Of the four films shown, this
one was not the most promising
as idea material for Meredith and
any television plans he may have.
The one that really shouts for
an American paraphrase is a
strictly British short feature,
titled with brilliant realism, THE
British: Are They Artistic?"
A question like this could have
been turned into an impossibly
stuffy answer. either yes or no
Nothing of the kind has happened,

matically snapshots. 1t shows the

paving over cheap literature and
possibly even pornography. 1t
takes a look at dog shows and

spectacle. exhibit, display and ac-
tivity that attracts people.
1t proves beyond a doubt that
the British are a sportsloving mob
AS to their artistic aspirations, it
suggests they are improving all the
time-but with considerable mar
gin left for the future. Also lot
of hope.
If it made the British watching
lit homesick-as they confessed it
did-it left one American hoping
that some one would produce an
American equivalent. Perhaps for
both the screen and television.
Meredith is the story of docu-
mentary thinker and dramatic
type who could do it.
AS so many ex-stage actors who
went to Hollywood have been
lucky enough to do. Meredith
would like to return to Broadway
His reputation has its roots there,
and it always has been a con-
genial street in his life. All it will
take to bring him back is prom
ising play, not necessarily "the
right play"
Week after week, Meredith keeps
looking for anything that might
be suitable. He reads himself tired
on the works of old and new play
wrights, but nothing comes of it.
OF course, it may. Until then,
Meredith keeps other irons in
other fires in such scattered places
as Hollywood. London and Paris.
1t keeps a man busy.

VIEWS 1900 YEARS
OF HUMAN ECONOMY

B. NJ. Harris, president of the
Yellowstone banks at Laurel and
Columbus, spoke here Tuesday at
a meeting of the Rotary club on
"The Evolution of Living and
Thinking in the Rocky Mountain
Area in the Past 1000 Years" His
address was based on observations
ne had made on a recent long trip,
a study of history, report of the
Hoover commission, and his own
conclusions. In brief, man during
1000 years in the Rocky mountain
area has changed from individual
ism to interdependency of a mag
nitude that he does not compre-
bend.
The story Harris told began at
Mesa Verde national park in south
west Colorado, site of the best pre-
served prehistoric cliff dwellings in
the United States. About the time
of the birth of Christ, a group of
people began building houses there,
heated by fire pits and ventilated
by roof and side openings. The in
habitants, modern scientists say,
were about five feet two inches
tall and weighed about 120 pounds
on the average for adults. Each
and his immediate dependents
lived by individual effort in the
procuring of food by hunting or
by an early form of agriculture.
They lived thus about 700 years
and then moved to the cliffs form
ing the walls of canyons where
they built pueblo houses of sun
baked clay bricks as protection
the weather and probably
hostile neighbor tribes. They lived
there in their often three-story
houses until about the time CO.
lumbus came to the east coast of
America. Just what happened aft
err that is not quite clear, but the
migrated, perhaps because
IF a drought extending over sew
eral years or because of increasing
strength of invaders. The exodus
seems to have been a flight, for
hey left their partially cooked
timers on their hearths and their
recent dead unburied. Thus ended {

GREATER INVESTMENT
IN EDUCATION VIEWED

Regarded from the commercial
aspect, education is a good in
vestment for business and should
have more money for buildings,
equipment and teachers, j. r. Pratt
of Minneapolis said in effect when
he spoke here Monday evening at a
general meeting of the Laurel
Commercial club. His address was
based on figures gathered and ar
ranged by the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States, of
which he has been manager of the
northwestern division during re-
cent years. His territory embraces
Montana and five other states.
He spoke by aid of projected
slides and from a prepared script
that was crammed with statistics.
The gist was that education equips
people to earn larger incomes, and
higher incomes r spent for more
of the pleasant things of life,
which in turn gives wider employ
ment for more people, makes more
business to transact.
Montana was shown on the chart
as rating rather we'll in edu-
cation, with more to be desired.
Some of the states rated way down
on the scale and a few were at the
top. Comparing incomes of now
and a few years ago, the charts
that the present is not
spending as much for education as
was spent some years ago. 1t was
suggested that the spending totals,
by taxation and bond issues, be in
creased.
Pratt also said in effect in the
;emi-darkness of the lecture room,
hat people want and will have
more education. The question was
whether the funds should come
a federal government al
'eady top-heavy with expenditures
or nearly every conceivable pur-
,ose, or from the lower and less
axed state and community levels.

DRY WEATHER
FAV0RS HARVEST
Approximately IS Per Cent
OF Winter Wheat Seeded;
Good Stands Noted

Dry weather during the week
favored harvesting of late crops
and the seeding of winter wheat.
Approximately rs per cent of the
winter wheat has been seeded. Soil
moisture conditions in north-cen-
trail and the eastern third of the
state are generally too dry for ger
minating the winter wheat seed
ings. Some intended acreage will
not be sown in these drought areas.
Elsewhere in the state, the early
seedlings are terminating well and
fields are turning green. Good
stands are noted in most of the
principal winter wheat counties,
except in a few spotted areas
where soil moisture is inadequate.
a general rain would be beneficial
to SUI optimum fall growth.
The flax harvest is complete ex-
cept for a few late fields. The
potato harvest is in full swing in
all areas with nearly one-half of
the acreage harvested. In a few
eastern areas 80 to 80 per. cent of
the potatoes are dug, while in the
western mountainous areas opera
lions have just started in full force.
Most dumps will be readied next
week for the sugar beet harvest. !
Operations have already begun in
Blaine, Phillips and Valley coun-
ties. Threshing machines have
been humming in dry bean areas.
The harvest is now virtually COM
pleted.
The corn crop, which got off to
a late start and was caught in last
weeks freeze is not very promis-
irg. A large part of the crop has
been put up as fodder. The poor
