the American form of government,
the Senator has many warm sup
porters here who were glad to meet
him and talk over state and ma

Pays Gracious Compliment.

To a Glib friend of mine from the
Flathead country | remarked the
other day that the poor condition
of Lincoln county roads keeps OUT
siders from coming into Libby. He
responded that the poor roads are
designed to keep Libby people
from getting out. As three months
resident | fastened to assure him
/ that it would be an excellent thing
!! for adjacent civilization if the Gull
tured and kindly inhabitants of this
town should show the example Of
their cordial disposition and gentle
courtesy beyond the limits of Lin
coin county.
But we must not get away from
Granite lake. In many cases, friends
and associates make trip. A jour

when one has, as | had, an ideal
aggregate of friends, the outing is
all the more enjoyable. There was

describing as Charming" in the
hope that he does not make pub
lie exhibitions of some of the pic
lures he has taken.
In the five mile climb from the
mine-to which one drives-to the
lake, the first mile, though by nc
means bad, is easily the worst. The
whole five-mile walk is bower, Z

Cooperation
Is Urged
AS Duty
Miss Earlene White
,Women's Congress
Speaker.

~o-PERATIoN as q means OF
, I accelerating the progress OF
civilization was urged by Miss
~ Earlene White. president Of
tho National Federation of Business
and Professional Women. in a speech
delivered yesterday in Budapest, Hun
gary.
Miss White is attending the congress
Of the International Federation OF
Business and Professional Women in
session in that city as . representa-
tive Of the American federation. Thir-
ty countries are represented at the
congress.
LET us develop corporation be-
tween womens organizations in all
countries" Miss White said. then
between all international groups. Next
let us cooperate better with mems
organizations. and finally let us use
our influence to see that our ma
tion co-operates with other nations.
The result will be the dawning OF a
new day and a widespread develop
ment of human security and human
happiness. Cooperation should be
the keynote of the efforts OF women's s
organizations all over the world"
Mentioning the international con-
ference held in March at Chatham
House, London, under the auspices
of the Carnegie Endowment for In
ternational Peace. Miss White point
ed out that mems organizations were
working on the recommendations
adopted there and that they formed
the basis of the foreign policy OF Sec
retary Hull.
"Just as mems organizations are
working for international understand
Ing and Justice for the removal OF the
economic causes of war. so women's
ORGANIZATIONS must work." she stated.
I'VE must work, too. for the strength
eninr of the International Labor Once
at Geneva, 50 as to evolve peaceful
wage and hour adjustments of benefit
to the workers of all countries and
q stabilizing factor In the industries
of all nations. Women's organizat tions,
with their superior advantages, should
most certainly be working along these
same constructive lines.
I'VE must take of the mental
binders we wear when we are looking
at other peoples countries" she con-
tinued. and come to look upon all
the nations of the world as q part
Of the family Of nations.
Those of us who live in countries
~,baro tho enual SUFFRAGE hattie has
been won must be more interested
and alert in helping to fight the
good fight for other women's enfran-
chisement.
I'VE must think how best to ad-
vance women for high political and
appointive Office in our respective
countries, but we must be certain
not to advocate the elevation of women
who are not as well qualified as men"
