Minneapolis in the past few weeks
ha had many wonderful patriotic meet
ings showing their loyalty in befit-
ting manner to their country and the
president, but these meetings were for
the purpose of showing where the
Minneapolis citizens stood upon the
present crisis, and were commendable.
But perhaps never in the history of
Minneapolis was there ever a gather
ing like the one held last Thursday
evening, in the Auditorium, under the
auspices of the Fourth Degree of the
Knights of Columbus. Patriotic in
character and honoring the anniver-
sary of the birth of George Washing
ton. Hundreds of citizens of Mime
apolis and surrounding cities clamored
for admission that they might assist
in the patriotic observance. But de.
spite the fact that the meeting was
held in the largest building in the city,
there were thousands who were turned
away owing to the overcrowded house.
Judge Marcus Kavanagh, one of the
most prominent jurists of Chicago, de-
livered an address that will be remem-
bered forever for it's fervent utterances
of patriotism and earnest extolment of
the first president of this noble repub-
lie. His words were the expression of
true-heartedness of an American pa
triot, and the audience soon in true
American spirit Joined in every utter
ance spoken by the Judge.
Judge Kavanagh briefly went over
the history of Washington informing
ling his speech with sidelights upon
Washington and his true Americanism,
never allowing dull moment to pass
during his entire talk. The audience
constantly showed their gratefulness
to the memory of their country's father
by applauding the speakers remarks
in a spirited manner.
The meeting was called to order by
Major William H. Donahue, and after
few patriotic remarks, introduced
Judge Ell Torrance, chairman of the
meeting, who paid beautiful tribute
to the patriotism of the knights of Co.
lumbus for their successful effort in
celebrating Washingtons Birthday,
and characterized the meeting as the
most wonderful gathering of Ameri-
cans that he has ever had the good for
tune to see.
Hamlin Hunt presided at the organ
and played several patriotic selections
which were roundly appreciated by the
vast audience. A baritone solo by
Percy Long was another selection that
merited the applause given. America
was sang by the audience and the
Star Spangled Banner at the close of
the meeting.

MOST LIBERAL CONTRACT is
OFFERED TO BEET GROWERS
Contract for 1918 Is $1.75 per Ton
Higher Than Price Paid for
This Years Crop.

Billings-The Great Western Sugar
company has announced the most lib
eral contract known to the sugar beet
industry of the states of Montana,
Wyoming and Colorado. In other
words, the company announces new
contract for 1918 beets at $1.75 per
ton above that for 1917, based on a
seven-year average. This action is
taken, according to w. l.. Lawson, of
this city, assistant general manager of
the company, in furtherance of the
request of Herbert c. Hoover, the ma
tional food administrator, that the
farmers produce a greater yield of
this important sugar producing crop.
The contract will be on a sliding scale
with a minimum price of $8.37k and
maximum of $40. While lower fig
ures are quoted for beets containing
a smaller percentage of sugar, this
will not affect the Montana crop, the
sugar content of which is the highest
on the quoted list. In consequence of
the new price vastly increased acre
age is predicted.

ADVOCATE MONTANA SYSTEM
FOR ALL LABOR DISPUTES
Employers Association and Union
Leaders Join Hands in Recon-
mending Plan to Government

Butte.-In an effort to do away with
strikes and lockouts for the duration
of the war. some of the leading labor
unions of Montana have joined hands
with the Employers association of
Montana, recommending to President
Wilson, Secretary of Labor Wilson
and Governor Stewart that the plan
of settling differences now used in
Great Falls, Billings, Butte, Helena,
Lewistown and some of the other
towns of the state, be adopted as a
nationwide measure.
The plan has been practiced in
Great Falls since the strike in that
city, with good results. 1t is prac-
ticed in Helena and has brought indus
trial peace to that city. 1t has been
adopted in Billings, Lewistown, Butte,
Havre, and other towns and has re-
suited in the elimination of labor dis
turbances.
''The plan is simply written agree
ment that before either side will re-
sort to strikes or lockouts they will
attempt to adjust differences in con-
ferences, and failing in this, to arbi
tration,' said John p. Mcintosh, state
secretary of the Employers associa
ton of Montana.
''This plan has been unanimously
endorsed by the Great Falls unions
and the business men of Great Falls
through the Employers association.
Endorsements of both sides are now
being given in Helena, Billings and
other towns of the state where the
plan is being given practical demon
stration. With these endorsements the
plan will be presented to the feder-
al labor Investigating commission now
touring the west at the request of
President Wilson. If the plan works
in Montana there is no reason why it
should not work elsewhere

Fuel Gas as Petrol Substitute.

The shortage Of petrol, as gasoline
Is known abroad, occasioned by the
enormous quantities needed on the
battle fronts, has resulted, in England
In the Introduction of a fuel alterna-
tive. In England the use of motorcy-
cles for private use necessarily came
to a standstill when the gasoline be-
came acute. But 1t is reported that
motorcyclists there soon discovered
that coal gas would serve just as well.
A gas container in the form of bal
loon is hoisted on steel supports
above the machine, giving the whole
outfit the appearance of a zeppelin
pup.
They are popularity termed balloon
bikes" and are said to operate much
more cheaply on coal gas than on gaso-
line. The possibilities that might re-
suit from a meeting between this new
contraption and a good broadside gale
can only be imagined, but there would
undoubtedly be no lack of thrills.-Ex-

Rasputin's Religious System.

The Christian Advocate reports the
Countess Won Schaumberg as giving
this succinct sketch of Rasputin's
theology:
HE made fundamental the doctrine
that there was no salvation without
repentance and as the righteous need
no repentance, the best preparedness
for salvation was a heavy course In
sin. Blessed are the sinful, for they
shall be saved through repentance
was his diabolic beatitude. No won.

practical lessons in SHINING as means
