NEW LODGE IS
ORGANIZED in
WHITEFlSH
The Grand Order of the Orie mt Is
the Name of the New Organiza-
tion Just Instituted, and Every
thing Points to a Rapid Growth

II you notice men on the street gesticu-
lating wildly and making what to YOU
may seem like unintelisible signs, don't
unduly concern your-elf. There is moth
ing seriously wrong. They are not crazy
Anew lodge has been organized. That
all.
THIS new lodge is known as the Grand
Order of the Orient, and it is said to be
humdinger. Anybody who belongs to
a lodge can join the new order, if he's
got nerve enough to stand the trying or
deal
AS near as can be found out, the MEM
bers of the Grand Order of the Orient in
oculate themselves with wisdom gathered
from signs and symbols, from things that
be and things that never were, or from
anything else that is hanging around
loose.
In the orders impressive intiatory
ceremony this wisdom is allowed to soak
into the candidate freely, and the lessons
which are taught are never forgotten If
for any reason the wisdom fails to soak
in freely enough, there are mechanical,
mental and spiritual appliances to aid in
the soaking.
The signs which you may notice your
friends giving upon the street are under
stood by others who may be near, and
are symbolic of the great gobs of wisdom
w t1,n ,1>o1 I,
1t seems that not much can be found
o 1t about the order without joining it,
a I'd there are apparently many hidden
mysteries to the person outside the Ori.
entail realms.
The lodge was quietly organized in the
town, nobody seeming to know anything
about it until after the first meeting,
when bunch of applicants for member
ship were taken in and made ful-hedged
princes. From the dilapidated appear
ance of these candidates the next day
and from the manner in which they have
since conducted themselves, it is plain for
their friends to see that great change
has taken place in their lives. They
have evidently seen a great light A
great influence has been brought to bear
upon them. 1t is plain to be seen that
upon some of them this influence must
have been brought to bear pretty hard.
They seem very sensitive. 1t may be
that some rule of the order prevents these
new candidates from sitting down, but it
seems more probable that their antipathy
for IA sitting position is more deep-seated.
Members Of the new order predict for
it phenomenal growth, although they
have no hesitancy in advising-even i'm
ploring-prospective candidates not to
join. The initiation fee is said to be So,
the applicant to pay all doctor bills and
assume all risks.
In the secret ritual of the order, it is
said, there are all kinds of signs, passes,
words, grips, crosses and double crosses,
armed with which a member is supposed
to be able to 60 out into the cruel world
and be practically immune from all its
stings. If he ever gets stung again, any
how, it WON'T be because the lodge failed
to properly load him up and girdle him
with world proof armor of wisdom.

MEETING OF
THE CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE
Meeting Tuesday Night Attended
BY q Few of the Citizens Who
Are Interested in the Cpbuild-
ing of the City's Welfare.

The Chamber of Commerce met on
Tuesday night, about dozen citizens
being present, and thus showl g Il at
they are interested in the town an will
ing to work for it's advancement Five
of the local business houses were repre-
sented at the meeting, one of the speak
ers OF the evening taking occasion to
point them out and remark upon the
fact, and suggesting that the people
should patronize thos, who are willing
to do their share of work for the town.
His remarks may not have been taken
very seriously, but there was some food
for thought in them, just the same. The
theory might be all right, but it has new
er worked out that way in Whitefish; in
fact some of the most notorious kickers
and knockers that the town has had
have enjoyed the greatest volume of bus
mess and have taken the most money
from the people.
A blank petition, which had been sent
here from Kalispell, calling upon the
county commissioners to place the money
received from the forestry department in
a separate fund for the purpose Of build
ing some trunk line wagon roads, was
laid upon the table. There was unani-
nous sentiment for better roads ex-
pressed, but most of those present could
not see where Whtefsh would ever get
any road improvements by the plan sug-
gested, and as good roads are one of our
greatest needs, it was thought that it
would be more to the advantage of towns
outside of Kalispcll if the money went
through the regular road fund channel.
DR.. J. A. Tillett. chairman of the fish
and game committee, made report of
the committees work, and the plan of
work which they had laid out, which
was heartily endorsed.
A proposition from H. S. Boyle for
advertising space in magazine which he
is about to issue, had to be turned down
for lack of funds.
The civic improvement committee made
an interesting report of their work, which
showed that they had been busy. The
result of their labors, however, has Eeen
published heretofore.
1t is plain that the Chamber of Con-
merce is well organized, and good work
is being accomplished for the town, but
it would be great encouragement to the
officers and committees if the citizens,
and especially the business men, would
turn out to the monthly meetings.
The trustees will hold their regular
meeting next Tuesday night at the coun-
Gil rooms, and these meetings, as we'll as
the general meetings, are open to the
public.

