COlOrful Event
200 Students Take Part in
Parade and Musical
Program.
BONNERS FERRY
SENDS SCHOOL BAND

Last Saturday was one of the most
eelerful events ever attempted by Libby
schools. approximately 200 student
musicians congregated here from Bon
ners Ferry, Idaho Troy and Libby. The
entire day was given over to the musi-
clans, with Libby mothers serving
luncheon and an evening meal to the
visitors The morning was spent in
practice with many youngsters playing
for the first time in large group. Miss
Gladys White of Bonners Ferry, and
Mr.. Beardsley, the Libby impresario,
took turns shaking" the baton at the
hundred horns, saxaphones, trumpets,
and drummers, as they welled forth
into such selections as Fillmones tri-
lmphal march, "El Captain" The
massedeorchestra played such selections
as Hungarian Dances by Brahms, and
March Militaire' by Shubert.
There were two programs given for
the public At thirty in the after
noon the Junior High assembly was
filled with out-of-town visitors and
local parents and children. Several Sc
lections were sung by the mixed chorus
under the direction of Miss Fousek
The massed band and massed orchestra
played several concert numbeH which
to many, seemed miraculous consider
ing the amount of time devoted to the
work. Miss> Margaret Clay, charming
young Troyl violinist entertained with
several selections which were very
much appreciated.
The evening performance found the
the assembly packed. The program was
arranged similar to that of the after
noon. In addition to the orchestra,
band and chorus work the evening was
s'spiced" with solo numbers. Mrs. Wal
ter Neils accompanied by Miss Fousek
sang several appropriate and delight
full songs while Mr.. Louis Des Voignes
entertained at the piano Miss Clay
again appeared with selection of
Kriesler and the Perfect Day. by Bond.
MIR. Fred Marx Of Rexford was the
other soloist. He played several selec-
tions on the narp and was loudly
applauded
The music meet has been fine ad-
dition to our school program and we
hope that Mr. Beardsley and others in
terested in the future of music here will
feel justified in attempting to make the
meeting an annual affair. at least this
one was overly successful and enjoyed
by everyone present.

Libby P.-T.A.
Hold Lively Meeting

The regular meeting of the PIT. A.
was held Monday evening in the Junior
High auditorium with a very large at
tendance, the auditorium being filled
to capacity The meeting opened with
two numbers by the high school or
chestra directed by Mr.. Beardsley. The
regular business was transacted. Mrs.
Mount, the membership chairman,
stated that up to this meeting there
were LA members, but that during the
last two or three days an additional
SO had joined
Mrs. Billings gave brief report on
the Roundup to be held in the high
school building next Saturday, May IS,
beginning at 1890, and parents with
children to be examined were urged
to be prompt in keeping their appoint
ments. Committees are working the city
dating up eligible children.
The association agreed to 60 on
record as favoring the construction Of a
viaduct over the Great Northern tracks,
letters to be sent to the proper officials.
Rev Price of Whitefish then gave a
very interesting talk on children and
the Movies" He stated that the movie
is the greatest invention for public
education the world has yet discovered,
and it is here to stay. The right kind
of movies should arouse wholesome
emotions in child. Statistics show that
$3.50 of the attendance at movies are
persons under 81, SO care should be
taken to produce only the best, be-
cause of the great influence on our
youth. A large number of movies are
based on crime, war and sex, and the
motives are anything but the kind that
motivated Washington, Lincoln and
other heroes. The wrong kind ofmovies
may have a detrimental effect upon a
child's nerves, and if the child has a
weak heart, this condition is liable to
be aggravated. It is the duty OF parents
to study their own children and see
that they attend only the right type of
movie. In most cases the background
is one of luxury and this in many cases
caused children to become discontented
with their homes, and the result is their
/ resorting to crime, dishonesty and the
like, in their endeavor to create this
condition for themselves
Another importantsphase Of the movie
production is the effect upon foreign
countries. This is the only way that these
countries can ever gain an idea oi
what America is like as its ideals, The
4 private life of its citizens, etc, anc

How to. Make Plants Hardy.

Plants produced under glass are gen
orally tender and subject to injury from
wind and lower temperatures when
first transplantea to the garden, says
Z. f. Isaac, extension horticulturist at
Montana State College Plants can be
hardened by gradually exposing them
to lower temperatures for week prior
to setting in the garden or field. This
is accomplished through removal of
sash during the warmer part of the
day, lengthening the period each day,
weather permitting, until the plants can
be left uncovered day and night.

be fished more. consistently than any
other stream in Lincoln county

Just how FAR the experiences Of a tiny ~jerkwater"
railroad can be applied to the great trunk lines il
probably a matter for argument. Anyway people who
travel on trains win undoubtedly hope that the big
roads may take suitable cosnizance OF the recent ex-
perience Of the Fonda, Johnstown, and GloTersviIle
railway In upstate New York.
This road recently tried out q cent-a-mile passen-
ger fare, and the experiment has worked % wen that
1t win be continued. Passenger service has showed az
amazing increase, and cash revenue has also risen IN
spite Of the slash In rates.
It's an old business principle - when you can't sell
your goods, cut your price until you can sell them. TO
be sure. the great complexity Of the modern railway
rate structure makes that advice easier to give than
TO follow.
Nevertheless. it might pay the big eastern roads 10

