TALKING ABOUT sTRAws.

The Billings (Mont0 Daily Gazette.
which has been strong Roosevelt pa
per until recently, has come over to
Taft, the. editor giving his reasons for
the change in double-coIumn article.
declaring that he sees no hope for the
success of the Third Term party, and
is convinced that the cause of real re
form can be. best promoted by cors
tinuing the Republican party in power
The article particularly emphasizes
the danger OF bringing about adverse
business conditions through "a charge
in administration. and points out the
steady advance which has been made
under Republican policies. 1t is a
most significant editorial, and as the
Gazette is the most important paper in
Montana, its influence upon the cleo
ton can hardly be measured. II is only
another one of the innumerable Signs
that the Third Term party has col
Iapsed, that the country realizes the
fight is between the Republican party
and the Democratic party. and thai no
possible benefit could be derived from
q change.

MUST VOTE FOR TAFT
Roosevelt. Who Cannot Be Elected
Says That Wilson's Election Means
Nationwide Disaster.

Col. Roosevelt, the Third Term can
didate. cannot possibly be elected
There is no way in which he can car
ry enough states to give him 266 cleo
toral votes.
But by dividing the Republican
party, Col. Roosevelt can aid in elect
ing Woodrow Wilson. the Democratic
candidate. Should Wilson be elected {?
Roosevelt says that Wilson's election
would plunge this country into nation
wide disaster. Here are Roosevelt's
own words written in the Outlook of
July, q, 1912:
IF DR.. Wilson were elected, he
would either have to repudiate the
promises made about the tariff in the
Democratic platform or else bring ev-
cry industry in the country to a crash
which would make all panies in our
past history seem like child's play in
comparison In short. we're DR.. Will
son elected On this platform. he would
be obliged at the very outset of his ad-
! ministration to face the alternatives
of dishonesty or disaster, the alterna-
tives or ref sing to carry out the ex-
pressed pledges of the platform, or
else of causing such disaster to ev-
cry worker in the country as would
mean nationwide ruin"
AS Roosevelt cannot be elected, and
as Roosevelt says that Wilson's cleo
ton would mean disaster it is a log
ical conclusion that the vote of the
country must be given to President
Taft.

you that If you so desire you can leave
the cedar pJsts in place, which are
supporting your basement wall, if
these posts are not needed to hold
back the dirt behind them In other
words if the earthen walls will not cave
should a few posts be removed, we
would advise you to take out as many
posts as may not he needed TO support
the barn and TO I'll in behind and

concrete should be mixed one ~ part

mouse plaques wherever the mice ex-
list. Even when In small numbers
they destroy considerable clover and
alfalfa and injure orchards, nurseries
ana root crops.
This is the first recorded instance of
an Eruption of field mice In North
America attaining the proportions Of
a plague The experience indicates
tie probability Of future and even
more disastrous outbreaks. In the
extensive reclaimed areas OF the west
the abundant food and luxurious cover
furnished by alfalfa fields and the
miles of irrigation bitches, which sf-
ford these mice suitable homes along
their banks, greatly favor their In
crease. while surrounding deser. con-
ditions limit the spread Of mice be-
yond the cultivated areas.
Without doubt poisoning is the best
method at present known Of dealing
with e ED mice on an extensive scale.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased pof ion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused By al infiamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is tho result, and unless the in
9ammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
WIPES AWAY ITS DEBT

An event which was OF great inter-
est and importance to members and
friends OF Bethany Presbyterian
church occurred Wednesday night
on the lawn of the H. c. Bobzien
home on North Eighth street. the
burning of the mortgage on the
church and also on the manse prop
erty. and the presentation to Geo.
P. Cramer OF handsome loving cup.
There were several hundred peo-
Pile gathered in the spacious grounds
enjoying the evening, chatting and
visiting. Soon the program was an
nounced and Prof Field and Mrs.
Veatch rendered plano selection,
followed by a vocal solo by Miss Eve
lyn South with violin accompaniment
by Miss Prudence Pardee. Then the
Parker sisters, who have delighted
Bethany members for many years,
sang a pleasing song arranged for
quartet. This was followed by a
solo by Mrs. w. w. Walker and
piano selection by Prof Field.
Then followed the burning OF the
mortgages which was accomplished
amid the glow of red fire candles, the
treasurer consigning the documents
to the flames, and there arose from
the throats of the campany Praise
God, from Whom All Blessings Flow"
While the company was silently
watching the last embers fade away,
Rev. Robert Mclean stepped forward
and spoke of the work of founding
Bethany church, as only one who had
labored from its beginning could
speak, and then In a few appropriate
words presented Geo. Cramer with
handsome silver loving cup, tok-
en- of appreciation from the congrega-
ton for his 16 years OF faithful ser
vice in caring for the finances Of the
organization. This cup is IL inches
high and rests on a pedestal of sew
eral inches. 1t is graceful in shape
engraved with appropriate wording
and a picture OF the church.
Ice cream and cake and punch
were served to all present.
