Women Run Bum
Out of Town
A crazy bum. who thought the world!
owed him everything visited the Car-'
penter and Chattin homes last week
end. and after being fed and treated
like a human being, he got nasty and
the women folks had to run him out
of town with a broom. Of course
Charlie and Earl denied any know
ledge of the occurence. but the girls
say they don't need any male as
sistance when dealing with that class
of bums—a good broom with long
bristles i• all that’s necessary. Any
way the bum hasn't been seen since.

Forecast For 19Al Portrays A Bright
Future For Glacier County Farmers
Agriculture's outlook for 1941. based
upon a comprehensive study made by ।
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
during recent weeks, is one of the j
most heartening in years, summary of
which has been prepared by County ।
Extension Agent R. G. Newell for the
guidance of Glacier county stockmen
and ranchers.
Several hundred copies will be in
he mail early next week, according to (
him. the office having held up de- j
.iveiy until then pending a more op
portune time for distribution.
The summary is prefaced by the j
statement that plans are just as ne
cessary to the agriculture business as
to others, and that in view of this the 1
department feels its obligation to avail
farmers and ranchers the benefit of
its recent study. It is pointed out tha’
war conditions in the old world may
give rise to developments as to influ
ence one way or another the final re
ality.
In general, the department’s stud:
affords the following picture:
<a Better domestic demand so:
farm products.
b > Smaller exports.
(c) Higher general average of pric
es.
•d) Larger cash incomes from mar-,
k etings.
<e> Fann income may be the larg
est since 1929.
• f Fewer farm workers may be
available.
<g) Costs may be larger.
(h> Production may be smaller.
(i) Carry-overs will be large in
many items.
(jl Production for domestice mar
kets will be in the best shape.
<k) Main support to prices and in
come from wheat, cotton and tobac
co will be government loan and ex
port programs.
<ll Agriculture is and will be in ex
cellent shape to "dove-tail” into the
National Defense program.
The national defense program, it is
explained, will increase consumer in
come: result in five billion dollars
more being spent than in 1941 and in
general cause business to be better

proving the victim had met with
foul play, as was at first suspect
ed.

mother, .Mrs. Joe Danans. and a
half-brother and half-sister. Joe.

Name of Chief
Changed to
Browning Chief
With this issue of the Glacier Coun
ty Chief the name of the paper has
been slightly changed to read the
"Browning Chief ’. Tne public invari- j
ably calls it the Browning Chief, and
outside correspondence is addressd 9
out of 10 times to the Browning Chiei
—its shorter and mere easily remem
bered. We hope our readers will like,
the change and assure them that the
Chief this year will be bigger and bet
ter than ever. Happy New Year.
$2 Poor Tax to
Be Paid by All
Males 21 to 60
The two-dollar poor fund tax will be
among the collections to be made b
the county treasurer's office in 1941.
according to Mrs. Margaret Carberry.
The tax will be collectable throughout
1941. All male persons between 21 and
I GO with the exception of tho-e in ex
emption clasess, are required to pay
the tax.
। The funds are used lor county wel
fare work.
NOTICE
The Met!. list W ■ Soeiet of
Christian Service will meet in the
1 church parlors Thursday afternoon.
Jan 9. at 2:30 o'clock Mrs. Donald
Schmidt and Mrs. Hazen Lawson will
।be the hostesses. All ladies are cordi
| ally invited to attend.
Pertinent is the statement that the
| new year should see a three million 1
• reduction in the ranks of the unem
ployed.
; The situation with jegard to wool,
i one of Montana's major crops, is ex
| plained in the following:
1. For several months there will be
| a strong domestic demand but domes
tic prices will depend a great deal c:.
the prices paid for imported wool
2. An important factor on wool
i prices will be.
<a> the amount cf Australian u.ni
| South African wool released for ex
: port.
<b» the prices fixed for this wool
! by Britain.
i 3. The military demands for woe
will be offset in part by the fact tha:
the wool supplies available to Britain
and the U. S. are much greater no >
than before the war
4. The blockade is keeping wool out
l of ma«t countries. Britain. U S.. and
Japan are about the ’.ar-est consume:
, that can get wool.
5 As government orders are filled
for clothing, blankets, etc., mill con
, sumption is expected to increase in
j the first part of 1941.
6. The supply of wool in all -cm
i tions in the U. S. on September 1. was
estimated to be somewhat larger than
1 a year earlier, but. it is small when
considered in relation to the probably
| domestic consumption in the next sev
eral months.
An important highlight is that hog
i cattle and lambs will average higher
! than 1940.
I Montanans' Inc. in a recent compil-
I ation of income figures for
major industries in 1940 set forth the
following of interest in connection
with the department's forecast for the
new year:
Crops $65,000,000
Livestock - $55,000,000

The nationwide Catholic Hour was
inaugurated on March 2. 1930. by the
National Council of Catholic Men
with the cooperation of the National
Broadcasting Company and its asso
ciated stations Radio facilities are
provided gratuitously by NBC and the
stations associated with it: the pro
| gram is arranged and produced by
N C C M.
The Catholic Hour was begun on a
network of 22 stations, and now car
ries its message of Catholic truth on
each Sunday of the year <and Good
Friday through a number of stations
1 varying from 81 to 95. situated in 42
the District of Columbia and
Hawaii including one short-wave sta
•:on broadcasting to the entire west
ern world Consisting of an address
i mainly expository by one or another
i America's leading Catholic preach
-1 ers and of sacred music provided
by one of Father Finn's musi
j cal units, the Catholic Hour has dis
! tinguished itself as one of the most
impressive and appealing religious
broadcasts in the world. An average
of 25.000 commendatory letters a
month, about twenty percent of which
come from listeners of otl\er faiths,
cives some indication of its populari
ty and influence In addition to copies
of addresses and other literature. 300.-
000 prayer books were distributed to
enquirers without charge during the
first three months of 1940.
The program’s production costs run
to approximately $43,000 a year—a
little less than ten dollars per station
per Sunday—which must be raised
entirely by voluntary subscription.
The National Council of Catholic Men
invites all thasc who are interested in
the maintenance of this far-reaching
and effective work of religion to con
tribute to its support.
