For this reason he persuaded Sem

there is a good opportunity he may

president of the National League
of Women, Voters, said today In
urging all women to go to the
polls. y
"The man or woman who fails
to vote should have white feather
pinned on" said Mrs. Park. Men
and women who will not vote are
betraying their country--they are
doing all they can to destroy de-

elections are decided by the minor
ity, no country with a great body
OF voters too lazy to take part in

GREAT FALLS COMMERCIAL
CLUB.

con to Great Falls, December 12-
16, 1922, is the slogan adopted by the
Great Falls Poultry and Rabbit Show.
Many poultry fanciers, breeders and
exhibitors Of the northwest are plaan-
ming to attend the ninth annual poul-
try exhibit to be held in Great Falls.
A. j. Hedrix, show manager, says
that ten of the leading breed clubs of
the state have designated the Great
Falls show to be their official show,
which means a large exhibit of birds.
The national and state representa-
tives of these clubs are cooperating
in every way possible to get out a
large and selective showing of their
respective breeds. The best in the
northwest will compete for the lib
eral cash prizes, silver cups, and the
blue, sweepstake and grand cham
pion ribbons, says Mr.. Hedrix.
Two very capable poultry men, A.
c. Smith, professor of poultry, Uni
versity of Minnesota Farm, and H.
H. Collier, of Tacoma, Washington.
will serve as judges. These judges
are known to many poultry breeders.
Support is given the show locally
by the Commercial Club, various
luncheon clubs, county and city Off
Gals and the citizenship in general
thus making the success of the show
assured.

THE INCREASING USE OF
CANDLES.

Most everyone has the idea that
the use Of cndles is diminishing. But
such is not the case. 1t is genera
ally supposed that when oil lamps,
and later, electric lights, came into
use, candles were thrown in the dis
card. It may surprise most people
to know that the use of candles is
growing every year, but of course
they are not the same style or used
in the same manner as in the days of
old.
One of the latest candles to come
into use is the large red Yuletide
candle to be burned in the window on
Christmas eve. This custom dates
back many years and is founded on
an old English folk-story or legend.
1t was believed at this time, and of
course they had no street lights then,
that the Christ Child came to visit
the earth on Christmas eve, and the
candles were lighted and placed in
the windows to light Him on his way.
The custom prevailed in this coun-
try in the old days, but had almost
died out when it received a renewed
impetus severay years ago. This not
