MISSOULA'S PEOPLI
CARELESS ABOUT
THEIR POOR
SALVATION ARMY IN NEED OF
CLf' ,AND WILL GO INTO
:FOR VEGETABLES.
The people of .Missoula have been
laboring under the impression that
they. have no poor in their midst for
so long that they may be somewhat
surprised to kn'ow the real conditions,"
said Captain V. Bryant of the Salva
ti6n army last night. "I do not wish
to spread an alarm or to infer that
Missoula is a city of indigent poor.
Nothing like that is true. But I be
lieve that many have lost track of how
the City has been growing during the
past few years and have not realized
that where they could once count the
number,of poor families on the fingers
of otie hand that now even two hands
are not enough. Of course we have
very few extreme cases, but there are
several and to relieve these we need
considerable help, especially in the
matter of children's clothes."
One Extreme Case.
The captain cited an example of
what he meant by an extreme case,
one of which a.alme to his attention
yesterday. It was in a shack of a
house where he found a mother and
four children. The Idddies all slept
in one bed. They had but one com
forter and this was half over and
half under them. The father was
working, but was unable' to draw any
money for several wee }s. The arny
provided plenty of bedcl'thes at Atde
and the children slept warmly last
night for the first time, perhaps. In
many days. Today the army will try
and assist the family farther with
some vegetables.
After Vegetables.
"A few days ago I secured a horse,"
said Captain Bryant, and have been
making little excursions into the coun
try after potatoes and other vege
tables. I have a couple of good cel
lars in town to keep them in for dis
tribution during the winter. We
vould be glad to hear from anyone
who will help us in this way. A tele
phone call to me, 794 Bell, will be
promptly answered and we will be
glad to go after the vegetables offered.
Clothes Most Needed.
"But I hope the good people of the
citY will remember that we need
clothes most of all. Children's
clothes especially would he welcomed
at this time. What I have said about
the poor I hope Will not cause any
alarm, but if it sets 5onfe to thinking
who are able to assist us in the workl
that will le something accomplished.
As near as I can remember without
looking it up on the hooks, we are as
sisting about ]:, families at the pres
ent time. This takes a good lot of
stuff every month and now that win
ter approaches it will mean more in
the line of clothes. We have a good
supply of bedclothes, but do need other
kinds badly."
LOCAL MASONS TO HEAR
GREAT LECTURER SOON
'lissoul lasons are looking for
ward with much interest to the com
ing on 'Saturday, of Rev. Henry R.
t'oleman, who is to lecture here that
evening and to preach in the Presby
terian church on Sunday afternoon.
Dr. Coleman is supreme chancellor of
the Oriental Order of Pilgrim knights
and past grand chaplain of the grand
lodge of Kentucky. His travels; n
search of more light in Masonry"
have extended through Europe and in
Egypt and Asia as well as in this
cotuntry. His subject here will be
"Freemasonry in the Holy Land."
The lecture will be given in the Ma
sonic temple and all master 'Masons
in good standing are invited to attend.
For pastry there is nothing to
compare with
!r ICottolene
SCottolene "creams up" beautifully, always, and every
cook knows what an advantage that is. It is always
plastic and blends readily with the flour or sugar.
~ , IThis makes Cottolene especially pleasant to use in
H" cakes, pastry, sauces, biscuits and the like.
Have you tried Cottolene yet? If not, do at least
test it for yourself. You will then understand
Ssome of its many advantages. At the same
time, do not forget that food experts advo
cate this wholesome shortening as re
Ilia ble, economical and digestibie.

