ÍP ^ iy ^ K V ;^ ' •.•♦—•»•»■Vf-** >o Costs The Most The Stove or the Fuel 9 Did goti ever have a stove dealer furnish gou a casting to put on top of the grates of gour range so that gou could bring the fire up closer to gour gridles and cook without wasting fuel? Then gou could not dump the ashes and clinkers out and gou couldn't bake without fishing the casting out with a poker. Get a QU ICK A C T I O N R A N G E with raising and lowering grate and gou can lift the fire up ang moment with a few turns o f the shaker handle. You can dump the grates at ang position and gou can lower the grate quichlg for baking. You can cook on top of the range with half the fuel in a fire box half the ordinarg depth, and because the fire is so close to the gridles gou can heat enough from a low fire so gou can close the front draft and make the small amount o f fuel last longer. It costs'$60.00, or more, per annum for fuel for a range. Whg not bug a high grade malleable QUICK A C T I O N R A N G E with the lifting grate and recover the first cost in the fuel saved in a verg few gears? -.FOR SALE BY= R O S S HOUCK, Choteau Competent Hands » Will care for gour automobile if placed with us.

HEWSON, Proprietor Hell on the Country ►Something about a year ago the democratic press was publishing with great glee, under four story heads, a statement eminating from the president that he would, figur atively speaking, hang big in terests so high that Hainan’s feet would appear to be dragging on the ground if said big in erests showed any disposition monkey- doodle with the money market. If big interests are to blame for the depressed business conditions of the country, the time is ripe to make good another democratic promise and start the hanging. We opine, however, that the hanging will be deferred until -1916, by which time the demo cratic administration will have so effectively strangled itself to death that it will pass into another 20 years of oblivion and a hanging will be unnecessary. It will be hell on the country, but having survived the blights of the few previous administrations of a like nature, we’ll probably get by some way. Pridham a Candidate / Attorney T /'H .' Pridham, who has been assistant county attor ney under; Di “ W. Doyle, has announced;hi9 candidacy for the republican nomination for county attorney of Teton county. In his declaration, filed in the office of the county clerk, Mr. Pridham pledges himself as follows: “ I f I am nominated and elected, I will, during my term of office, endeavor to serve the people of the County of Teton faithfully and efficiently, showing a square deal to all and special^ favors to none, and I request that there be be printed on the official ballot after my name the words ‘A Square Deal.’ ” Tariff and the Farmer Leslies: The people feel the high cost of living in the price of food more than anything else. A suit of clothes lasts a year or two, but food we must have at least three times a day, and every time we buy it the high price makes us wince. The new tariff, we were told would lower the cost of living yet after six months of the new schedules there has been no appre ciable reduction. While there has been thus far no material in crease of importations of manu- factored articles to compete with our factories, there has been a large increase of imported food products. Secretary o f Commerce Redfield gives the figures for food importations for the first three months of the law’s operation— October, November and Decem ber. 1913—as against the corres ponding months for 1912. In the last three months of 1913, 341,000 cattle were imported as against 112,000 in the same period ot 1912; -1,500,000 bushels of corn as against 253,000 bushels: 13,230,000 bushels o f oats as against 13,600 bushels; 33,500,000 pounds of fresh meat as against 865,000 pounds; 2,880,000 bushels of pota toes as against 41,000 bushels. Despite these enormous figures no material reduction has been made in the cost of living. Secretary Redfield says the farmers have nothing to fear from this, but that remains to be seen. Aid the Editor One of the most difficult tasks in a newspaper office is getting the facts relative to births, deaths and marriage in the community. Many people take it for granted that when a person dies, the editor is familiar with every detail of the life of the deceased and his activi ties, when as a fact he knows absolutely nothing about him, but he has to get his information from other sources, same as other persons would have to do. It is the same with regard to marriage or other mere or less important happenings in the community. In almost every case the editor has to dig up the particulars or to satisfy himself or the readers of the paper with a meager and in accurate account. The average editor of a country paper has something like a million and a half of things to do and think about during the week and the patrons can hardly estimate how much he {appreciates any effort they make in furnishing him the facts for news items.
