BIRTH OF A YEAR OF WHAT,

With the birth of the year the
question will naturally arise, "What
will it bring us?"
Will it be peace, or war? Will il
be plenty, or want?
No human being can answer that
question today, though some may
make a ludicrous bluff at doing so.
At no time in the life Of the pres
ent generation has the birth of a
new year been fraught with SO much
uncertainty with regard to the world
in general and our own country in
particular.
We all hope and pray that the war
may end and that the world may re-
turn to some semblance of sanity
and commercial stability. But there
is no certainty-Only an intense
longing for something that is not
We are pinning our faith to the
ability of our country to keep free
from foreign entanglements, but
again there is no certainty-only an
abiding faith that may be founded
upon the phantasies of our dreams.
We are looking and longing for
the day to come when men will cease
to butcher one another and return
to the more humanizing pursuits of
peaceful life. But our longing re-
suits only in more looking and long
ing. There is no peace.
We anticipate year of great COM
mercial prosperity for the people OF
our own country. and it will be
theirs if no unforeseen combination
of incidents overturn the tranquil
ity of the nation. But in this, too,
there is an eff" and the if is not OF
our making.
We are promised a year of unex-
ampled activity among the factories
and the fields, and in all of the
marts of trade. but much of it will
depend upon the actions of other
nations than ours. And we are to-
day a government and a people with
out friends among other peoples of
the earth.
We have grown and expanded and
developed until we are the richest
of all the countries of the world, and
yet our great wealth is today an ac
tual menace to our peace and secur-
ity of the future for the nation that
is hungry for gold will not be choice
in it's mode of attack when the time
for invasion comes.
But let us face the future with
optimism and with faith, with eyes
open to every essential fact, and
with firm determination to pre-
serve and to conquer in the face
of all obstacles.
Let us dare to be just and right
in our dealings with nations and
with individuals, and when SANITY
returns to the world we will reap
as we have sOwn.
Let us put our houses in order by
placing the country in state of de-
| Tense sufficient to insure us from
attack from without, and then let us
give the world to understand that
we are just and righteous people
that we seek to do harm to no man
or collection of men, and that we
have nothing in our hearts but good
will toward all people.
The new year will bring us some
thing, but what that something is
to be will depend greatly upon the
course we ourselves pursue.
Never in the history of our coun
try has it been put more plainly and
emphatically and squarely up to us

PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY
ELECTION APRIL Fl

With the presidential primary
election coming on April Fl, polite
ians are trying to figure out what
the iniative act means which pro-
vides for the expression by the peo-
pie of the state of their preference
for party candidates for president
and vice president of the United
States, the election of delegates to
presidential conventions and the
nomination of presidential electors
by direct vote.
While the measure undoubtedly
gives the public an opportunity of
expressing it's party preference for
president, it does not give the voters
an opportunity for choice of the
delegates to national conventions,
nor the presidential electors.
A One-eighth Vote.
For instance, Montana is entitled
to eight delegates at both the forth
coming Republican and Democratic
conventions. Voters, however, can
cast their ballot for only one The
law provides: every qualified voter
shall have the right at such nomi
mating election to vote for the cleo
ton of one person, and no more, to
the office of national delegate for his
party, and to vote for the nomina
ton of one aspirant, and no more.
for the office of presidential elector
as the candidate of his party"
The eight candidates receiving
the highest number of votes will be
selected.
Nominating petitions of candi-
dates for national delegates must
| bear the SIGNATURES Of at least One
per cent of of the party vote in the
state at the last preceding election
for representative In congress. How
are required in any event.
Every political party is empower
ed by the act to nominate as many
candidates for the Office of presiden-
tial elector as there are such officers
to be elected.
Presidential Preferences.
Voters can write in blank spaces
provided on the ballot, their pref
erence for president or vice presi-
dent, or they can put a cross be-
fore the printed names of the per-
sons of their choice. 1.-THE names OF
any persons" reads the act, "shall
be so printed on said ballots solely
on the petition of their personal sup
porters in Montana without said per-
sons themselves signing any petition
or acceptance.

ventions are REQUIRED to subscribe

pl ohibition becomes effective in
those states and the stocks of liquor
within their borders will be shipped

also the importation of the liquor

len Stick Island.