,Thousands of People Wanted
To the Editor of the Daily Missou
lian-As a member of the student body
of the university, I am keenly Inter
ested in the oncoming football game.
The game with the Utah Agricultural
college was slow and rather disap
pointing to the spectators, but that
does not give a person who did not at
tend the right to find fault with the
varsity team.
We, of the university, have great
faith in the team and think that we
have a right to be proud of the squad
that we call "ours." Missoula is known
as a sporting town, and if the city of
1 Missoula would support the varsity
t football as shd supports baseball, we
r could play here some of the biggest
games in the northwest. We would
like to have some of the greatest teams
of the country here, but how can we
1 take the chance of losing so much
money when every year we lose money
on such games as we play with teams
in the state? If Missoula wishes to
see these big games, she should come
out to the games we do have and there
by make it financially possible for us
to get the bigger ones.
Missoula says that she is back of the
university; this is an opportunity to
QUARITERLY REPORT
fROM MISSOULA
TOEXAMINER
C'ITY HAS BEEN CALLED UPON TO
REPORT TO STATE ITS
FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.
The first statement of the kind that
the city of Missoula has ever been
called upon to furnish to the state to
be put on record at the capital, was
mailed to the state examiner yester
day by City Treasurer Porter. The.
statement was compiled after several
days of work through the joint ef
forts of the city treasurer, City Clerk
Smith, and their assistant, N. P.
Kroone. It covers a period of three
months, August, September and Octo
ber, and gave a strict account of the
city's finances during that period.
The call for this statement comes
under a law passed by the last legis
lature and from this date all cities of
the state are required to prepare and
submit quarterly statements of their
financial affairs. The forms for
these Wports are furnished by the
0tate. At one time it was intimated
thau ,lssojla would be asked to
change its $0stem of bookkeeping, but
a strong objection was made to this
becape the system employed w\\as one
worked out at much trouble and ex
pense to suit the city's needs under
the commission form of government.
The trea'surer and the city clerk did
not object to using certain forms fori
the quarterly report to the state, but
did refuse to make a change in the
system of bookkeeping which has been
highlN coniplimented I. some of the
best accountants in the country.
ERROR IN INFORMATION
AND NEW DNE IS FILED
Because of an error in the prepara
tion of the first informaLtion, a new
one was filed in the district court yes
terday against Jim Daily and John
Domandl, the two men arrested for
strlnging planks and fence rails across
the Bitter Root road near Lolo. The
first information accused the defend
ants of "removing and displacing and
otherwise injuring a public highway,"
while yesterday's information saysI
that the men are guilty of "obstruct
ing a highway, a felony." The pris
oners pleaded not guilty to the new
information and their bonds were left
as before, $1,000.
prove that statement. Bozeman had
2,000 people at the game there. Mis
soula is a better city than Bozeman
ever will be, and should turn out a big
ger crowd than Bozeman ever did or
can. We expect 4,000 people at the
game. This will not only be support
ing the university, but will also be dis
playing a high quality of civic pride.
This game will be advertised not
only in Missoula, but also in Helena,
Butte, Anaconda, and in the entire Bit,
ter Root valley. Such advertisement is
worth something to the merchants of
Missoula. Some people are coming
here just for that game, and if it is
worth the trouble of traveling to see,
it certainly sltould be worth the time
and trouble of getting on a car and
coming out to the grounds to watch.
We-are spending big money on this
game, and in so doing we are helping
not only the university and the foot
ball team. but we are also helping the
city. We expect your support. Will
you come out and help us? Let every
loyal citizen of Missoula elect himself
a member of the "Four Thousand
Club" and work hard to have a big
crowd at that game. Sincerely yours,
L. E. FORBES.
NEW STYLE BRIDGE
FOR PERMANENT
HIGHWAYS
FIR.ST TWO FINISHED NEAR LOLO
AND COMMISSIONERS ARE
PLEASED WITH RESULTS.
Yesterday the first two bridges, con
structed under the county's new
scheme for the smaller crossings, were
completed near Lolo. Without being
able to figure the cost absolutely accu
rate, on account of some of the hills
not having been received, an estimate.
furnished shows that the scheme
worked well in this instance, and that
if it is carried out throughout the
county it will affect a great saving.
Short Bridges and Fills.
The bridges completed yesterday
were the two short crossings built to
take the 'place of the old one just this
side of Lolo. The new ones are only
12 feet long, while the one they re
place was 140 feet in length. The new
ones are built of concrete, and there
is a solid fill between them. Their cost
is approximately $400, while to have
replaced the old bridge would have
meant an expenditure of fully $700.
Next Year's Plans.
The small concrete cunlverts and
bridges w\ill be put in next year wher
ever a new bridge is needed. It is
planned if enough are needed to make
it worth while, that instead of building
them by day labor the county will let
a contract for the whole lot and thus
further reduce the cost. These con
crete bridges are just a. part of the
permanent good road work which the
county has been doing for the past
two years.

