Washington.—Plans are being made
by the American Legion and the
United States Commissioner of Edu

ance of Sunday, Dec. 3, as the opening
day of Education Week. Ministers of
all denominations are urged to preach
a sermon on education that day, com
bining the thoughts of home, school
and church influence. The National
Education association is cooperating
to induce the nation to concentrate on
seven points of endeavor that week,
all of them tending toward better
Americanism. "A Godly Nation Can
not Fail," is the national slogan for
Sunday, Dec. 3.

Legion Auxiliary, will be at her post
here on Monday, Nov. 6. It will be
the first visit of the distinguished j f
officer to national headquarters since
her election during the annual con
vention in New Orleans last month.
Dr. Barrett, who has represented the
United States Government abroad and
is well known in all of the principal
countries of Europe, has outlined al
ready some very definite policies for
the Auxiliary. These will be an
nounced from National headquarters
soon, after the president has completed
details. In every matter of importance
she seeks the advice of the executive
committeewomen as well as of the
other national officers.
CUSTOM MILLS GIVE
FLOUR FOR WHEAT
One of the institutions that should
be encouraged by the farmers of the
state is the custom flour mill, says
the Helena Reccrd-Herald. It is a
convenience to farmers, and it is also
a great economy to wheat producers.
Such mills grind the farmers' wheat
and return to him flour and feed on
a commission. Farmers thus re
ceive from custom flour mills flour
and feed for their own use much
cheaper than they can buy them. The
Denton Record tells of the mill at
Denton in the following editorial:
"The Denton Roller Mill, under the
management of Paul W. Rothe, is
running full blast and is grinding out
flour, the brands being Snowball and |
Salle. The farmers are bringing wheat '
and exchanging for flour and feed. !
The mill is stocked un with bran and |
shorts. The establishment of the
Denton mill means a convenience and
means a convenience and
saving to the farmers of this commun
ity as well as to the town of Denton.
"Mr. Rothe is an expert miller and
is pleased with the location and he
says he can get wheat to operate the
mill night and day."
Because of the economic rules that
govern the wheat and flour prices pre
valent in this state, the farmers
should create as many custom mills
as they can use. and avoid the Minne
apolis wheat freight tax to the great
est extent possible. At present whent
raised here brings the Minneapolis
price, less the freight to Minneapolis.
and the Minneapolis price is the world
price, less the freight to Liverpool.
Flour milled in Montana from wheat
raised here and sold to Montana mil
lers sells in the state for a somewhat
Tower rate than Minneapolis flour, but
does not nearly meet the demand for
flour and hence many flour consum
ers, including farmers, have to pay
the Minneapolis price.
In view of this the local customs
flour mill is a substantial help to
Montana wheat raisers who are able
to get flour and feed through it.
ASK OBSERVANCE OF
BETTER HOMES WEEK
The following is a copy of a letter
sent to the Federated Women's Clubs
in Montana by Mrs. W. I. Higgins of
Butte:
"Dear Madam President and Club
Members:
"Your state federation president,
Mrs. S. M. Souders, appointed me, as
chairman of the 'art in the home and
garden' committee, to present plans
for your consideration regarding tre
'Better Homes in America' movement.
The appointment and the literature
explaining the campaign came too late
to ask you to observe the national
, m ^ ^ „
better Homes week. Oct. 9 to Oct.
14. Therefore, will you consider ob
serving this most excelent educational
movement during the last week in
November or the first week in De
cember? The plan indorsed by the
advisory council, composed of Calvin
Coolidge. vice president of the United
States; Herbert Hoover and other
members of the cabinet and experts
on housing, sanitation, financing,
equipment, furnishing, etc., is com
pletely outlined in the plan book, which
may be secured by writing to Mrs.
I William Brown Meloney, 223 Spring
street, New York city.
"Mr. Hoover says 'Better homes in
America, with its intensive applica
tion of principles in a demonstration
week, must surely meet the approval
of every public-spirited American.'
While attending a 'Better Homes' ex
hibition in Ohio, President Harding
said he hoped to see such a demon
stration in every town in the United
States during October, 1922. The
general plan is to secure a suitable
house for the demonstration in which
is installed correct equipment and ar
tistic furnishings. Every labor-sav
ing device for the home-maker should
be on exhibit as part of the proper
equipment.
"The plan also is to have an inter
esting program of lectures and cook
ing demonstrations, both at the dem
onstration house and at the schools.
"To secure the co-operation of the
merchants and newspapers as well as
civic and commercial bodies is re
quired to make the demonstration a
success.
^ y' ,u cannot carry out the plan
as outlined this year, perhaps you
can start the idea by having a home
econoi1 iics and domestic art exhibit
su °h as is being held this week under
the direction of the chamber of com
merce of Butte. This exhibit is pri
marily for the school children, altho
there is a department for adults. The
better homes department will exhibit
photographs of well-designed houses,
b°th exterior and interior views, map
az '" p eu ts of various features in in
terior decoration, samples of wall pa
per, textiles and other household fur
nishings. Should you hold such an
exhibit and have the space, your
merchants will be glad to have the
opportunity to exhibit wall paper,
furniture and furnishings. Especially
will the dealers in electrical equip
ment and supplies furnish all the lat
est in their line. If it is not possibe
to have an exhibit, perhaps you will
discuss the better homes subject at
one of your club meetings, if you have
Jot already done so.
"Excellent as is the idea of a dem
onstration week, I should like to feel
that sufficient interest had been ere
f te(1 in the 'home beautiful' so that
m every town in the United States
there would be organized an arts and
crafts society. The course of study
would include domestic architecture,
interior decoration and the various
arts and crafts.
"The motto of such a club could
well be: 'Have nothing in your home
which you do not know to be useful,
or believe to be beautiful.' by William
Morris. This great leader of the arts
and crafts movement also said: 'Real
art, the expression of man's happiness
in his labor—an art made by the peo
ple, for the people, as a happiness to
the maker and to the user.' A' - t does
not mean the production of pictures
and statues only; it means the prac
tical application to the needs of daily
life.
"In response to a number of in
quiries for programs for clubs in
terested in art in the home, I am en
closing three: One on 'The Arts and
Crafts Movement,' using 'Hopes and
Fears for Art,' by William Morris as
a guide; another, the 'Illustrated Out
line of Art' (blue print art talks) by
Maj. Arthur de Bles, and a third 'Art
in the Home.'
"In order to create more interest in
art in the home you may find it
efficacious to announce a photograph
ic competition for the best designed
houses. Awards could be given for

