## If Time Is Money
And it certainly is in Butte, no man who has work to do or appointments to keep can afford to carry a dollar watch. For a little more money, say from $5 to $8.50, we sell a good, substantial watch, reliable as a timekeeper and of good appearance. Carry them in three sizes, 12, 16 and 18, from 7 to 15 jewels.

# TALK ON VOCATIONS BY CHURCH SPEAKERS
### MANY ATTENDANTS AT SERVICES IN CATHOLIC CHURCHES.
### A CALL FOR MORE WORKERS
*Father McMullen preaches in St. Patrick's church—Mgr. De Siere and Father Batens are on their way home from Cuba.*
Observing yesterday as the fourth Sunday before Easter, many masses were celebrated in the different Catholic churches of the parishes of Butte. An early mass was held at 8 o'clock, another at 9:30 and high mass at 11.
The regular evening devotional services began at 7:30 o'clock. The evening services consisted of the rosary, sermon and benediction.
The subject of yesterday's sermon, which was treated along the same lines in all of the churches, was on "Vocations, or the Priesthood," being a call for workers for the church as against the call of the industries for workers. Father McMullen, president of Mount St. Charles college at Helena, preached yesterday morning in St. Patrick's church and Father McDonough, a member of the faculty of the same institution, assisted Father Bourke, who conducted the services in St. Lawrence's parish, Centerville.
Both of the visitors returned to Helena yesterday afternoon in order to participate in the work of the school on Monday.
Father Bourke of St. Lawrence parish, who has won many friends in the last few weeks, while shouldering the burden of the entire parish in the absence of Father Batens, said that he had received word from the latter and he was expected in Butte on Wednesday or Thursday, accompanied by Mgr. De Siere. Both have been away for the past few weeks resting in Cuba.
The sermons which were preached throughout Butte on the call of the priesthood were largely attended. The usual extra services, which are held several times during the week, will be continued this week as usual. The attendance at the special masses last week was excellent. Efforts will be made to increase them steadily.

# SEEK PERFECTION SAYS A LECTURER
### YET PSYCHOLOGIST SAYS IT IS SELDOM ATTAINED.
### HEALTH, WEALTH, HAPPINESS
*The Rev. Mr. Jefferson addresses Young Men's association at regular Sunday afternoon meeting. Follow a congenial vocation.*
With a large number of the members of the Young Men's association present, the Rev. J. Jefferson made an address at the regular Sunday afternoon meeting yesterday with a psychological topic as his theme. His subject was "Health, Wealth and Happiness." He said in part:
"American, English, German, French, Irish and Swedish people all believe in promoting the health, wealth and happiness of all. The nation or the individual that did not believe in the title of this lecture would be a very strange nation and a most peculiar person indeed. Without health it is
[image: portrait engraving of a man in profile]
THE REV. J. JEFFERSON.
positively essential that we can gain neither wealth nor happiness. Therefore I will explain to you a little about the necessity of keeping your bodily and spiritual person in first-class condition. I will not dilate upon the subject of eugenics, but whenever any one takes up the line I would deem best to commence the education of a child I generally say about 1,000 years before the child is born. I truthfully feel this would be the proper time to begin to build up the tissue for the making of a healthy body and fine mentality.
"To build and keep up a healthy body, and useful personality, you hardly need to be told to abstain from the drug habits of artificial stimulants or sedatives, which are the nerve destroyers. We live by our nerves and the nerves are the part of our organism that are the most clearly related to the spirit and the soul.
"In the divine science of the higher psychology we find that what is termed the 'holy ghost' increases the growth and keeps in fine tune all the nerves of your body that lead to the lungs and vital organs. The 'holy ghost' then is the breath of your body. We know that the last act that Jesus performed was to 'give up the ghost.' The breath is the spirit and the life. Breathe deeply and rhythmically. We must not despise any means to keep ourselves in normal shape.
"Physical culture is excellent for the development of the muscular parts of the body. Psycho-physical culture and metaphysical movement cure is good; so is hydropathy, dietetics, and so along the entire list of new discoveries. Yet let it be distinctly understood that few, if any, aspirants to perfection of any kind attain that desired end. At least not on this earth; but this fact must never lessen your ardor in striving toward perfection—try and get as near this ultimate state as you can. Man is never perfect in any way, shape or form—no woman ever embraces her ideal.
"On this planet of the earth we know that there is not one single person that is perfect. Here we are all souls militant. The souls triumphant will be in the spiritual world. Therefore, do not make the awful error of looking to find perfection in your brothers and sisters, and thus avoid more awful disappointment.
"Dieting should be indulged the most carefully. It is difficult to know just what is best for us, especially if we are young. Sometimes we want a thing and after we get it we don't want it. As I was on the train coming to Butte, a mother sat with her little baby at the open car window. The child made continuous attempts to jump out of the window of the moving train and the mother kept just as continuously reproving it by light spankings. The child cried against its mother because she would not let it jump out of the window.
"If however, good desires come upon you, do not fight, but let them proceed in the manner in which nature intended, so far as is natural only—then place your thought upon some divine subject or in other channels. Never repress any human feeling, for by repression people become abnormal. Look for the good in everything, love every person.
"The reason of the high cost of living is because a few individuals get together and take a corner in everything. Wheat, eggs and all kinds of keepable vegetables, all grains, wool, cotton, silk and diamonds are kept to let go a little distribution at a time. 90 per cent. of all commodities are kept away from the consumer in order to get an extraordinary high price. There can be no even distribution of wealth for all as long as this state of affairs exists.
"If you want to make a financial success of your life, first discover for yourself your natural gifts. What can you do? What line of work do you love the best? You will never be successful in any work of life unless you are engaged in the occupation that is most congenial to you. Now, supposing you have an affection in an equal degree for three or four vocations of usefulness. It would then be the best plan to gather together the different opinions of your friends or the public wherever you may be situated, and whatever occupation the majority of your friends are inclined to think you best suited for—then choose that life vocation and you will no doubt succeed. Develop your character and your qualifications all that you are able, make many friends."

