The annual convention of the
school teachers of Custer County
will be held sometime during the
month of October and there has
been considerable talk as to the
place for the meeting. We under
stand that Miss Mary Lee Wilson
county superintendent Of schools,
is heartily in accord with the
move made to have the conven-
ton held in Ekalaka and it is
more than probable that this
place will be chosen. The pee
pie Of Ekalaka would be pleased
to have the opportunity Of enter
tanning the school teachers and
receiving a visit from them.

THE YOUNG BRIDES
FIRST DISCOVERY

Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new HON to settle
down to what they hoped to be one long
uninterrupted blissful honeymoon.
But, alas! the young brides troubles
soon begin, when she tried to reduce the
cost of living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was a lot for her money, and it was not
all baking powder, for the bulk of it was
cheap materials which had no leavening
power. Such powders will not make light,
wholesome food. And because Of the alb
sence of leavening gas, it requires from
two or three times as much to raise cakes
or biscuits as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus. eventually. the actual cost to
you, of cheap baking powders, is more
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave the
bread bleached and acid, sometimes vel
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable.
They are not always of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the per-
fectly wholesome baking powder, moder-
Ate in price, and always uniform and re-
liable. Calumet keeps Indefinitely, makes
cooking easy, and is certainly the most
economical after all.

Montreal, Can, Jan. 9. - Trade
agreements may take down the bars
and turn Canada's natural resources
over to the United States. The best
way to continue good relations be-
tween the two countries is for each to
stand alone and avoid agreements
that may end in disputes. Such was
the opinion expressed today aa the
weekly luncheon of the Canadian club
by Clifford Sifton, chairman OF the
Dominion Conservation commission
and a former member of the Laurier
government. His audience was COM
posed of leading bankers and business
men of Montreal, senator's and mem
bers of parliament, and they cheered
the sentiment to the echo. Sifton was
careful to state that his views on
reciprocity were his own, quite apart
from political affiliations and possibly
out of harmony with the views OF
many of both great parties. 1T would
be altogether apart from my duty to
discuss the political or national as
poets of this question" he said, but

LIGHTING BY GAS.
II Was a Costly Process When II Was
First Established.

II Was a Costly Process When II Was
First Established.
The first Incorporated gas company
was the National Light and Heat Com
pany of England, established in 1909.
In America the first gas company was
incorporated in Baltimore in 1916, the
second one in Boston in 1922, and the
next one was the New York Gaslight
company. incorporated in 1928.
Prior to 1880 the gas business of this
country was nominal, but the price
probably was responsible for its slow
development. From 1924 to 1928, says
Moody's Magazine, the New York Gas
light company sold gas to consumers
ut the rate Of $40 thousand cubic
feet.
The first artificial Illuminating gas
was produced in England about 1726
by one Dr. Hales, but not until 17SG
was practical test made. In that
year the Earl Of Dundonald Of Scot
land arranged IN apparatus by which
he lighted his castle with gas. The
same year William Murdoch of Biz
mineham. England, introduced gas as
Il light in his workshops at Redruth
and Cornwall.
As Mr.. Murdoch was the first man
to reap any commercial benefit from
the discovery Of the use of illuminat-
ing gas, he may properly be accredited
as the father of modem public utili-
ties. In 1918 London bridge was illu-
minated by gas, and five years later
gas was in general use throughout the
main part of London.

In the smoking room Of the Hotel
des Hes Britanniques at the lovely re-
sort Of Mentone, on the French RI
viera, some three years ago two Eng
lishmen met. After half an hours
conversation the Englishman from
Manchester said to his new acquaint-
ance from London:
Il say, old fellow, would you mind
taking a small parcel for me to Paris
and have it sent to this address there
I'm leaving for Milan in the morning"
The Londoner willingly consented to
do this much for one of his country

In the morning the package was left

The Lendoncr left Mentone that aft.

Red Letter Days.

The origin of red letter day" has
been traced back to the third century.
Gregory, bishop of Caesarea, jealous
for the conversion Of pagans, found
them unwilling to give up their Gus
tomary recreations ut the festivals Of
their gods, so, taking a leaf out of
their book, he instituted festivals in
honor of saints and martyrs. This ex-
ample soon led to the institution of
holy days, now corrupted into holt
days. In old almanacs all such holy
days were set forth in red ink, the
rest being in black; hence the term
'.red letter day" for any notable occa-
sion. Others say that the origin Of the
expression Is much more recent and Is
due to the fact that Saints day, the
9Th of November, the kings birthday
and accession and King Charles day
were similarly marked of in red as
holidays for the Bank Of England, evil
