SdlntdtOry

With tOday's issue we COM
mence the publication of The
Republican which we are war
ranted in saying will hereafter
be permanent institution in
our community and which we
propose to make a welcome
weekly visitor to every house
hold in the county.
It's political status is suf-
ticiently indicated by its name.
We leave the future to show
with what zeal and ability it
will defend that great party,
whose triumph was the saliva
ton of our common country
over the base designs and
traitOrous assaults of those men
who, because they could no
longer control, sought the utter
destruction of that Government,
which is to us the priceless
legacy not only of the Fathers
Of the Revolution, but those
Martyrs of the later time, when
blood was poured out at Gcttys-
burg and AppomattoX, "That
the Union might live"
We shall seek to make
known, as widely as we can, the
resources of our county, and
urge our people to improve
their opportunities in every
possible way. We shall advocate
more extern sive and more
thorough educational facilities
and always espOuse any meas
ure that shall elevate the
morals, add to the knowledge
and improve the comforts of
our people.
We shall be glad to have cor
respondcnce from every section
of the county upon all subjects
of general interest.
We shall seek to furnish for
our family circles" such read
ing as may interest and amuse
that better" part of our homes
and, in a word, furnish a paper
that to sound political doctrines
shall add usefulness and such
literary excellence as shall
make it indispensable in every
well ordered home in Garrett
County.

what advertising is and does, how i'm
portant it is to you and to us, and
why you would have to pay 50 much
more for paper without it.
Commercial printing comes next.
It's a sort of sideline with US which
we perform on weel-ends and this
tour takes you step by step through
each stage, telling what all is in
volved.
Stereotyping is also considered.
It's process we couldn't very well
get along without because it is re-
sponsible for many of the illustra-
tions you see in our paper.
We can't help laughing when we
take you in our engraving depart
ment. It's hard to tell Just what you'll
find. There's a roller skate wheel,
coat hangers, a stone crock-heaven
knows what else. The funny part
about this is, all these odds and ends
in the proper combination have pro-
duced the pictures you've seen in The
Republican during the past two
years!
The next page had us stumped for
a while. We had run out of processes
to tell you about. So in last
minute desperation we threw all
modesty aside and put in our own
pictures. This was done so you'd
know us and what we do if you ever
came up for a visit. And, incidentally,
we hope you will.
There's still another department to
be considered. That's our Ideal De-
partment. The back page was given
over to it so it wouldn't be overlooked.
What you find there pretty well eX-

proud of and principle to uphold.

half century, the needs for money
capital to get started in farming were
relatively low. Land was free or low
in price. Capital requirements for
buildings, improvements, machinery
and operating expenses were less.
Even the family living took less cap

frontier days was the capital with

are; let's see how many of the from
tier problems have disappeared and
whether or not any new ones have
appeared in their place.
Rural Life Today
One of the first things that strikes
the person who looks at Montana
rural life today is the tremendous in
crease in the dependence of the rural
family on services supplied from out
side the family. Its medical care is
better but bought from the doctor,
the public health service, and the
hospital. Schooling for its youth is
of a higher order with better facili-
ties and better teachers but bought
from the school district, the county,
and the state.
It has electricity for better living
and the easing of household and
farm chores but bought from the
utilities or the public generating
plants. It relies much more on pre-
pared and purchased foods and
clothing which eases the burden on
the farm wife but costs money. Its
roads are supplied by the public but
paid for through taxes. Its produc-
tive equipment both for the farm and
in the home is bought with money
from industries through local bust
nesses.
The significant changes to be noted
are that living is easier but depends
to vastly increased degree on mon
ey capital and money expenditures.
Montana's rural population at mid
century is an aging population. The
proportion of old people has in
creased as the pioneer stock has
grown old. Old age support is an
increased drain on the economy
whether it be by government, paic
for through taxes, or whether it be
by savings put aside by the aging
generation itself, or whether it be-
by contributions from the grown chill
dren to their parents.
What to do with the farm has be
come pressing problem to many
Montana rural families since Worlc
war 2. The boys have grown up; dac
and mother want to retire. How d.
you do it?
Opportunities for Youth
Right along with this situation
goes the question of opportunitie
for our Montana rural young PEG
pie. There aren't farms enough TO

school. 1t was to a much greater ex-
tent than now its own doctor and
its own hospital. 1t furnished its own
recreation. 1t produced much of its
own food and made much of its own
clothing.
The rural population in Montana
during this frontier period was con-
centrated much more heavily than
now in the productive age groups.
Montana was settled by grown men
and women seeking opportunity.
People who today are thought to
be ''too old' or ''too young" to work
were a smaller part of the rural pop
ulation a half century ago.
Partly it was because they worked
in those earlier days, and partly it
was because there weren't so many
of them then as now in the rural
population. Old age support was not
a pressing problem. The costs of
raising children were lower.
Making Living. Raising Family
During the half century just past,
the question of how and under what
arrangements the farms and ranches
should be passed on to the younger
generation generally was not a press
ing problem. Most of the homestead
generation has only recently come
to retirement age; most of the youth
of that generation have only recently
come to the age when they seek
farms and ranches of their own.
The family of the past half century
was able to concentrate on the ques-
tons of making living and of rails
ing a family. The questions of who
among the children should get the
farm, how they should get it and
what the financial arrangements
among the other children and the in
heriting child should be did not seri-
ously disturb internal family rela-
tionships in most families of that
period.
Opportunities for Montana rura.
youth were not yet a matter fol
widespread concern. A large pro-
portion of the rural youth were no
yet seeking adult opportunities tt
make. living for themselves. The
pressing problem of the family wa
to "get the kids raised" not to fine
an earning opportunity for them.
The burden of non-productiv,
population-the old and the young
was low in proportion to the numbe
who were working and earning 4
larger share of the farmers earning
than would be possible today coulC
go into developing and improving
the homestead and into raising tn
minor children.

