Arthur Brisbane is mentioned in
the preface to show that asser-
tons relating to d%epressions and
money made by him and others
holding jobs on newspapers that
are members of the organized
control press reflect inspiration
rather than investigation and
comprehension.
About four years ago, Brisbane
was one of those who reiterated
the absurd assertion that "de-
pressions are mysterious, cyclical
occurrences inexplicable and I'M
avoidable."
School children now above the
sixth grade know that the causes
of depressions can be investigated
and understood; that there is
nothing mysterious about depres-
sions except the priestcraft prac-
tees of those who officiate as the
high priests of the money god.
Brisbane, in his "Today" column
of February l, 1884, reiterated an
other financial superstitution,
equally absurd, to-wit: mo one
knows anything about money"
The truth is there is nothing
unknown about money. 1t is no
more mysterious than the strings
of wampum used by the aborig-
ines of this country as a medium
of exchange before the white men
came; it is no more mysterious
than the iron money used by the
Spartans 800 years before Christ;
it is no more mysterious than the
money of stamped pieces of leath-
err used by the people of ancient
Carthage to facilitate business
and commerce.
Money is inanimate matter. 1t
is incapable of weird, inexplicable
apperitional performances to con-
fuse and mystify the minds of
men. Money is only mysterious to
those whose minds have been made
superstition-conscious; who be-
lieve in the efficacy Of money fet-

ishim; and who allow reason to be
clouded by the superstitious be-
liefs preached by the high-priests
of the money god.
To the ancient-C Carthage idolat-
ors who watched the priests of
Moloch perform their sacificial
rites by tossing screaming infants
into the huge brazen, out-stretched
hands heated red-hot to receive
them, their idol was a mysterious
and inexplicable god to be feared
and adored. But to US of this day
who have seer brazen images of
Moloch, we know those idols were
only inanimate matter and that it
was the terror of superstition that
made the worshippers of Moloch
behold in him one whose power
gave life and plenty for obedience,
death and famine for disobedience;
one whose jealous power exacted
tithes and offerings, whose wrath
was placated only by human sac
rifices. 1t was the %conceit, trick
cry and deception Of the high
priests of Moloch that made the
people see in him, not a hideous
image of a human monster, but a
god, all powerful, all seeing, all
knowing!
Today, the people Of this nation
watch the high priests of Mann
mon perform their sacrificial rites
by throwing children into his
greedy, extended hands that seize
and destroy by malnutrition, or
diseases induced by low vitality
resulting from under-nourish-
ment; or by throwing farmers and
workmen into his greedy, extend
ed hands that seize and destroy by
making them destitute and turn
ing them out of their homes to
starve and freeze; or by throwing
middle-age and old-age men and
women into his greedy, extended
hands that seize and destroy by
"scrapping" and dumping them
on the frightful junk-heaps Of
human poverty!
Money is Mammon to the dol
lar worshippers Of today It is the

AID IS
NEEDED TO FIGHT
HOPPER SCOURGE
State E~ntomologist Says
Winter Is Favorable
To Pests

Bozeman, Feb. 6.-(Special)-
All possible effort to secure the
passage of measures now before
congress providing funds to fight
the serious grasshopper invasion
threatening Montana and other
regions in the northwest is urged
by A. l.. Strand, state entomolo-
gist and head of the entomology
department at Montana State
College.
Never before in the history of
the state has the grasshopper sit
uation been as menacing as at
present, the official states. In
many counties the soil is infiltered
with grasshopper egg pods. With
the arrival of warm weather, the
hungry horde of insects will
emerge. The grasshoppers re-
ported in some parts of the state
during the mild winter are mere
ly a few that have lived through
the winter since last fall. Exam
nation of eggs in the soil on the
warmest days during recent weeks
show the eggs to be still dormant.
Montana and the other states
that are in the center of this in
~festation must be prepared for the
battle, says the entomologist.
Weather late in the spring may
help check the pest but the COM
bination of weather conditions
necessary to kill the young grass
hoppers before they can do serious
damage are hardly to be depend
ed upon. The lines must be laid
for a poisoning campaign and the
plans must be drawn up now, he
says.
Federal aid is needed. The
measures now before house and
senate will provide $2,354,983 for
this purpose, the entomologist
advises. If the campaign is to be
effective supplies of poison must
be on hand so that the campaign
may be launched before serious
damage can be done. He warns
that the bill must be passed at
once if it is to do any good, and
every effort must be made to
avoid loading it down with amend
ments to hamper and retard the
work.
The measures are listed as sem
ate joint resolution rs and house
joint resolution 247, the former
introduced by Senator b. X.
Wheeler of Montana and the lat
ter by Congressman William
Lemke of North Dakota.

CONOCO TO BOOST
R. |. IN AIR TALKS
Coming Broadcasts Are to
Feature Scenic Spots
In u. S.

