their money in grand ball, was con.

of the Lewistown Typographical union.
| No. $50. Billy" has heart in him as
big as the Moccasin mountains and "a
will-power that will brook of no bend
ing. When the plan was proposed to
his fellow workmen of the local union
they easily fell under the sway of his
eloquerce. For many days past every.
body In Lewistown who looked like an
iron man" has been importuned to buy
ticket and the handsome sum turned
over to- the Associated Charities, to
be used judciously in relieving dis
tress among the so odd families in this
city, is IA 4spWing testimonial Of the
hustling ability of the printers.
Every detail necessary in making
the ball the grand social success it
proved to be, was placed in competent
hands and those who enjoyed the oc-
casion will long remember BILLY" and
his co-workers.
1t is just as natural for the old-time
printer to think of the poor as it is for
hungry man to think of something
to eat.
If he has been a good printer, he
has travelled from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and from the Great Lakes to
the Gulf of Mexico. "See America
First has been his slogan and in do
ing it he has seen it more thoroughly
than millionaire could have done,
because he saw most of it on foot or
from the top of boxcar
He knows what it is to be hungry,
ragged and footsore - the old-time
printer does-and his heart bleeds for
one who suffers for the necessities
and comforts of life. The present gen.
Grafton of printers are of different
class. They are not possessed of that
wanderlust that carried the old-timer
away from home and dear ones. The
modern printer is plutocrat or fast
becoming one. He is strong for the
fireside and the fat bank account.
BILLY" is a well-known printer and an
artist OF recognized ability, from one
end of the country to the other. So, II
was an easy matter for him to per-
suade the members that something
should be done for the poor that would
reflect credit upon the local Typo
graphical union in the doing. They
admirably accomplished both.
The proceeds of the grand ball
will be turned over to l.. ID. Blod-
gett, president, and Mrs George J.
Wiedeman, treasurer of the visiting
committee of the Associated Charities,

PRINTERS BALL A BIG SUCCESS

A function of unparalleled success
and brilliancy was the Charity ball
given by Lewistown Typographical
union No. $50 at Armory hall Monday
evening. 1t was noteworthy fact
that the invitation extended by the
printers of this city received res.
ponse of hearty ferver from citizens
representative of every path of the
city's social and community life, fully
500 being present as spectators and
participants of the dance.
1t must be affirmed by all who at
tended Monday evening, that Arm
ory hall never presented more hand
some spectacle of beauty, and as a
background for so momentuous an oc-
casion, studied effects of light and
color We're never more worthy. Red
and green, the colors of the local. pre-
dominated in glowing and resplendent
design, distinguished by the rich hues
OF the American flag. At one end of
the hall the orchestra balcony was
half hidden behind canopy of scar
let ribbons, and directly opposite,
glorifled behind lights of many tints,
and wreathed with Christmas holly,
Judith gazed with an approving
smile upon the scene before her.
Ropes of holly leaves and branches
Of green banked the walls. Promi-
nently aloft, where all could see beam
ed the yellow rays of crescent moon,
and just across, fittingly significant,
the union label of Lewistown. Over
the whole scene the lights glowed
softly under flower shades of scarlet
tissue. The approach to the ball was
also transformed with evergreen and
bunting which heightened the effect of
festive splendor.
Members of the Lewistown Typo
graphical union, the mayor and alder
men OF the city, and Mrs. G. ]. Wiede-
man and Mrs. E. X. Cheadle, officers
of the Associated Charities, acted as
reception committee. and at the door
each guest was given a program and
book OF handsome postcard pictures
OF the Union Printers home at Colo
RADIO Springs as a souvenir.
At $3.50 o'clock Mayor w. d. Symmes
and Mrs. Harry Lay took their places
and the line for the grand march was
formed. Mr.. Lay with Mrs. Symmes
and the members of the city council
with their ladies followed, then the
other guests, and the elaborate figures
of the grand march, directed by Mr..
Joel Steiner, was an impressive spec
tacle. Following the grand march,
dancing began in earnest, and it was
a late hour when the dancers reluc-
family accepted the strains of aloha
Oe." Punch was served during the
evening which was at once refreshing
and delicious.

THAT P|P|N|CH
MYSTERY AGAIN

UP AND WALTER PIPINICH
is HELD AS WITNESS,
SUITS IN THE DISTRICT COURT

The grand jury has again been in
vestlgatlng the death of the little son
or Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Pipinich, who was
killed under peculiar circumstances
about two and half years ago at the
Plplnich place up Spring creek. At
the time of the inquest and hearing
the theory advanced first was that
the child had been killed by vicious
COW, but when the testimony was
given this seemed untenable. Some
arrests were made and eventually sus-
picion attached to Walter Pipinich.
an elder brother Of the deceased,
whose intelligence was somewhat un-
der normal Nothing came of the in
vestigations, but it was continued
thereafter under William Woods, who
was then sheriff. Two years ego the
grand jury took the matter up again
and went into it thoroughly, but could
not secure any important additional
information and nothing was done.
Joe Pipinich and his son Walter, as
well as others, have been before the
inquisitors during this session and
yesterday Walter was placed in the
county Jail, being held as a witness
The Jail register, which is the basis
of this information, does not record
any charge against the boy further
than stated.

LONDON, Dec. 29.---l1:51 p. m. y
The following explanation of the cabi.

furnished by the Press association:
1T has been generally expected that
Premier Asquith's pledge to married
men would be carried out in letter
and spirit, but the view Is held in some
quarters that n further chance for sim
gle men to enroll would not be incon-
sistent with the fulfillment OF that
pledge,
"The premier himself rejected this
Interpretation OF his words and in
formed the cabinet that resort to com
pulsion was called for in his opinion.
not only to carry through an honorable
obligation, but also to provide steady
flow of reinlorcements for the various
battle fronts.
"On the question OF compulsory serv-
ice for single men, with relegtions to
later groups of men engaged In re-
served occupations, there Is no DIFF
ference in principle within the cabinet.
Until the details OF the procedure are
definitely settled there is no eXpecta-
tion of personal changes In the admin
istration. II Is recognized, however,
that to pass at the present stage from
the well defined case OF single men
and to set up "A general obligation to
military service on the part of the
adult population, would introduce diff
tiCultics.
''In matter which touches so many
ingrained prejudicies the government
may be expected to move warily. The
ministers must be prepared for some
opposition to their proposals, however
limited in form.
"lt Is undoubted that the govern
ment will carry majority OF the house
of commons with them for any reason
able scheme and anything like organ
ized obstruction Is unthinkable. For
the smooth passage of the bill, 1t is
possible the measure will not apply to
Ireland
"The case of Ireland Is exceptional,
since registration there has been only
carried out in partial manner and
there has been no attestaton there
under the Derby system
"The cabinet will do its utmost to
meet all objections and secure meas
nre Of general agreement, which the
premier declares essential"
