ing Of the blank books and supplies for
the new Ravalli county.
The next tilt between DAILY and

Elephant Caused a War

believing that Buddha lived again
in the body Of white elephant de-
Nastating war was fought in the six
teenth century between Siam and Pegu
for possession of the unhandsome AMI
NAL. For generation the struggle
continued and in it five kings came to
the throne, only to die together with
thousands of their subjects 4 white
elephant is exceedingly rare, but is
simply an albins and by no means
snow colored. In 1883 Barnum. not
from. religious motive, brought one
from Siam at n cost of 100000.
Frequent mention Is made of ele-
plants in the history of ancient wars.
The Roman armies fled at their first
appearance In their early conflicts with
the Carthaginians,- but by the use of
torches soon learned to break up a
charge of the huge beasts. Alexander
encountered them in his conquest of
Asia. . ..
The elephant looks stupid and his
brain Is small for his size. only as
large as a mans. but 1t is highly de-
veloped and few animals are more in
telligcnt. They are used as beasts
OF burden in India. where they are re-
garded with superstitious awe by their
drivers.

Takes His Hat or
10 Spirit Of Eikdom.

Hats off to the Missoula Elks,'
And he. isn't an Elk. either. but is
,appreciative Of the work the local men
have done through the MINISTRIES for
the local chapter of the Red Cross.
II was just thinking" he said yes
terday, ..of the other fraternal organ
izations in the city. There are the
Knights of Pythias, the Masons. the
Odd Fellows and some more who are
letting Elk members carry off all the
honors in this patriotic work.
There are couple dozen Of these
men who made the Elks minstrels a
success and who devoted many hours
of time in preparation for the two
performances given this week. They
did II without remuneration. without
thought of themselves and some OF
them at actual expense. Some who
participated were not even members of
the, Elks order. They contributed un-
grudgingly- -. r... ..-
That is the spirit of the times. IL
other lodges in Missoula would boost
for patriotic work rs zealously as the
Elks have done it would be a tremen-
dols thing for the cause 1 hope TO
see the others fall into line

Battles in Air Bring New

8ickford Is Friend
of Hated Squaw Fish.

"Squaw fish are good to eat, if they
are properly cooked says Judge Wal
| ter NJ. Bickford, who is authority upon
| fish and fish lines, both catching and
eating.
"All the rough fish have gained in
interest since the effort is SO general.
| ~ made to conserve food" Judge Bick-
ford says. Rough fish are those not
of the game variety, carp suckers,
squaw fish, sinners and buffalo fish.
About two months ago, the state au-
thorities granted permission for taking
not more than 2,e0O pounds of carp per
week from Lake Bowdoin and adjacent
waters to be sold to consumers for
not more than Is cents pound. Since
that time. the catching and sale Of carp
and buffalo fish has gone on steadily,
although the local demand for carp has
not been great. ~
The sauaw fish are plentiful i'll
neighboriug streams and they are good
food, very palatable If the cook knows
how. The point of the matter is to re-
move the skin and cut off head and
tail, 1t is not generally known, but it
is a fact that most of the muddy
flavor found in fish Of ANY species
comes from the coloring matter in the
scales or skin. When the skin is re-
moved, all flavor of mud is lost Let
the cook take care to have the head
and tail cut off and the skin removed
from the squaw fish, after which it
may be cooked in any of the usual
ways and prove excellent eating upon
meatless days"

SATURDAY, MARCH IS, 1918.
DAYLIGHT SAVING HERE.

The daylight saving bill passed
the house yesterday and will be-
come a law with the presidents
signature. 1t was passed by the
senate last June.
Prepare then. good people, to
set the clock one hour ahead on
Easter Sunday, March 81, and for
get it until October /. when the
hands will be turned backward.
Here is a bit Of national legisla-
ton that, comes straight home to
every man. woman and child.
even to the babies and the chick
ems that must be fed on changed
schedules.
We will go to work one hour
earlier and, by the same token,
quit an hour earlier in the after
noon.
The father Of this movement
was William Willclt, All English
man. Like most new ideas, it
was resisted. but once tried it
spread rapidly in European coun-
tries. Germany set the pace in
April, 1915, and within three
months twelve European coun-
tries had followed. Finally Great
Britain fell in line and saves Si2,-
100000 in gas and electric light
bills in a single season.
There was no confusion. as
some feared. The world simply
worked one hour nearer sunrise
There will be more golfers or
the links, the kids will have extra
hour Of daylight sports, bu
u should temper their Joy witt
the thought that they will have tt
SO to school an hour earlier. Tht
motorists will have an addet
hour, which means the burning
of more gasoline. Perhaps. tina
will be made up by the saving OF
gas and electric light bills.
1t will be here soon and W,
may as weA begin now to adjus
our plans to it, whether we ap
prove or not.

powerful pumps force water into the