In the Southwest bay, in the New
Hebrides group, there is small wood
ed island of considerable height above
the sea. although only a few hundred
yards in circumference. The story Of
its acquisition is curious one. South.
west bay used to be considered good
place for target practice by the British
men of war on patrol duty there, and
this small inlet was used as target
so frequently that it seemed in danger
of being gradually shot away. The
chief who owned it protested and
wanted compensation. The captain of
a man-of-war who understood the pa
tives knew that these claims would be
a ceaseless source Of blackmail unless
they were settled once for all, so he
bought the island for the British
crown. paying ten sticks of tobacco for
it, and every one was satisfied. The
place since then has been known as
"Ten Stick island. "-London Standard

set fire to Chatham and burned some
ships of the line This created the
greatest CONSERVATION in London, espe.
cially among those who had intruSted
their money to the bankers, for it was
known that the latter had advanced
large sums to the king for public pur
poses. and it was rumored that now
the king would not be able to pay the
money. To quell the panic a royal
proclamation was issued to the effect
that payments by the exchequer to the
bankers would be made, as usual.
In 1911 there was another run on the
London banks. when Charles II. shut
up the exchequer and refused to pay
the bankers either principal or inter
est of the money which they had ad-
vanced. On this occasion many of the
banks and their customers were
ruined.-London Standard.

Memorial to Miss GOwen.

A very beautiful tribute was paid to
the memory of Louise Crosby Gowen,
at the morning service last Sunday at
the Church of the Holy Comforter.
The members of the, Chancel Guild,
of which Miss Gowen was a member,
decorated the interior with a wealth
of flowers to be fond in such pro-
fusion in this land of sunshine and
flowers. The altar vases were filled
with stately white American Beauty
roses which seemed to radiate the SOL
emn purpose for which they were
there. The Litany desk, organ and
the Rector's desk were banked with
white Japonicas and Star Jessamine,
The font was placed to the left of the
door and was completely covered with
violets and green. The seating ca
pacity of the church was taxed to its
limit, and 1t was necessary to place
chairs in the aisle to accommodate late
corners.
The usual form for morning service
was used and in addition the common
datory prayer was read, as a suppli-
cation to the great white throne for
the dear one who had just passed
away, and for the comfort of those
who are left to mourn her loss. Dur
ing the sermon the Rev. Mr.. Taylor
made especial reference to her in
whose memory these sacred services
were held. The hymns were all ap-
propriate for sIch an occasion and
during the offertory Mrs. C. P. Hale
sang "The Better Land"
Miss Gowen was a great favorite
with the young people and their at
tendance at these services in large
numbers was evidence of their sin
cere sympathy with Mr.. and Mrs.
Gowen who have suffered such a ter
rible loss.-Com.

church, and one of the ablest men in
that denomination in the south,
preached at Gainesville last. Sunday
and the Gainesville Sun, noting his
visit, says of him: CDR. C. V. Waugh,
who for some time has been indenti-

sonville, came here the latter part of
last week on visit to his brother,
City Clerk and Treasurer Jos. E.

First Baptist Church Sunday, being
greeted by large congregations at both
the morning and evening service. DR..
Waugh was the second pastor who
served the old First BaItist Church,
when it was located on the corner of
West Main and Masonic streets, but
as this was nearly two decades ago,
he finds but few of his old flock here
now. His discourses Sunday were
listened to with close attention, and

ed afterward, many remarking that
they were among the most interesting
sermons they have heard in years"

Girls With Beautiful Faces OF.
Graceful Figures.

American girls have a worldwide
reputation for beauty, but, at the
same time, there are girls in our

the result of disorders of the woman
ly organism. At regular intervals
they suffer so much that their
strength leaves them; they are so
Frustrated that it takes days for
them to recover their strength. OF
course, such periodic distress has it's
bad effect on the nervous system The
withered and drawn faces, the dark
circles and crows feet about the
eyes, the straight figure without
those curves which lend so much to
feminine beauty are the unmistakable
signs of womanly disorders. (
When a girl becomes a woman,
when woman becomes a mother,
when women pass through the chan
ges Of middle life, are the three per-
iods of life when health and strength
are most needed to withstand the
