MRS TED WOODWARD. I,0t INK GIVOGRE IN THE LEAD Suiidfj's Standard in reporting a basket ball game between .the Tom boys and the Flappers of the Wo mans Basketball league of Butte at the ' M C A gym, Saturday night, has this to say of our pride Louise Givogre, who is attending the Butte Business college: “ Close guarding featured the game. All shots that were made \were from under cover. Givogre, foi ward for Hie Flappers, slipped away from her guard early in the first half of the game and tossed a field goal and from then on it was a battle for possession of the ball. The goal that was tossed in by Givogre was the only seore made by either team.” W'hen Louise went to Butte a few weeks age she was of course, being a stranger, and in faet an amateur, placed in the last team of the league but her ability has won her a plaee in the second team, which has a per centage now of .714 to .887 for the lead team, which her team plays Saturday night of tihs week. Here Is hoping the Wisdom girl pulls her team trough to first place! RESULT OF «BAL SALE We are very grateful te Mrs. TM Woodward for the following re port on the sale of Christmas seals, which was la her charge this year: Due largely to the splendid ©festa of the* teachers issi pupils ed the Big Hole schools the Red Cross seal saie was a great success. On accoust of a grout n o A a r of toa t e r s hetag| COMMISSIONERS COMEDY A nice little comedy for the bene fit the taxpayers of Beaverhead county has just been enacted where by said taxpiyeru will be compelled to pay 89 per cent more for a certain piece of work entailing the expendi ture of several thousand dollars than should be paid for the job In question. We refer to, the county printing. Since the letting of the contract to The Lima Ledger at “ 80 per cent of the statutory rate” ton all of the county printing, when The News bid was 80 per cent for book and job work and 50 per cent for newspaper publications, rumors have been rife to the effect that another call for bids would be made by the board. In fact at one time Chairman Shaw was asked over the phone to call a spe cial meeting for this purpose. He rightly refused, in the Interests of economy, for a special meeting to reconsider and call for bids would lecessarily entail another meeting to consider the bids. It was impos sible for Mr. Shaw to attend the January meeting and the bond of fhe Ledger was approved Nice little joke isn't it? The le~ ^al rate for publication notices— all newspaper publicity required by the county— which means, the publica- on ol the commissioners’ pro ceedings each month, calls for bids for contract work of any sort and he speciflactions therein— is $1 5.0 per folio (100 words) for the first insertion and 50 cents a folio for iuch subsequent insertion. The News offered to do this for 75 cents a folio or the first insertion, 40 cents a fo- o for each subsequent insertion. In he linotype mats used by The News nd Hie Dillon papers the law makes ne and four-tenths inches a folio, ’lie colmuns of Dillon papers are o inches. For ready reckoning let is call a folio one and one-half ineh- s which is one-tenth of an Inch out if the way. Now count the columns Vtsea in by the commissioners’ pro- -ecnings each month id the year (12 Mines) multipfy by two,for two years s the length of the contract, and re- ilize that The News wanted to print one and a half (or one and four- eutii inches) for 75 cents and the august body of county dads pays $1 20 tor it. “ The board read your bid as 75 PER CENT, Dick.” Bah! The hoard surely is not so simple as all ‘hat. 1 The board thought that Lima, ieing on the railroad, would be so nuch handier. You know the court lometimes runs out of blanks and has to have ’em right away.” Imagine a set o f ‘court officers en tering upon a session without the necessary blanks— there are no spe cial blanks; a form is prescribed by lav end all necessary blanks must conform to the guage set. Fact is, Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer, the eounty printing will be done in Diiloa still. Dillon, Dillon, O, great is our county seat and to ----- with the Big Hole exeept at tax-paying time. They don’t need roads over then. What if those fellows have dug deep into their pockets to build % highway through the Rocky moun tains connecting the two greatest na- ional playgrounds in the world! The travel will come through Dillon ityway, via Butte. Our representative, Joe Shaw, has had an uphill road from the begin- iin.» ©f his term as commissioner; he has had to use a world of diplo macy to get anything for the Basin and it will be harder now than ever. Hi* term of office as chairman of the hoard expired at the January raeet- ng and the other two members of '-he board one from Dillon end one from Lima, elected Al. Anderson chairman and also inade him fhe cerntj 'a purchasing agent. There is one way, and one way «fly . te a the Big Hole to* get Its jnst dues from the board of county R U D E R U R A L R H Y M E S (vVrttea fox T hb N ews by Bob Adams) OCR SUCCESSORS O, when In country ox fy, town 1 walk with Hannah up and down, 1 see some good kids and some cranky, some neat and some that need a hanky; but be they full of siu or gtacc some one of theta will take my platse. Although my hair is not yet gray I'm getting older every day; >ea, though my gait ro limp fs showing I’m getting nearer where I'm going. Dear sir, though not yet old as Priam, you're in the. self-same boat as 1 am. Dear madam, though your charms are phuty, P R | ’ never more will weigh one- tweuty. Full many a rural church has rusted, and many a fair and grange las busted, because in grown-up folks they trusted. Without a tor, without a sound, this dizzy earth goes ’round. O, nevef does a trip begin but some good worker cashes in, and never sinks a weary sun but sees some leader's labors done. Some kid already in the trace must step on up to take our places, and all our churchs, fairs and granges should have some young blood to meet these changes. Else, when we sleep benath the dalsis. th cuus w lov will go to blazes. Yea, when we rest beneath our hummocks, the good old town will go ker- ftummux So let us train the youngster dapper, and seek to civilize the flapper. O, let us teach the kids life's rules in clubs and camps and Sunday schools, and then sit hack upon our pants and give the younger folks a chance. — BOB ADAMS I ! ¡ !

It was realized, from the great demand for fig preserves that came to the extension office, that the figs wasted each year In southwestern Mississippi could he turned into a good cash income for the farm wo men of the “date. Investigation showed that the shelves of the lead ing grocer* were stoeked with Cali fornia fig i reserves instead of those prepared Iocs'ly. A standard recipe was introduced by the home demonstration agent in each etranly and dab members who hid figs were instructed In the meth od of putting up a product that could compete with highly standard ized eonfftnereial products. Members who enrolled for this work oven took precast mb to buy sirup ther mometers in order to have a perfect pre.Mrvt for sale.
