An historical document Of great in
terest-an order issued June q, 1865
by P. Daniels, brevet colonel com
handing the Seventh Regiment of
Rhode Island Volunteers one of
the priced possessions Of George T.
Browning Of AL South Black.
Nj. Browning, who has been a res
ident of Bozeman for 38 years, is a
veteran of the Civil War. Ever since
that memorable day when he and his
comrades turned from the sad tasks
Of war to the pursuits Of peace he has
carried and treasured this order.
For nearly 81 years this document
has accompanied him in ~wanderings
that took him over % states before
he chose BOzeman as his home.
The order itself is a work Of elo-
quence, breathing the spirit Of Joy
over the return to peace, displaying
intense patriotism, and sounding a
note Of satisfaction that the objects
for which the great and bitter con-
flict were waged had been achieved.
It reads:

some Ways TO
JUDGE BARGAINS
IN White GOODS

To many homemakers the midwin-
ter white" sales offer the best op
%portunity Of the year to stock up or
sheets, pillowcases, towels, and other
household textiles. But all is no
good that's white. Just as in buying
other fabrics there are facts about
fibers and weaves that the home
maker needs to know If she would
get a true bargain, says the bureau
Of home economies of the United
States department of agriculture.
If buying yarn goods, unravel a
yarn, untwist it, and pull out small
tufts Of the fibers. Notice whether
they are about the same or very diff
! ferent in length. The fabric with
longest fibers Of regular length will
wear best. The ends of short fibers
work loose and make the fabric
fuzzy, as the sizing put in by the
manufacturer is washed out. The
lint rubs off from such a fuzzy fab
rio, and it soils more readily.
Notice whether the yarns T ever

make Jumps that cause the fabric t.
