A SUGGESTION

A Herald reader contributes the
following timely suggestion:
TN view of some recent occur
rences here in the way of the In
explained disappearance of a min
or boy or girl, it is suggested that
such disappearance be at once re-
ported to Judge Gordon, who is
a probation officer and deputy of
the state bureau of child protect
ion. Time is an important ele-
ment in such cases and immediate
action may prevent harmful re-
suits. In all cases involving the
welfare of minors it would be we'll
to report them without delay.
Unsuitable publicity, such as
names, is never given to
such cases and the idea of send
ing a minor to some institution or
bringing the minor into district
court is never entertained except
as a last resort. A good parents
home ranks highest, next any
good home and it is indeed a poor
home that won't beat any of these
institutions good in their
way though they may be- for the
bringing out the best in a minor"

A VILLAGE OUT OF DEBT

The village of Long Prairie, MINI, is out of debt 1t has just
cancelled its last outstanding bond. It's responsible authorities de-
clare their intention to stay out of debt In the future public i'm
built up al required.
In the matter of municipal improvements this puts Long Prairie
on a pay-as-yougo basis, something of an innovation in municipal
policy, although the plan has worked well in other small towns
and cities.
Meanimes the signs multiply that the Long Prairie plan of
municipal financing is growing in favor in all the political subdi
visions. Wikin county recently dedicated a courthouse free from
debt. Other Minnesota counties have since followed its example.
It's a good plan and its more general adoption will operate to min
imize the problems OF municipal finance.
The policy of mortgaging the future has proven it is costly,
needlessly, in most small towns and cities. The pay-asyou-go policy
seems to be increasing in favor 1t has many things to recommend
it. Not the least of them is that it is good business.
A lot of towns can take a lesson from Long Prairie. the city
out of debt and planning wisely for its future expenditures on a
cash basis through the medium Of a annual levy for a revolving
fund. conditioned in accordance with its needs and anticipating them.
Minneapolis Tribune.
The thing next best to being out of debt is getting out of debt
and cutting off interest. But that policy calls for levies which are
something many taxpayers and voters object to and often vote down.
The cash in advance or pay as you go plan has tremendous advant-
q because it grows by its own earning power and helps to boost
itself In other words somebody else pays the interest-Editor.

"NOTHING IN THE PAPER"
(Terry Tribune)


Frequently you pick up a local
paper and after glancing over it,
YEARLY thrust 1t aside remarking,
Nothing in the paper this week.
Did you ever stop to think what
that phrase, nothing in the pa
per-" means?
1t means that In the week just
passed, no misfortune has befallen
the community; that no fire has
wiped out a neighbours worldly
goods; that the grim angel of
death has crossed no threshold of
a friend; that no man driven by
liquor, hatred or fear, has taken
the life of a human; that no poor
devil, haunted by the past or mis-
dees of some other, has crossed
the divide by his own hand; that
many things ought not to happen
have not happened. So next time
you pick up a paper that does not
announce tragedy, give IA little
thanks instead of grumbling be-
cause there is no news.

PEOPLE LIKED BRIDGE
EDITION OF HERALD

The Bridge dedication issue Of
The Herald drew forth a consid-
cradle number of favorable COM
ments from individuals and news
papers both far and near.
The Mortified News of North
field, Mimi, one of the model
newspapers of that state says
Completion of the first highway
bridge owe the Missouri river
east of Fort Benton, Montana, was
celebrated with appropriate exer-
cises at its formal dedication July
9 at Wolf Point, Mont. The Wolf
Point Herald, in honor of the oc-
c~asion, issued a twelve-page edi-
ton which would be a credit to
a community considerably larger
in population than Wolf Point,
which boasts some over 2,000."
The C%ulbertson business men
spoke of it as lone of the finest
pieces of publicity" they had seen
in a long while.
The Chouteau Acantha has the
following to say editorially about
the bridge and the special edition.
From way over in the north
eastern part of Montana-where
few Montanans who live west of
Great Falls and south of Lewis
town ever gets Wolf Point, the
county seat of Roosevelt county.
There they have just completed a
new bridge which spans the tur-
bulent waters of the Missouri.
1.-THE Wolf Point Herald, official
paper of Roosevelt county, came
out on July 9 as a Bridge edition
Extra, twelve pages, good paper,
beautifully illustrated, excellently
printed, nicely made up-a credit
to the editors and publishers and

