man The dinner was pleasant social
affair of an informal nature
A Libby citizen, Attorney B. F.
Maiden, and Dean Hamilton are old
friends of long years standing, their
acquaintance having extended from
early days in Bozeman. Mr.. Maiden
was at one time head of the old acad-
envy at Bozeman which in 1893 was
absorbed by creation of the Montana
agricultural college, now termed the
state college. AT that time Mr.. Maiden
went into the newly organized college
as professor of English and principal of
the preparatory department. Later he
retired from college work and engaged
in the practice of law, at which he was
occupied when DIR. Hamilton came to
Bozeman as the fourth president Of the
institution, in 1904. Naturally the two
men had many "reminiscences to enjoy
Following serving of dinner, Dean
Hamilton spoke briefly relative to pres
ent social trends. He said recovery from
the depression had not come SO rapidly
as had been hoped and that it is now
conceded the magnitude Of the depres-
sion was not fully realized by the ma
tional administration, and because of
that the corrective machinery set in
motion had not been extensive enough.
Dean Hamilton stated the administra-
ton is now launching a program to
help start the heavy industries under
greater Roadway and will spend mil
lions of dollars in speeding up con-
struction projects throughout the ma
ton. The dean said it is now generally
believed the administration will have
to expend from five to 10 billions Of
dollars each year for the next two
years in order to prime the pump"
and get industry started on normal
course again. Information is to he
effect that this will be done, he said,
The gathering broke up at o'clock
in time for those present to attend the
high school commencement exercises,

Possession of a mining property
south of Libby the Tip Top mines, is
causing trouble, with the result that
the parties to the fracas are in district
court.
About year ago A. G. Lotze OBJ
tanned lease on the property and last
summer operated the mine. Expecting
to operate the property on a larger
scale this summer, when he returned in
the spring, he found that Wesley Sote-
bar had jumped the claim on which the
concentrating mill stands, had left his
brother, Leroy Sotebar, in possession
of it and would not vacate. Sunday
night Lotze, accompanied by L. L. Nc
Lain and Arthur Hughes, went to the
mill and began to break in. Sotebar, on
the inside, warned them away. The
three MEN broke into the mill, however,
and fight started, Sotebar throwing
anything he could get his hands on at
the invaders, according to the evidence.
Lotze and the others replied with SINH
lar ammunition and finally Sotebar was
struck in the body by piece of cast
ing. After being subdued he telephoned
his brother in town who swore out
warrant for the arrest of Lotze, McLain
and Hughes charging them with burg
larry. They were arrested by Sheriff
Baney and given preliminary hearing
Monday in Justice Haigler's court and
were bound over to district court. At

Why the Sudden
Change to Liquid
laxatiVeS?

Doctors have always recognized the
value of the laxative whose dose can
be measured, and whose action can
be thus regulated to suit individual
need
The public, too, is fast returning
to the use of liquid laxatives People
have learned that a properly pre-
pared liquid laxative brings a perfect
movement without any discomfort
at the time, or after.
The dose of a liquid laxative can
be varied to suit the needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. 1t forms no habit, YOU
need not take double dose" day

laxative irritate the kidneys.

WASHINGTON Marcn 23.-Na-
tional desire for renewal OF bygone
days when the China trade" af-
forded a rich harvest for every Yam
kee trader mas given an impetus to
the drive N congress for silver legis-
lation.
The old traditions of clipper
ships, Canton mandarins and the
tea trade hover about the Capitol as
friends OF the white metal make a
supreme effort for legislation which
they believe will rid Pacific COM
merce from world depression.
The house, approving the Dies
bill, to permit acceptance of silver
at a premium up to Is per cent for
surplus farm commodities was
moved in arge degree by trade con-
siderations.
Representative Martin Dies Dem,
Tex, author Of the bill told the
United Press that its enactment
would give a healthy stimulus to
trans-Pacidc commerce and ship
ping. hasten the disposal of perhaps
$4,000 100000 Of surplus farm COM
mCdities in the next few years, and
aid the economic recuperation OF
China and other countries of the
far east.
The Texas congressman called
special attention to the fact that
his plan could be availed not only
by the proposed agricultural sur
plus exchange board, but also by
all private exporters.
Under the bill, he explained. any

exporter could deposit at the treas
ury silver received at a premium
in payment for agricultural sur
plus products sold to foreign buy
ers and receive silver certificates.
Immediate Benefits Due
Receipt of silver at a premium
for farm products would be helpful
Immediately to China he said. If
we accept their silver at the maxi
mum premium of 25 per cent they
would obtain that advantage, while
at the same time American export
ers would have an improved position
with respect TO competitors in the
China trade
When the Chinese buy United
States products they now have to
convert their silver into gold or its
exchange equivalent. -Four Chinese
dollars purchase approximately one
gold dollar, with the consequence
that their purchases are expensive.
III we give them a fair price for
their silver they can purchase farm
surpluses, such as cotton, tobacco
and wheat.
Predicts Senate Acceptance
at is a mistake to presume that
acceptance of silver at a premium
of Is per cent is equivalent to a
government bounty to exporters.
That would only be the case if
silver failed to rise as a result of
the operation of the plan
In fact. there is every reason to
believe that there will be a rise Of
at least 25 per cent in the world
price of silver, and probably much
more"
Mr.. Dies thought that senate
reference of his bill to the agricul-
ture committee. instead of banking
and currency, was favorable to an
early report He predicted that if
the bill comes to a senate vote, it
will pass.
