A TENS in the country. parents
should remember that all studying
is not done in the classrooms.
Fine buildings and excellent
teaching staffS have not been found
10 be a substitute for home work
and the parents whose children
come home bookleSs should tnveS-
tigate.
Few are the prodigies who can
do more than get by" without
much home study and the response
bility for seeing TO 1t that children
do home work does not fall on the
teachers but the parents. All the
teacher can do is assign the nome
work and penalize the child II he
does not study at home. It Is up
taAthe parents to see that their chill
dTyen put in the required time on
home study.
In this day and time the number
of outside activities at the schools
and the additional liberties enjoyed
by children seems TO have caused a
let-down in home work. It Is en-
tirely possible that a child partict-
nate IN q reasonable number Of out
SIDE activities, the value Of which
is regarded more highly by ecuca-
tors than ever before, and still
maintain a high standard Of class
and home work. After all the home
and the fireside Is still Americas
bulwark OF strength and progress.

stands in q position TO quickly be-
come a big city as cities go, or

AT present she offers many in
ducements. Off hand some are the
deep water port which will bring
ships to her door. The money has
already been appropriated and both
the Mexican and American govern
ments are planning 70 make o. IL
a great port.
Brownsville offers a y~ear-round
climate unparalleled. Only slight
changes in the thermometer read
ings. No storms. no earthquakes.
Florida and California may fire

beaches and in Matamoros. "A sur

Brownsville and its immediate

the last frontier In that respect.

Will Cut Vein
In IT'S Feet

E. H. Ely, geologist of Spokane, was
in Libby Tuesday with a party of
six Pullman and Spokane men who
are interested in the Victor Gold Min
ing and Milling company, with prop
critics on Granite creek south Of Libby.
Mr.. Ely reported that fine progress is
being made at the mine in tunneling to
the vein cut by the diamond drilling
a few years ago, when unusual gold
values were indicated
-Four men are steadily at work at
the mine said Eby, and are making
great progress. They have about It's
feet still to tunnel before cutting the
big vein that outcrops on the surface.
After cutting this vein the plan is to
follow it in to the point where the dia-
mond drill pierced the quartz. We ex-
pect it will require about two months
for that work
Campbell & Haitley of Pullman. fis-
cal agents for the mine, are meeting
with good success in financing the de-
velopment work and everything is most
encouraging, said Mr.. Ely. The Victor
property has one of the best geological
formations in this district, with large
outcropping of ore on the surface, fea-
tured by heavy iron Gaping.

In what probably was the closest cleo
ton contest ever held in Lincoln coun-
ty, M. D. Rowland won the republican
nomination for state senator at the pri-
mary election Tuesday by the small
margin of two votes. Rowland polled
$50 votes and Leo S. Welch 564.
The senatorial race was the one that
elected the most interest, and the re-
turns as they came in were eagerly
watched by many interested partisans
OF the two contestants. The race in
Libby was particularly close, WEIGH
nosing out by Fl votes. Welch's count
again went up when Troy returns
came in with margin of 27 votes for
him. Soon however, reports from Eu-
reka and Fortine switched the lead to
Rowland, which he maintained with a
gradually decreasing margin as out
side precincts reported The last pre-
cinct to report-Gateway- placed the
final figures as stated above, with
Rowland holding two vote lead
The other contest of interest was
tor county commissioner on the repub-
lican ticket. Fl. E. Brink, the present
incumbent, wins the nomination with
large margin, polling sos votes to
H. A. Joughin's EGO, his nearest or
ponen..

nomination for county treasurer, with

Take Care There Is No Bicycle Behind
Your Car Before You Back 1t Up

A bicycle is vehicle and has as
much right to use the public highways
as an auto. At least that is what Mon
tana law says.
Here's a tip to drivers of automo-
biles.
II you get into your car after park
ing it at the curb in the business dis
trict before backing out be sure to
look behind you In fact it is much
safer to walk all around your car be-
fore stepping on the gas. A bicycle
which remember, is also a vehicle :
may be lying on the street behind
your car, parked there by its youthful
owner. And if you unknowingly drive
oper that bicycle and smash all its
gaily painted and shiny parts, it is just
too bad for you
You will have the bicycle to pay for.
That is what H. w. Redfield found
out to his sorrow Recently MIR. Red
field backed his car out from the curb,

