One hundred and fifty school teachers recently answered the ques- tion, and with enthusiasm and unani- mity the judges awarded the prize to the one who made this reply. \The wife of a farmer of moderate means who does her own cooking, washing. ironing. sewing, bring up a family of boys and girls to he useful members of society and has time for intellectual improvement.\ When a man is nearly froze from'a ten mile drive on a cold winter day, he will hardly stop to read a blank adver- tisement. But at home in his warm chair with his legs crossed before a cheerful fire he reads his local paper, and while he is feeling good and has plenty of time, picks out the live busi- ness man of the town from the adver- tisements in the paper and makes up hi S\ mind where he will trade on his next trip to tow n. The average fakir can take a stand on a drygoods box on a prominent street corner and in an hour can talk an audience of three dozen people out of $50 to $100. The editor of the home paper might assume the position the position and plead twice as long to twice the number for the price of a year's subscription to the paper that congratulates a man on • his marriage. that annonnils the birth of his children, tells where the neighbors spent the Sabbath, tells him of whipping his wife, warns him of tricksters and fa- kirs, points him out as a wretch and a scoundrel when he has to go to jail. ‘, that bears the great burden of grief and sympathy of the entire community for a whole week when he dies, an at , the same time bidding him a success- ful journey to the - happy hunting grounds;\ yet the home paper is, scarcely recognized in comparison with ithe shekels that await the fakir.

It is because of the lack of home comfort that such great numbers of our young men and women ' are drifting to the city.

The newest paper in Montana is The Cascade Echo and is Published every • Eltursday by R. E. Hartman. who is well known in this sek/tn . of the state.

In every county and in every state can be found towns tit are continu- ally forging ahead, while others in the same vicinity remain psactically at a Stand still and accomplish nothing in the way improvements or advance- ment. ln every case the fault can be found to rest, not with the town. but with the people themselves. s' The reason why some towns grow is because they have men in them with push and energy who are not afarid to spend their time, energy and money in an -thing that will boom and bene- fit the town. They have confidence enough in their town to erect substan- tial and modern buildings and residence and work for public Improvement in the same order. They organize stock eompanies and establish factories, in- duce industrial enterprises to locate and use every means to limber the best interests of the town. Their work is never considered finished and the accomplishment of one thing is only an incentive of another. On the other hand the town that does not get ahead will be found to be dominated by either a set of men who are perfectly satisfied with their sur- roundings or who are afraid somebody else swill be benefited in the event some- thing is started, consequently no effort of any kind is made by this class for these' two reasons. If some men, or set of men, endeavor to start soniething, they are met by opposition and dis- couragement and it is uphill work all the way and very often failure. Every town, however, has a certain progressive element which hopes for a turn of the tide when it it ill go for- ward by leaps and bounds and occupy a position of importance along with other numerous advantages which goes to make a good town in every sense the word implies. But this stage can- not be accomplished by mere wishes , or suggestions. It can only come from harmony in purpose and action and the eternal vigilance of its citizens. The town with these things will con- tinue to grow and improve, but the town without them can be expected to remain in a state of lethargy in- definitely without affording its resi- dents anything but a mere existence. Yes it cost something in the matter of coal, but we are economizing beautifiully on ice. Among the many good things which help to make up the happiness of a home, are the weekly visits of this paper.