A Valley Aroused

No person who attended the vaIley-wide safety
meeting at Mercedes Tuesday night but came away
with the firm conviction that the people Of the val
ley are determined to do something about this death
tol that has become a characteristic Of our paved
highways.

governments, schools. The very fact Of their presence

TO appoint . member OF the central committee Of the
organization. and each appointee thus named win BE-
come the chairman OF his community COMMITTEES
through which q campaign OF education and law en-
forcement win be carried on.
OF on the right foot at the start, the action Of the
organization in passing resolutions addressed 10 Gov.
ernor Alfred seeking more stringent laws governing
automobile driving and asking the chief executive 70
submit q drivers license law is to be commended.
According to press reports the governor Is lending
a sympathetic ear to the proponents OF q drivers H.
cense law. and the receipt OF resolutions asking such
action win undoubtedly serve to strengthen his con-
victions on the subject. All organizations Of the VAL
ley have been requested to pass such resolutions i'm
mediately and submit to the governor, and all or
CARNATIONS should heed the request.
One aftermath Of the Mercedes meeting and
the forming Of o permanent safety organization Is sure
20 BE- the more strict enforcement OF traffic regula-
tons In and out OF incorporated cities.
The voice OF the public "a demanding such enforce
ment, and those not In tune with this demand should
watch their step. Public sympathy Is going to be with
the enforcement officers. not with those who infract
rules and regulations.
Very evident It is that the Valley Is determined to
make every move possible for safer highways.

one thing. ct least. the fighting In Ethiopia Is max
ing clear: that our modern mechanization or warfare
has vastly widened the gap between the trained army
and the il-equipped volunteer levy.
To date the Italians seem to have had no real OBJ

There are 50 many different kinds OF headaches

gestion. even though that seems to be the most fire.
qucnt form.
There may be some trouble with your stomach, but
perhaps your nervous system IL more To blame for
your headaches. Possibly, also, some other c0ndi-
ton may be involved. such as infection OF the sinuses,
to which both nervous and stomach ailments may he
secondary.
In fact, 1t Is 50 easy to place responsibility for a
headache on the gastric trouble that doctors are In
clined to search for every other possibility before pin
ming the difficulty finally on the disorder in the
stomach.
Headaches may be due, for example. to infections,
to tumors In the brain. to hardening OF the arteries,
to difficulties with vision, high blood pressure. kidney
disturbances, heart weakness. s~ensitivity to various
foods and pollens. lead poisoning. deficient action Of
the thyroid, and other causes. Each Of the conditions
must be ruled out before the attention Is definitely
turned to the sastro-intestinal tract.
ee
Three types Of headaches are regularly associated
with disturbances Of the digestion. The first type
Is regularly associated with constipation.
Persons in this group insist that they have q head
ache II they do not have an action OF the bowels every
"a hours. They become slaves TO the cathartic habit.
In such cases 1t is necessary to regulate completely
the hygiene Of the gastro-intestinal tract.
Another group Of headaches is associated regularly
with indigestion. Persons 50 affected are chronically
tired. If their diets are regulated so that they eat
small quantities Of food at frequent intervals. II their
bowels are regulated. and II they are given adequate
rest with mild and limited exercise. not only viii their
general condition improve. but their headaches win
disappear.
Then there is the sick headache sometimes ASSOCIATE
ed with sensitivities to certain foods. II the sufferer
can find out what food brings on the attack, and
eliminate that food from the diet. the condition win
be brought under control.
Some people say their have headaches after emitting
food for long intervals; some say that they have their
headaches when they skip their morning cup OF COT
fee, others insist that certain combinations o. foods
bring on headaches In their cases. The cure ir such
cases Is obvious.
Thus. the only headaches that are directly due solely
to the gastro-intestinal tract are the ones regularly
associated with constipation. The others would seem
to be brought about by the gastro-intestinal tract
and some associated condition.
You can see. therefore. now important 4 Is to make
a thorough study Of every case OF headache. 50 as TO
know what really causes II. and bring about the proper

TO The Herald:
Your October 18th issue has an
editorial captioned "Unemploy-
ment here To stay. Let's face the
fact"
II In this editorial you had stat
ed that unemployment was un-
avoidable SO long as the country Is
operating under the existing eco
nomic set-up you would, In my
opinion. have been absolutely right.
But, if you meant that it IL impoS-
sible 20 construct an order In which
there shall be employment for all.
then ! believe you are wrong.
Let me remind you that there
was q time in this country when
there was q job for every one who
was willing to work. That time
was during the existence Of the
great American frontier. The rea-
son there were jobs then for every
body was because land was free
and people could make q living on
N farm if they could not make II
anywhere else. Likewise, the exis-
tence OF free land forced the en-
ployer class OF that period to pay
fun wages. Otherwise. the help
moved on to q piece Of land and
went to work for themselves.
Full wages for the working class
meant that purchasing power bal
anced production and that the pro
ducers OF that time had good mar
kets for their surplus products.
Let me further call your atten-
ton 20 the fact that the present
condition OF static unemployment
and poor markets dates from the
disappearance Of the frontier with
its opportunity Of farming cheap
land. And, what Is more. this con-
dltion Of unemployment and poor
markets has been gradually getting
worse and IN all probability win
continue CO that course until
speculative holdings are put back

be done7 Sure 1t can, by
taking the unearned mere

purposes and by emitting personal
property and improvements from
our tax rolls. This simple change
