All his neighbors along the line
Are tanning, too, in their shtrtsleeves

Happy as neighbors in summer can be
When temperatures rise 70 ninety three
Ice wagon comes and the children cry
Joyfully down where its cool drips by,
Some on the steps hopping up for a
ride
Calling the driver their comrade
with pride:
Nowhere else but in shirtsleeve street
Is life so simple and sane and sweet.
Negl,ge neighborhoods smile thru the
blaze.
Happy in peek-e-boo freedom from
JOLLY, merrily, morning and night.
Out on the steps with a smile for
the light,
Smoking and chatting with shirtsleevy
After the toll Of the day, and its care.

AS TO ADVERTISING IOWA.
Huntington Hawkeyel.


There are conflicting opinions as to
the wisdom Of advertising Iowa and
Iowa cities and towns in eastern pub1-
cations. Or for that matter in any
nublications outside of Iowa The
who know and are interest
ed in such things, know all about
Iowa, and the others will continue to
believe that we are killing buffaloes
and indians and are tsill on the from
tier. and eat pie with a knife or
spoon.
There are those who believe, or at
feet to believe. that Iowa is getting a
reputation thru more or less we'll writ
ten and more or less well displayed
advertising. Which is largely bun
combe The people who know. are UP
on the a, 900 that Iowa sent when I'm
Gle Abe needed men. and they are UP
on the first agricultural state of the
union, and they are up on the promi-
nent place that Iowa has long held in
the councils Of the nation. And the
others will never see the ads.
But what particular benefit are these
ads going to do Iowa or Iowa cities,
when hundreds and hundreds of towns
and counties are all buying advertising
space in order to set forth their par
ticular advantages. There Is some
thing lacking in all these advertise
ments They have nothing concrete

tisements offer something for sale OF

LOCAL TRAINS WILL
RUN UNTIL JAN. |
Montana Railroad Time Schedule
Will Not Be Changed For
Present.

The Milwaukee, it is learned, in
tended to take off it's local train SER
vice between this city and Harlowton
about this time tor the winter, but
the plan has been changed and the
trains will continue until the new
year. This is done chiefly to take care
of the holiday business. Heavy ex-
press shipments are coming in and 60
ing out daily and these trains aid
very materially in handlinf the busi-
ness.
Some are inclined to think that the
trains may not be taken off at all this
year, but they will be disappointed.
However, change will only be tenn
porary, as it was last year, and the
service will be restored in the early
spring. BY that time, or soon after,
there is likely to be change in the
time of the through trains, and the
present schedule will, of course, be
changed to meet it.

WINEROOMS GOING
TO BE PROSECUTED
Sheriff O'Rourke Gives Statement
That he Will Suppress Wine
Room Evil in Butte.

Sheriff O'Rourke stated this week
that he will! do everything in his
power to suppress the wine room evil
i'm Butte, and will if necessary, raid
the saloons every night, to see that
they are not frequented by women.
After a lengthy conference with
County Attorney Walker it was de-
termined to begin vigorous cam
paign against the wine rooms, and
either make tie proprietors close
them up. or else put them in the pen
i,entiary. Quite a few arrests have
been made recently by the authorities
and in several cases young girls have
been found in the back parts of
saloons keeping company and drinking
with male companions.
Judge Donlan has often expressed
himself on the subject of the wine
rooms, and is not only bitterly opposed
to their existence, but has encouraged
the authorities to prosecute those
who permit women in their saloons.
He stated recently that if any viola
tions of the anti-wine room law is
known, an information should be
Immediately filed, and the accused
will be given speedy trial, with
promise of heavy sentence if con-
victed by jury.

NEW STYLES HAVE
NO WAIST LINE
New Woman Will Have No Waist,
but Will Appear in Sill
hOuette Line.

Chicago. Dec. l3.- Women's waist
lines, which have been wandering
from their arms to their knees, have
now disappeared altogether. At the
convention of the national cloak, suit
and skirt manufacturers, the models
for 1911 show no suggestion of waist
line in any of the newest things.
This not only applies TO gowns, but
to cloaks and coats as well. The new
women will have no waist but will ap-
pear in silhouette line.
True to their promise, the manufac-
turers have discarded the hobbe. In
the new gowns there is no suggestion
whatever of Tightening at the ankles
or knees.
