Odd FeLLoUs'
Open House

What many describe as the
grandest time they have evel
enjoyed in Cut Bank was
pulled off Friday night in the
Oddfellows' Hall. The program
consisted of recitations, songs,
speeches and recreative games.
T. B. Bomboy acted the part OF
mine host to the large company
present. He was toast master.
roast master and floor-manager
combined. He called on Rev.
Alexander Pringle who gave
the statistics of the order in the
United States and Montana,
which were stimulating, indeed,
to the pulse of the loyal Odd
fellow. Nearly ninteen million
dollars, last year, was raised
and expended by the Odd
fellows lodges of the country
There are fifty homes for ole
Oddfellows in the United States,
and the increase in the number
of new lodges organized was
larger proportionately during
the past year than during any
year in the history of the order,
which has now passed it's nine
seventh birthday in the
United States.
Dorothea Halvorson was then
introduced and gave a recitation
on the "Grouchy at Home and
Pleasant Abroad" type of hub
by that brought down the
house. DR.. Gold Of Browning
was then called upon for a
speech that kept the audience
in good humor, with stories and
sage advice, together with an
eulogy on the spirit and progress
of Odd Fellowship. DR.. Gold is
we'll known here and his many
friends heard him gladly, as
they are always ready to do.
After the literary part of the
program and many congratula-
tory remarks by members of
the Order supper was an
nounced by the ladies and a
good social time had around the
festive board. in a feast Of
reason and a flow of soul. The
next stage of the evenings en-
tertainment was the recreative
part which was simply beyond
description. Shorty" Hull took
the prize as sure shot at the
mouth-trap, while many others
excelled at various stunts. The
party broke up in the wee sma'
hours after singing Aud Lang
lSyne. Altogether it was a
social event any community
might be proud Of.

Fake Rural
Credit Schemes

1 The department has recently
received letters from a number
OF farmers who have subscribed
for stock in rural credit COM
panies. including so-called CO.
operative companies, which ap-
pear to have no real cooperative
features.
In some Of these letters the
complaint is made that the
agents selling the stock make
Misrepresentation as to when
.oanS may be obtained by sub
scribers and that the companies
later disclaim responsibility for
statements made by the agents.
II number of instances, farm
ers seem to have gained the
dea from the agent that they
would be able to secure loans
within a relatively short time,
and express disappointment on
eallz.ng that they must wait
for an indefinite period tor the
promised loan and 60 on MAX
ing payments just the same on
The stock which they have
agreed to take.
Where farmers are confronted
with proposition of this char
acter they should first read the
prospectus and the contract
very carefully and make sure
hat they know exactly what
these mean, especially the con-
tract. If the contract is so
worded that it's meaning is not
clear after a careful reading,
this in itself should be reason
enough for extra caution. The
agentYexplanation of the con-
tract is not part of the con-
tract, nor is his promise that
the company will do things not
specified in the contract by any
means sure to be recognized by
the company.
Farmers ought, first, to find
out what provision has been
made for the protection of the
interests of subscribers, either
through responsible government
supervision over the activities
of the company, or in any other
way, and if they are in doubt
they should consult competent
advisors with regard to the
responsibility of the company
before paying over, or agreeing
to pay over, their own good
money. Always in the matter
of subscription to stock in any
Kind of a company, they should
exercise caution.-F. S. Cooley

Brouning


Crerar, Whistler and Perrine went
to Choteau to attend a good roads
convention of some sort, and came
home very much the result of bad
! road in the county seat neighbor-
hood. Mr.. Perrine, we understand,
had tooth broken off, while Mr..
McFatridge's friends hardly recog-
nized their old neighbor. The mis-
hap took place at a poorly built
culvert. And yet we pay road-tax
to fix just such places. What be-
comes of the road-tax, anyway?
l have decided not TO buy that
Packard until the roads are fixed.
My old bay team is good enough
for me. Timeo Danaos!
The Hamilton delegation came
back from Washington Saturday,
claiming that the Walsh bill now
up in the Senate was a compromise
secured by them after a tremendous
fight. So the present bill is a glo.
rious victory for the Hamilton dele
tion, and also a triumph for the op-
position faction. Good! Victory
all round! Now we will have a peace
within our tribal borders such as
would warm the hearls of Carnegie,
Bryan and Henry Ford. Hooray!
Rev. DR.. Gold attended lodge al
Cut Bank Friday night.
Several of the employees of the
Indian school were up to the picture

Some of the stockmen have re-
turned from the south with import
ed cattle. New blood is a good
thing, when the old has become im-
poverished. 1t is the mixture in
the American that has placed him
ahead of all other nations. That is
why we scrap" inefficient methods
so quickly.