money capital, today, as well as
strength and intelligence and fru-
gality to get started in farming.
People aren't born with money
they earn it or get it from dad and
mother. At mid-century our pioneer
families can retire and enjoy the
fruits of a life time of toll and fru-
gality. But the problems of youth
who seek opportunities are upon us
and the methods of so years ago that
helped dad and mother aren't as
helpful to the youth of today as they
were then. It takes money capital
today to start this new generation.
Another very evident condition in
Montana rural life at mid-century
is the greatly increased comforts of
rural iving-electricity with all its
means in hghtened household and
farm chores and more pleasurable
living, the radio for recreation in the
isolated home and for immediate
contact with the whole world; much
improved communication with other
people through better roads, the
automobile and telephone, much
more and better formal education for
rural youth, greater leisure on the
part of all the members of the family
to do things not before thought pos
sible. But these, also, require capt.
tai outlay and money income.
But at a Cost
The Montana rural family at mid
century obtains great deal more
of what the people of the United
States consider to be the good
things of life" But not without cost.
Greater dependence upon others, in
creased need for money capital and
money income, breaking down the
internal unity of the family as its
members seek some of their services
outside the family are some of the
costs rural people pay.
Montana rural people rely more to-
day on organized groups and on or
ganized programs to do some of the
things they used to do for them
selves or that used to be done by
local community groups. Rural life
isn't as informal or as ''face-to-
face" as it once was. The burden of
rural leadership is more and more
concentrated on the shoulders of a
few rural people who are the Of
ficers and leaders of the formally
organized groups and programs.
So let us finish our story of Mon
tana rural life with a look ahead
Some of the problems of rural living
of the so years behind us have been
solved or have disappeared. But new
ones have taken their place and some
of the problems of the past are still
with us. What are they?
Unsolved Problems
First, and most obvious, rural life
i in Montana is still a comparatively
isolated life except in the more
/ thickly settled irrigated valleys. AnC
"space" is social cost we haven
q yet learned how to lick. Social anC
i economic services such as schools
4 roads, medical and hospital care
4 electricity, telephones, market cen
tiers, churches are, and will continu
to be, of high cost to some rura
3 people. Others will get along with
q out some of these services altogethe
; or viii be inadequately supple,
4 with them.
One solution to this problem be

FIFTY YEARS AGO

FIFTY YEARS AGO Montana was
frontier society. AS in all frontier
societies, life called for more self
reliance and self-sufficiency than
now. People were required to carry
on more of their production with
tools and power that they produced
for themselves; they lived much
more by and for themselves.
The family was much more the
basic unit. It performed for itself
many of the services it required. It
either schooled its own children or

Life in the Country
House Fly Defies Weather and Appears
According to Calendar This Year
I am often puzzled by the ways

am often puzzled by the way.
Of nature.
/ I've always thought that warm
spring weather was what brought
out the buds. the birds, the bees
and the house fly. I'm not SC
sure now.
Our thermometer at The 40
Acres has been regularly dipping
to below the freezing point for the
last few weeks. and still things
are beginning to happen.
/ just as soon as the sun begins
to brighten up the day the
peppers begin their spring chant
In the branch below the house
and the bees begin their humming
flights from the hives down near
the pasture.
But the thing ! can't under
stand is the fly, Certainly you
never would expect a fly to be out
in such temperatures, and yet,
saw two out at the barn the other
day. They were a bit weak, I'll
admit. but were getting about just
the same.
Perhaps they were Matched in
some secluded place warmed by
the spring sun. Or, perhaps the
weather hasn't much to do with
it. and the time of year is what
counts. I'm beginning to lean
toward the latter idea.
We haven't had what you might
call growing weather." and still
the maple trees are putting on
their red spring dresses, the lilac
buds are beginning to swell and
the forSythia is splashing yellow
about the countryside. The pas
lures, too. are turning . deeper
green.
Although the weather has re-
NAMED cold and many days have
been dreary with no sign Of the
sun. there is little doubt that
something is in the air. It is a
certain smell, q certain feeling
the days bring that lets you know
that one Of the years most pleas
ant seasons Is at hand.

The 40 Acres Is finished. Again
we must depend on lespediza for
our hay. We had hoped to have
something better this year-tim-
othy and red clover. but things
happened and we never got around
to preparing the fields.
One has to do things at the
proper time in the country, or not
do them at all. One day the
ground will be just right for
working--the day before 1t was
too wet and the day after it will
be too wet again. That is what
happened-that one day slipped
by.
But there will be another day
and another year and perhaps one
of these days there will be green
grass in every field.
