Page overview

A front-section page of The Anaconda Standard for Wednesday, January 2, 1924, mixing local Butte and Anaconda news with advertising. The page carries several substantial news columns — a cold-wave weather story, a home fire report, a vaccination-records drive, and organisational news — alongside heavy retail advertising for Lutey's grocery, Central Theatres, and Hennessy's department store. The editorial tone is brisk and civic-minded, with a noticeable concentration of Butte business and community items. Advertising occupies roughly the left third and right quarter of the page, with news columns running through the centre and upper sections.

Juxtapositions

  • The 'SOFTLEY RETIRES TO BUILD NEW LINE' business story sits immediately adjacent to 'COLLECT CARDS OF VACCINATION' and 'HOME DESTROYED BY RAPID FLAMES,' placing a modest entrepreneurial announcement in the same visual register as a fire disaster and a public-health order.
  • The 'BUTTE WILLING TO THAW OUT A LITTLE' cold-wave feature runs directly above a McCarthy's Pure Food Stores price-list advertisement, juxtaposing civic discomfort with consumer grocery bargains.

In order that he may devote h[i?]s time to marketing the Super-Shine polish which he invented after several years of experimenting, E. W. Softley has retired from Murphy-Softley, the women's apparel shop on West Park street. His retirement marks the termination of 21 years connected with merchandising in Butte. Mr. Softley's first connection in Butte was with the Hennessy company, where he remained for 18 years, making a reputation as a window dresser, his displays attracting attention frequently in national apparel magazines. Three years ago he became one of the partners in Murphy-Softley's, which took over the shop known as Green's on West Park street. Some years ago Mr. Softley started experimenting to produce a polish that would give satisfactory results when applied to highly varnished surfaces. A short time ago he announced that he had discovered the required formula and began producing enough to place in a number of Butte stores. So satisfactory was the reception of the new polish locally that Mr. Softley considered it was worthy of wider distribution. He already has preliminary plans made for quantity production and Super-Shine will probably soon begin to make its appearance in other parts of the state. # BUTTE WILLING TO THAW OUT A LITTLE ## Third Day of Cold Wave Expected to Be Finish. Not So Cold Today. The storm is passed, and Butte, following three days of weather that ranged all the way from 15 to 25 below, is prepared to emerge slowly from the effects of three of the coldest days it has experienced in four years. It was the prediction, after the advent of the cold wave, that a break in the storm would come about yesterday, and although the temperature has not altogether settled to a point of comfort, it is not expected that it will descend lower than 10 degrees, if that low, today. The minimum recorded for the 24 hours ended at 5 o'clock last night was 17 below, while the maximum temperature for the same length of time was one point under the zero mark. It is expected that the maximum for the 24 hours ending at 5 o'clock this evening will be above the zero mark for the first time since Saturday. Warmer temperature was noticeable during the afternoon yesterday. Following the early morning cold which carried the thermometer to 17 degrees below, a steady rise in temperature began about 1 o'clock, at which time a mark of 10 below was recorded. At 3 o'clock the mercury gained four degrees and continued rising until at 5 o'clock official record was made at the weather bureau of five below. During the evening the thermometer gradually fell and at 7 o'clock the weather office announced a temperature of seven below. Until 9 o'clock the thermometer dropped less than two degrees. At 11 o'clock the thermometer registered 11 below. "Not quite so cold; fair weather" is the forecast for today from the Helena weather bureau. There is a possibility of a snowfall in the next 24 hours, which would materially help in checking the extra low temperature. Although the cold wave appears to have slightly broken in the state, there are still a number of places that felt a lowering temperature over the previous day. Miles City was 12 degrees colder yesterday than Monday, while Havre, the coldest point in the state Sunday, experienced a rise in temperature Monday but was four degrees colder yesterday. Yellowstone park, with temperature of 34 below Monday, recorded only 14 below yesterday. Billings, although temperature reading shows it six degrees warmer than Monday, is still in the grip of a severe cold wave and yesterday, temperature averaged about 25 degrees below. Temperature readings from the Montana Power sub-stations around the state at 8 o'clock yesterday morning follow: Butte ...... 