My intent was to hit at no less
than the entire community whose
well-being is vitality affected by
this problem and its solution. My
recommendations were that this
community support a professional
housing survey to find out what
we have and what we need and
that we demand and support good
city planning in order that we
have a "long-range city plan to
know where we are going and how
to get there from here"

MONEY : Mosfer or Servunf?
Isaiah 55:2;. Tim. 9: 0-1O
WHAT IS MONEY?


Money is a means for exchang-
ing what we have for what we
want. What we have may be
farm produce, strength and en-
ergy, skills, mental ability, time.
What we want may be things
such as food and clothing, cars
or houses, or education. or pop
ularity. or comfort and ease, or
fame. II you have farm produce
and want a car you might take
load of it to the car dealer
and try to make a bargain. But
this would be rather inconven-
lent. The dealer would hardly
want, all at one time, enough
farm produce to pay for the car.
So instead. you take your pro-
duce to market and sell it to
several people in small amounts
over period of a year or more
and get money in exchange for
1t. Then when you have saved
up enough money you take the
money to the car dealer and give
it to him in exchange for the
car.
Or, you may have great skill
as a musician, or a bricklayer,
or cook and you sell the use
of that skill for money.
Is MONEY EVIL?
1t is the love of money that
is evil, not money itself. 1t is
what we are willing to do fol
money and what We will do with
the money which makes 1t good
or bad. Money is a necessity In
the modern world. In America
today, where free enterprise" is
the rule, person is free to dc
any thing not condemned by law
- or which can evade the law =
to get the money he wants. II
is up to the individual what he
will do. This is part Of our
freedom, and it is part respon
sibility.
is 1T RIGHT TO
TAKE cHANcEsT
Taking chances in one form
or another seems to be one Of
the chief pastimes in the United
States today. The radio time is
so cluttered up with chance pro
grams and getting fine prizes that
it is impossible to get a good
program many hours of the day

tions and even churches are hold
ing raffles, sales of chances, OF
bingo parties. All these are gam
bling, regardless of the name un
der which they go or the cause
for which they are promoted.

which have led to broken homes

A Short Story Complete in This Issue
By jim KELGAARD

a was my duty to bring Andrew
Mellish back to the hangman's moose
which he deserved. At the same time,
because I knew Andrew Mellish, I
knew that I was never going to
bring him back alive. He would kill
me or I would have to kill him.
Nobody in Split River knew where
he had come from and few cared so
long as he stayed away from them.
You may have met men like that.
Without being able clearly to define
any evil within them, you still know
that they are evil. You know it be-
cause about them is a certain in
definable aura, like that which is
in the air before rain falls. Without
seeing any difference you know that
it exists. At the same time I was
waiting.
Then it happened.
YOU could not consider Rose lib
Il belts a bad girl. And 1 think it
was largely the fault of her father,
John Tibbetts, that she took up with
Andrew Mellish.
A girl might have been allowed
d greater measure of freedom than
was permitted Rose Tibbetts. When
she was small she had to play within
sight of her house. AS she grew older
and wished to attend parties and
dances, she was allowed to do so
only if her father and mother ac-
companied her. 1t was not until she
was 18 that Rose Tibbetts declared
herself independent, and took up
with Andrew Mellish.
Certainly it was their affair; both
were of age. But John Tibbetts did
not like it, and one evening he fol-
lowed his daughter and Andrew Mel
lish into Carver's. 1 was out of town
when I got back four hours later.
John Tibbets faced Andrew Mellish
at Carver's bar.
"Stay away>from her!" he said.
A NDREW MELLISH said nothing,
"A and it was then that John lib
belts should have known his danger.
A man like Andrew Mellish, when
he threatens and busters, will do
nothing except fight with his fists.
When he is silent, he is deadly as a
wolf.
eff you DON'T" John Tibbetts said,
"I'n kill you'll"
The men who witnessed it told me
that, moving so swiftly that he
scarcely seemed to move, Andrew
Mellish snatched up his rifle and
shot John Tibbetts through the heart,
At the point of his rifle Andrew
Mellish backed the men in Carver's
against the bar, and from the coun-
ter he took five extra boxes of car
tridges. That was the animal way,
the VOLTS way. He could expect pur-
suers, and he must be prepared to
meet and fight them when they came
But he also knew that, by the exer-
else of great cunning, he might pre-
vent anyone's overtaking him.
And Andrew Mellish exercised
great cunning. Once outside o.
Carver's, instead of running blindly
he backed to a pine $50 feet away
and waited beside it. Fifteen sec,
onds later the men who had beer
at Carver's bar boiled out in no
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-01-15

