Chapmkn Administrator George Banks THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1923 ALL IN THE SAME BOAT If the past two years have taught any particular lesson to the coun try ft has been the lesson that one class of people cannot endure adver sity or enjoy prosperity without af fecting other classes of people, Farmers and stockmen had a had year in 1921 and a more prosper ous year in 1922. Looking over the commercial and industrial figures for the two years one is struck by the evidence that trade and com merce suffered and recovered as producers did. In some quarters there has been a disposition to believe that farm ers and stock growers suffered more than others in the post-war read just.! ent This may be true and yet now that those dark days are past it develops that no line of business es caped. Long daily lists of com mercial failures proved this and the fact that there were not more fail ures in 1921 was dae to the splen did functioning of the Federal Re serve system. If farmers and stock in'«*. had had the same credit pro- taction they would not have been hit so hard. Another generally accepted theo ry also received a severe Jolt. A good many people have believed that farmers could get alon£ fairly well regardless of how .other classes of people fared. The experience of IS 91 tceded to disabuse the popular mind of this idea. There was a time when this might have been tree, but ft is not tree today.

If one of them kicks over and refuses to do its part the whole system Is thrown out of order.

Under the bdshevist theory in Russia workers are arbitrarily as signed by the govts ament- to cer tain industries. Their assignment is compulsory.

SENATOR BORAH DISAPPOINTS Borah is an enigma, At times he spiaks and comports himself like a statesman, and on other occasions he goes off at a tangent and babbles non -ense.

M., stands u peculiar peak, peculiar In that certain stones, foufid ai -its summit, bear the shape of a cross, some of them so perfect that one would Imagine they hud been curved from the living rock by the fingers of a skilled sculptor. But more peculiar still is the fact that these stones, no matter how many times they may be broken or crushed, even though they be broken into a dozen fragments, will still retain their shape, every fragment a perfect cross iu It self, About tlie.se stones Is woven a legend, not of any particular Indian tribe or family, probably started by l lie early Indian Christians or pos sibly L<y the Spanish who settled the country. At any rate it is a beauti ful lillle story, and so characteristic that it is worth relating here. The legend in itself is well known to the Indian and Mexican settlers of the re gion, and is frequently related, while hits of the roek are to be found in virtually every household. Tire legend Is us follows. Long years ago, when the country was new, the land was unknown to Hie white man, but Indian tribes found here u prosperous, well watered conn try, where they could live in case, without hard work and without great effort. So the land became popu lated and each tribe had its own re ligion and each its own gods, which were worshiped faithfully. But when the Spanish settlers came into Mexico small parlies of them were constantly making Journeys iini'tlrward, where they expected to find gold and sliver.

While It is always good dur ing every winter season, this year It is better than ever, and of all the col lections shown by the smart dttjgs- makers there is a preponderane^of black velvet, made up in many orig inal ways. There is not a great deal of trimming added, for the trimming is honored to the extent of holding the floor by Itself. But the fabric is handled in such a way that in it self it manages to take the place of both foundation material and decora tion, too. And many of the gowns made from it are positively beautiful in their expression. Particularly lovely are dinner gowns in black velvet, for they have u semi- formal appearance which is most at tractive, and they are even better than the full evening dresses, for they cun afford to have a great deal more trimming and to be fuller and more graceful in line—that Is graceful with reference to the quality of the fabric. Black velvet is also extremely good for evening coats and is trimmed with Hie puffiest and most sirmptuous of Curs, so that the whole wrap takes on ttmt luxurious quality so to be de sired for evening wear. White velvet Is also one of me favorite materials for evening, and sometimes these two are combined in a most effective manner. A frock of black and white velvet designed^ in Paris by Martial et Armand has a little loose jacket of the white that Is embroidered with threads of black and gffiy and silver'in a lacy pattern around the edges of the little coat. There is u fringe of white to make a finish and Hie costume succeeds in being the most effective of Its sort. Tiie wide sleeves are faced In white and tin* gown manages, chiefly by reason of Its conl.ru.st, to create a dis tinctly picturesque appearance. t Beaverhead Abstract Co j Oldest Set of Abstract Books in Beaverhead County.

L1KEH THE Li and u Id veek George Ii Cole of Bp d,e was a business visitor in Wisdom Monday from the hills east of us where he lias a lease and bond on some min ing claims belonging to the Wilke brothers Frank and George. After getting his supplies he returned to the mountains. To a News reporter Mr. Cole said: \We have a very promising silver lead and I am satisfied we will de velop a mine. At any rate there is going to be a crew at work up there just as soon as the weather condi tions warrant such expenditure.” With the opening of a single pay streak there will he a rush into the mountains adjacent Af> Wisdom that will sqipr»* YKeTnatives.

He skongly favored the prohitrttion amendment and was delivering a lecture at a temperance meeting. \If there is any man here,” he shouted, \who ean name any honest business that has been helped by the saloon, I will give half my -wealth to defeat prohibí t ion! ” His challenge was met with si lence for a moment; then a m m to the audience arose asá said: \I consider my business an honest one and strictly necessary, and it has undoubtedly been helped by the sa loon.\ * ‘‘What is your business?” shouted the orator. , \1 sir, ara an undertaker,\ re plied the other.. tribesmen were stubborn and demand «■<’ some sign of the strength of ttie white man’s god liefere they would cense Hie worship of Hie stone images which they had set up. The priests, seeing' tills, were very sml, and went to the mountiiui lop and prayed for three days and three nights that there might he some sign from helix en, Hint Hie tribesmen would lie com ¡lined. Finally in answer totheU prayer, tlie Christ appeared on the mountain top and spoke to them and then pleaded with the tribesmen that they would follow tlie advice of Hie priests and worsiiip the white man's Hod. , But the tribesmen were obdu rate. and so the Christ knelt there on the mountain top and prayed that these Indians might be made to see the right. And as lie prayed lie wept, and Hie tears fell from Ilis eyes to flip ground, and there they were turned into rocks as fast as they fell. And every rock was in the shape of a cross, and there were thousands of these rocks on the summit of the mountain. Tribesmen who saw them were amazed, and when they took the rooks in their hands they marveled. And some there were who broke the rocks, but no rnatier how many times they were broken, euSh small .frag ment still retained its Jfmpe and the priests pointed to the rock and said it was the sign from heaven. And the tribesmen heard and were con vinced, and therefore they, worshiped meir the white man’s God as the own. Block-Printing of Fabrics. We are indebted to an Englishman, John Hewson, for the introduction of block printing of fabrics; he coming to America in response to an invita tion from Benjamin Franklin. Roller printing—printing designs on textiles with roilers—was invented in 1770 by a Scotchman, Thomas Beil. Today iu America a mile an hour is the rate at which one of our modern mills prints textiles. Crepe de chine is today printed fa reproductions of old East Indian designs and in the “germ of life\ motif, symbolic of their religious belief; also in Persian paisley pat terns, with ali the glowing color and elaboration of design which character ize the hand woven shawls of India and band-blocked muslins of Persia.
