HUNS PREVENT
MISS RANKIN'S
LOAN SPEECH
Small own kaisers Stop Lib
erty Loan Speech at Butte
and Deer Lodge.
Is IT GERMAN PROPA-
GANDA?

Montana,s ongfeSsWornan, Jea.
nette Rankin, YVES denied the privil
eye of using the High School Audi
forum at Butte for the purpose Of
making Liberty Bind speech few
days ago. The copper collared'
members of the school board who op.
en- the auditorium for all manner OF
public speakings, decided that the
official speaker on behalf of the Lib
erty Loan could not have the use OF
the building and thereby deliberately
slapped the President and all patri-
otto Americans in the face.
Miss Rankin was undaunted by this
refusal and in her usual plucky man
ner, chung precariously to tn iron
gates that were locked against her
and the government of the United
States and made her speech in the
raging of a binding snow storm.
This refusal on the part of the Pro-
Hun School Board of Butte is a di-
rect case of interference with thk sale
+ Liberty Bonds and shows plainly
that the Ama1gamated interests of
this state are not beyond giving aid
and comfort to the enemy and that
We have Huns at home ito deal with
at all times. Miss Rankin was au-
tborized to do this work on behalf of
the Liberty Loan and did her part in
a noble manner The pro-Hun dai
ly press of the city of Butte refused
to give the meeting any publicity
such as isusually given by American
daily papers. In spite of this an
crowd of honest, hard
working people gathered to hear her
and substantial subscription for
the Liberty BOMB was made. The
common people are going to finance
this war as we'll as fight it and the
opposition to Liberty Bond speakers
by the old guard politicians will sure
ly seal their doom.
The sentiment of the commn
people at Butte and elsewhere was
well expressed by one husky miner
at Butte atthis meeting who said
Miss Rankin, I want to give this
money so they can hurry and clean
the Kaiser. Then we can start clean
At ;holne."
Miss Rankin was also prevented
from speaking for the Liberty Loan
by the petty politicians of Deer
Lodge, Montana. In this city they
refused her the use of any hall and
her speech by threats of
violence. Tt appears that the politi-
,al bosses of Western Montana are
aiding the German propaganda by
such illterferences with the Liberty
Loan and Federal Investigation may
De ordered.
At this time every American must
bend every effort to support the ad-
in the successful prose-
:ution of the war for Democracy.

THAT SAFETY PIN
IS ANTIQUE
known To Users 800 Years Before
Christian Era. Credited To
Queen Victoria

The safety pin and the hook and
eye are generally supposed to be mod
ern inventions. The former, in fact,
has been credited to Queen Victoria.
She may have improved upon it, but
certainly she is not entitled TO the dis
tinction of having invented it.
Numerous specimens of the useful
continuance have been found in the
ruins of Crete. Some of them are in
the museum of the University of
Pennsylvania, and the museum has
also a hook and eye from the same
place.
Both the safety pins and the hook
and eye now in the museum were
made at least 900 years before Christ
Some are made of bronze, but amber
or some other material was oftener
used on the more elaborate pins.
Some were. even made of finely
wrought gold.-Youth's Companion.
