1 wish to express my gratitude. for
the loyalty which was shown last
Monday night when all those fire
trucks came to my rescue during, my
distress. For a while It looked like
not only my buildings might be de-
stroyed. but half the business sec
tiOn of the town was in danger. AL
though our boys were doing won
lers and holding the fire down, I
must say 1t was a wonderful relief
to me when I saw those fire fighting
boys roll in with their trucks from
Harrington. Frederick. South Bow
ers and Dover.

ARE OUR LAWMAKERS BLINDi

Three types of laws whose ten
denoy is to artificially increase re-
tail prices. and disturb the normal
balance of competition. have been
widely enacted by thestates.
/. One type is the Resale Price
Maintenance Law which permits
manufacturers of trademarked pro-
ducts in interstate commerce to fix
the minimum retail prices. This law
was given federal approval. through
passage of the Miller-Tydings bill by
the last Congress.
2. Another type is the law prohibit
ing sales below cost. now adopted in
fifteen states.
3. The third type is the Anti-Dis-
crimination law. patterned on the
federal -Patman act, Under
this. law. various merchandising
techniques whose tendency was to
reduce the cost-spread. have been
outlawed.
The danger Of such legislation is
gradually becoming evident, Surveys
indicate that after a state passes a
resale price maintenance law. for
example. the cost to the consumer
of trade-marked goods rises. aThe
increase on single purchase may
be small. but the yearly total for 4
family can run into comparatively
large sums. And the amount involved
for the country as whole is tre-
mendous. and reaches far into the
The trouble with all such legisla-
tive trends is that the sponsors OF
restrictive laws, swayed by enthusi
asm. inevitably go too far. In at
to correct a small abuse,
they create greater abuses. And tht
consumer is stuck every time.
Neither manufacturers. merchants
nor anyone else can long benefit from |
laws which initiate prices and lower
he public's capacity TO buy.

Every Monday, the year around, is
registration day at the Butte Business
College, when new students are started
upon their courses. Established i 1880
year, in which time 10000 pupils have
enrolled, over $1,000 of whom have CON-
pleted the business course and earned
their diplomas.
More than a business school, the in
stitution offers grade school subjects as
well as a complete high school course,
for which the same credits and diploma
credited high school in the state. And,
extending into the college field, the
school offers a course in higher &C
counting and higher mathematics cor
responding to the four year accounting
course Of a university. Its purpose is
nations. These facilities for rounding
out grade school and high school
studies, or fitting ones self for the
difficult role of certified public &C
cOuntant. are what keep an average Of
500 young people in daily class attend
ance. In addition, night classes as we'll
as day, extending through IL months
instead of nine, allow the student to
finish his training in the shortest pos
sible time.
Discipline is the means, business eff
ficiency the goal, of the Butte Business
College commercial school proper; dis
cipline that is attained not through any
hard and fast rules of conduct, but
through personal attention to every
pupil that metes out to him each
morning, work that will keep him &C.

that comes from accurate instruction

day and night, students have access to
adding and posting machines, book
keeping, billing, calculating machines,
as well as dictaphones, an array that
represent an investment of $17.500.
The employment or placement bu-
reau of the school is ever at the
students command. Last year 1906 calls
for office workers were filled, taking
all eligible students, until at last, out
siders were drafted, put through ex-
aminations, to determine their com
petence, and assigned to the remaining
posts. Of rs students taking civil serv-
ice examinations, 68 accepted and en-
tered government employ.
Upon all young people of the state
contemplating a business training, A.
F.. Rice, founder and president of the
Butte Business College, would urge that
they attend Montana business schools,
and take their positions here. Montana
schools are peers of any in the entire
northwest, he declares, and salaries
generally on a higher level, so that
whatever young people may feel they
are gaining in new environment, is
most often offset in the financial re-
wards to be found at home.
You do not have to leave your own
state to get the very best in commercial
education. The Butte Business College,

Through the educational phases
of the AAA range program, Rose
bud county stockmen are becoming
more "graSS conscious than ever
the necessity of limited stocking to
conserve the range, says Frank
Barnum, county extension agent.
That farmers and stockmen in the
county are taking definite measures to
improve range conditions, Barnum
points to the large number who are
taking advantage of the payments pro-
vided in the range program to practice
deferred grazing. AS a result, he said,
these projected areas of the range are
showing considerable progress toward
reSeeding and general Improvement.
However, he adds, several years of fav-
orable moisture will be needed to restore
a normal grass cover in the worst areas.
This season most rancherS were able
to salvage enough short grain and corn
which, with Russian thistles, will carry
their stock through the winter. In adj
dition, considerable feed was produced
on irrigated lands and this will be suf-
ficient so that, barring an unusually
severe winter, little feed will need to
amount of concentrates.
Among other steps which ranchers
have taken toward the rebuilding Of
feed supplies are the seeding of crested
WheatgraSS for a seed supply which
will later be planted on range land,
making new seedlings of alfalfa on ir-
rigated and creek bottom lands, and
seeding of late forage crops such as
corn, sudan grass and cane.
In summing up range and feed on
ditions in Rosebud county, Barnum
points out that although not enough
grass will be left to carry stock through
1888 in the event of another drouth,
still the outlook is more favorable for
continued improvement than it has
been for some time.

fact.

boys. The twins are identical. The
nurses at st. James hospital have them
they know which is which.
Now it's about time to christen the

prefers Tom and Jerry.
And that's what the trouble is about.
