INDUSTRY CHEERED
Small Net Profit for First
Four Months Taken as
Hopeful Sign.

CHICAGO, May 26-Encouraged by
the cash registers behavior up to May
/, the mems apparel industry has
hopes Of ringing up net profit for
the whole year of 1894.
A small net profit for the first
four months Of the year, plus a sub
stantial increase in volume is re-
ported for the industry by the Ma
tional Association Of Retail Clothiers
and Furnishers.
In q canvass by the associations s
Business Committee, II per cent Of the
reports coming from all sections in
dicate a net profit for late Winter
and early Spring months.
Upturn Is Sharp.
In most cases volume was found
appreciahly below the level for 1926
or 1929, but an average increase of
"a per cent was reported for April
over the same month of 1888. Less
than Is per cent of the stores reported
decreases for April.
Previous monthly reports have
shown sharp increases in volume,
but not until now has the committee
been able to discover evidence Of net
profits, however small.
Rising prices, infiationary meas
ures, and the Governments extension
Of credit naturally brought with them
greater volume" says Allen Sinshei-
mer. executive director Of the associa-
ton. "But greater volume often means
losses for the merchant instead OF
profit.
This new report of our Business
Committee with its indication Of o
net profit for 1894 is the most en-
couraging sign We have had since 1880.
Run Into Difficulties.
"And the last four months have
by no means been easy sailing. Our
members have had to battle against
excessive taxation and to cope with
expense increases brought about by
the N. r. A. 1t is for that reason we
feel particularly encouraged over the
showing thus far made"
The survey, however, shows that
public income has not increased as
rapidly as prices Of certain items of
merchandise. This has not curbed
buying, it was found, but instead Las
led the public to purchase lower grades
Of merchandise In certain instances.

Federal recognition of the continu-

ties.
The reduced freight rates which were
originally for the period ending early

The big beasts circled around Gran

store across the street, rushed over,
and came back with a bucket of water
and all the hard peppermints they had

"Open!" he commanded, Showing

it, then followed with a double handful
Of peppermints. As soon as she got
the sickening tobacco out of her mouth,
Granny was all right.
MI. Bradley came to Montana in

of tanning horses is unique. He puts

Geraldine Farmer
Harvests Big Crop

Wheat crops that averaged about IS
bushels to the acre were reported on
the farm of Mart Nichol, who operates
in the Geraldine district, it was learned
from Mayor Martin c. Grinde of Great

trip through the Geraldine and Square
Butte districts. Nichol is said to have
harvested about $1,000 bushels of wheat.
Volunteer wheat crops that yielded
from 20 to Is bushels to the acre were
reported in the Square Butte section,
and substantially large yields were re-
ported by many farmers.
The winter wheat in the Square
Butte district was said to be heavy No.

Glendive comes from a joint OF dive
owned originally by a man named
Glenn. The boys were accustomed to
saying, Lets go down to Glenn's

shortened to Glendive. He has worked

One of the road crew tipped him off
that when the boys came to a spring,
q creek, q waterfall or a knoll that was
noticeable in the landscape, and bore
no name, they would talk the matter
over and decide on a name, or n OF
the men would scribble his own name
on a board, nail the board to a stake,
and stick it in the ground. When the
soldiers who patrolled the park came
by, they would make their reports and
include these names in their report.
Later, official map-makers located
these points, and eventually official
markers put up.
It was something Of a joke among
the men; but it shows how difficult to
trace are the real origins Of certain
names. Legends, usually incorrect, IN
the end grow up and are accepted.
Bradley Springs, in the Fire Hole, got
its name when Steeple Jack Bradley
picked up a shingle and wrote his name
on it, while he was taking five" be-
