ROUMANIA'S KISSING FESTIVAL.
Queer Annual Fair and lis Strange
Origin.


Helmagen, Roumanian country town Of
100 inhabitants, holds its annual fair on
the feast of st. Theodore. On this occasion
the plnce swarms with newly married
brides from sixty or eighty villages in the
district; widows who have taken fresh hus-
bands remain at home. The young women
in festive attire, and generally attended by
their mothers-in-law. cariy jugs OF wine
enwranthed with flowers in their hands.
The Rumanische Woohensohrift says they
kiss every one they meet, and afterward
resent the jug to his lips for a NIP"
The individual thus regaled bestows a
small gift on the fair Cybele. Not to par
take Of the proffered wine is regarded
as an insult to the young wife and her fam
lly. She is. therefore. reserved toward
ttrangsrs and only kisses those whom she
thinks likely to taste Of her wine. The kiss
ing is carried on every wherein the street.
in the taverns and in private houses. The
origin of this custom is veiled in obscnrity.
Some say that il dates bnck to the time
when the Turks made frequent raids into
Trnnsylvana and carried away all the
young women they could lay their hands
on. such of them as contrived to escape
from captivity, happening to return to Hal
magen Al the time of the fair. kissed their
friends and relatives, and even strangers
who congratulated them on their wonder
iul deliverance.

INDEPENDENT So


licits your advertising:
Because it completely covers the
entire State of Montana. Because
it will guarantee to prove larger
bona fide daily circulation than
any other paper in the state. Be-
cause it is the paper for the peo-
pie and the one that brings the
best results. Because ii is a legit-
innate business enterprise, and as
such works for the advantage of
its patrons. Because its charges
for advertising matter are rca-
sonable. Because with its equip
ment of Lightning presses and the
best of modern facilities, THE
INDEPENDENT is prepared to give
a dollars worth for dollar. Be-
cause advertising in its columns
has paid others and it will pay
you. Because columns and pages
in other Montana papers will not
reach the readers of The INDE-
PENDENT. Because it is the old
est morning daily in the state and
is the best advertising medium.
Because its circulation is con-
stantly increasing. Because it
leads in news gathering, inAu-
ence, enterprise, and the purchas-
ing power of its readers. Be-
cause it is a clean, sharp, spicy
local newspaper. Because it is
printed at the capital Of the state
and the county seat Of the coun-
ty. Because it's readers are Of
the purchasing class and its col
umns are patronized by reputable
dealers. Because all kinds Of
matter appearing in its columns
have weight with its readers.
Because if you want to reach the
people of Montana it can be done

NO TIME TO LOSE.

There is not moment to lose in this
matter of a Northern and Central Califor-
MIA exhibit in building specially erected
for the purpose at the Midwinter Fair.
Whatever is to be done must be accom-
plished now.
The season is already greatly advanced
and there Is barely time to prepare plans,
select the location and erect the building.
The character, Dimensions and cost of this
structure will depend greatly upon the
number of counties which join in the
effort.
Southern counties have already united,
chosen their location and contracted for
the building that is to stand for Southern
California. We have already repeatedly
pointed out the immense advantages Of
distinctive exhibit over a scattered one
by counties in the several main build
ings. Not that these main buildings are
not TO contain examples of the products
of the Northern and Central California
sections. But in addition we need and
must have at this Midwinter Fair an ad-
vertisement for the two-thirds of the
State that comprises the best of it, as dis
tinguished from the Southern California
exhibit, and which our cousins of the
south declare they propose to make so
attractive that the Eastern visitor will be
impressed with the idea that Southern
California is all there is of the State worth
consideration.
That has been southern policy for sew
eral years, and it has won steadily and to
the discredit of the north and center. We
cannot longer afford to suffer this thing;
we must embrace this one superior OPP
portunity to disabuse the public mind of
error. We therefore urge all the counties
of the north and center to act at once.
If in any of the counties the Supervis-
ors have taken no steps in this direction,
citizens should at once call meetings and
appoint delegates to meet those from
other counties and proceed with the good
work. It will be far more economic than
to attempt to erect and maintain county
buildings, and the aggregate of united
effort viii inure more largely to the ben
eft of each of the several counties than
separate and individual effort possibly

IN making up their minds to-day for
whom they will vote, electors should take
their sample ballots and prepare them for
their guidance in the polling booths, so
that the new Board of Trustees will rep
resent the most intelligent, free and inde-
pendent in nomination. The entire city
government is about to be given over to
six men. Six trustees in ring can neg
ative the wisest policy of the very best
Mayor who can be chosen. More than
that, he whom five OF the Trustees choose
as President of the Board becomes Mayor
of the city in case of the temporary inca
pacity or disqualification of the Mayor
who may be elected, and in case of a va
cancy in the Office of Mayor, the Trustees
will elect Mayor. 1t is therefore of first
Importance that the Trustees to be elected
tomorrow should represent the free and
independent element in the municipality.
If chicane, bossism and low politics Sc
cure the majority in the Board tomorrow,
the city viii go in bondage for an indefi-
mite time. since with the patronage in
hand that is possible under the new char
ter. vicious system in municipal poll
tics can easily be perpetuated. What we
want now above all else, is a strong, capa-
BILE and free Board of Trustees. 1t is
possible for the people to secure it. If
this opportunity is lost now, another may
not present itself in twenty years.
