Campaigning
To Eradicate
Stock Disease
DR.. J. Mcfarland Explains
Plans to Meeting Of
Local Farmers.
u. s. GOVERNMENT
SPONSORING WORK

DR.. J. S. Mcfarland Of Whitefish.
deputy state veterinarian, was in Libby
Monday and met with about Is farmers
that evening in the city hall DR.. Nc
Farland's visit was for the purpose Of
explaining campaign that is being
started by the federal government for
the eradication of infectious abortion
among cattle. This is serious disease
and is costing cattle raisers huge sums
of money annually
Under the plan as outlined by DR..
Mcfarland, the government is giving
the farmers the choice Of signing up
voluntarily for a series of three tests
to be made of all cattle. Those that
prove to be infected will be sold to
butchers, but such animals will first
be appraised and the government will
pay to the farmer the difference be-
tween the appraised value and what is
paid for the animal by the butcher.
1t is also understood the first two tests
will be made free, but that the farmer
will have to stand the cost of the third
test.
In its campaign to eradicate this dis
ease the government is giving cattle
owners the opportunity to cooperate
voluntarily. 1t is understood that COM
pliance with the provisions of the cam
paign will later become compulsory

County Commissioners Select
Site For New Court House

While in session last Saturday the
board of county commissioners definite
ly chose as location for the new court
house the Lincoln boulevard site. There
was one condition attached to this ac-
ton, however, and that was that the
county would not expend to exceed
$500 in the purchase of the site. Any
additional sum needed will therefore
have to be raised by public subscrip-
ton. This action was taken upon mo-
ton by County Commissioner Kensler
seconded by County Commissioner
Frost.
The commissioners voted to allow an
expenditure of not to exceed $500 for
the new site after study of the pro-
posal had convinced them that the
county would be put to that much of
an expense in removing county build
ings from the present court house site
if it had been decided to build on the
old site. BY constructing the new struc-
ture on the Boulevard avenue site, the
present court house and tool shed can

be left intact and it undoubtedly will
be possible to dispose of the old court
house building to much better advan-
tage under that arrangement.
Reports have been current that some
property owners would protest the new
site because of the belief that it would
close one end of the alley through that
block. This is wrong impression. The
plan has been to provide driveway
across the rear of the court house prop
erty connecting the alley either with
Mineral or California avenues or pos
sibly with both avenues. There has
been no intention to close the alley.
Nothing new has developed regard
ing the court house bonds although
firm of bond buyers in Minneapolis
has asked for transcript of the pro-
ceedings. They are interested in thu
issue and are of the belief it would be
possible to issue serial bonds. If that
can be done, it is understood this firm
would bid for the bonds.

place. !
Continuing the trip they will proceed
to New Orleans and will there attend
the annual convention of the National
Editorial association, of which Editor

interest in historic old New Orleans, the
party will then drive across to Tampa,
Fla, for visit with Mr. Rowes broth

Mccormick will have charge of the edi-
torial work Of the Western News. It
will interest Western News readers to
know that Mr.. Mccormick was gradu-
ated from Gonzaga university in 1926
and while there took two years in
journalism and was business manager
of the university publications. Follow
ing graduation he was employed in
high school teaching for two years. An
other note Of interest is that Mr. Nc
Cormick played football while at the
university, at the same time that Tiny.
Cahoon was playing there and making
name for himself, Cahoon later being
athletic coach for the Libby high school.
We ask for Mr. Mccormick the coop
Grafton of Libby people in the pinch
hitting he will do for the editor during
his vacation trip.

Earth Slide Blocks
Highway and Railroad

Both the highway and railroad west
of Libby were blocked for several hours
yesterday by large earth slide that
came down about o'clock. A huge
mass of rock and earth covered the
highway and both railroad tracks Its
outer edge next the river was some 6 to
8 feet high, over the track there was
10 to II feet of mud, while the high
way is buried beneath some IS to 20
feet of debris. 1t extends a distance
of from 200 to 300 feet.
All G. N. trains were held in Libby
and Troy until power shovels from
Spokane and Whitefish could remove
the obstruction. The track was cleared
about IL o'clock last night. Just when
the highway will be opened is a prob
lem. Travel will now have to use the
old switchback.

JUNIORS-PAST AND PRESENT.

