we often receive many fine pro-
grams in our own homes. Three
large U. S. war vessels were here
for a short time for target practice

We visited the DR.. Northrup fam
lily at Clearwater, and found them
cozily located and enjoying the sun
shine, with the doctor steadily i'm
proving, and from them learned
that Mr.. and Mrs Harry Cheadle
were in st. Petersburg, and having
last met them at Lakeside. O., we
were most glad to meet them and
talk over home affairs. as Mr. Chea-
die was formerly Morgan county
boy

items of interest in and around the

cross the wonderful Candy bridge,
six miles long, across Tampa bay,
and start north by easy stages On
reaching Atlanta, Ga, we find Ar
thur Balding, who accompanied US
here and who is again ready and
willing to cast his lot with us for
the remainder of the return trip
However he and his aunt insist that
we see some places of interest in
and near that city and accompany
us first to Stone mountain where the
Confederate memorial is being
chiseled in the solid granite; this is
the largest solid stone in the world,
one mile from base to summit, and
well worth driving to see Balding
visited the top Of the mountain, but
we decided to remain at the base
and be content with the view of its
grandeur.
We next visited the Cyclorama in
Grants park in the city. This
painting portrays the battle of At
lanta and is the largest painting in
the world, and shows the exact po-
sition of Sherman's army as he in
tercepted the line of supplies for
the Confederate army: the broken
and twisted rails and the old loco
motive engine, the Texas tell
the story only too we'll Our guide
and lecturer stated that from All
lanta to Chattanooga was all battle
ground
We were much disappointed upon
reaching Chattanooga as we exper-
fenced our first rainy day while
travelling; however we drove many
miles in the drenching rain, over
the battle fields Of Chickamauga,
Orchards Knob, and Missionary
Ridge. and upon reaching the top of
Lookout mountain. we found the
beautiful views we had seen here
before were obscured by clouds and
mist, though We did catch an oc-
casional glimpse OF the Tennessee
river. While a sight of this sort OBJ

HELPING THE VETERANS
Great Falls Tribune)

Letters to The Tribune from World van veterans indicate
that some of them are not in accord with our views on the sub
ject of immediate conversion of their endowment insurance in
to cash payments. A few days ago we suggested that such con
version would be unsound public policy, for it would mean Writ
ualy a dissipation of assets which the veterans would need
badly later in life.
The tenor of the letters received is that some veterans, at
least, need the money as badly now as they could possibly lat
er; that they owe money and are being bounded by bill collect
ors, and that unemployment conditions are such that they are
unable to find work with which to pay either their debts or their
current living expenses.
1t is pointed out by the veterans, too, that recently the gov
eminent related income taxes to a number of wealthy people,
some OF whom, is it alleged, were profteers during the war
when those now veterans were offering their lives to their
country for the modest sum of $50 a month.
The Tribune has no defense, and will attempt none, for the
return of income taxes, other than if income tax payers, regard
less of their status, were overcharged by the government they
were entitled to a rebate. Neither do we defend the stand If
Secretary Mellon, who argues that the issuance of $3427, OO, 900
in government bonds in order to pay the veterans off would
completely demoralize the bond market Our position in this
matter is based on what we believe to be the welfare of the
veterans themselves.
There is no denying the fact that many veterans are in
need. They have not been immune to the economic ills which
nave afflicted SO many others of their countrymen. But those
permanently disabled in the service are receiving compensation
and disqualification, and the question is whether the able-bodied
exempt.
The veterans at the time of their enlistment were a picked
group, representing the cream of the countrs4s manhood and
strength. They have had ample time to adjust themselves TO
peacetime pursuits, and today they doubtless stand somewhat
above the average of the rest of the male population of the
same age as regards physical condition and earning power.
Nevertheless, many are in want from conditions beyond
their control. They have the privilege Of borrowing on their
compensation certificates to meet the temporary emergency.
But to encourage all the veterans to take their insurance money
now and spend it on consumption-and that would be the effect
the country at large.
We believe that the average ex-service man, if he honestly
endeavors to work out his present problem, can do SO as well
as any other man of his own age and circumstances are doing.
savings in the bank and as life insurance for the protection of
his dependents. And we believe further that, though the pres
ent may seem dark to him, the time is coming when he will be
grateful that the money was saved for greater service to him
self and those near and dear to him.

NONPARTISAN DISTRICT JUDGES
(FrOm Great Falls Tribune)

Senator Shelver OF Park county has again introduced
measure in the state assembly providing for the election Of
district judges by nonpartisan ballot. Two years ago he sue
the last-minute shuttle of the lower house, 1t is to be hoped
however, that in this session it will receive early action as well
as the serious consideration to which it is entitled.
Needless to say, its adoption would have a beneficial eff
feet. Partisanship has no place in American judicial practice
While it is not believed that any district judge in Montana al
lows partisan considerations to influence his opinions and rul
ings, it cannot be denied that partisan factors enter into his
election under our present law. Before a lawyer can attain a
position on the bench he must identify himself with one or the
other of the two major political parties and submit his candi
dacy to the people as that of a party man.
In districts where one party has much greater strength than
than the other, it is possible for a man of inferior ability to de-
voters to put party loyalty ahead of an honest consideration o.
a candidates qualifications.
1t often happens, too, that a lawyer will identify himself
with a political party, not because he believes in it's principles
but because it is the dominant group and he foresees more
rapid advancement by reason of his utilization with it. Obvious
ly, this does not have a wholesome influence on the body polite,
for a lawyer, though of mediocre ability, has some standing in
his community and considerable prestige in public discussions
When this influence is used for the benefit of a party already
dominant. it has a tendency to throw things out of balance, es-
peciany if the lawyers publicly acknowledged convictions are
not what he really believes.
Election of judges on a nonpartisan ballot would eliminate
questionably attract to the bench many lawyers particularly
well qualified who hesitate to become candidates because they
have no desire to become involved in partisan campaigns.

