Old Scottish Term

The term money musk is Il derived
spelling of "mony musk" which is
the name of an old Scottish dance
known as the Strathspey, which is
believed to have originated during
the Eighteenth century in the val
ley or strath Of the Spey. "Mony
musk" probably came from the town
Of that name in Scotland. There are
many early Scotch tunes called after
towns or places. In Scotch ''mony"
means many and occasionally means
great. MUSK" means confused
heap or a term which is synonymous
with our modern word for fog. 1t Is
very possible that the town is named
because of the fogs appearing there.
The term "mOney musk" as now
used refers to the old dance, Which
Is similar to the Virginia reel
Washington Star.

Just Hamlet

1t seems that Douglas Fairbanks
Jr., whose sense of humor Is adj
mirably developed, burst in ON q
conference Of story writer's and
plot contrivers at the First National
studios with the demand that they
listen to a plot he had just thought
up. He outlined 1t in detail, with.
out dates, however, and, one and
all, the assembled craftsmen dis
missed 1t. saying that it was too
episode and. in short. no good.
Douglas departed with grin. but
turned as he went out the door to
say: "Well, some one thought II
was good. The story I've just told
you. gentlemen. is the plot OF Ham
let. '"-I5oston Herald.

GEORGE WASHINGTON
ON FARM PROBLEMS
Urged Scientific Methods
of Cultivation.

I'm year in which Americans ev-
hundredth anniversary of George
Washington's birth, it is well to re-
member that in no other field of life
did the Father Of His Country show
more prophetic insight into that
country's problems than in the field
of agriculture and soil conservation, ="
said Stringfellow Barr, editor of the
Virginia Quarterly Review, in adj
dressing the eighth annual conven-
ton of the National Fertilizer asso-
citation. The address followed the
annual dinner. Professor Barr con
tinued, writing in 1901 to Arthur
Young, perhaps the most famous
scientific agriculturist of his day,
Washington observed: The aim of
the farmers in this country Gf they
can be called farmers) is, not to
make the most they can from the
land, which is or has been cheap,
but the most of the labor, which is
dear; the consequence of which has
been much ground has been scratched
over and none cultivated or improved
as it ought to have been: whereas,
farmer in England, where land is
dear and labor cheap. finds it his
interest to improve and cultivate
highly, that he may reap large
crops from a small quantity of
ground
Nobody, either before or since
Washington penned that remark, has
ever stated more clearly and plainly
the problem of American agricul
ture," said Professor Barr. "Wash
ington, who saw so many of his
country's problems more clearly than
others, saw that the greatest of all
Americas industries had been car
ried or heeAlessly and wastefully
He saw the catch in the one crop sys.
TEN, a system. that haunts us still.
He saw that fertility is farmers
capital, and that he cannot squander
his capital with impunity any more
than other enterprises. He saw that
most American farmers were not
'cultivating' their land but mining it.
He saw the menace of erosion and
the consequent necessity for refor
estation. He saw the peculiar diff
culties of the farmers labor problem
"He was a hard-headed practical
farmer, who kept his accounts
straight and watched every penny
yet he never forgot that the aim of
life is not pennies, except in so far
as they support healthy and occupied
human beings. He demanded not
only to make living; he wanted to
leave his land more fertile than he
found it. And he insisted not only
on showing profits; he insisted also
on leading an urbane and civilized
existence. In short, he was not con
tent to cultivate his land; he strove
to cultivate himself. For he was a
perfect example of a fine breed the
land of Virginia produced in the |
Eighteenth century-the gentleman
farmers

MAKES
BID TO REDUCE L
UNNECESSARY COSTS

"These hard times turn the at
tention of the farmers, workers,
merchants, and everybody else to
the question of how much govern
ment we can afford. The state is
in debt more than 81, 100000 and I
have een a statement that the
number of delinquent tax payers
in fifty counties reaches the rather
startling figure of $4,000. Mon
tana must economic in govern
ment of all kind. Other states in
the northwest are doing this.
Utah, with a population of 1000
compared to Montana's 537, 900
feels that it has too much govern
ment altho it has but PIP tax levy
ing governments, city town and
school, against Montana's 1888,
and its people are agitating for a
reduction in the number.
Every farmer, every business
man, every enterprise in Montana
has re duced overhead costs. The
state government has not done
this. If elected, | will
go into every item of expense and
cut from the payroll all activities
and services that are not vital to
a government for half a million
people"
In these ringing words. Lieuten-
ant Governor Frank A. Hazel
baker seeks the Republican nomin-
alton for governor.
Thirty-five years ago Frank
Hazelbaker came to Montana from
Kansas and located at Dillon and
has been a resident of B~eaverhead
county ever since. He was one of
the earliest students to enroll in
the State Normal school in Dillon.
In 1904 he was elected clerk of the
district court of Beaverhead coun-
ty, and that same year he was
made secretary of the Republican
state convention in that capacity
until the advent of the primary ell
ection. He served three terms as
secretary of the state central COM
mittee of the party and as its
chairman, one term.
In 1915 he promoted and took
charge of the Montana exhibits at
the Panama. Pacific international
Exposition at San Francisco and
the past several years has
actively assisted in Montana's ag-
ricultural representation at the In
ternational Hay and Grain show
at Chicago at which this state has
attracted nationwide attention by
its remarkable prize winnings.
In 1920 Mr. Hazelbaker was ell
ected state senator for Beaverhead
county and in 1924 reelected, with
out opposition. In 1928 he was
promoted by popular vote to the
office of lieutenant govern

PUBLIC DEBT LOWER
IN THIS STATE SAYS
EQUALIZATION BOARD

Helena. June 25-(AP)-Mon-
tsna public indebtedness represent
ing obligations of state, counties,
school districts, cities and towns,
has been reduced more than &c.
100000, almost 2,0O0,OO0 a year
since 1923, the board of equaliza-
ton finds.
Public indebtedness, exclusive
of drainage and irrigation districts,
and special Improvements in cities
and towns was more than $751;
244 900 on June 80, 1929" says
James H. Stewart, chairman of
the state board. 'fBy June 80,
1881, this indebtedness had been
reduced to less than SAL ,244 900,
or almost $4,000, 900 a year. While
the federal government at Wash
ington had been going into debt
at the rate of about $1,000, 900 a
day, all divisions of government in
Montana were reducing public OBJ
legations mor than $1,000 a day.
This rate of reduction has con-
tinued turnout the depression. I
am not sure that this is wise.
'1n times of depression it might
be wise to postpone debt reduc-
ton. In any event the balance
sheet covering public obligations
is certainly not discouraging.
Bonded state Indebtedness in
1924 was $4,946,OO0 and today s4,-
100000. There has been a slight
increase in other state indebted
ness.
Counties have reduced their
net Indebtedness $12, 1O0,0 900 since
1928.
School districts have reduced
net Indebtedness $780, 900 since
1923.
"Cities and towns have reduced
net Indebtedness $1,875, 900 since
1923.
Taken in connection with a re-
duction of s1,5 900 in all prop
erty tax levies in Montana between
1880 and 1891 such a showing can
not be discouraging."

ITALY TO TURN CONQUERED
LANDS INTO FARM COLONY

Rome July 1-(AP)-Italy is
seeking a new outlet in northern

colonizing land seized from rebel
tribes in C~irenaica, Libya, during

been given exclusive rights to car

offer it to peasant families on easy
terms.
