A s we drove along beside
" the Hudson River we
~ noticed a crowd at one
4 \ of the piers. A dis
couraged gentleman had at
tempted to drown himself.
Dripping and detected, he
sat on an empty barrel, while
the cop who had pulled him
out of the water talked to him
like a big brother. Presently
the patrol wagon arrived to
take them away, the cop still
uttering words of friendly en-
couragement.
At a busy corner stood a
woman with a baby in her
arms and a youngster Juggling
at her skirt, anXiouSly viewing
the torrent of traffic, afraid to
plunge in.
The cop in the middle CT the
street sighted her, and raised
his arm with a knightly GEES
ture. The city stopped while
the GlIlllu llGGle HlOIleF crossed
over.
1t was late at night. On the
steps of a residence, the win
doWS Of which were shattered,
a man vas Slouched in an OBJ
Vious state of intoxication.
A cop touched him on the
shoulder. They held a brief
conversation. Presently the
cop hailed a taxi, loaded the
inebriated citizen in it, gave
instructions to the taxi driver,
and the taxi drove away.
These incidents, occurring
within my own sight and close
together, reminded me that
have long intended to write a
little something about Cops.

Formosa Now Looms
AS Coffee Producer

FOrmoSa, the island possession Of

and former Honolulu business man is
at the head Of the project.
He Is T. Sumida, president of the
Sumida Trading Co. of Osaka. Sumida
maintains extensive interests in Hawaii

Formosa, where recently his company
leased 5000 acres Of land, with the ex-
peetation of adding much more II the
coffee venture Is successful.
His plans are first to cater to the
domestic coffee industry and then ex-
tend into the foreign field. There is
ample land suitable foF coffee-growing
to be had, and If the quality of the
cotfee Is good Formosa may become q
formidable competitor of Brazil.
The Japanese have already proVed
Themselves capable coffee growers.

are so good looking physically,
so even tempered, so courteous
and so sensible.
Doubtless there is an occa-
sional CRATER among them;
no large group of men in any
profession is free from black

I admire most Of all their
self-possession and the sound
common way in which
they go about their work.

President of the United States,

one additional paragraph. It
should provide for an appeal
from the Supreme Court to
dllY Two Justices Oh Inc peace,
The idea was that when all
the high-priced lawyers and
judges had finished their legal
wrangling, then a couple of
country chaps should render
a final decision ON the basis
of simple common sense.

ever l see a cop calmly taking

to my will, to read:

ciaD-In full realization that ang-
lers of Montana insist that more
fish be planted, the State Fish and

Under the supervision of Ken

Your persistent and intelligent

to the credit for its enactment than
anyone Senator.
Yet that does not deter me from
expressing my appreciation of the

logical address with humorous IL
Illustrations not all of which are ta-
ken directly from Holy Writ. Mr..
Gail is always welcome speaker
in Red Lodge, but if advance no.
tice is given of his appearance
here, no one ever presumes to be
a member of his audience without
wearing a corset or belt. His
address Tuesday night was up to
standard.
Mayor Paul Griever of Cody
then spoke interestingly on the
subject of cooperation and NUM-
cipal fraternity and predicted that
Red Lodge and Cody would ever
be found working together for the
common interests. They had al
ways been good neighbors he said
and they would remain so. Mr..
Griever is an able and interesting
speaker and was welcome guest
at Tuesday evenings banquet.
After a short address by Mr.
Guy Emery, Secretary of the Mon
tanans, Incorporated, in which he
predicted a new era of progress
and prosperity for this section of
the state and the northwest, the
Toastmaster introduced the guest
of honor, Mr.. O. H. P. Shelley, who
spoke Interestingly of his stay in
Washington and of the obstacles
he encountered, the friends he
made, the assistance rendered him
by such outstanding figures as
Senator Gerald P. Nye of North
Dakota; Senator James E. Wat
son, Republican Floor Leader Of
Indiana; Representative Champion
of Michigan and others. He paid
high tribute to the work done by
Representative Leavitt and Sena-
tors Walsh and Wheeler of Mon
tana, in behalf of the bill and stat
ed that he was almost overcome by
the cordial welcome rendered him
by his neighbors and friends, which
after all was the sweetest flower
he ever plucked from the rose gar
den of human kindness.
When he was introduced, the au-
dience arose in his honor thus as
surfing him that its feeling towards
him were of genuine friendliness
and complete appreciation.
After a vote of thanks was given
to Mrs. Pete CorneIio, who directed
the preparations of the splendid
banquet and the members of the
Italian Girls Victory Club who SO
gracefully and efficiently served
it, and also vote of thanks to
Jack Leeman's dance band, who
furnished the music during the
banquet and the municipal band
who also gratutiously furnished
music at Billings, Red Lodge and
other places during the two days
that preceded it, what was per-
haps the most successful banquet
in the history of Red Lodge came
to a close.
Too much credit cannot be given
to T. F. Pollard and G. A. Jeffrey
who composed the general COM
mittee on arrangements and J. P.
Plunkett, Dominic Marine, Otto
Simmons, Art Madsen and Ray
Houton who assisted them in max
ing the celebration and banquet q

I sincerely appreciate your yes
terday's letter expressing your
personal gratitude and that of the
people of Red Lodge and vicinity
for my work in connection with
the passage of legislation having
to do with the national park ap-
proach roads, and with the desig-
nation of the Red Lodge-Cooke
City highway under that Act.
It is true that [ worked consis-
tently and persistently for long
time to bring these results, but it
was a matter of team work and
act of individual effort which Sc
cured success. Your own part in
this long effort which is now be-
ing brought to such a satisfactory
conclusion has been invaluable.
Of course, those who have been
so vitality interested in this matter
back in Montana may never fully
understand or appreciate the vic
issitudes and alternating smiles
and frowns of fortune through
which we passed and which attend
ed our efforts during consider
able period of years. Your owr
persistence and skill in meeting
each situation as it arose, partic.
ularly with regard to Senate de.
velopments, constituted an abso
lutely necessary part.
1t has been a pleasure to worl
with you and | do not feel that

Ply result without expressing the
very deep appreciation | have o
the fact that large share of tbs
credit belongs to you.
