Billings Prepares For
Annual Western Event
On June 18th and 18th

Larry Smith, the popular N.B.C.
commentator who calls Montana his
adopted state and never misses a
chance to give it a boost, has an
nounced that he will be at Billings
for the Western parade June Is
and without any red underwear.
The climactic scene in the spec
tacular pageant to be presented at
Billings Friday evening, June IA,
preceding the annual Western par
ade, will have as a setting a typi-
cal frontier town, props" for which
will be a 100 feet long and from 10
to 20 feet high, a faithful repro
duction of the Main street of a
cowboy town. There will be six
scenes, depicting Indian life, the
Lewis and Clark expedition, the pio-
neer fur trading era, blazing the
BOzeman trail, Clusters last stand
and, finally, the Cowboy town with
of gunplay and excitement.
In settings, costuming, etc, the
utmost is planned in historical &C
curacy and the leading characters
will actually not only dress but
look like the noted frontier charact-
ers they portray. Three score In
dams will add color to the show.
The script was written by Eastern
Montana Normal school history stu
dents under the direction of DR..
John Morton, Montana history pro-
lessor, who is pageant director.

Fathers Day Founded
At Spokane in 1910

"The beautiful custom of Moth

not a Fathers Day? This question
is further emphasized by the cele-

Childrens Day.
"a Fathers Day would call atten-

point out: the fathers place in the

safeguarding of the marriage tie;
the protection of womanhood and

Back To The Indians

Just as joke, now worn threadbare,
we all say every once in a while, Lets
give the land back to the Indians"
Usually it is when we can't go hunting
on time or find an apartment or don't
get the raise in salary we want or spring
is late or winter early or the tide too
high. Things like that.
But now the court has not only said
it, but actually means it. Palm Springs,
where Hollywood stars and financiers
and playboys c%ongregate has been re-
turned to a mission Indian and his wife.
The order includes the springs, too.
No more %suntanning or cocktailing
under gaudy umbrellas at swimming
pools. No more hot times in the old
town-which isn't old at all.
It all goes back to Lee Arenas and
his spouse Guadalupe, who claim ninety
four acres in and around Palm Springs
under trust patents established in 1891.
LIE pdCclCS plOVIucu IHdC AcS dlu
Guadalupe should hold in trust for
twenty-five years two acres apiece in
Palm Springs, five acres of irrigable
land and forty acres of desert land, at
the expiration of which time they were
to have full title. When Hollywood
took over, in 1927, Lee and Guadalupe
protested. Seventeen years later the
Interior Department - when Harold
Ickes was department secretary-said
"No."
Then the case was carried into Fed
eral Court in San Francisco and after
the hearing the court gave the Interior
Department fits for the confusion, de-
lay and ineptitude" of it's Indian At
fairs Commission and restored the In
dams to possession.

Santa's Mail

The atomic age doesn't mean a thing
to the youngsters. Mostly they want
the old time peacetime toys and in ad-
dition homes and clothes and the privi-
lege of living with the parents they
love. At least this is what a rosy AS
sociated Press correspondent, Francis
Stilley, has discovered by looking over
|Santa's shoulder at his mail.
MI. Stilley finds that the wartime
appeals for anti-aircraft guns, soldiers,
battleships, etc., have gone with the
wind.
Some of the pleas are touching. Says
one little girl: II am ashamed to say
that | haven't been a very good girl as
YOU know. l am sorry that I didn't
write early but excuse me. l would
like a pair lerner skates and a doll and
a doll carriage and a pair of dishes,
but for the last time please forgive
me-"
And a boy writes: my mother says
you may not come this year because
there's no money to pay. Please, please,
Mr.. Santa Claus, come to my house and
leave the toys for Eleanor and me.
When I get big I will get a job and pay
you back"
Then there is the little fellow who
asks St. Nick for an apartment so ne
can be with daddy and mamma" for
Christmas. Because his parents have
to live in one room, he explains, he is
now with his grandfather. II can't be
with them," he adds.
The mail has just brought this plea
in a scrawling hand: II am (the name
is omitted to prevent possible .embar-
rassment, but the letter is being for
warded to the Salvation ARMY I go
to school. I am II years old. l am in
the 8 grade. l have a brother, he is
10 years old, he is in the 8 grade. We
have no father and our mother is sick.
Will you please tell Santa to come to
me and my brother. Will you please.
Good by"
Please go, Santa.