ORPHEUM ABOUT READY
TO OPEN

The box office of the new Orpheum
theatre opened Thursday, when people
began calling for tickets for the first per-
formance, which will be next Sunday
night.
P. ]. McCabe, the proprietor of the
new show house, will return today from
Spokane, where he went to get picture
machine, and the final arrangements for
the opening will then be made.
The building has been arranged especi-
ally for the new enterprise, with small
stage, elevated chairs in the rear, and
other conveniences. That the people
will appreciate Mr.. McCabe's enterprise
and give the show a liberal patronage
ought to be certain.

A NEW SPORT

Messrs. Spoat and Anderson of Stock
EFT, near Great Falls, were in Conrad
last Sunday looking over the country,
says the Conrad Observer. They were
taken out west of town by w. w. Withee
in his automobile, and when near the old
Jones ranch coyote was spied and run
down and killed by running the machine
over him. Both the gentlemen say it
was good fun and that they went some
for about Is miles before getting the
coyote.

WHAT The SMOKER COST
FIRE DEPARTMENT

After figuring up the expenses of their
recent smoker, the fire department finds
that the cost was about $3.50. About
Sl3O was taken in, leaving deficit Of
$50 which the department will have to
pay out of the treasury.
There is no disappointment in this to

IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA.
Whole Body Mass of Raw, Bleeding,

eczema l suffered with. 1t broke out
on my head and kept spreading until
it covered my whole body.
was almost a solid mass of sores from
head to foot. l looked more like
piece of raw beef than a human be-
ing. The pain and agony endured
seemed more than could bear. Blood
and pus oozed from the great sore on
my scalp, from under my finger nails,
and nearly all over my body. My
ears were so crusted and swollen 1
was afraid they would break off.
Every hair in my head fell out.
could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me cry out from the
pain. My family doctor did all he
could, but got worse and worse. My
condition was awful. / did not think
1 could live, and wanted death to
come and end my frightful sufferings.
I'm this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edies. 1 said l would, but had no hope
of recovery. But oh, what blessed re-
lief experienced after applying Cuti-
cura Ointment. 1t cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep had had in weeks. 1t
was as grateful as ice to burning
tongue. / would battle with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. I also took Cuti-
cura Resolvent for the blood. In a
short time the sores stopped running,
the flesh began to heal, and I knew 1
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in
short time I was completely cured.

eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. VIM.

COST OF KEEPING A COW.
The Results Obtained by Ore Man
Who Kept Record.

