READING MATTER FOR SETTLERS
FREE

There are many families on new
farms within days drive Of Black
foot who have scanty supply OF
reading matter, and many people In
and about Blackfoot who have stacks
of magazines they have read and do
not know what to do with.
We asked few friends to bring in
reading matter to send out to settlers
and what we received was surprise.
The Cosmopolitan, The American, The
Argosy, McClures, Golfers, The Post,
The Women's Home Companion, The
Ladies Home Journal, Women's
World, The Delineator, The Worlds
Work, The World Today, Scribner's.
Everybody's, Ainslyes, The Pacific
Monthly, Sunset, Hampton's. Leslies's
Weekly, Truth, Sacred Heart, Mt.
Angel Magazine.
Most of them are in good condition
and clean. Those that were soiled
can be put through the trimmer at
the printing Office and have the soiled
edges taken off, leaving them in good
condition.
We are arranging to have 'conven-
lent places for distribution out on the
new tracts, and magazines left at
this office will be forwarded to the
distributors.

posed to contagious disease. 39tf

The man who moves in with a cayuse
or two, dog or SO, half dozen
children or SO, besides extras in the
way of an AK, hammer, saw and nails
with which to do all sorts of damage
to house, does not apply to the
agent at Forest Hill.
His idea of the beautiful that he
aspires to Is the possessions mention
ed, and If few pickets from the
fence or board on the house are
necessary to warm his body and cook
his food, the ak is near by and his
arm is willing and strong. Tenement
quarters with ideal sanitary condi-
lions do not appeal to him, and a
good industrial settlement to him is
a place where he can secure a job
for month or season, and I'have
no practical solution to offer for the
condition he brings.
A few days since, shrewd bust
ness man asked property owner to
step over in an alley only block
east from East Main street, and in
viting him to look north and south
said: Don't you know the actual
value of property as far S you can
see either way would be materially
enhanced if all the alley fences and
outbuildings were burned" The idea
was so new to the property holder, his
reply would not do to repeat to club
women.
! have painted you bad picture,
but stroll over town and see for
yourself. Then l wanted to be sure
you knew the conditions for which
l was asked to supply remedy.
Now for a brighter picture: Sup
pose we remove everything from the
back door and alley that is unneces-
sary and useless in it's present con-
dition, for the purpose for which it +;
was intended Then make careful
survey of the "must-haves. Remod-
ell them where necessary, give them
a correct location on the grounds,
paint them the color of the house or
give them coat of whitewash Now !

Burn all bones, meaty and greasy
substances positively, either in range
or stoker of the furnace. Drain all
liquid from other garbage in the sink
strainer. In the fall after fly time,
make shallow excavation in some
convenient place. and throw in it all
the drained garbage. In the spring
cover 1t over with the earth thrown
out in the fall. Experience will teach
you that you can use this method
from about Thanksgiving or Deem
Der first until the middle of May if
you reserve portion of earth from
the first spring covering for subse-
quent weekly use. After the hot sum-
mer sun comes out, we scatter this
drained garbage through the garden
and find between the freshly culti-
waited earth and the hot rays of the
sun, that it soon becomes absorbed.
We have never discovered this system
drawing either flies or dogs, for what
the latter would eat was burned
Bread crumbs if thrown out will be
eagerly taken up by the birds who
will also take the insects from the
garden. A garbage pail is easily kept
in sanitary condition by the frequent
use of hot water, I've and an old
whish broom kept for that purpose.
said the garbage we have with us
always, and thus it is with the tene-
ment houses and their ever-changing
restless inmates. Here this month
and elsewhere the next. They found
the house in bad condition and try
to leave it little worse. The city
marshall says "clean up" the dis
couraged landlord says whats the
use?" and the renter echoes the cry.
Pages and volumes are being /
written on building and upbuilding
cities, but no one offers a suggestion |
for the squatter renter in country |
towns, that can be made effectual.
The problem does not confront Mrs.
Russell Sage in the erection of her
ideal city of Forest Hill, Long Island,
for the tenant of moderate means.

