GRAFT IN ARMY SHOES
IS CHARGED IN HOUSE
Pennsylvania Member Says
Boston Firm Has Frozen
Out Competitors.

As result of a charge made in debate
several days ago by Representative d.
fenderfer of Pennsylvania that money
and influence were being used to give
an eastern manufacturing concern a mo-
nopoly in the contract for shoes for the
army and navy. Representative Gardner
of Massachusetts yesterday introduced
resolutions of inquiry on the subject. The
resolutions call on the Secretary Of War
and Secretary of the Navy for all possi7
bic information concerning the shoe con-
tracts.
Mr.. Difenderfer interrupted Mr.. Card
ner in his speech Oh the free list bill
Wednesday while discussing government
contract prices for army shoes.
us it not fact" he asked, That Her
mann & Co. of Boston absolutely control,
after freezing out every other competitor
in the United States the manufacture of
shoes for the army and navy of the
United States?'
Freeze Out, He Says.
Mr.. Gardner replied that he had never
heard of such a firm.
II shall be at liberty then in the near
future said Mr.. Difenderfer in response.
ITO show to the gentlemen that they have
absolute control of the shoes manufac-
tured in the country for the army and
navy, and that they have frozen out COM
petitors that l know of, who have lost
out and today are bankrupt owing to the
fact that this firm of Hermann & Co,
have used their influence with the gov
eminent representatives of the United
States or those in control of the gov
eminent of the United States have used
their influence, to freeze out competitors
and have placed them on the black list, SO
to speak, and have even gone so far as to
give money so that other firms may not
be competitors after freezing them out"

What does good road mean to a
rural school? What does good road
mean to a rural community socially?
A certain township in southeast Kan
sas saw fit TO construct two miles Of
rock road from a small town south
through Il rural school district. Six
children of school age lived on farms
adjacent to the rock road. six on
the same length Of earth road in the
west part of the school district. The
earth road was in poor condition most

The children on the good road went
to city schools. walking most Of the

Two Of the children living on the
rock road are now sophomoreS in agri-
cultural colleges. two are seniors in
high school, and two are freshmen in
high school.
Two children living adjacent to the
earth road finished the rural school.
Now they are hardly average farmers.
Four became discouraged and quit the
rural school before they were cradU-
tied. They are day laborers in near

stretch Of two to four miles of poor
road would make a difference in ones

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
INITIATE LARGE CLASS

The Knights OF Columbus took
possession of the town last Sunday.
wnen the Kalispell degree team, ac-
companied by a large number of
friends, swooped down on ten
unwary Whitefish candidates and
decorated them with the first degree
OF knighthood in the Masonic hall.
The solemn event took place i'm
mediately. after services in st.
Charles church and lasted for near
~ three hours. Upon completion Of
the mysterious work Of the order, all
repaired to Father Van Aken's res
idence. where q banquet was ten

BY the Rev. Father. The tables
We're suitably decorated for the oc-
cassion and thirty-six hungry noble
men sat down to the most sumptu-
ous repast ever dished up in White
fish, or for that matter. in Flathead
county. They all agreed that what
the Fathers housekeeper does not
know about cooking, is not worth
learning. During the dinner a
string orchestra from Kalispell dis
Dersed enchanting music, which ELI
cited mighty volumes Of applause.
Speeches were made under the
toast t-mastership Of DR.. O'Neill OF
Kalispell, stories were told. Sol
Picket whistled dirge, M. J. Chess
man gave a clog-dance. and James
Cavanaugh added to his reputation
as a raconteur. Father Van AIKEN,
In a semi-earnest, semi-humorous
vein. gave comprehensive review
Of the growth Of the Church in
northwestern Montana. and drew his
hearers attention to the epoch
marked in the Church's history by
the coming into Whitefish of the
knights Of Columbus.
The Kalispell Knights all agreed
that the Whitefish people had set
mark for entertaining visitors
which would be hard to reach and
impossible to surpass.
Whitefish now numbers about Is
members of the X. G. and the
chance for the establishment of a
K. c. Club, to be followed eventual
ly by regular council was dis
cussed and found very bright.

tered these lands and picked out the
choicest parcels and are going

endeavor to hold the land by these
rights when eventually thrown open
for settlement. This has called
forth a volume Of protest from the
residents in that vicinity. who have
passed resolutions which will be
sent to Warrington, praying that
the land in this reservation be
thrown open to settlement by the
lottery plan. thus giving each and
every person an equal chance. the

been opened to settlement in the
past.
