WHAT HOME is
Great Falls Tribune)

Home is where the heart
dwells. 1t contains jewels that
cannot be purchased in the mark
cts of the world. Its motto is
service; its reward, love"
A 7O-year old woman, Mrs. M.
Jones of Bainville, composed
these lines, and they have been
sent to The Tribune. Here is a
sentiment as rich in lofty mean
ing as any ever expressed by a
( poet. To have lived 70 years is to
have experienced life in all it's
vicissitudes, known it's sorrows,
felt it's joys, and appreciated its
values.
To have lived 70 years Is to
have come to understand in fuller
significance the sublimity Of
home. For the maturity of years
that brings wisdom rich and re-
freshing endows us with an un-
suspected measure of discernment.
We find exampling similitudes in
the commonplace, reality in the
unreal. And so the years teach
us that home is where the heart
dwells.
Home is where the heart dwells.
Be it here or afar, be it in city
or in hamlet or in rural place,
in the arctic or in the tropics
home is where the heart dwells;
where love is, and the tenderness
of life reposes. Home is not mere
ly a shelter; it is the atmosphere
of security, the place made sac
red by affections, the fame Of
cherished emotions.
And it contains jewels that can
not be purchased in the markets
of the world. For truly there are
things that money cannot buy,
that the mere material wealth of
no man can acquire, that no
weight Of worldly power can COM
mand.
It's motto is service and its re-
ward is love. That service is un-
selfish, for love is unselfish. That
is why love is so beautiful, so
high above the other matters Of
life. 1t seeks no reward, and be-
cause it seeks none, it is reward
ed.
The noblest efforts of the poet
have extolled home and have
done what the words of man can
do to picture home as a place,
although part of life, yet apart
from life. After all, home is the
one great reason for the tolls of
this life-its simple peace, its
unfathomable happiness, have a
worth more substantial than the
dross of worldly wealth. This
thought has been expressed by
multitudes, and multitudes to
come will continue to express it.
And yet the true meaning of home
is still beyond articulate utter
ance.
Only the heart knows what
home is-and what the heart feels
deepest cannot be expressed. So
when one who has seen 20 years
of life tells us that home is where
the heart dwells, we know home
must be more than a lot with a
house on it.

J. joy~ousness,
AS you go faring in the travelled way;
| pray that kindly Beauty lean to bless
The labors that you do from day to day.
And | would have the stars CLEAN through

When all the world is mystically stilled.
To light you to a garden, sweet with musk.
Where you will find your long'sought

But, if you must know tears and sorrowlng.
If YOU must taste the bitterness of rue,
To- would have you strong enough to sing
The while you bravely shape your
dreams anew,
In spite of anguish and the cruel rod,
Out of your hearts high hopes and faith
in God!

Davis of Missoula and j. d. Scan
Ian of Miles City prepared the
following findings, which were
adopted as the platform of the
conference:
This conference of citizens,
called by the governor al the re-
quest of the state board of edu-
cation, finds the states institu
tons of higher learning in the
following situation:
There has been an increase
of student enrolment far in ex-
cess Of the supporting revenue
for the conduct of these inst1tu-
tons.
"The present IL mills levy pro-
yided for the maintenance of
these institutions in 1920 expires
by Limitation Dec. 81, next, leav-
ing them in an impossible oper-
ating situation, unless new rev.
enue is provided.
Heavy Expenses
For several years past, the
current expense of operating the
university have been considerably
in excess of the mill and a half
provided by law, causing a con
tinual deficit in state finances.
1t is found that new units have
been added to the greater univers-
tiles entailing additional operat-
ing costs.
"In view of these facts, be it
resolved by the delegates in con-
ference:
THAT the proposed 3-mill levy
to cover the university's operat-
ing costs and including mainten-
ance of all university activities,
constitutes a modest response to
the imperative needs of the Great
er university.
eve, therefore, approve the
mileage tax referendum submitted
to the legislature and recon-
mend it to the favorable consider
alton of the voters of the state.
I'VE further find:
THAT both the educational and
other state institutions r in
great need of further capital in
vestment for buildings and equip
ment.
"There are two new educational
units, created by the legislature,
which are now without any build
ings whatever.
"The state is also using build
ings for classroom and other pur-
poses which are inadequate and
some of which constitute a fire
hazard.
New buildings must be sup
piled especially at the state pris-
on and the state hospital for the
insane. where conditions now are
~intolerable, due to overcrowded &C.
cupancy.
Other Needs
There are other state institu-
tions where building needs are
clearly apparent.
Therefore be it resolved that
the $3,000,0 900 bond issue propos-
ed by the legislature for referen-
dunn constitutes merely and only
a present emergency demand up
on the people of the state for
construction which cannot be de-
layed.
1--WE, therefore, recommend this
measure for popular approval.
1--WE further find that the pro
posed bond issue will by no means
meet the capital investment needs
of our state institutions for the
next fiye-year period.
1--WE, therefore,, deem it highly
desirable that the governor name
a commission to make a careful
and exhaustive business survey
for the purpose of determining
the construction and equipment
needs of all institutions operated
oy the state and report its find
.ngs to the state administration
and the legislature"

