Stevensville Election.

Stevensville. April S.--(Special.) y
Sandy VanVliet, Harry Raymond and
c. L. Adams were elected trustees Of
the Stevensville school district in the
election held yesterday. and with Mrs.
Charles H. Buck and ]. V. Burnett, the
holdover members. will constitute the
Stevensville school board.
The vote was large, 333 being cast
during the afternoon, and they We're
divided as follows: S. r. VanVliet.
$50; Harry Raymond, 17o; c. l..
Adams, 175; T. C. Medcalfe, 147; Day.
ton Lockridge, AS; John Emhoff, 145.
The school election in Stevensville is
nearly always an interesting event as
there are two factions, one opposing
the present superin tendent of schools,
]. +. Sharp, and the other standing for
him. At the January meeting of the
school board the superintendent was
notified that his services would not be
required after the present term OF
school. 1t is understood that the three
candidates defeated at yesterdays
election were not favorable to the
present superintendent, and the thre,
candidates elected have not gone on
record as favoring him. However, tn,
new board will be the one to make III,
selection Of a superintendent.

The idea is very simple. When Mrs.
Housewife goes into a store to make
a minor purchase, the man behind the
counter informs her she can't have
any of this unless she will buy some
of that.
The tobaeconists here We're the first
to adopt the idea. No matches were
sold to customers who did not buy to-

a jump behind--no sugar unless gro

got tho beef unless a bone was

old berths slipping from their grasp.
decided to declare the factory on
strike, but the workmen, inspired by
the appeals Of the new government for
their support. refused to walk out. On
the contrary. they insisted the FORE
man directing the engineers should be-
gin work with them at daybreak and
put in an equal number of hours.
Every hour is prcscious," said the
spokesman Of the workers. I'VE must
work to support our comrades at the
front. Every man who goes on strike
viii be treated as a traitor, and We
viii not guarantee his safety"
a patriotic spirit appears to have
gIipped the workmen quite generally,
in strong contrast to their attitude
toward the former regime. one group
has given assurances that if necessary.
the men will work 16 hours daily
At meeting OF engineers. however,
a more pessimistic view was ex-
pressed. Many complaints were lodged
that workmen had insisted on die
,atng terms OF hours shnd conditions
One Of the chief sources Of protest is
the insistence of the workmen that
they Gust uncongenial administrators
and replace them with men from their
own ranks. The appointment of an
arbitration board, formerly demanded
by the workmen. is now desired by
the bosses, but declined by the work
men.
Delegates have been chosen by the
engineers. who hope to arrange annie
able relations through the Council OF
Workmen and the Ministry Of Trade
and Industry. Some factories are al
ready working out a plan Of profit
sharing.

itself the greatest attraction Of the
season, will have a soloist Efrem Zim-

Hundreds Of people are coming to
Missoula from out Of town to hear the
concert. Requests for tickets have
come even from Idaho, and western
Montana towns will be well repre-
scented. Indeed, all of the seats on the
main floor and the first balcony have
been sold save a few box seats.
In the second balcony, however, 200
seats are now on sale at dollar each.
For an attraction of this kind the gal
lery seats are, naturally, as good as
any in the house.

school election hers yesterday by n
big majority. Mrs c. NJ. Crutchfield
and ]. a. Welk were elected school

that it was voted upon it carried. but
somehow or other the funds We're di-
verted to other buildings and the last
three votes have failed to carry.

them an opportunity to take part In
the development OF what he believes
to be a rich oil and gas field, and to
share In the benefits Of same.
Mr.. Bethea says he is anxious for
the people to understand this is a
legitimate proposition and not Skin
game" That only stock enough will
be sold to sink the well and that every
dollar Of II will be used for this pur-
pose. That nobody connected with the
company in any way will get dollar
OF this money except the man who
drills the well. That II is to be an
honest effort to develop this field and
that every man who takes stock will
get a square deal and share and share
alike In proportion to the amount OF
stock owned.
Mr.. Bethea also wants II understood
that they are not going into this en-.
terprise blindly and backing their own
judgment as to the Indications, but
that the best oil experts and the most
learned scientists 4 the country have
been taken to NJ field. and II is upon
their opinion, fter visiting the field
