BERT DAVIS FILES FOR
COUNTY COMMISSION

Last Friday Bert Davis, we'll known
pioneer settler in the McGinniS
Meadows country filed with County
Clerk George c. Earle, for the office
of Commissioner from the First Dis
trict in Lincoln County. Mr.. Davis
who is veteran of World War No.
l, and is filing on the democratic
ticket, has the following comment
to make regarding his candidacy:
Having lived practically all my
life in Northwestern Montana (Flat-
head County 1891 to 1900, and what
is now Lincoln County, from 1900
todate) and having had during this
time much experience in location,
construction and maintenance of
roads, as laborer, forest ranger,
foreman or road construction, gen
eral foreman of road construction,
and superintendent of road con-
struction, and having been in a posi-
ton much of my life which neces-
STATED my using Lincoln County
roads throughout the entire year,
or at least such part of the year as
they were passable, I feel that I
am eminently qualified not only as
to the kind of roads that are needed,
but also as to how to build those
roads.
Lets not continue to throw good
money after bad in a fruitless and
effort to maintain the
kind of roads that we do not want.

Senior Class to
Present "Jone Eyre"

The Senior Glass of Libby High
IS proud to present the elimination
of SIX weeks of work on speech,
acting, properties-in a classic rep
reSentation of Jane Eyre
Not only is the dramatization an
authentic and faithful version of
the book by Charlotte BrOnte-but
the seniors here spent perhaps more
money than has even been spent by
Ia school of the size Of Libby-to
obtain authenticity in costume and
settings.
Jane Eyre is perhaps unusual in
the local presentations of high
school plays because it depicts the
greatest love story Of the century
yet in reserved, dignified and
idealistic manner
lnStinctvely young girl sets be-
fore her some standard of perfec-
ton and consciously or unconscious
ly she strives to emulate the graces
and virtues of this ideal Some
times il is a mother who serves as
her model, or a superlative elder
sister: or it may be d glamorous
actress or some dynamic feminine
figure Of the day But, as a general
rule, a girl forms her ideal concep-
ton from some very appealing char
acter in fiction 1t is a safe as
that, inevitably, when she
turns the pages of JANE EYRE"
that immortal book by Charlotte
Bronte, and acquaints herself with
the heroine, she will have no
thought of looking further for
pattern of feminine perfection. For
The character of JANE EYRE" is
with all the charms and
graces and virtues that any young
ady could ever hope to aspire to-
Would you like to see her run the
samut Of emotions from JOY to de-
pair, from horror to ultimate peace
md happiness? Would you like
0 judge for yourself the qualities
hat have endeared this heroine to
overs of literature throughout the
world? Then don't fail to attend the
ramatization of JANE EYRE |
