The management of the Jefferson this
year has spared no pains in preparations
to entertain the patrons of the house.
The theatre, as is customary, has been
renovated from cellar to fly loft and has
been entirely redecorated. The result is
thing of beauty and the thousands who
attend the Jefferson this year Will md
plenty on which to feast the eyes besides
the stage.
MANY INNOVATIONS
An innovation that will be seen in no
theatre outside of New York has been
launched this season in that all attaches

it is not necessary to say much. AL G.
Fields has endeared himself to the hearts
of thousands. 1t has long since been rec
ognized as an axiom that although the
public likes to cry it will remember and
love those who have made it laugh. This,
Fields has done. Year after year he has
turned out a minstrel performance en-
tirely new and always entertaining. 1t
has been easy for Mr.. Fields to do this
because of his own whimsical nature that
has won him as many laughs off the
stage as on.

DRUGGISTS SECURE
STOCKS OF OLSONITE

In spite of the shortage of drugs
and chemicals, local druggists have
been able to secure stocks of olsonite
and you need not go without this sci
entific color restorer for rugs and car
pets. Since olsonite was announced
in the Ladies' Home Journal, Wo-
mans Home Companion, Pictorial re-
view and other leading women's pub
locations, the demand is increasing.
Olsouite does such wonderful
work and is so easy to use that it
made an instantaneous hit All you
do is brush it over the surface of the
carpet and rugs while they are on the
floor, then wipe off and the colors are
restored to their natural beauty and
brightness. 1t also preserves the fl
bres and raises the nap. 1t is said
that it will double the life of rugs
and carpets and keep them bright and
fresh looking until worn threadbare.
'Olsonite is sold in air-tight contain
ers at soc each. sufficient to restore
coaors to rugs or carpets in two or
binary rooms.-Ady.

tai vote of these counties on the ques-
ton of suffrage was 39,513, while
the total vote of the state on this
question was 1885, giving the east
ern section slight majority.
While the transfer of supremacy
in voting strength to the eastern Sec
ton of the state is interesting, it is
of little Importance for, as the years
pass, less and less attention is paid
to sections and, as the state has
grown in population, wealth and i'm
portance, the whole state has grown
closer together. The people of all
parts of the state realize that their
interests are Identical. Neither in
conventions nor in legislative sessions
is there now the disposition to work
for one section as against other sec
tions that was manifesto a number OF
years ago-Anaconda Standard.

MONTANA'S VOTING STRENGTH.

After the election of year ago last
fall the Anaconda Standard called at
tention to the fact, shown in the elec-
tion returns, that for the first time
the vote of that section of the state
usually called eastern Montana, was
larger than that cast in the part of
the state which has usually been
classed as western Montana. Lately
some of the eastern Montana news
papers have been commenting on the
fact that the supremacy in population
has passed to the eastern part Of the
state, which has been settling rapidly
in recent years and comparatively has
increased faster than the western
section The Big Timber Pioneer
publishes an interesting table of fig
ures showing that the eastern sec
tion is now superior in population, in
number of school children and in vot-
ing strength. In the state depart
ment's report of the total number
of school children in Montana it ap-
pears that 79,O61 reside in the east
ern part of the state and 57,661 in
the western part. Multiplying the
number of school children by four
and one-fourth, the multiple given by
the state department for computing
the population of the state, as based
on the school census, and the results
shows that the population of the
eastern portion of the state is $751;
755 as against a population of 205,-
SIT in the western esction.
These figures emphasize tendency
which was already apparent at the
: election in the fall of 1914. At thai
: election more votes were cast in tn.
eastern than in the western section o1
the state for the first time in tn,
states history. At that election tn,
superior voting strength of the east
ern section was very slight, but it will
probably be greater at the next elec
e ton. The counties usually classe
as of eastern Montana are Gallatir

: Yellowstone Musselshell, Big Horr

BOTTOM HAS NOT DROPPED OUT

The latest bulletin issued by the
bureau of labor statistics at Washing
ton shows clearly that the high cost
of living which the Baltimore plat
from, adopted in 1912, declared to be
"a serious problem in every American
home," is as serious now as then,
says the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The platform on which Mr.. Wilson
stood and was elected, insisted that
the republican party was attempting
to escape from its responsibility for
high prices by denying that they are
due to protective tariff. We take
issue with them on this subject" it
continued. "and charge that the ex-
cessive prices result in large meas
ure from the high tariff laws enact
ed and maintained by the republican
party"
While great majority of the vot-
ers did not think so, and voted against
Mr.. Wilson. and the theory of his
platform, their vote was so divided
that he and a democratic majority ir
both houses of congress were put ir
office. They Immediately proceeded
to make as sweeping reductions il
tariff duties as if the country ha(
given them direct mandate. Will,
this work was in progress, peopl,
were being assured that the bottoms
would drop out when the new tariff
law became effective. The bottom
Of many things did, in fact, drop Out

the loss from fire is still far greater
than it should be. The great work of
education must still go on. It is esti-
mated that 80 per cent of the fires
in the United States each year are
due to carelessness and could be pre-
vented by reasonable precaution. It
