BACKING HOOVER'S HAND

In the present campaign IN Montana the people of
the State should not lose sight of the national pol
tidal situation They should not forget the tower Of
strength President Hoover was to the country when
its industrial activities began to slow up the stock
market reached the bottom hole in prices and panic
was threatened Hoover stabilized the situation with
his prompted call for new construction throughout
the United States, and his quickly applied policy Of
putting the great corporations and financial leaders
on record as pledged to carry out his program.
President Green of the American Federation of
Labor has IN SO many words credited the president
with keeping up wages during the depressed months
that have followed the closing of factories and the
shrinking of the employment field. He has paid the
most complete tribute to the Republican Presidents
genius IN averting national catastrophe. With
Hoover at the helm Of state and Republican policies
IN force at Washington there is no doubt the evil eff
fleets Of the depression have been tremendously min
imzed.
Under the circumstances the Democrats hope to
benefit by the hard times that have put so many
working people out of work, and lowered prices for
farm products and livestock should be disappointed
Montana people should observe that while the Demo-
Gratis would try to make political capital out of the
hard times that pinch so many Montanas, they
offer program whatever either for the prevention
Of cycles of depression or the solution of farming
problems.
It would be the gravest mistake at this point to
move support from President Hoover. The contrary
course should be followed. The Republican candi-
dates for the senate and the house in Montana Judge
Albert J. Galen, Scott Leavitt and Mark Fitzgerald
are all Hoover men, and all support Republican poll
cies and programs.
Their election will strengthen Hoovers hand help
him restore prosperity, contribute to the mainten-
ance of wages and the return of normal prices for
farm products and aid in the Hoover plan to put az
ricuture on parity with other industries in its re-
turns A change at this crucial time to- Democratic
control will tend greatly to delay or defeat the plans

provided.

1t is apparent from the many public and private dis
cussions of this subject that there is better under
standing today than ever before of the intimate re-
lationship of national consumption to production,
and the necessity of maintaining this capacity to
sumo so that it will equal every industrial develop
ment.
To maintain existing wage scales seems to be as
essential to the investors welfare as to the manu-
facturers the merchants and the workmen.
The present condition of reduced production is the
result of period of depression set in motion prn-
cipaly by the failure Of consumption to keep pace
with production. AS result many corporations have
experienced reduced profits since last SUMNER bank
have been unable to loan money at the high rates
prevailing year ago. an army of Workmen have been
forced into ideness.
Would these conditions have been prevented or
more effectively minimized if wages had been re-
duced? Would lower wage scales have increased the
national demand for manufactured goods? Would
they have stimulated the public mind?
The logical and sound economic answer is TO be
found in the wage policy announced by President
Hoover, which was Endorsed by the financial the in
dustral and the trade union representatives who met
with him in confidence at his request last fall.
We can not stimulate ndustry's capacity to pro-
duce by reducing wages; and, through this action
limiting the wage earners influence as consumer.

WAGES AND PROSPERITY

There are humanitarian and social conditions in
Voved in the question OF wages. These must be given
thought but the economic considerations are the all
important, for an economically unsoundwage would
be disturbing disastrous regardless of any humane
or social bearing.
We are not alone in dealing with industrial depres
sion. 1t is worldwide. But we are more happily sit
uated No country possesses such natural resources
such variety of agricultural products None are so
well equipped industrally. None less burdened with
debt or lack of capital.
We can look into the future with greater conf
dence than any other people, The present lower in
dustral pulse will soon beat more vigorously than
The stimulant required is the capacity to pur
chase.
When the present depression indicated it's arrival
the President Of the United States announced pro-
gram never before ventured by Chief Executive at
such time. 1t would not prevent depression for
it had already arrived but it could accomplish much
in preventing the injury to industry and commerce
which might follow, and which invariably had in the
past
Had our investors withdrawn their capital had
our industriaists refrained from launching extern
tensve construction programs, and had the wage
scales been reduced, we would probably have expert
fenced all of the disasters which have overwhelmed
investors during previous depressions

trial patient to breathe, the windows were opened

police Force" Keeping
Insect Pests in Check

For a good many years now
science has been fighting insect
armies, and, curfously enough,
amongst it's most potent weapons
are insects themselves. 1t has been
found that there is hardly an in
sect which is not preyed upon by
some other kind. Nature has, in
fact, evolved a kind Of insect po-
lice force, which keeps marauders
from becoming too numerous. The
greenf1y, which does so much dam
age to roses, has a powerful foe in
the larva of the ladybird, while
lchnumon flies serve to keep the
devastations of caterpillars within
bounds.
But this police force is not al
ways adequate, and science is en-
gagged in the production of flying
squads. Whenever a plague of OBJ
noxious insects is noticed in any
part of the empire, others which are
known to prey upon the pests are
bred in large numbers at an insect
ZOO in a Hertfordshire village and
are sent out to do battle.
Policeman insects have already
been sent to Australia, New Zea-
land, Canada, India, Africa, and
the West Indies, and every year the
flying squad Of the scientists is
Waging more and more relentless
war upon insect robbers and pirates

