THIS WORK MUST GO ON

Wonderful progress has been made In
recent wears in the cure and proven
ton Of tuberculosis. Hundreds of men
women and children now alive would
be dead if the disease were as destruc-
tive as it was two decades ago, and that
death rate goes on declining.
But the fight must not lag now. DR.
Kendell Emerson. president Of the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association, has
emphasized the need for continued eff
fort as follows:
1.-THE frequently reiterated fact thai
while tuberculosis has taken sixth OF
seventh place as a cause OF death ir
the whole population it still leads ir
the deaths between fifteen and forty
and proves the need of a continued
campaign. Although diagnostic meth
DDS have steadily improved it is still
true that ONLY 1897 Of sanatorium adj
missions are found to he in the frs
stages OF the disease This means thai
far too many unrecognized cases in the
community are still threatening theil
neighbors with infection.
Refinements in our technique arf
needed all along the line There is nt
phase Of orr work where effort can bt
relaxed On the other hand we are
at point in the history Of tuberculosis

SURPLUS COMMODITIES DEPOT

There is en- old saving to the effect.
Don't bite the hand that feeds vou,"

from entering the surplus commodities

Investigation disclosed that the clasp

be raised from the outside There were
marks on the window frame showing

A GREAT SCENIC ASSET TO
BE SAVED

From time to time action has been
taken by the Libby Commercial club
and the Libby Lions club looking to the
preservation of strips of timber along
the principal highways through this
district. The object has been, of course,
to preserve the natural beauty of the
district for the enjoyment Of local resi-
dents and for the enticing of tourists
through this favored section.
For these reasons, a recent announce
ment by Walter Neils, local manager
Of the ]. Neils Lumber company, was
received with much qualification. Mr..
Neils stated last Thursday night, at the
meeting of the Libby Commercial club,
that negotiations between his company
and the forest service had reached the
point where he felt it safe to state that
the j. Neils company would leave a
strip of standing timber hundred
yards wide on each side Of the high
way, in the company's logging opera
tions west of Troy.
Through this praise worthy cooper
alton between the lumber company and
the forest service, great scenic and
aesthetic asset will be preserved, for the
enjoyment, edification and enrichment
of the lives of thousands of people. The
spirit of cooperation that has made this
possible is deserving of the hearty
thanks of the entire community.

Will Campaign For
Mines Development

HELENA.-As result of the exhibit
of Montana's mineral resources which
was staged at Denver during the meet
ing of the western division of the
American Mining Congress by Mon
tanans, Inc, it has been proposed that
mining division of the organization
be formed for the purpose of putting
into effect an active campaign of pub
licity for our undeveloped mineral re-
sources. These include oil and coal
as well as ore deposits.
Montanans, Inc, was requested by
the Montana Mining Association to
handle the Denver exhibit and the
move to form the mineral div sion has
the sanction and support Of all the or
CARNATIONS to whom it has been pre-
scented. The plan is to have the men,
bership subscribed by concerns inter-
ested in the development of our min
eral resources devoted to this work.
The affairs of the division would be adj
ministered by a committee of five Sc
lected by its members.

Illiteracy Cause Of
Heavy Monetary Loss
BY Paul May

WASHINGTON D. G., Nov. 26.--Il-
literacy is costing Lincoln county's un-
educated approximately $9,516 annual
ly in decreased earning power, it was
estimated today by specialists in the
United States department of education
According to DR.. L. r. Alderman
adult education authority of the de-
partment and nationally recognized
scholar on the subject. Lincoln county
has 81 illiterates who contribute to the
annual loss in earning power OF the
community.
DR. Alderman bases his figure on q
survey made few years ago by the
department of the interior, in which il
was, he said. conclusively proved that
workers not having the equivalent Of q
sixth grade education lose a minimum
of fifty cents day for every working
day of their lives.
This loss, DIR. Alderman explained is
in addition to the county burden Of
supporting the aged illiterate and the
added cost of crime, slum conditions
and disease chargeable to illiteracy
that must be met by the local state and
federal governments, but which could
be avoided by proper education.
Under DIR. Alderman's supervision
the problem Of educating the approx
mately 100000 illiterate in the nation
is being combatted through adult edu-
cation projects of the bureau of edu-
cation.

Quotes From Report

Forest Resources-The committee is
impressed by the present key impor-
lance of the forest industry in the
economy of the Pacific Northwest
region. The conclusion presented in the
report show that this area contains SIS
percent of the entire virgin timber
within the national boundaries. 1t is
thus the basic supply for the nation Of
this great raw material. Its importance
to the rest of the region is indicated by
the fact that it supports over rs percent
Of the population within the region and
that it employs in the states of Oregon
and Washington So percent of all the
workers who are engaged in industrial
activity. The maintenance of the tim
Der industry, is therefore, Of very great
importance to the welfare Of the region
THE data presented clearly indicate
that private and public economy ir
these states is in serious jeopardy be-
cause OF the failure Of national anc
regional policy to base the development
OF this resource upon sound founda-
ton The most crucial phase OF Thu
problem has to do with the harvesting
OF timber on private lands. While tn
publicly owned timber area Is large
than that under private ownership, TIL

ONE REASON FOR INCREASED
COST OF LIVING

A remark commonly heard these days
is in respect to the increased cost Of
the things one has to buy. Prices
are lust getting terrible" the housewife
is often heard to exclaim.
One reason for this is the constantly
growing tax burden. The public should
BEGIN to realize that taxes must even
tuallv come out Of the lahorer-out OF
the ultimate consumer. They must be
passed on TO the consumer in higher
prizes for the things he buys.
Nothing touches the citizen more
closely in his daily life than taxes and
yet the subject is one to which the av-
GRACE citizen gives the least attention
and study In dollars actually collected
from the people the total taxes in 1897
were 50 percent higher than1in 1925

K1ehm discussed topic of supreme
Importance not only to Libby but to
all of Lincoln county. He discussed
timber management from the stand
point of sustained yield; in other words,
the making possible of perpetual lum-
Der industry in the county.
Mr.. Klehm at first pointed out how
the timber resources of the districts
west of us are being cut out and saw
mills closed down, to the great damage
of the towns where located He fol-

1.-THE seal sale should be generously
supported by every one because the
fact that tuberculosis is today the sew
enth cause Of death, instead of the first
as it was 80 years ago, is due in no
small part to Christmas seals. These
gay holiday stickers furnish the money
necessary to set in motion a vast ma

WORTHWHILE AND OTHERWISE,

THANKSGIVING IN 1896

Thanksgiving this year finds America
with much for which it can rejoice
We are at peace with the world anc
further from entanglements than al
most any other nation.
The emergency of the depression is
past Unemployment rolls have fallen
to probably less than 100000 Manu-
featuring employment is almost back to
the 1929 level. Payrolls have risen
steadily and many of the 1900 600
share holders in Americas great indus
tries are receiving their first dividends
in years.
President Roosevelt is able to report
"the return of prosperity has restored
hope to citizens in all parts of the
country
Best of all, we can reflect upon this
Thanksgiving day that America has
avoided the pitfalls of other countries.
While the postwar depressions have
drawn other peoples into the quick
sand of tyranny, we in this country
have stood firm on our liberties and
freedom.
Depressions have always been a well
come vehicle for the demagogue, the
agitator, the false prophet. Even with
prosperity returning, there will be those
who will look backward and insist up
on their quack remedies for an emer-
gency that is no longer with us.
But it is uncomfortable that after bat
Ting upward out of the valley of the
depression for six years America will
surrender any part of its liberty with
the goal in sight
That is not the American Way. And
for that all people will give thanks.
