Several inches of sno fell in Boze-
man and vicinity Tuesday night, the
precipitation following a decided
rise in temperature. Farmers are
taking advantage If the snow and
the warmer weather to haul their
wheat to the local elevators and to
the railroad yards for shipment. A
large percentage of the wheat is be-
ing hauled to town loose in wagon
boxes, although quite a lot of it is
sacked.

Have You This Habit?

THE KNOCKING CLUB

TINE Knocking club had met for
l. luncheon. There were Mrs. van
vetchen Brown, Agatha PIN, the nov
elist; May Hendricks, who wore
knickerbockers most of the time and
smoked during her meals, and finally
Constance Weles, whose engagement
to John Wynne had just been an
the Knocking club in college, and
among their special circle the name
had stuck.
Her husband talks too much be-
gan Mrs. van yechten Brown, whose
own husband had an impeachment in
his speech
mo" said May Hendricks; that
isn't the reason they don't get in-it's
his wife, who dresses like depart
ment store window-she's such bad
form. you know"
81 shouldn't care how she dressed
II she wouldn't murder the Kings
English" Agatha PIN spoke very con-
cisely and distinctly.
At this point Constance looked at
her watch. she had an appointment, as
and here with the Knocking club Just
getting under way she found herself
making her excuses and leaving.
As she and John drove along the
avenue she repeated the conversation
at luncheon To her chagrin John
tx,lr
Dolly Brown is amuslng?' she In
sisted
Il think those three women are like
three old alley cats hugging the dark
corners and squalllng at everyone who
goes along"
Constance gasped. John. dear, you
couldn't call Agatha PIN an alley cat !"
mo" said John; I'D call her
pampered Persian pussy splitting upon
every passerbyl"
what do you meanf" asked Con-
stance.
Take Mrs. van Vechten Brown"
explained John. "Why does she cry
down a man that can talk easily? II
dignifies her own husbands not being
able to get through whole sentence.
When May Hendricks talks about bad
form in others she gives you the Inn
preston that she knows what bad
form Is, and you accept her nicotlned
fingers and her tobacco breath. And
so on and so on--what has Agatha
PIN got but Kings English, and
what has Dolly Brown got but her
namel" He mus have stopped from
sheer lack of breath.
"Then." said Constance, "the habit
of throwing stones at other people is
really just pretending that you don't

knocking club had lost a member.

AN UNHEhRD-OF THING IN
THE ANNALS OF PUBLIC
OFFICIALS

Over in Hatfield, Pa, there is
superintendent of schools who is
one of the first public officials !
have ever heard of as refusing to
accept a salary boost. He is Prof,
L. b. Laudenslager.
Recently the school directors there
voted him an increase in pay. He
refused it by saying that he doesn't
believe the people should be saddled
with any more expense, and he
wishes to work in such a way rs
to keep school costs at the lowest
point consistent with efficiency and
duty to the taxpayers, And this is
the second year Prof. Laudenslager
has refused a boost in payl
He ought to be presented with a
medal In these times of tax boost
ing and recommendation taxpay-
ers, it is indeed gratifying to find
one man who sympathizes with
those who have to pay the bills.

Arthur Littleswift Frazier, for

Frazier, whose case puzzled the

identified as the son of Charles
Frazier of Winner, S. D., though he
has no recollection of his parents
or home life. He served with a
Minnesota guard unit during
the war and wounded during the
Argonne engagement in October
1918. The war department officially
announced his death to his parents,
and Legion post was named after
him.
But man who said he was a
war veteran was found wandering
near Ponca City, Okla, and Legion
men and Red Cross workers took
him to hospital. The resources of

him in back pay.

reported from ten posts show that

paid-up insurance policy, az will
choose aid for improvement of homes
and farms, six will select vocational
training, and only seven who accept
the insurance policy will seek tenn

A DOG ALWAYS HOWLS WHEN
YOU STEP ON IT'S TAIL

Local radio fans have sworn and
prayed, according to their way Of
looking at things,) about the
"howls" that come in over their
radios. But evidently they have
been responsible for their own
"howling", according to timely
communication printed elsewhere in
this issue from Nelson Rittenhouse,
pointing out how it may be avoid
ed.
Mr. Rittenhouse is an authority
on the radio Before ever radio re-
ceiving sets were for sale on the
market, Mr. Rittenhouse had com
pleted set on which he picked
up ships at sea and the few land
stations that were operating at that
time And he has kept step with
radio development so that his opin-
ion is valuable.
He points out that the so-called
"howling" about which so many
complain, is really caused by improp-
er tuning-in by receiving sets. This
is unwittingly done by local fans,
and with his timely advice it is
hoped that it may be eliminated. lie
points out that when improper tun-
ing is done. it turns the radio into a
sending station, which is felt by
other radios over a radius of a
mile.

we die alone" is an old saying and
n true one. And the same applies

RUTH ELIZABETH GUTHRIE
1S94-I9s4
BY MATTE L. MILLER

By MATTE L. MILLER
1t is with the greatest sorrow that
we record the sudden death of Mrs.
Ruth Elizabeth Guthriey wife of Floyd
Guthrie, at her home in Hotchkiss, on
Friday morning, July IL.
The Guthries were well and very
favorably known in and around Crest
ed Butte and Gunnison. Both were
very popular young people in any
circle in which they moved. While
at Crested Butte they had charge of
the Elk Mountain Hotel and only dur
ing last winter went over to Hotch-
piss to take over the management of
the Hotchkiss hotel They evidently
were as popular and we'll liked there
as they were in Crested Butte.
Ruth Elizabeth Cation was born JAN
uary 2. 1894, in David county, Iowa
Her mother died when she was but
six years of age. On November 10,
1910, she was united in marriage to
F. Floyd Guthrie at Marshalltown,
Iowa. Two children were born to
them, Give, aged about 10, and June
Florence, the little daughter she had
so longed for, and who arrived on
this earth just as her mother passed
out.
Funeral services were held at the
M. E. church at Hotchkiss, Rev. Stew
art delivering very comforting SER
mon. The Rebekah and I. o. o. F.
lodges gave impressive funeral SER
vices at the grave. Interment was
made at Riverside.
Mrs S. A. Guthrie, mother of Floyd,
went over to Hotchkiss, as did several
friends of the family from Crested
Butte, to attend the funeral
Friends in this vicinity join with
the Pilot in extending to this be-
reaved family sincerest sympathy in
the loss Of loving and devoted wife
mother and daughter.
She is not dead-the child of our af-
fection--
But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs our pro
| lection,
And Christ himself doth rule
