REPRESENTATIVE
AT SESQUI EXPO
Henry C. Cupp, Brother of Mrs.
J. R. Poor of Bozeman, in
Charge of Illinois Building
Mrs. J. R. Poor has received a let
ter from her brother, Henry C. Cupp
of Springfield, Ills., who is deputy
commissioner of that state to the
Sesqui-Centennial Exposition in Phil
adelphia, describing events there on
Dedication day, September 21.
Mr. Cupp, who is a personal
friend of Governor Len Small of Il
linois and is prominent politically
in that state, was in charge of the
Illinois building at the Sesqui
Sept. 21 and was one of a party of
widely known men who participated
in the ceremonies. The group, which
on
included Governor Small, Deputy
Commissioner Cupp, Senator Boyd,
Lieutenant Governor Sterling and
Representative A. Otis Arnold, all of
Illinois, was photographed for the
"movies."
There are several deputy commis
sioners from Illinois, and each was in
charge of that state's building at the
Sesqui for 15 days. The position is
almost entirely honorary, no salary
being paid although $100 a week was
allowed by the state for expenses.
Mr. Cupp's stay at the exposition be
gan September 10 and ended Septem
ber 25, when he left for his home in
Springfield, Ills.
The Sesqui-Centennial, Mr. Cupp
writes Mrs. Poor, is a wonderful ex
position. "I would not have missed
it for five hundred dollars," he.de
dares. In a later communication Mr.
Cupp enclosed a card bearing a pic
ture of the room in which Betsy
Ross, of Revolutionary fame, design
ed and manufactured the Union's
first flag, and added: 'T'was here
this morning," This reference is of
particular interest to Mrs. Poor, be
cause Betsy Ross was her great
great aunt.
Mr. Cupp is known by a number of
people in Bozeman, he having visited
his sister here about a year ago.
New Kalispell-Libby road, 36 miles,
will shorten old route by 20 miles.

You expect to live a long time in your home.
For this reason the heating system should be pur
chased with a thought to its lasting qualities.
•
Stoves of course, are not satisfactory; because
they, like other antiquated heating methods, are
hard to regulate and are therefore wasteful of fuel.
Steam, hot water or vapor heating systems are
built and installed with the knowledge that they
are a permanent part of the building's equipment,
ending the need for frequent replacement. Tears
of satisfactory service and economy make them the
ideal method of heating any building—large or
small.
Radiator heat is easy to control. Fuel waste,
through over-heating need never happen. The fuel
save, through long years of service from radiator
heating systems, amounts to much more than theÿ
cost.
We will plan economical radiator heat lor any
building or residence—gladly.

HOW GOOD ROADS
Bill MAY AFFECT
GALLATIN COUNTY
Gallatin county has about 3,800 au
tomobiles and trucks which, allowing
them an average value of $800 each,
represent an investment of $3,040,
000. One cent added to the present
gasoline tax under Initiative Bill No.
31 would bring about the construction
by the state within 10 years of 24
miles of uncompleted federal high
way in Gallatin county.,
posed measure would protect the
county's large investment in automo
tive property against the obstacles
of bad roads, and the additional cost
This
pro
to the individual motor vehicle own
er would be less than $3.50 a year by
the added gas tax.
These figures are taken from an
estimate by the Montana Automobile
association, which is presenting the
measure to the public in an effort to
have it passed at the November 22
election, and give Montana a system
of improved highways.
Motor license fees received in Gal
latin county so far this year total
$41,000. The county would still keep
these fees for its own use under Bill
31 as it does now, and this revenue,
together with its regular road levies,
could be spent by county commis
sioners on farmers' lateral and in
termediate roads, whereas, most of
it is required under the present pro
gram for use on the county's federal
highways. Under Initiative Bill No.
31, the county would get more of
both federal and local highways than
it can possibly get wider the pres
ent law.
The motor vehicle owners of the
state are more than willing to as
sume the small expense of the added
tax to get improved highways; the
counties will get more roads without
interest-bearing bond issues; and the
state will get a highway sjptem com
parable with those of its neighbors.
The statement concludes that there
are no reasonable grounds for oppo
sition to the proposed measure.
TEACHING AGRICULTURE
Twenty-three of Montana's h : °' v
schools this year are conducting
special departments of instruction in
agriculture under the federal Smith
Hughes law, according to
