Answer: In some forms of If.
regularity OF the heart, due to
what Is known rs fertilization, some

Student Gives His

Patriotism

Herewith is the answer given by
Libby student in the civics class
to the question, What Is Patriot
ism?" Probably many Of our adult
readers could read the definition
and profit by it, and many other:
could possibly not give one SO good
Wrote Charles POPE. the student
in answer to the question.
Patriotism means love for
ones country i'm the sense that
it was established by our fore
fathers. A patriot is looked up
on as one who loves his country
as a son loves his father. This
love of country, or patriotism,
is to be shown not merely by
saluting the flag or singing the
national anthem, but by work
ing day after day in such a
manner as to be helpful to all
other citizens, and feeling deep
ly and knowing that in this
manner each SHALL gain the
most in life, liberty and happi-

Distant Peru

A most unusual shipment
went out of Libby this week.
It was a consignment of East
ern Brook trout eggs, shipped
out by X. q, Drew of Troy In
cooperation with the Libby
state fish hatchery. The un-
usual part of it is that the
shipment, consisting Of $4,000
eggs, was destined for Peru,
South America.
The eggs were first shipped
to Washington, d. G., and will
go from there to Peru by air

shipment resulted from the pro-
gram of closer cooperation be-

PROGRAM FOR REDUCTION OF
THE NORTHERN YELLOWSTONE
ELK HERD

The purpose of the elk reduc-
ton program" is to protect the so
called northern herd" in Yellow
stone National Park by bringing its
total number within the limits Of
the available winter food supply.
The question of furnishing meat to
any agency or group is purely in
cidental although it is considered
desirable not to waste food of this
type in a time of shortage.
The northern elk herd ranges ~
summer through most Of Yellow
tone National Park south Of Thoro-
fare Creek and Snake River. &c
cupying a much smaller area IN
winter, the animals concentrate on
winter range which lies along the
northern boundary of the park,
both within the park and in the
adjacent Absaroka National Forest.
For over Is years, the question
of conservation and management OF
this herd has been debated. Wide
spread discussion started about the
time of World War I because Of the
enormous "winter-kilr' of animals

The J. Neils Lumber Company
will at once begin construction OF q
pant for the manufacture OF Pres
to-Log fuel. The company has had
on file for some time with the War
Production Board an application for
such construction and consent has
now been granted. Work on the
plant will begin Immediately, said
Walter Neils, general manager, and
if weather remains favorable the
construction ought to be completed
in go days. The new plant will be
located just east of the planning
mill
The necessary machinery has
been manufactured except that it
still has to be assembled
The new industry will have
production of "a tons daily. ALL
material going into the Logs has
to be dry and therefore only the
shavings from the planning mill carr
be used. The company plans to sup
ply the local market first and after
that is taken care of it will accept
orders for shipment.
Pres-to-Log fuel is said to be
highly efficient, burns easily and
steadily. and leaves very little ash
Wherever it is available there is a
heavy demand for it.
