from Fairgrounds work was expressed
by the Commissioners and officials and
employees of the Fairgrounds office,
among whom she was universally pop
ular Her work as director of the IN
dustrial department reflected great
ability, and she is regarded as one or
the most capable experts in this line
that Americas Fairgrounds have pro-
duced. 1t was due principally to MISS
Roper's initiative and efforts that the
Fairgrounds department was able to
stage mammoth pageants on the oc-
casion of Fourth of July and other
celebrations.
Miss Roper's retirement is expected
to be followed by Il number of promo
tions in the department. These are un-
derstood to have been practically de-
termined upon. but probably will not
be made public until the appointment
of a Fairgrounds supervisor, to sue
ceed f. S. Martin. The Commissioners
have requested Miss Roper not to re-
linaush her duties until after the new
supervisor has had opportunity to

Proposed Resolutions.

That we recommend to Congress the
passage of law authorizing the gov
ernment to take over the manufacture
and sale Of all instruments and muni-
tions of war and that we further
recommend the speedy passage Of 4
law comforting upon the President the
right to issue an embargo upon all
contraband.'
The position of the grangers, who
represent about a million people. is that
to stop the munitions supplies at this
time would be a direct violation of
neutrality because it would aid Ger
many. If these shipments had been
stopped before the war, they argued,
then that would have been all right,
but to stop it now would be a direct
violation of neutrality.
The prospects are for a protracted
discussion when the meeting is re-
sumed today. for the grangers admit
that they will take firm stand against
railroading through any resolutions
placing them on record as favofing GER
tain matters to which the grangers as
a whole are opposed.

$50 just as though it was her money.
Blanche and her friend, Mrs. ]. Ad-
Ter, were living at South Main street
hotel. Blanche was getting low on
funds and she touched the wires to a
friend in Great Falls requesting him
to send her S. by telegraph.
Imagine how the eyes of Miss Beers

the ends of her fingers felt as eight
crisp new $40 bills were handed her

as Blanche and her friend had not had