about half the country began to
expect a Republican victory. This
attitude changed abruptly, how
ever, with the outbreak Of war in
Europe in September, 1899. The

Lesson Unlearned

This anticipated wave of demands
for a Is per cent wage increase, with
it's threat of more strikes, which is be-
ing fostered by the CLIO, can mean but
one thing an equivalent increase in the
cost of living which the entire CLIO
membership will have to share along
with all other persons. That has been
the record in the past. It will happen
again, if the CLIO is successful in push
ing it's program through.
The CLIO has not learned the real les
son of the recent coal strike. Lewis
ordered the strike, as he said with his
tongue in his cheek) so that This men,
should benefit. All that they got out
of it was the loss of three weeks pay,
Last winters strikes in major industries
are estimated to have cost the strikers
more than $500 each. And since, they
have had to meet the advances in livino
costs besides.

While it is considered unethical
to try to take advantage Of infer
ences to be drawn from express
ions, hesitations, and SO on, it
is difficult to avoid and therefore
the responsibility Of maintaining
a poker face" rests upon all play
rs. When North overcalled Vests
heart bid with a spade in today's
hand, it was quite evident to every
one that East was startled.
He finally passed, but later in
the play declarer profited by East's
reaction to the spade bid.
South could see a losing club
and a losing spade.
He won the opening club lead
with the king and took two rounds
Of trumps. Now he led the small
s;,ade, West played the ten-spot,
and declarer, feeling quite sure
that East held all the other spades
and certainly the king, went right
up with dummy's ace.
Just to protect himself he came
back to his hand with the ace Of
hearts and led the nine of spades.
West showed out. East won with
the jack and returned a club, dunn
my's ace winning. Now the queen
and eight of spades were equals.
The queen was led, East covered
with the king, South ruffed, then
ruffed his losing heart in dummy
and discarded the losing club on
the eight Of spades.
A smart player does not bid
either too quickly or too slow
ly. He forms the habit Of taking
about the same time to pass or bid,
to provide against giving informa-
ton as East did today.

China Peace Remote
Please go, Santa.

The interests and detectives of the
national government and Yenan COM
munists are so different that any hope
of peace between the two leading fac
|tions in China is too remote to contem-
plate with equinimity. AS one cores
pondent in Shanghai puts it: Settle
ment of China's civil war by negotia-
ton is no more foreseeable today than
the construction of a real coalition gov
ernment." In view of the repeated an
nouncements of a truce between these
warning elements in the population and
linvariable announcements Of the re-
sumption of fighting, the correspondent
is obviously correct in his deduction.
Because the communists and. the ma
%tionals are poles apart, the proposal
heard in Shanghai to send an emissary
to Yenan to resume peace talks would
appear to be a useless venture. The
communists, it is understood, would
bargain with the Chiang-Kai-shek gov
eminent only if the National Assembly
were dissolved at Marking and nationa-
list troops withdrawn to the positions
they held on January 10 last. AS this
would constitute virtual surrender to
the communists there is little proba-
bility that Chang would accept it as
an asking price" of peace.
The sad thing is that while these fac
tons fail to get together China is
rapidly driving toward an economic
crisis, and the United States, which has
an obvious obligation toward China that
it would willingly meet, can do nothing
about it. The situation is the more dis.
tressing in that while Washington has
steadily supported Chang and the ma.
tionalist government, life is reported
more orderly, relief better administer
ed, in the territory controlled by til,
Chinese communists than in the res
of China.

Old Mrs. Parker was very fond of

After the Democratic landslide
of 1886, which led people to spec

party was dead, 10 percent Of
voters with opinions thought the
Democrats would win in 1910. This
continued to be the general senti-
