Nou it's the
manufacturers
turT---

Last month NJ. & K. gave what was
called by one of our patrons the So
ciety event of the season. By this she
meant that the greatest sale OF wo-
mans apparel the Tri-citles have seen
IN many month was IN progress and
that the beautiful styles shown, COM
bined with the exceptional values Of
fered, had attracted an enormous
crowd of people to our store.
This merchandising success was ac-
compished by marking coats, suits,
dresses, blouses, ETC., at a fraction of
their worth, at considerably less than
their cost combined with the expense
encountered IN selling. The result was
that in a few days our stocks became
depleted. NJ. & K, of course, lost
money through this sale. But In the
end, M. & K. gained much.
Buyers were dispatched to New
York. AS they had expected, they
were able to buy an entirely new stock
of new models, of choicest styles, of
finest fabrics, at great reductions in
price as compared with the early sea-
son wholesale costs. Although these
buyers have just returned from the
market, much of the new merchandise,
coats and dresses especially, IS already
here.
M. & K. is giving perpetual party
these days; it is offering extreme val
ues. But the manufacturers are pay
ing the bills. 1t is their turn.

COLLEGE BOYS AID
GIVEN TO ARMENIA
Montana Students in Spirited
Drive; State Responds to Call
for Food and Funds.

Real college pep" and ingenuity are
being injected in characteristic Mon
tana style into Montana's own par.
ticular plan for helping to bring back
life and hope into the Bible lands
nightmare of famine and despair.
To a sympathetic young army of
Montana Agricultural College boys at
Bozeman, much credit is given by State
Director Alexander Pringle of the Near
East Relief, for forcing Gallatin county
out into an early lead with gifts of
wheat and cash that will result in saw
ing the lives of hundreds of famished
children in the cropless Near East.
After carrying the appeal of the
Near East to practically every school
in the Gallatin valley, with short talks
to the teachers and pupils, and distri-
buting cards for pledges of aid, this
group of Montana college boys, enthusi-
astic in the new realization of what
organized themselves for further serv-
ice into the College Students Near
East Relief Committee. w. J. Bennett,
209 South Tracy street, Bozeman, is
chairman and w. L. Lyndon, 314 South
Fifth, Bozeman is secretary-treasurer.
Montana's campaign for gifts of
wheat for Near East Relief is headed
by Chester Davis, state secretary of
agriculture, and nearly every Montana
county that raised any wheat this year
is rallying to the relief of Armenia
and her stricken neighbor countries.
In the Near East crops were COM
plete failure. Now, great masses have
been cut off by winter snow from their
only food supply of withered grass and
roots, upon which they fed like cattle
during the summer, and more than
three hundred thousand orphan chill
dren are struggling gamely against
starvation. Their only hope is in
speedy American aid.
Even in Montana counties, where
crops were practical failure,
hundreds of people, who are facing a
serious problem of their own, are
sharing what little they have, through
state headquarters of the Near East
Relief, at 5 Montana building, Helena,
with those vastly poorer sufferers in
the Near East, who have absolutely
nothing.

New Year festivities, adding couple
Of Christmas celebrations for good

the Washington headquarters of the
National Geographic society.
"Our American might start his pro-
gressive holiday jaunt by going to
some western European country for
the approaching New Year which the
United States too will celebrate. He
could then travel to Greece, Jugo-
Slavia, Rumania, or Bulgaria in time
for Christmas in those countries.

months of sightseeing before reach
ing Arabia for the Mohammedan
New Year on September 4. He could
then cross the Red Sea and make
quick journey into Abyssinia to take
part in the New Year festivities of
that country on September 10. Re-
turning to the Red Sea and taking
steamer north he could easily reach
Jerusalem in good time for the He
brew New Year. October 3.
"The holiday hunter would now have
taken part in all the principal New
Year celebrations of the world and
could return to the Western hemis-
phere to spend the Christmas with
which he is most familiar at his own
hearth side. In six days less than
year he would have chalked up
seven New Year and two Christmas
celebrations to his credit.
"The worlds multiplicity Of New
Year Days and Christmastides is due
to the fact that our calendar is largely
an arbitrary device. The earth re-

as difficult to choose q logical be-

peoples have selected different start

year to be Of slightly different lengths.
This has not only resulted in the
years beginning at different times
but has also caused the times Of be-
ginning to vary in their relations to
one another from year to year 1t is
as though a clock had half dozen or
more hands all moving around the

IA Plea for County Children
BY Geo. D. Riley, County Supt.
of Education.

We hope that you read State
Superintendent Bonds letter
Slast week in which he stated
that only three counties in the
Estate had not levied a local
cOunty levy for schools. and, IF
Chickasaw county, or any other
.c0unty in the state now having
= levy for public schools does
away with their levy this fall
such counties will not receive
any part Of the floating fund. /"
Friends. too much is involved
lin this issue to let personalities,
4politics or friendships enter into
it. The children of the rural
districts of Chickasaw county
are as good as any children on
the face Of the earth and are
entitled to the same school ad
vantages as the children of other
fdistricts and other counties but
their interest is in jeopardy.
et me plead with you to lay
lde all personal feelings in this
after and consider only the
Welfare of your children. Many
Counties in our state paid more
Fthan three mills for schools be.
fore the state had a floating flu nd
all except three counties are now
fpaying a county school levy.
many of them as high as six
smills and many separate and
consolidated school districts pay
tiDg as high as twenty mills.
Can we feel that we have done
fthe very best possible for our
children, in the face of these
facts, if we vote off the three
mill levy? Have we done our
part toward making the school
| advantages the same as nearly
jail the children of Mississippi |
sare receiving? We realsze that
taxes are high, we feel the bur-
|den as you do, but can we afford
to begin on the children when
|they are receiving so little?
