PASSING EVENTS

Noycmber's first week has been
checked off and we are entering the
Thanksgiving season. Already one OF
the infallible premonitory symptoms Is
noticeable: the provision man notifies
us. as usual, that the supply of turkeys
will be very short. This attempt TO
bull the market is as regular as
Thanksgiving day and 1t no longer ter
rifles: for there are always some tur-
KEYS left over and there Will be this
year So all who are thankful and
who have the price will be able To in
duige in the formal manifestation OF
our gratitude for pcrils escaped and
mcrcies received. Here in western
Montana-and in all the rest of Mon
tana-this means all Of us; we have
a lot FOR which to give thanks and we
are. for the most part. appreciatise Of
the fact II has been Il good year and
every reason to believe that II viii be
followed by other good years. While
it is true that these few Thanksgiving
remarks may be triflc premature.
thore is reason for indulgence in them
at this time because of the sugges
tions in this direction that have been
contained in the events OF the week
just closed; there are many of these

there has been some advance made. we
believe. in the effort to bring about a
realization of the importance of the
square deal to the local merchant: If
every Missoula man will make his pur-
chases of Missoula merchants. there
will be an improvement in local con-
ditions that will be marked This is
the month when taxes are paid; the
county treasurer has upon his rolls the
name Of not one eastern mail-orle-
house. The home merchants are the
ones who help pay the taxes and assist
in maintaining local institutions. The
man who sends away for his supplies
is at once disloyal to his own inter-
csis and to his home neighbors. II. as
has been alleged. there are Missoula
merchants who send away for supplies
that are not carried in their own es