JOIN THE FOREST FIRE BRIGADE

With the hot sunshine of July and
August recur the annual menace ! to
the cool, green forests of the north
west-a peril that grows with the years
and the increasing difficulty of guard
ing the timbered areas against the
carlessness of hunters, fishers, tourists
and picnickers. They need reminders
and specific counsel, and seldom has
it been better given than in these adj
monishments recently published in the
Spokesman Review:
BE sure that your match is out
sure before tossing it away 1t is well
to break the stick in two.
Cigar stubs, cigarettes, pipe ashes
should be put out before they are dis
carded and then they should never
be thrown where there is possibility
of starting fire.
Building small camp fire while
in the woods Rake away all inflam-
mable material before lighting the fire
Never build fire against a tree OF
log. And, most important of all, never
leave camp fire until you are abb
solutely sure that it is out. Pour plenty
of water on it or bury 1t with mineral
SOIL After you think it is out, feel Of
the ashes with your hand"
When in the woods, be thoughtful
not needless Be intelligent, not foolish
Be responsible, not an irresponsible
citizen. You enjoy the forests this year
Others, perhaps your descendants
should enjoy them 10, So 100 years
from now.

not thinking to look on the ground be-
hind him. Undoubtedly he took care
to see that there were no persons or
cars behind him but he did not think
of bicycles With the result that a
nice new bicycle-held in high esteem
by Jane La Munyan--is no longer a
bicycle, it is now only mass of broken
and twisted parts.
Of course, Mr. Redfield was sorry
He was willing to pay for half the
damage done but he was of the opinion
that there was contributing negligence
by the bicycle owner But the city dads
and legal opinion consulted said that
the law was explicit A bicycle is a
vehicle and entitled to use the pu.4.it

So Mr.. Redfield paid for the damage
done.

Forest Fires Burning
miSSOula District
(By United Press

Fire hazards in Montana's national
forests have reached a critical stage
and forest service officials have TAX
en- drastic measures during the past
week to prevent avoidable conflagra-
tons.
In many sections, the hazard-al-
ready high because of dearth of rain
fall-has increased greatly by lightning
storms. Numerous small fires have been
fought in the forested districts.
In the Missoula district alone, s.
small fires tracable to lightning were
reported during the week. These in
cluded al fires in the Bitter Root val
ley; six in East Selway forest, five in
the Frenchtown area, and three along
CBrien creek.
Other fires were reported from Flat
head, and Helena national forests where
the hazard was great because of pro-
tracted deficit of rain. Toward the lat
ter part of the week, however, some
rainfall in the Missoula district i'm
proved conditions somewhat.
Emergency patrolmen have been
placed in service by forest officials to
look out for fires left by careless
campers. West of the continental divide
permit is required of all who wish
to leave the main highways, and all
motorists are warned of the danger
IN throwing burning cigarettes OF
matches from automobiles.

Supervisor Warns
Against ForcStFircS

The forest fire season is here and
the very hot weather and breexes oil
the past week or 10 days are rapidly
drying out the forests. This distric1
has been fortunate 50 far, and there
have been no fires of any importance
although Other parts Of the xtat. hsvx
not been SO fortunate, as bad fires have
been burning in the Missoula district
and elsewhere
Supervisor f. j. jefferson Of the
kootenai national forest broadcasts a
warning to all people to be extremely
careful while in the forests. Under re-
cent date Mr.. Jefferson issued the fol-
lowing letter.
The disastrous fires of 1929 are vet
fresh IN our memories, and reference
to them may not be altogether neces-
sary to many of the residents of this
district who took a direct part in re-
porting fires promptly and in help
ing to suppress fires, small and large.
We will soon be in the dry period
of 1890
"A large item Of expense and dam
age IN 1929 was due to man-caused
iSS, dilu concerted dCllOn Is needed
on the part of everyone to prevent
such fires.
More care with clearing fires as
well as with smoking materials and
camp fires will reduce the cost and
damage, and extra precaution ON fire
hazards such as slash and other debris
will afford very increased measure
OF security Such areas should of
course, be cleaned up as early this fall
as possible. These are things that
should be done by every good citizen,
for unchanged public resources re-
fleet benefit directly or indirectly
to every person in the region
The national forests are yours, and
all that a loyal and energetic force
OF federal employees may do will fall
short of satisfactory accomplishment
unless the public is vitality interested
and continuously active in safeguard
ing the public forests
