SCHOOL OF FORESTRY NURSERY
GROWN INTO LARGE ENTERPRISE
Started From Small Beginning but Now
Used by Many Montana Farmers.

State University, Missoula, JAN Is
From rather small enterprise few
years ago, the School Of Forestry nur-
sery has grown to be large business.
Professor Dorr Skeels has been lii
charge since the nursery was started
and under his direction has seen o
rapid growth. Orders are coming in
daily from farmers throughout the
state The trees are furnished to the
farmers at cost for the purpose of es-
tablishing shelter belts, woodlots and
windbreaks on the farm lands. 1t is the
policy of the nursery to replace any
stock which fails to grow.
There is enough tree stock on hand
to supply big demand for the coming
season and although the planting sea-
son does not properly begin until the
frost leaves the ground, farmers are
encouraged to send in their orders
through the county agents or the
County Extension Service at Mon
tana State college.

attending each fire. The reduction in
this department is largely explained by
the fortunate fact that there were few
er fires during the past year.
The health department shows a big
decrease in expenditures over the pre-
ceding year, total of S718.77. This is
accounted for largely by two items.
In 1929 the sum of $500 was paid for
city dump ground, which had be-
come necessity, and the administra-
ton at that time was carrying on a
vigorous campaign for the cleaning up
of sanitary and health conditions iii
the city, all of which ran into COIL
siderable expense.
The good showing continues in the
general fund in which there is a re-
duction in expenses of $46418. Streets
and alleys also show reduction of
$254.23 and the park fund expenses {.
scaling down of $15392, compared
with the preceding year. All of these
savings as indicated herewith show a
saving in the expenses Of running the
city government of $1,57162 over the
preceding year, in addition to the re-
duction in registered warrants men,
toned above.

YALE COLLEGE IN CONTROVERSY
 OVER RELIGION

Yale plunged to-day into a heat ed controversy over religion which threatened to eclipse even the issues Of football policy and the house plan.
 The religious question had been dormant for some time, except spasmodic outbursts occasioned by the threat of compulsory chapel or statements that required reading in religious history was biased against Roman Catholicism. But yesterday the Hardness Hoot, an independent undergraduate monthly, published an artcile entitled "YaIe Without Religion" in which Carry S. Rod man of New York, one of the edi- tors, asserted the college offered only one course in religion and that biased and inadequate and that if chapel were abolished tomorrow no one but the undergraduate reli- eious organization would be aware of it.
 The article drew comment to-day from the Rev Reinhold Niebuhr of Union Theological Seminary, Harry Elmer Barnes, historian; Professor John Clark Archer, instructor in the course to which Rodman objected and several student correspondents of the Yale Daily News.
 Dr Niebuhr declared: Religion Is not a live interest in the American college to-day partly because it has not been fully adjusted to the tenn per and the facts of modern culture. You have made your point there. A religion perfectly adjusted to the

temper of modern culture with its obsession with the scientific method
 would probably not have enough vi- tality to maintain it's separate exist cnce."
 Barnes described the article as ''the most intelligent and fair-mind- ed discussion of the status of mod ern religion in the world of science and criticism which I have ever
 read from the pen of an under graduate"
 In letter to the Yale News to- day, Professor Archer invited the author of the Hoot's article to re- turn to his class on full-time basis.
 He said the editor was given per mission to audit the course last term but dropped out after the first few hours. The professor took issue with Rodman's assertion that the course was biased or limited in it's treat | ment of historical origins. A communication from Frederick l urged the Hoot's writer to have ! more faith and study Fosdick and Whitehead if he would avoid "this Whirlpool of conflicting ideas and sickly compromise"
 Meanwhile, without apparent in- tent to enter the controversy, Pro- lessor William Lyon Phelps, ad- dressing a Wesleyan University
 chapel service at Middletown, de- clared religion 'is like a game of golf; 1t cannot be kept up without constant practice.'

State Leads In Use
 Of Gas For Heating
Connecticut Shows Greatest Gain in This Section in flle
 Use of Gas for House Heating

For the third consecutive year. Connecticut during 1890 made a pro- portionate greater use of manufac- tured gas for house heating than any
 other state or section of the country.
 According to statistics based upon the reports of public utilities whose
 gas sales comprise seventy per cent of all of the gas sold in Connecticut,
 there was approximately fifty per
 cent more gas used for general house
 heating in this state last year than
 in 1929. which itself was high rec ord year. Nearly billion cubic feet
 of gas were consumed for house
 heating in Connecticut during the year.
 The number of gas house heating installations also gained considerably during 1880, the increase over 1929
 being close to twenty-five per cent.
 In the increase in house heating cus- toners. however, Connecticut for the first time dropped it's leadership,
 falling behind Wisconsin and h.
 diana in the percentage of gain. Nevertheless, at the present time. Connecticut has a large number of gas heated homes than either of those states.

To End aCoueh
 In a Hurry, Mix
 This at Home

To end a stubborn cough quickly, 1t is important to soothe and heal the in- famed membranes, get rid of the germs and also to aid the system inwardly to help throw of the trouble.
 For these purposes, here is home made medicine, far better than anything You could buy at times the cost. From any druggist, get 275 ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey to fill up the pint. This takes but Q moment, and makes a remedy so effective that you will never do with out, once you have used it. Keeps per- fectly, and children like it.
 This simple remedy does three neces- sary things. First, it loosens the germ laden phlegm. Second, it soothes away the inflammation. Third. it is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. This explains why it brings such quick relief, even in the obstinate bronchial coughs which follow cold epidemics.
 Pinex is a highly concentrated com pound of genuine Norway Pine, con taining the active agent of creosote, in . refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest healing agents for severe coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles.
 Do not accept substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded
