The following notice about our Eu-
reka Camp Fire Group appeared in
the January issue of "Everygirls, :
Camp Fire Magazine.
Eureka, Montana, is the hunting
ground of a tribe called the Tami,
meaning to busy ones self. They've
been busy ever since they can remem-
Der. Last fall they came into being
and now have 20 members. The first
thing they did was to sponsor NOV
ing picture show and earn money with
which to buy their ceremonial gowns.
Then they sold popcorn, homemade
candy and pencils with the tribal name
on them. AS each holiday came along
they did something appropriate and
helpful, from singing Christmas carols
to selling American Legion peoples and
having an Easter egg hunt in the city
park for children. AT present they are
turning to the finer art of music
making. In fact they are organizing
a Camp Fire glee club. 1t is now time
for them to sponsor sister group.

On Arril 81, 1898, the Libby News,
4 modest four-page publication, was
born. the first newspaper to appear
il what was then the rough little
mining camp" of Libby. Frank M.
Leonard, pioneer newspaper man of
Butte, and Leo H. Faust, another vet
eran journalist were the publishers OF
this pioneer weekly.
For three years, this paper played a
prominent part in the journalism of
Flathead county, of which Libby at
that time was part Then, on April
Is, 1901, on the papers editorial page,
was carried the announcement that the
Libby News was to be temporarily
suspended. Carrying on in rather op-
timistic vein, however, it added that
publication doubtless would be re-
surned in the near future. A few weeks
later, May 80, there appeared another
issue, bearing another announcement
entitled Apologize" In this Mr..
Leonard declared that SO many and SO
cordial had been the words of praise
for his paper that "the temptation to
resurrection is very great" He made
it clear, however, that the issue was
merely sporadic In his own words, ut

time and the inclination and the neces-
sary money to get it out
The files fail to reveal any futher
issues of the Libby News, however.

of which Mr.. Leonard had many, were
the main factor for the papers un-

However, many astronomers have

some form.
Mars Not "COld."
The latest to express this view is Leon
Campbell, astronomical observer at
Harvard University.
'Our work" DR.. Campbell said,
"proyes that Mars is not a cold planet
in the sense that 1t has no life. At
mosphereS as determined on Mars are
found to be hvable."
Of the nine larger planetary bodies,
four-Mercury, Venus, the Earth and
Mars-are the closest TO the sun and

conferred on them.
The outer planetS-Jupiter Saturn,
Uranus and Neptune--are much larger
than the earth, move In larger circles
are much less dense and are believed
to be OF considerable higher tempera-
ture. Pluto, the outermost planet and
the great astronomical discovery of last
year, paradoxically again approximates

clouds and atmosphere apparently shut
