ARBOR DAY LOOKS TO FUTURE

Next Tuesday is Arbor day and a special effort is being
made to stress its significance in Valley county schools.
Trees mean a great deal to us in a prairie country, both in
beauty and utility. And Arbor day is perhaps more significant
than most of us realize. In the conservative words of the en-
cyclopedia, Its scope and purpose have been greatly broad
ened. From simple exercises and the planting of single trees
to beautify public grounds, it has become the occasion for i'm
pressing on the minds of school children the importance of
forestry and for the planting of thousands of Seeding trees to
reforest otherwise waste lands"
Arbor day had its origin in a prairie state, Nebraska. An
added import is being given it in Valley county this year
Miss Ella Hammerness, county school superintendent, is urg-
ing every rural school to honor men of its community who are
in service by planting trees in the school yard.
AS we become more land-conscious, we can appreciate the
sight of a grove of trees as we drive over the rolling hills. The
superintendent expresses it something like this: We have many
holidays to observe the past - the founding of our nation, the
birthdays of its great men, the events that were turning points
in our history. But Arbor day is for looking toward the future,
to develop our instructive love for growing things, to lead to
Identification of schoolyards and to create a living, growing
reminder of men who are fighting for their country.

CARELESSNESS GROWING

Despite reduced speeds and travel, driving carelessness is
increasing and the trend in traffic accidents and fatalities is
sharply up, Gen. Charles L. Sheridan, supervisor of the Mon.
tana highway patrol, notes in his annual report.
Montana highway deaths numbered SO the last year. This
was less than some previous years but it is very high consid-
ering the decrease in traffic.
AS the supervisor says, peoples minds are on other things
now, but the trend points to a potentially dangerous condition
the war. The National Safety Council is predicting that
deaths may number $4,000 the first year after gas and
speed restrictions are removed. This is far more than the num-
of Americans who have been killed in the war.
In spite of wartime restrictions, the report shows that 10
Montana deaths resulted from excessive speed. Most of the
fatalities can be attributed to carelessness or lack of attention.
AS General Sheridan says, "The life of the future driver depends
more than ever before upon his own driving and his eternal
vigilance in avoiding the mistakes of others"

Christian Science

Everlasting Punishment" was the
subject of the lesson-sermon which
was read in all Churches of Christ,
Scientist, Sunday.
The golden text was: Cast away
from you all your transgressions,
whereby We have tra%nsgressed; and
make you a new heart and a new
spirit: for why will We die, o house
of Israeli" (Ezek. $3.50.
Among citations which comprised
the lesson-sermon was the following
from the Bible: And We shall serve
the Lord your God, and he shall
bless thy bread, and thy water; and
1 will take sickness away from the
midst of thee" (EXo. 23:25).
The lesson = sermon also included
the following from the Christian
Science textbook, Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy: Truth bestows no par
don upon error, but wipes it out in
the most effectual manner" page IL.

GROUP WOULD REPEAL PRIMARY

From Helena comes news that a group, identified with the
Democratic party, is beginning a movement seeking repeal OF
Montana's direct primary law. 1t is probable that such a move
ment will gain support from strong elements both among con-
servatives and liberals.
Many prominently identified with politics have long felt
the direct primary a bad thing. The state Federation of Labor
has gone on record as opposing the primary system, evidently
favoring the older system whereby parties selected their can
didates in convention.
Prime objection to the convention system was that it al
lowed manipulation behind the scenes that sometimes resulted
in the selection of unfit or venal men for office. But the pri-
mary system has resulted in the nomination of far more crooks
and charlatans than the convention system ever did. Few voters
realize how important the primary election is, for it is then
that we narrow down the choice for an office to three or four
candidates.
Even a cursory survey of Montana political history for the
past 20 years will reveal that many times men running on both
major tickets have been nominated who were neither honest
conservatives nor honest liberals, who betrayed their parties
and conveniently forgot their campaign pledges. 1t is the firm
conviction of a growing number of people that the level of
public service would be raised by returning to the convention
system.

Gasoline
Upper Lubricant
Urged by Dealer

Upper lubricant should be placed
in gasoline for all tractors, Mark
Watson of the Markle Transfer
company warned all tractor owners
this week. Some of the tractor
gasoline now being sold is not as
good as the gasoline of past years,
due to governmental demands on
refineries. A gum content has
caused a lot of trouble in North
Dakota and this condition is very
liable to develop in Montana" he
explains. The precaution will pre-
vent possible burning of valves or
wen running a set of pistons and
sleeves, he adds.

Great Northern Has High
Income, Low Net, for 1913

Despite record breaking revenues,
the 1943 net income of the Great
Northern railway barely exceeded
the average for the years from 1901
to 1880, stockholders were informed
by F. j. Gavin, president, in the
company's annual report.
Return on investment was re-
ported as four and four-tenths per-
cent. Dividends of two dollars a
share were paid stockholders.
Funded debt was reduced S23,-
100000 during 1913, and fixed
charges at the end of the year were
on a lower basis than at any time
since the first World War.
In order to earn about the same
net income as for the average from
1901 to 1880, the railroad had to
increase its business by S118,0O0 900.
which required the transportation
of nearly three times as much
freight and two and one-half times
as much passenger business.
Expenditures Higher
Comparing 1913 with the earlier
30-year average, wages we're $685.
100000 higher, 81, 000, 900 was paid
out for old age benefits and unem-
ployment payroll taxes. and taxes
were up S38, OO0, 900. Taxes for l943
totaled S48, 461 ,O7O, or about one
fourth of the total revenue.
Movement of grain produced in
Great Northern territory totaled
229, 900, 900 bushels, which was 80
percent more than the 1916 record.
A large part of this increase re-
presented the movement of held
yer grain.
Mr.. Gavin reported that many
measures had been adopted to make
up for manpower deficiencies, in
Guiding lengthening Of the work
week; building dormitories and
restaurants for workers in congested
areas; employing women for round
house. shop and track work; and
employing special maintenance
crews of high school boys during the
summer.
Looking toward increased activity
in the Pacific war sphere, Mr.. Gavin
said that the railroad is improving
its line on the west slope of the
mountains, relocating six
miles of railway and constructing
three tunnels totaling about 5000
feet.

1t was a diverse program and certainly showed ability. Her

ask how do you draw such fine music from these young
