CABARET TOO MUCH FOR
 AGED ARMY OFFICER

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 12, (Mail Correspondence).-Capt. F. c. Desum- ichraSt, 73, English army officer and former Harvard professor, who is in St. Louis to make several addresses on England's side of the war and con ditions in general, could not reconcile bare legged cabaret with patriotism. He departed abruptly, without having delivered his scheduled address, from banquet of the Rotary Club at Sap pington Inn.
 The first part of the program was military tableau of the spirit of 1917 and was very interesting. Then came a group of young women in scant attire who danced and sang and sat on the laps of the men, hugging them, and at this juncture the captain left.

Methodist Church

"Divine Source of Redemption" was the theme at the Methodist church Sunday evening. Text, l Timothy 1:15.
 "It depends a great deal," Rev. Pat ton said, Chow an act or deed of hero ism came to be perfromed as to the amount of honor in mems lives who hold chief distinction in the worlds history. If Hobson had been compell- ed to sink the vessel in the channel in an attempt to block the Spanish fleet, the world would think but little of his act. The text tells us that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sin ners, so we at once grasp the facts as so many times repated in the Bi- ble that our Saviour had willing pur- pose in coming to earth. He realized that wicked men would put him to death. Christ announced that fact early in his ministry. He makes it

SUNDAYS
 SERMONS
Christian Church

Mrs. Munro chose as her text for the Sunday evening worship the passage from Mark: "The chief priests, the Scribes and the elders said unto him, by what authority dost thou do these things?" The Jewish people were at this time subject to Roman rule, represented in the procurator Pointius Pilate. While the Hebrews "paid tribute to Ceasar," yet they obeyed their own ruler, the represen- tatives of their religion; the Phari- sees, Sadducees, scribes and elders. These various orders had become so accustomed to obedience that they had come to consider themselves the court of final appeal in all religious laws and practcies. Having mastered the Jew ish law they based their authority upon this knowledge.
 Then comes Jesus, who ignores alike their authority and that of the Cea- sarS, and presumes to set his own teachings over against theirs, and he was obeyed. Not only that, He takes charge of the temple and says what shall and what shall not be done in it. No wonder the chief rulers are shock ed! No wonder they asked, "By what authority?" Jesus had the only au- thority needed then or since to dictate human actions. He had the authority of a perfect life, of clear conscience purged of any self-seeking or policy. Christ offers that same authority to- day to any of his followers who are willing to pay the price. A few years ago President Wilson offered John R. Mott a most important amt assador- ship, but Mir. Mott refused, saying that he felt he had a greater work to do as President of the Y. M. c. A. 1onay we are all thanking Mir. Mott tor the splendid work the Y. M. c. A. is doing for our army and those of our Allies. To just the extent that we pay the price, to just that extent will we have authority and power.

very plain in John 3:14, also in such passages as Matthew 16:21. It has been no easy matter, this redemption of the world. It began with the death of Jesus Christ.

IMPORTANCE OF FAIRS

The state and county fairs of the
United States are among the most
important factors in the development
of general agriculture.
There are over 400 of these in
stitutions. and the value of the
grounds and buildings is about $780,
100000.
The annual attendance at these
annual events is right at 35,00O,0o0
people. One third of the people in
America attend the fairs of the
country.
These are educational institutions
which teach by object lesson. There
is no more practical or impressive
method.
That the fair serves useful pur-
pose is unanimously admitted.
But the fair serves useful pur-

states farther, however, that owing
to the Very late season and the small
amount of blowing done last fall that
it has been exceedingly difficult for
farmers to get all their ground plow-
ed and seeded at a seasonable time.
He states that Il large number of
tractors have been sold and put in
use which have materially assisted
in the getting in of the crop. On the
whole Mr. Scearce believes there will
be quite an increased acreage and
with favorable weather from now on
the Reservation should produce a
large crop, which with the prevail
ing high prices and prospects for
same to be maintained in this years
crop, should mean the greatest pros
perity ever enjoyed in this valley.

