There For Business

We are here for business, not
here for an outing, not to meet
friends, but to do business. We
want all the information that we
can get. Any question you want to
ask, ask it. Do not think that any
thing is too small. The bank books
are here, balanced. We are here
to represent the National Ideal
Society for inspiration. We are
here for inspiration and legislation.
Let us get down to it. Anything
that you may have heard, anything
that is not just as it should be, we
are here to look into it.
An Ideal Day
1t is an ideal day and an ideal
situation and in an ideal hall.

erect this hall?

A Closed Question
Where did we place the mort
gage? We did not have to place
any mortgage, when we bought the
building. We got the money out
of our own treasury. The past
twelve months have been the rough
est we have ever experienced dur
ing the whole history of our exist
ence, but we pulled through. We
started with nothing seventeen years
ago, with a pile of paper and not a
dollar. We threw ourselves into the
work, after using one year making
quietly at home.

While J. c. (Jack) Walton's open

BRIDE IS RESCUED
BY SICK HUSBAND
Three-Day Ride Through Snow
Drifts Saves Mans Life

Washington, Feb. 20. (UP)-The
story OF bride, who with few OF
her pneumonia stricken husbands
comrades. trudged for three days
through the snowbound northwest
to take him by sleigh to the nearest
hospital has just reached the Ma
tional Park Service from the Vel
lowstone National Park.
Here is the tale as it was told
by an official Of the Interior De-
partment under which the park
service functions:
Jack Worth. the husband, is
keeper OF Old Faithful Inn in the
Yellowstone. During his service
in the World War one of his lungs
became affected, making him sus.
ceptable to pneumonia.
In the warm sunlight and dry
air of the Yellowstone he was fast
regaining his health. Last sum.
mer he married Miss Lulu Bach
another employee of the park. The
two settled down for a honeymoon
winter in spacious Old Faithful
Inn.
Last month heavy SHOWS fell In
the Yellowstone. Though he
temperature ranged around 40 de-
grees below zero. Worth climbed
to the roof Of the Inn each day te
shovel off the snow lest it cave in.
The low temperature and raw air
were too much for his weak lungs.
He contracted pneumonia.
The bride and her i'll husband
were isolated, - without doctor OF
medicine. Their only contact wi,
the outside world was by tele-
phone. She summoned a few rang.
ers who trudged through the snow
to, their aid.
They talked Of moving Worth tc
a hospital by airplane. but decided
a plane could not take off in the
deep snow which surrounded the
inn. Nor could the park trucks
make Roadway through 1t.
AS last resort Worth was
bundled up well and put on a
sleigh. For three days his wift
and companions pushed ahead
through @ snow-covered wilderness
while the temperature dropped t.
Al degrees below zero.
On the third day they reached
an outpost of civilization,-a small
railway station where q train was
held five hours awaiting the
stricken man.
