One bright spot in the present
food supply picture is provided by
potatoes. National authorities say
there are plenty of old potatoes
available and that the crop of new
ones promises to be large enough to
allow substitution of potatoes for
bread or other cereals. The nutri-
ton specialists declare potatoes are
no harder on the waistline than
bread and that the vitamin content
of potatoes never has been duly ap-
preciated.

Wall Insulation

Wall insulation saves fuel and
keeps the wall warmer. This is i'm
portant because your body loses less
heat to a warm surface than to
cold one. In room with a tenn
perature of TO-, an uninsulated wall
may be as cold as So, while an in
sulated wall would be approximate
ly 65'. If you stand or sit next to a
cold wall you will feel cold, even lie
the air temperature in the room is
70' or To-.

and that is the word coined directly
from Jean Nicot's name.
Why the Nicotiana plant was
named for Jean Nicot who brought
it to France instead of the Dutch
man who brought it to Nicot can best
be explained by the fact that Nicot
wrote a French dictionary at the
time and merely gave himself a
break.

RESOLUTIONS

Whereas the Rural Electric Cooper
atives of the states Of Minnesota,
North Dakota and South Dakota are
at this time obliged to purchase the
bulk of their wholesale power at what
they consider extremely high rates
and at rates that are known to be
among the highest in the United
States.
Whereas there is an immediate scar
city of power in this general area;
Whereas there is known to be al
most unlimited quantities of potential
cheap hydro power going to waste in
the rivers of this area, and,
Whereas our only hope of complete
ly electrifying, especially the sparse
ly settled rural territories of these
three states at rates which farmers
can afford to pay, now, therefore,
Be 1t Resolved by the Rural Electric
Co-operatives of Minnesota, North Da-
kota and South Dakota, meeting at st.
Paul, Minnesota, this 9th day of No
vember, 1915, that we urge the con-
gress to enact into law the proposed
Missouri Valley Authority, or in the
absence of the Missouri Valley Author
ity, a full and complete development
of the water power resources of this
general area, and that the congress
see to it that such power is made avail
able, with adequate transmission IA
cilities, to the people, and particular
ly the Rural Electric Co-operatives at
the lowest possible rates.

previously stated will be followed.
6. That all tiemill operators pur
chasing state timber fully utilize the
saw lumber for ties and lumber so as
to cause the least possible waste, a
clause to this effect to be inserted in
each contract of sale.
Attorney General Dissents
In voting against approval, Attorney
General Bottomly took exception to
the recommendations pertaining to the
sales of lodgepole timber (4) and to
the giving of blanket disposal au-
thority to the state forester (5).
The attorney general argued that
the shipping of pulpwood timber to
best interests of Montana citizens;
that pulpwood industries should be
encouraged to come into the state
and thereby provide employment for
many hundreds of Montanans He cit
ed as an example the establishment
of pulpmill in the Poison area, which
is now underway This plant when it
gets into operation will, during the
first year provide jobs for approx
mately 500 mill and timber workers
After the first year of building up a
stockpile of dried pulp, and the open
ing of a paper mill, the employment
rolls of the Poison plant will be in
creased substantially.
1t is possible that in a few years
there might be several such pulp and
paper mills operating in various parts
of the state, if the industry is given
encouragement, Mr.. Bottomly contin-
ued.
Further, he pointed out that in view
of the needs of the Rural Electrified
ton Administration for lodgepole pine
for poles, not only in Montana, but
also throughout the nation, that the
REA should be given first considera-
ton for all live lodgepole timber.
Land Commission by State Forester
Time for Action
However, if the recommendations of
the state forester are permitted to
stand as approved, comparatively few
Montanans will secure jobs from this
source The pulpwood field, like min
ing, will once again cast Montana in
the role of a raw products" state,
with neighboring industrialized states
gaining the major share of employ
ment from the manufacture of paper
from Montana pulp.
1t is time that Montana, once and |
Tor all, took aggressive action to cast |
off the chains Of being only pro-
lucer of raw materials, and in its
stead, became a manufacturing state, |
hereby providing the necessary pay
oils to provide long-denied healthy |
population growth. The state board of
and commissioners would do well to
reconsider its earlier approval of the
state foresters program, and rescind |
hat approval on the portions of the
program which are inimical to the
greatest general welfare of Montana
people.

