Solution to Previous Contract

 J was interested to note that, at several recent important major tournaments, pre-emptive bidding was the subject of discussion. Ex- perts for long time were of the belief that pre-emptive bidding was a losing strategy in contract.
 While many of the better play CTS are trying out an interference three bid and a pre-emptive four bid. there is still nothing to con- firm the fact that this type of bid ding has any advantage.

FIRE WARDENS ARE
NAMED FOR SEASON
Notices of Appointments
Arrive From Derrick
This Week
Special To The News

M~issoula, July "A group of
representative Montana citizens,
many serving their third year,
have been appointed state volun-
teer fire wardens for the season
of 1884, and will again assist the
regular forest protection agencies
in preventing man-caused forest
fires on federal, state and private
lands, according to State Forester
Rutledge Parker.
Since its inception in 1881, when
10 Butte citizens volunteered to
act as state fire wardens without
pay, there has been a notable de-
crease in number of man-caused
fires in Montana, the state for
ester pointed out. The idea became
statewide in 1882 and public
spirited citizens in nearly all pop
ulated centers of the state con-
sented to support the movement.
In 1888 approximately 1000 citi-
zens we're listed as volunteer fire
wardens.
although their appointment
implies only such obligations to
fight forest fires as devolves up
on every citizen, their influence
and aid to state and federal agen-
cies has been marked with praise
worthy success" said Mr.. Parker.
However, operating under the
powers conferred upon them by
state and federal forest fire laws,
these volunteer wardens will be in
position to approach with author
ity any camper, smoker or incen-
diary whose acts-careless or de-
liberate-might result in forest
fires"
Appointment cards and a digest
of Montana fire laws are being
distributed to the citizens who
have agreed to act without pay as

miner in the employ of the COM
pany.

Our Nations Birthday, July 4

Our second president, John Adams, poured out his very soul in sup
port of the Declaration of Independence before the document was
signed. We quote herewith:
But whatever may be our fate, be assured that this Declaration
will stand. 1t may cost treasure, and it may cost blood, but it will
stand, and it will richly compensate for both. Through the thick gloom
of the present, / see the brightness of the future, as the sun in heaven.
We shall make this a glorious, an immortal day. When we are in our
graves, our children will honor it. They will celebrate it with thanks
giving, with festvity, with bonfires and Examinations. On its annual
return, they will shed tears, copious, gushing tears, not of subsection
and slavery, not of agony and distress, but of exultation, of gratitude
and JOY Sir, before God, / believe the hour is come. My judgment
approves this. measure, and my whole heart is in it. All that ] have,
and all that i am, and all that / hope, in this life. ! am now ready
here to stake upon it. And l leave off as / began, that, live or die,
survive Q perish, am for the Declaration: It is my living sentiment,
Independence now, and Independence foreveri'
There is not a real American who does not thrill at the story of how
colonial leaders affixed their signatures to the Declaration of indie
pehdence--the document which gave birth to our mighty nation. Let
us stimulate a greater spirit of patriotism, and thereby deal telling
blows to those in America who seek to undermine our constitution.

( it is being consciously prepared by
the Roosevelt administration, not
only for military duties, but for
directing and running the entire
country in every phase of life. Mr..
Woodring says, the army is our
secret insurance against chaos, /"
That is, if the army were not so
well prepared, there would be chaos
in the United States, or the I'M
mediate threat Of chaos. This should
be a very good answer to those who
think that the policies Of the New
Deal are already stabilizing condi-
tons in the United States Condi-
tons cannot be very stable when the
army stands as the main insurance
against chaos in the country. He
says:
let me speak frankly: n this
country should be threatened with
foreign war, economic chaos, or
social revolution, the Army has the
training, the experience, the or
ganizatiOn, aud the men to support
the government and direct the
country in the national interest"
In this quotation he starts out with
the. word "if,' but later on, he shows
that this "if' is not a very important
word for him, because he declares
directly that this same insurance is
not against some general possibility
that exists, but against an imminent
danger that the country faces. He
says in describing the Army:
at is essentially a seIf-contained
nation within the nation. an
authority able to work independ-
emily OF the political and business
conditions Of the country, under
the constitutional Commander-in-
Chief, the President, assisted By
the Secretary Of War :"
g. the Army is standing b.
Loyalty, ready and able not only to
support the consulted authority,
bnt TO organize the life of the couu-
try SO as to defend the people from
starvation and disorder"
This is the program Of the army
today, it is the preparation for the
naturalization Of the entire country
from top to bottom - the economic
and social life Of the country. With
regard to the industries of the coun-
try Mr.. Woodring describes the
preparations for industrial mobiliza-
