Thai Republican Program, Committee Report Is Very
 Similar 10 1936 Platform
 Ofthe Democratic paril
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, March 12. - Ex- cept in tone of voice, there is so much similarity between Glenn Franks Republican program com mittee report and the Democratic platform of 1886, as enlarged upon since, that the likenesses are at least as striking as the differences. Compare the core of the two documents:
 Foreign Policy
 Republican - "Scrupulous neu- trality." Democratic-"Tr neu- trality." Republican-Defense of ficient military force to resist ag- the hemisphere. Democratic-Suf ficinet military force to resist ag- gression., Both urge keeping out of war by avoiding melting, inci- dents, commitments, or danger ous emotions.
 Agriculture
 Both hunt increased markets for agriculture at home and abroad. Both are for reciprocal trade nego- tiation, although the Republicans would subject each agreement to congressional ratification. Secretary of State Hull says that would kill the program. Both would keep down excess production by acreage con- trol. and both would boost farm returns by subsidies so long as nec- essary.
 Business
 Each lambasts the other spir- itedly for mumbo- jumbo rela- tionships with business. The Re- publican program would foster private enterprise by protective rather than restrictive" govern mental measures. The COP. calls for a socially protective frame work of regulation" The Demo- cratic platform says business is its own worst restriction, and urges ending monopolistic restrictions on trade
 Government Finance
 Republican-20 percent reduc- ton in Federal spending. Bal anced budget by 1922. Democratic platform-"R Reduce expenses" and bring balanced budget "at the earliest possible moment
 Taxes
 Republican-Cut high personal income surtax rates, abolish cer- tain business levies, make future

other edibles we'll protected in
tightly-closed cans, and bears
make their lunches in the for
est or occasionally at the gar

HAS loo, OOOTH VISITOR

Glacier National parks 1OO,-
000th visitor of the 1910 season
arrived on Monday, July 29. She
was Mrs. A. E. Clauson, of For
est City, Iowa.
Mrs. ClauSOn came in through
the west entrance in the FAM
lily car, driven by Mr. Clauson,
who is proprietor of a depart
ment store at Forest City. With
them rode their daughter, Miss
Gretchen ClauSon, and Harley
Dean Hanson, who is the son of
Mr.. Clauson's business partner!
This is the first time that
anything like this ever hap
pened to mel" Mrs. Clauson ex-
claimed when she was presen-
ted with a picture of St. Mary
lake with the compliments OF
Park Superintendent D. S. Lib
hey and told that she was Wis
itor No. 100000.
The; Clausons were making a
return to Glacier, which they
discovered" last year on their
annual vacation trip through
the West. At that time they al
so visited Yellowstone, yosemite,
and Crater Lake National parks.
Mrs. Clauson recalled, as her
most thrilling experience of last
years visit, watching the sun
set on Lake Mcdonald as it
painted the sky orange and the
mountains purple.
'Mr. Clauson liked the Many
Glacier region best of all. 1.-THE

Nautical Novelties

To far-off Burma have gone
Navy purchase orders for 1000
tons of "carpeting" or teak
wood, which is to be used for
covering the weather decks Of
the new battleships under con-
struction. The Oldest material
known in the building in
dustry, teak has withstood the
competition of all other woods
for weather decking. Numerous
natural and synthetic materials
have been tried and found
wanting. The all-around char
acteristics of teak are such that
despite its high initial cost, it
is the cheapest as well as the
best.
Teak is a "slow" wood - slow
to wear out in use; slow to
grow. Natural forest teak wood
trees are not fit. to be felled
until they attain an age of about
$50 years. Slow also IS. the pro
cess of teak-tree foresters. From
the time. of "girdling'" a leak
tree, until it is .felled, drawn
by elephant power to a. river
and finally milled, as much as
IS years elapse before it is made
into merchantahle ship. deck
ing, flooring and the like.
Teak is a popular wood in. the
ship building industry, prfncip-
ally because OF. its, amazing dur
ability. In the Orient it IS said
to be good for a thousand
years" A teak log recently or:
rived at a Rangoon mill marked
with the sign of the King of
Burma, deceased more than fif-
ty years. Enroute from the for
est, it had been begged during
several decades and yet was in
first class condition for milling.
No wood other than teak can
stand continuous or intermit-
tent soaking in fresh or salt
water. Thus it is the priced
weather-deck planking.

FIVE DAY RODEO
=: AT BILLINGS FAIR
! CLIMAXES SEASON

Although it is only one of many
notable features of a mammoth ex-
position, yet the Rodeo held an
nually in connection with the
Midland Empire Fair at Billings
has already taken rank as one of
the outstanding shows of the West
which brings to a grand climax
the summer season of similar
events staged successfully by
many towns in the Midland EN-
pire and elsewhere throughout the
cattle country.
The Rodeo again this year will
last for five days-the first five
days of the Fair starting Monday,
August 18th, and will be under
the direction as heretofore of the
famous arena im~prtsario, Leo J,
Cremer. This assures that the
spectators will see in action the
widest critters ob;&inable, and
the fact that the cash prizes Of
fered total twenty-five hundred
dollars assures that the cream of
the riders, bulldoggers, and ro-
pers of the country will be on
hand. in fact, the arena contests
every afternoon will be a battle
of champions and the results will
go toward determining the win
ners of the national championship
awards made by the rodeo asso-
citation of America of which the
Midland Empire Fair is a member.
Every event will be a contest
and these will include bronze rid
ing, bulldogging, calf-roping, and
bull riding, also amateur bronc
riding for the boys from Montana
and northern Wyoming. In addi-
ton the specially acts will present
a galaxy of star offerings-trick
roping, and riding, jumping hor-
ses, high school horses, and other
top-fight numbers. Each arena
program for the five days will be
q complete Rodeo in itself.
