WHICH is RIGHT:

Out of the muck throwing

siOnership has arisen one clearly
defined issue for the study of out
voters.
Has Mr.. Houston created a man
OF straw in raising the possibility
Of danger to the community from

Or is Mr.. Moore right in saying
over his signature that the /. w

The average citizen should moi
find difficulty in informing him
self on this matter. We have seen
the /. w. w. at close range and

Shall we take the |. w. w. Sc

That question has been offered
by both candidates and must be
answered at the polls.

A MOTHER FOR THE BOARD.

What is the most common SUBJ
ject of discussion around the sup
per table when the parents and
The children gather each eve
ming?
Perhaps you would say the
war. We disagree. We think il
| is the day at school. Six hours
each day in the school room is the
life of The children for nine
months in the year, and the
parents who are not interested in
that life are unworthy parents.
Thus we may agree that outside
the home the most vital interest
Iof parents and children lies in the
school. Since dad" is kept
pretty busy earning a living for
the family these days, it natural
ly falls TO mother to watch the
schools, to know the teachers, to
keep informed of everything that
goes on within that little world
within Missoula.
That is one reason and very
good one, we think, for elccting
ia mother to the school board.
There are many things in school
life that are more clear to the
vision of woman than a man.
Always in that sphere she finds
errors that he overlooks.
Let us elect TO the board Mrs.
Farnsworth, a clear-hcadcd, pub
lic-spirited and able woman. We
feel assured that she will
strengthen the board of school
trustees.

THE GREATEST BATTLE.

II is far too early to venture a
safe prediction with regard to the
extent or result of the great Ger
man offensive. Each of us feels
within his heart that it can not
win, and yet none OF us will not
say that this is crisis, such as
was never known in the worlds
history. We do not know wheth-
err it means the end of the war
within six months or the continu-
ance of it for years. Certainly, ii
cannot mean q German world VIC
tory, because even though the
Germans reach the English chan
mel, they must still face Great
Britain and the United States,
whose strength has been BARELY
tested.
The offensive has been on sew
en- days. The Germans pro-
crossed rapidly at first and now
with less speed, but still they arc
going ahead despite enormous
losses. We must admit that these
losses to considerable degree
must have been counted upon in
advance, and that the German
program did not contemplate
reaching Paris or the channel
coast for several weeks, at least.
Consequently we must conclude
that this offensive is now only
past its first stage. II must, We
believe, encounter tremendous
difficulties when the allies, who
have been Withdrawing in good
form, make a stand where their
whole strength will be offered in
resistance. No one knows just
when or where that stand will
be, but when il comes then will
be tug of war and the end OF
the struggle. II Germany fails to
oyerwhelm the allied armies in
France, she must then settle to a
defensive warfare to the end
Just now she is making ire
mendous fight against time, for
before her, looming larger every
hour, is the great republic of the
United States, girding itself like
a young giant to struggle for the
world supremacy of its ideals.

A QUESTION OF TASTE.

There was a precedent recent
ly established in the United
States navy when an American
destroyer, one of the new power
ful types, was named the Tatnall.
AT the time Of the christening"
d brief navy department statement
said that the ship was named for
Captain Josiah Tatnall, L. $. n,
who was with Decatur at Algiers,
who fought in the Mexican war,
and who went to the aid of the
British in the battle of pei-ho,
China.
But the statement did not say
that Captain Tatnall also was
Commodore Tatnall, who, in the
Civil war, commanded the Con-
federate ram, Merrimac.
The naming Of this craft after
an officer of the Confcdcracy in
dicates that probably other IA
nous Confederate officers will
be so remembered in the near fu-
ture. All Of which indicates that
the breach between the north and
the south, which led to the war,
and which has existed since. is
slowly healing. And that is well.
But there is some question as
to the good taste displayed in the
selection of such names for
American craft now. 1t cannot
be possible that all the worthy
Americans who adhered to the
cause Of the union in the Civil
war have been remembered in
the naming Of ships. Surely
there must be a few of such who
should receive first consideration

DRYING FRUITS QUICKLY.

You can use an electric fan to help
provide a cheap living with variety
of wholesome. clean. nourishing food,
An electric fan and a kitchen knife
are the only tools necessary. Drying
OF fruits can be done in home made
box trays, a table top, sheet, strings
(apples, pears, etc., and dozens of
other ways.
The United States department of ag-
l-iclIlture says: The American meth
OH has a marked advantage in that
the product keeps cool, owing to evap-
grafton while it Is being dried thus
tending to retain the color and elimi-
nate spoilage.'
Almost all the vegetables and fruits
can be treated and stored away-even
the most Juicy, like tomatoes. And,
besides, this new way of drying elimi-
mates the biggest part Of the work.
1t does away with lot of canning
and that's good, for jars and contain
ers are very scarce and high in price.
At odd times the housewife can
pick up choice bargains at the mar
kcts, prepare them in few minutes,
and the drying goes on while she at
tends to something else.

Is, though he has had hts day. He

baseball flourished in the city. --i.sis !.
Elmer first became attached to the
Highlanders when they were In spring
training In Hamilton in 1919. When
the team left that city for MissouIa to
begin the season Elmer followed tho
train for several miles. At Corvallis
a stop was made and Elmer was taken
aboard. From that time until the COM
pletion Of its history, Elmer was q
member of the Highlander club.
When the team disbanded. Elmer
became no mans dog. He wandered
the streets of Missoula, sleeping and
eating anywhere. In the end, Elmer's
tough life led him to the police court
where he was sentenced to death. His
reputation saved him, however, and he
was made the property of a Chinese
gardener on the condition that he
never return to Missoula. After that
Elmer dropped out of Missoula history.
For years he was not seen here. AS