"Mr. Nut was attended by Mr.
Pate as groomsman. AS the groom
approached the altar, he was the
cynosure if all eyes. Blushing
prettily, he replied to the ques-
lions of the clergyman in low but
firm tones. He was charmingly
clad in a ~three-piece suit, con
sisting of coat, vest and pants.
The coat, of some dark material,
was carefully draped around the
shoulders and ta%stefully gathered
under the arms. A pretty story
was current among the wedding
guests that the coat was the same
one worm by his father and grand
father on their wedding day. Mr..
Nut would neither affirm or deny
the truth of this sentimental
touch. The vest was sleeveless
and met in front. 1t was grace
fully fashioned with pockets, and
at the back was held together by
a strap of same material.
THE groom's pants were of
dark worsted and were suspended
from the waist, falling in a
straight line almost to the floor.
The severe simplicity of the gar
ment was relieved by the right
pantlet which was caught up about
four inches by a Boston Brighton
worn underneath, revealing just
the artistic glimpse of Holeproof
above the boots which were Of
genuine leather laced with strings
of the same color. The effect was
rather chic. Beneath the vest the
groom wore blue g~allusses, attach
ed fore and aft to the pants and
crossing in q general curve over
each shoulder. This pretty and
useful part of the costume would
have passed unnoticed had not the
groom muffed the ring when Mr..
Pate slipped it to him, When he
stopped to recover the errant
circlet the pants and suspenders
prettily revealed. His neck
encircled by a collar char
.acterized by a delicate saw edge,
around the collar a cravat was
loosely knotted so that it rode
under his left ear with the studied
effect Of c~arelessness which makes
the supreme artistry in dress.
"Mr. Pate's costume was essen
tally like the groom's and when
the two stood at the altar a hush
awed admiration enveloped the
audience at the complete and
wonderful harmony of their raj
nent. Actually you could hardly
have told one from the other had
It not been for a patch of court
worn by the groom over
/ nick in his chin made by a safe
~ razor. Neither Mr.. Nut nor
Mr.. Pate wore a hat at the cere-
nony.
"As Miss Right entered she
wore the conventional veil and
orange blossoms"

Agriculture Body Urges
Use OF Wheat For Feed

The value of wheat for feeding
purposes is placed by the depart
ment of agriculture from five to
nine cents a bushel higher than
the average farm price of July Is.
The department suggested that
wheat can be substituted to adj
vantage for corn in feeding live
stock when prices are as low as
they are at present in some sec
tons of the country.
THE average farm price of
corn for the United States last
MONTH" the department said, was
about 70 cents per bushel. AT this
price for corn, wheat is worth
about 85 cents for feeding poultry
and sheep, and about SO cents for
feeding to hogs and beef cattle.
The average farm price of wheat
July 81 was about IS cents per
busheI.-Exchange.

THE GROOM GETS HIS
JUST DUES

Montevideo (Minn.) News.-A
feminine reader has our gratitude
for turning in the following we'd
ding story, which gives more than
the ordinary mention of the
groom. 1t is generally agreed that
the groom doesn't amount to
much at the ceremony, ordinarily.
but he gets his just dues in the
following report:
Mr.. Phil Bert, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Brazil Nut, became the
bridegroom of Miss Equal Right
at noon today. The ceremony took
place at the home of the groom's
parents and was largely attended.

