PIONEER ST0CKMAN
SAYS LOSS is SMALL

Cattle losses in eastern Montana
this winter are due more to the long
delayed departure of the snow and
the lack of early grazing ground
than the severe winter and the short
age of hay" E. D. Coleman of Glas-
cow said recently. MI. Coleman has
been a resident in Montan for 80
years, and most of the time engaged
in the cattle buseinss. He is wild ly
known in the state and met a num-
Der of old friends in Butte.
I'm all my residence in Montana ]
never experienced a winter such as
this and it is we'll known that we had
several which were severe and trying
for the cattlemen. I am glad that
the cattle were not on the open
ranges this winter as they were in
the past, or the losses would h e
been frightful. The losses were com
paratively small in considering the
great number of small herds"

THE RED CROSS DRIVE

The War Council of the American Red
Cross, having conceived that great ma
tional purpose will be served by having
menbershi pin the organization almost as
universal as citizenship, again Pensacola
has been enlisted in a great drive, and will
do part towards securing ten million
Christmas members for the Red Cross.
Again and again, with other commune
ties, Pensacola has been summoned to do
her part for her country and again and
again the response has not only been ade-
quate, but has been more than proportion
ate to her population. In every drive
which b. Seen made for any public war
relief WORK Icns; ola has more than
come up to the rNDectations of those who
have been Interested
The Red Cross drive is something just
a little bit more sacred than any other
work that Pensacola has been called upon
to do 1t is something that stands, before
everything else, for suffering humanity.
The Red Cross is not alone a medium of
war relief, it is work that stands for all
time 1t represents the tenderness, the
love, the pity. the divine spirit of self
abnegation on the battlehelds where the
dead and wounded lie today, and no less
guards with its unfailing protection those
who need its offices at home.
In making its appeal the national asso-
citation asks for fifteen rnilli/l memb ers.
This is the part that We who are left at
home have to do for our country. By
very small sacrifice each one of us may be-
come a member of the Red Cross, or if al
ready members, may take out mem
bership for someone else.
Surely the Christmas season is a fitting
time for this work, for the Red Cross in
its practical application of the principles
Of Christianity, follows the teaching of
The Nazarene, who was born in Bethle-
hem of .Judea on that first Christmas
morning, two thousand years ago, and
whose teachings are exemplihed in service
to humanity.

PROPHETIC WONDERS

In 1866 the Reverend NJ Baxter, founder
OF the Christian Herald published book
on the Forty Future Wonders predicted
in Daniel and Revelation, and according
to that book of half century ago much Of
the prophecy has already been fulfilled.
The first wonder, to take place between
the dates of 1906 and 1919 SIS of European
wars and revolutions. European convul-
sions will extend France to the Rhine
and cause political earthquake so mighty
and so great as was not since men were
upon the earth"
The Second Wonder is Revelations dry
Ing up of the Euphrates," or the Turco-
Mohammedan empire, between the years
i917 and 1919
saewteen 1917 and 1919 also is predicted
formation of the ten-kingdomed confed-
eracy by division of all countries of Gaze
sar's original Roman empire This result
ing from victorious war of France
against Germany or a revolution in Ger
many. Daniel 2 to s.
The restoration of Jerusalem is predict
ed and the building of the temple is placed
between 922 and 1929
After the great wars and revolutions the
Reverend Mn Baxter predicted "black
famine" somewhere between 1925 and
1927, and between January, 1927, and May
1928, widespread, terrible pestilence
| These are deductions from Mr.. Baxter's
study of the Scripture, which in some in
stances have already proven him 'sno mean
prophet"

THE CARNIVAL CELEBRATION.

Whether or not Pensacola should
have a carnival celebration rests
with the people of this city. AS to
its wisdom, the months to come alone
can tell. But if such a celebration is
to take place, the patriotic pageant
which has been chosen for represent
tation would certainly seem to be the
best vehicle of expression.
Pensacola has witnessed a number
of celebrations in the past which
compare most favorably with those
staged in other cities.
The honors paid to the various
commissions from foreign countries
Italian, Belgium, Japanese, etc.,-by
the people of New York city in no
way compared with the beauty of the
many of the carnival parades given
here. Even the parade and recep-
ton to the French commission did
not so far eclipse what Pensacola
has done and may do.
One reason for this is that Pensa-
cola is fortunate in being in position
10 dSh ire support Oh the army ana
navy in all celebrations of this char
acter, both branches of the service
having always been most generous
in lending their assistance in pag-
cant of any public nature.
That Pensacola could stage a most
beautiful and elaborate patriotic pag-
cant, there is little doubt if the peo-
pie of this section decide to lend
their support to the carnival associa-
ton for this purpose.
Let us hope that as the time draws
near, victory for the allies may be
in sight and may be SO celebrated.
This would at least be in line of
some of the many prophecies which
predict that the war will end in Feb
ruary, If not sooner.

cannon is deafening, and these be-

their new freedom, dreading what
may yet be in store for them.
