WHAT DOES 1T MEAN? :


The Courier has received a most
peculiar circular letter purporting. ta

the proposal to initiate a license >tsx

The. sensational change is made

hibition campaign secretly started the
movement. for the license tax as .

pany. to force the latter to get in
the game to beat both prohibition and
the license tax. > :
If this peculiar circular had been
sent out by the Anaconda Copper
company it would not be. so perpelx-
ing. That company has unusual IA
cilities for getting "inside dope" on
Montana political movements. It
would also have an understandable
motive for, seeking to cast .odium on
the proposed license tax law. -
The surprising fact is that the cir
cular was sent out by Rev. Joseph
Pope, chairman Of the prohibition or
ganization in Montana. Just why
the prohibition organzaton should wish
to discredit the license tax law is
quite beyond our comprehension; un-
less, Of course; some understanding
has been had between the Anaconda
company and. the prohibition leaders,
for offensive. and defensive purposes
It's a queer affair, this sensational
political circular: Does it mean =

Save Your Old Clothes

May has been set as Bundle day by the Associated
Charities Everybody is asked TO save up all discarded
clothing until then-esPeciay all winter clothing and
undertaking that will not be used again. Clothing is
wanted for men and women boys and girls, little chill
den and babes The reason for asking for winter cloth
ING is this The Associated Charities will carefully clean
and repair such garments, and will store them away
safely until next winter when the demand will again
grow large In winter the call for clothing among
the poor is always impossible to satisfy.
Last winter good deal of money was spent by the
Charities for clothing money that could have been
out TO other uses if there had been castoff clothing
on hand in sufficient quantity.
The principle of preparedness is now to be applied
and stock will be accumulated against next winter
in the way described
Now is the season when people going over their
winter clothes and putting them away for the summer
lot of stuff is found to be unfit to save but it would
be of use to the Charities if mended and cleaned All
this material should be put aside in bundles On May
2 committees of women with automobiles will cover
every street in the city and collect these bundles for
the Charities.
1t is only little thing to ask each person to do,
but in the aggregate it relief to hundreds per
haps thousands of needy persons.
