DRUG TRAFFIC

Observation-Disclosures w. H. Beacon
of this city has received a commun-
ication from the Invisible Empire
Knights of the Ku Klux Khan, in
which the organization offers it's sup
port to the officers of the city in
their crusade to suppress the sale OF
narcotics in the city. The aid of the
order is offered in the following copy
of resolutions received by the mayor:
Whereas, our fair city of Missoula
has been made the scene of outrageous
and fragrant contempt for and disre-
gard of the laws of the United States,
and more particularly for those laws
relating to the unlawful sale of death
dealing and habit-forming drugs, of
the nature of opium, cocaine, morphine,
heroin, etc., and
Whereas, the officers of the law
seem to be unable at the present time
to sufficiently curb this traffic in our
city, and are powerless to secure the
conviction of those who are openly
and VIGOROUSLY evading this law, and
whereas, u organization stands
the enforcement of the law and
believes in the vigorous prosecution,
through proper channels, of those men
in our community who care so little
for public decency and morals, as to
attempt to distribute these drugs
through illicit channels, thus seeking
to degrade the morals of our people:
now, therefore,
BE it resolved, that we, members

A Birthday Supper.

Last Thursday. November the ninth
| was sitting by the table writing
when ] heard a loud rap at the door
| thought it was one of the neighbors
so l said "Come in," and went on
working. 1t sounded again but this
time much louder. My brother went
to the door and the first thing |
heard was, "%Surprise."
This exclamation came from a party
of happy girls who had come to sur
prise me as it was my birthday.
The girls came at seven and they
couldn't stay any later than $3.50 so
we had to make the best of our time.
We played across Questions and
Silly Answers" until we got tired of
it. The girls all spanked me four
teen times that is counting the one
to grow on but some of them hit so
hard that it really hurt.
AS soon as mother had put the baby
to sleep she began popping the pop
corn. The girls had brought pea
nuts and apples with them and mother
made some fudge.
Inez Chase and her sister gave me
a pair of the most beautiful red
beads and Alice Britzman and her sis
ters gave me a very pretty blue hair
ribbon. 1t would be hard to tell which
l liked best because II vas Just as
nice as the other one.
After lunch the children all went
home. We all had a nice time

but his
ut was a cause for grief and accu-
sations of injustice when the British
installed their own fire system in
Pera. By the time the Turks come
painting down the street to bargain,
the British have the fire out and are
driving away.
Byzantium Walls Still Stand.
"The walls that inclosed Byzantium
and saved civilization for a thousand
years are still standing, and consti.
tute, with the exception of Sancta So
phia, the most interesting historical
monument in Turkey.
"The impression produced by these
battered and lonely ruins is ineradi-
cable. The lines of walls and towers
still stretch out as far as the eye
can see, rising and falling, tinted from
dark brown to ochre and gray, some
times covered with vegetation. They
are barbaric, threatening, mournful.
Modern C~onstantinople is forgot
ten as n tries to imagine what these
barriers seemed like to the hordes of
barbarians who came every few years,
looked at those miles of moated and
turreted walls and then turned back.
Snow gypsies and refugees live here
and there in the ruins that extend for
five miles across the isthmus, from
the Sea of Marmora to the Golden
Horn. They rob the gardens which
are cultivated in the old meats, and
watch with establishment the OCCASION

walls of Theodosius H."

SCHOOLS REACHED BY MOTOR

Eighteen thousand rural schools are
furnishing transportation for pupils to
and from their homes. Through the
motor bus the consolidated rural school
is made possible and the number of
consultations is going forward at the
rate of about 1000 per year. There are
still 100000 one-room schools which
should be consolidated. Since a con-
solidated school combines several ad-
jacent school districts into one school
it means a larger and better equipped
school house. Since in the one-room
rural school one teacher teaches all
grades from the kindergarten to the
eighth grade, while in the consolidated
school each teacher i~nstructs but two
or three grades, this means fewer and
more highly qualified teachers and
better teaching.

