THE GIRL Who
CHUCKLED
By CLARICE

She is a "dear OF fling" A fine,
intelligent, alluringly lovable spec
imam of Dublin fishwife with a
voice like a fire siren. 1t is doubt
full if an evil thought ever enters
her mind and an unseeming action
is never committed by her - that
is to the knowledge of the gener-
al public.
Her principal recreational avo-
cation and diversion appears to be
nocturnal peregrinations thru the
dimly lighted and less frequently
used thoroughfares where she Is
frequently observed to pause be-
fore uncurtained windows and
feast her beady orbs upon the
pleasant or unhappy scenes within
after which her sensuous lips take
on a new curl and she is off to
seek more sights and scenes"
From these and her imagina-
ton born of experience--don't for
get the imagination she and one
or two Of her cronies conjure up
many truly remarkable stories
which are readily bounced upon by
a greedy and voracious scandal
loving public.
Thus it was on a recent evening
that Clarice, quietly putting a CT
garette, slowly strolled along In
the fresh autumn breeze - hel
troubled eyes fixed on the peep
ing Lizzie" until the latter came
out onto the sidewalk alongside 8
local business house. Sensing
something Clarice drew back int
the shadows. She saw Diana
pause and look back at two no
ticeably inebriated but very huslS!
citizens of the commonwealth VIII
had just emerged from an open
ing between two nearby buildings
Diana slowed her step. The con
vivial ones came up-passed a re
mark or two-Diana seemed quit
friendly.
One knight Of the sod slipped
gorillia-like arm around her gener

Of virtue put one arm around hi

e into his face as if adoring not on
S ly the twinkle in his eyes but ais
{ the odor Of his breath which ur
t questionably had an aroma Xix
e unto that of a recently emptie
"suds" glass.
For a moment the two paused j
this position, then-as their face
came closer and their lips were a

All of the main squares and

vantage point, blazing slogans ex-

Gus attachments, industrially and
otherwise, of Russia under the so

Tractors, autos, airplanes and
machinery of all kinds, were ex-
hibited, along with working men
and women, on signs which, In
many cases were more an so feet

The dates 1917-1931 and the

flew the red flag or showed a big

INVESTIGATION MAY BE MADE OF
FISH AND GAME EXPENDITURES

Great Falls For the first

]. E. Erickson has been asked to
investigate. A resolution asking
an investigation of apparent ex-

the governing board of the Great

League of America.
While records of the state fist

purchase of hunting and fishing
licenses have taken advantage o.
this opportunity. Statements OF

HOW FASCISM
WAS BORN

Meanwhile, Mussolini. embitter-
ed and defeated, continued to or
ganize his military band Of strong
armed men. Italy was in a fer
ment. The labor movement was
split among socialists, commun-
lists and anarchists.
In 1922 came the march on
Rome and the weak beginnings of
the dictatorship, which constantly
steeled itself by illegal activities
and at length murder became the
supreme weapon Of the movement
now known as fascism.
The murder Of Giacomo Matte
otti, the famous socialist leader,
crystalized the present dictator
shin. Documents showed that Mus
so1ini had directly ordered the
crime. An agitation was set up
demanding Mussolini's arrest. Civ
II war was imminent.
There was no turning back now.
To save his head Mussolini order
ed the suppression Of the socialist
party and the labor movement. In
1926 the dictatorship began in
earnest. Parliament was dissolv-
ed and wholesale executions and
arrests were made.

Mr.. Brown. "For the year ending
June 30, 1881, this publication was
operated at a loss to the depart
ment of more than $1,000. As
there are only $500 copies printed
and only LOO paid subscriptions
of course money is lost. Last yeal
there were $4,000 odd resident IL

of the license holders paying fol

most $4,000 for motion pictures

Mr.. Brown said he was support

Livingston. The commissioner
who usually declined to supper
him are T. N. Marlowe, Missouls
chairman J. L. Kelly, Anacond
and W. K. Moore, Billings.

small farmers with such force that
today the American farmer is car
rying a total mortgage debt Of
over ten billion dollars. Thous-
ands Of small farmers are facing

vital necessities Of life. Hun

NO MORAL
NEEDED

Incidents of this kind generally
call for a moral, but none is need
ed here. If you desire to be ruled
by ignorance; if you believe that
brutality means the quickest
course to cultural refinement; If
You believe that insanity should be
kept on the increase, then do IN
the future as you have done in a
moment of apathy and retain ig-
noranee and brutality in power, as
only under such tyranny can you
reach out to enjoy the refining In
nuenee Of life.
