Destruction at Camp

The Plentywood Boy Scout troops camp located
south of Archer in what is known as timber coulee'
is doomed to destruction as thoughtless citizens in
sst on %chopring away the fine growth of trees found
there.
Boy Scout leaders visiting the camp Sunday re-
ported that choppers had cut down many fine poplars
at the upper end of the camp. 1t was estimated that
more than three truck loads were taken from the
coulee.
Sheridan county gave a deed to the Boy Scouts
OF America. 1t is their property. They have improved
il.
The camp has sanitary facilities, camp kitchens
and tables and much work has been done to i'm
prove a spring in the valley which bubbles forth
excellent water. Plans call for erection of a cabin
there when material and support is available.
Timber coulee is one of the few places In Sher-
idan county where actual timber is found. To have
it destroyed by unjustified ~chopping is an aggravating
situation.
Those who persist in cutting down the trees
and hauling them away are not only trespassing on
private property, but are robbing a grand group OF
boys Of a wooded spot where they may camp and
are free to call it their own.
1t is the urgent plea of the boys, that natures
handiwork in Timber coulee not be destroyed.

Acts 6:1-10. Golden Text. Gal.
6:9.
Our lesson tells us of the conse-
Grafton of seven disciples chosen TO
act as a board or committee res
ponsible for the fair Distribution Of
the charitable donations of The
church. These seven have often been
called deacons, but they are not so
designated by St. Luke in the les
son narrative. 1t is reasonable TO
assume that Stephen, Philip, and
the other five associated with them,
were a temporary committee ap-
pointed merely for a special pur-
pose.
Jesus, it is sometimes said, never
served on a committee. But he
gathered twelve men around him to
whom he entrusted his mission. and
he also appointed other seventy
also, and sent them two by two be-
fore his face into every city and
place" (see Luke 10:1) Thus our
Lord did not despise organization.
To be sure, he would doubtless be
irked by the REORGANIZATION so
characteristic of today. But he would

be the first to recognize that the
Christian movement a V be
successful without that careful Ian
ming and long-range strategy made
possible only by intensive organiza-
ton.
1t is peculiarly true today that
the Church must mobilize its re-
sources with r%edoubled energy, be-
cause the forces opposed to it are
unusually powerful. Fortunately
the churches are fully alive to the
seriousness of the situation, as evil
denced by the great international
Christian Conferences held at Or
ford and Edinburgh last summer
where a plan for a World Council
of Churches was adopted. If this
proposal is approved by the vari-
Gus ecclesiastical bodies in differ
ent lands the churches will be able
to act as a unit on a world scale
for the first time since the Refofma-
ton.
But the success of such an i'm
mense enterprise depends, in the
last analysis, on the program of the
local parish.

Today is Thanksgiving

Today is Thanksgiving and Sheridan countF
people will gather round tables loaded with sumpt-
uous good things to eat and to offer thanks for that
which has been given.
King Turkey, symbolic of the festival, reigns
for a day.
The annual festival of Thanksgiving has been
recorded in this country since the seventeenth CEN
fury. The original day of Thanksgiving, history tells
us, was set aside for blessings of the closing year.
and for that reason the festival comes towards the
closing months of the year.
The earliest Thanksgiving in America was kept
by the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth in 1921 when
Governor Bradley made provisions for a day of
thanksgiving and prayer after the gathering of the
first harvest. The custom was repeated often dur
ing that and ensuing centuries.
Congress recommended days of Thanksgiving
annually during the Revolution, and in 1884 for
the return of peace. President Madison issued a pro
clamation of the same import in 1915. Washington
appointed a similar day in 1889, after the adoption
of the constitution, and in 1895 he appointed anoth-
er day as Thanksgiving day for the general benefits
OF the nation. Since 1868 every President has issued
each year a proclamation appointing the last Thurs
day of November as Thanksgiving day.
Despite the most adverse conditions in the his
tory of Sheridan county, residents have much to be
freedom of a democratic government.
Sheridan county residents win today offer thanks
for the blessings OF good health and happiness and
the good which eas been given during the year, now
drawing to a close.

The triangle of which | write Is
not the famous triangle of litera'
ture but one whose base Is the mouth
and whose apex is the bridge Of the
nose. Surgeons call it the danger
Gus area of the face" because they
have seen people die quickly after
quite small infections in this area.
The skin of the face Is thin and
well supplied with blood. Blood
from the dangerous triangle Is car
ried in veins that go directly and
without any valves to the cavern
Gus sinus that lies at the base OF
the brain.
Where is the danger in all this?
Suppose that a few germs settle In
this area, let us say just inside the
nose. The germs begin to multiply.
as is their wont. But the body pro-
ceeds to defend itself by building
a delicate wall Of tissue around the
germs. Now there is a pimple. 1t n
noys the owner Of the nose, and he
rubs or scratches it. In any other
parts Of the body, this bad technique
would scarcely matter. But here lie
those veins waiting to carry blood
10 the base of the brain. And the
ri:ptured wall of protective tissue
is not allowed to heal bcause all the
time changes of expression keep the
skin on the move.
OF course, most people who have
a pimple on the nose do not go to a
doctor. No one knows how many
of them recover uneventfully. But
when the doctor does see someone
with infection he is afraid. All he
can do Is to try to keep the part
perfectly still and undisturbed. No
talking, no laughing, eating with as
little movement as possible, and,
above all, never scatching or rub
bling.