FROM COTTON I'D TO KITCHEN

Cottolene comes from the oil Of the
nutritious cotton seed. Without touch of
human hands, it flows through the fac
tory from one process to another, and
finally into pals sealed air-tight by
special machines, and protecting the
Cottolene also frpm Dust and odors.
Compare this Win most other cooking
fats-made FROM hog fat, which is al
ways more or less indigestible, and in
ferior in quality-and marketed in tubs
or loose-covered pals.
From cotton field to kitchen, Cotto-
lene is made with the single aim of pur-
ty, healthfulness, cleanliness. Of what
other cooking fats can this truthfully be
said?

CORBETT SAYS EGAN
WILL DEFEAT CHANEY
Former Champion Picks
Washington Boy in Com
ing Battle.

BALTIMORE, Feb. S.-James ]. Cor
bett, after seeing George CLANCY, the
Baltimore bantamweight, who is sched
uled to meet Kid Egan, Of Washington
in Baltimore Friday night, work in the
gymnasium, Immediately pronounced
his defeat at the hands of the Wash,
ingtonian.
Last week. while was in Washing
ton, 1 slipped around to the camp OF
Egan, just to see how the fellows ir
the East go through their training
stunts" said Corbett, "and, believe me
1 was really surprised at the way in
which they took to their work.
after seeing both CLANCY and EGar
box in the gymnasium, 1 must confes
that 1 can't figure where or how CLANCY
has a chance to beat that lad from
Washington.
.''WhileaI talked with Egan last week
he told me that on three occasions he
had entered the ring with Knockout
Brown when he was fighting as a
featherweight. On two occasions .Egan
claims that he was robbed of the de-
cision by the referee, and on the last
meeting he had all the best Of the GO
idSl UOuL Will bTOWn ERdD
told me that he sent Brown to the
floor no less than three times, and had
1t not been for the gong on one or two
occasions he would have won the bout
by knockout. Now, l know Browns
style of fighting we'll enough to know
that it takes a mighty good boy to stay
the limit with him, much less than to
have him in a bad way.
"Egan looks to me to be a bit more
aggressive than does CLANCY. This fell
low CLANCY may be all right. but he is
a one-handed fighter. Egan, on the
other hand, Is just the opposite He has
a kick in either mitt, and a delivery of
blows that is hard to get on to. What
! like about the little fellow from the
Capital City is that he is busy all the
time.
He is a fellow who keeps going all
the time, and honestly he can travel as
fast as a Western cyclone.
II think that il Egan plays continu-
ally for the body he will have little
trouble in defeating Clancy when the
pair comes together

Famous Hitters Good
At WELDING the Cue

That practically every great hitter IL
baseball has been an expert pool or bill
lard player Is a rather interesting fact
that came to light last night while Jack
Doyle was trying to get Hal Chase and
John McGraw to play a three-cushion
billiard match before the teams went
South for spring practice, says q spe-
cial from New York.
Chase and McGraw are both experts
with TIE cue, and 1t was while they
were being discussed Pop Anson called
attention to the fact that ell of the great
hitters were good with the ivories. Anson
is a greater expert than either McGraw
or Chase at billiards, and 1t is also true
that he was probably the heaviest hit
ter that baseball has ever had.
Whether this aptitude for billiards is
due to the ballplayer's good eye at the
bat or whether his good eye at the
bat is due to billiards is an open ques-
ton. The records seem to bear out the
former
When Mike Donlin was in the fight
for batting honors of the National
League he played in the amateur bill
lard tournament and was considered
one Of the best players. Christy Mathew
son is a crack three-cushion player and
so Is Fred Merkle.
Nap LaJoie, the great hitter Of the
Cleveland club, Is an expert pool player.
He says that his good eye at pool and
baseball is due to the fact that he has
never allowed himself to read newspa-
pers or books by lamplight. In fact,
Lajoie says he has not read after dark
for more than ten years. He thinks all
ballplayers would be benefited II they
did not use their eyss by artificial
light. {.
Ty Cobb thinks so well of his billiard
playing that he has challenged Hal
Chase to a match game the first time
they meet in Detroit. Eddie Collins is
a crack pool player and while q Co.
lumbia student he was one of the best
players in the school.
Willie Keeler never became a billiard
player because he did not care for the
game. While the other players were
toying with the worries Keeler was al
ways reading books. He and AL Orth
have the reputation Of being the two
greatest bookworms in baseball.

