COUNTY FACES BIG
HOME REPAIR JOB
Great Era Said Ahead For
Making Delayed Repairs
and MOderniZatiOn

More than $1,472,OO0 is expected
to be spent during the next five
years by Yellowstone county home
owners on remodeling and repair
work.
The year 1916 promises one of
the greatest eras in American his
tory for home repairs and moderni-
zation, according to estimates re-
leased by the Tile Council of Amer
lea. "Few developments will con-
tribute more to employment and
general prosperity in any communi-
ty." according to r. E. Jordan,
chairman of the councils residen-
tial construction committee.
Because of lack1of materials and
manpower during the war, majority
of the county's 1852 dwelling units
are in need of some kind of repair
OF remodeling work. Kitchen i'm
provements and modernization of
bathrooms, installation of tiled
showers and in some homes addi-
ton of a second bath top the ma
tion's list of most wanted major
improvements, Jordan said.
Outside paint jobs are needed on
more than so per cent of homes,
and addition of rooms and con-
struction of porches also rank high
in remodeling plans, according to
the report. New roofing and heat
ing plants are required by many
Home owners in Montana will
spend an estimated $21 1,615,000 and
those of the nation more than $5,-
5OO,OOO,OOO for major repairs alone
in the next five years, according to

SMITH SHOWING FIRST
POSTWAR HUDSON CAR

New 1916 Hudson automobiles
now being shown by George H
Smith, proprietor of Smiths Super
Service, exhibit postwar advances in
exterior and interior styling, me-
chanical efficiency and ease of op-
Grafton.
Declaring that the new models
fully meet the demand for better
cars for better driving, Smith said
that deliveries will be made as rap
idly as possible and those placing
the first orders will get the first
cars. He added that present Hud-
son owners are well represented in
those viewing the first cars built
since the end of the war.
Smith has been advised by the
factory that Hudson is in a unique
position for production by reason of
early reconversion, early orders for
materials and an integrated plant
that enables an unusually high per-
centage of the completed autos
components. He continued:
"The new models are being offer
ed in two distinctly different style
lines, the Super series and the Com
modore series, each available with
six or eight cylinder engines. How
ever, immediate production sched-
ules call for four-door sedans pow
cred by six-cylinder engines follow
ed by broughams and club coupes.
Three-passenger coupes and con-
vertibles will be added to the Hud-
son line as rapidly as urgent de-
mands for first production models
will permit. Convertibles and eight
cylinder powered cars in both the
Super and Commodores series will
be produced as rapidly as possible"

GORMAN SPEAKS FEB. 4
ON TOLERANCE, ESTEEM

America should lead all nations in
campaign for inter-racial toler-
ance and friendship. That is the
view of at least four United States
Presidents and a Supreme Court
Justice, quoted in special radio
broadcast to be heard over station
K. G. H. L., at $3.50 p. m. Monday,
February II.
The program speaks for Broth
erhood Week and commentaries
the February birthday and anniver-
saries of George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln; the broadcast is
sponsored by Billings Post No. 1854,
Veterans of Foreign Wars of the
United States. Post Commander
Frank Braley has designated Frank
]. German of Billings Post No. 1884
to deliver the message, sixty-thlrd
in a series of V. F. w. "Speak Up
For Democracy" addresses.
"Presidents Washington, Lincoln,
Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Tru-
man, also Supreme Court Justice
Frank Murphy have expressed
themselves emphatically on the
need for American leadership in
behalf of lasting world peace. "V.
F. w. Commander Braley declared
today, "We are the logical world
leaders because the American pop
ulation is composed of practically
all races on earth.
president Truman has defined
the ideal of Democracy as a So
ciety in which every person seeks
the truth in his own way. The
late President Roosevelt said that
if civilization is to survive we
must cultivate the ability of all
peoples to live and to work to-
gether in peace. Lincoln and Wash
ington urged uniting all men in
harmony and good will and Justice
Murphy has spoken shorply
against racial discrimination in our
country"
Those thoughts of American lead
ers are linked in the V. F. w.
