Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Warren, have
been celebrating Christmas in Butte
more than so years Mr.. Warren came
to Butte in 1886, while his wife came
in 1888
Christmas was a sacred day then,
said Mr.. Warren. 1T wasn't CONNER
cialized like it is now. and as for a
good time, think we had more real
ENJOYMENT than the younger genera
ton does today
Mr.. Warren, who is native of
Cornwall, England, said that singing
of Christmas carols played a promi-
merit part in celebrating the yule sea-
son when he was a young Butte miner.
"A group of us would get together
about 10 days before Christmas and
practice up on our carol singing" he
said. Then on Christmas eve, we
would go from house to house in the
community and serenade those inside
We were always invited in for a few
minutes OF Christmas feStivity and re-
freshments. Intoxicants were out of the
question and no one ever thought of
such thing as getting drunk"
Christmas day saw reunions of fam
lilies and gathering of the various
clans.

Sixty years Of being happily
married will be the remarkable
goal reached by Mr.. and Mrs.
Marvin w. Trask, well known and
beloved pioneer residents of Mon
tana and Deer Lodge. Monday.
Dec. %. Mr.. and Mrs. Trask were
married in Deer Lodge at st.
James Episcopal church Dec. %,
1880. They were the second couple
to be married in the church. Rev.
H. c. Hutching officiated.
Attendants were Miss Annie Lawson
and William Hawley. both Of whom
have since passed away.
Mrs. TraSk came TO Montana In 1870
and Mr.. Trask arrived here the previ

In addition to the distinction Of re-
naming married for over half a CEN

In their present home all but the first
eight months of their marriage At
first the comfortable Trask home was
little more than a cabin and frame

design and coloring unattainable in
shops these days and silver and glass
ware which would be a delight 10 a
collector of lovely things Mrs. Trask
has used the articles throughout the
years and their condition speaks well
of her excellent housekeeping.
Another distinction which the couple
enjoys is the fact that last year Mr..
Trask celebrated the 10th year of be-
ing the owner and operator of the
same hardware business. He is recog-
nized as the oldest hardware dealer in
the United States in point of active
service The store is still one of Deer

crops, or parity if that is higher, and
the world price. Provisions would be
made to favor the family-sized farm.
These certificates would be sold for
the farmers to professors of the
crops, and the proceeds from the sale
presumably would combine with the
market price to give the farmer par
ity income.
Critics of the plan object to it as
imposing a processing tax, such as
was found unconstitutional, but its
advocates deny this charge.
There is still another cost-of-pro-
duction plan being urged in Congress
by the Farmers Guild which claims
to be sponsoring the original Farm
ers' Union plan.
When farm legislation comes up for
consideration there will be an effort
made to find the common ground
among all these proposals and work
out amendments to the AAA which
will give farmers what they all agree
they need-prices that will give them
living wage for their labor.

OUTLOOK IN 1871

What is the outlook for Garrett
county citizens for 1911? With the
beginning of the new year all who
must earn their living, which means
practically everyone, may well wonder
what opportunities will present them
selves in the new year.
Garrett county must depend upon
one of five things, farming, lumber
ing, mining, recreation and other in
dustries.
From the county agents annual re-
port the farmers are using improved
practices but the prices for their prod
ucts are not particularly attractive.
Those in mining and numbering have
prospects for better business than in
the previous few years, due largely to
defense needs.
Throughout the past year Garrett
county has received much favorable
publicity in the state and elsewhere
concerning its recreation advantages
for both summer and winter, and the
year 1871 may see these opportunities
expanded and more and more people
coming here to take advantage of
them.
The county is clean" on industries.
There are few, it is true, but organ
izations might well work toward
bringing in additional activities here
that would create regular payrolls. A
start was made in 1910 The Carna-
ton company constructed its $4,000
plant and is now accepting fresh milk
in unlimited quantities, thereby Gre
ating a regular payroll for farmers
who accepted this opportunity. Any
expansion here in dairy cattle will net
a safe return on the investment.
A stave mill was established here
in 1910 that is furnishing employment
to about SO people, and this Will con-
tinue for several years. But Garrett
county needs additional industries,
nothing gigantic necessarily but sew
eral small concerns that will furnish
regular employment to young men
and women.
With all the other activities here,
and few additional ones, Garrett
county could look into the future with
satisfaction. It's citizens are capable
of making this picture look bright or
gloomy, as they choose.

