You can't raise anything on hard

We arrived at the depot, where
there was fearful ringing of bells
and blowing of whistles and people
hurrying in all directions. "Run-
ners" for rooming houses bounced
out and seized our grips, saying
they would carry them for US.
Don't let 'em," shouted Pa. Don't
take any chances"
Then we saw Mr.. and Mrs. Day.
Mr.. Day was small man with a
large mustache, and Mrs. Day was
very large woman, but how good
they looked to us! In a few minutes
we were on streetcar, the first
ever saw, racing through acres and
acres of houses.
Pa cautiously asked Mr.. Day how
he was doing. Mr.. Day worked at
the stockyards and it developed that
he was doing better than he had on
the farm. Pa was shocked through
and through.
The next day we started to the
Exposition grounds. Flags were fly
ing, bands were playing, and great
stages filled with gay people dashed
by US, the drivers shouting at the
horses and warning people out of
the way. Pa shook his head gloom
lily. Somebody will be killed be-
fore the day is over" he said.
We found it was almost impossi-
BILE to keep together, so we arranged
for place to meet at noon and
eat the things Mrs. Day had put up.

a supreme sight-General Nelson A.
Miles, the Indian fighter, dressed in
a blue uniform covered with braid.
Hanging at his side was gold sword
that had been given him for captur-
ing the ferocious Geronimo. I was
awed by the great man until he
started to make a speech. Then I
saw, his line was Indian fighting.
The crowds, the excitement, the
sense of freedom filled me with an
intoxicating pleasure. There were
many exhibits which said that if the
visitor was interested and would
leave his name and address, the
company would, after he got home,
mail him full information. reg

which indicates medical opinion is not
fully back OF the ANA.
What the ANA conveniently forgets
IN its serbal blasts against a national
health bin is that the Wagner-Murray-
Dingell bill calls for voluntary selec-
tic moi any physician the individual
patient may choosc-the only require
meut being that the doc be one who
has decided TO play along with the big
national health program.
The only element of compulsion in
the proposal is that it would be sup
ported by taxes-just as each American
citizen pays taxes to support the free
public school system. I compulsory
support of a national health program
can be proven socialistic, then indeed
the U. S. has long supported a social
lied public school system in each Of
its several states
Just how the ANA figures that pre-
payment of medical costs, through tax
es, would bring the public a less ef-
iicicnt or inferior quality of medical
care is something only the tories IN
the ANA can explain.

NATIONAL PRESIDENT OF TEACHERS UNION
URGES AID TO PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM

Not often is Butte treated to a talk
of such excellence as that given by
Joseph F. Landis, national president of
the National Federation OF Teachers,
who spoke to an audience at the finen
Hotel Tuesday evening Both the Silver
Bow Trades and Labor Council and
the Butte Building Trades Council adj
iourned early to permit delegates to
hear Mr. Landis
One OF his most startling remarks
was, in effect, that the degree and
extent Of the education OF a nation
was an index or a governor to the
degree Of the national income or wealth
Of that nation irrespective OF its ma
tionai resources.
Mr.. Lands sharply disapproves OF
the apparent lack of understanding and
appreciation of the needs facing Ameri-
cas- educational system, not only by
the local school boards, but by the State
Boards of Education, the legislators,
and congress. The speaker however,
did say that the National Chamber OF
Commerce had begun to recognize the
returns in value for money spent IN
educating the children OF the nation.
He showed clearly that if it had not
been for Americas system OF instruc-
ton and education, not only in the
arts, but also in technology that the
war would have not ended as quickly
as il did. In other words, the youth
OF America through it training was
ready when the crisis came 10 give to
the war effort in a very superior man
ner.
Mr.. Lands spoke Of the five mill
lion children who do not attend school
in the nation because Of lack OF class
rooms and teachers or because Of poor
financial conditions Of their parents.
These children face the world poorly
equipped because OF lack of training,
he said
He also spoke OF the great number
Of temporary teachers certificates that
have been issued during the war years
to teachers not qualified under ordinary
standards to teach children but who
had TO be used because of the lack OF
suitable teachers during the war.
Mr. Landis covered the whole field
Of education, and especially described
the program outlined by the National
Federation OF Teachers. OF which he
is the head. He expressed himself as
being highly in favor OF Teachers

Too Many Votes Involved.

Then too, there is always the polit-
ical angle. This writer is convinced
that this congress, which is so sensi-
tive to the political winds, will not
take action, since the farm mem.
bership so far outnumbers the mem.
bership of the small business
groups. The political potency of
some two million farm members, all
allied with one or the other of the
three large farm organizations, is
something this reactionary congress
will not overlook.
And SO the prospects are that any
attempt to extend the federal gov
ernment's taxing power to include
these farm co-operatives will reach
an impasse. At least it will be a
steep uphill fight, which the co-opera-
tives are most likely to win.
At any rate, they are prepared
here to go to bat on the question,
and they will be aided by other pow
erful forces included in the tax-free
groups, such as the unions, the tax
free financial and lending institu-
tons, and mutual insurance COM
panies. Tied in with this group also
are the non-business organizations
which also are tax free, such as
chambers of commerce, hospitals
and social welfare organizations,
educational organizations and scien-
tifc foundations all of which
feel that an inroad into one tax-free
group may endanger the others.

Engelbert Humperdinck wrote
the original score of "Hansel and

be given at a party for his SIS

The musical fairy tale created
such sensation that Humper-
dinck and his sister, Mrs. Adel-
held Wette-who wrote the words
elaborated the piece" into
complete opera which has de-
lighted music lovers of all ages
since its first production in 1893.
Since Humperdinck was one of
Richard Wagner's most intimate
assistants, his harmonies have
been dubbed nursery rhymes

tales and nursery rhymes are ap-

The procession enters the Church

permitted to witness the actual plac-

Nativity-is under the jurisdiction Of
the Greek Orthodox church.
On Christmas Eve, members of
all denominations assemble to sing
carols above the birthplace of the
Holy Child before midnight mass is
s0lemnized in the Church of the