federation meeting to be held at An
aconda. The prize winning photographs
wil be exhibited and award«
exhibited and awards made
from these for the best designed
homes in Montana.
"If your club is interested in this
movement I hope you will organize arç
arts and crafts department, if you
have none; or that one of your club
members organize either an'art class
^ 11CI
or an arts and eraftfT club

"Through Mrs. Walter S. Little,
chairman of art, the general federa
tion of women's clubs offer interest
ing illustrated lectures on 'Art in the.
Home,' 'Color and Furnishings,' 'Ar
tistic Furniture,' 'Industrial Art '
School Art,' 'Pottery,' etc.
"If you have not already done so,
please send me the name of the chair

BIG PROSPECTS FOR
MILK RIVER VALLEY
. l4 . . , ,,
vt-ii ■ icultural possibilities of the
i l c river valley have never been
thoroughly appreciated, largely be
cause the lands have been in the hands
of large owners who are more inter
ested in cattle feeding or wheat raising
than in the cultivation of more valu
able crops, according to government
officials, who have studied the situ-'J
ation.
rpv , . , ,
Ihere has not been as yet a dem

onstration and full understanding of
&
the type or system of agriculture
which is post profitable; nor has
there been a general understanding
of the fact that with the great diver
sity of soils different methods of farm
ing must be adopted. The soils range
from light, rich, alluvial sandy loam;
to very heavy clays, or adobe. The
owners of these lands have not taken
sufficient pains to discriminate be
tween these different types of soil,
and have tried to raise cultivated crops j
for example, on the heavy soils, and !
in some cases have neglected the !
lighter soils, becoming discouraged
and condemning further efforts, large-1
ly because they have not succeeded in
raising on the heavy soils hte crops
which might be very successful else
where.
For example, even on the heaviest
soils, when skillfully handled, alfalfa
has been highly successful, but un
fortunately some farmers have at
tempted to raise potatoes or sugar
beets, and have found that the cost
of plowing and preparing the soil
has exhausted the value of the re
turns. In short, in going over the sit
uation, the slow development of ir- i
rigation of valley lands may be at-j
tributed not so much to the soil and
climate as to the lack of activity cau
tiously directed. Fundamentally this
can be traced back to the greater land
ownership and the desires of these
owners to speculate in the land and in
cattle, rather than to inform them
selves through results obtainable by
agricultural experients, and carry out
the laborous work of well-directed
farming.
Whenever these lands are placed
upon the market as prices and terms
consistent with their true value, and
homeseekers are correctly informed as
to these values and the methods of
cultivating the soil, there should be no
difficulty in building up communities
along the Milk river valley. There
are opportunities for thousands of
small self-supporting farm homes. The
soil, climate and transportation facil
ities are favorable. There are no in
surmountable obstacles interposed by
nature which have not been, or cannot
be, corrected by the use and extension
of the irrigation systems already ex
isting. The obstacles to be overcome
are not physical; they a:e wholly men
tal and of human origin, resulting
from the lack of morale, or will to win.
on the part of the people now holding
or controling the land. When once
these people can be brought to see the
great possibilities of the future, and
! realize that these possibilities cannot
j be attained until the lands are in the
I fl . anf ' s Pe°P'e who will live upon
them, progress will be delayed.
The present owners must also ap
preciate that to get the right kind of
people, prices and farms must be
made attractive. No one is going to
the Milk river valley to buy land at
high prices in order to enrich the
present owners; they will buy only be
cause they believe the prices are lower
than for equally good land elsewhere.
When the people who now hold these
irrigated lands out of use reallv ap
preciate the situation, they will see
that their continuance in business and
increase in prosperity would be better
promoted by actually giving away the
lands to the right kind of people than
by trying to sell them at prices which
will destroy the ability of these peo
ple to get a foothold on the soil and
cultivate it properly. While there is
no necessity of literally giving away
the land, yet to attract the right kind
of people, the prices and terms must
be such as to let the prospective pur
chasers believe that they are getting
a bargain or a square deal.
Discussion has already been had of
the practicability of giving to some or
ganization interested in the develop
ment of the valley on option for, sav
five years, on these lands. This will
enable the lands to be broadly ad
vertised, and prospective purchasers
to study the actual demonstration of
success. Without such binding op
tion, experience has shown that it is
useless to advertise widely the ad
vantages of the valley, because of
the fact that in the past when the
home makers have appeared upon the
ground the prices have been doubled
or even trebled—thus frightening the
would-be purchasers away.
MAYA YS. BITRMANS
FRIENDLY PEOPLE
Charles W. Blythe, an Englishman
who is journeying on foot from Sing
apore to Calais, France, and London,
recently arrived in Rangoon and is
now on his way to Calcutta. He in
tends to pursue his way through nor
thern India, Baluchistan and Persia
to Shat-el-Alab, whence he will fol
low the Euphrates to its source and
make his way through Asia Minor
and Europe. He hopes to arrive in
England by the end of 1923.
Mr. Blythe, who has already covered
2,100 miles of his trip, thinks that his
last 200 miles in Siam constituted as
difficult a country as he shall ever
encounter. He carries no firearms
or weapons of any kind and has not
yet had need of any. His pack weighs
from 20 to 40 pounds and consists of
clothes, focd, maps, notebooks and
simple camp utensils.
Malays and Burmans, the traveler
says, are the most friendly people he
has encountered so far. The Siamese
he ranks last, although none of them
have been definitely unfriendly.
Describing some of the adventures
he has had since leaving Singapore Mr.
Blythe says in part:
"I wished to traverse Siam with all
possible speed. From Kuen Nung
my troubles commenced. Roads in the
ly
of
A

interior of Siam are nonexistant. Ev
en cart roads are termed so by cour
tesy. For two days I traveled by
.earth paths, sleeping in farmers'
,h 0usesj until I reached Patalung, which
j g a ra ji wa y town not far from the
coast. The place being infested with
mosquitos I requested the station mas
ter to allow me to sleep in the waiting
room, which request he granted.
"Leaving Patalung I entered the

