VOL. 23 I . H161 oRloAL 5001Ei1 OF MONTANA. HELENA THE WINIFRED TM - ES WINIFRED, MONTANA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1935. NO. 27 Forcing Us Into Inflation In a recent article, Paul Mallon, the well known Washington correspondent, wrote: \The truth is the treasury does not know what its receipts and expenditures will be next month. Its hazi- ness about the future expands at the contemplation of each sheet on the calendar. It cannot have even a faintly worthwhile opinion beyond next year.\ This is in line with the theory that many thinking Americans have been holding for some time—that federal finance is in a hope- lessly chaotic condition. Forecasts as to the future revenue have no sound basis—they usually represent optimism, rather than real- ism. The government continues to spend us farther into debt—and apparently hasn't the slightest idea of where the money is to come from to meet the obligations. One inevitable result of such a policy is constantly mounting taxes—along with new taxes. Another, and perhaps more menac- ing possibility, is inflation. All the tax laws in the world cannot produce revenue when personal pocketbooks and industrial bank balances run dry. When that happens, inflation—which can be de- fined as cheapening and degrading the currency—becomes the \easy\ way out. The perils of inflation need no description—the tragic exam- ples of Germany and other countries which experienced inflation- ary periodsiare well known. If we are to avoid such social and economical tragedies at home, government finance must undergo a thorough overhauling, both in principle and practice. Do Your Part! Fire Prevention Week is to be observed from October 6 to 12 And here is a thought worth considering in the meantime: Friendly fire—fire under control—is one of man's greatest boons. It keeps us warm, cooks our foods, motivates our indus- tries, and serves us in countless other ways. Unfriendly fire—fire out of control—is one of man's greatest enemies. It destroys property—causing irreparable economic loss. It menaces life. It hampers progress. It threatens community development, and industrial activity and employment. Somewhere, as you read this, a home is being burned to the ground. A factory building is a smoldering ruin. A man is screaming in pain from a burn that will prove fatal. All this is the result of someone's oversight, someone's carelessness, some- one's stupidity. Are you willing to do your part to minimize such happenings in the future? Fashions In Freedom \Al\ Smith, one of the nation's leading citizens, former governor of New York and Democratic candidate for president, is respected by all for his integrity, his sincerity and his shrewdness in analysing public questions. As the principal speaker at a recent dinner in New York. he said to his hearers, \Keep your eye on the Constitution.\ About the same time the German State Secretary in the Reich Ministry of Justice was informing a public gathering that the will of Hitler is the supreme law of the land. In the United States the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and the lives, liberties and fortunes of our people are not subject to the wills of dictators. But \Al\ Smith knows, as do other statesmen, that there are definite designs in our own United States to revise the Consti- tution as a document outworn—as though there were fashions in freedom. This design has shown itself in suggestions to deprive the highest judicial branch of government, the United States Supreme Court, of the power to effectively uphold what is left of the Constitution. If any think this is not a step in the direction of intolerant dictatorship as we witness it in the rest of the world, let them think again! The legistative attempts of the past several years to circum- vent the Constitution, have been plain and only the power of the United States Supreme Court to pass on such acts. has saved the American citizen his personal liberties and his property rights, and and prevented him from having the chains of dictatorship forged upon him. Take heed of the advice of men who today put country above party and stand for the perpetuation of unadulterated Americanism fostered and encouraged by Constitutional govern- ment unchanged in principle from its original design.

Don't lose sight of the mind's In- fiuence on beauty. For while we can enhance the depth and color of our eyes with eye shadow and mascara, and the outline of our lips with lip paste, if eyes and lips show a discon- tented, fretful, cynical or selfish dis- position, no make-up will hide It. The expression of our eyes and our lips truly mirror our disposition, our thoughts. We must also bear in mind the fact that health is the foundation of beau- ty. All belief to the contrary, It is not possible to be truly beautiful without perfect health. Every part of our body must be In tune. Health Is not pout- ble without proper exercise and a sane diet. Granted, that in your home lives or professional lives you are active, you are busy, still there are muscles and organs which are dormant, and only through concentrated, snappy ex- ercise can we gain that vitality so much desired. Five minutes devoted to such exercise will assure a good cir- culation, bright eyes and clear skin. Diet Is Important too. Water—eight glasses of it dally—Is another health essential and so Is fresh air. Rego - far elimination plays an important part. And restful sleep, too. These fundamentals of health are very close- ly related to beauty. Understanding these things, we un- derstand too that beauty creams and lotions play a very important part - but health must help beauty along. Some women expect both health and beauty to pop from a cleansing cream