The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1939-03-23

We'd like to say something about being sure thot spring
hos arrived at lost' but we ore ofroid we'd be sticking our
March % lost yeor. Just the some. all the ladies ore displaying
their new spring bonnets. and the kids ore imbering up their
thumbs for marble competitions again. ond we heor q lot about
baseball these days.
We have q little mud in Hardin too have had for the
past several weeks. as q motter Of fact: 1t seems that after
struggling around through it for q number Of years. Hardin
residents would be more thun willing TO do everything they
could to help put over this street oiing proposition.
And then maybe we mere men wouidat get bcwled out
for tracking in mud on the front room rug. Just possibly we
wouldn't be called on quite SO often to do the heavy work
The women tell us that from their point Of view, the way oiling
would help eiminote the dust alone would be worth the money
to them.
streets of ours are the garage men with wreckers that once in
q while get q towing job pulling unfortunate citizens out Of
here say that losing that business would worry him very much.
After all. with oiled streets, people would drive their cars
enough more to make up for that small loss.

We find that the publishing OF q new book, by q nan who
claims Hitler is dead, is orousng q lot Of comment in the public
press. Personally we don't see how there could be two men
with the some ove1weening ambition and ruthlessness. And
if the real Adolph Hitler has octuolly gone to his reverb we
don't see any reason 10 prefer his successor. But frankly, we
don't believe q word Of it.
We still wont the United States TO stay out OF European diff
to do something to stop Hitler, whether he is the original or
the carbon copy. If European democrocies don't wotch their

hard to stop. We continue to hope that he tries to get q bit
fresh with Russio though. Napoleon didn't have any luck
ogoinst Imperial Russia, and we don't think Hitler will find
that the Soviets will be much easier to conquer than the Czor'
It won't be long before Sam Poullos will be bringing in q
nice long string Of trout from Soap Creek. thereby urousing
the envy Of all the other fishermen in town. We still wonder
what he uses for bait.

We went travelling q bit this weekend. ond for the first
time in our lives we stayed at q hotel where wash cloths were
furnished. We've often wondered why it was that hotel op-
orators expected the guests to wash on one OF those scrdtchy
face towels that ore always found. even in the best places. SO
we ore told.
For q while we tried carrying q couple Of wash cloths
around with us, as we journeYed from place to place, but we
didn't have presence Of mind enough to wrup it up in rubber
or oiled silk, and as q consequence. whenever we unpdcked,
we found it neatly snuggled in the toe Of one OF our best
shoes. or clnging uheciondelY to the collar Of the only clean
shirt we had left.
So we extend q vote Of thanks to the manager OF the small
town hotel where we stayed, and hope thut others in his bust
ness will follow his example.

Maybe we ore prejudiced, but we ore firmly convinced
that soil conditions are q hundred percent better here than they
ore in southern Wyoming. 1t looked to us as if the ranges
were so dry that even sage brush would have q hqrd time
surviving, while in this part Of the country, water from melting
snow wus even running over the highwoY in one spot in Big
Horn county.