trying to stimulate the building in
dustry. There is already sufficient
authority in the laws creating the
Federal Housing Administration and
Reconstruction Finance Corporation,
to enable the Administration to put
into effect a plan of not only insur-
ing loans by private capital to fin
ance new building construction. but
also making direct loans OF Federal
funds to organizations engaged In
financing building projects. The lat
est plan under serious discussion Is
that the money collected In income
taxes on the wages Of workers, un-
der the Social Security Act, instead
Of being mingled with the Treasury's
general funds, should be ear-marked
for building loans. This would put
workers to work with money contri-
buted by workers, and that seems to
many persons here a just and equit-
able way to use the Social Security
fund.
Labor Squabble Disgusts Congress
A strong reaction is noticeable In
Congress against any plan for regu-
lating hours and wages Of labor by
Federal law, unless the Labor or
carnations are prepared to quit
their position of opposition to any
legislation which would place them
under responsibility equal to that of
employers. There are many indica-
tiOns that Congress is less inclined
to one-sided Labor legislation and
somewhat Disguised over the quarrel
between the two big Labor organi-
cations, the Federation and the C.
/. 0. Both organizations have lost
a great deal Of their political pres
tige and influence In the past few
months.
Much criticism is being levelled
at the Secretary of Labor, Nine.
Perkins, for her failure to reconcile
the differences between the two
wings of Organized Labor. Both
sides in the Labor controversy show
so little confidence in her that, in
any other system of government, she
would be forced to resign. The per-

Why Let Them Diep

More than one-half of the deaths from tuber-
culosis in our community are among young men
and young women between the ages OF fifteen and
%forty-five.
In 1887 more than 200 citizens OF Montana
will die of tuberculosis. Most of these deaths are
needless and represent not only suffering and anguish
to the victims and their families, but millions of
dollars loss to the taxpayers of this state and nation.
We now know how to cure tuberculosis in most
cases If the disease is discovered in tine. Modern
methods OF finding and curing uberculosis-the
clinic, the tuberculin test, the X-ray, the hospital,
and above all, the doctor, are at our disposal.
Last year 1884 boys and girls in Montana high
schools were given the tuberculin test. Twelve per
cent of these had at one time been exposed to the
disease. None of these will die Of tube, culosis be-
cause they have learned Through the tuberculin
test and x-ray whether or not they have been ex-
posed to the disease, and what precautions they
must take, If they have been infected with the dis
case, to grow to healthy manhood and womanhood.
But what about those others who have not had
the opportunity of taking the tuberculin test? Why
let these hopeful youths die needlessly of a prevent
able, controllable disease? The purchase of a few
Christmas Seals will make it possible for them to
have the tuberculin test, too.

Washington-All branches of the
Federal Government, Legislative,
Executive and Judicial, are giving
serious attention to the problem Of
how to relieve private business from
the strains imposed by too much
Governmental restriction and tava-
ton. The sudden slump in business
activities came as a surprise to
many Washington officials and a
shock to all. For political reasons,
M less than economic, it has alarm
ed those who are concernd with ell
ection results and who are keenly
aware that all the Congressman and
a third of the Senators must stand
for reelection in less than a year
Something must be done before then
to start the wheels of business and
industry rolling again.
Power Companies on Spot
The problem of how Government
can help business has even reached
the Supreme Court in one of its
phases. In response to representa-
lions that the electric power COM
panies were ready to spend several
billion dollars in extending and i'm
proving their service. provided Gov
eminent would refrain from COM
petition and i'll general east up on
the restrictions which make capital
timid about utilities investments,
President Roosevelt said he would
favor such a course by Government
provided the power companies would
readjust their rates in accordance
with the actual investment in their
plants. instead of on their replace
ment cost. The practice of valua-
ton Of utilities at what it would
cost today to build their plants, and
basing rates upon the interest re-
turn on such valuations, has been
upheld by the Federal courts since
1889. But now a case has come be-
fore the Supreme Court, in which
the Federal Power Commission asks
that body to decide that a Californ-
la electric company must reduce its
rates to the basis of the money act
ually invested in its business.
Should the court find for the Gov
eminent, it would be a reversal Of
previous Supreme Court decisions,
but it would open the door for the
carrying out of the Presidents
pledge to cooperate with the power
companies, and so put it up to them
to make good on their assurance
that they are ready to spend a lot
OF money and put a lot of men to
work once the Government eases up
on them.
Congress Weighs Business 'RcIief'
AS an aid to business and indus
try, in general, Congress seems to
be greatly impressed with the de-
STABILITY of %lessoning the tax bur-
dens on corporations and on the
earnings of private capital, to en-
courage wider investment and bust
ness expansion. 1t seems a safe pre-
diction that some measure of relief
for business will be enacted at this
session Of Congress, before it gets
around to the first item on the
Presidents program, farm relief.
The belief of most experienced OBJ
servers here is that it will be Con-
gress, not the President, which will
decide what to do first and how to
do it.

going to solve all of their difficult
ties. It works for few months or

really one of the fundamental prin-
ciples of treatment in such cases,
because what the new diet does is
to give confidence, and their prin-

ways toward restoring their morale.
Improve General Health
Treatment is not entirely dietary
and,should be aimed to improve the
general health. Exercise and OIL
versions, and plenty of rest are OF
paramount Importance. A rest pc
Rod after each meal can and should
be arranged, no matter what sort
of work they do.
Under diet it is more important
how. when and under what circum-
stances they eat than what they
eat. They should avoid eating
when in rush, when over-tired. or
when mentally upset. If they can
not get through meal without
friction, argument or family row.
they ought to arrange TO eat Dy
themselves.
Drugs of all kinds, especially ca
thartics, should be avoided as mucn
as possible. A smooth diet, one
that avoids indigestible fooos,
should be arranged practically Ior
life.
