We're of the opinion that their drilling
had greatly improved under Col. Bull

drilled the company in squad and col

most an hour and then turned the
command over to the other officers,
who marched the men to Lithuanian
hall on Park street where further
drilling took place.
The Guard. will meet in Lithuanian
hall again on next Tuesday and We'd
nesday nights for drills. Each man
will be expected to bring his gun for
in addition to marching orders the
men will be drilled in the manual of
arms. pa
BY company vote It was decided
not to meet for a drill on Sunday.
While some of the members objected
to the Sunday drilling from individual
beliefs and causes, the entire assemb-
lage thought they would lose prestige
by failing to observe the Sabbath.
On Tuesday night report will be
made as to how many organizations
are to march In the Patriots day par
AIDE on Thursday and If the Home
Guard and other organizations are to
take part the City Guard will vote to
do likewise.
The work of the City Guard last
night was marked by it's intensiveness.
There was but little talking in tho
ranks and the sharp commands Of Col.
Bullen kept every man on his met
tie.

MARRIED FOR FIVE YEARS
TEACHER KEEPSlTSECRET

Miss Adelaide Rowe, popular
Butte school teacher, has demon
strated conclusively that at least
some women can keep a secret for
she was married in Fort Benton,
December %, 1914, to Theodore Pill
ger, member OF the graduating
class of the Montana School of Mines
in 1912, and the news of their mar
riage did not become known to their
friends until they telegraphed to
Butte while on belated honeymoon
in Seattle.
During the holiday season five
years ago the young couple made a
trip to Fort Benton. They returned
to Butte and the young lady continu-
ed for five years her duties as a
teacher, while the young man COM
pleted his course as mining engin-
eer. Now they are on their way to
Alaska for wedding trip

camp fire.
The day began with a morning
dip in the cold mountain stream, fol-
lowed by flag raising before break
fast. Then came inspection after
which there was a fifteen minutes
Bible study. The nature teaching
method was used References were
taken from the Bible to such things
as rocks, storms, trees, hills, birds,
sunshine, ETC., and their places in
the plan of life was explained Then
the boys were given instruction in
"qualities that VIM, emphasis being
laid upon the Importance of ODE
dience. self control, honesty, work,
courage, honor, perseverance,, cooper
alton, truthfulness and decision.
Camp work followed the boys gather
ing firewood, carrying water and
looking after camp sanitation. The
remainder of the morning was left for
hiking Or other sports. After dinner
came rest period followed by a base
ball game. Flag lowering preceded
supper after which volley ball was
playeu anu gaines "ele eHJos gu
around the camp fire.
In many respects the program for
the scout period was similar. In
place of the same Bible study course,
however, the various II scout laws
were taken for illustration. They in-
clude the things required of scout
among which are that he be "obedi-
ent, courteous, clean, kind, friendly,
loyal, helpful and reverent"
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1917-09-14

During the entire camp period the
campfire proved a feature. Special
stunts were arranged each evening
and an original program was given
one night by each group. On one
evening a marshmallow roast was
held. Story telling and singing were
features several others. An honor
system Of conduct rules and on the
final night camp rewards were given
those boys scoring the highest These
were colored bandanas, the color
showing the standing of the winners.
So successful was the camp this
year that "Y" officials anticipate a