MONTANA EACH YEAR IMPORTS
VAST QUAINTITIES OF FOOD
AND DAJRY PRODUCTS.
Helena, Nov. 6,--(Special.)-A bulle
tin just issued by AV. J. Swindlehurst,
commissioner of the department of la
bor and industri. contains mnny-y im
portant statistic' and some very in
teresting inforni;tiion relative to the
year's importations into Montana of
dairy, poultry andc meat Iprducts.
After a thorough .and conservative
investigation of :H, state, the depart
ment places the ni,,t implortation, in
cluding hams, ba(c i and lard and nmut
ton, irrespectivt of live and dressed
poultry, at 12.0ti1.000 pounds. The
average wholesale price of these prod
ucts is approximately 21 cents per
pound, which wount give a value of
$2,520,000 for tne.>t implortations alone.
Another surprising condition is the
importation of lix, and dressed poul
try. This estimat:, is given at $1,300,
000, while 150,00, ,ltses of eggs at 30
dozen each were ihppd, intot the state
during the past 12' months. At 30
cents per dozen, tie egg importation
would-amount to ti.25:,.000. The Ipoul
try products woel thereftore, total
$2,850,000.
The creamery l.'i,<n.ss is another in
dustry showing ;t l,.!, If growth, itm

creameries in th, s:iate. Montana an

wholesale price of I utter has averaged
31 cents the ptust _":-.u', and cheese,
of which practicill Ione is tmade in
the state, has : ,i at tO2 cents per
pound.
Based on these. t:ic.es, and adding
thereto 300 cars i, lt,1 w pounds Ca

be as follows:

It is a lialtr of extreme regret, says
the bulletil. tnit Montana annlllally
ships mlany ti a.n loads of cattle, sheep
and swine t,, the eastern markets,
w)iile large ni:ontities of fresh mnat
are returnelld ti the state to supplyl the
local cons't tllI ti.ll.
C'olllnissionier Swindlet ust believres
that with ptrper financial support the
slaughterinig, ptking and shilpping of
mneats slouldt tild] will in the near fu
ture hecon ll. important indllustry in
the state.
The hullltiii goes ont to state that
there amre Its\ O0 creameries in the
state, and _'. of them are idle at the
present thinm. This condition is said 1t
be due to ih." alct that this important
indlistry is alpalrently passing throng Ii
the exlperis.enttll stage in Mlontana,
which has miiik'd the early establish
Ilient Of Claiculi tle ill overy .utler
state.
'While thi pnltry industry is young
here, i'ianni-si.iler Swinttlehturst cllst
attentimon i, 1lI1. marked contrast Ite
t\ween the i.ilu'es compiled by his Ide
paIrtmlent ;an the calculations just
Ipublished l .hi hn T. Fitzpatrick of the
llurean of I:- w statistics for the slate
of Misslouri i Irn the year 1912. These
figures estimmit that poultry anld.eggs
to the valut. ,,f $48,678,240 were sold by
the farmers of Missoutri for that year.
These recn,,l-breaking figures woiiil
apparently Iii.iin that Missoturl is still
the "poolht\ tleten Of the unionl"---the
title lbesttiieal fIour years ago \ttlhen
that state, tlk first rank for this in
dustry ovr\ all other states.
The adcl:uic"' acost of neat, says thll.
bulletin, this created an increase( dle
tiand for eggs and poultry and dairy
products in the state, and with such a
favorable market as Montana affords
in every city and village, it is confi
dently expected that both the dairy
and lpoultry industry will soon assume
that inl. ortai'nce which the prosti-ects
and tconditions f the state would seem
to warrant. I

If your child's stomach, liver and

of mothers keep this harmless "fruit