1880 VS.. 1900

(Freeman, 5. D. Cour1er)
The generation of today is IN
der the impression that years ago
it was easier to make money on
the farm because what you bought
was cheaper. The people who
went through the ups and downs
Of the old days think it's easier
now. The fellow who has never
farmed has the most advice. If
there is anything most people are
free with it's advice and strange
az though it may seem, the less
they know on a subject the more
free they are with advice. Like
sitting on the bank and telling
the fellow in the water how to
swim. The big trouble today
seems that it costs more to pro-
duce a crop than the crop is
worth. The SOW eats too much
chow, the hen needs too expensive
a pen, with cream it looks like
a dream. When the high priced
dairy cow, the mortgage litter,
a bought cream sold for close
to so cents and now it comes
down to % cents some days, and
that can't make the mortgage
bulge. But don't get discouraged,
Mr.. Farmer, it helps more to ex-
tend the line than to whine. AT
ter all this argument we don't
feel like horning in but will give
some cold facts and each one can
form his own conclusion. We give
below the prices Of articles 80
years ago and today.

BARRING RECKLESS DRIVERS
(Great Falls Tribune)

A1NN0t Ill ttOtASf
The most successful deterrent
we have against reckless driving
in the view of the chief motor
vehicle inspector Of Pennsylvania,
is the drivers license law, and
he produces figures to back up
his statement. He has the figures
because Pennsylvania kept books
on the highway casualties.
When a Pennsylvania drivers
license is taken away from him,
he has the right of appeal from
the ruling OF the highway com
mission. But though driving priv
ileges were withdrawn from 5,S69
persons in Pennsylvania last year,
there was not one appeal. The
penalized drivers knew the evil
dence was all against them.
1t does not follow that Pennsyl-
vania has no highway accidents.
But the officials try to find out
causes, and they apply penalties

as best they can. There were 49,
TIC accidents reported last year.
In examining causes, it was found
that there had been 38,186 viola
lions of the motor vehicle code.
Much depends on keeping rec
ords, the Pennsylvanians believe.
They regard fines as almost fu-
tile with habitual violators of the
law, and prison sentences are no
tOriously rare and of short dura-
ton. With a centralized record,
habitual violators are discovered
and weeded out. The same holds
trus as to drivers with accident
frequency. The driver license law
is the best weapon of the state
against these menaces to public
safety.

Prairie County Has A
Farm Woman Optimist
(Terry Tribune)

One of Prairie county's intelli-
gent farm woman was in the Trib-
une office the other day and in
the curse of a conversation gave
utterance to the Unborn optimism
that must be a part of the farm
er's stock in trade if he stays on
the job year after year. She has
lived on a farm for many long
years, through good times and
bad, but has not lost her love for
farm life nor her confidence that
everything always turns out all
right in the long run.
Commenting on the present low
prices for dairy and poultry pro-
ducts, she admitted they were
very, very low. But we can't ex-
pect to get top prices all the
time" she remarked cheerfully.
we have to take the slumps and
get along the best way we can.
There's one thing about the
farm" she continued, "and that is
we always have plenty to eat and
wear-we ate Sunday dinner with
a town family recently, and they
had to buy their butter and cream,
their eggs and most of their vege-
tables. If we farmers had to buy
everything we eat the way the
town people do, l don't know how
we would get along" she said.
She expressed her sympathy for
the poor in the towns and cities
and could not understand how
they exist at all.

PROSPERITY's AFTERMATH

times would last forever, too lit
tie desire to save for the seven

of people out of employment. The
fellows that are not working are
not eating as much az they did of
the farmers butter, eggs, beef

BRIDGES
Acantha)

(ChOuteau Acantha)
Bridges during all times have been one of the means by which
the barriers have been broken down and intercourse between peoples
brought about. In Montana there should be more breaking of the
barriers. Thus the Wolf Point bridge, the completion of the Roose-
welt highway over the Rockies, and other works now in progress,
r. steps forward in the state. Distance is another of the tremendous
barriers in the state, but automobiles and good roads and eventually
the airplane, will eliminate that also. And when we have at last
conquered the physical barriers, we shall have accomplished much
toward the development of a happier state by the bringing about
of a better understanding between sections. In other words the
conquest of physical barriers helps to take from the minds and hearts
of men such attributes as prejudice, selnshness and bigotry. The
building of bridges to surmount these barriers is infinitely more
difficult than the building of bridges to span rivers o the boring
of tunnels through mountains.

"Proftless Prosperity? Do we remember that under the surface
