Many well known names are on the

them when help is scarce, for they

for the next lot Of s~oldiers-and n
cannot disappoint the boys who are
never too tired to respond to the call
Of duty.
Another part Of the canteen service
is the "store," where the soldiers are
supplied with their needs, where
things they have lost in the heat OF
battle are replaced, tooth paste hand
ed out, razor blades, towels, tooth
brushes, all sorts Of things, not forget
ting the post cards to send home and
the ever wanted packages Of cigar
cites.
Taking 1t all in all, the canteen does
far more than fill the stomachs OF the
men-it puts something worth while
into their hearts.

HIGHWAY EXPENDITURES
LARGE NEXT YEAR

Helena. December 12.-In a commu-
nication just received from the office
of public roads, department of agri-
culture, by the state highway commits
sion it is predicted in excess of ST.
100000 will be expended for highway
construction purposes in the United
States during the year 1919. This pre-
diction is based upon the fact federal
aid funds already available, and those
which will be made available July 1,
1919, will aggregate $50, 900, 900, of
which amount not over $4,000, 900 has
been expended.
With removal of priority restric-
tions on highway construction mater
ials by the War Industries Board, the
Fuel Administration, the Railroad Ad-
ministration and the United States
Highway council a great revival in
road building should result.
The vigorous prosecution of all pub
lie improvement work is regarded as
an effective means of insuring employ
ment particularly to unskilled labor,
in the transition period from war to
peace. AS the benefits of improved
highways are immediate to say moth
ing the great desirability of having
all labor employed and money active
it is believed to be better to go ahead
with road work wherever it is needed
rather than wait for a period of lower
prices.
During the restrictive period the
state highway commission has beer
busily engaged making surveys ano
preparing data required by the fedora
government for it's consideration o.
highway projects proposed for fedora
aid. These so-called federal aid pro

 Bob Cleveland. who is charged joint ly with him. will enter q plea of not guilty.
 The murder of the aged rancher was one of the most coldblooded crimes committed here in years and extra pre- cautions were taken by the sheriffs office in order that the men in jail might be protected by law. There were rumors of lynching during the first few days after the killing. the only eX- cuse for which was that Peay's chick ems trospassed on the neishbors' prem iseS.
 Pierson admits the shot was fired hy him and Cleveland is accused by the officers of counseling and abetting the crime.

 This is an artists viewpoint and vas the statement made by Mrs. Hemman Hall, museum instructor of the Chicago Art institute in an illus trated lecture on What Is Art" at The Woman's club yesterday.
 No one would object to being called artist more than Mrs Hall, who de- clores that the word is missused. but no one but an artist could have such perfect understanding of art.
 Mrs. Hall in her introduction. paid glowing tribute to Phoenix and urged the club women 10 make it city beautiful. Build for pos tcrity,' she pleaded. She also sug- gested that museum be started here by contributions, rare bit of pot tery, picture, any small object of art and as she stated art is not confined to pictures but to any thing well done"
 Art could not be learned from cata- logues she continued. hy recogniz- ing painting, an artists name, but to actually know construction-to understand lines, form, composition and color. She pointed ont these features in the steroptocan slides that were copies of the masterpieces in sculpture and paintings. The lecturer has delightful way of conveying the idea that the pictures were not photo graphs, but artists ideals expressed.
 The speaker was introduced by Miss May Noble. chairman of the art and literature department of the club and organizer Of the Sketch club under the auspices of which the at tended open meeting was held

Myers says was turned over to Mrs. Myers for household expenses, and some went to pay debts around town. His only other property was in Yonkers, which he recently deeded tu Mrs. Richter, q daughter of MT Untermeyer and rela- tive of MT. Myers by marriage. Mr. Myers had borrowed from her, he said. and the property was used in payment of the debt. He had nothing at the present time but his salary of $160 q month with an elevator company in the east.
 MT. Myers testified that he had gone east with the intention of establishing i a home for his wife and child. He had been employed all but few weeks in the year and a half that he has been away from here, he said.
 Mrs. Myers in the meantime has been living in an apartment in Glenn Falls

 was shown that her household goods

Most of the shipyards are not ready for men, though most of them thus far have been working only one shift day, instead of the three hoped for by the government.
 The national authorities ask the artisans of the country to consider that ships and more ships must be available if the war for world liberty is to be won. There is a present shortage for carrying to Europe the men and munitions and food. the oil and coal and Red Cross supplies that America has gathered as her contribution in the titanic struggle. The National Shipping board has 71e ships on the ways. A of them steel. Materials and equipment for the ships are available. What is needed is the service of skilled and patriotic men to assemble these materials into completed ships that will bear the nations flag on every sea.

APPOINTMENT WAS
 SECURED BY STORY

 They repeat many stories of the late Private John Allen, but this one al ways made Grover Cleveland chuckle when he thought of it.
 After Cleveland was sent to the White House the residents of Private Aliens home town, Tupelo. Miss, turned their covetous eyes upon the local postoffice One aspirant was if nally leading the race for the appoint ment so far as Private Allen, then congressman was concerned. Allen called on Cleveland in the interest of his selection. The president listened and promised to give the suggestion consideration. A little later the con- gressman called again to jog the execu- tive's memory. At that time Cleveland was on record as a supporter of the civil service and he told Private John so.
 But" said Allen. Mir President. my people down there have been wait ing thirty years for a democratic president and they look for me to oust that republican"
 This interview was followed by an- other and still another. One day Pri- vate Allen, after a talk on the subject, said
 Do you know, this reminds me of a case l had down in Tupelo. A man died and his sons got into a squabble over the estate. One of the sons came to me. l took his case and won it. The other3 appealed and the matter dragged along. The client came t1 see me time and again, but l told him he would have to wait for the courts 1 to act One day after l had repeated l this to him he sat meditatively for a 1 few moments and said:
 Do you kEow, sometimes I almost 1 wish father hadn't died.'" President Cleveland sent Aliens mans name to the senate the next 1 day.

Taking the stand in his own behalf and calling for no other witness, Colt Myers refuted must of the testimony that was offered at the first days hearing in the divorce case brought by Mrs. Catherine Myers on the ground of habitual intemperance and failure to provide. He was the star witness in one of the most interesting divorce cases that has ever been heard in the local courts and in which a decision Will be handed down on Saturday by Judge Lyman.
 The case was submitted without argument, but briefs will be submitted on the question of residence and in- temperance. The question was also raised as to whether or not MT. and Mrs. Myers lived together after the divorce had been decided upon, MT. Myers claiming that they occupied the same room when they were guests of the Samuel Untermeyers place Grey stone. He also said that after the separation they were together at the Park Avenue hotel in New York.
 MT. Myers frankly admitted that at times he had drunk more than he should, but that he did not drink con- tinually and did not believe he had been intoxicated more than three or four times during his several years residence in Phoenix. He said that he distinctly recalled one occasion which was made much of on the preceding day and that was when he returned to this city after taking his brother body east for burial and finding a dance in progress at his country home
