Montana Sportsmen's
Association Makes Biz
Gain In Membership

According to B. F. Gerry, secretary
of the Montana Sportsmen's Associa-
ton, the sportsmen's clubs through
in any previous year.
The state association has 50 affili-
ated clubs at this time in comparison
with 20 clubs last year. Several other
clubs are expected to join in the near
future. In view of the fact that there
are but about IS active clubs in the
state, the membership this year is con-
sidered very good and is the largest
since the organization of the state as
ISOLATION in 1920. The SO clubs affiliated
represent about so per cent of the or
ganized sportsmen in the state.
In addition to the sportsmen's clubs,
dude ranches, hotels, business firms,
individuals, etc, are contributing to the
support of the association this year
in order that every activity necessary
for the perpetuation Of the wild life
of Montana may be carried on These
assisting memberships are in the
amounts of $500, $1,000, $500, 5000
and $4,000 for individuals or business
| firms AL members are receiving a
large attractive membership card this
year.
| One of the latest activities to be
sponsored by the association is to have
suitable parts of the present public
domain lands set aside for refugees
| for birds and big game and for pub
lie fishing, hunting and recreational
purposes A small part of the public
domain could not be set aside for a
better purpose. 1t will also help great
| w to eliminate one of the greatest
menaces that SO many states are faced
with today, namely, the lack OF pub
lie fishing, hunting and recreational
areas for not only the present but for
future generations.
Mr.. Gerry stated that it will require
more than a year to complete the
necessary surveys and also that the
support of the entire citizenry of the
state will be necessary in getting such
areas set aside This is one of the great
est activities ever sponsored by a
sportsmen's association in any state
! for the benefit of all Of the people for
all time to come.
An appeal is being made by the as
ISOLATION not only to the sportsmen
but to everybody in the state to help
prevent forest fires. Many forest fires
are started each year by the careless
ness of fishermen and campers. It is
hoped that every sportsman and per-
son entering the forests will cooperate
to the fullest extent in helping to pre-
vent such fires and especially at this
time when the fire danger is so great
! The people of Montana are very fort
. innate in having over 100000 acres
| of national forests that are used as 6
public recreational area. In addition
, about so per cent of our big game in
) habit the national forests during SOME
: part of the year and much of the bes
r fishing is to be found in streams tina
, originate in or run through these for
t ests. Green forests mean food and GOV.
! err for fish and game. Burned forest
: have no food or refuge for game
: streams run dry and contain no foe
for fish

Move To Adjourn

run the country with quasi dicta-
torial powers. empowered by par
liarent to put through its econ
omy measures by orders-in council
without The sanction of parliament.
The powers granted tG the gov
ernment are only temporary. When
parliament adjourned for the sum
mer, the date for resuming sittings
was set for October 20 with pro-
vision that a special session could
be called in the interim. II was te-
lieved probable the govern ient
would set the same date for reS,lm-
ing regular sittiugs.
Macdonald told a questioner he
hoped to announce on October I
when the house would reaSsemble.
The governments decision
left much unsettled, but showed
that Macdonald desired TO heed
for the moment the opposition
of 4 ma jority of the balance of
power" Liberals to an early gen.
eral election on the question of
general tariff for revenue.
The disorders in London had
quieted down by midafternoon. The
west end shopping district, where
the greatest demonstration occurred,
was again thronged with women
shoppers, while mounted and foot
police idled at the corners.
Police made numerous arrests, in
Guiding women who threw bricks
through shop windows. The dam-
age was not great.
Question Unsettled
Macdonald announcement that
the house would adjourn instead Of
being prorogued, left politicians still
puzzled over the general election
situation. If he had announced
that parliament would be prorogued,
i. e. the session terminated, 1t
would almost inevitably have meant
a general election but the use Of
the word adjourn left the question
open and does not necessarily pre-
clude a general election if the gov
ernment decides some time soon to
hold one.
IS a matter of fact, most dis
solutions are announced during
adjournment, as when a govern
ment is defeated, the house i'm
mediately adjOurns to give the
government an opportunity to
consider its position and consult
the king.
Actual announcement of dissolu-
ton is not made by the premier but
by the king. In this case, however,
| adjournment is not because of a de-
| feat of the government but because
the work for which the special ses-
sion has been called has been COM
pleted.
MacDonald's statement was in re-
sponse to question by Arthur Hen
derson, Labor leader, asking wheth-
er the government intended to ero-
rogue or adjourn the house. Hen
derson apparently hoped to lead the
premier into amplifying and reveal
ing the governments attitude to-
wards dissolution and a general
election, but Macdonald confined his
answer strictly to the limits of the
question.

ALL BUSINESS
FIRMS HERE TO
WELCOME FALL

Every firm. store and industry in
El Centro is planning to be repre-
sented in the industrial parade
which will mark the beginning OF
the fall opening celebration in FL
Centro Friday and Saturday, Octo-
Der and 10.
Although floats and elaborate de-
corations will not be necessary TO

houses are planning to have BAN
ners placed on their service cars
and it is believed that the public

such cars which it takes to serve
the needs of El Centre.
All merchants are also cooperat-
ing on the merchandise tickets TO
be given to every adult visitor in the
stores during the week preceding,
and up to o'clock Saturday night,

visitors who call on that night to
view the new merchandise. New
fall merchandise will be the fea-
tured attraction in all Ell Centro
stores and the public is invited to
visit every shop in the city to see
new styles which have shown de-
cided change in the past few months
in all lines of business.
There will be entertainment from
7 O'Clock Friday evening, when the
industrial parade, augmented by the
American Legion drum and bugle
corps and the city band, opens the
celebration, until 9 o'clock Saturday

Laval laid great stress on the fact
that France underwent her rapid
period OF depression in 1926 when
the franc fell in the world exchange
markets TO a point where so and
more francs were BID for dollar.
Poincare, recalled to office and Civ
en- almost dictatorial powers, set
about balancing the budget by the
creation of billions of francs of new
taxes and cutting state expenses by
33 per cent. As a result, he was
able 10 stabilize the franc two years
later.
Laval pointed out that after that
drastic financial operation which
meant heavy personal sacrifice 10
every French family, the nation fl
nancially was in excellent health
AS a result, when the world depres-
sion started France felt nothing and
the only slackening Of trade today
