SHERM WOULD HAVE
FAVORED THE LEAGUE

General Sherman's often quoted
statement regarding war, is not
known by many in its entirety.
Here is what the general really did
say, and it is a classic:
81 confess without shame that I
am tired and sick of war. Its glory
is all m%oonshine. Even success, the
most brilliant, is over dead and
mangled bodies, the anguish and la
mentation of distant families ap-
pealing to me for missing sons, hus-
bands and fathers. 1t is only those
who have not heard a shot nor
heard the shrieks and groans ofthe
wounded and lacerated, that cry
aloud for more blood, more VEN
geance, more ~desolation. War is
hell!'

NAT PROMISES HELP

In a letter to C. F. Blaich, Sen
ator H. L. Myers says he will do
everything possible to bring about
the adoption, by the United States
Land Office, of Mr.. Blaich's plan to
expedite the process of giving reser-
walton settlers title to their land and
thus enable them to make govern
ment loans in time to purchase seed
and spring supplies.
Mr.. Blaich's plan is to have the
general land office send the patents
of settlers who have proved up, to
the Glasgow Office where the home
steader could apply for a federal
loan to complete the payments on
the land and have a balance left to
purchase seed and other necessities.
The senator is not at all sure what
can be done about the scheme but
promises to take the matter up in
earnest with the land commissioner.

EVERYBODY HELP GET
FULL ACCURATE CENSUS

Charles Gordon and John Erick-
son have received notice of their
appointment as census enumerators
for Wolf Point. They will begin
their duties on January 2 and are
required to complete the census of
the city in two weeks.
Secretary Foor of the Commercial
club wishes to say to any who ex-
pect to be absent from the city dur
ing the period of January 2 to 1T
that if they will come to his office
before leaving the city that he will
take from them the data necessary
to get their names on the census
roll. 1t is exceedingly desirable
that a full and accurate count of the
population of the city be made and
the careful cooperation of everyone
is requested.

POSTPONED MEETING
OF NORTHSIDE VOTERS

Owing to the short time in which
to advertise it, and to other affairs
coming on the same night, the
meeting of Northside voters called
to meet at the Masonic building
last Friday night was very poorly
attended. 1t was decided not to
make any selection for aldermen,
but to advertise another meeting to
be held Saturday evening, January
3 at eight o'clock in the Northside
schoolhouse.
The Northside has been posted
with placards announcing the meet
ing. 1t is very desirable that there
be a large and representative attend
ance so that two members of the city
council who are acceptable to the
majority of the voters may be
chosen.

TABLET MADE FROM
THE MAINE RECEIVED

The application made by Secre-
tary Foor for one of. the tablets
struck by the government in com
memoration of the Maine disaster
has been granted and the tablet is
now in the secretary's office. The
tablet, which is about IL by 16 inch
es in size, and bronze in color is
made of metal salvaged from the
sunken battle ship. 1t is designed
by a noted sculptor and shows Lib
erty in an attitude of grief locking
toward the bow and masts of the
nearly submerged vessel in the dis
tance. 1t is the intention that the
tablet be set in a suitable monument
in the Park reserve.

ON NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

Every first of January that we ar
rive at is an imaginary milestone on
the turnpike track of human life; at
once a resting place for thought and
meditation, and a starting point for
fresh exertion in the performance of
our journey. The man who does not
at least propose to himself to be bet
ter this year than he was last, must
be either very good or very bad, in
deed! And only to propose to be bet
TT is something; if nothing else it is
an acknowledgement of u need to
be so, which is the first step towards
amendment. But, in fact, to propose
to oneself to do we'll, is in some sort
to do well, positively, for there is no
such thing as a stationary point in
human endeavors; he who is not
worse today than he was yesterday,
is better; and he who is not better,
is worse.-Charles Lamb.

MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR
BROTHER VAN"

A service of more than usual in.
terest was that held on Sunday eve
ming at the M. E. church, in memory
of Rev. w. w. Van Orsdel, D. D.,
Superintendent of the Milk River
District, who passed away Dec. 10
at the Deaconess Hospital at Great
Falls. There is no question that he
was the best known and best loved
man in the state of Montana. He
was best known as Brother Van,"
and by that term he was Familiarity
and lovingly hailed wherever he
went.
Judge Gordon was unable to be
present, but sent in writing a fine
tribute to the mar that he knew so
we'll. He first met Brother Van"
back in '88, when he was in the
prime of his strength and vigor. Mr..
H. A. S%choening spoke of Brother
Van" as a character builder and of
the profound influence that his life
and example had upon the world and
lives about him. The pastor also
spoke briefly of his work as a min
lister and missionary and told many
Incidents of his interesting and
eventful career. The songs used
those Brother Van" loved so we'll,
Faith of Our Fathers" "The
Church in the Wildwood" and "The
Sweet Bye and Bye"
We never know how much such a
life means to us until he is taken
away. He will be missed by the en-
tire church at large and also in the
smaller communities where his COM
ing was Away a blessing and a bene-
diction. He left as his message to
the people, "Tell them to hold on to
and to his brethren in the
ministry, "Tell them to be faithful,
full of the Holy Ghost, and preach
the Gospel. Tell them I died at my
post. Tell them all that | love them
all my heart" He will always
live in the memory of those who
him.

Volt Correspondent Tells of Wiscon-
sin Man Who Fears Tigers and
7O-Below Weather Here
(From Last Week

Some of our Volt friends tried tc
sell their land around Volt. The first
answer that came was from a mar
who claimed that he could have had
Montana land for nothing 20 years
ago. The next reply is given just
as it appeared.
Bayfield,, Wis, Dec. 6, 1919
Dear Sir: l received your inquiry
about my place. SO you want to
trade? / don't think it would work.
| never had any desire to live in
Montana. And your letter was mail
ed at Wolf Point. That scares me
to read it. Me move out where there
was wolves, bears, moose, buffaloes,
tigers and all that! (He must think
this is a circus instead of a grain
country.) 1 would get snake bit the
first summer, and | guess it gets for
cold about 70 below. (He ought to
sample the weather we are having
now.) | know a school teacher who
came back from out there and said
snow got up to 80 feet deep some
places and folks wouldn't get out
until spring, and that once the snow
didn't go away until the next winter.
(And then he goes on and tells about
his five-cent chicken ranch he wants
to trade.)
This is some boosting for Mon
tana, isn't it? But it isn't always
meant for everybody to live in Mon
tana when he buys land here, but if
once tried, Montana is hard to beat.
AS to what that school teacher has
told him-well, we hate to say any
thing about school teachers, but they
are, as a rule, windy. Experience
is our best teacher"
Prof. Gross has disappeared, and
who knows what he will say about
MS homestead. Prof. Woldt expects
to go to Canada for Christmas, so
hat you can imagine that what he
say nobody will hear.
Well, boys, don't lose courage,
got a good crop coming, and
hen we sure will take a crack at
some of those fellows who always
hear things about Montana and
never go to see what it is like.

A FISH STORY

Chicago Herald and Examiner.)
Put one hundred men on an is
land where fish is a staple article of
sustenance. Twenty-Five of the men
catch fish. Twenty-Five others
clean the fish. Twenty-Five cook
the fish. Twenty-Five hunt fruit
and vegetables. The entire company
eats what thus is gathered and pre-
pared.
So long as everybody works,
there is plenty. All hands are happy
Ten of the allotted fish catchers
stop catching fish.
Ten more dry and hide part of
the fish they catch.
Five continue to catch fish, but
work only part of the day at it.
Fewer fish go into the commun-
ity kitchen.
But the same number of men in
sist upon having the same amount
of fish to eat as they had before.
The fifty men who formerly
cleaned and cooked the fish have
less to do owing to the undersupply
of fish. But they continue to de-
mand food.
Gradually greater burdens are
laid upon the fruit and vegetable
hunters. These insist upon a larger
share of fish in return for their
larger efforts in gathering fruit and
vegetables. 1t is denied them and
soon twenty of the twenty-five quit
gathering fruit and vegetables.
But the entire one hundred men
continue to insist upon their right
to eat.
The daily food supply gradually
shrinks. The man with two fish de-
mands three bananas in exchange
for one of them. The man with two
bananas refuses to part with n for
fewer than three fish.
Finally the ten men remaining at
work quit in disgust. Everybody
continues to eat. The hidden fish
are brought to light and consumed.
Comes a day when there is no food
of any kind. Everybody on the ISL
and blames everybody else.
What would seem to be the solu-
ton? Exactly! We thought you
would guess it.
For we repeat that you can't eat,
buy, sell, steal, give away, hoard,
wear, use, play with or gamble with
WHAT ISN'T.