"It was remarkable that I encoun
tered no wild animals and very few

Some 40 miles north . of Chaum
P^on I was very puzzled to account for
fact that large expanses of the
hillsides were cleared off and used as
grazing grounds for cattle, as I had
not credited the Siamese with suffi
cient energy to clear large areas of
hill jungle. I was told that seme fiO
years ago a terrible tempest swept
across the isthmus of Kra and des
troyed all the vegetation.
"From Prechaup Kirikan the coun
try became Siam of the picture books
pagodas perched on seemingly inac
i cessible crags, natives clad in brilliant
c '° re( ^ clothing; quaint ox-carts;
priests and monks and monasteries;
herds of vicious-looking water buffalo,
and rice fields everywhere.
"I entered Bangkok July 23, exact
ly two months after leaving Singapore.
Bangkok, like most large towns of
the East, is a curious mixture of West
and East, the old and the new. Pal
atial reinforced concrete buildings are
jostled by wretched hovels, foul-smel
ling, winding lanes lead from spaci
ous boulevards. Pagodas stand a
stone's throw from churches.
"The old walls of Bangkok are a
fine example of the fortifications as
understood by the Oriental nations.
Miles in length, averaging 30 feet in
height by some 20 in thickness and
built of massive blocks of granite,
they present a fine spectacle. The gov
eminent houses are built of stone and
are imposing structures. About half
a dozen of the far-tamed white ele
phants are housed there. The tram
way service in Bangkok is the most
comfortable of all I tested in Asia.
"At Ban Dara, my northernmost
limit in Siam, I turned Southwest and
arrived in a relatively large town
named Swankaloke. While talking
with the schoolmaster he jokingly re
marked that I was a spy. The local
chief of police immediately became en
amored with the idea and I spent an
uncomfortable 30 minutes relieving his
doubts."
STICK TO YOUR JOB
Diamonds are only chunke of coal
That stuck to their jobs, you see
If they'd petered out like the most of

Where would the diamonds be?
It isn't the fact of making a start
It's the sticking that counts, I'll say.
It's the fellow that knows not the
meaning of fail,
Whenever you think you've come to
the end
And you're beaten as bad as can be,
Remember that diamonds are chunks

