the watch to Mr.. Jennings. The negro

he denied that there. was any chat. I
or fob attached. but upon being urged
he at length found the fob and chsi,
which were also returned. He stated
that he had not seen Mr.. jennings

cution.

STOUT WILL QUIT
AT END OF TERM

Congressman Tom Stout of Lewis
town, has decided that he would rather
live in his home town and edit his news
paper than to live in Washington as a
congressman. He announced his pros
pective retirement from congress last
Friday by issuing the following state
ment:
81 have determined not to become a
candidate for reelection. My reasons
are purely personal. My wife and l
would rather live in Montana than
Washington.
montana people have been mighty
good to me and l have attempted to
repay their generosity by devoting my
full time to representing them here at
the nations capitol. If | believed l
am the only person available who could
adequately perform the duties of this
office, would be willing to lay aside
personal considerations and stick with
the job, but there are scores of good
men in Montana who can represent the
interest of the state at Washington
with as much fidelity and doubtless
greater distinction than l.
''My future plans contemplate moth
ing more than going back to Lewis
town, resuming the job as editor of my
newspaper and taking only such part in
public affairs as every good citizen
should deem it his duty to take in the
development and upbuilding of thriv-
ing, progressive community"
Will the Hon. John M. Evans take
the hunch and do likewise?

GLAD HAND AT MIL LWAUkEE

Milwaukee. Feb. 21.-The largest
crowds that have yet turned out to
hear the president on his present tour
faced him as he entered the Auditor
ium here. The three-quarters of a
mile drive from his hotel was between
dense crowds that blocked all side
walk traffic. Although the air was
chill and a raw wind whipped over
the city the president made the trip in
an open car.
Meantime an audience of 5000 had
been waiting, some of them for hours.
The police estimated that 5000 were
turned away.
When the president arrived the
crowd stood and cheered. The band
played "America.' The committee of
800 on the stage started to sing. the
president joining and the big house
caught the air and joined in the
chorus.
Mrs. Wilson occupied box near the
stage with DR.. Grayson. She wore
magnificent bouquet Of orchids.

nlisopprehension in your minds" said

FEW IDLE MEN IN STATE

That Montana will not be confront,
ed with a labor problem the present
winter is indicated in the announce.
ment made at Helena by Chief lmmi-
grafton Inspector l.. II. Plummer that
thus far this month but thirteen appli-
cations for work have been filed with
the federal labor agency, whose head
quarters are in Helena
All last winter an average of 15O
applications month were received
by the federal labor bureau and for a
time it was impossible to supply the
jobs which were so eagerly sought,
This year, however, there are but few
men out of work.
OF the thirteen applications which
have been received this month by the
federal bureau eleven were from men
in Eastern states who are now en-
ployed but who want to come to Mon
tana to locate permanently.
