a Free Country
BY RUTH TAYLOR
This is Il free country.

This is Il free country.
Sure il is-but free for what?
1t is free for work. No man has to be
what his father was before him. No
man has to work where his father
worked. In time of emergency we may
voluntarily regulate our man power
but ii is done under the laws we our
selves made, which are to be abrogated
when the need ii over.
1t is free for knowledge No man
need stay ignorant if he has the will
to learn. The history of the country
has proven that. OF course, there are
differences in educational opportunities
but the man who truly wants TO
learn, who is willing to sacrifice him
self to get ahead, can do so. No man
need stay ignorant
1t Is free for courtesy. Where each
man is counted as one, there need be
no Servile Scraping nor cOndpScending
nod. Each man is free to accord to
every other man the same courteSies of
behavior to which he is himself en-
titled 1t takes but one person to be
polite.
II is free for friendlneSS. We are
all equals under the law, bound by the
same rules and regulations. We can
therefore accord the comradeship of
citiZenry to our neighbOr, regardless of
his class, creed or color.
1t is free for integrity No man
t,., ,,l.n ,f NJ. =.
bound to another as his slave. Each
man can stand alone-incorrupt, and
loyal to the ideals to which he has
been brought up.
1t is free for thought. The unfettered
mind of man Is the secret of the adj
vanceInent of the nation. Here no man
need be told what to think of when To
think it. He blows not hot or cold as he
is ordered. He can be for or against
and, provided he keeps To the law of
the land-that selfmade law of free
men-he can think and act as ne
pleuSeS.
1t is free for belief. No man need
worship or not worship at the hehest
OF his master. Each man is responsible
to his own conscience and to his own
concept Of God. Strong in his faith, he
can stand or fall by what ne believes.
His beliefs are his own.
This is Il free country-foundrd upon
freedom and free to grow with TN"
times to Il newer and finer fultilmpnt
of the law of lberty-which is the law
of righteousness.

St0ckman States
Wheatgrass Pays
Lamb Dividends

Crested wheatgrass for early
spring pasture has a very real value
to him in its ability to support
ewes with twin lambs, is the report
of Walter Risen, rancher 25 miles
north of Malta and a cooperator
with North Phillips cooperative
state grazing association.
RiSen's crested wheatgraSs pasture
is near the sheep sheds at head
quarters, having been established as
part of his ranch conservation plan
worked out in cooperation with the
grazing association, and which soil
conservation service technicians as
sisting the association are helping
him put into effect. The pasture
is fenced so that it can be specif-
ically reserved for spring use.
Il have 1,4O0 ewes" Risen said,
land lamb early. Last spring there
were $50 twins. Having the ewes on
crested w~heatgrass, which greens
up as soon as the snow is gone, in
creases their milk flow and we
saved the twins. At Sc a head, which
lambs were worth this year, this
pasture really paid for itself when
one considers the twins"
Then, too, Risen concluded, these
early lambs get an excellent start
the crested wheatgraSS before
they go onto summer pasture, and
by the time they are ready for mar
ket they are larger than his lambs
used to be.

Glasgow Motor Co.
Sponsoring Drive
To Help Services

To provide recreation and diver
sion for service men in transit is
the aim of a drive sponsored locally
by the Glasgow Motor company, CO.
ordinated with a national program
sponsored by Chevrolet dealers, it
was announced today by Leo Hoff-
man.
Although military activities are
of a confidential nature, it is APP
parent to everyone that troop move
ment is on the upSwing," Mr.. Hoff-
man explained. Troops enroute to
their points of embarkation are re-
stricted to troop train cars and re-
quire some recreation. Playing cards,
comic and current magazines and
games, such as checkers and domi-
noes, are urgently needed. Shipping
orders and destinations are mill
tary secrets and make no provi-
sion for recreational equipment"
The local concern, in a campaign
endorsed by both the Red Cross and
the U.S.O, is urging Valley county
people to donate the articles mem
toned. The items collected will be
packaged and distributed to depot
service canteens for placement
aboard troop trains.
Donations may be left at the
Glasgow Motor company, Morgan g.
Jarrett, Friedl's or the Montana
Dakota Utilities company.