Fruit Called Best
Tonic for Winter

why use bottled tonic when
fruit is Natures best known tonic
and stimulant to a tagging appe-
tite and is SO easy to take?" asks
Ruth Dawson, nutrition specialist
of the North Dakota Agricultural
college extension service.
Fruits bring to us in the most
palatable form such health essen
tials as minerals, vitamins and
natural fruit sugars and acids. Two
good servings of fruit should be
provided each member of the fam
lily every day." she says.
But even though fresh fruits in
suitable variety are not always
readily available at this time of
the year, it is not necessary to do
without these healthful foods. Use
dried fruits to take the place of
fresh fruits, for they give endless
variety, add an extra touch of
goodness to everyday foods, help
to balance the diet and are econo-
mical.
Dried fruits such as figs, rails
ms, prunes, peaches, apricots, aps
pies and pears are wonderful
sources of essential minerals, in
Guiding iron and copper, which our
foods must contain for the proper
building of the red cells of the
blood. Dried fruits are quick
sources of energy because they
contain sugar which a readily
be absorbed by the blood stream.
"The vitamins which we hear SO
much about are present in dried
and this makes it easier for
housewives to balance their me-
nus. 1t is known that prunes cou-
tain vitamin A; raisins, prunes,
peaches and apples contain vita
min B, and apples and peaches
vitamin G.. Vitamins are
needed in the body to build resis-
lance against colds and other dis
eases.

BANK
ROBBERY CASE
F. w. BLECK, KNOWN HERE,
WITH SLAIN SHERIFF AT
TIME OF SHOOTING

Helena, Mont, Feb. 4,-(UP)-
A determination Of the facts i
connection with the Harrison Stat
Bank robbery and the Staying o
Sheriff Frank Metzel will be lind
cd down by the attorney general
| office in the near future.
Assistant Attorney General Tor
rance Macdonald, charged witt
the investigation demanded in {
resolution by the Montana Asso
citation of Sheriffs and Police Of
frees, returned to Helena Satur
day after hearings at Virginia
City, Butte and Harrison.
Chief of the facts developed at
the numerous hearings follow:
/. The insistence Of a young
man in love on seeing his sweet
heart despite parental advice led
to the mistaken chase which end
ed in the sheriff's Staying.
2. The sheriff was killed acct
dentally by Clarence Bell, a ranch
er and lifelong friend of Metzel's,
when he mistook the sheriff for a
bandit.
3. The mystery and secrecy
which colored the Staying was the
direct result OF the failure of per-
sons concerned to talk to other
than accredited officials. Their
failure to tell the truth to news
papermen at the time of the Stay
ing led to many twisted stories IF
the affair.
That much and no more, Mac
Donald revealed; the rest of his
conclusions-the really important
ones-will be made after he has
reviewed the voluminous testi-
gathered in the hearings.
The son of Sam Young wanted
to see his girl on the night Of the
robbery, but his mother urged him
to stay at home as the robbery
was expected. But love will out,
and young Young went calling.
On the way home Young and IA
companion were challenged by the
sheriff and fled, thinking they had
been accosted by the bandits.
They sought refuge in Bells home
Informing Bell that the bandits
were after them.
Naturally, Bell armed himself.
and went outside to look around.
The sheriff and Fred w. Block,
Virginia City banker. approached.
The moment was tense. A twig
snapped. There was an exchange
gunfire and Metzel was killed.
The mystery angle grew steadi-
y when authorities told newspa-
,ermen that Metzel had been kill
ID by bandits, later to come for
ward with the story that he had
,een killed by Bell.
The robbers. for whom search
las extended to Southern C%aliforn-
escaped with more than $4,000
f the banks money.
Ralph Harrington. who was a
member of the robbers party and
.lso a confidant of the bank, has
one to Missouri, where he eyades
charge of petty larceny pending
n Butte courts.

WHY WE HAVE BUSINESS DEPREssloNs!
(FrOm utomoti JOurnaU

TUT ULOuOLI JOuIHdII
Why we have hard times recurrenty is perfectly clear.
A long period Of good times leads to extravaganza, indf-
ference, laziness, discourtesy, conceit, and shiftlessness. We
are all victims of the softenng influence of ease. We work
less and play more. We save less and spend more. We quit
work early and stay up late. The quality of workmanship and
the volume of output are lowered. Everybody is afflicted.
Eventually a crisis is reached. The biggest fools are the
first to be hit. Their thinlylmargined stocks and real estate
are sold for what they will bring. Optimistic borrowers are
asked to pay their loans to unwise lenders. Feverish specula-
ton and expenditure suddenly stop
Everyone is compelled to realize that life is real and earnest.
Fortunately, the common sense that is pounded into US by
the pain Of hard times is worth the loss of income and the re-
adjustment that we are compelled to endure. In this period we
re-appraise the assets that we have salvaged. We reflect that
we have u health and friends. Most Of us have a home and
a fob. we modify our desires so that they conform to realities
We begin to find happiness and self-expression in humble things
