Excellent Program
~
By Junior Women

The Junior Woman's Club held its
December meeting Tuesday evening
with an excellent attendance. Several
guests were present and two new mem
bers, Mrs. Charles Shelton and Miss
Cecilia Liebe, were welcomed. The
club-room was beautifully decorated
with Christmas greens and lit by
candles.
The High School Girls Glee Club,
under direction of Mr.. Charles Boards
ley, sang three numbers in chorus,
"A Life's Lesson" Angles from the
Realms of Glory and Carol of the
Birds and fourth number, Silent
Night, Holy Night was rendered as a
solo number by Miss Gladys Rolseth
with the chorus humming the ac-
compartment The songs were enjoyed
very much by the audience.
Miss Margaret SIeizer, president,
presided at the business meeting. The
membership committee reported their
contest well under way, with Miss
Leone COPYRIGHT leading one side end
Miss Georgia Thorson the other. Miss
Inez Ratekin was appointed chairman
of music committee, which will take
care of suggestions for musical numbers
and programs by the General Fed
Grafton music chairman. Mrs. Vernon
Bessey reported that her committee
had sold Christmas T. B. seals to the
amount of $500. Plans were be-
gun for the annual Christmas party
and the club decided on December q
as the date for this Mrs. Elmer WOLF
was appointed general chairman and
other committees will be selected short
ly to take care of all necessary arrange
ments.
The Christmas play, Dust of the
Road which was presented earlier on
Tuesday at the meeting of the
Woman's Club was also the feature
Of the evenings program for the Jun
Tors. The play has a supernatural
theme, and deals with the effect on
Peter and Prudence Steele of the visits
of two tranps who come to their lonely
farmhouse on Christmas eve. The first
tramp, who is denied admittance by
Prudence, proves to have been Christ
himself; the second tramp enters with
out permission, and represents Judas
Iscariot. According to the legend on
which the play is based, Judas is al
lowed on this one night of each year
to walk the earth, and whenever he
can persuade some human soul against
falling into sin, he condones in some
tnfinitesimal degree his own fearful
betrayal of Christ, centuries ago. Peter
and his wife Prudence have been
meditating betraying the trust of q
dead friend by keeping for themselves
money which was left with them for
the son of this friend The mysterious
tramp succeeds in making them realize
how the injury to their own souls wher
they committed this crime would roE
them Of all the real joys of life, anc
Peter and Prudence find real happiness
in their decision to remain absolutely
| honest
The parts of Prudence Steele and az
aged aunt were taken by Miss Eleanor
Stevens and Mrs. Elmer WOLF; and The
tramp and Peter by Harold Martin anc
Sheldon Thompson. The play was pre-
scented simply as walking rehearsal
and almost without stage properties
but the presentation was very realistic
and moving, and the actors all CAV
splendid performances.

Ship Carloads Of
Christmas Trees

FORTTNE, Dec. 10.-The Christmas
tree season was definitely over in this
section the latter part of last week, the
last car being loaded on Thursday af-
ternoon 1t was thought at first there
would be scarcity of trees this year
but as the season drew to close the
various contractors found themselves
swamped with trees, more than usual
having been cut. Fourteen car loads
were shipped from Fortine alone. J..
Hofert was the heaviest shipper. Other
shippers were the Kirk Co., Thomas OF
Minnesota, the Anderson Brothers of
Kalispell and Fred Clark of Eureka.

In Financial Support of States Schools

Probably due to competition, there
was only small number present at
the PIT. A. meeting last night in the
Junior High auditorium, to hear M. P.
Moe, secretary of the Montana Educa-
ton association, discuss contemplated
change in the management of the
schools of the state.
Mr.. Noes address was highly in
structive one He described education
al conditions in the state from a
financial standpoint and explained the
new plan most lucidly. 1t was an
address every citizen should have
heard.
Space and time restrictions prevent
full discussion of the changes adj
vocated by Mr.. Moe but they can
be touched on briefly. Educators are
convinced the present system is all
wrong, chiefly because it does not
provide adequate educational OPP
portunities for all the children of the
state Some districts are so poor they
are able to have only three or four
months of school year, while the re-
sources of other districts are far be-

MAIL EARLY DRIVE
AGAIN is FAVORED

Christmas mail as rapidly and efficient
ly as possible, the postal department
has announced several suggestions to
the public that may aid material in
facilitating the annual rush.
People are urged to mail parcels as
early as possible All valuable mail
should be insured and postage must be
fully prepaid on all articles. Addresses
should be complete, with house num-
Der and name Of street, postoffice box
or rural route written plainly in ink or
typewriter. A return address must be
placed on all packages.
Pa}cels should be securely wrapped
and packed and all articles easily
broken or damaged should be marked
Fragile" Packages containing perish
able articles should also be properly
marked.

yond what is needed for adequate
school facilities. The new plan would
equalize the situation and give all dis
tricts standard school program
This would be done by combining
small districts into larger ones. Mr..
Moe said he doubted if any county
should have more than 10 districts The
new districts would be managed by
local boards, and there would be d
county board of education composed of
the chairmen of the district boards and
the county superintendent of schools.
A state fund would be raised through
taxation and out of this fund the state
would pay SO per cent of school costs
while the other 50 per cent would be
raised by each district. The proposed
law is so drawn as to relieve property
of any of the new tax There are
several ways to raise the new fund, but
Moe stated he thought it would
probably come through sales or
transactions tax Referring to the new
arrangement, Moe said that under the
new plan, property in Lincoln county
would pay about 40 per cent as much
for school purposes as last year. A
blanket tax would cover all the coun-
ty and the fund raised would be pro-
rated to the schools according to their
need. Control of schools would be left
in local hands.
This is a highly important question
and will be discussed more fully from
time to time.
The meeting was called to order by
the president, Mrs. H. R. Richards,
with the secretary, Mrs. G. w. Gildea,
acting in that capacity. Litchfield Dor
rington sang two lovely numbers,
Silver Bells of Memory" and Down