16 below Billings ...... 27 below Livingston ...... 14 below Hebgen Dam ...... 15 below Madison ...... 17 below Canyon Ferry ...... 26 below Hauser Lake ...... 24 below Boulder ...... 22 below Rainbow ...... 18 below Great Falls ...... 17 below # LITTLE DUSKY ROSE IS WAIF NO LONGER Calm settled over the personnel of St. James' hospital with the dawn of the new year, when the mother of a little colored girl baby, left at the hospital Sunday night by her parents, who disappeared into the darkness, returned to watch over her child. The little pickanniny was taken to the hospital late Sunday night by her father and mother. The parents said the baby needed medical attention. A nurse provided a crib, placed the baby in it and went to search for the house physician. When she returned, the parents had left, but the black-eyed, dusky-hued baby was still in the crib. Last night both the father and mother appeared at the hospital expressing some dismay that Sisters and nurses had imagined that they intended to desert the bright little cherub. The mother said that she wanted the baby to have proper care when the child appeared ill and that she knew the staff at St. James' would look out for the infant. She asked that the little one be kept for a few days and to this the hospital authorities gladly assented. Meanwhile nurses on the second floor spend their precious spare moments gazing in admiration at the cooing babe. A sunny and ever-ready smile has captivated the hospital attendants, and few tots of white skin have caused such furore in that hospital as "Dusky Rose," as the nurses have named the eight-month-old babe. ## Column 4 # COLLECT CARDS OF VACCINATION ## School Principals Today to Start Making Record of All Presented. When Butte schools reopen this morning after the Christmas holidays, all pupils will be permitted to enter their classrooms whether or not they have certificates showing that they have been successfully vaccinated. "We will collect all vaccination certificates that are presented by pupils this morning," said Supt. A. H. Douglass last night. "These certificates will be recorded by the principal of each school, and the certificate returned to the pupil. We will continue to collect and record these certificates as long as they are submitted by the pupils." "If people will only avoid becoming hysterical over the vaccination order as it applies to the public schools, we will get through this thing without any trouble," he added. How long the executive officers of the city schools intend to permit children to continue to attend classes without submitting a certificate of successful vaccination, as ordered by the state board of health, Mr. Douglass declined to state, saying instead: "The order of the state board of health will be carried out as prescribed by the laws of Montana, unless a restraining order is issued by constituted authority." Judge W. E. Carroll Saturday issued a restraining order in the case of Leona Gibson, 8-year-old daughter of Henry M. Gibson. Leona may re-enter school today without a certificate of vaccination, and may attend daily until Jan. 7, when a hearing will be heard on her petition for a permanent injunction. Free vaccination will be resumed today at the courthouse, between the hours of 4 and 6 p. m., and will continue for the remainder of this week. After Saturday night the free clinic will be closed. Following a check-up on the number of school children who have been vaccinated at the free clinic, Dr. Dan J. Donohue, county health officer, said yesterday that 2,145 children have taken advantage of the free clinic. The number of pupils who were vaccinated at the free clinic, according to the schools which they attend, follows: Grant, 179; Butte high school, 118; Garfield, 109; Lincoln, 107; Emerson, 106; Webster, 95; Monroe, 89; Washington Junior high, 78; Greeley, 72; Blaine, 59; Sherman, 53; Whittier, 52; Harrison, 39; Jefferson, 38; Butte Business college, 27; Franklin, 23; Longfellow, 18; Hawthorne, 17; Madison, 15; administration building, 9; miscellaneous, 7. Parochial schools: St. Patrick's, 112; St. Joseph's, 104; St. Mary's, 79; St. Lawrence's, 67; Immaculate Conception, 72; Sacred Heart, 62; Central high, 59; St. John's, 48; Holy Savior, 34; St. Ann's, 31.

