The crowd would gather in the
narrow streets of the ghetto to
select the Purim-king, some clever
and sharp-tOngued individual who
could serve as master of the rev.
els. In the tradition of the Christ
ian carnival king, the King Of
Fools, he and his followers spared
NO one in their pranks and in
their jests. The rabbis and the
community leaders, the prayers
and the Talmud all served equally
as fodder for their wit. In the
thrOng that followed at their heels
there were many in masquerade
men attired as women and women
as men. The costume was lent all
the more SAVIOR by the fact that
it was ordinarily forbidden by law,

Sage and Soil
By Mrs. Paul Schuller

If there ever was a beautiful
day, it was Tuesday, and Mon
tana takes the prize for bright,
blue January weather.
Well, the past few days have
been actively spent on rural
electrification.
Really, it is a smile about
neighborS sometimes when sud-
denly on your road of human
relations you find the detour
sign: Everybody for himself
and the devil for us ALL"
Again, we the people of the
upper Big Horn valley are told
none too sweetly, we are a pain
in the neck with our bad roads
and no telephones. The projects
can go merrily on their way
without us.
Why? Because we are asleep,
and of course the dream of good
refrigeration, heat, when the
doctor prescribes it, pumping,
washing and ironing can come
from nothing but high tension
lines at a decent cost. More
than one litter of pigs, calves
and colts are saved through a
good safe light in the barn,
Chickens can be brooded in the
height of sanitation with cleo
tricity.
There is nothing cleaner,
quicker and safer to cook with
than electricity.
It is no luxury to own good
furniture and rugs when you
can clean them with so little
effort with electricity.
The slogan of every upper
Big Horn family should be "Give
me a light that I may see."
Give me time and energy
and I could write a volume on
electricity. But in a few words
let me ask you to use electric
ity at 1925 minimum a month
and see if you would do without
it at any price.
How to get it? If you and
your neighbors, will sign, pres
to, it's done. The more, the bet
ter and cheaper electricity.
Some very interesting reading
can be found in bulletins per-
tanning to finance and manage
ment of our public schools here
in Montana. These are available
through the office of the Coun-
ty Agent or by writing to Boze-
man.

Q&M

We have just read an article
voicing complaint of a farmer
against the Soil Conservation
program because it does not
reward the farmer who has
consistently followed the prac-
tees of good farming in the
past and as a result he receives
little or nothing from the So
called conservation program"
Lives there anyone so naive
so Simple-So unsuspecting, as
to harbor the idea that the So
called conservation program was
ever conceived for any other
purpose than to obtain the farm
vote and regiment the farmer
so that in the future he could
be kept under control economic
tally and politically?
A great many people have the
thought that the government is
supporting the sugar industry
through the bonus (so-called)
paid to the beet farmers. The
truth of the matter is that the
sugar program is the only one
of the government collection
that is self-supporting. The
money to pay this bonus comes
from an excise tax levied on
every bag of sugar and is paid
by the grower and the process
sor. This money goes into the
U. S. Treasury and in order to
evade the decision of the Su-
preme Court tax is appropria-
ted by the Congress to the SUI
gar administration to be dis
tributed to the beet and cane
growers on the basis of the
sugar content of the beets or
cane. BY pulling the old two
dollar tariff down to ninety
cents the consumer was kept
from suuawkin' and the poor
Cuban brothers were protected
and bequeathed a major portion
of the American sugar market.
All this was done according to
stooge Wallace) in order that
I the farmers could sell 'em a lot
J of corn and hog products an
other stuff in exchange for
their SUGAR. HOGS ARE NOW
WORTH FIVE CENTS per pound
and the consumer is buying his
sugar cheaper than ever, an
the beet sugar professor is do
ing verv nicely, thank you, an
the beet grower is the goat.
Politically, of course, beet grow
ers in the U. S. don't add up
to very many votes and no one
else cares a damn as long as
their names on the beet grow
ers check.
The real reason for the tear
stained sentiment directed to-
wards the poor Cubans" is the
divine sanctitv of the American
dollars that are invested there.
If things should get to a rev.
dictionary stage down there it
would be a black-out for all
American money invested "a la,
American oil properties in Mex
ico) therefore it would be less
painful to sacrifice the beet
sugar industry in this country
and keep Cuba on an even
TVCl. LII oUl1Cl WO1tS, ~ 1oll I
TRADE with Cuba but INVEST
MENTS in Cuba that are in
danger.
If we let those free trade
fanatics 90 ahead with their
secret reciprocity stuff a while
longer the farmers in this coun-
try will just be another bunch
of poems. The radio this morn
ing quoted hogs in Canada SELL
ing around eight cents per
pound. Over here they are
around five cents. Canadians
can send cattle into this coun-
:trv by reciprocal agreement-so
what in hell is the matter with
! orr hogs?-Thev can compete
with us in our American cattle
market but we can not compete
with them in their hog market.

