The Smith, lazy man is he,
With time upon his hands.
He waits for but a chance to rob
The first poor cuss he can,
He wants the whole world for q job
And soaks most amy man.
And he is quite wealthy soul,
In case and wealth. he fares,
For he has made a large fat roll
In motor car repairs.

To the Ladies.
You have rightly felt embittered
When at times the men have Uttered
When they've iested at your fashions
in delight,
When they've likened to a barrel
Or Il beanstalk your apparel
And have said the stlyes you favored
were a fright.
Ard indeed. through all the years that
We remember, it appears that
Hen have always viewed with
chickering's and smiles
Any sort of gown or robe r
Garment. be it gay or sober,
And have raved about the women's
present styles.
All the jests they have invented
You have properly resented
In the Past. But speaking plainly, il
we may,
Jest today you really merit
And you'll surely have to bear it,
For your styles are simply terrible
today.

A joint meeting of a special commit

ing at 10 o'clock at the chamber Of
commerce building for the purpose Of
formulating and adopting rules for
conducting a potato and general gar

ecutive committee of the chamber Of
commerce yesterday provisions were
made for prizes aggregating $1,000 to

ty and to residents of Missoula, and
all its suburbs, to those raising the

AS soon as rules governing the con-

open to entries. 1t is the plan Of the
cha amber of commerce to have at least
two classes Of gardens: a town lot
class and class based on an acre
measurement in order that all of the
farmers as well as the town people
may enter.
It is the purpose of the contest to
bring about the employment of better
methods in farming and gardening and
to initiate steps toward reducing the
high cost of living. especially in regard
to vegetables. The present price Of
potatoes has furnished the incentive
toward the establishment Of that part
of the contest.

Little Chats With Housewives.

Very often Young Wives come to US
and say, How can | re- decorate our
little home tatsefllly ard at Small
Cost?
If you can save ont is or 20 cents
from the general household expenses
each week ii will soon mount up to
three or four dollars, as the case may
be. This may lk' spent fur carpets. wall
paper. varnish and curtains. Other in
cidental expenses will cat up the rest
OF it, In selecting the wall paper pick
out large patterns that you will soon
tire of. The larger and more horrible
patterns are the most expensive but
they can always be covered with some
thing simpler if you so desire. The
choice of the wall paper is Important
because it Can seldom be sent back if
1t doesn't fit. Another simple way to
re-dccorate the home is to invite a
small cousin or nephew for visit and
give him several buckets of paint and
n hatcfst to play with.

HElLSTERh STORE IS
DAMAGED BY FLAMES
basement Of Building For Some
Time. But Finally Conquer It.

Through the strenuous efforts Of
the local fire-flghters in confning the
flames TO the basement of the build
ing. the store at Seventh and Broad
Streets. occupied by Hellstern Broth
ers, was saved from destruction by
fire early yesterday morning.
The fire. which was OF an undeter-
mined origin, Was discovered shortly
after o'clock by l.. G, Smithers,
night Waterman. He was passing the
building when he saw smoke coming
out of the cellar. hole on Seventh
street An investigation disclosed
that the entire basement was filled
with fire and smoke and ne imme-
diatefy sent in an alarm.
Engine Companies Nos. 8. 4, 8 and 9
and Truck No. responded and for
some time the iremen fought the
stubborn flames. However. they sue
ceeded in combining them to the base
ment, and before o'clock they had
been extinguished.
Street car traffic was blocked for
more than an hour, and finally the
cars had to be temporarily rerouted.
Hundreds OF people on their way to
work gathered around the building,
and II became necessary for the po-
lice TO establish fire lines to prevent
the onlookers from hinderfng the work
OF the firemen.
II Is thought that the fire started
in email kitchen in the basement
OF the building. where GAS stoves are
used in preparing sandwiches and
cakes for the store. However, this
fact is not definitely known to the pro-
prtetors or those who investigated the
fire. Considerable damage was done
to machines. fancy candies and to-
bacco stored in the basement. Mem
bers of the firm are now taking an
inventory in an EFFORT to ascertain the
exact damage. which Is thought to
be heavy The building and stock are
said to have been partially covered
by insurance.

Receipts at the Richmond post offic

of about 2 per cent over the total for
the corresponding month In the pre-
ceding year, according 10 figures OBJ
tatnable yesterday at the Office of
Postmaster Hay r. Thornton. The
total for December. 1915, was S93.-

During the month of December last

TUESDAY CLUB HEARS
TWO GOOD SPEAKERS
Clifton Forge Editor, George o.
Greene, and International Secre-
tary Roper Attractions.

The Railroad Y NJ. c. A Tuesday
Clubs first meeting of the new year
demonstrated the continued and in
creaslng popularity of the club and
the normal condition of the members
appetites. Also that the clubs chief
attraction is not the meat that per-
isheth.'' but the spiritual bread of
life.
Mr. George o. Greene, editor OF the
Clifton Forge Review. was the first
speaker and was received with ap-
plause. Although he voiced the sem
timents Of the little boy who said he
supposed after dinner speeches were
termed 'toasts because they are dry"
Mr.. Greenes remarks were anything
but dry and his tribute TO the Rail-
way Y. NJ. c. AS and to Richmond
was very handsome.
Mr.. G.. X. Roper International
Railway Y. NJ. c. A. secretary, spoke
on the subject. Mans Relationship
to God" One way of approach to
God is through His written Word and
the other way is personal communion
with Him through prayer. Prayer is
vital part OF every mans life. We
pray continuously-ever prays,
not all nor any with proper con-
ception of true and vital prayer. but
everybody voices the iongihgs of the
neart 10 supreme power
Mr. Roper then took up the Lords
Prayer and dweit very Interestingly
on all It's paragraphs. He called at
tention 10 the fact that this prayer
voiced only one petition for a ma
terial things-our daily bread-but is
full of heart aspirations for a closer
communion with God that our spirit
ual life may be enriched and our ad-
Grafton of our Father be perfected
The forgiveness of sins Is the first es-
sential of spiritual life. The heart
must be cleansed from sin. We should
pray for strength to do our work
Then we should pray for others. Re-
ligion Is an unselfish thing. 1t must
regard others. Prayer leads men into
the kingdom OF God. We should pray
in faith. God has promised to an
swer prayer. We should pray with
sincerity. We should not expect God
to do for US what we can do for our
selves. And we should pray intelli-
gently. Real, fervent prayer. effec-
tual prayer, puts us in close touch
with God and reveals unto us His will.
Mr.. Roper's address was well
delivered and we'll received.
The benediction was pronounced by
Secretary Thomas and the first meet
ing Of the club in the new year came
to an end.
The associations past year was very
prosperous and the new year opens
very auspiciously.
