Show Lions Club
Wild Life Film

ests' was the film shown Monday
evening to the members of the
Lions club and their guests by Her
man Ficke and Harold ZWang, u.
IS. foresters. The picture which is
IN technicoior and sound, is an out
standing picture on conservation of
game, showing a great variety of
American game ranging from the
grey squirrel of the east and the
Kaibab squirrel of the southwest,
to the mighty moose as seen in
Lincoln county and other northern
haunts of this great game animal
The film stressed the fact that
practically all this game, includ-
ing the Big Horn Sheep is coming
back-not to its original abundance
but to the full carrying capacity
of the National Forests food supply
In this connection the picture men
toned in several places that the
sportsman and his gun is not the
real menace to our game, but rather,
the lack of sufficient food during
the long cold of the winter months.

MEN TO co. PAYROLL

A complete pressure treating
plant for full length treatment OF
timbers, ties, lumber and poles with
creosote will be installed by the J.
NeilS Lumber company in the near
future, according to an announce
ment released by company officials.
The company has placed orders
Tor all equipment necessary to con-
struct the new plant. Two retorts
will be installed These huge tubes
are eight feet in diameter and IA
feet long with sufficient tank capa-
city to hold 100000 gallons of creo-
sote and oil. When in full opera
ton, the plant will require from
% to 80 carloads of creosote and
oil per month for treatment of a
capacity of 400 poles per day.
Location of the new plant will be
at the southwest corner of the pre-
sent sawmill log pond where a com
plete pole yard for storage of treat
ed and untreated poles will be
built.
The installation of this plant will
bring an added so to so men to
the company's payroll, IS to 80 adj

plant and about an equal number
for getting out poles in the woods.
The company expects to buy lodge

the local mill will be able to care
for their customers needing either
large or small quantities of these
materials

Sales People
AftendCIdsseS

A large group of Libby merchants
and sales personnel of the various
businesses attended the two classes
on Sales Personality Development
conducted at the school Monday and
Tuesday of this week. The classes
were conducted by Leo Smith, State
Supervisor of Distributive Education
and the classes were sponsored by
the public schools of Libby.
The classes were held to help
sales people in their daily jobs of
selling merchandise and especial
emphasis was given to such traits
on the part of salespeople such as
alertness, cheerfulness, courtesy.
etc. Also brought out in the dis
cussions was the fact that in order
to have some continued prosperity
IN this country, craftsmanship will
be a very important factor. One
other very important fact discus
sed was that twenty-five years ago
sixty percent of the consumers dol
lar went to manufacture an article
and forty percent to distribute it.
Now forty-one percent of the con-
Sumer's dollar goes to the manu-
facturer and fifty-nine percent for
These figures clearly
show there has been much greater
in the production field
than in the distribution and sell
ing part Of the nations business.
According to Mr. Smith the eff
fective buying income of Lincoln
County annually was 5,763, 900 and
the actual amount sold was only
S2,799,000 of that amount because
of the shortage of merchandise and
other causes which were brought
on by the war.
The classes proved very interest
ng and many good ideas were
out by both Mr.. Smith and
hose who were in attendance.
oupt. Gillespie and the faculty are
o be highly commended for bring
ng this type of information and
to Libby.
