A Greeting
At a Time Like This Useless to
Express In Windy Platitudes
Holiday Sentiments.

The following APPLY worded
holiday greeting, sent out to its
subscribers by the publishers of
one OF the Ann Arbor newspapers,
was shown this week to a men,
Der of the editorial staff of the
Hardin Tribune-Herald, and it
hits the nail on the head" so
precisely that It is herewith pass
ed on to our readers:
At a time calling for strength
and courage, it is useless to ex-
press holiday sentiments in win
dy platitudes or meaningless wish
es. Far better, let them find ex-
preston through the stern stuff
that builds better payrolls, meets
obligations and performs a ser
vice to the community. There is
nothing better than q pay envel-
ope, a debt discharged, or a Job
well and economically done to
brighten a Christmas tree, or re-
vive hopes so important to life
and happiness. This program e
uuires long hours and hard work.
The times call for service and for
sacrifice. The employer who in
hard times will not redouble his
efforts or who would rather turn
the key in his factory door than
take the risks of profitless opera-
ton. stands. on a par with the
workman who would go out on
strike rather than labor hard for
the support of his family. On
the other hand, the employer
who does take the risks, who re-
doubles his efforts. who increases
his payroll and whose only divi-
dends are the durable satisfac-
lions coming with new friend
ships, with families maintained,
with good work economically done,
has expressed himself in terms
that count. We can neither wish
nor loaf ourselves back into pros
perity. The American people are
learning over again, that ease
cannot take the place OF effort.
So, today, If we may express a
wish for this holiday season and
the new year, it is, for a rapid
return to those good old American
principles Of hard work, rugged
courage, rugged honesty and fin
ally hard cofnfield common sense.

Divek and Buster" Bedrock, a
couple of hard-hitting 175-pound-

lasted. Buster" took the first

face; in the second round, how
ever, Ben came back strong and
sunk a hard right to Busters
mid-section that took all the fight
out of the Indian and Ben was
declared the winner with a tech

The bout between Kenneth Nc

o Service
Body Named
To Cooperate With Federal and
State Agencies Providing
Feed and Seed.

A drought service committee OF
Big Horn county has been APP
pointed consisting of E. c. Wood
ley of Wyola, John P. Turner of
Hardin and Ed Torske of Hardin.
Geo. w. G~ustafson, county agent,
has been appointed secretary of
this committee.
The purpose Of this committee
is to cooperate with the state
and federal agencies in making
feed and seed available to those
who may be short due to drought
conditions of the past year.
A survey has been made Of the
feed supply and needs Of the
county. With the sale Of cattle
to the government a closer bal
ance between supply and demand
has been made. Arrangements
have been made to ship in hay if
there is need for it. but not until
the hav still available in the
county has been exhausted. Farm
ers or stockmen who need hay
are urged bv the committee to
purchase their feed supply before
all the hay has been sold locally,
which can be purchased cheaper
than hay shipped in by the gov
eminent.
The question OF seed for the
spring Of 1885 is going to be taken
up by the drought service COM
mittee, also a survey of the local
supply Of seed grain is being made
and anv farmer having seed Of
any kind for sale should list such
supply with the committee or the
county, agent now. It isn't a
question Of the government buy
ing this seed. But there is going
TO he a demand from local coun-
tv farmers for seed and If 1t can
he supplied locally. that should
be done. Farmers who need seed
should list their needs with the
county agent now so arrange
ments ran be made to supply the
demand.

Formed at Helena To Prevent
ABSORPTION of Counties
Except by Ballot.

Representatives from 20 f
Montana's Sc counties met in
Helena, Monday evening, Deem
Der II, pursuant to a call made
and formed the Montana County
Protective Association" The pur-
pose of this organization is to OPP
pose the forced consolidation of
counties as proposed from several
sources and to sponsor an amend
ment to the constitution which
would make same impossible
without the consent (by vote) of
each of the counties concerned in
any contemplated consolidation.
Resolutions and copies of these
have been mailed to each state
senator and representative.
Officers of the association are
H. S. Thurston, Stanford, chair
man: E. W. Harris, Fort Benton,
treasurer; and D. r. Andrews,
Virginia City, secretary. Vice.
chairmen, one from each county
interested, are to be appointed as
soon as possible by the chairman.
Following the organization Of
the ASSOCIATION its members met
with the Montana Taxpayers
Association, one OF the sponsors
of the forced consolidation, in the
state capitol on Tuesday, December
ID. There the taxpayers asso-
citation, through its secretary,
Fred Bennion, announced that 1t
would sponsor a bill in the next
legislature to reduce the number
Of counties to % or % through the
abandonment of every county
whose taxable valuation is less
than $5,000, 600. Should the legis-
lature fail to heed its mandate,
the taxpayers association is pre-
pared to attempt to put its
measure through as an initiative
measure.
1t is interesting to note that
the Montana Taxpayers Associa-
ton quickly changed its plans for
consolidating the states counties
into Is, when the extent of the
opposition to this plan was real
lied, and decided to change its
tactics-hoping that by reducing
the number of counties to be
eliminated, the people in many of
the remaining counties would be
lulled into a sense of security,
only to be gobbled up later.
Although opponents OF forced
consolidation were numerous at
the taxpayers meeting, not one
in favor OF the scheme was found
with the exception OF Paul Ben
MON. In concluding his remarks
on county consolidation Bennion
said that if his consolidation
scheme is not accepted willingly
by the people of the state there
are ways and means of making
them like it.
Under the proposal, Big Horn
county and Saltwater county
would be attached to Yellowstone
county.
Following is the resolution as
passed by the Montana County
Protective association:
Whereas, there appears in the
state OF Montana today a well
defined movement a t ing
the abandonment, abolition, ter
or forced consolidation
of many Montana counties with
out the approval by majority
vote or otherwise Of the county
or counties proposed to be aban-
doned abolished, terminated, or
consolidated; and that