General business in Red Lodge
should benefit this year from an
increase in tourist traffic which
is expected to result from a series
of unusual radio broadcasts by
Continental Oil company, sponsor
of the Conoco Travel bureau, be-
ginning Wednesday night, Febru-
airy Ia.
Figures just released show that
the Conoco Travel bureau during
1888 routed a total of 1920 tour
list groups to and through Montana,
many of whom were visitors in
Red Lodge.
Conoco's radlo program this
year, while including some COM
edy and a wide variety of music,
both vocal and instrumental, will
feature dramatized vacation tours
to outstanding scenic and pleas
ure resorts throughout America.
Towns visited by these radio mot
orists will be described, thereby
receiving some valuable tourist
publicity, as the broadcast will go
out over 27 N. B. c. stations.
The February IA program, $3.50
to 8 p. M, Mountain standard
time, will enact a thrilling trip
from Wichita, Kansas, to the
southern Colorado Rockies, and
will also include a talk by Tony
internationally famous art
list who created the funny illustra-
tions for the Conoco Bronze gaso-
line advertisements now appear
ing in this newspaper.
In promoting vacation travel the
Conoco Travel bureau is making a
definite contribution to improve
ment of general business condi-
lions. This is proved by a survey
just completed, showing that the
average Conoco Travel bureau va
cation tourist spends $3.50 and
travels S,400 miles, and that the
sum he spends is parceled out in
towns along his route in this man
ner: Miscellaneous retail pur-
chases, rs per cent; restaurants,
21 per cent; hotels and cottage
camps, 20 per cent; transporta-
ton, 20 per cent; amusements, s
per cent; confectionery, 6 per
cent.

CHS CAGERS FACE
KLEIN FOR FINAL
HOME APPEARANCE
Visitors Expected to Offer
Stiff Opposition
To Locals

Carbon county hoopsters will
make their final appearance on
their home court here Friday
night when they meet the strong
Klein high quint on the Washing
ton hall court.
This will be one of the supreme
tests for Coach A. M. Hartwig's
cagers before the district tourna-
ment Examinations. With a record
of fourteen wins in as many
starts, the locals possess n of
the most enviable regulations in
Montana basketball circles, and a
defeat now, so close to the sea-
sons close, would bring the world
tumbling about their ears"
The Klein high quint, in weight
and size, is superior to the Car
bon squad, and was defeated early
in the season by the locals on the
Klein floor in a tightly contested
duel. Only one other defeat, by a
Fergus county high team, mars
the otherwise excellent record of
the Klein basketballers. In her
previous clash with the local
squad, Klein proved itself as a
highly efficient court machine.
Carbon lead with a scant three
three points at intermission and
found themselves tied 17-17 at the
end of the third period. In a last
quarter squirt, the locals came out
the better of a 29-19 score.
Klein has the record of being
the only team to beat the first
string squad of the Bearcreek
high school. Vescovi, Klein cen
ter, is said to compare favorably
in size, weight and ability with
big Pete" Zupan, captain and
ace pivot man of the Carbon out
fit, who, from past performances
of the season, should rate a cen
ter berth in all-state selections
this year.
There will be no preliminary
contest to Friday nights game
which is scheduled to start at 5
p. m. sharp. The Carbon quint
will play Laurel high on the Rail-
readers floor tonight.

planned to make expensive i'm
provements on the house; of TAX
ing out insurance on the house
and then, having burned the house,
entered a claim which included
$1,000 for the furniture alone.
Fires under similar circum-
stances had occurred previous to
the Bearcreek blaze at Columbus
in Saltwater county and Clancy in
Jefferson county of which the
pair are also accused of instigat-
ing. The blazes for a time led au-
thorities to believe that a we'll
organized arson gang was oper-
ating in the state, different names
being used at the places where the
fires occurred. The Saari broth
ers have been held in the county
jail here in lieu of $1,000 each.
In regard to the bringing of
Jones here for trial in the Carbon
county court, County Attorney
Conwell pointed out, that on
change of venue trial, full ex-
penses of the trial are paid by the
county from which the venue
comes. In this case, Saltwater
county would pay all costs of the
case.

SAAR| BROTHERS
OF BUTTE ARE UP
FOR TRIAL SOON
Saltwater County Man May
Also Go ON Trial
Here

County Attorney E. P. Conwell
said here Wednesday that John
Saari, 80, and his brother, Sam
Saari, 80, both of Butte, who have
been held in the county Jail since
last July on charges of burning
insured property with intent to de-
fraud, would probably go on trial
here February 10. A jury, he said,
would be called for February IS
to report on the 18th.
At the same time, County At
torney Conwell said, it is planned
to try the case of Wesley Jones,
held in the Saltwater county Jail
at Columbus on charges of en-
bezzlement, here on a change of
venue from Saltwater county to
this county. The plans were tenta-
tive, however, Mr.. Conwell added,
and no final arrangements have
been made.
Inc Butte brothers were arrest
ed in the Mining city by State
Fire Marshall J. w. Mountjoy on
the accusation that they had been
operating alleged arson activities
in three counties. Charges on
which the pair were arraigned
grew out of the burning of a small
frame house at Bearcreek on
June 10, 1882, which the Saari
brothers purchased some time be-
fore. AS owners, they claimed
that they had lost, besides the
house, a $685. accordian, a $3.50
violin, a 5000 diamond ring and
an expensive watch. 1t was also
charged hat the house was pur-
chased for $50 and was located on
leased land; that the brothers told
an insurance agent hat they

