ter, Miss Margaret Beck, arrived in
Missoula yesterday, after a winter
spent pleasantly in southern Califor-
MIA. Mr.. Seek said yesterday, after
he had expressed the proper amount
of pleasure at being once more at
home in Missoula, I'VE certainly got
the most possible enjoyment out Of
the California climate and scenery
this winter. A brother came from
Iowa to make us a visit and, as it was
the first time he had been on the Pa
cific coast, We tried to have him see
all the sights. We used 47G gallons
of gasoline in &c days for our auto
mobile, but We had a mighty good
time in the process. On our Journey
home, We stopped over in Salt Lake
City and had dinner with our former
n~eighbors, Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney Inch.
They have a beautiful home. there and
are evidently very prosperous and
happy"

ENOUGH BEAVER BOARD
TO BUILD SMALL CITY

The largest shipment of building
material ever made has been delivered
to the Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway at Chicago, for delivery in the
west and northwest. This consists
of 80 cars of beaver board and is part
of a shipment of 120 cars, or -four
train loads, consigned to the far west.
There is enough beaver board in this
train to make a path from New York
to Denver or from St. Louis to Seat
tie; there is enough for all the. walls
and ceilings in a good sized town. A
great deal of interest has been aroused
in railroad and business circles for it
is rumored that these train loads are
mi of the first of a large number of
similar shipments. This vast guam
tity of beaver board, now being used
certainly proves the popularity Of this
product in replacing lath and plaster.
It is predicted hat beaver board will
practically supplant these materials in
a few years.

THE HER AID

In 1777 General George Washington
and Robert Morris were appointed to
design flag for the nation. They en-
gagged Mrs. Elizabeth Ross to make
the flag from a drawing made by
Washington This flag was adopted
June IA, 1777, by Congress. 1t was
resolved:
THAT the flag of the United States
be thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white, with the union of thirteen white
stars on a blue field"
In 1918 it was resolved:
THAT q star should be added when
ever a new state was admitted, while
the stripes remain the same"
Red represents courage, white pur
ity, and blue justice.
Wherever the American flag is SEEN
it brings better days. If one is dis
couraged it brings new hope, for it is
the pledge of justice, civilization and
Christianity. The tyrannical only
have reason to hate ii. "Old Glory" is
a very sacred thing to the American
citizen, for under it he enjoys the lib
erty for which our flag stands.