THE DANCES, THE CHILDREN
AND Tile LAW

IN the course of a communication to The Herald q citizen who
has the welfare of the town, and especially the young folks, at heart,
has the following to say:
Since social problems are so pressing, the public dance is a
great menace to the young people. We can't reasonably forbid young
people the dances and supply nothing in their places, and since
dances are such a popular form of amusement it seems we might
still have them as in other places.
According to our state law children under sixteen years of age
are not allowed at dances unless accompanied by parent or guardian.
We might enforce that law, also bring back the curfew.
"a man from Portland was discussing the town with me lately
and he severally criticized the dances. He said Portland used one
idea that got results. They charge the entrance admission, sup
posedly to pay for the evenings entertainment, then if anyone leaves
that person has to pay another admission to return. That eliminates
most of the running in and out and controls the drinking situation
to q great extent. If we can clean up our dances perhaps more of
the desirable adults will turn out. OF course some Of our bad ex
amples are adults"
The subject is appropriate for discussion. It is largely a matter
for the decision of each family but busy parents are prone to yield
to insistant children and take for granted that all is well with their
boys and girls. It is doubtful if one out of so parents is aware that
the above quoted law is on the books, and it should prove an excellent
aid TO the management of danceIovng children. Properly conducted
and controlled, dancing is a delightful recreation. AS in so many
affairs of life intoxicants have married dances and tainted them
with an element of danger and disgrace.

MoNrANA.s oPPoRTuNITY
Great Falls Tribune)

The development congress which will be held in Helena next
Monday and Tuesday will open the door of a great opportunity for
Montana. If it is attended by representative men from every section
of the state-and we believe it will be-the problems and the apfr
ations of every community and every industry will be fairly pre-
scented. Out of this presentation will come a better understanding
which should pave the way for more effective cooperation in build
ing up the state.
Montana has the natural resources and the kind of people with
which to make a great commonwealth. Achievement, however, de
ponds upon united effort. The day of community rows, sectional
strife, and industrial warfare has gone. In its stead we have the
day of working together for mutual advantage.
1t has been demonstrated that no town or city can be prosperous
permanently at the expense of another. Neither can one industry
get ahead by putting obstacles in the way of another. So why should
any town or section waste energy in jealousies, o why should one
industry hesitate to support reasonable measures which will help
one another?
Obviously, nothing is to be gained in dividend councils or in
working at cross purposes. A more prosperous agriculture will con-
tribute to the prosperity of towns and cities. A more prosperous
mining industry not only will bring prosperity to mining districts
but to the agricultural SECTIONS from which foodstuffs are obtained
Montana needs more people and new capital to better develop
all of its industries. Neither will be attracted here unless we unite
on a program which takes into account every section of this huge state.
The suggestion that a state chamber of commerce should be or
ganized as a vehicle to promote Montanas greater development Is
a good one. We need a clearing house for the consideration of our
common problems and we need a single organization through which
all Of US work to a single end.
Montanas great opportunity is before us. Let us make the
of it.

SPEED AND SAFE DRIVING

Michigan, which has earned the
title of the motor state, was one
of the first states to legally rec
ognize that an arbitrary speed
limit was not a fair or adequate
solution of road safety, the engi-
neers report. AS a result of this
finding, the Michigan legislature
abolished a fixed speed limit
three years ago and substituted a
definition of safe driving instead.
This reads:
Amy person who drives any
vehicle on the highway shall drive
the same at a careful and pru-
dent speed not greater nor less
than is reasonable and proper,
having due regard for the traffic,
service and width of the highway
and any other conditions then ex-
listing. And no person shall drive
any vehicle upon the highway at
a speed greater than will permit
him to bring it to a stop within
the assured clear distance ahead"
1t is pointed out that the final
sentence of this section of the
law clearly defines the legal
speed of an automobile to be the
of the brakes to bring it
to a stop within the clear distance
ahead.
With cars travelling within ten
yards of each other, an automo-
bile with inefficient brakes would
be violating the law if it travelled
faster than 20 or 25 miles an
lour, where another car with
brake equipment could
considerably faster and yet

Trenton's leading citizens waited

of the inhabitants of Bloomsbury
who had joined the T~rentonians on

horse and light infantry companies
formed the escorting column into
the village of Trenton" It was
peculiarly fitting that Trenton
should plan a great welcome. This
was an historic spot and George
Washington had made the history.
Here he had captured a body of
HesSian m~ercenaries under Colonel
Ball, "who had done all that bad
men could do to injure the people
of the Jerseys" At this very
spot also he had withstood for
hours the advance Of the British
and afterward performed one of
the mastery movements of the war.
During these eventful weeks he
had NEARLY freed the entire state
of an insOlent foe" These circum-
stances, now recalled, gave New
Jersey its first opportunity to do
honor to its deliverer. The people

THE sALvAeED MINOR" LAWS

Thorough investigation of drinking among local school students,
and of the sources OF the intoXicants, and the resulting recent arrest
of seven persons charged with the sale of moonshine to minors, is
a most cheerful ray of sunshine from between clouds.
When the good American citizens Of Montana, a few years ago,
wiped the state enforcement laws off the slate, and turned the Treas
ure State over to the booteggers and their followers, one of the
most valuable treasures was savaged from the loss-the statutes
pertaining to intoxicants and minor persons. The exclusion of these
niicant. Evidently they feared the proposed law would fail if made
too sweeping. 1t is difficult to discover what other reason they had.
If moonshne and whisky is not suitable stuff for a girl of II and n
boy of 20 it is not good for them at the ages of Is and 81.
The progress already made shows what police, prosecutors and
courts can accomplish if their efforts are determined and in harmony.
Supt. Frank H. Livingston, Attorneys Marion and Foor and Justice
Geringer are the recipients of many well deserved concentrations
for their good work. Once begun it is not likely to cease.

Here at the bridge, the site of a

about twenty feet high was raised,
supported on one side by seven and

by setting a fixed speed limit OF
35 miles or more an hour, cars
with poor braking equipment may
be driven at a legal rate of speed,

held to a comparatively slow
speed when they could proceed
