UNUSUAL SEND0FF
FOR EIGHTEENTH
BIG CROWD OF PEOPLE MEET
SOLDIERS AT DEPOT AND SING
HYMNS IN FAREWELL.

Unusual indeed was the "sendoff'
accorded the First battalion of the
Eighteenth infantry last night when
officers and men, fully equipped for
field service, left M%issoula for Texas
to be on hand and ready for action
should the United States send troops
into Mexico. AS the special pulled
into the station from the post the SOL
dierS were met with the rouslng
strains of America which was being
sung by more than 800 men and
women. and as the special pulled out
a few minutes later the soldiers waved
goodbye to the throng, which was
earnestly singing, God Be With You
Till We Meet Again.
The gathering at the depot was sug-
gested by Evangelist Smith at the re-
vival meeting last evening, and under
the leadership of Musical Director Gill
more more han 800 persons marched
to the depot to wish the soldiers,
many of whom had been attending the
meeting since reaching Missoula, God
speed. There was some delay in the
loading at the fort, and the train, due
to reach the city at $50, did not pull
in until 11:1O. During the intervening
time the crowd gathered in the wait
ing room at the station n held a
stirring o service. Only a few left
the ranks, and the singing continued
through the long wait until the spe-
cial arrived. In spite of the cold the
crowd sWarmed about the coaches
and sang and spoke words of o
agement to the men who are going to
the front for service, the nature of
which is as yet p~roblematical. 1t was
evident that the soldiers We're taken
completely by surprise at the demon
%stration. But they soon recovered
themselves and the effect vas inter
esting. The soldiers We're sober in
their talk and actions, and keenly APP
preciated the spirit of the gathering.
They opened their car windows and
talked earnestly, shaking hands with
hundreds and expressing keen regret
at being called from Missoula before
they had had an opportunity to get
acquainted.
The special train which carried the
Eighteenth from Missoula last night
was made up of five tourist and one
standard sleeper, two baggage ears.
six box cars and three flat cars. In
the box and flat cars freight and
equipment was packed snugly away,
and this section of the special resem-
bled a circus train, especially the flat
cars which carried the freight wagons
and ambulances. The special is routed
over the Northern Pacific to Billings,
from where it will be taken to Denver
and then on south over the Colorado
Southern. The trip will consume
about five days.

The college editors are learning the

story as proof. A doz-
POISON en- or more girls who
SQUAD live at the dormitory
and several of the pro-
fessors who board there, have been i'll
during the past week. The doctors
have declared that an epidemic of in
fluenza is the answer, but the wide

accept that explanation. The meals
served at the dormitory have been q
source of supply for college wits for
generations, Just as the food served at
similar boarding houses has been
ridiCuled on every college calnpu in

the epidemic onto the cooks. Editor
| Carl Dickey decided to investigate.
In emulation of DIR. Wiley he or

heroic young men who declared their

Not long g Or. G. r. Reynolds, head
of the department of English at the
university, made the
A NEW Weekly kaimin. the
COURSE paper published by the
students, the basis for
a course in journalism. A class was
organized which meets once a week
for a lecture on journalistic principles
and once a week to discuss the kai-
min. Each member Of the class is
required to write two columns of
news a week. In this n the
paper is filled with news, the report
ers are given instruction in their work
and plans for the Improvement of the
splendid little paper are discussed.
The plan has succeeded remarkably
thus far. The interest in the Kali
min has increased and a real course
in journalism is being developed. The
paper itself is improving every week.
The news is better handled in each
succeeding issue and there is more of
it. Special features are being intro-
duced, too. and the kaimin is really
doing a lot to make a good reputation
for the University of Montana. I4arg-
er college apers are taking notice Of
the little sheet and are praising its
work, and the. University of Montana
is profiting thereby. The editors and
reporters are gaining in experience
and knowledge, too. Many of them
plan to follow journalistic careers and
under the new system of management
they are learning a lot that will help
them after they leave the campus
They are taught how to handle and
recognize news and they are able In
addition to work ON the "makeup' II
the print shop. The new course il
journalism is succeeding 50 well thai
a department may yet be the result.

INDIAN BILL FAILED.
Senator Fall at Closing Hours of Con
gress, Secured Floor and Talked
the Measure to Death

Washington, D. c., March 4.-The
Indian Appropriation bill, carrying
with it an appropriation of $I25,ooo 70
suppress the liquor traffic among In
dams was left over for the next Con-
gress to deal with The measure also
carried with it items for the relief of
the families of Will H. Stanley and K.
L. Bowman, who were killed by liquor
men and also an item for the relief Of
Omer d. Lewis, an officer in the
Indian Service who had his throat cut
by bootlegger and who survived but
with the loss of his voice
The bill was defeated through the
efforts of Senator A. B. Fall, liquor
sympathizer, of New Mexico, who Sc
cured the floor during the last hours
of Congress and talked the bill to
death.
Inasmuch as the appropriation bill
could not go into effect until July ],
there is time for the special session
of Congress to deal with the matter.

Troubles of the Mother>in>Law
From Gallipolis Tribune.1

A man weary of his mother-in-law
put bullfrogs between her sheets to
make her rest irregular. AS a varia-
ton, he ted row of tin cans under
her bed, with string attached, which
he pulled oft in the noisy night to dis
turb the good lady's dreams. He even
went so far as ostentatiously to serve
the cat at meals before decorating the
plate of his wife's mother. She, good
woman, finally took offense at these
scarcely yelled indications of dislike
on the part of her son-in-law, and in
retaliation persuaded her daughter to
sue him for divorce That's how the
mans playful humor came to get pub
licity.

Please listen. A million people
got home comforts from us in this
easy way. All had modest incomes,
yet we trusted them for IL months

All got goods on 80 days approx

You can get all sorts of COM
forts like those million people did.
3 Gents a Day
The way is simply this:
Pick out what you want. Have
it sent on one months trial. If you

There is no red tape, no publicity.
Y OH sign no contract, no mortgage.
You pay no extra price, no interest.
Pay as you can Send little each
month if convenient. If it isn't, we
will wait We have no collectors.
Let Us Prove 1t
Let us show you how we do this
How we send goods on approval,