The expense of keeping a COW is the.
cost of labor and feed AS a rule the
labor is not included, but l think that
is the most serious question, declares
G. 0. Carlson, in Dairy Record When
we hire help to milk ard care for the,
COW, we pay good wages, and even at
that, it is hard to secure a man that
will do the work satisfactorily. 1t costs
to do the milking, whether the hired
man or anyone else does it, as COW
that gives milk during ten months out
of year must be MIXED 600 times.
This will take about ten minutes each
time, or a total of 100 hours.
The stable must be cleaned during
the stabling season and that season
should be about eight months. This
will take about four minutes day, or
16 hours year. Feeding the COW hay,
silage and grain will take about seven
minutes a day, or 26 hours a year. To
water the cow will take about five
hours year. Separating and caring
for the cream, IA hours; hauling cream
to creamery, five hours. This will
make total of 166 hours per year.
Now what does that labor cost us
when we hire a man? If we want a
good one we must pay him S25 or $50
a month, together with board, lodging
and washing. 1t will amount to about
Is cents an hour, and 166 hours at this
price per hour would be $24.90 But
when there is help enough in the fam
lily to do the most of this work, one
does not consider their time worth as
much. OF course, these figures may
vary in some instances, as in some
places it is much more convenient and
it may not take as much time to care
for the COW, but | consider that it costs
about $25 to keep a COW, and this COW
ers the roughage, etc. Farmers that
have no silage will necessarily have to
feed corn fodder, and of this, together
with the hay, COW will need four tons
during the winter Hay at four dollars
a ton and silage at two dollars a ton.
The roughage will amount to $14, in
Guiding pasturage. The grain at last
years price will amount to about $21,
If good COW is given good care, to-
gether with the above feed she will
produce about 5000 pounds of milk
and 240 pounds of fat. Figure this at
rs cents and it will be $50 for the fat;
5000 pounds of skim milk at 20 cents
will be So Total income, $40; labor,
$25; feed, $35; net profit, $40.
Now figuring on the profits from a
COW that is cheaply kept-$15 worth
of feed, and the cost will still be $40
and the labor $25, which will bring a
total of $45. The best she could pos
sibly do would be $500 pounds of
milk 140 pounds of fat which would
bring total of SAL, or net loss of
four dollars directly and more indirect
~ Why do we have SO many unsatis-
fled dairymen? l do not think there is
any profit for man who does not give
his COWS good care as she figures
upon it,

The
EXCEPTIONAL
Equipment

of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, in all of It's
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
benefcially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
AS there is only one genuine Syrup of
Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA and as the gen
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge Of the above facts enables
one to decline limitations or to return them
if, upon viewing the package, the full name
of the California Fig Syrup Co. is not found
printed on the front thereof.

slLc AN AID TO DAIRYING.
Has Come to Be Most Important Ad.
junct to the Keeping of Cows.

The silo is doubtless the greatest of
modern institutions in connection with
dairying. 1t is simply a modification
and elaboration of the old potato or
cabbage pit and in fact the first silos
were pits. What has probably deferred
the modern silo from coming into uni
versal use is the rather prevalent idea
among farmers that it requires a great
amount of skill and experience to in
sure success and that the silo of to-
day is much further removed from the
old pit than is the reality.
Experience, however, points to the
fact that so long as the crop is cut at
the right stage and put together with
ordinary care, be it in stack, pit or
over ground silo-chaffed or unchaffed
success must result, the amount Of
waste being invariably inversely pro-
portionate to the amount of care exer-
cised.
1t is quite natural that being a new
thing to most, and having heard re-
ports of failures, farmers have in the
past hesitated in risking their crops by
attempting to ensilage them, but now
with silos scattered all over the coun-
try, in every district, it is easy for
them to see for themselves.
AS to the merits of any particular
method, or any particular structure Of
silo, opinions are varied. Each, doubt
less, has something to recommend 1T,
and only mans particular conditions
and requirements can determine for
him the most suitable plan. The liter
allure on silo construction of the de-
partment of agriculture which will be
sent on application will furnish soma
useful suggestions.

MAKE 1T BRIGHT.
Has Your Stable Enough Windows
to Let Sunlight In.

Once more we raise the question:
Has your stable enough sunlight?
Make a row of windows as high as
the ceiling of your cow stable, occu-
plying at least one-third of the space.
You do not need a carpenter to do
that; you can do it yourself. You can
make the windows small, one pane of
sash 12x24 or 1926 inches, and have
them so that they will slide back
ward if necessary, and over that space
in the summer time you can put net
ting or even cheese cloth, which will
let in the air and keep out the flies,
affording you comfortable place to
milk the COWS in the hot weather. II
we cannot induce you to go to the
expense of making sash, make the
openings anyhow and cover them over
with duck this winter That will let
in the sunlight and at the same time
help provide ventilation. Get the sun
light into your stables anyhow, If you
want to ward off tuberculosis, have
healthy COWS and healthy calves, and
get the worth of your feed.

when Men Become Free.

There is a time to come when gov
ernments will spring from the hearts
of the people. and will be governments
for the people. In that day all laws,
all civil usages, all customs, will re-
spect the interests of the community,
and will not obstruct them. When
men have perfect liberty, individually
and collectively; when they are not
only equal but free-free in the larg-
est sense of the term freedom
society itself will become nursing
mother-Henry Ward Beecher.