Jar. External aids alone are not ant licient. Now let us start our home treat- ment. Arrange to have everything that you will need conveniently at hand. It makes for efficiency—saves time. Perhaps you are fortunate enough to have one of the little French hand - decorated poudre tables. Or perhaps you plan to buy an unpainted one (they are reasonably priced and easily paint- ed to harmonise with bathroom or bedroom). If you do not here one, arrange your necessary preparations on a convenient Shelf, or In a large box or basket. Attention Is focused no the eyes. Not only the eyes themselves but the lashes and brows. The frame for the eyes should add beauty and expression to the picture. Brows are a more nat- ural, neat line than ever before. Stub- born little hairs that refuse to march la line are plucked—wild ones we call them. But well-behaved brows are Merely brushed carefully. Lashed come in for their share of brushing, too, and creaming anti centring eo that they curl Intreptingly. ^ THEM OF CREDIT Bank Shows How It Gives Need. 44 Aid to All Classes of Prudent Borrowers Now • bank loan portfolio presents a graphic cross section picture of the business of its community is disclosed by the description which a midwestern bank recently gave of its loans to cus- tomers. It revealed also how closely in- terwoven with its neighbors' varied livets are the threads of the bank's financial helpfulness. This description showed that the bank had made a loan of $100.000 to a local shoe manufacturer to purchase materials, discount bills and meet cur- rent requirements. To a wholesale grocer $95,000 had been advanced for the purchase of in- ventory, the loan to be repaid over a period in accordance with specified terms set forth in the loan agreement Assistance in Personal Matters Another loan had been made to a home owner to the amount of $200 for painting and repairing. This was made in cooperation with the Federal Hoes lug Administration and was being re paid in twenty -tour monthly Install ments of $8.33 each. A dentist had been loaned 5300 to purchase new equipment. He was pay- ing off the debt out of his professional earnings as they came in. To a large domestic refrigerator dis- tributor $30,000 had been granted on warehouse receipts to finance dealer shipments. A home owner had been granted a $3,000 mortage loan to be repaid in three years. One thousand dollars had been ad- vanced to an office worker on the cash surrender value of his insurance policy to aid him in meeting an emergency. The National Total It each of these various examples were multiplied many times the result would represent the total volume of credit cooperation which the bank was extending to its neighbors In its com- munity. for aggregate loans to all its customers amounted to more than twelve million dollars. It the typical examples here given were multiplied by mammy millions of times the result would represent the total economic cooperation which the banking system of the country as a eeiole is extending to aid the in- numerable personal, professional, in- dustrial and coot mereial activities which make up the whole business life of the nation. The nationwide total of such loans is in excess of 20 billion dollars. BANKS PLAN ADVERTISING Substantial funds have been set aside from reserves of the American Bankers Association to finance the development by its Advertising Department of a see vice of informative newspaper adver- tisements setting forth in brief, popular language the methods and policies under which banks operate, their ef- fective practices for protecting their depositors' funds, the services they render and the various ways in which they cooperate with business In their own communities In fostering sound re- covery and progress. Some 350 banks are now using this material and it is available at a mod- erte price for all of the members in the association who carp to use it In bringing about better public under- standing in their own communities re (carding banking and its services. It has materally stimulated the use of news- paper advertising among banks. Many favorable comments have been expressed regarding the Informative and constructive character of Its mes- sages. It is issued in two sizes: the larger size is 3 columns wide by 10 inches deep, but In some instances sub- scribing banks have expanded this to occupy full pages In their local papers in order to obtain a more emphatic effect. Four pieces of advertising copy are supplied each month in this service. BANKERS SUPPORT ACTIVE AGRICULTURAL COMMISSION The Agricultural Commission of the American Bankers Association is pro- moting widely among bankers the prac- tice of aiding their farm customers in installing on their farms better finan- cial, accounting and operating methods It also cooperates in the endeavors of the state bankers' associations along 'trailer lines The commission has published a book on \Making Farm Investments Sate,\ presenting a compendium of helpful material published over a pe- riod of years as a reference guide in the daily routine of banking and farm- ing relationships It has also published \Factors Affecting Farm Credit.\ dis- cussing In an illustrative way how farm credit can be obtained on a sound basis Another publication ts the monthly Bulletin of the commission which cir- culates to about 10.000 persons, among them the county agents throughout the United States, who make frequent use of the material and suggestions pre- pared by the commission. Likewise, the commission has appointed 2,800 key bankers covering every county In the United States, who act as focal points In their districts in fostering better understanding between bankers and Memories By HENRY MILLER • in Chit, Vt•VII•r8.17.01 .