Miss Patterson from Pennsylvania
Visits Us,

vASltS vs..
Miss Henrietta Patterson visited oul
school room Friday, November 10, and
told us many useful things about
Pennsylvania. She let us ask her any
questions we wished. She came from
C~laysville, Penn, about 80 miles from
Pittsburg. She is IA years old anc

can read the finest writing and read
the longest letters" She is of Scotch
Irish nationality and was born in
1848. Her sister was a missionary
to the Sioux Indians in Oklahoma in
1889 and continued this work until
she died not very long ago. She has a
brother called Daniel Webster Patter-
son living on a ranch 60 miles south
of here on the Missouri river.
Miss Patterson said they had oak.
maple, elms, hickory and chestnut
trees in Penn. She also said Carnegie,
the man who gave us our public Ii
brary, lived in Pittsburg near her
home, but he is now dead.
"There is a very damp and much
more unhealthful climate in Penn.
than there is here" said Miss Pat
%terson, land many people come out
to your country because it is so dry
and healthful."
She said the leaves had not fallen
off many of the trees in Pennsylvania.
"They have all kinds of fruit" she
said, but added hastily, mot the kind
of fruits which grow in Florida of
course, but apples, peaches, pears,
plums and grapes. We tap the maple
trees in the month of February and
someone has to watch the buckets all
the time so that they will not run

are put into holes bored into the trees.

CONSTANTINOPLEH HAS
A FIRES

Smyrna burned and the world was
startled.
Constantinople is partly burned
but the world has forgotten about it.
traces of the fires that swept Bal
timore and Chicago have been obliter-
ated; but not so with disastrous blazes
that charred whole sections of the
Turkish city which just now is very
much a center of world attention."
says a bulletin from the Washington,
D. c., headquarters of the National
Geographic society, based on a COM
munication from Solita Solano.
"The devastating fires that have
ever been working toward the des-
truction of Constantinople caused the
city to be built anew every fifty years
until a law vas passed prohibiting
the construction of wooden houses on
the site of burned ones; in fact it vas
provided that no houses at all should
be built until the city government
planned new streets.
A Fourth of STEAMBOAT in Ashes.
Nothing has been done about the
planning, however. and the result is
that one-fourth of Stamboul-more
than $4,000 houses, burned during the
past II years-still lies i nashes. Sou
tart, too, has vast ruined sections. So
has Pera, On a much smaller scale.
when a fire starts in STEAMBOAT it
nearly always assumes frightful pro-
portions. In the fire of 1908, $500
buildings were destroyed; in that of
1911, 2,643 houses, and the following
day an entire Jewish quarter burned;
in 1912 an immense area between
Sancta and the Marmora was con-
sumed. The fire of June, 1918, burned
5000 buildings, clearing a space from
the Golden Horn through the center
OF the city. These fires are enormous
ly destructive because of the narrow
streets, wooden houses and volunteer
firemen, who go answer the call on
foot, carrying a pump on their Shout
ders.
Fife Fighting by the Tipping System
The firemen of Constantinople are
worth a story in themselves. Unpaid
Tor their services, they reason like
this:
"If we don't go to this fire, the
owner will lose all his belongings. If
we go, and take some of them home
with us and leave some to him, is he
not better off than if we hadn't come
at all? We give our services free of
charge; the owner must give us bak-
shlsh II ne wants US to risk our lives
for him.
"'We get to the fire and quickly as
we can run, and if the owner does
consent to give us money at once,
SO we can get to work, the fire will !

SPEAKING FILMS OF GERMAN
MANUFACTURE UNSTABLE

cess has crowned the efforts of Ger
mar inventors at producing a speak
ing" film, it is foreseen that reels of
this kind can never supplant the or

The handicap is obvious, since a film
produced in German could hardly be
expected to find a market abroad
where the language would be suffi-
GENTLY understood to make it's show

Promoters of the invention see a
possibility, however, of some day max
ing this type of film eliminate the ne

The Seventh Grade Boys and Their
Troubles.
The boys of the seventh grade are
going around like so many lost sheep.
Our football is broken and we are
waiting for it to be fixed. 1t has
only been broken a week but it seems
like a year. We cut in and play with
the other grades every once in a
while but we are always made to stop.
Well o. have ours fixed and then
won't we feel fine.-Howard Haynes.
The first grade has finished decor
ating their room for Thanksgiving.
They have potatoes with paper wings,
tails, heads and necks and toothpick
legs to represent turkeys in the win
dows. On one board is drawn a log
cabin among some trees. At the end
Of the woods is a lake with a canoe
on it. W. also see some Puritans go
ing to church.-Lilah Alderman.
Some blttersWeet was brought to
school last Tuesday. The berry is the
shape of a cotton ball. The vine
twines along the fence like a grape
vine. The blossoms are about the
size Of a rose. The stem is about
twelve inches in circumference. The
berries are red, and soft all winter.
1t looks very pretty as you drive
along the woods in the winter time
and see the birds gathered around
these bushes eating the berries. A
story is told about how the bitter
sweet got it's name. 1t is said that a
prince was once riding in a carriage
and say this growing by the road
side. She got off and picked some.
She tasted it and found it was quite
bitter. She thought it was so sweet
looking that it ought to be called bit
tersweet. So it was.-Evayln Michel.
