Edwin Erickson writes to have the
Western News sent to him at Lewis
ton, Ida, and says, Il am interested
to read about you blowing away the
snow while we are moving lawns
here"
If you have never heard old favorite
gospel songs played by brass band

Mr.. and Mrs. J. S. Watts, and Mr..
and Mrs. H. L. Wright and families,
including the dogs and household
goods, attracted considerable atten-
ton as they passed through here
Thursday afternoon. The families are
travelling overland from near Big
Fork to the Kinchilla camp at UPPER
where Messrs Watts and Wright will
be employed as tie makers. There was
two trucks in the party. On the first
truck a room had been arranged with
cookstove and other things necessary
to living quarters. The second truck
carried the household goods and tools
These rigs would be used as living
quarters at camp, they said, until a
home or homes could be furnished
them. Evidently they believed in being
prepared for any emergency and from
appearances the entire party was en-
joying the trip.-Whitefish Pilot.

Junior Did Not Quite
Get Mothers Meaning

Junior was called upon to explain
to his dad why he had evidently told
the child next door such a seemingly
patent untruth.
Junior, haven't you been taught
that to be guilty of preyaricating Is
sufficient reason for your being pun
ished severely"
The Stroller (who Is an uncle OF the
youngster) noted with some amuse-
ment that the weight OF the large
words used upon the lad was having
little effect.
"Avhat did ! do wrong, daddy?" the
child asked.
Didn't you tell Howard that moth
err owned station and that you think
she's going to give 1t to you full OF
trains?n
"Sure, daddy" replied the young
ster, Il heard mother tell Mrs. Jones
that the lady who just moved In was
below her station and that she
couldn't join the bridge club Daddy,
II mother had station, wouldn't she
give me some trains?"

Dishonesty Taken for
Granted in Business

When we consider the centuries OF
preaching that honesty Is the best pol
Icy. it Is surprising how little has been
accomplished. Every business place
has cashier to watch the clerks. and
see that they properly turn In the
naney. And the cashier herself Is
watched by cash register The hon
fsty of almost everyone is doubted.
There can be no reasonable objection
tn giving a man credit who will pay
next week. but cash stores are be-
coming almost the rule. And they are
IN insult TO our professions of honesty.
Why are so many dishonest? There
Is not the slightest question that hon.
estp Is The best policy, from prac-
teal as we'll as from religious stand
point, but should be ashamed to
print here the per cent Of the dis
honest us estimated by practical men
who deal with the public.
What Is the flaw In the argument?
Why have we been unable to learn the
most important OF all lessons? Why
as race do we butt our heads for
centuries against a pitiless stone wall !
With all our intelligence, why do we
continue to be such scoundrels?-E
w. HoWe's Monthly.

If Comet Should Hit Earth

Professor Todd says that II the head
OF large comet should collide with
the earth. probably the air md wafer
would be instantly consumed and dissi
pated. and considerable region of the
earth's surface rased to incandes-
cence. Ii might happen that diffusion
OF noxious gases from sudden combus
ton Of hydrocarbon compounds would
so vitiate the atmosphere as to render
1t unsuitable for breathing. In this
manner while the earth itself, its
oceans and human dwellings, might
escape unframed, such an event might
mean universal death to nearly all
forms of animal existence.

BABE WILD ROOTER
AS LOU HTS TWO


BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 10.-Babe Ruth
may be too i'll to play base ball these
days, but he can't keep away from
the game that made him famous.
With his wife, the former Claire
Hodgson, the Babe was a spectator
at yesterdays game between the Yankees
and the Browns. The famous slugger
didn't go near the Yankee bench, but
sat in box along the right field stands.
He stood up and cheered when his
friendly rival, Lou Gehrig, hit his thir-
tenth home run and was dissuaded only
with difficulty from tossing away his ex-
pensive hat when Columbia Lou" shot
his fourteenth into the right field
bleachers later.
Still a bit weak from a severe cold,
Ruth was able, nevertheless, to talk
good game of base ball.
II hope they keep up this hitting
against the Browns and the Tigers" he
said. "Ill be back to help them against
the Athletics, the only team we have to
beat"