VALUE OF WOOD AS
A HOUSEHOLD FUEL
Probably wood is not available at
present nor is it adapted to the need|
of all as a household fuel, neverthe
less it has certain advantages for
that purpose which are often over
looked.
It has been determined by careful
experimnets conducted at the Forest
Products laboratory at Madison, iWs
eonsin, that when a good soft coal is
selling at $12.00 per ton you can af
ford to buy a cord of wood at the fol
lowing rates, including the cost of
sawing into stove lengths:
Red or Douglas fir, $7.20.
Larch or tamarac, $8,87
Lodgpole pine, yellow pine or hem
lock, $7.00
White pine $7.00.
Wood burned green has about 90
per cent of the fuel value of thorughly
air seasoned wood, but it is much
more difficult to start and makes
more smoke.
The bark of such woods as Douglas
fir has about the same heating value
of an equal volume of wood. Pound
for pound of weight and conditions of
dryness and similar methods of util
ization all kinds of wood have very
nearly equal heating value, but a mea
sured cord of hard wood will weigh a
great deal more than a cord of equal
ly dry soft wood, and is therefore cap
able of producing more heat. Wood
cut from dead trees, if sound, will not
produce an appreciably less amount
of heat than that cut from green trees
and seasoned.
A ton of good coal will liberate
sufficient soot to damage the appear
ance of your neighbor's Monday morn
ing washing and will also produce
200 to 300 pounds of worthless ashes
for you to carry out and dispose of.
A cord of wood makes very little soot
and will produce less than 60 pounds
of ashes, containing about two pounds
of lime, both of lime, both of which j
are valuable fertilizer for your garden,
orchard or berry patch.
REMOVAL OF FEDERAL
TAXES SAVES MONEY
The people of Montana will be saved
a large amount of money during the
present year, due to the removal of
the tax on soda fountain beverages and
ice cream, according to officials of
the internal revenue bureau. Many
people will also benefit by the increase
in the amount of exemptions on in
come tax.
For the entire state of Montana, the
saving to taxpayers will amount to
" * 1 tlK
nearly $3,000,000 by the removal of
* j , . J ... ,
? T'.oa^ ™
effective January 1, 1922. The income
tax reduction became partially effec
tive for the year of 1921, according
to officials.
The new exemption allowed heads
of families and their dependents is
now $2,500 and $400, which means a
saving in taxes of $28 for a couple
with one child. The remainder of the
income tax reduction is divided be
tween the corporations, and individu
als with income of over $5.000, who
pay surtaxes.
A further relief has been afforded
the people by the repeal of the trans
portation tax, which affects every per
son who pays freight, travels, sends
a package, or buys a Pullman berth.
Although the Montana district faces
a tax reduction of more than $1,000,
000, it is predicted that the total col
lections for the coming year will be
increased over last year. Improved
business conditions in the /,tate are
responsible for this it is said.
MONTANA MOTORISTS
ARE MORE CAREFUL
Automobile drivers in Montana are
operating their cars more carefully
than they were operated in 1917, ac
cording to the government report made
of the number of persons killed in au
tomobile accidents in the years from
1917 to 1921. In 1917 the death rate
of persons killed in automobile acci
dents was 11.7 people to every 100,000
of population. In 1921 the rate was 8
persons to every 100,000 of popula
tion.
There were 46 persons killed in au
tomobile accidents in Montana in
1921; 48 in 1920; 45 in 1919; 64 in
1918 and 59 in 1917. In 1918 the death
