ASK FOR THE UNION CARNIVAL SPONSORED
label IN YOUR SH0EIBY TRADES COUNCIL

With the support of every labor
union in Butte, through sponsorship
of the Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council, the Siebrand Brothers car
nival and circus is playing to capaci-
| ty houses every night The Silver
Bow Trades and Labor Council took
charge of the show on Monday eve
lining and has continued its patronage
since.
The show was brought to Butte
by the Butte Boosters Club, an or
ganization of 163 Butte groups in
cluding practically every union in
Butte. 1t is due to the support of
the Butte Boosters Club that Organ
lied Labor gave its whole and un-
qualified cooperation to the success
of the carnival.
In addition to the Central Council
helping the show on Monday, Mrs.
Joe Richards, president of the Car
penters Union Auxiliary, took charge
of the show on Tuesday evening, as
sisted by 20 members.
| One of the big features of the show
is the interment of Alice Corwin of
Salt Lake who has been lying in
coffin six feet under the carnival lot
since last Friday evening. She will
|remain there until the show closes
next Sunday evening.
She may be reached by the Noun
tain States telephone service, her re-
ply being the first authentic voice
from the tomb.
Rollo Clark, glasseater from st.
Louis, Mo, is another remarkable
attraction His diet, at each per-
formance, includes glass, razor
blades, straight razors, automobile
windshield glass, tacks and other
nick-nacks.
One of the big added attractions
of the week will be the public we'd
ding of young Butte couple to be
staged in the main ring of The circus
tent on Friday evening.
Miss Helen Nicholson of the Inter-
state News and Periodical Company,
stationed at the Milwaukee depot in
Butte, is the bride Lawrence Nc
Lehman, Butte miner, is the BRIDE
groom. Mayor Charles A. Haus-
wirth will officiate at the ceremony.
Butte merchants have been gen.
erous in their response to an appeal
for gifts for the young couple, which
was sought by the Butte Boosters
Club. Already the bridal bouquet,
lovely lingerie, kitchen ware and
many pairs of beautiful silk hose
have been presented. The young
couple will leave for California i'm
mediately after the ceremony and
will be at home at 538 South Main
Street.

state, are meeting and competing in
the annual Montana State Inter

a great deal more TO the contestants
than victory or defeat. 1t means
to the senior a climax and well-earned
reward for four years of preserving;
it means to the under classman a goal
for which he may work in the future.
To everyone that enters it means fell
lowship, craftsmanship, and coopera-
ton with many others of his kind.

This host is none other than Lawrence

middle name).
Lawrence was born on August 10,
1919, and is another gift to Libby from

acquired an interest in football and
basketball which he has held and de-
veloped ever since until by the end of

one year letterman in football
Il. DIS" ambition is to attend a
school of mechanical engineering. How
ever, he will look for a job as soon as
he gets out of school to earn money to
attend such school.
Lawrence possesses a very attractive
personality He is an average student,
and a diligent worker. He dresses
neatly and has smile or an optomistic
remark for everyone.
His favorite food is potatoes in suf-
ficient quantities to fill him up. His
pet peeve is pests (the kind who think
they have sense of humor, when all
they have is an abnormal mind). Dick
Veldman is his favorite personality
because he always has something funny
to offer. "Jughead' thinks Mr.. Hayes

The RahaSSu Nut

The Babassu nut is about the
size of lemon. These nuts are
borne in punches of 400 or more.
Apart from the uses found for the
shell and meal as fuel and cattle
fodder, experiments have brought
the oil into widened field of useful
ness In industry and pharmacy. This
nut grows on one Of the largest palm
trees OF the Amazon }region. The
oil extracted from the nut is used
largely in the manufacture of marg-
arine. The cake and meal are used
as cattle feed. The Amazonian prod
uct, especially from Para, repre-
sents very small percentage of the
American consumption, the greater
part coming from Marannao.

Opinions from Here and There.

Question: Do you prefer an elabo-
rately or simply decorated Prom?
Why?
Dick Veldman = Elaborate. People
like to go when its more elaborate. It
gives the classes something to look for
ward to- A simple one looks like a
barn dance, and who wants to go?
Odin Rolseth--I think they should
have elaborate decorations, because the
Junior Prom is the only dance of the
year into which a great deal of work
toward decorating is put Therefore
it should be done with the utmost
pains.
Mary Anne Racicot-Simple. | think
it is about time that the elaborate, cost
ly decorations which are hung all over
the walls and ceiling (only to be torn
down after an hour or two of dancing)
should be done away with. The money
spent for decorations could be spent
much more beneficially somewhere
else.
Karl Klehm--A simple one suits me.
think the kids have a better time.
They aren't afraid to move around and
enjoy themselves.
Keith Leigh-Elaborate. The Prom
is probably the last dance the seniors
will attend in Libby High and should
be just as nice as possible.
Mr.. Hayes-I prefer it simply deco
rated if held in the Jr. High Auditor
ium. Also it is waste of money, en-
ergy and time to decorate lavishly.
What's the object of it? The dresses
are pretty, the people look nice and
with clever lighting effect and in a
room as pretty as the auditorium the
decorations need not be elaborate. 1t
isn't the decorations that make for a
good time. Spend the money on some
thing else.