His eyes were as clear as a child's, as trustful, as de- sirous of pleasing. She smiled back at him with faith and hope. He wished that he might go around the lake as Mr. Hendryx advised and come back with a memory of his life. lie had no memory except that of a few weeks. It began that day he had walked into the Hendry: camp. His mind had been a blank then. In the camp he saw Alice; site was leaning over some coffee. She straight- ened up; saw him. Site was the first girl he . ever remembered seeing. She had seemed like the loveliest thing any - \Hello she had said, smiling inquir- ingly. \Hello he had answered. The word had sounded strange to his ears, yet familiar. He had felt it coming nat- urally to his lips. \Con I help you?\ she asked. \Can you tell—me—esho—I am?\ he had asked, each word a new adventure to him. He stalled now, at Alice again. Dur- ing the few weeks since his birth, full grown, site had come to mean every- thing to him; love, happiness, hope. lie started to walk. His mind was Cairn. rested, for he had not troubled himself before with his identity. Perhaps halt an hour after he had left the Hendry' trio, he came to a stone. It was of granite. Fie knew that he had seen that stone before. The rains had hollowed out U sort of 1,ot in the granite, deeper than the Indian squaws used to make for pound- ing their meal. Puzzled, he looked at the stone. He couldn't remember when he had seen it. He walked past it, but his smile was gone. He turned around, surveyed the stone. Sometime in the past he had vat upon it. He retraced his steps, climbed upon the stone, sat upon It. A branch of the oak tree above his head swayed. A sharp realization made itself mani- fest He had seen that branch sway In exactly the same way sometime or other. An excitement ran in tremors through him. He was on the point of remembering his Identity. He remembered a 11 , :ene in a great flash. Bits dribbled into hie mind, it is true, but now he was sure who he was. He remembered two men in ii room. They were brothers. Their last name was Jackson. Milton Jackson was a private secretary to a large banker In the South. Butt Jackson was the black sheep of time fluffily. Butt tuld seen the inside of Sing Sing and net as a visitor, either. The T man without a memory had ac- quired a sharp, terrible memory. He remembered creeping, creeping upon his unsuspecting brother. Ile remem- bered raising the sandbag which was loaded. He remembered, just at the critical moment, the sudden turning of his brother Milton. In Milton's eyes he had seen his accusation, the com- plete understanding of all that had gone before. That glance was the thing that had driven him off; that bad made him lose his memory in an unconscious attempt to put the awful horror out of his mind. lie sprang to his feet He would run back and tell Alice. He paused, one foot outstretched, and stood still. \How can I tell her?\ he asked the oak. \I held up, perhaps, killed. my brother.\ He loved Alice. He couldn't stand before her confessed as Butt Jackson, \I feel clean!\ he cnect \Oh God, why couldn't I really have been re- created this time? Why do I have to take the punishment for something I did in another life?\ It was not only he who would have to take the punishment. It was Atka. too. She loved him. She was willing to marry him even now, though she hadn't the slightest ides who he might be. He couldn't tell her. He couldn't make her Mrs. Butt Jackson. He started to walk away from the lake. He would find a train, hop a freight. He would live straight. Butt could never have had a thought like that. He wasn't really Butt; he was a mysterious person who had been cre- ated anew. As he walked he put his hand to his forehead. There was something odd above that. He touched It, touched the top of his head. His eyes swelled.

James E. Baum, In charge of the American Bankers Asso- ciation Protective Department, has re- ported to his organization. In the six months ended February 28, 1935, he says, banks were targets for 169 daylight holdups and 40 night bur- glaries. He added that although banks that are not members number only about halt those enrolled in the asso- ciation, they suffered a far greater rate of attack. namely, 51 per cent of all the bank robberies committed during the period. Losses Show Decrease During the period under report, bank burglars and bandits exacted tribute amounting to $943,651 compared with losses totaling $1.257,000 a year ago, he said. This reduction in losses is attrib- uted to the time -locking restrictions and other limitations hi the exposure of surplus cash imposed last year by underwriters and several bank super- visory authorities. The sharp reduction in the material loss of money and securities resulting from bank robbery this year was \over- shadowed by the killing of 2 bank em- ployees, one bystander and 5 arresting officers.\ and since last August bank robbery also cost the lives of 15 crimi- nals and caused physical injuries to 10 . bank employees, 12 bystanders. 9 ar- resting officers and 8 bandits, a total of 62 casualties. Investigations by the association's agents resulted in the arrest of 36 forgers. 42 bandits and one burglar, or 79 of the 141 bank criminals reported as being apprehended during the period. Crude Paintings Valued Many of the crudely painted early American portraits, which are collect- ed to add charm to Colonial rooms, were produced with ordinary paints by house painters, says an authority on primitive American art. These quaint. pictures were often done as a tette line to the general business of paint- ing barns, tavern signs or decorating wagons. Bittersweet Feeds Birds Bittersweet, the highly decorative wild plant much prized for Its bril- liant red berries, is an important food of game and song birds that have to scratch hard for a living during the winter. The berriee cling to the vines after other natural foods are gone. sustaining wild life in the period of greatest scarcity. Classification If the Hindu The Hindu is brown, but practically all authorities agree that he is a mem- ber of a subdivision of the white or Caucasian race. As far as the United States government Is concerned, how- ever, a Hindu Is not a white person, the Supreme court having ruled to that effect on February 19, 1923. Live in Holes in Reeks Mountainous rock spires near Mt. Argeus, in the bear( of Asia Minor. have been honeycombed and hollowed by the hand of man for human habita- tion. Used hundreds of years ago as churches and monasteries, these hard rock apartments are now inhabited by modern troglodytes. Quick -Growing Tree The fastest growing tree In the world is said to be the balsa whose seed is not much larger than the head of a pin. In live years the tree grows to a height of 75 feet with a diameter of two feet or more. The Spectacle Bear One of the most interesting members of the bear family comes from South America. If Is a small animal called the spectacle bear, deriving its name from a white rim of hair around Its eyes.
