TO THE ALUMNI.

You, who still follow the events Of
Libby High, will be interested to know
that there has been serious intention
of changing the school colors from
purple and white to blue and new gold
As you probably know, the athletic
colors are blue and new gold and there
has been no formal change of the
school colors from purple and white to
the blue and gold. Some time ago a
straw vote was taken in the High
School Assembly and the majority of
the students were in favor of changing
the colors to blue and new gold How
ever, the Honor Society, as sponsors,
believe the alumni should have a part
in the voting, You, the alumni, are
privileged, and especially urged to have
part in this voting. There are argu-
ments for and against the proposed
change SO please telephone or write
your opinion, or vote by the fifteenth
of May. These ballots may be sent TO
the office of the High School In this
way we can determine the colors of
our school,

Chain letters have been travelling the

students with the words Have you
received any chain letters?n Assemblies
are filled with whispered versions of

/ preoccupied as each student thinks of

electric with this disquietude. It has
grown to tremendous proportions
Everyone has been bitten with the
bug
Chain letters have in my mind a
magnitude beyond the pecuniary inter-
est Letters are sent from friend to
friend; yet, in sense, the group is not
bound by a common bond of friend

them from friends but are we friends

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, March 29.-Severe dust
storms reported as extending from
Texas to Nebraska gave a quick lift
to grain prices today.
Not only were fears expressed by
traders that the dust storms might
cause Widespread crop damage, but ap-
prehension also was voiced that freez-
ing temperatures predicted for Kansas
and Nebraska would be likely to have
i'll effects on wheat prospects. Reas-
suring advices regarding a future out
let for Canada's surplus were an addi-
tional strengthening price factor.
After scoring a maximum rise of
IL cents a bushel, wheat closed firm,
l4a7s cents above yesterdays finish;
May, 95Aass; corn 1aa2 cents up;
May, 80Aaas; oats, 3sa9s advanced,
and provisions varying from S cents
decline to an equal gain.
With no material pressure to sell
apparent, the wheat market readily
responded to bullish news. Most heed
was given to reports of dust storms
said by many points to be the worst
so far this season. A typical message
that came from Dodge City, Kans.,
said the dust conditions were such
that it was impossible to see across
the street.
For the time being, European none
tary and political developments were
ignored. Decided interest, however,
was shown regarding statements at
tributed to John I. Mcfarland, head
of the Canadian government wheat
pool. He was quoted as declaring he
still believed his forecasts would be
borne out that Canadas wheat carry
over on July l, next, would be but
100,000,000 bushels, although it now
amounts to around 235 100000.
Corn and oats values went higher
with wheat, and as a result of en-
larged buying of corn futures.
Provisions were steadied because OF
grain market strength.

"Only one development in February
foreign trade was encouraging. The
trade balance, while still unfavorable,
was smaller than in January, due
largely to the fact that imports were
smaller. This is no doubt caused by
the tightening of restrictions by the