To have seen US then, III years ago
as we assembled in the primary rooms
one would never think us to be the
same group who now serenely occupy
the third and fourth rows of the High
School assembly and call ourselves the
scholarly Juniors.
We had the good fortune of having
Miss Reynolds and Miss Plummer teach
us our readin', 'riting and 'rithmetic.
Our grade school days were happy
and filled with parties, picnics and
programs in which all of us at some
Aime or another took part. During our
second year the second grade teach
ers sponsored an operetta which was a
pleasant event
During our third year the addition
had been made on the High School
building and we had the privilege of
using the little gymnasium to play in
during recess
AS our fifth grade year rolled along
and spring came we felt very proud
that we too would be allowed to par
ticipate in the track events.
The following year we became mem
bers of the Junior High. How thrilled
we were that we would be permitted
to pass to classes and to see the pro-
grams and pep meetings which were
given in the Junior High auditorium.

these two terms under the direction of

Personality
Natural Beauty Gets
Support in Vivacity
and Alertness.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

Young girls are becoming so aware
of their own potentialities as
lovely ladies, so conscious Of beauty
that some Of them are sadly losing
sight Of the two most charming at
tributes Of youth: aliveness and
naturalness.
They are so sophisticated, some Of
them, even affecting an attitude Of
ennui and boredom with the entire
universe that their elders are sorry
for them. That sparkling. bubbling
enthusiasm that is so essentially q
part Of youth-where has it gone?
II it has been replaced by a very con-
crete knowledge of beauty lore that
Is regrettable. For beauty Of face or
hair or figure cannot take the place
Of healthy aliveness, of that wide
eyed interest in everything. In fact,
without it external beauty becomes
empty.
That inner enthusiasm we're talk
ing about Is reflected in bright eyes.
These mirrors of the soul" show it
more than any other feature. And /
would a thousand times rather see
dull hair than dull eyes. Sad eyes.
listless eyes, lack-lustre eyes, express
sionless eyes or eyes that say, st
know all about 1t and what's the
use"-these belong to age. not youth,
yet one sees them now and then in
very young person.
Be Bright.
Be bright, be natural, be eager.
BY brightness don't mean being
bookworm. Indeed, I think It is
admirable to learn ones lessons well,
but you know the one about all work
and no play. Dull eyes often belong
to a bright bookworm who has no
other interests in life. And that isn't
as it should be- Dull, followed eyes
also belong to some young ones who
play too hard; late hours, too much
partying around nights. And that
isn't as it should be.
The truly charming person in her
twixteens is one who is ambitious in
her studies, interested in hobbies, eager
for parties without permitting them

or thoughts. Her life is as balanced
as her diet, which accounts for the
fact that her eyes are as clear as her
skin. She knows a number Of make
up tricks, but doesn't need the. rouge
pot. She keeps the natural roses in
her cheeks from sheer health. And
vibrant health is one reason why she
gets so much of kick out of life.
She is right up on her toes on hair
styles, but for school she arranges
her coiffure in a soft, fluffy, brushed
up style. Sophisticated, definite curls
are adopted only for special parties,
if then. She's casual in her manner,
in her clothes. in her makeup.
Casual, yet right and responsive.
Paradoxical, you say? Decidedly not.
Natural and alive. Youth at its sanest
and best.

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Criminals.


CRIMINALS have a goal, pur-
pose. They don't simply bob UP
now and then. They have been In
the making for years. They are not
conscious of this hidden purpose.
which Is known as the motive for
the crime, when the law gets on the
Job.
j., Crime is a vocation. It's a choice
Of activities which the weak take up
when they discover that it is easier
to deceive than to 60 out and achieve.
That's why criminals always imagine
they have wits. They laugh to them
selves about their brilliance.
Every criminal is a rebel. He rebels
at first against impersonal situations.
Later he enlargeS his scope so as to
include persons. Then he goes in
for activities that will satisfy his
personal peeve. That's why you have
the specialties in the course Of GRIM
inal careers. Criminal acts are to q
large degree impulsive. They are per-
formed without much foresight or
consideration of consequences. That's
why prison sentence has little or
no educational value. The criminal
is g. type for whom reformation Is
next to impossible.
Criminals are generally egotiStical,
fond of getting into the limelight.
That's why, in the penitentiaries, they
soon begin to classify themselves.
