years to paw the appraised price of the
farm. The County Farm Debt Advisory
committee offers the farmer the chance
of getting an immediate satisfactory
settlement of his debts, whereas the
bankruptcy course holds many uncer-
tainties. Of course, the Frazier-Lemke
amendment will be helpful in certain
extreme cases, but in view of the ex-
perience so far in Montana, the state
committee believes that the great ma
jority of cases can be settled fairly
with the aid of the county farm debt
advisory committees.

The members of the Lincoln County
Farm Debt Advisory committee are:
F. r. Baney of Libby, chairman; John
E. Whit of Eureka vice chairman; r.

of Eureka.
The County Farm Debt Advisory

ator of Helena.
These men work under the directions
Of Governor F. Fl. Cooney, chairman 81

committee Estate Farm Debt Advisory

The state committee feels that with
this set-up no deserving farmer neec

that ultimately he may be able TO oper-
ate it profitably. Every distressed farm
er debtor is urged to get in touch witt
his county farm debt advisory com
mittee.

Editorial

Atmosphere! How does your school
affect you? Do you enjoy its flow of
life, its quiet peace, or is it a constant
irritant to you? Every school, like
every home, has its atmosphere In
deed, there is decided chasm between
happy, orderly, peaceful home and a
turbulent, disorderly, unlovely home.
The former brings out the best in
everyone. Every member has a place
therein sharing the family cares and
joys. He has duties to perform and he
is expected to carry them through
Thus it is in the school. School life
reacts upon the students work, whether
he enjoys the classes and activities or
whether he considers them mere
duty That pleasant atmosphere depends
on the students. Each student should
make point to do his bit and carry
his part in making the school happy
and worthwhile for everyone concerned
with it. His effort will not be in vain.