BABY TALK
SAYS THE OLD SO AND SO

And" says the Hon. Mr. Quinn,
"our plan is to keep the waters sub
ject to the laws of the states"
More Baby Talk.
How would he do this? By backing
the bureau of reclamation and the
army engineers in their unified plan"
"a plan already splitting apart. But
does the bureau of reclamation get it's
authority from the laws of Montana?
Do the army engineers come to Hell
ena to be told what to do? Certainly
not Do they return to the state of
Montana any money in lieu of taxes?
Ask them.
"The directors of an MVA would
have autonomous power" says Hon.
Mr.. Quinn.
Deliberately Misconstrues Truth
What Hon. Mr.. Quinn is trying to
put over on the people is statement
that an MVA would be above all other
governments and independent of them
More Baby Talk and pretty vile at
that
What's it all about?
Isn't there an old saying to the eff
feet that 'lie travels on thousand
leagued boots while the truth crawls
on its belly?"
Spew such as was given out by the
Hon. Mr.. Quinn appeared on the front
pages of every daily newspaper in
the state. 1t takes a lot of work to
catch up with it and show it up for
what it is. They know it. Meanwhile
they profit by every days delay. The
people do not know this.
The IVA is a success. 1t has shown
clearly that regional development can
best be promoted by getting away from
by having management
located in the country where the work
is being done. By getting away from
federal bureaus, not by enlarging
them, increasing their power and plac-
ing more and more power in Washing
ton. 1t has proven that men from
some of these federal bureaus have
lone much better, more effective work
when working under such conditions
han when in red-tape-bound bureau
'un from Washington.
Baby Talk such as the Hon. Mr..
Quinn prattles costs his bosses a lot
If money-but it pays them. But with
whose money? The money the people
pay them for power and light over and
above what should be and would be
paid under a development program
such as proposed through an MVA.

"These types of needs are represen
tative of the requirements of all de
partments in general, and should be
met If the school of mines is to GO
forward in decisive manner.
More Emphasis on Extension Work
20. The Montana School of Mines
should be given more facility-which
means money for instructors-to elab-
crate its system of extension courses,
which then might fill the needs of
substantial numbers of citizens inter
ested In mining and related subjects.
| "6. There should be available a
scholarship and graduate fund not
only to take care of tuition and lab
oratory costs, but also to sustain a
number of promising new students at
an adequate economic level while they
devote their total energies to their
school work.
az. The school of mines should have
small but adequate infirmary.
IS. The loan fund instituted by a
public spirited civic organization
should be generously supplemented by
the school itself, and made more wide
ly available to deserving scholars.
80. In connection with the previous
ly indicated expansion of departments,
the choice scientific volumes of the
beautiful mines library should be aug
mented with the best available works
relevant to the modern contemplated
courses.
Increased Operating Budget Needed
ITO aid, therefore, through teaching
and research the abundant unfolding
of the states mineral industry, the
school of mines should be provided
with an operating budget possibly
triple that Of former years." states
Mr.. Gaudin.
I'm addition, capital or equipment
fund is needed to purchase the type
Of apparatus indicated and to pay
for its installation. The size of this |
capital fund cannot be estimated ac-
curately without careful study by a |
commission appointed for that pur-
pose. 1t is our view that this fund
should be most substantial, perhaps of
the order of magnitude of one-half to
one million dollars and so set up and
as not to require imme-
date expenditure, but rather progress
sive use over a span of five to 10
years. Such fund might be provided
by the legislative assembly with the

Pensions Replace Guns
In Swedish Budget

Large scale new social security ben
efits were recently announced by
Sweden's labor government to replace
no longer needed defense expendi-
lures. Sweden is not lowering govern
ment expenditures, but will divert to
social security the funds formerly APP
propriated for ornaments The social
security program includes a 5000 year
ly pension for aged couples, free meals
for all school children, and paid vaca-
atoms for housewives. Old-age pen
sions-which up until now have con-
sisted only in token payments-will
really mean something, since enough
funds are provided to allow every
Swede over GO to live comfortably.