have shown me plainly that no
man can spend public school
money without at least six
people knowing why and where.
These said people are elected,
if you please, by I'VE the
people,"
Now for a little reasoning, if
we look over our past history,
we, as a county of school-going
youngsters have grown. Natur-
ally we needed new schools
which in turn called for new
teachers, and finances. It took
money, lots of money-two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars
to be exact, and still if you
look at the records you'll find
only $4,000 charged to local
taxpayers.
It's going to bend us in a pc
culiar shape to get out of debt
at that, maybe a few registered
warrants for crutches. In 1921
and 1922 7 worked for District
9 at Worland, Wyo., and all the
| warrants were registered.
It is worth a lot to me for
my three young hopefuls to be
in a well-ventillated, we'll
taught, well-heated school, said
school having sewage and a
janitor, yes they went to the
little Red school house, with
outside sanitation, which isn't
exactly conductive of good liv-
ing.
Ours is one of the few dis
tricts where no fatal accidents
in school bus lines have &C.
Cured.
Out our way, due to bad roads
it costs a little more to run the
buses, but we have the cream
of the crop in drivers and ma
chimes.
If shopping around, for school
material. new teachers, is a
crime. Then crime pays big
dividends. When I say new
! teachers. don't think for one
minute I mean boost any teach
er out.
There should be a trade sys-
tenn among schools of the same
standing, that teachers could
change without whispered why's
and what's. Don't think for one
second that iii Abner or Lettie
wouldn't thrive on a new teach
er or visa versa. Education is a
very mechanical part of their
young lives.
Teaching is a low paid noble
profession. It takes more out of
the individual than he Or she
can get back in an average life
time.
In all systems there are sup
erintendents and principals,
They are put there to boss the
works, and I wouldn't give two
bits a carload for the fellow
that doesn't live up to his or
her job. A good boss isn't a
, stuffed shirt who puts pressure
in spots or an "Oh, I see
after I fell in the ditch" indiv-
jdual. He is the fellow that,
through a little cooperation,
puts out a little human behav-
ior to our young hopefulS.
If you want a big headache
run for the school board posi-
ton. open this spring. There's
going to be an election.
A very promising, young man
said to me eff you really want
to accomplish anything these
days, you have to take an aw-
full lot, and watch out for your
self, don't imagine on a salary
you are a philanthropist."
I wonder if he isn't just about
right.

LEECHES KILL DUCKS.

Last year botulism caused by stag
mated waters killed thousands upon
thousands of ducks In Montana
this year = new enemy is attacking
them. Veterinarians tor the state
livestock sanitary board and they
found that leeches had clogged the
nasal passages Of ducks found dead
IN Broadwater and Red Lodge coun-
ties.

cialist In Kentucky for complete
investigation. The state 6Yeterinar-
ians said the leeches apparently had
entered the nasal passages, had fill
ed up on blood, blocking the air pas
sages, and had smothered the ducks.
The mildneSs Of the late fall and
early winter caused far greater
than usual number of ducks to win
ter in Montana. It is believed the
ducks were weakened by the sud-
den severe cold spell, and were at
tackled by the leeches while in poor
physical condition.