Is Good for Today and Tomorrow ## Column 5 # HOME DESTROYED BY RAPID FLAMES ## Volunteers Give Different Versions of Outbreak in South Side House. Fast-spreading flames, which spurted out suddenly, razed the home of F. J. Skrastin, 3088 Floral Park boulevard, shortly after 7 o'clock last night while the family was away. Neighbors saved some furniture. An overheated stove might have started the blaze in the ceiling of the home, which had five large rooms, in the opinion of the owner, who had left the house only about an hour before. The damage totaled close to $8,000, according to Skrastin, who arrived from uptown while the blaze was at its hegiht [sic]. The place was insured for $8,000, the owner stated. It was shortly after 7 o'clock when Albert Mitchell, who was waiting for a car, saw fire leap from the roof. He notified residents near by and in a few moments half a dozen men had smashed windows and entered the house in an endeavor to quell the fire. Eugene Corrie, assistant principal of the high school, and Carl Warner, neighbors, with a number of young men carried some of the furniture to the street, but the flames spread so rapidly little could be saved. Inside of 10 minutes the whole structure was in flames. Several small hoses were played on homes on each side of the fire as a few sparks were carried in those directions and the volunteers, pushing with long timbers, toppled the burning walls to avoid further danger to the other houses. Deputy Sheriff Jack Duggan arrived on the scene while the fire was at its height and conducted a preliminary investigation of possible causes. Skarastin [sic] and his family had left the house about an hour before and, according to the former, he left a fire in a heating store [sic]. Some of the first people to arrive at the fire stated that the stove was redhot when they entered the house and that they believed the blaze originated around the ceiling. The fire followed two burglaries at the meat market owned by Skrastin, misfortunes of the week, he stated. Friday and Monday nights his place was entered and about $250 worth of turkeys were stolen. # ORGANIZING CLUB MONTANA PEOPLE ## Butte Well Represented in List of Officials of Temporary Organization. "The Montana club" is the name of an organization about to be effected in Los Angeles. A temporary organization has already established headquarters in the Bank of Italy building and chosen temporary officers. A letterhead received by a Butte resident reads: President pro tem., Dr. T. B. Moore; vice presidents pro tem., Mrs. E. B. Weirick, T. P. Cullen, J. M. Rhoades, Dr. E. F. Maginn, John A. Coleman; treasurer, E. B. Weirick. The executive committee is composed of John A. Coleman, chairman, and Charles B. Lorch, secretary. Other committee members are Ray F. George, Mrs. E. B. Weirick, Dr. J. J. Tobinski, Dr. T. B. Moore, Clyde F. Murphy, Thomas D. Long, Dr. E. F. Maginn, Phil Levy and E. B. Stack. ### The Objects. The objects as outlined in the membership circular are: "To know where all Montanans live; to find out Montana friends; to extend courtesy and information to all Montanans; to get Montanans to meet socially; to keep Montanans informed as to Montana conditions and to promote the welfare of all Montanans." It is proposed to maintain commodious clubrooms. "Yours for the greater glory of all Montanans and the grand old state of Montana," says the organization statement of these self-expatriated citizens and ex-citizens of Butte. # NEW KIWANIS CHIEFS ASSUME OFFICE TODAY Officers of the Butte Kiwanis club for 1924 will assume their respective offices today when the club meets at its regular weekly luncheon at the Thornton hotel. President A. P. Stephenson will preside. Committee chairmen will be asked to outline their plans for the year. New Year's greetings sent out by the secretary yesterday enjoined Kiwanians to make a lot of New Year resolutions and "break them all if you wish but one and let that be 100 per cent attendance during 1924." # BUT LITTLE TROUBLE REPORTED ON HOLIDAY Butte passed one of its quietest New Years in history as far as offenses against laws are concerned, Chief of Police Murphy reported last night when a survey of the police blotter showed but few arrests and these on minor charges. Where last year more than 50 were brought into the city jail as a result of holiday hilarity, less than 20 had been booked last evening from two nights of celebration. Most of the number were charged with disturbance, several were listed as vagrants while others were either drunks or charged as liquor dispensers. One man was booked on a gambling complaint. # STOLEN TAXICAB IS LOCATED IN CITY Reese Williams' stolen taxicab was found yesterday morning by Officer Joe Powell on West Galena street, parked in front of the Lutey store. According to Williams, he drove a party to the Five Mile Monday night and while debating with one member, the remaining four jumped into the car and drove away. Ed Gilmore, one of the party who chartered the cab, and who argued with Williams about the pay, is being held in the city jail. Gilmore was taken into custody Monday night after Williams had reported the loss of his car. The machine was found in good condition[.?] ## Column 6 [advertisement, spans columns 6-7] Butte's Favorite Playhouses THE CENTRAL THEATRES [boxed] A theme so vivid it digs into your very soul.
