AS we jot down these notes for
our readers this week, citizens of
Helena are greeted along the
street with the sight of women in
hoop-skirts. hoop-petticoats, bus
sells, redingotes and other earlier
day toys; men with toppers, SOM
breroed in true cow-puncher style.
creating an atmosphere somewhat
wild and woody, in preparation for
Helena's Diamond jubilee July 16.
An odd sight is many bearded men
who seem ready to hold-up bank,
stage-coach, or make tender-foot
dance to any old tune. Nearly one
hundred cars from Butte and Ana
conda were in city Sunday and, o
boy! did they do some stunts on
the Main street. They paraded,
danced, yelled, footed car horns,
and made the street almost i'm
passible. The men were bearded
and the women were-well, fixed
up any old way.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Lane of
Burlington, N. j. were in the city
last week from ranch where
they are spending the summer.
Alfred King of Havre, brother
of Mrs. Lawrence Howard was vi
sitting here last week.
Walter Monroe, James Thomp-
son and Eide Arnold are furnish
ing music for dancers at the Night
Owl.
At any rate Howard Travillian
doesn't have to go about the
streets in a barrel since the clothes
raid on his wardrobe last week.
In our column last week we
eroneously stated Mr.. N. B. Word
who is visiting here from st. Louis
in employed by the Pullman COM
pany. Mr. Word has been clerk
in the Post Office at st. Louis for
80 years and will retire in another
year and a half.
H. j. Baker, Mr.. and Mrs. N. B
Word and little Narvelle Mast mo-
tored to Yellowstone National
Park Saturday, returning Sunday
to Helena.

We been born here for the past
fifty years, and many have heard
cry, but none have I heard cry out
Mama, tote me-" OF course there
some who have "toted" tote" with
them from some other balliwick.
Decapitate the nose and spite
the phiz! 1t so happened to a
family here when the female of
the species too loudly and vocife-
rously chided her spouse where he
draws a pay check. A party of
the third part became aware of the
incident and, spouse loses pay
check, another mans gain.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Dixon,
musicians, were in the city this
week. They were visitors at the
home of ]. e. Ingram, 1856 5th Ave

SOHELP ME
BY Joe station

Well, we tanned the "Shrew"
last week and the cast tanned the
tanner. I could feel mutiny; but 1
had no idea from what source to
expect 1t. l soon learned, how
ever.
Instead of "Switchy" getting the
pie, did. I had a bottle of fizz
water ready to get even but so did
"Switchy" Harper Phillips. Har-
per even had an umbrella. Our
stage manager took the bullets
from Harper's and my gun. Har-
ny Phillips put water all over Sar-
ah and Perry Gillian had to duck
pan of water instead of a bou-
quet.
Well, finally the show ended.
The cast, however, had more fun
than the audience.
You missed something If you
weren't there. What surprised me
is that the cast knew / was in for
double cross all week and kept
1t secret. Who said colored folk
can't keep their mouths shut?
Maybe If Otis "Pumpkinhead'
Reese would go with ONE girl
long enough he could get mar
ried. He plays golf with two girls
meets one on Madison and cabs
an hour or two-then takes his
friend girl to the beer parlor.
e. w. always looking for a spe-
cial delivery from Portland,
wonder why Joe Indy Smith
won't give a certain bathing beau
ty a break?
Wonder why some of those
dumb guys in Portland have let
Ozzie Mott stay single so long?
I'll bet a plug nickel that jed.
NEVER learns to cook.
Did anyone happen to see a
newlywed walking down the street
with an old flame? There'd been
plenty flame if the other half had
seen it.
A whole lot of people recently
found out who wears the pants in
a certain musicians family.
C. H., the recent graduate, re-
ceived a beautiful watch from a
man of letters as a graduation
present.
Al SIS girl friend said she'd
have to buy the marriage license
if she ever hoped to marry.
Can you imagine Herb Jones as
a caddy? Looked like a squaw
carrying a papoose.
Lee, the druggist, asked me for
change for five bucks. Silly thing
to do I haven't seen five bucks
since I was married.
Tommy Trice and Howard Biggs
started to hire taxi to keep the
rain from wrecking their 80 cent
straw hats.
Merle Moorehead beat me al
golf by four strokes-I didn't fol-
low him when he went in the
rough.

workers." he said.
In the WestWood dispute, the
governor suggested that employees
at the Red River Lumber company
go back TO work under wages and
conditions prevailing Feb. 4 when
the AFL employees struck in a de-
mand for an immediate NLRB con-
sent election. Pending settlement
of demands for wage scales similar
TO those before a cut last summer,
Olson recommended that the AFL
and the CIO each delegate two
representatives to conduct the
wage negotiations and that the
question go to arbitration if direct
negotiations failed. The AFL local
in Westwood was scheduled to
meet tomorrow for a secret vote
on the proposal, which involves a
consent election under auspices of
the state industrial relations de-
partment.
At Redding, the governor sug-
gested that AFL and CIO forces
confer together over their mutual
problems" and apportion the avail
able work between them. AFL un-
ions hold contracts for all but tun-
mel work on the Shasta dam prof.
ect in the Redding area.
At nearby Delta, where CIO
forces have been picketing work
on railroad relocation project
now being done by AFL men, scores
of new pickets were reported ready
for duty today.