1t was thought for a time that the
Carlisle Indians would not run against
the Penn relay team, but Manager
Straus has obtained the assurance from
Glen Warner, of the Indian school, that
a team would be sent down.
Everything is in readiness for the
games, and the officials hope to have

After scholastic athletes.

Those enthusiastic Virginia alumni
who are expecting to get Fritz Reuter-
and George Hamilton. the Central High
athletes, to go to Charlottesville next
fall have evidently overlooked the fact
that both of these stars still have
another year in school.
That both Hamilton and Reuter- would
make desirable athletic caliber for any
university cannot be denied, but it is
decidedly unlikely that they will cut
their scholastic careers before gradua-
tion. Statements to the contrary not
withstanding. Virginia has always got
ten her share of the graduates Of the
Washington schools, but when it comes
to the two athletes at question, the
Charlottesville graduates will probably
find that some other colleges are ang-
ling for the pair.

Chicago Syndicate
After St. Louis Browns

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-Rumors are rife
here today that the St Louis Browns
may be purchased by a syndicate of
wealthy Chicagoans, and that Jimmy
Callahan, former White Sox star, may
be placed at their head.
The organizer of the syndicate, whose
name Is kept secret, is quoted as saying
that II the st. Louis club Is for sale and
a satisfactory price is named he can
consummate the transfer within twenty
minutes.

Keller In Toronto.

BALTIMORE. Feb. S.-A frank con-
fession has been made by Willie Keeler,
the old Oriole star, for he admitted that
he will play with Joe Kelley's Toronto
team this year. While all baseball ex-
I,erts have believed that Keller finally
would sign his name to a Toronto con-
tract, neither Willie nor Joe Kelley
would openly admit that an understand
ing had been reached until Willie let
the cat out Of the bag. =.

Praise for Smith.

Commenting upon The work Of the
Georgetown field and track captain. the
New York Telegraph has the following
to say:
Under proper coaching Smith, the
Georgetown hurdler, would become one
of the best in the country. He has the
speed and can get off his mark in good
shape, but he lags over the sticks, TAX
ing them too fine, with the result that
he loses more speed than necessary 60
ing over each jump"

Annapolis gets Wheaton.

Although the head coach has not yet
been selected, the Midshipmen's foot
ball board has already arranged to have
Henry Wheaton, the former Yale back
return as field coach next fall.
For the past two years Wheaton has
played a prominent part in Navy's sue
cess on the gridiron and his reappoint-
nent is good news to the Middies, with
whom he is most popular.

Hartsel in line.

The latest member of the Philadelphia
Athletics to send In his signed contract
is Topsy Hartsel.
It will be the tenth season for the
outfielder under Connie Mack. During
his career as an Athletic. Hartsel has
played on three pennant winning teams
and has taken part in two worlds
championships. This would be enough
for most players, but Hartsel still has
a whole lot of baseball left in him.
and he will put up another mighty bid
for one of the cutfield positions.

Brown VS.. Wolgast.

That lightweight battle in Philadel-
phia tonight should bring forth some
classy fighting.
Wolgast. as champion. is naturally
the favorte but Knockout Brown has
been showing enough class in his bouts
around New York to justify the expec'
tation that he will force the title holder
TO extend himself to the limit in order
to get the verdict from the many critics
who will be at the ringside.
Since winning the top honors by beat
ing the much-battered Nelson one year
ago this month, Wolgast has had little
class to compete against, but tonight
he will have an opportunity to show
Eastern experts his exact status.
Unless there Is chance blow, l da
not expected to see a knockout in the
short bout.