STATE BIRTH AND
DEATH Rates HIT
RECORD Low, 1888
Montana Vital Statistics
Give Other Data for
Past Year

Montana reached a new low in
1888 with the lowest birth and
infant mortality rates in its his
tory, and a death rate which has
been lower only four times in %
years, according to the provisional
1888 figures of the bureau of
vital statistics of the state board
of health. There were 1854 births
recorded for 1888, a decrease of
480 under the previous years fig
ures, lowering the birth rate from
40 to 16.1 per 1000 population
There were SO less deaths during
the past year than in 1882 1921
to 5,192), dropping the death rate
from 9.8 to SO, and only 426 chill
dren died before reaching their
first birthday, as compared to
AGO the year before. This made
an infant mortality rate of 400
per 1000 live births, compared to
sos in 1882.
The state is not as wild as it
used to be. Only "a homicides,
the fewest in history, were re-
corded during 1888. This is al
most a so per cent decrease from
the number of the preceding year,
when there were az recorded.
Suicides, too, showed a drop, with
ia in 1888 from 124 in 1882.
Automobile accidents, however,
registered an increase from SO to
lit, four of which were railroad
crossing wrecks and the rest
straight auto accidents of one
form or another.
In causes of death, tuberculosis
twenty years ago caused the great
est number of deaths, but dropped
to seventh place in 1888. Heart
disease, the leading cause of death
in 1882, retained its position in
1888, with, roughly, n death in
every six being due to that cause,
a total of 918. Cancer brought
about 400 deaths, an average of
about one in ten, and accidents
(~total) were a close third, result
ing in 493 fatalities. Other
causes of death in order of i'm
portance were apoplexy, 378, APP
proximately n out of fourteen;
nephritis (kidney) 372, one out Of
fourteen; pneumonia, 327; tuber-
%culosis, 268; early infancy, 262;
flu, 1911; and automobile acct
dents, lit.
Only So mothers died in child
birth, compared to 81 the year be-
fore. These are the fewest deaths
from puerperal causes in history,
but due to the decline in the num-
Der of births, the maternal NOR
tally rate was slightly higher
for 1888, being go as compared to
SO per 1000 live births in 1882.
Deaths from ~diphtheria showed
a great rate of increase, since
there were 16 in the past year, to
A in 1882, making a percentile in
crease of 300. During the same
period typhoid deaths increased
from IA to 10, while there were
only two poliomyelitis (infantile
paraysis) fatalities, to four in the
preceding year.
Four the fourth time in 20 years
there were no deaths from small
pox reported. Meningitis de-
creased so per cent. There were
only three deaths in 1888 to six
deaths in 1882.

CARBON HANGS UP
FOURTEENTH WIN
Roundup and Joliet Drop to
Locals Here This
Week

Unleashlng n OF the most
spectacular closing attacks seen
here in recent years, Carbon coun-
ty high basketballers stemmed a
determined Roundup high drive
here Saturday night to emerge on
the long end of a 1926 final tally.
1t was the locals fourteenth
straight win of the season, having
previously defeated Joliet here
last Wednesday night, 42-16.
Playing a first class brand Of
ball, both squads kept fans on
edge throughout. The Roundup
quint showed most of its power in
the first half when it twice
jumped into the lead, but dropped
behind in the closing cantos when
Zupan, center, and Niemi, guard,
led a Carbon rally which began
late in the third session. The score
was knotted five times during the
contest.
Coach A. M. Hartwig's cagers
emerged with a 7-6- edge on the
visitors in the opening chapter
and found the Roundup quint right
up beside them at the intermis-
sion in a 14-14 tieup. In the open
ing Of the third period, Zupan
dropped in a floor shot and two
free offerings to give the locals
an 1914 edge, but Roundup, with
a field goal each from Kelly, cen
ter, and Smith, guard, retaliated
to even it 18-all. From then on,
the locals began to shake off the
tenacious grip of the visitors and
the third period wound up 23-18.
Zupan, veteran hub mar for
Red Lodge, shared scoring hon
ors of the evening with Ortmayer,
Roundup forward. Both men con-
tributed eleven points each to the
scoring.
The lineups:
Carbon-Brown (5), Liedes and
Kangas (5), forwards; Zupan
(11), center; Niemi (7) and Dor
an (5), guards. Roundup-Green-
er (5), Eislein and Ortmayer (11),
forwards; Kelly "a, center;
Smith (4) and Callahan ~,
guards.
On the Washington hall floor
here last Wednesday, a Joliet
high school team opened against
a Carbon second team squad and
led TO at the end of the initial
period. Early in the next canto
the locals knotted it at gall and
by the end of the chapter were
leading 1873. During the remain
der of the contest, Joliet ate Car
bon's dust; the third period tally
being 25-11 and the final count
1915. Second and third string
men were used by Coach Hartwig
up into the final minutes of play,
when he sent in his regulars as
relief.
The lineups:
Carbon-Schwin, j. Zupan, Sale
and Siekkula (8), forwards; Solsc
(2), P. Zupan (2) and Obert az
