He Helps Him Out

ne lSIPS iIiIIOON
The young man turned out
to be a chap who had just
received official permission to
practice law. The only trouble
with the situation now was that
he had nothing with which to
practice.
During the course of the
evening, he outlined his entire
problem to the publicity man.
"I've worked very hard to
become a lawyer" he asserted,
land it's been a tough struggle.
My parents are very poor and
I've always had to support my
self while I was going to school.
Last year, while I was clerking.
I earned next to nothing. And
now that I'm finally an attor-
ney, I find it harder than ever
to get going.
It know I'm still a very
young man and that I can't eX-
pect very much in the begin
ming. But look at my situation.
I have a little cubby-hole for
an office and I can't even af-
ford to buy the stationery that
will permit me to write letter.
It's pretty tough
Because of his nature-and
perhaps those four drinks Of

he chirped. "I really do. I

you're attempting to bring out.
And I'd like very much to help
you.

"T can't send you any clients,
but I can help you out on that
stationery angle. You go over
to my printer tomorrow morn
ing and tell him I sent you.
Here's the address. You order
whatever you need and charge
1t to me. And don't be to
cheap on yourself"
The lawyer Stammered his
gratitude.
"Oh, that's all right" cried
the publicity man. Forget
about it. I'm only too tickled
to help out in my small way.
And if I IAN dig up any clients
for you, you can bet your life
I'll send them over"

attorney ordered his station

Tropical Hurricanes Start Their Seasons Soon
 SetOn by Doldrums, Enrth Spin and Humidity

NETWORK, Aug. 18.-T'he tro- pical hurricanes, whose 1882 sea- son is about to begin, are pro- ducts of the doldrums, earth rota- ton and humidity.
 These three are fixed factors, They operate over an area of half an ocean, 10 to IS degrees north of the equator. Toward the end of the summer they build up a fo- GUS south of the Cape Verde Is- lands, near the African coast, and there most of the storms start.
 The workings of these storm sources are explained by Charles L. Mitchell, chief forecaster of the United States Weather Bu- reau. t
 The doldrums lies north of the equator, between the wind systems of the northern and southern hem ispheies. North of them are the northeast trades, blowing steadily toward the southwest.
 South of them the southeast trades come up the south Atlantic and spill over across the equator, getting out of their proper hem isphere. With the advance of summer the doldrums move north ward, and these misplaced trades follow They slip over so far into the northern hemisphere that fi- nally the earth's rotation causes them to bend backward and blow toward Africa, thus becoming southwest winds.
 So the doldrums move up into hurricane position with winds on their northern edges blowing just the opposite from those bordering them on the south. This is one factor tending to set up hurri- cane vhirl.
 So long as the doldrums remain near the equator there is insuf- ficient deflection in the earth's rotation to set up a vortex But in their late summer position the vortex forming forces of rota- ttion can act .--izss. -ts.esi , This happens when the vast po- tential forces of high humidity are added to the doldrums. Exact |ly how the humidity operates is not easily explained. But the facts are that the humidity in the belt of doldrums is highest in August and September, the peak hurricane months.
 Hurricanes occasionally occur in July or even in June when the doldrums are on march toward their late summer positions.
 Ony in, one other area in the western hemisphere except in rare instances do. these tropical cy- clones sometimes originate. This

 Even that year, his first in the majors, his season average was .330. His all-time major league average is about $40.
 Starred at FulIback
 At the University of Alabama, where Stephenson was known as .the best fullback in the South" when he starred on the gridiron in TT, IS and 19, he played shortstop on the baseball team, switching to second base in his early days in the majors, later becoming an out field star.
 But for an injury Stevie probably could boast a record of 12 years in the majors without a day in the minors, but an injury in 1925 sent him from Cleveland to Kansas City.
 Later that year Cleveland sent him to Indianapolis, but his heavy slugging made his term there short. Early in the 1926 season he was traded to the Cubs, and he's been a hero at Wrigley Field ever since

Libby Pioneer
Relives Early
Days Of Town
Lee Green, Libby Resident Of the
Nineties, Talks About Pioneer
Days Here.

Memories of nearly forty years ago
were revived last week, when Lee
Green, pioneer of Libby and now a
resident in the Clark's Fork district,
renewed old friendships here.
Mr. Green lived in Libby at ill.,
time when Mineral avenue was put a
few blocks in length and merged into
trail through dense woods south
of the town. In 1896 he erected the
log house which still stands ON the
corner opposite the c and H. Service
Station, and few years later built
the home now occupied by James H.
Harris.
Although time has wrought many
changes in the appearance ofthe town,
Mr. Green remarked that there were
practically no differences in the house
in which Chief of Police Green now
resides. In fact, so durable were the
materials which went into its construc-
ton, the original shakes still remain
in the roof He did, however, note the
presence Of several tall trees which
have grown up in the past three de-
cades, which he says were not there
in those days.

State Fire
Losses Show
Gain In 1881
Interesting Data Is Given in
Pamphlet of State Fire
Marshal.
MAKES APPEAL
FOR REDUCTION

The number Of fires in Montana in
creased from 572 in 1880 to 1871 in
1881, according to figures released by
State Fire Marshal William G.. Brooks
in the II and 18th annual reports for
the years 1880 and 1881. Fire losses for
1880 were S1.276,572.94, while losses in
volved for 1881 amounted to $685.
502.O5.
The figures for 1881 include 166 au-
tomobile fires which were reported
during that year. Few farm fires were
reported for 1880, according to MIR.
Brooks, due to the difficulty in OBJ
tanning reports from outlying districts
In 1881, with the cooperation of the
Fire Companies Adjustment Bureau,
many reports from outlying regions
were sent in to the marshall, which ac-
counts for the large fire increase In
1881 over the preceding year. Fire
loss figures published by the National
Board of Fire Underwriters indicate
that losses in the United States for
1881 amounted to $452,017 .02600

warrants were paid off. Tuesday morning we
went to the court house and Mr.. Klenck told
us the county now has on hand SAP, 58O.49 in

due next November and at that time this

and the bonds retired. That will leave the
county then owing the small sum of $10,420.00.
which will be the sum total of its indebted

which there will be cash on hand to take them
up when presented for payment. In other
words, after the next November payment Lin
coin county's Indebtedness will have been re-

pay all interest that will be owing on thAse
bonds up to the time that they come due =
year hence. That means that in the next tax
levy it will not be necessary to levy anything
for bond interest fund
Also with the Indebtedness reduced to the

also be very light. That is why the taxpayers