COUNCIL HASTENS
WATER SYSTEM

Quick action and definite steps re-
garding the Roman Water and light
ing system characterize the attitude
taken by the recently elected Mayor,
John p. Swee and the council COM
posed OF A. M. Sterling and Z. burst
of the first ward, Ross Lemire and
A. Sutherland of the second ward and
Jud Warner and Caska Allen of the
third ward, who met Monday evening
in Sutherland's office for the first
time. taking their oath of office and
entering upon their duties. A COM
mittec consisting of A. M. Sterling
Ross Lemire and Jud Warner was ap-
pointed by the mayor to leave next
week for Columbia Falls to investi-
gate and collect data regarding the
privately okned water and lighting
system there and also to go to White
Fish and collect data regarding the
municipality owned system which may
be of use to the council in determine
ing the Roman water and lighting
system.
w. Il. Mcdonald, representing the
Northern Idaho Power Company was
present at the meeting and offered
to take a franchise to furnish light
to the town of Roman. His offer was
however, layed aside for cOnsidera-
tion until the committee has return
ed from their trip investigating the
systems of Columbia Falls and White
Fish.
The council paid considerable at
tcnton to Engineer A. l.. Jaqueth, of
Kalispell, when giving his talk, adj
vising them as to the manner in
which municipality owned plant
may be installed in Roman.
The city council will take definite
action regarding the water and light
ing system at the next meeting which
Mayor Swee has set for May 81, when
the investigation Committee will have
returned from their tour: 1t S expect
ed at that time the council will call
an clectio for Roman citizens to de-
eide on certain alternatives to be
proposed by them.

SAVE THE BIRDS THAT
PROTECT OUR FOOD

All summer long when in the fields
and garden crops are growing, the
birds, strongest allies of the farmer,
are on guard. Keen eyed and quick
of action they discover and destroy
countless insects that prey on the
growing grains and vegetables. With
out them there would be sorry and
mcager crops in the fall.
Already the grain and vegetable
supply is inadequate, with a threaten
ed famine as the result. Had it not
been for the relentless picket duty
of the birds last summer there would
now be actual starvation.
Go into any garden and you will
see them busy on their jobs, never
resting, never tiring. AS long as
there is daylight they are at work
and they return to it with the first
dawn in the morning, catching and
dcvouring the soggy overfed slugs and

themselves all night on the plants
the farmer is so eager to bring to
fruition.
1t is public duty to protect the birds
from everything that can destroy
them. 1t is a very important, a very
serious duty, and one whose value to
the public cannot be overestimated.
1t is probable that, were all the
birds destroyed, not single fruit or
vegetable could be grown out of doors
Insects wouldmultiply a millionfold
in a very short time. Soon they
overrun every field and garden.
Any one who has seen the ravages
of the army worm or the seventeen
year locust can understand what this
would mean.
These pests, increasing faster than
they can be destroyed, even by the
birds, literally eat the entire crops
from the surface of the ground, dig
ging right down to the earth till not
a stalk is left of anything.
All efforts to destroy them or turn
them back prove futile. Life a de-

is to rebuild the structure and accord
ing to plans Roman will soon have a
theatre building which will be a
credit to the town and community
and we'll worthy of CITY of three
thousand people 1t will be a monu-
ment to Mr.. Gehlert's confidence in
the future of our municipality in
as much as it will meet the demand
| for house of public amusement
| for some time to come.
The edifice is to be 40X115 and is
to be built of tiling and pressed brick
AS far as possible, the building will
be fire-proof modern in architectural
pliances and equipment. Provision is
made for independent light and heat
ing systems. 1t will have a seating
capacity of five hundred persons and
in addition to the seating arrangement
on the ground floor there will be a
balcony or parquet circle.
Particular attention has been given
by the architects to the ornate char
acter of the theatres front and the
in ct al at ion of annie lights for hril-
liant illumination. Enterance to the
building will be had through a foyer
with tiled floor, mural frcscoes and
luXuriously appointed generally.
Material has been already shipped
from Spokane and building operations
will be forced as rapidly as may be
consistent with first class work, said
Mr.. Gehlert. We intend to have the
opera house open to the public, he
stated, as soon as human labor can
accomplish the work, and the best
film service in the market will be
maintained at all times.
"This town has always looked gooG
to me-, asserted Mr.. Gehlert, "and
the best expression of confidence any
one can show in community is to
erect permanent buildings in it and

to the builder and the town as we'll.

No event occurs in any community
that gets so many people out and
mikes them up so much.
To him who finds no enjoyment or
no profit in meeting his neighbors OF
in mingling with the people, the Soc

A fair makes no distinction of per-

alike.
1t takes time and skill to produce
