new PLAN TO
BOOST THE CITY
b. MS. Association To Erect
Guide Posts. Buy 1t In
WdtertOWn."

An official design for guide post to
point the way to WatertOwn was adopt
ed by the Business Mems association at
the regular meeting Tuesday evening.
The sign reads "Buy it in Watertowni
the best place to trade" The word eva
tertown' will be printed in large capi-
tails, the second and middle line of the
printed words on the guide posts, and
big red arrow through the word Water
town. points out the direction to take
to reach the city. On the feather of the
arrow will be shown the distance to
WatertOWn in miles. The letters will
be in black on background of yellow.
1t was decided to use association funds
to place one of these signs every mile
for twelve miles on every road leading
out of Watertown, and the work of Sc
curing and placing the signs was left to
a committee composed of Fred Hoffman,,
W. c. Raue and George Spohn.
The signs will be of sheet steel, and
each Will be provided with an individual
steel post, that it may be placed at the
side of the roadway in a prominent
place. The signs will be nearly four
feet long and about one foot wide. They
will attract the attention not only of
the farmers, out of autOists as well.
W. &. Brandt and E. II. Faber were
named on committee to act with the
Advancement association in factory

attention of the Business Mems assOcia-
tlOn by Herman Wertheimer, president
of the Advancement association.

draw resolutions of coincidence and
sympathy to be submitted to the family

NEWS NOTES.

With only thirteen more days of
the present session, which ends
March 4, Congress is at present in
the worst legislative tangle in it's
history. The continued filibuster
against the Ship Purchase Bill in the
Senate has held up not only that
measure, but all the big supply bills.
An extra session is unavoidable, it is
believed.
An embargo on the eXportaton Of
wheat is urged in a report submitted
to Mayor Mitchell by a committee
headed by G. w. Perkins, which in
vestigated the food situation.
Belgiums case is without parallel
in history, according to the report
of the Rockefeller Foundation Com
mission, which visited the war-torn
country.
The military division of the War
Department issued details of the
plan for recognizing the regular
army and the militia of the various
States into field armies.
The relief commission sent abroad
by the Rockefeller Foundation to in
vestigate the effect of the war on
has reported that
the providing of food for starving
Belgians must be given first atten-
ton, and estimates that $2,000,000
is needed.
The Democratic caucus of the
House at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing committed itself to the Admin
istration Compromise Ship Purchase
Bill, 154 to 20. The Senate ordered
an investigation of alleged infu-
ences at work for the bill and
against it.
Secretary McAdoo denied the in
made in the Senate that

with any of the belligerents for the

the vicinity of Ebenezer on Sunday
morning, Feb. IA, 1915, at the ad-
vanced age of IS years.
Mr.. Sturgis was a widower, his
wife having passed away some years
ago. He was a member of the Bap-
fist Church, and in the days of his
usefulness a man of large influence
and grand character. He was a pa
triarch of the old school and his
biography is contemporaneous with
the history of the county, his life

progress.

II one may Judge Of the prosperity Of
Missoula by the quality of the banquet
which we have all been enjoying this
evening, then, indeed, the echoes OF
the great war do not yet seem to have
reached this particular section of the
country.
Charley Crutchfield used to brag
on Missoula and Hamilton, and the
country intervening, and your present
Chamber of Commerce has sent out
such glowing reports of your delightful
climate and the wonderful fertility of
your farms, that most of us really be-
lieve that down here the sun shines 366
days in the year, and that the signs on
your boarding houses always read, free
board every day the sun doesn't shine.
" But some of your farmers do not
show much judgment when it comes to
writing letters to fat men.
A month or so ago I made up my
mind to buy a small farm somewhere
in western Montana-just nice little
place where I could spend two or three
months in the summer, where l could
go into manual training, as it were, by
cutting down trees, saving logs, split
ting wood, blowing, and doing other
healthful and invigorating work. "

TAKE NOTE OF SMALL THINGS

Alike in the world of nature and
the realm of human conduct, the
things called little count for more in
the sum of good or evil than the
things acknowledged as great. Stat
istics would probably show that the
ravages of gypsy moths, and other
parasites that feed on the products of
garden, field and forest, exceed the
ruin wrought by cyclones and earth
quakes. We are more likely to be
killed by microbes than devoured by
lions. The soldier may be in greater
danger from the neglect of sanitary
precautions than from the bullets of
the enemy. Some people are terrified
at the approach of a thunderstorm,
and do not breathe freely until the
danger is past. Others would rather
forego the pleasure of foreign travel
than brave the perils of an ocean voy-
age. Yet poor ventilation numbers
more victims than the lightning, and
insufficient drainage than the temp
ests that strew the shore With
wrecks-Universalis Leader.
