STEAM LAUNDRY BURNS

The boys of the Libby Volunteer
Fire department had to roll out in
the cold last Saturday morning at
six O'Clock with the thermometer
standing at IS below zero. The
Libby steam laundry caught fire in
the engine room and the fire had
gained such headway before the
alarm was sent in, that the boys
had difficulty in saving much of
the property. AS it was the whole
laundry part of the building is
ruined and the residence part badly
damaged. 1t is estimated that the
loss will amount to $4,000. $4,000
worth of insurance was carried.
AS soon as the insurance adjusters
get here and finish their work ar
rangemen:s will be made to get
new machinery and fix up the
building for business again. 1t
will probably be three months be-
fore Libby has steam laundry in
operation again.
The boys of the fire department
are to be commended for the good
work they did in getting to the
fire and working with it. Bitter

Want Quarters For Firemen

A committee appeared before
the council Monday night and
asked that the building or wood
shed back of the city hall be fitted
up for the fireman, so that couple
of them could sleep there and be
handy in case of fire. The mayor
appointed committee to find out
the probable cost and also ascertain
if the owner would permit Of the
projected alterations. 1t was

We DEMAND A DEPUTY GAME
WARDEN FOR THIS COUNTY

The following resolution was un-
animously passed by the Libby
Chamber of Commerce:
Whereas, Lincoln and Flathead
counties are two of the greatest
wild game counties in Montana,
and nowhere can there be found an
abundance of wild game in a SIM
liar area, and nowhere is there
greater need of protection than in
these two counties.
Whereas, the wild game of Mon
tana is one of its greatest assets
aud its preservation one of the
greatest duties which devolves up
on the state administration. And
such protection as is necessary
should be given while the game
is plentiful, rather than to wait
until it is destroyed and then at
great expense attempt to again
stock the forests and mountains.
Whereas, every possible effort
should be so exerted to protect the
game that instead of it's being de-
stroyed it should be increased, and
money spent for this purpose is
wisely spent.
Whereas, Lincoln and Flathead
counties are among the heavily
timbered and mountainous counties
making game violations easy by
reason of these physical conditions
and the same reasons make it ex-
tremely difficult to properly police
the area comprised in these two
counties. In addition to this the
distances are great from one section
to another and the routes of travel
difficult.
Whereas, under the present
system of game protection these
two counties are now embraced
within the jurisdiction of one dep
uty game warden, laying respon-
sibility upon one official which
practically precludes the state from
getting an adequate protection for
the wild game within this territory.
RESOLVED, by the Libby
Chamber of Commerce that dep
uty game warden be appointed for
each Lincoln and Flathead coun-
ties.
RESOLVED, further, that for
fear the passage of this resolution
may be constructed as reflection
upon Mr.. Frank Ralston, the pre-
sent deputy game warden for these
two counties, that we desire to
publicly express our appreciation
of the services of Mr.. Ralston as a

The Manicure
Lady
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.

kkTT seems to me. George" said the
Manicure Lady, that as jour
ney through life every July
seems hotter than the last July
through which have passed. I am
that near steaming to death right
now that I could go to Greenland's icy
mountains and stay there the rest of
my life. I never chummed with no
Eskimos; but just this minute it
seems to me that they would be the
cutest little playmates. Why is II
that a lot of regular folks like US has
to stay in the city, George, and let
them society people have all the
yachting trips?"
It's too hot for me to dope it out, -
said the Head Barber, who looked
like an overworked stoker. 81 can't
see why there has to be any hot
weather like this at all. The farmers
say that 1t is too hot for crops, and
outside of raising crops what good Is
such a thing as warm weather. /
wish l could just frame it so that l
could go somewhere and find a eli
mate that was about so degrees all

Yes, but then you would get tired
of everything staying the same" said
the Manicure Lady. Brother Will
fred was out to Los Angeles once, and
he said that he got tired of the sun
shining all the time. 1t got on his
nerves so that the poor boy got kind
of balmy, like the climate, and they
found him one morning trying to
make snowballs out of the hot sea
beach sand II was long time before
he forgot that trip to Los Angeles. He
wrote a poem called Eternal Sun
shine that was so good It was reject
ed by three or four of the best mag
azines in America. 1t went some
thing like this:
q love the Spring because it is so
vernal,
But IN some places the sunshine is
eternal.
So, travellers dear, l want to hereby
warn you,
If you love snow, don't go TO Cali
fornia.
I love to watch the mewing seagulls
fly
Across the azure California sky.
But oftentimes | long for skies of
gray.
Instead of seeing sunshine every day
l love the Winter and l love the Fall;
Some snow and rain should come for
one and all.
Until they have four seasons in that
land
I'll not return to that there golden
strand"
"Oh, have a heart" exclaimed the
Head Barber Amt it hot enough
when everything is quiet, without you
spelling that awful dope?"

wall-eyed business man from Herki-

day. You heard him. didn't you,
George, telling all about his act?
Swell costumes for the skirt, and
him doing a neat dance in soft shoes
that was a riot, and both of them
closing with parodies that knocked

He Knew the Difference.

In a small village lived a gentle
man whose name was Peacock, and
his great hobby was the breeding of
turkeys, of which he always kept a
large quantity in a paddock in front
of his house adjoining the roadway,
which was a great attraction to the
public
One day a traveller passing that
way mingled with a little crowd that
was watching their antics, and ask
ed:
Whose turkeys are those?"
A youth replied: They're Pea
cocks"
Traveller: 81 asked whose turkeys
are those?"
Youth answering AGAIN.: They're
PeacoCk's."
Traveller (excited, and boxing the
youths ears): You young fool, do
you think I can't tell peacocks from
turkeys?"

Things Worth Remembering

The latest innovation of fashion is
to be found In smoking jackets for
ladies. The fashion was first started
in New York and very soon reached
England. A woman's smoking jacket,
however, is not the wel-worn, musty
looking, plush garment so dear to a
mans heart. The more elaborate ones
are made of gorgeously embroidered
crepe de chine, silk broche crepe, or
other dainty materials. But there is
a severer type also cut like a mans
plain coat more suitable than any of
the others for smoking room wear.
