PUBLIC RECEPTION HON0RNG 0. HP
SHELLEY TO BE HELD ON HIS RETURN
TO RED LODGE FROM WASHINGTON
MAYOR WILL PROCLAIM A HOLIDAY

As an evidence in some measure
of its appreciation of the splendid
and effective efforts put forth by
O. H. P. Shelley in behalf of this
community; because of his advo-
cacy of and untiring efforts fer
the passage of the Red Lodge
Cooke City road bill through Con-
gress, a community reception will
be rendered him upon his return
from Washington. It is planned
to hold a public celebration in this
city, followed by a banquet in the
evening, at which Mr.. Shelley will
be the guest of honor. Only ten
tative arrangements have been
made as yet and announcements
will follow as to the date and ma
ture of the celebration to be held.
At the informal meeting held
Monday, Mayor E. w. Allen ap-
pointed committee to have gen
eral charge of the arrangements
for the celebration and the recep-
tion of Mr.. Shelley, as follows:
Thomas F. Pollard, Chairman;
J. P. Plunkett, Dominic Marino,
Jr., G. A. Jeffery, O. J. Simmons,
A. e. Madsen and Ray Houtonen.
The reception ahd celebration
will be community affair. Invi-
tations will be extended to the var
lous towns of the county as we'll
as to Billings and it is expected
that large delegations from out
side of Red Lodge will be in at
tendance. In stating that he
would declare holiday Mayor Al
len said that it was his wish that
the people of the entire county as
well as of the Midland Empire will
join with Red Lodge in honoring
Mr.. Shelley who has done so much
effective work for the passage of
bill to construct a highway that
will not only relieve unemployment
but be permanent benefit to this
section of the state.
During the six years that the
Red Lodge-Cooke City road bill
has been before the congress Of
the United States, it's progress
has been followed by the people of
the community with such inter
est that the tribute to Mr.. Shelley
for his zeal in behalf of it is one
in which everyone can freely join.
His efforts in that behalf have
received much favorable editorial
comment by the leading papers of
the state. Montana's senators and
representatives in congress have
commended him for the effective
work he did from the inception of
the movement to it's final consul
With the announcement of the
date when the celebration is to be
held, other committees will be ap-
pointed to assist the general ar
rangement committee in making
the holiday red-letter day in the

Treat Criminals Kindly
Mussolini's Wisdom
A Billionth of an Inch
Two Fighting Machines

Clarence Darrow. good lawyer,
kind-hearted, exaggerates a little
when he says Of criminals:
"The public likes to see them
tortured, and guards are anxious
to give the public what it wants."
That is not accurate. Criminals
sometimes torture their victims.
The general public does not like
torture.
Prisoners today have baseball
games, vaudeville shows, radios,
and new prisons are planned with
separate rooms, decent beds.
Prisoners should be treated hui
namely, but not made to feel that
criminal is some one to be ad-
mired. That is overriding it.

the uselessness of marching troops

called ''hedge-hoppers," will carry
five machine guns, to spray"
marching soldiers with bullets,
while flying fifty feet above ground.
In addition to machine guns each

Mussolini talks common sense on
the wheat question, asking why the
world demands d cut in the wheat
acreage when in the world there
are all too many people poverty
stricken and grievously distressed"
The Italian ruler says that the
trouble with wheat comes not from
overproduetion, but from undereon-
sumption.
The nations should listen to him,
and find a way to distribute among
the earth's 1,600,000,0O0 the grain
produced by farmers, and at a
price profitable to the farmers.

900 years to cross from one side to

Professor Compton, winner of
the Nobel prize in physics, shows
the atoms in an electron, separated
from each other by one-billonth OF
an inch, and, in proportion to their
size, as far apart as the earth and
the sun. Until lately it was
thought that nothing smaller than
the atom could exist. Now we
know that it is a little solar system
with a proton, or nucleus IN the
center, like our sun, and electrons
revolving around it, like planets.

Are you taking golf lessons? Pay
ing some professional to tell you
what to do with your head, arms,
wrists, feet, knees, eyes and club?
Learn that you may have to take
those lessons all over again. Slow
motion movies" of the great Bobby
Jones and the beautiful Joyce
Wethered in action show that these
great golfers do not "break their
wrists on the back swing" until
very late in the swing. And Jones
the Great hesitates at the top of
his swing, shifts his body and gets
planted before he brings the club
head down.
Theory and practice are far
apart in golf and in all education.
'fIngratitude, thou marble-heart
fiend," poor Mr.. Gandhi of India
knows all about you now. He
worked, slayed, starved in prison,
endured days of silence, which must
be hard for a man full of ideas,
risked his life a thousand times,
gladly.
Then he arranges a truce with
the British government, the British
hanged three Hindus, and some Of
Gandhi's followers tried to kill him.
Now he will quit, if the Indian
congress does not take his advice.
He is disgusted to see Hindus
and Mohammedans numbering each
other in India, the British looking
on, careful not to smile.
Gandhi will learn what others
learned long ago, since and before
the days of the Gracchi-that it is
noble to try to help people, but usu-
ally does not pay.
