# IRISH SOCIETIES TO PICNIC TODAY
## 500 Natives of "Auld Sod" and Their Children to Hold Annual Outing at Washoe Park, Anaconda.
Natives of the "Green Isle," and their sons and daughters, together numbering more than 500, will journey westward to Anaconda today for the annual picnic of the United Irish Societies of Butte, which will be held in Washoe park.
An additional train will be put on to supplement the usual Sunday service of the Butte, Anaconda and Pacific and on this special excursion rates will be granted. Arrangements have been made for bringing the picnicers to Washoe park following their arrival in Anaconda.
To the woman winner of the 50-yard dash a prize of poetical significance will be given in the awarding of a crown of wild olive leaves, brought to Butte from California. Yet a mystery, but promised to be equally interesting, is the prize to be awarded the woman with the largest family on the grounds.
Dancing throughout the day will be one of the attractions of the outing program, which also includes a long list of athletic events for which valuable prizes are offered. It includes a 100-yard dash, broad jump, step and jump, 100-yard dash for boys under 14, 50-yard dash for girls under 15, 100-yard dash for men and 50-yard dash for women.
Women of the Irish societies in charge of the arrangements are Miss Catherine Harrington, Miss Mary McLaughlin, Miss Catherine Gilmore, Miss Nellie Connelly, Mrs. Mamie Melia, Miss Lavina Collins, Mrs. Nora Rowan, Mrs. Margaret Kiley, Mrs. M. O'Meara and Mrs. R. Pierce.
The committee members also include the following well-known active workers in all the Irish welfare work: Judge J. J. Lynch, chairman of the committee; James E. Murray, Patrick J. Boyle, W. J. Sewell, Charles J. Gallagher, James J. Murphy, J. J. McCarthy, Hugh Daly, John C. Murphy.

The prize-winning picture will be published in the Sunday magazine, but must be submitted one week previous to the date of publication.
# TO ARRANGE PLACING OF EXHIBITS TUESDAY
## Manufacturers to Meet With Special Committee at Chamber Commerce Quarters.
Arrangements for the assignment of space to exhibitors who wish to place samples of their products in the new Chamber of Commerce headquarters will be made Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 when members of the organization's industrial exhibit committee will meet with Butte manufacturers at headquarters in the Pallas building.
"At this Tuesday afternoon meeting we want every manufacturer in Butte to be present," Arthur Merkle, chairman of the committee, stated yesterday. "It is the intention of the Chamber of Commerce to make this exhibit such as will do credit to the industries of Butte and vicinity. We invite every one to help in the work."
In order that every Butte product may be represented, no charge will be made for the display and space will be alloted in the order of requests. To facilitate placing of exhibits, a blue print of the new headquarters and its display space has been prepared, the Union Pacific's reservation being the first allotment shown on the print.
Sub-committees who will assist in the preparation and display of the industrial exhibit which will be a feature of the formal opening of the new Chamber of Commerce headquarters Aug. 16, will be appointed at Tuesday's meeting of the exhibit committee which includes:
Arthur W. Merkle, chairman; Art Linforth, secretary; Charles Boulware, P. M. [Bonino?], E. S. Bartlett, James Burton, Mrs. A. S. Christie, C. H. Clapp, J. S. Cohen, Louis Dreibelbis, B. B. Dakin, C.

# OFFICES OPEN TODAY TO GET FIRE PATROLS
## 15 Additional Experienced Woodsmen Needed for Idaho and Montana.
Recruiting of experienced woodsmen for fire patrols in the Panhandle district of northern Idaho and western Montana is proceeding rather slowly because of the necessity of selecting men thoroughly seasoned in this type of work, according to J. L. Kettridge, forest examiner of the Deer Lodge national forest, who is in charge of the work of obtaining Butte's quota of fire prevention guards.
Ten men were shipped to Missoula headquarters Saturday night and others will be sent out just as fast as qualified applicants appear. To speed up recruiting in the emergency, the offices of the Deer Lodge forest service on the second floor of the Butte Water company's building will be opened Sunday afternoon and Mr. Kettridge will interview applicants there.
Fire patrol men are paid $100 a month and board, room and equipment is furnished them, in addition to which their transportation is paid both ways. Fifteen additional men are still needed for this work.

# INDUSTRIES SLOW IN GIVING INFORMATION
## Distrust of Printed Questionnaires, Retarding Work of Industrial Census.
Lack of co-operation on the part of industrial firms and corporations of Montana is greatly hindering the industrial census of Montana, which should be completed within 60 days, according to Allen E. Drake, who is supervising the work in this state.
"The census, which includes statistics covering mining, manufacturing and quarrying industries of the state, would progress much more rapidly were it not for the suspicion with which the general public and particularly the taxpayer regards the printed questionnaires used in gathering necessary data," Mr. Drake declared. "No information that could in any way react unfavorably on those furnishing it is collected by the industrial census agents, but nevertheless the fact that this data must be recorded on printed sheets creates an atmosphere of suspicion, which hampers the work to a large extent," he said.
Supervisor Drake's offices are in the Butte federal building.

# Is It a Good Bank?
## A Natural Question When a New Banking Connection Is Under Consideration
A good bank is one which combines strength and service in a high degree, and that is what the Silver Bow National Bank does. Modern equipment, experienced officers and employes and a handsome home combine for constructive banking service.
Do you realize that a good banking connection, with all that it implies, may mean the difference between success and failure in your business. There are many instances where a business started by men of little means, but of integrity and ability, has, through wise banking connections, become strong and prosperous.
This bank has helped a large number of business men, both in times of prosperity and in periods of storm and stress. We offer a bank large enough to inspire the confidence of our clients, but not too large to give every consideration to the interests of each customer.
