PASSION
PLAY TO BE SHOWN
HERE ON NOV. 2-3-4
Engagement Sponsored by
Lions Club.

The Black Hills Passion Play of
America, featuring Josef Meier,
world famous portrayer of the
"Christus," will appear at the Fox
theater in Butte under the sponsor
ship of the Lions Club, Nov. 2-3-4,
with matinees on each days. Per-
formances start at 8 p. m. and 2
p. m.
The Passion Play is one of the
oldest of dramatic entertainments
and has grown from a crude begin
ming, with centuries of tradition and
development behind it. The Passion
Play was first presented, in the Old
World, by the monks in the year
1912. It was during the seventeenth
century that the laymen became a
part of the play. The first laymen
to give Interpretation to the sacred
play was carefully selected by the
monks. Their ability was put on an
equal basis with their moral fitness.
Its dialogue, which up to this time
had been in the Latin language, was
changed to the native tongue, caus-
ing some changes in the original
manner of presentation.
Josef Meier, who comes from a
family that has long portrayed bibli-
cal roles and who portrays the most
sacred of characters, that of the
"Christus" in the Black Hills Pas
sion Play of America, has succeeded
in translating this age old story of
the Cross into the English language
and in 1882 formed his own COM
pany of American actors.
An invitation was received from
a group in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
to present the English translation of
the Passion Play and it was first
shown there in 1882.
Under the sponsorship of local re-
ligious, patriotic, and ~fraternal So
cieties it has been presented in vari-
GUS parts of the United States since
that date and so enthusiastically re-
ceived by American audiences that
Mr.. Meier began a personal search
for an ideal location for the perma-
nent home of the Passion Play in
America, which was finally found
in 1888, in Spearfish, located in the
beautiful and scenic Black Hills Of
South Dakota, among natural facili-
ties for the outdoor presentation Of
the Play impossible to duplicate.
The Black Hills Passion Play Of
America comes to Butte with all its
Old World traditions and artistry. L
has not lost any of its beauty anc
power through the translation
Mammoth scenes are created, blend
ing one into the other, keeping the
continuity of the story intact. II

SURPLUS WORKERS
PLAN MEETING TO
Discuss WpA RULES

1t has been brought to the atten-
ton of the Silver Bow County Sur
plus Workers Union that some con-
fusion exists among WPA employees
regarding the request recently made
that all WPA employees sign form
No. 422, which is printed below to-
gether with Sec. 81 of WPA Works
Orders issued July 81, 1899, which
recognizes the rights of legitimate
labor organization of WPA workers.
We indorse the action of the Fed
eral Works Agency in requiring all
employees to sign this statement and
our only criticism is that we believe
that it should be made mandatory
that each employee be required to
swear before a notary public that
the statement is true.
The Silver Bow County Surplus
Workers Union, Local No. l, invites
all WPA workers to attend an open
meeting next Thursday night in
Judge Downey's courtroom, court
house, at 8 p. m. Our past activities
will be explained as will also our
program for the future. Our mem
bership has continued to increase
each week since we organized last
July and we feel certain that if
every American-minded WPA en-
ployee in Silver Bow county would
come and hear the truth about our
organization they would be eager to
become a member.
This invitation is not extended to
anyone who believes in any of the
subversive "isms," namely Commu-
nism, Fascism and Nazism.

Plant Marking.

Although the memory is still to be
relied upon and there are visible
traces of the gardens contents, I see
that the plant labels are affixed to
those plants l am not quite sure Of
Of course the old standbys need no
marking, but any recent acquisitions
still unfamiliar in appearance I tag
securely. don't know as there is any
best label. There are many good ones
on the market: Metal strips to write
on do the trick, or simple procedure
is to put the name on one wooden
label, place another one over the in
scribed side for protection and fasten
the two securely together with rub
Der bands, wire or string, thus making
a safeguard against rain and snow.
l like the tiny glass walls, of French
origin, into which the name of the
plant is inserted on scrap of paper,
and the cork pushed into place. These
are fastened to bamboo stake, are
easy to read, and can be used over
and over by merely changing the
written name. When the foreign sup
ply gives out the same idea is ap-
proximated by the little bottles from
the druggist.

Preparing for Winter.

Keeping the garden clean over
winter is an important thing which
is too often overlooked by many
home gardeners. Not infrequently
the dead foliage of plants is allowed
to remain over winter to be cleared
away in spring in preparation for the
new garden season. 1t is real mis-
take to follow such program because
there are plant insects and diseases
that will remain over winter on the
dead stalks and leaves.
Not only do certain plant enemies
in the form of eggs and spores per-
sist on the dead tops of garden plants
but some of the worst ones in the form
of larvae, grubs and worms live over
the winter in the soil and at the roots
of plants. Practically all these plant
enemies can be eliminated by remov-
ing the dead remains of plants and
spading the soil before winter sets
in. All ANIMALS should be dug out,
carted to the incinerator and burned
and the dead tops of perennial plants
should be treated likewise.
The Exception.
The plants that keep green leaves
until hard freezing destroys them
should be allowed to remain until
that event, and plants that keep green
leaves over winter should be allowed
to keep their foliage. 1t is especially
important to cut down the tops of
peonies, down to the ground, because
one of the principal enemies of this
plant will live over winter on the
