Northwest associations of secondary
schools and high schools stating that
the Libby High School is a fully ac-
credited and approved high school and
that graduates from this institution may
attend any of the universities or col
leges on equal terms with any high
school of the state.
The Montana State Board of Health
issued certificate of award to the
Libby High School on May % for hon
orable mention in the state health post
err contest. The posters were sent III
from Miss Gilchrist's art class and was
a drawing by June Hunter.
High School and Junior High

High School building Friday morning
beginning at nine o'clock. All report
cards were mailed to pupils to avoid
the forming of crowds of children at
the school building Any pupil who has
awards for attendance or other per

lished the Pioneer Award under which
outstanding pupils in the Senior class

Every unemployed veteran on the re
lief rolls was included in that proposed
deficit"
Most significant is the fact that the
President holds tenaciously to the view
that money already printed and Dor
rowed from the bankers to whom we
pay outrageous rates of interest is more
valuable and is safer than money print
ed by the government itself direct
without borrowing from the bankers
and printing beautiful bonds upon
which we pay unnecessary and need
less rates of interest.
The congress as whole was amazed
by the Presidents maneuver in ac-
centuating his veto action by personal
delivery. One remarkable statement
stands out in his message which / can
not. pass without hearty approval. He
scored those who enjoy special priv
ilege and unWarranted remuneration,
during wartime, evidently referring to
the dollar year-men. He wisely add
ed: But a recurrence of that type of
war profiteering can and must be pre-
vented in any future war The senate
sustained the veto, the vote being 54
to override and 40 to sustain. No, that
is not wrong. 1t takes two thirds to
override Presidents veto.

Libby Rod and Gun
ClubP ut 0nBig Feed

The Libby Rod and Gun Club held
their annual fish fry at Woodman hall
Tuesday evening The dinner was well
attended by Libby people, and some
of Troy's ardent sportsment made the
trip up for the big event. About so
guests including, six ladies were pres
ent to help the boys celebrate.
The fish for the dinner were caught
by members of the club over the week
end and consisted mainly of Eastern
brook trout with a few rainboWs and
natives Most of the trout came from
Fish lake near Stryker also some from
Kilbrennen.
The ladies were heard to exclaim
over the Righteousness of the fish served
and wondered how it was done. For
exact details we would refer them to
the chief chef of the evening, Gene
Racicot, but we observed that they were
first rolled in flour and then fried in
deep fat over a moderately hot stove.
Bake pans were used instead of frying
pans and they were handled in ire
mendous quantities for such short
lime and-sarved piping hot.
Mr.. Racicot was ably assisted in the
kitchen by number Of the boys

maker presiding over a wash-boiler of

LINCOLN COUNTY MAN
BUYS FLOODED HORSE

A new heyday for cold dobbin" is
at hand Prices on draft horses at pub
lie auctions have advanced from S.
to $50 head over prices Of last year,
according to the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. Sales of purbred
Percherons alone, totaled 2,73l for the
first four months Of 1885, an increase
of rs per cent over the same period Of
1884, according to reports from the
Percheron Horse Association of Amer
lea at Chicago.
Among the latest buyers is Clarence
Winkley of Fortine, who has recently
brought into this county a purebred
Percheron stallion which he purchased
from Ed Cone of Marion, Mont.
The stallion is a grey, four ear-old,
sired by Gen. Foch, and carries the
bloodlines of some of the most prom
inent imported French sires.

ridors crowded, throngs on the capitol
grounds, amid all the glamor and glory
that usually attends delivery of mes
sage to the congress, the President APP
preached the rostrum and in a calm,
dispassionate voice set forth his argu-
mentation As usual his speech was
masterful, but evidently did not con-
vince 322 congressman who voted 10
override his veto.
Members excepted sharply to that
paragraph wherein the President said
His country with honor and graft
tude returned him at the end of the
war to the citizenry from which he
came. He became once more member
Of the great civilian population. Some
interpreted this, fairly or unfairly, as
an insinuation by the President that
the government of the United States
was generous in giving them citizenship,
Members criticised the statement that
the soldier who risked all in his coun-
trys defense was entitled to no more
or no less than any other citizen. In
many instances soldiers returned, Grip
pied, manned and blind, without their
remunerative positions, vacated to de-
fend their country He served with SOL
diers in the World War who received
more than he for his services. The
country owes them what it promised
and II ought to be paid now when most
needed.
The President sought to distinguish
between a debt due and payable at a
future date and the obligation which
the government of the United States
has admitted it owes to the ex-service
men. The two are clearly distinguish
able. The government debt to the ex-
service men existed at the end of the
war. The veteran had to wait until its
grateful government saw fit to pay that
debt. If | owe you $1,000 now cannot
say to you, but you must wait until
1945 until | can pay you. Especially
while the government is discharging
obligations to others more fortunately
situated-banks, insurance companies
railroads, etc. We didn't wait until 1945
to adjust the losses that the railroads
supposedly suffered Why keep Ameri-
can youth who risked life itself in de-
Tense of their land waiting2 The Presi-
dent did not mention that since the
ex-service men were authorized to bor-
row on their adjusted service certifi-
Gates from the banks, comopunding the
interest the remaining amount owing
the soldier will be consumed by the
time the debt is due and payable l
would, therefore, be payable to ths
banker instead of the soldier.
The most cleverly worded part o
the Presidents speech was with refer
ence to the budget, and more than one
congressman wondered how he wolle
handle that argument. He has always
maintained that payment of benefits t
the soldiers endangers the sound credi
of the government. He now maintains
it could not destroy the credit of th'
government and argues in the face o
the deficit existing: "The whole OF tina
deficit was to be applied for work re.
lief for the unemployed" And again