Many of our people have been

thing of the past.

Mr.. Selecman has made a fire

Do we stop often enough to consider
how much we owe to the schoo

we owe to the school board?

OCTOBER RAINFALL

The October rainfall as noted at the Williams station was 5.26 in ches. The total rainfall since the middle of July was over l5 inches. If to this rainfall the snow of last winter, reduced to moisture precip- tation. be added, the result would be quite moisture enough to take Arizona out of the arid category. The rain and snow fall was enough to make all sorts of crops and when Arizona farming shall have been adapted to Arizona climatic con- ditions, Arizona agriculture will be established on a safe and paying basis.

Bring Red Lake 5 Mills Nearer

Red Lake people have plan to shorten the distance to Williams by 5 miles, The distance now IS IA miles and, if the Red Lake plans can be carried out, the distance will be shortened to 9 miles. The route to be adopted will have to be determined by at least careful re- connoissance and probably by a survey by the county engineer, but 1t will go north easterly from Will Iiams to the right of the first butte northeast of Town and then around the butte and past to the right the next butte north and then over a comparatively smooth country 1n- to Red Lake valley, or the road may pass between the two buttes, leaving the Canyon road to the north of the last Cataract crossing and then around the second butte into Red Lake valley and so on to Red Lake settlement.
 There is no considerable difficult ties in the way of the construction of a good road on either of the lines to be considered. Most of the road can be put up with a road grader at trifiing expense. It has been roughly estimated that $1 ,0O0 will pay for the work. Red Lake people have conditional promise of an appropriation by the county Supervisors and they feel quite confident that the road bring ing them 5 miles nearer to market will be constructed within the next twelve months.

Paste for CIeaninu.

Here is something that all house. wives do not know: To one pint of boiling water add one and one-half ounces of pure white soap cut into shavings; boil for ten minutes after the soap is thoroughly dissolved. Cool in a china or glass dish. If put into glass jar and covered tightly it will last two weeks. This paste will cleanse kid gloves and satin slippers, remove spots from woolen goods, and fresh ink stains from carpets. It should be always at hand in the kitchen. To re- move paint from clothing saturate the spots two or three times with equal parts of ammonia and turpentine and then wash out in white soapsuds.

Washinu Shirt Waists,

When washing shirt waists or mid dies which have colored collar and cuffs, the color will sometimes run into the white goods. To remove this stain place the article in very sour butter milk for four, to five days, keeping the goods well under the milk. The color will disappear. from the white goods and the colored collar and cuffs will remain as before. I have tried this in a number of cases of different articles and find it entirely satisfactory.- York Press.

G00DMEAT DISHES
NONE OF THEM EXPENSIVE BUT
 ALL ARE .APPETIZiNG.
Good for the Luncheon or Dinner Menu and a Pleasing Change From
 the Round of Steaks, Chops or Boasts.

Rabbit Pie.-After boning the, rab- ter to cover, into a stewpan, together with a large onion, bunch of mixed herbs and. nutmeg, salt and pepper to season, and simmer for an hour. Ar range the rabbit meat in layers in a large pie dish, placing a little fat bacon cut in strips and the yolks of two hard-boiled eggs in between. Strain over the gravy from the bones. Cover with good pastry and bake for an hour and a half.
 Beef and Potato Pie.-The ingredi- ents required are one pound of beef steak, one large onion, two and a half pounds of potatoes, salt to taste. Cut the meat into small pieces, also the onion. Put it to stew for about two hours, then add the potatoes, which have been cut into pieces about the same size as the beef. Cover over with a pie crust made from half a pound of flour, a quarter of a pound of lard and half a teaspoonful of bak- ing powder. About forty minutes should be, allowed for the baking of the pie. s
 Beef and Tomato Pie.-Slices of cold beef should be arranged in a pie dish with layers of thickly sliced to- matoeS and onions, then add season ing. Continue the layers till the dish is full; add sufficient gravy to moisten the whole, cover with parboiled pota- toes cut in slices and bake in a mod crate oven for one hour.
 Cheese and Potato Pe.-This is an unusual dish, but will be found savOry.
