Rev. Horace r. Roberts. pastor OF the
island Baptist church protested against
tho act that deprived the town Of New
Shorenam OF the right of local self gov

tor two years without success.
A remedy that will cure Diabetes

The time when to possess tiny feet

athletic girl having changed all that.
The proper and beautiful thing nova

As 1t is shape, not size, that makes or
mars the beauty Of foot. the sensible
woman halls this evolution with de-
light, proving that the change is owing
to the wholesome outdoor life OF the
really modern girl. And. may add"

could not hnd any solution of the Butte

The statement issued and signed by
the members Of the committee says:
We. the undersigned members OF
the mediation committee, entered upon
the discharge Of our duties realizing
the magnitude and dimculty Of our
task. Nevertheless. we have labored
assidiously to accomplish the purpose
Of our appointment.
I'VE have failed to obtain 4 stipula-
tion from the parties litigant which
will insure q resumption of work by
and have been unable to devise any
plan looking to that end which did not
involve the mutual consent of the par
ties interested.
I'VE regret this exceedingly and hope
some common ground may yet be
found by the parties themselves upon
which they can stand"
There Is great disappointment Rt the
failure of the committee to come to
some agreement with the parties IN In
terest 1t il hoped Governor Toole will
call an extraordinary session Of the
legislature to relieve the situation.