Their Day of oreamed-of Pleasure.

dren who had been too recently Op- erated upon or who could not leave their beds sat up as best they could to hear of the news of the outside world.
 Little white-clad figures listened to the glowing accounts brought to them of the great life which went on beyond the ward
 And for every little child who had to stay in the hospital, Gertrude Hard ing had brought small present, only a tritiing one, but a remembrance from the great world.
 Then the hospital rules which had been lifted for a few minutes after the ones who had been out so late had come back, were in order again. and soon there would come sleep.
 When she got home that evening, tired but very, very happy, she said to herself:
 "There are born mothers. yes! And there are born children. too! Chi]- uren WHO Heeu to De lONeu dS IuuCl as women who need children to love. And though there is difference between those of ones very own, and those who are not, it seems as though no one who is a "born mother" should go through life. walking blindly by the many inOtherless children.
 For every childless mother there is a mOtherless child to whom one can give some of the love and interest and the pride which would otherwise go to waste"
 In her sleep she seemed to hear the Christmas carol which the hospital lad had sung and she knew what had been revealed to her
 She had travelled into the land of children at Christmas time and had smiled the smile that can be smiled when one gets look at the heart of a child!

nothing of. They must just let us go along and share our secret together, eh?"
 And then the clown beat upon his drum and the children all marched .stiffly behind.
 When a magnificent Santa Claus asked the children to sing with him and the voices of the hospital children sang out with the rest Gertrude Hard- ing felt herself swelling with pride.
 Later when Santa Claus perceived that one of the hospital children had an unusually lovely voice he asked him to sing alone.
 And there in the shop he sang, sang with the thrill of happiness that Il bird sings with when first he feels the warmth and sweet fragrance of the spring.
 He had never been asked to sing be- fore like this-in a big shop where people were and where people listened to him, not because he was being viS- ited in hospital and must do his part to entertain the visitors. but because somehow or other they liked his voice.
 It rang out true and strong. He shifted the crutch which he had never been without and which he would nev- CT be without to the end of his days. and then he was asked to sing an en- core.
 His face was flushed with the pleas ure of doing something which was liked in this big outside world.
 He looked at Santa Claus and beaned
 He had already sung popular song which he had learned from the squeak ing talking machine which someone had given the hospital when it was no longer fit for the home, and now he thought he would sing something bet ter. Somehow he felt it would be proper, and vaguely perhaps he felt it would show a gratitude for Christmas that went deeper. Dimly he thought these things.
 Someone had taught them a hymn in the hospital, hymn which he had always loved. It made one feel bet ter, stronger. happier somehow. It was very glorious hymn he had al- ways thought.
 And he sang:
 Ut came upon the midnight clear,
 That glorious song of old
 From angels bending near the earth
 To touch their harps of gold;
 Peace on the earth. good will to men.
 From heavens all-gracious king;
 The world in solemn stiffness lay
 To hear the angels sing"
 Right to the end of the hymn he sang and the people thanked him and Santa Claus told him it had been love- iy and gave him man-like clap on the back
 Gertrude Harding had felt a lump in her throat and had smiled with eyes that were misty.
 So the angels did bend near the earth-even in these days-and even over hospitals where crippled and i'll children were. It was the humans. not the angels, who forgot and who went through life not thinking!
 Back to the hospital she took the children late, late that afternoon. The hospital was in semi-darkness. Chil-
