AN INVEST

Some months ago quite a mum
Der Of Harlowton people invested
in good thing in washing
machines. Recently each one Of
these investors received an anony
nous letter stating that it was
understood the local people we're
looking for get-rich-quick schemes
and skin games and that if such
was the case, they had propo-
sition in cats to lay before them.
The proposition then was outlined
something like the following:
| The increase in cats was figured
out to be twelve year. A tract
Of land was to be purchased and
stocked with cats. The cat hides
would bring thirty cents piece.
Now it would be necessary to feed
the cats so another piece Of land
was to be purchased to raise rats
to feed the cats. But the problem
then would be to feed the rats, but
this was figured out very simply
and that problem would be solved
by feeding the rats the dead car
casses of the cats, and so on ad
infinitum. Some Of the recipients
Of this anonymous communication

was made to keep the matter quiet

Country clubs are built for lovers of
nature and contain all sorts of con
venienccs for enabling them to soak
themselves in bucolic bliss including grill
rooms bars. golf courses, piano players
and table d'hOte dinners. With the aid
of these and other comforts a man can
sit in the rathskcHar of a country club
and drink in the pure frsh air and other
things until the last car leaves for the
city. People who have had a long COURSE
In country clubs become so familiar
with the JOYOUS life of the rural districts
that they can distinguish between the
turkey trot and Tango dances by ear
and distinguish a bull frog from a bulb
calf with the skill of an old agricul-
turalist.
Country club members are divided
roughly into two classes-thOse who SOW,

The Bible in the School.

The Northwest Church Life, for
August, 1912, published at Seattle,
Wash, where regular Bible reading
in public schools is prohibited, says:
We have received from the De-
partment of Public Instruction at
Sydney, N. S. W., Australia, sample
copies of the text books containing
selected scriptures put out by the
department and used in the public
schools. These text books are very
suggestive. They show us how we
here in America, could have similar
text books prepared, with selections
from the Bible that might be used as
classics, the selections to be made
by broad committees, with such care
that they would not be Objectionable
to any one.
For a long time we have thought
it a most unfortunate matter that Sc
lections from the old classics are
used so extensively in our schools,
while no SIMILAR headings have been
culled from the scriptures to be used
as a part of the education of our
youth.
1t may well be considered as a Sc
rious question as to whether a per-
son may lay claim to a liberal edu-
cation, who has never had any train
ing in the Bible. 1t is absurd to say
that a satisfactory agreement cannot
be made by a broad-minded committee
upon suitable scripture selections for
public school use. 1t can be done. 1t
should be done.