When School Started Again and
You Went to Play With Billy

One of the most memorable things
about the holiday season in the old
town on the river was when school
started again and you went over to
the other end of town to play once
more with Billy and to see what he
got for Christmas and tell him all
about what you got, and then make
him promise to come over to your
house on Saturday and see your
things and help you play with them.
1t was the darndest joy to sit down
and look over the books he got and to
examine his chemical set and his am
ateur Photographic outfit. Then Sat
urday would come and you would have
him with you until after lunch and
almost all the afternoon, and he'd
show you how to get things going
with your printing press and your
tool chest and how to coast down hill
in your express wagon the same as
on sled. He knew how to sit in the
front and hold the tongue of the
wagon close up against the dash
board so he could guide the wagon on
its way down hill-just like steering
boat with a rudder. Then there was
the railroad train, with its real tracks
for the tin cars and the iron locomo-
tive to run on. There were some
fpaiub+ corc apd baormaoa oorc oc ,roIl
as passenger coaches and some of
them bore the names of the great
railroads of the Countrywide South
ern Pacific, the Pennsylvania the
Baltimore & Ohio, the Norfolk and
Western, the Lehigh Valley, and lots
of others-and it was such fun to cut
out figures of men and women from
magazines and fix them up in the
windows of the passenger coaches so
they would look like real people sit
ting there. You filled the tender of
the engine with tiny pieces of real
coal and you loaded the freight cars
with Jumps of sugar and building
blocks, and everything went whirring
and plunging and whistling and blow
ing ahead in a sort of mad whirl Of
fancy and imagination on and on
through the long day, until dusk fell,
and tired legs and arms began to
weary and sleep fell upon little eyes
that were closing in the dreams of
childhood bliss.-The Bentztown Bard
in The Baltimore Sun.

that some way must be found by
which the farmer can have higher
prices in the market place"
Mr., O'Neal's proposal is favored by
cotton farmers who have suffered
most severely from loss Of foreign
markets (Mr. O'Neal is a cotton
faImer) His plan would raise prices
by having the Government authorized
to make loans up to 100 per cent of
parity on basic crops, assuming, Of
course, continued acreage control.
This would induce farmers to store
grain until consumers are willing to
pay the price farmers think they
should get-that which would give
them buying power such as they had
before the World War. Mr.. O'Neal
thinks consumers would pay the price
the loan establishes, and in that way
farmers would attain a fair price for
their goods, just as industry does
when it establishes what it regards
as fair prices.
Corn Belt farmers, however, OBJ
jected to Mr.. O'Neal's proposal for
100 per cent parity loans when he
put it before them. If feed costs arc
to be hoisted in this manner, how
could hog-feeders make a fair in
come, they asked. A compromise was
reached The Farm Bureau went on
record in behalf of loans at IS per
cent of parity, with the usual provi-
sion that there must be acreage re-
striction to prevent SURPRISES.
Other Plans Endorsed
Other farm organizations Endorsed
other plans this year. The National
Grange advocated making available
to farmers a two-price plan for crops
having an eXportable surplus. This
plan would be adopted only if two
thirds of the producers of a crop vote
for it. 1t would set up "a two-price
system which will make it possible to
market the domestically consumed
portion of the commodity at a price
comparable to that enjoyed by indus
try and labor, and enable the organ
lied producer to retain his surplus
sell it on the world market at the
world price, or release it for domestic
competitive uses if and when needed
for such purposes" according to the
committees statement.
The Farmers Union, left-wing farm
group, is pushing still another plan in
Congress. This is the income certifi-
cate plan which received favorable
consideration from Henry A. Wallace
when he was Secretary of Agricul-
ture. Like the plans put forward by
the other organizations, this one calls
for a computation of domestic re-
quirements for basic crops and price
adjustments on that portion domesti-
cally consumed. Farmers would be
given certificates covering the differ
ence to the extent of their allotments
between the cost of producing the

About $500 individual drawings are
required to make light tank, and
blueprints for a battleship weigh 80
tons. An airplane engine has 5000
parts, and there are $4,000 rivets in
the fuselage of pursuit ship.
There were 1,252,029 bicycles made

duced in 1899, the previous best year.

1t has been computed that 100000
separate items were required for the
prosecution of the last war, most of
them natural or slightly modified
commercial products. Many new items
of destruction have been added since
1918.
The junior chamber of commerce
and the town officials are cooperating
in making a small dam on Wilson
Greek, on the towns new property, at
the north edge of town, in order to
make skating place for Oakland. If
the town will furnish a spotlight there
for night skating, it would be tops.
The same group is also interested
in making small ski trail on Fergu-
sons hill, at the south edge Of town.
Before the County Commissioners
last Friday an interesting fact was
learned about playground space for
children at the elementary school. The
playing space there is 100 by 112;
21,280 square feet, or just place 6
by feet per pupil. That's not big
enough for a chicken to scratch
around in. Even with an additional lot
contemplated there wouldn't be
enough to crow about, but at least it's
a good start.

1t is interesting to look back on
1910 and see what improvements took
place. There was the construction of
the Carnation Company plant, $4,000
or more; the new Federal building,
$52,500; street widening projects COM
pleted in the business section; con-
struction of Pritts garage, the Nash
garage begun, the office and hospital
of DR.. Nance begun, homes of F. A.
Smouse, Harland Ridder, Harold
Barnes and Roy Winters completed,
new front on the West Penn office,
and the painting and improving of
many properties. There may have
been other construction too. 1t appears
that Oakland is alive and on the
move.
