 s. R. Ethridge returned last night from an extended visit to his daugh- ter, Mrs. w. H. James, at Weleetka, Okla Speaking of the prospects for natural gas service in Conway, MT. Ethridge said this city will certainly be fortunate if such supply can be had. Natural gas had only within the past few weeks been introduced in Weleetka, he stated, and proved to be a great convenience and lux ury as well as most economical fuel. The rate prevailing there is the same as the one proposed here, 25 cents per thousand cubic feet.

A PARABLE

Once upon time there was man sons were both named Jimmie. It is rather unusual to find two chil- dren of the same family bearing the same name, but it must be remarked that these were very unusual chil- dren. They were twins, yes, they were both twins. They were about the twinsiest twins you ever saw. They were so much alike in every way that they could not be told apart. For this reason they were both named Jimmie
 The Jimmies worked for their father, doing odd jobs and soft snaps and always receiving the pick of everything until they became very fat and wealthy and badly spoiled. In fact they had been fla vored so long that like other spoiled children they considered that every thing in the house and about the place belonged to them. So strong ly were they impressed with this idea that whenever the father had any favOrs to bestow the Jimmies immediately began to quarrel and fight, each one contending that he deserved the biggest piece of pie.
 The next son was named Roy. Roy came into the world during a period of luxury and plenty, when his father was able to provide for him in fine style. Roy was a kind of darling" of the family. He was exceedingly handsome and his soft white hands were never allowed to do any work. During the first 21 years of his life he was sent to school continuously through the week and kept in a nice neat band box on Saturday and Sunday. He was always dressed in the height of fashion and was noted for his sweet disposition. The only thing that
The log cabin Democrat., 1916-03-02

ruf1led his temper was when the boys would get his tag and call him Miss Nancy"
 The fourth son was John, just plain old John. John came into the world during period of poverty and strife. The father had spent all of his substance on the twins" and the 'pet." There was nothing left for John but hard knocks and hard work. He had to work on the farm, where he peddded garden vegetables, split the kindling, and stopped the pigs. John had to work for his own education, while he was laboring to support eleven orphan children So many hardships did John have to undergo and so many of the good things of life had his three broth CTS received that the neighbors be- came very indignant. They gath cred in from all sides and told the father that they would not stand for any more mistreatment of John and that he would have to put the Jim mics and Roy to work and let John have a chance. The father was a fair-minded citizen after all and he said that he would fix time for de- ciding the matter. He promised that he would call in the neighbors and let them vote on the question and say just which one of his sons they considered the most deserving.
 For this purpose March 29, 1916, was chosen. This circular is just to remind you that you have an invita- tion to be present on that day and help fix things right for John. As one of the neighbors, it is in your power to do lot for John and if you will only take the trouble to look up Johns record in his home cOmmuni- ty, you will find that he is the kind that will appreciate what you do for him. What will your answer be?

War Puts Up All Manufactures From
200 to GEO Per Cent.
Twenty dollars for pair OF shoes.
80 cents for cigar OF the lowest
grndc-these are samples OF the ad-
vance In prices in Russla since the war
began. according to ]. L. Steurwald,
who has Just returned from that coun-
try, where he went as representative
OF large American automobile con
Germ.
"of course Mi the larger Russian
cities ARE under military restrictions
concerning the supply OF food" said
Mr.. Steurwald. "One Is allowed to
haze meat three days weck-Satur-
days. Sundays and Mondays.
Everything has advanced from 200
per cent to COO per cent la price since
the war began. Not only does this mp
ply TO foodstuffs. but 1t also affects
clothing, tobacco and many other
things. For instance. you pay 10 ru-
blcs about 500 for pair OF shoes,
and they nrc very poor ones even at
that price. Cigars cost from ruble
up. Pipe tobacco is very high, ten
cent can OF smoking tobacco costing
at the very minimum . rubles ana 40
kopccks about S1.40l The reason for
all OF these high prices revcrts back
directly to the matter OF transportn-
ton, as Russia has plenty o: food and
grain, but no way OF transporting
them"
