TWAS early on a bright January
i morning. The only living
thing in sight at Bileer's Landing
were two old men and three
white herons. Everything else
was under cover.
One old man came rowing down
the river IN battered cypress
skiff. the other was polishing the
brasses on 2S-foot power boat
tied M AZ a dock beside a very
small house and the herons were
fishing among the cypress knees N
the CLASSY shadows.

there was a touch Of vagueneSs
about some of his movements. He
was Capn Jeb Merridale---but the
only thing he was captain of now
was the boat beneath his feet. and
that hadn't been away from the
dock since the high winds started
back in late August.

sides the power boat. he had the
two-room house above the dock
and a pension from somewhere
that wasn't quite enough TO eat
on. and that was all he had. That
and a dander that wouldn't go
down. Capn Jeb Merridale flew
his dander like the United States
flag on the pole above his house.
And he wished his neighbors
would quit worrying about him.
The going was tough enough with
out being eternally worried. They
were all as poor themselves as
f1eas on a rock-whHt could they
do for anybody else? He'd make
port. thank you. in his own way
somehow or other-like he always
had.
The old man in the skif came
alongside and said good morning.
''Mornin'," said Capn Merri-
dale.

for sale"
The battered old skiff bumped
up gently against the power boat,
Cap'n Merridale looked the other
man over carefully. He was a
Northerner. He didn't look like
he had the 5000 the captain was
asking for his boat. nor yet half
of il.
Cap'n Merridale was sick at
heart that morning and scared
scared down into the deep places
where a man really lives. Life
was edging him steadily toward
the relief rolls-unless he could
sell that boat.

DEAL Is FINISHED

The boat was sold and the other
old man had gone off in her in
side of half an hour. He had had
a bill of sale and a fountain pen
and 55 $50 bills in his pockets.
Cap'n Merridale had had the
papers of ownership and
of registration. They
had exchanged and signed and the
other old man had paid. and now
he was gone. The wake he had
left still glittered on the river.
Cap'n Merridale sat on an old
tarpaulin-covered automobile seat
on his dock and stared at it.. 1t

p NEW
RADIO PROGRAM

It's a long climb up the mu-
steal scale from playing a CALI
ope on a Missouri shoWboat to
directing some of radios biggest
musical shows. But that is the
climb Victor Arden, musical di-
rector for the new program
sponsored by The Montana Po-
Wer company. Hot Dates in
History" has made. And he
doesn't even have to sell pea
nuts between performances as
he did back in his shoWboat
days.
Although most of Arden's
work is now as radio orchestra
director, he is probably best
known as being half of the IA
nous tWo-piano team of Gilman
and Arden. He first met Gilman
in 1919, when both were making
piano rolls, and the two became
the first popular piano team
along Broadway. One of their
early hits was Lady Be Good"
the vehicle that started Fred
AStaire tapping his way to fame.
Gilman and Arden began
broadcasting back in radios ear
ly days. But unlike many of the
early pioneers, their popularity
grew right along with the
broadcasting industry. In 1889
when radio was swinging into
its full stride, Arden began
conducting orchestras in addi-
ton to his double piano work.
Since that time, his orchestra
has been constantly identified
with radio.
His present schedule includes
Hot Dates in History" which
will be heard Sunday evenings
over seven Montana stations,
starting Sept. IA. Thirty-nine
weekly broadcasts will drama
tie historic events in words
and music. Such interesting and
significant subjects as the Birth
of the Star Spangled Banner,
the Landing of Columbus, the
First Pony Express and many
others will be heard in this ser
les sponsored by the Montana
Power company.

Weaver To Speak
Of VIEW Proqrdm

Unity is Americas best inSur-
ance against the internal decay
which leads to the collapse OF
democracy, declares Charles A.
Weaver, Billings attorney, who
is scheduled to deliver the tenth
in a series of Speak Up For De-
mocracy" radio talks to be
broadcast over station kGH at
9:45 P. M. Thursday, Sept. IL
under the sponsorship of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars OF
the United States.
Unity for Victory" provides
the theme for the address by
Mr.. weaver, who will speak as
AmericaniSm officer for Mon
tana and under the auspices of
the Laurel and BriGger posts
of the V.F.W., %Stressing an ap-
peal to individual citizens to do
their part in Americas national
defense program through the
promotion of a good nelghbor"
policy within the borders of our
own country.
The Speak Up for Democ-
racy" campaign to strengthen
faith in Amerlcanism was
launched by the Veterans OF
Foerign Wars of the United
States in December, 1910. I'm
der the supervision of national
headquarters in Kansas City,
Mo-, and in cooperation with
the radio industry of the nation,
VIEW. speakers broadcast a talk
on the eleventh day of each
month. This date was selected
in commemoration of the eleV-
enth hour, of the eleventh day,
of the eleventh month in 1918
when the Armistice brought an
end to hostilities for the A.E.F.
On Sept. II, VIEW. speakers
will be heard over a total of
1925 radio stations. It is eSti-
mated these AmericaniSm talks
are reaching the ears of at least
40 million persons. Because they
are being broadcast over local
stations at different hours OF
the day, these monthly radio
Am er ic a nj S m bombardments
succeed in reaching different
groups of radio listeners with
varying listening habits.
In congratulating the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars of the Uni
ted States upon the effective
ness of this radio project, Ru-
pert Hughes, noted author and
playwright, recently referred to
this Speak Up for Democracy"
program as "A magnificent idea
for awakening and stimulating
patriotic order at a time when
it needs to be kindled and re-
kindled without CESSATION
