wonder why these jobless folks do
not go out into country towns.
There are still farmers in many
sections of the country who are
unable to get reliable help. Ere
quently men will work for them
for a day or two and then get
tired with the muscular effort and
quietly slip out of sight. Whv Go
they not stay in the country in
stead of herding into the cities?
This is a question frequently
asked.
While the majority of these job
less people really want to work,
there are many who would not
take a job involving hard effort i
it were offered them. Some have
physical or mental defects, am
some have ruined their health by
dissipation.
Many industrious workers who
are earnestly seeking real JOB,
make mistake when they resort
to the big cities without any def
mite idea what they will do when
they get there. They fall in with

HOW TO TRAP A CATALO(


The passion of the Far West
for mail order catalogues has been
notorious for years. 1t used to De

to winter quarters equipped with
a barrel of salt pork and a volume
of Sears-Roebuck and be sure OF

anathema and then some. The
storekeepers of Missoula, accord

by the merchants of Missoula in

Mrs Ada Tyler. former wife of Mon

Ward, merchant of this city, for money
which she says she advanced him to get
a divorce from his former wife in order
that he might marry her. She charges
that he took the money. obtained a

$4.250. She says she did not know that
he already was a married man when
she first agreed to become his wife,
She waited from December Is, 1918,
until April for the wedding. Then Ward
informed her that he had a wife from
whom he was separated. He assured
her that he would get divorce if he
had the funds.
Mrs. Tyler says that she supplied the
money upon Wards promise to repay
her. About 500 was used for Shadow