rate per 100,000 of population was 12.3
per cent.
New York killed 1.633 persons, the
^uost killed in any state in the union.
Pennsylvania was second with 1,086;
Illinois third with 886 and California
fourth with 865.
The average in the United States
shows an increase in the number of
people killed in automobile accidents
to be 28 per cent since 1917. A total
of 6.014 was killed in 1917 and a total
of 8,492 in 1921.
ENLISTMENTS WANTED
AT FORT MISSOULA
Missoula.—The enlisted strength of
the army on October 20 was 118,625,
or 6,735 below the authorized strength.
Enlistments are wanted for all the
branches of the service. There is a
recruiting office in the chamber of
commerce building, Butte, and at Fort
Missoula.
The garrison at Fort Missoula is
132 men below its authorized strength.
There are five vacancies in the quar
termaster corps, two in the medical
department, one in the finance de
partment and 124. in the infantry.
The recruiting officer wishes to fill
these vacancies with Montana men if
possible.
CONSTANTINE SAYS WILSON'S
POWER GREATER THAN KING'S
"The king business" and what Con
stantine of Greece thought about it
and about American presidents are
picturesquely discussed by William G.
Shepherd in "Our World" for Novem
ber, in terms of an interview he had
with the recently deposed monarch at
the time of his former exile in Swit
zerland. Mr. Shepherd describes a
reception of American correspondents
by the ex-ruler, and how the started
the discussion of the question of the
rights and kings with the question:
"Do you remember that King Ed
ward once said that being a king was
a business and that that kings must
stand together?"
"Yes," (came the answer with a
smile, "I remember that he was said
to have said something like that."
"Do you mind telling us how the
king business is getting along?" I
asked.
He took the question exactly as I
had meant it.

king by divine right?" he asked.
"Yes," I answered.
And then some other correspondent
joined in.
"You see," explained this corres
pondent, "we are all Americans and
it is hard for us to get the viewpoint
of European people toward their mon
archs. You knew every person who
sat on a throne in Europe before the
war, didn't you?"
"Why, yes," said Constantine, smil
ing. "I knew all the royal families^
of course. The question of the divine
right of kings is a dead issue among
them; the theory has passed away
forever." And then, after a moment's
hesitation, he said:
"There was one exception in Eu
rope. The kaiser believed that he ruled
by divine right, and many of the Ger
man people believed it. But in every
country except Germany the divine
right idea had passed away long be
fore the war."
"Did the czar of Russia believe that
he ruled by divine right?" I asked.
"Not a bit," said Constantine. "The
idea annoyed him, I know. He wasn't
that far behind the times among the
royal families."
And then came Constantine's turn
at us.
"I've told you." he said, "that I've
known all the kings and queens of
Europe. But let me tell you this,"
and he spoke with a fiery emphasis:
"I never knew a king or queen in
Europe who had half the power that
Americans have given to Wilson. They
wouldn't have dared to do things that
he did during the war. They couldn't
have obtained the power to do such
things."
"But," one of us answered, "we
have a chance to put a president out
of office forever once every four years

lot of red tape about opening an account.

takes about a minute to open an account. After
that you can be systematic about the money you
receive and pay out, you will have a legal receipt
for every dollar expended, you can enjoy the con
