 Reports received here at state police headquarters for the district told of 2 general exodus of women and children from the enlbattled mining towns, the refugees either going to the hills not infested with riflemen or leaving the district altogether
 The few remaining inhabitants hud. died in lightless houses and tent col onies hoping in the darkness to fms safety from the hail of lead that has been poured out at intervals all day long.
 A number of refugee families hava made their way to this city.

Instead, the written order is pro-
duced and everybody shows his cards.
The responsibility is fixed.
The Importance of writing things
down was brought to the writer's at
tention a few months ago when he at
tended a convention of 200 specially
statesmen. The statesmen had ell been
complaining during the past year that
their territories tYwere not large
enough.
The sales manager had countered
these complaints by asserting that the
statesmen were not working their ter
ritories intensiveiy. At the eleventh
hour he proposed that the men put
their heads together and compile
list of businesses that might use the
company's product.
This list was so long that it opened
the eyes Of every salesman in the hall,
and everyone of them saw they hadn't
scratched the surface of their terri
tories.
The sales manager had this. list
printed, supplying several copies to
each man. It was a long time before
he had another request for a larger
territory. ,ul.s
Now this sales manager might have
talked these men blue in the face
about working their territories inten-
sively, but he would have gotten no.
where. When he wrote down his ar
guments he won his point.
Writing demands that one think
clearly, and very often one can think
out problem on paper better than
in ones head.
Sometime when you have particu-
larly knotty problem to solve, analyze
it on a piece of paper.
If you are puzzling over whether to
by a new piece of machinery, for in
stance. write down in one list all the
good things that can be said for the
deal. and on the other side all the bad
things that can be said against it.
This will often clarity your mind
and enable you to make q decision
clearly.
Old Ben Franklin was great man
for writing things down, and some OF
the best things he has left US, were
little things he wrote down for his
own personal guidance with no
thought Of handing them on to anyone
else.

Bell Ringing,
One of the Oldest
Christmas Customs
7Nf HAT would Christmas be with
VlVU out the melody of the bells
ringing good will toward men?

ringing g00Q Will toward men
Bell ringing Is one Of the Oldest Of
Christmas customs. At one time, In
England, the ringers gave their serv-
ices free, nor would they accept any
special payment. The peal was rung
as q matter of course, and was the
natural expression Of English joyous
ness. The merry music of the bells In
Great Britain and wherever churches
have peals of bells, is today as much
a feature Of Christmas as the decOra-
ton Of church and home with ever
green's, or the provision of the good
cheer which always marks this festive
season.
What an outcry there would be II
an edict were issued forbldding the
ringing of the bells during the coming
festive season! Yet this was actually
done during the Commonwealth, for
in 1852 the wise men of parliament
gave orders that mo observation shall
be had Of the fve-and-twentieth day
of December, commonly called Christ
mas day."
1t is quite certain that this edict
was disregarded in many places, while
in others it led to open rioting. At
Canterbury the mayor of the city tried
to enforce the new rule, but the people
were not going to be deprived of their
pleasures so easily, so they took, the
law into their own hands, broke the
mayors windows-and some Of his
bones as well-and affirmed their in
tention of keeping their Christmas In
their own fashion, just as their fathers
had done before them.

Voices Of
the Bells
(m HERE is neither speech nor
VI language, but their voices are
heard among men," This Is


heard among men," This Is
an inscription engraved. upon one Of
the bells in q tower in Antwerp, Bel
GUM, in 1868, but, long before this
date, voices of bells had told to human
ity their tales of gladnesS or sadness,
OF threatened danger or safety
achieved, and always the world uI-
derstOod and responded to mood or
emergency as the case might have
been.
For centuries church bells have told
the ever-new, old story Of the Christ
Child. For weeks before the sacred
day arrives wild rush of preparation.
leaves little time for reflection. In
these busy hours Changing bells Of i'm
patient street cars spur the pedestrian
to heroic efforts and startle the pre-
occupied shopper out Of some absorb
ing reverie. This is the time when
fatigue and happiness go hand in
hand, and many an exhausted mother,
nodding on her homeward ride, hears
the ripple Of baby laughter and the
patter Of hurrying feet above the rau-
cOuS noises attending her trip. Fa-
ther, with his arms piled high, looks
over the crowd with far-away express
sion, seeing only the one paramount
incident of the Christmas revelation,
and starry eyes that will turn toward
him with a deeper lorellght written In
their shining depths. 1t is this mar
velous hour toward which the whole
world moves with one concerted mo-
tive, and in its hailowCd JOY reViveS
the spirit that IS the foundation Of a
nations greatness.
When the bells of Christmas morn
peal their tidingS of "Peace and Good
Will" it will be TO world waiting
to receive the message; = world that
has been hurried and excited and in
>terested. but which has al unconscl-
ously been acquiring a spirit /en rap
port with the burden of their CHM
ing. All the stress Of living and Striv-
ing. all the hurts and the sorrows are
sOftencd by the benediction of the
bells. Deeper reverence for life and
a fuller appreciation of the love that
surrounds us is reused by their Gule-
tide music. They call to all that is
best and lovelieSt and we answer by
an outpouring of Christmas spirit, a
keener sense of human brotherhood
and a closer knitting Of family ties.
While they have neither speech nor
language" they tell marvellous story,
q story that we understand, and we
live better for that understanding

CARPENTER MAKES PLEA FOR
WILD LIFE I'M OUR MOUNTAINS

An eloquent plea in behalf of Mon
tana wild life was made recently by
NJ. S. Carpenter, secretary of the
Montana State Sportsmen's associa-
ton, who spoke in the council cham
Der at the city hall under the aus
pices of the Anaconda Anglers club.
Carpenter stated he believed one
of the great causes which have con-
tributed to the depletion OF Mon
tana's valuable wild life is the fact
that sportsmen had permitted them
selves to believe that back in the
rough places Of the state, back in
what had for years been termed the
remote Places" there existed an
abundance of wild life of every sort
and kind and that by destroying such
of the wild life as came out within
the reach of the sportsmen's guns no
real extinction of any of the valuable
species was being brought about. And
he told how. with the advent of the
automobile, these once remote places
had been made accessible within a
very few hours and the sportsmen
were face to face with the great task
