YOUNG COLORED GIRL
TRIES SUICIDE
PRISONER AT COUNTY JAIL
MAKES A FAKE PLAY AT
ENDING HER LIFE.

Judging from remarks which have
been made by the sheriff's officers of
Missouia county, there will be trouble
between Uncle Sam and this county's
officials III there is not something done
soon about Ray Davitt, young col
ored woman who is being held for the
federal authorities. a few weeks ago.
Ray, who is not of the most peaceful
nature. became involved in serious
imbroglio with Cranky sam" no
torious Chinaman Of the city. while
they were both more or less under the
influence of hop sam came out of
the melee with a badly cut scalp. for
which Ray was punished. II developed
also that she had used scissors to en-
phasize her side of the argument.
Justice of the Peace Small sent Ray
to the county Jail to serve so days.
During her trial. il developed that
the woman was under age and that
she had come to this country from
ontario. so the United States author
tiles took n hand and, while she was
in prison, served "A warrant on her.
Her time as II county prisoner has
expired and she Is now being held for
the federal government. She has Civ
en- the shcriff's officers more than
enough trouble by her tantrums and

hitting suicide every few days. and
one was due yesterday. so she tied a
bunch of blankets and rags around
her head and neck. locked and bar

gan to die. She was detected by Tn

apartment and saw that she was fax

DR. Pease, who was attending another
woman. and had his suspicious con-

angry and is anxiously awaiting the
arrival of the federal authorities.

IT is A PARASITE.
That Causes Itching Scalp, Oandruff
and Finally Falling Hair.

The itching scalp, the falling hair
and the dandruff that annoys are the
work of parasite hidden in the scalp.
That parasite must be killed to cure
dandruff; and the only preparation
that will do that is Newbro's Herpi-
eide. Destroy the cause, you remove

Now. when the colonists first came
to Americas eastern edge, delicacies
were rather scarce, to put the matter
mildly. AS a matter of fact, and to
quote the language OF the street, the
settlers were up against proposition.
In the years of IRRITATION that marked
civilizations first stand against
savagry in what was to become the
United States. the killing of wild
turkey attracted almost as much
favorable attention as the bagging of
Red Brother Especially was the
turkey to be praised-when dead.

in that he could be cooked and eaten
with great relish The warmest friends
OF the Indian have never claimed for
him any superiority as a Wand, else
he might now appear on the front
pages of magazines whose issues APP
proximate the final Thursday of
November. Now. getting back to New
England i'm the days before one could
find out just what great rogues our
leading citizens were by expanding
such trfling sum as Is cents. a wild
turkey was chiefest of all delicacies.
Therefore. once the Thanksgiving day
habit had become chronic. II was con-
sidered quite the thing for the head
of each household of future ancestors
and Mayflowerites to stuff his blum
derbuss with as much powder and shot
as he considered compatible with
safety and take to the woods to stain
a turkey. There were no game laws
then. but the Indians were ever on the
alert for small hunting parties ozone
and the early nimrods scarcely missed
the game wardens. Thanksgiving day
was enjoyable or otherwise in the ratio
of whether or not father returned from
his little jaunt in the woods or wheth-
err or not he brought anything with
him. if he did get back. Gradually,
as the Indian began to back off to-
wards the Pacific and civilization -.
thralled everything that didn't accom-
pany him, the wild turkey fell for the
white mans burden and became tanned.

SAL WALTON ARMYPLANS
TO OBSERVE CHRISTMAS

Captain Knapp of the local post of
the salvation army stated last even
ing that he and his assistants We're
making no efforts to provide a
Thanksgiving dinner for the poor of
the city. as it is intended to hold an
extra elaborate observance of Christ
mas. Rather than divide their en-
ergies in observing the two great days
of cheer. the local army people believe
that it would be better plan to con-
centrate their efforts on the bigger
holiday of the two-Christmas. Cap
tain Knapp has stated that the head
quarters in Spokane will furnish bas-
kets for the poor of this and other
cities. but that much assistance will
be required from the local merchants.

Thanksgiving day in Missoula will
be generally observed today. The day
will be n holiday in every respect The
business houses of the city will be
closed. the public institutions will not
open their doors and holiday hours
from 10 o'clock to IL this morning
will prevail at the postoffice.
In tho Churches.
The churches of Missouia-most of
them-will hold special services. In
addition to the union service at the
Presbyterian church. the day will be
observed at the German Lutheran
church, the Episcopal church. the
Christian Science church and the
Swedish Lutheran church. In all of
these but the last services will be
held this morning. The Swedish
Lutheran church will celebrate
Thanksgiving this evening and after
the service luncheon will DC served
for the benefit of the orphans home at
Omaha. one oi the several institutions
OF this kind Under the supervision OF
the Augustana synod.
A Homo Affair.
After all, however it is in the homes
of Missoula that the real celebration
of Thanksgiving day is to be held. 1t
will be day of dinners and family
gatherings. day for feats CASTRO
nomic and joys domestic. Thousands
of turkeys. chickens. ducks and geese
have been sold in the city for today's
tables and prosperous Missoula will
live high today. Live high" is good,
at that, for turkeys have been retail
ing at 80 cents a pound.
The celebration of Thanksgiving as
a time for general rejoicing and formal
expression of gratitude IL inseparably
linked to the turkey. although the day
itself is older than the bird-as a
barnyard fowl. The first Thanksgiv-
ing celebration ever held was that of
the Plymouth colony i'm 1921. Tho
custom gradually spread. through New
England. then to the middle west and
west and. more slowly. to the south.
Since 1863 the day has been nomi-
mated by proclamations of the presi-
dents of this country. This history of
the holiday does not. however. explain
why its symbol and chief manifesto
ton should be the turkey.