FOREIGNERS LIKE AMERICAN CANDY

Not content with eating more candy than any 9TH
country IN the world the United States now sends
abroad more than 100000 pounds of candy year.
We the worlds largest exporter Of confectionery
products.
According to the Department of Commerce, Great
Britain leads all other countries in the American
dy consumes. The fiscal year ending June 80 1890,
United States candy makers shipped 347576o pounds
Of confectionery to the United Kingdom to tickle
British palates. N@& $500
Two American colonies, Hawaii and Porto Rico,
were our next best customers each consuming about
two and half million pounds of candy annually. Can
ada followed with 100000 pounds, Alaska was a
close fifth with almost 100000 pounds Of candy
eaten during the year
Venezuela was first among the Latin American
countries, with confectionery sales amounting to
nearly 100000 pounds. The little state of Panama,
perhaps because of the example set by Americans in
the neighboring Canal Zone, the next with $780,,
600 pounds.
England favors our hard and gum candies over
chocolates. Chocolates amounted to less than per
cent of the American candy exports to the United
Kingdom, although they comprise over 16 per cent
of the 18,325,770 pounds of candy exported by the
United States last year.

them down at Custer and shipped
them to Glendale, North Dakota,
as thler former employer learned
after several months search. 1t is
needless to state here that they
were brought back to this land of
hope and promise, where the water
is so pure and the climate so mild
to devote several years to break
ing up rock behind prison bars,
but that is another story.
However, not wishing to have
his horses shipped back here at a
great expense the Red Lodge man
went to Glendale and sold his
horses at private sale. Among the
transfers made was one to farm
er who needed team and being
short of cash gave his note for
$125 payable in one year. A de-
eade thereafter that note was still
unpaid. In fact the Red Lodge man
never expected it ever would be
paid as he had never heard from
the debtor.
One day a man walked into the
sheriff's office in Billings and
made inquiry as to the wherea-
bouts of the man to whom he had
given the note more than Ia years
before. The sheriff looked at the
note and guessing at the initials
j. w. c. belonging to the Red
Lodge stockman, sent him on to
this city where he met the man
whom he had Travelled 800 miles
to pay what he owed. He proved
that he had addressed several let
tiers that were returned unclaimed
as he didn't certainly know his
creditors name. J. w. G. threw
off the interest, accepted only the
principal entertained the North
Dakota man in his home for ten
days, showed him the surround
ing country and then took him
to the depot and bought him
ticket to Glendale, including
sleeper.
J. w. c. makes no pretense of
being a philanthropist. | suppose
that if the truth were known he
has given away considerably more
than he owns today though he
rates as very rich man. Probably
he will resent having this story
told.
He didn't need or want the mon
ey the Dakota man rendered him.
He cherishes the memory of the
transaction as the fairest flower
he has ever plucked from the rose
garden of human honesty and hui
man fairness.
I think such stories should be
told. They bolster up ones faith
in the honesty of his fellow men
or at least in some of them.

CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
BY FL. IRWIN g KING
TOADS AND TOMATOES

HANDLING toads causes warts.
IL Any old-time dweller in the ru-
raj districts can tell you that-and
prove it by citing cases. II told
Johnny not to play with toads; but
he would do it and now just look
at his handsl'' This superstition
Is simply a survival Of that homeo-
pathic magic so popular in all ages
the doctrine of like causes like"
The toad is q warty creature-if
the child handles him, the child's
hands become warty.
When the tomato first began to
be used as an article of food-and
that was about 1904 popular
prejudice sprang up against it on
the ground that the eating Of it
"caused cancer" This superstition
Is now almost extinct, but now and
then you will run across it still. 1t
has it's origin in this same homeo-
pathic magic.
A tomato cut in half through its
equator" presented a surface in
which there is a fancied resem-
blance to full-grown, virulent
cancer. Therefore to eat the to-
mato would cause cancer. The in
cident of the tomato shows that the
primitive mind Of man is still at
work and is capable of originating
new superstitions as well as retain
ing and perpetuating those of our
ancestors.

Old Time Honesty

In the good old days back yon-
der before autos, radios and boy
ISL bobs were invented, asking a
man to give his note was just the
next thing to an insult. Men prld-
ed themselves on their honesty
and on their reputation for paying
their bills without the formality
of court action so common now
Valuable farms were sold and such
other importah1t business trans
actions consummated by oral con-
tracts and while deeds, bills Of
sale and other records of trans
fer were necessarily delivered,
they were looked upon as as mere
I egal formalitY, as indeed they
were. "His word is as good as his
bond" was common saying among
the pioneers. All of which brings
to me story, every word of which
is true.
Back in those old days some
forty years ago, a certain well
known and highly respected res
ident of Red Lodge, was then en-
gagged in the stock business on a
large scale. His herds ranged both
in Montana and Wyoming and a.
mong his holdings were several
hundreds of extra good horses that
ranged in what is now Carbon
County, Montana and Park Co.
unity, Wyoming. It seems that dur
ing one summer he had two men,
who were brothers, in his employ
and with the coming of autumn,
not needing their help further, he
paid them what he owed them ana
they departed from this locality.
However, before doing so, they
rounded up several car loads OF
their employers fine horses, loaded
