AUTO OWNERS ASKED TO
AID VETERANS IN PARADE.
lnfirmity and Old Age to Be
Overcome Memorial Day.

The owners of automobiles in this
city will be asked for the use OF their
machines for Memorial Day purposes
so that the old G. A. r. men, some Of
whom are very feeble, need not walk In
the parade on Memorial Day. This
was decided on at the meeting of the
Memorial Day committee at the city
Hall last night. Veterans representing
seven G. A.. r. posts spoke of the in
trinity of their comrades, and because
the committee has not sufficient funds
to supply automobiles private owners
will be appealed to.
1t was announced that the evening
services WI be held in the First Pres
byterian Church. Edward I. Sweeney,
principal of the Bayonne High School.

PRIEST DRAWS
LESSONS FROM
HIGH ST. FIRE
Uncertainty of Life and COnse-
quences of Unpreparedness
Related at Mission.

Hundreds of women attended the
third nights mission service last night
in ST. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church,
Wallace place. The Rev. John E.. Wick
ham preached a touching sermon on
Death The young priest, with his
crucifix to his left breast n hands
outstretched, eloquently appealed To
the women to be always ready fer
death. He referred to the High street
factory fire, in which so many young
lives of girls were blotted out.
Father Wiekfam said in part: 1T is
appointed that one day all men must
die. One doctrine never denied is that
of death; men refuse both heaven and
he'll; men here refuse the doctrines of
God, but not one man. however, has
ever refused the doctrine of death.
Does it strike you women that you
are nearer tonight to death than three
years ago when many a woman made
the mission in this church and have
gone to God for judgment? But many
who have not gone are three years
nearer to death.
Some day you will be lying in this
aisle in your coffin. Some Sunday the
priest of this parish will stand in the
pulpit and tell the parishioners that
their prayers are requested for the re-
pose of you soul, that you and the
souls of ali the faithful departed may
rest in peace forever.
Meditation Necessary.
Tonight we are going to mediate.
You remember the score of young
-sf- Il Id 80 x..A-f- -
expecting to be so suddenly called be-
fore the face of God. Let us hope that
every one in that ill-fated fire may be
at peace tonight with God.
"A woman is a fool to think that she
may live a life as she pleases. and
then think that God will give her time
to die. You will notice in the news
papers of women dying alone. We shall
all die alone. Remember man that
thou art dust and unto dust thou shalt
return.
Death is a final settlement, heaven
or hell"
Previous TO the sermon the Rev.
Father Andrew T.. Roche gave a brief
talk on the Pope. and recited
the rosary. The services concluded
with Benedietion of the Most Blessed
Sacrament and the singing of 80 Sal
utaris,'' from Wiegand, by Miss Mar
garet G.. Lynch, and Holy God, We
Praise Thy Name" by the choir.
The priest began hearing confessions
today during the hours of 10 to IL in
the morning, 8 to $3.50 in the after
noon. and 1870 to 10 in the evening,
and will continue until the close of the
mission,

The Ekalaka eagle. [volume] (Ekalaka, Mont.) 1909-1920, 1911-06-16

The Daily Star of Miles came
out on the 10th inst. with a big
scare head on the front page
telling that ''Ekalaka Has Had
No Rain For One Year,. Now
what do you know about that
kind of misrepresentation from a
new paper that wants to build
up and prosper. 1t seems that
Bro. Scanlon is trying to make a
second Saturday Blade" out of
his sheet. Of course the article
came as Especial correspondence
but even at that the editor should
have known that the truth was
very lacking and that his cores
pendent must have been drunk
or otherwise derangeu. From
the records at the local weather
observers station we find that IA
inches of rain has fallen within
this district during the past II
months and that nearly three
inches has fallen here during the
past 60 days. Does this look as
if Ekalaka has had no rain? We
have noticed several little articles
in the Star OF late that were very
lacking in truth concerning the
Ekalaka country and it is only
right that our people make a
kick against the publishing Of
such false statements. This last
article also says that our grave
yard is nearer town than the new
school house and that compari-
lively a small part of the land
around Ekalaka is cultivated.
The author is inclined to be a
knocker or else he wrote the ar
ticle while out of his head. If
the Star wishes to give it's read
ers facts concerning this country
they should employ correspon-
dents who will get facts and not
peddle out a bunch Of dope that
does more harm than good. Miles
City has a good field for a daily
paper but such a sheet must pub
fish the truth if it wishes to Sc
cure the support Of the outside
country.

diluted patriotism is very poor kind
DR.. Richard explained to a reporter Of
The Tribune that while the newspapers
called it Child swapping the system
in reality simply called for an exchange
Of board and lodging between families
of different countries. Thus, if Mrs.
Smith. Of Harlem. has a couple Of
daughters who are growing up and who
want to see something Of the world, she
could communicate with the exchange
Lureau in Paris. which would undoubt-
cdly have on file the addresses Of nu-
merous French families equally desirous
that their daughters should have the
benefit of a sojourn in this country.
The exchanges would, Of course. take
place between families Of approximately
the same walk in life This would ne
cessitate the maintenance OF bureau OF
exchange in the United States. The
business of this bureau would be to
keep a record of the addresses, social
POSITION. religious faith, etc, of the per-
sens Of all nations who registered them
selves as willing 10 exchange their or
srrjng Cor a summer or two.
"The age is from seventeen up" said
he. while it is intended that the eX-
change shall chiefly be Of those between
this age and twenty-five. the operation
of the plan should be as elastic as pos
sible. IL might, for instance. be of SER
vice TO teachers desiring to spend a
simmer in some European country. one |
woman who conducts private school
for girls suggested that she would like |
IN snend a summer with German fam |
iIv and would take a girl into her school |
IN exchange. This plan would give many |
teachers an opportunity to get in con-
toct with life in other countries in an
way.
THAT is the purpose of the idea. IL
is TO do for people OF moderate means :

years of youth?
1T is true" continued Or. Richard,
that Europe is chock full of peripatetic
americans during all the summer
months, bat the trouble is they hang
together and minglc little with the ma
tivos. often frequenting hotels and pen
sions where there are no other guests
