HELENA. Mont., Dec. 26.—What is
declared to be the first army lodge
of Masons established during the
present war by the state grand lodge,
has just been constituted by the grand
lodge of Montana and designated as
Montana Army Lodge No. 1. During
the Spanish-American war records
show that there were three such
lodges, established by the grand
lodges of Montana, North Dakota and
Kentucky. During the civil war sev
eral state grand lodges constituted
such bodies. *•* • >
Any Mason in good standing whd
is a member of a lodge in a grand
jurisdiction in fraternal relation with
the grand lodge of Montana, and who
is a member of the 163rd infantry
regiment (Second Montana), may be
come a companion of the Montana
army lodge. The lodge has the right
to admit to companionship by affilia
tion Masons serving in the army and
navy of the United States who are
regularly affiliated with lodges hold
ing charters from the grand lodge of
Montana, or if affiliated with lodges
holding charters from the Grand Lodge
of Montana, or if affiliated with lodges
outside the state are citizens of the
state.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 26.—That
the British war slogan “do your bit”
is inadequate and inappropriate for
this country and is tending to slow
up effort on the part of many of the
people is the growing conviction of
those connected here with the feder
al food administration for California.
In England to do one’s “bit” im
plies the carrying through of an un
dertaking to its accomplishment. In
the United States, and on the Pacific
coast in particular, the general con
ception of a bit is a relatively small
thing. It is a term applied to 12 1-2
cents. j';s • • ' T
“A ‘bit’ conveys the idea of a small
piece or a morsel and probably has r
wrong psychological effect on th !
people,” said Ralph P. Merritt, feder
al food administrator for California.
“The millionaire who buys a few
thousand dollars worth of Liberty
bonds has done his ‘bit’ but certainly
he has failed by a long margin of
doing his-best.
“If this, the world’s greatest crisis,
does not call for the best efforts of
the American people then certainly
there never will come a time wnen it
cr.n be demanded of them. To do
one’s bit may mean anything or rela
tively nothing. It gives the people
no measure of what is expected of
them. The nation is calling for the
best efforts of its citizens. Every man
or woman, if honest with themselves,
knows whether or not they are doing
their best.
“It would be well for the American
people to forget about "their bit" and
do their best.”

er sheared a sheep and the wool was
brought into Akra, where it was card
f.d and spun. Now Akra has plenty
of yarn at Red Cross headquarters for
