THE SPINSTERS'
CONVENTION

The Old Maids or Spinster's Con-
ventiOn, which was held in Balm s
hall Tuesday evening. was success
and was we'll attended despite the in
clemency Of the weather.
The stage setting for the cOnven-
tion was most excellent. From the
dress and actions of the ladies taking
part one would imagine that each and
everyone had participated in such
meetings in reality. The dresses
were Of variegated colors, while the
cOiffures were the result OF many
hours of work.
The musical selections were quite
numerous, but the word harmony
should not he thought OF in connec-
tion with the vocal selections by the
convention. 1t might be stated here
that Geo. 5. Haynes will receive
world wide renown by the compo-
SitiOn of some of the songs rendered.
The frequent use of the powder
puff, by the members OF the cOnven-
tion, was one of the laughable al
though truly feminine features of the
entertainment.
Oscar Skeen, Prof. Dittmar and
Bert Foerschler added greatly to the
amusement Of the audience Wv the
show OF their feminine propensities.
Red Folsom furnished the motor
power for the machine in which the
old maids were transformed into
beautiful young damsels.
Misses Hazel Ray and Pearl Skeen
rendered vocal selection which was
highly appreciated.
Miss Charlotte Coleman acted as
pianist during the evening and by
her execution proved herself COM
ing musician.
The ladies realized s35 from the
entertainment. The money will be
used to defray the current expenses
Of the Methodist and congregational
churches.
Mrs. John Dolan and Miss Edith
Stone desire to thank each one who
took part in the Spinsters' Conven-
tiOsl Tuesday evening and also thank
the general public for their patron-
age.
The ladies who took part were as

FLOUR MADE
IN MONTANA

With the Importance of Montana
asa wheat-growing state, comes the
rapid development Of the Touring in
dustry in this state, and in this con-
necti"n it is worthy Of note that Mon
tana flour has already attained Il higl,
measure Of popularity. not only in
Montana. but in the various parts Of
the world to which it is shipped.
Montana flour, like many of the
other products Of the Treasure State,
has made good. TO this state have
been attracted some Of the most cap
able millers in the world. Into Mon
tana has been shipped the most mod
ern Touring mills ever constructed.
The wheat grown in the Treasure
state is the best that can be grown
anywhere. 1t is not surprising then
that aside from the general desire to
patronize home industry, the made
in-Montana flour should be called for
by the discriminating housewife when
she gives her order to her grocer
Helena Record.
1t is generally conceded that the
milling industry is more protitably
conducted in Montana than in any
other section of the country. Some
uay judith Gap, the center of Il great
grain producing section. will have IA
hour mil, and it will be very profit
able investment if conducted proper
ly.
