SNOW Pillow AROUSES
INTEREST.

Everybody is very anxious for the
roads to clear up and for this abun-
dant snow crop to melt away. But
if you had been in the assembly
Thursday afternoon in the seventh
period, you would have thought that
Mr.. Durfee, Danny, and Bill Giltner
were little more eager than any of
the rest of US. A big "boom" was
heard, followed by noises of every
sort. Happening to be near the east
window, Durfee quickly cast his
glance toward that opening. Gazing
in rapt admiration at the snow-plow
which was going by the building, he
evidently forgot about us. As a re-
suit of Mr.. Durfee's interest in the
monstrous machine, Danny and Bill
also became curious. First Bill, then
Danny, bravely rose in their seats,
and from their perilous heights, look
ed absently out of the window. With
mouths agape, probably wondering
how and where the great clearing de-
vice worked, they stared out. After
about three minutes, however, Durfee
realized that he was in school and
turned abruptly. simultaneously, DAN
ny and Bill gained their seats. The
with which they reseated
themselves was due, not so much to
the fact that Durfee had "come back
to earth," but because Hera, one of
our worthy seniors, broke forth with
an animated "Oh, look at those Fresh
ies!"

YOUNG JENSEN VS.. KID
SVETICH IN BLOODY BATTLE

Greatly excited by the sounds of a

rushed out of the building to find
Nyles Jensen and John Svetich en-
gagged in battle of fisticuffs. Both
boys seemed rather chary of dealing
blows and danced around in the APP
proved unney-Dempsey amer.
During the latter part of the battle,
however, Nyles gave John a bloody
nose and knocked him down several
times. The spectators were for the
most part neutral, but several femi-
nine voices called, "Sock him one,
JOHNNY" During the crucial NOM
ent, Mr.. Hartwig appeared on the
scene, and everybody scattered.
The next day curiosity was salts
fled. 1t seems that Nyles took Johns
hat, tore the brim, and threw it in
the snow. John promptly decided to
avenge his hat-hence, the fight. The
decision was unanimously given to
Nyles Jensen.

NEW FEATURE FOR
SHOW At BILLINGS
Plans Under Way to Display
Motor Trucks at April
Exposition.

Billings, Mont-A motor truck
show will be an added department of
the annual spring industrial EXPOSE
ton which will be held here April
., 4 and 5, if efforts of the commit
tee IN charge materialize in securing
the All Club building at the fair
grounds for this new attraction.
Need of space where Billings truck
dealers could display their lines has
been felt for several years, and in
answer to requests for space to dis
play trucks, the committee is now
making an effort to arrange the
truck show as a special department of
the exposition. All available space
IN the auditorium at the fairgrounds
mas been utilized for the automobile
and wholesalers and manufacturers
exhibits. If the club building is Sc
cured, it will be used exclusively for
the motor truck show.
A complete display of the outstand-
ing lines of motor trucks handled in
Billings, it is certain, will be of much
value to the prospective purchaser of
trucks and will prove an interesting
phase of the exposition for everybody.
Plans for the entertainment of ex-
position visitors are progressing we'll
and with the talent on hand for the
committee to select from those in
charge of the show are determined
that program will be presented of
such variety that it will appeal to the
different likings of all the people at
tending.
In addition to motor cars, radio,
electrical APPLIANCES, products manufac-
tured and handled by Billings whole
salers, an airplane display is also to
be made.

Legal Knots United
by Chinese Solomon

In village near Picking, China, four
tradesmen dubbed together to buy cot
ton. To protect ii from rats they pro-
cured cat, and agreed that each of
them owned one of the animals legs.
Soon afterwards the cat hurt one of
its paws, and the owner of that par
ticular leg bound it up with rag
soaked In oil. But the cat went too
near the fire, the bandage ignited, and
the terrified animal rushed amongst
the bales of cotton, which fiared up
and were destroyed.
The three owners of the uninjured
legs sued their partner for loss and
damages. The judge ruled thus:
"Since the cat was unable to use
the injured leg, the cotton was set on
fire by the action of the three I'M
injured legs on Which the cat ran
among the bales of cotton. Conse-
quently these three legs were guilty,
and their owners must pay damages
and COSTS"
