never have financed the Sidney prof
ect or the Huntley project.
Due to Senator Murrays efforts
alone, the federal government is build
ing the Buffalo Rapids project. Sta
tisticians compute the average cost of
placing land under irrigation in Mon
tana at $500 the acre. Eighty thou
sand acres is to be watered by the
Buffalo Rapids project. Can this
state ever pay for such project for
land now dwelt on by few voters for
the party in power?
The so-called private business chief
tains that are going to save the ma
ton from unemployment, put two
chickens in every garage, and every
automobile in a pot, as was done by
President Hoover, will not invest in
state-planned irrigation districts. The
litigation about bankrupt irrigation
district bonds in this state runs into
many million dollars.
The idea is not logical that the
treasury of this state can do much
for handling the water of the Mis-
souri,, or do anything noteworthy to
employ the As or so thousand veterans
soon to be welcomed home in honor,
glory, and to become apple vendors
if the federal government does not
build an NJ V. A, and the other river
improvements requested by President
Roosevelt.
The governor says that the state
has much money.
A hoax that Barnum, in his life,
Would have been proud of is being
peddled loudly; that since Governor
Ford took office, the fiscal affairs of
the state have vastly improved The
truth is, they are just about as rotten
as for 80 years before.
The press, that the governor spins
Tor that spins the governor), head
lars more in the general fund than
when the governor took office. The
spice of that is that it is true; the
Joker is where the increment came
from Do the overlords think the
electors of Montana should all be in
the home for the feeble minded? The
increase in the general fund is caused
by abolition of many special funds.
The following quotation from the
act of the legislature, February 8,
1941, is tiresome reading, but the gov
ernor praises his own work about the
General Fund on the presumption that
the average voter is ignorant of how
the General Fund" has been in
creased.

County Tin Can
Collection SET

Every community in Macomb
County is being asked to partici-
ipate in countrywide tin can
collection set for Saturday,
April Is, by Harry w. McMil-
Ian, of East Detroit, Macomb
County Salvage chairman.
Calling attention TO the fact
that tin is the most critical
metal at present, and there is no
substitute for it, Mcmillan urges
a thorough collection. Tin pro-
tects health, saves lives and is
a fighting metal, he points
out.
HouSeholders in each commun-
ity are asked TO wash all cans
thoroughly. remove labels, and
cut both ends and fold them in
side before flattening the can.
The big tin drive. which will
be arranged locally by sub-com-
mittecs in each community, will
cover RIOS eville, st. Clair
Shores, Baseline, Van Dyke,
Center Line, Warren Township,
Warren. East Detroit. Fraser,

started in an alcove.
Chief Wiegand said he asked

so that the cauSe-electric Wir-

The fire was well started when
Center Line firemen arrived, but
they succeeded in saving the

RELIC OF WAR SERVES CHURCH
Groced Jungle Altar

ROSEVILLE - A dark ma
hogany Bible stand, intricately
hand carved and inlsid with
mother of pearl, which once
graced mission altar on a
South Pacific island and has
been worn smooth by the hands
of countless unknown priests or
missionaries, will be re-dedi-
Gated TO the service of Chris
tianity Sunday at Trinity Meth
odist Church, 1l-Mile at Fern
wood.
II came 10 pastor, Rev Mel
bourne |. Johnson, from a fight
in Marine who purchased it
with barter goods from a native
islander near Bougainville. The
history or background Of the
sanctified relic is unknown. I'm
doubtedly it belonged to a mis-
sionary who labored among the
natives many years ago. What
happened to his humble church
and altar, or TO the missionary
himself, is a story lost in the
turmoil of war.
FIGHTING DONOR
The donor is First Sgt, Vur-
nal V. Bartlett, %, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Travis Bartlett, of
256l5 Hoffmey er, Roseville.
Sergeant Bartlett was for
merly a gunnery sergeant, but
has been driving an amphibian
in the many Marine Corps
landings. He came through the
Bougainville landing and heavy
skirmishing unscathed and has
been in several other major en-
gagements.
A God-fearing, churchgoing
man, he wrote to his parents
that he had obtained the Bible
stand for Trinity Methodist
Church, in appreciation of the
church sending him air mail
stamps and other consoling gifts.
Vurnal is member OF a
family which might be termed
1.-The Fighting Bartletts."

in other cities, she related, cour-
teously gave her directions
