Now and then some department of the gov
eminent happens to become self-supporting By
an act of June A. 1920 the branch of the state de-
partment issuing passports and vises has been
enabled to show profit instead of deficit. Fig

running expenses but showed profit of $1,000

A. CORRECTION

In last weeks Democrat we pub
lished reply from the Bonded Ware
house Co., to a petition presented to
them by the farmers of this section,
and by accident made a very serious
misprint. In giving the number Of
bales of cotton received up until Tues.
Sept. 9Th, we gave the number Of
bales Of strict low as 154, which should
have read 154 bales Of middling. In
other words the figures turned in to
us were as follows:
4: bales of good middlins.
81 bales Of strict middling.
l54 bales Of niddlins.
,, 2 bales of strict low.
A total Of SIS bales on that date.
We regret very much that this error
went through the paper, but only those
who know something Of the printing
business realize how easily an error
like this can get by. We are always
willing to confess that we are not i'm
mme from making mistakes.

and a past banner to the local post Of
the American Legion, which was given
as a memorial to the ex-service men
of this parish. The banner contains
the name, number, location and legion

In speaking of the gift, DR.: w. l.
Atkins stated, that every member of
the Legion and all ex-service men felt
indebted to the dOners, not so much
because Of its great value from a none
tary standpoint, but for the sentiment
it conveys, and for what it means now
and will mean in years to came to the
boys who responded to the Country:
call in the great crisis.
The flag and the banner are OF the
best material, and the boys are looh
ing forward to Armistice day, at whicl
time they can put them on parale,

ginning of another school year in Bien-
vile parish, and a large number OF
patrons attended the opening exercises

Many improvements were noted in

completed. Fans in the auditorium
have recently been installed which add
, greatly to the comfort of the room,
especially when it is crowded with PEG.
pie. The stage is being rearranged and
foOtlights are being added. A new

on the improvement program.

ich is going to add quite a little

A six foot concrete culvert Is being

more pupils enrolled as soon as crop,
are gathered, and expects the total en-
rollment to reach 500 or more very
soon. W -
The growth of the school is of course
highly gratifying to the faculty bu
it presents serious problem just now
as the seating capacity of the presen
building is already taxed and will b.
until the new building is completed how
to take care Of the increased enroll
ment will be a problem. However W.
trust to the good Judgment and ability
Of Prof. Wagner and faculty to find s
way to take care of the situation sue
cessfully.

A big dinner was served in the din

day evening at $50, to those who
have been working in the Bozeman
Deaconess Hospital forward love-
ment drive. The ten days campaign
raising funds to pay off the indebt-
edness of the hospital was checked up
and it was found the total reached
was nearly $4,000. This is only
about one-third the amount set by the
board of directors to be subscribed.
The week was a busy one for those
who have been doing the actual solic-
iting, with 365 names secured to
cards for an average of $50 each.
Many gave larger sums than had been
expected OF them, and the small con-
tributions were especially large in
number. The larger contributions
were not as good as was hoped for,
although they reached a good sum-.
There were a large number of peo-
pie on the list of prospects who were
not visited by the soliciting commit
tees. These will be called upon dur
ing the coming week, and the work
Of securing funds will go on in {
quiet way for the rest of this month

living outside of Bohemian will b

edge of governmental affairs, in Ian
