Citizen responsibility in the second
phase Of world warfare lies in the de-
velopment OF true national spirit.
Loyalty. like charity. begins at home"
And according to Dean A. l.. Stone OF
the school OF journalism at the uni
versity and one Of the first citizens OF
Missoula and of the state, who spoke
ut the university Thursday morning
on First Things OF Montana" the
broader work of education in teaching
patriotism should likewise begin at
home. Devotion to the country and
the love. admiration and appreciation
Of the ideals for which the government
stands can be be developed through a
knowledge of the history and the land
marks of the country.
Missoula Rich in History.
1--WE are particularly fortunate in be-
ing situated in the midst of the scenes
where We're enacted so many OF the
initial steps in the development OF
Montana" Mr.. Stone went on to tell
of the numerous landmarks represent
ing the work of the trail blazers and
settlers, many of which can be seer
and easily reached from Missoula.
'Shimmering Water"
Mr.. Stone explained the derivation
of the names Of the valleys, streams
and mountains in the vicinity OF Mis-
soula which had fortunately reverted
from the names given them at one
time by white men to the original
Indian names. Although by some Mis-
soula is claimed to come from the In
dian name meaning place Of ambush
q happier translation given it is
"shimmering water
In conclusion, speaking of The

Less Than Halt Exempt.

How many will he excused because
they have wife. children. mother. faith
err. sister or brother wholly dependent
upon them? 1t Is possible to approx
mate this from census figures. The
last census showed IS per cent OF the
men in the age group 20-to-24 were
unmarried. In the group e5-to-29. 4.
per cent were single. This would in
dictate that only AIS per cent OF al
the men registered have wives and
families.
But some OF these married men have
incomes which make their families in
dependent. This. however, Is a small
group. Most married men-and.most
other men-have to work for Il living
To this group. too, must be added

Gospel Mission

EVANGELIST |. T. johnson preached
Monday evening in the Mission hall
Prayer was offered in opening by the
Rev. F. C. Wright of Topsham. Mr..
Johnsons subject was from the fol-
lowing lines: And they all with one
consent began to make excuse. The
first one said have bought piece of
ground and | must needs go and see
it; | pray thee have me excused And
another said, l have bought five yoke
of oxen and I go to prove them;
pray thee have me excused. And an
other said, I have married a wife and
therefore l cannot come" This occur
rcd many years ago but the same thing
is going on today-making excuses.
1t is legitimate business to buy or
sell an acre of land and yoke or
oxen. The wrong thing is to let our
houses and horses keep us from DO
ing our duty in serving God acceplap-
IL. The one who had married Wl1e
was not as courteous as the others Tor
he declared. | cannot come. In speak
ing to Christians about catching oth-
ers for God, you are making excuses
This is just like the men that bought
the land and oxen. We at once con-
denim them and the same condemna-
tion is resting upon you. The equip
,,,ent for service to catch men Is READY
for everyone. You will find that Coo
spirit is the great equipper and is SUI
ficient for all. Meeting tonlght VIII

FIRES IN WOOD LOTS
KEEP FIREMEN BUSY
MONDAY AFTERNOON

Some Of the boys of the fire depart
ment had one Of the hottest fights on
Monday afternoon that has come 10
them in their experience as firemen' out
they won out as they usually do, al
though quite an amount OF land was
burned over There were two nres ana
two separate calls were sent In, SO that
the firemen had one Of the busiest a1t-
ernoons that has come to them for some
time
The first call came at 40 when SIX
blasts were sounded on the fire whistle
for a fire in the rural districts. The
motor truck with a crew of men went
fvinp to the scene of the trouble. when
was q fire in the wood lots several miles
north of the city and located on the 8
rod road, the owners Of the lots being
H F. Cummings and Charles Matthews.
The truck was sent back to the nose
housee On Bridge street and the men
under Chief Hunt went at the fire WITH
shove,s and other implements used in
6ghting fire. A stiff wind from the
northwest drove the flames oe1ore ~
and gave the boys a hot fight but they
stuck to it and finally succeeded In KILL
ing Il out after it had burned over
perhaps Is acres.
But that was not all. for at 2:45 they
received another call, this time on &C
count of a fire on the Hayward place
over on the River road. The truck was
sent out with another crew Of men who
found the second fire to be as threaten
ing as the first. The fire was travelling
at a great rate Of speed and 1t required
all their efforts to do anything in the
way of subduing it. But it was finally
done after it had burned over from 80
to IS acres The boys got back to the
house at about $40.