would be effectively locked inside.
Did they dare go out? Had Andrew
Mellish gone or was he still behind
that tree?
He had gone, and he had hid his
trail well. Nobody could have fol-
lowed him, as he travelled only by
night and laid up by day.
EOR four days, leaving no trail, An
4 drew Mellish travelled north and
east. Only then did he decide that
it was safe to journey by day. But
now a great uneasiness travelled with
him.
1t was the evening of the fifth
day when Andrew Mellish came to
that wide stretch of open country
which we know as the Lomar Mead
ows. They are almost treeless, and
the wind gets a wild sweep across
them. Andrew Mellish walked across
those meadows, unafraid of pur-
suers because he knew that none
could be even close. He entered the
old, dilapidated cabin that is the
only thing in the Lomar Meadows
which obstructs the sweep of the
wind and prepared to make himself
comfortable for the night. He had
scarcely entered when he knew that
this night could decide his fate.
For the wind was shr1ek1ng across
the meadows, tearing at the cabin
and smashing crisp snow against it.
Andrew Mellish ate one of the rab-
bits which he had shared as he fled
through the forest, and waited pa
tiently. Men he could fight. Cold he
did not fear. There was nc need to
go hungry. But there was one enemy
in this wild land which no I'M
equipped man could fight with any
hope of winning, and that was deep
snow. No man without snowshoes
could travel on it and Andrew Mel
lish had no snowshoes.
A STRANGE dawn came to the
a cabin and the man within it
it1O1S Woo IN iSilI, Oilly LtbIC I00-
ing of darkness. Andrew Mellish
walked to one of the two windows,
which were on either side of the
door, and stood before it. He waited
until the outside light became suf-
ficiently strong to ebb through and
prove to him that snow was heaped
high over the window. He walked
to the other window and saw more
snow. When he tried to push the
door open he could not.
Andrew Mellish knew then that
he had lost. He had run this far to
be defeated by deep snow. There
was nothing ahead but starvation,
and Andrew Mellish had been in
cabins where other men had starved.
He had see evidence of some of the
things they did, and some of the
things they ate, as they strove to
stay alive just one more day. They
did not stay alive.
Andrew Mellish lay down on the
bunk and shot himself through the
heart.
1t was there I found him, one week
later, when I walked across the rem
nants of what might have been a
foot of snow. 1t had been melted by
warming SUI until many spots were
devoid of any snow whatever. But
the cabin was still heaped high with
it, that lonely little cabin in the
Lomar Meadows.

Honor Makes the Man

eggs. The question was asked,
"What is the best guarantee for
getting fertile eggs for Matching
purposes?"
The answer went beyond chick
ems and eggs to the producer: 1.-THE
moral character of the man who
produces fertile eggs for SALE"
Of course, we all know that, but
it set me thinking. The poet, Edwin
Markham wrote a line about the
futility of Building, if we do not
build the man." Goldsmith has a
line in the Deserted Village, "where
wealth increases and where men
decay"
During World war 1, there was a
song: "The Man Behind the Gun"
Then someone went him one better:
"The girl behind the man, behind the
gun" All of which boils down to the
truth that, in every human relation
ship, personal, social, and economic,
it is the moral and spiritual character

Insignificant Signature
Once, I loaned a man a little mon
ey. He gave me his I. o. U. for it.
I kept the I. o. u. for several years,
and finally threw it into the waste
basket. The I. o. U. was as good as
ever, but there wasn't enough IMAM
hood and honor" behind the sigma
ture.[I might say his signature was
insignificant.
Banks are built to induce the feel
ing of security in depositors. The
marble interiors and the polished
mahogany seems so secure. You look
at the steel vault and door. 1t looks
as if it would stand up against a
charge of nitro. And yet, the Sc
curity of your deposits is not in the
vaults, or the sturdily built struc-
ture of the bank. These things have
a value, of course, but your final
security is in the moral heart of the
man who sits in the presidents chair,
and in the honesty of the cashier.
The facts are, that more banks have
failed from the inside than have
been destroyed by bandits.
Home and Character
A home is just as strong as the
queenly purity of the wife and the
manly honor of the husband. You
may add every modern labor-saving
doo-dad, increase the luxuries and
comforts that money can buy and
ingenuity invent, but the home will
be nothing but a "house" unless
there be Christian love, high duty,
and everyday honor in the ordering
of the home life.
I read one day in a Chicago daily

that the reporting of news depends
