CAN'T BEGIN; DOING IT NOW
RandIe Highlands Citizens Assoela-
tion Indorses Gardening.

The Randle Highlands Citizens As
ISOLATION has decided il cannot take
up the movement for home gardening.
But the association has reasons for
not doing so. Members of the associa-
tion say the garden movement cannot
help their community, because anyone
in Randle Highland who does not cul-
tivate a garden is simply a visitor
there
Members of the association talked
over the garden movement at their
meeting last night and formally in
dorsed the campaign for more gar
dens. Each member promised to en-
courage the movement, but all mem
bers OF the association cultivate all
the garden land available.
On the death of J. NJ. Brown. a
farmer who was struck by an autOmo-
bile last Saturday at the approach to
the Pennsylvania avenue bridge, the
association adopted a resolution call
ing on the Commissioners to post
warning signs on the approaches to
either end of the bridge.
Blank applications for the District
Home Defense League were received
and discussed by the association. Resi-
dents OF Randle Highlands will attend
a meeting at date not yet fixed to
hnd out how many candidates for the
league can be secured.
Several alleys in the suburb will be
improved within the next few weeks,
and Twenty-fifth street will be grad
ed and improved in July.
A letter from the Commissioners
said IL would be impossible to raise
the grade Of Pennsylvania avenue
from Broad Branch avenue to the
Bowen road. The railroad company
operating across the bridge will be
required TO fill the space between its
tracks so that this grade will con-
form to that OF the remainder of the
roadway.

citation, presided.

EDUCATION COST MAY SOAR
G. w. U. Tuition Fees May Be Rails
ed In Fall Of 1918.

The high cost OF education is due
to hit Washington in the fall of 1918.
Authorities at George Washington
University have under consideration
the raising of tuition fees at that
time. The increasing cost OF ma
terials. instruction, and administra-
tion probably will make the increase
imperative by 191s-1919, according
to Rear Admiral Charles Herbert
Stockton. U. s. N, retired, president
of the university.
Rear Admiral Stockton has an
nounced there will be no general in
crease in tuition fees next fall un-
less the war results in a heavy de-
crease in enrolment, which Is not
expected.
Tuition fees in the Dental College
and the Medical School will be in
creased slightly next fall, however.

Food Situation

AT a recent conference between
forty labor leaders, headed by
Samuel Gompers, with President
Wilson these things were asked
by the labor leaders
First-That President Wilson
either go before Congress or sum
mon congressional leaders to him
and urge the i'm mediate passage
of the food bills.
Second-That the food bills be
passed by July /.
Third-That the President and
Herbert c Hoover receive the
power to handle the food situation
themselves.
The labor men told the presi-
dent that while the cost of living
had advanced beyond all reason,
wages have remained practically
the same. President Wilson,
while he gave no indication of his
probable course, told the delega.
ton that he was in entire accord
with them. Mr. Gompers said
that as an instance of what regu-
lation will do. the bakers of De-
troit are selling loaf of bread in
Detroit for ID cents and the same
bakers are selling the same bread
across the line in Windsor, Canada,
for nine cents. Canada has regu-
lation, we have none. Mr. Sulli-
van, member of this delegation,
who has. just returned from
Europe, brings the Information
that in France and Belgium a
larger and better loaf of bread is
sold for less money than right
here in the United States.

You reckless men and women WIN

Freezone dries the moment it is an.

lus without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of free7one will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but win posi-.

it mt any wholesale drug house for You,

Warm Weather Worth
$4,000 tA Miss0ula
in Coal Bills Saved

ON paper, the warm weather of this
winter has saved Missoula 7.437 tons
of coal, or about $4,000, thus far this
winter. The figures obtained are
rough and perhaps do not tell the
story in any but. an approximate man
ncr. Nevertheless, they go to show
that the absence of Old Man Winter
has helped the cause of Uncle sam to
some extent in this city.
Families in many sections of the
city We're consulted yesterday regard
ing the amount of coal burned in oc-
tober November and December of this
year. and also of year ago The re-
suits obtained show that the warm
weather has reduced the average con-
sumption of coal for each family In
the city from four and three fourths
tons in the three months of n year
ago to three tons in the three months
of this year. Assuming that there are
i,25a homes in the city the approNi-
mate population divided by the aver
age number in a family last year
20. Isl tons of coal was burned in the
months of october, November and De
cember. Using the same assumption,
this year the total consumption of
coal thus far in the winter has been
T., $50. This gives the saving of r.
437 tons. If the average cost of coal
is 80 per ton the weather man has
saved Mssoula citizens $66SS0 this
winter
The Investigation also proved that
the city is not liable to coal shortage,
The coal dealers of the city say 'hat
the purchase of fuel has been on a par
with that of last year. If the con-
sumption Of coal has fallen Off IL is
not amiss to say that many of the
bins of MisSoula citizens are now
brimming' full.