# IRISH TO MARCH ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY
### ALL-DAY OBSERVANCE OF IRELAND'S NATIONAL HOLIDAY.
### BUTTE AND ANACONDA JOIN
*Parade, special church services, public entertainment and three dances to mark March 17 here. Program is completed.*
St. Patrick's day will be widely observed in Butte, judging by the plans formulated yesterday by a committee from the Ancient Order of Hibernians. Larry Duggan was chairman and the meeting was well attended. There will be a parade, a special mass, public meeting in the afternoon and three grand balls in the evening, in addition to the numerous private celebrations that are planned for the day. It is expected that 100 members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians from Anaconda will join in the Butte celebration as the Phil Sheridan club of Anaconda with the Smelter City Fife and drum corps and will observe the day in Butte.
After many years Butte is to have a parade on St. Patrick's day. The parade will form at the Hibernian hall in Centerville and at 3 o'clock will march to St. Joseph's church in South Butte. There, Father McCormick, who is county chaplain for the Hibernians, will sing a special mass. In the parade will be the Irish Volunteers, the two divisions, No. 1 and No. 3, of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the fife and drum corps, and it is expected that the Robert Emmet Literary society and the Gaelic league, with children from the parochial schools will be in the line of March.
After the services at St. Joseph's church the marchers will proceed to the Lewisohn block, the headquarters of division No. 3, and disband.
In the afternoon there will be a public entertainment at the Auditorium at 2 o'clock. W. K. Dwyer, superintendent of schools of Anaconda, will be asked to deliver an address. There will be Irish songs, Irish dances and an entertainment dear to the heart of Celts. In the evening there will be three dances given by the Hibernians at Hibernia hall in Centerville, the Coliseum and the Pallas hall.
County President James J. Murphy will be marshal of the day. Maurice J. McDonough is the secretary. Invitations were issued to Great Falls, Missoula and Helena Irish organizations to join in Butte's celebration. It is predicted that this year's parade will be one of the greatest ever held on Ireland's national holiday.
The committees in charge of the affair are:
Halls, printing and music—T. J. McCarthy, Edward Lawlor and J. J. Murphy.
Tickets—Larry Duggan, J. K. O'Rourke and James Connolly.
Band—Vincent J. Doyle, Martin Joyce and Robert McGee.
Church—J. J. Lynch, J. K. O'Rourke and Bernard McAlenden.
Musical and literary—James Cummins, J. J. Murphy, M. J. McDonough, Vincent J. Doyle and T. J. McCarthy.
St. Patrick's day celebration will really begin with the Irish-American banquet on the night of March 16.

### FAMOUS WAR PLAY AT THE ORPHEUM THEATER TODAY
"The Battle of Shiloh," the great Lubin photoplay much heralded throughout the country as the most remarkable war picture ever produced, is in Butte and for two days only, will be shown at the Orpheum theater. A whole regiment of soldiers has been used in the production, and the battle scene as produced by the Lubin company will go down in the future of the photoplay industry.
Robert Drouet as Tom Winston, John Ifice as Frank Carey, Peggy O'Nelie as Ellen Winston and Blanche West as Ethel Carey are the leading characters in the cast of 20 prominent players. The story is based upon an incident of the civil war in which brothers and sisters in two southern families join the opposing factions. Ethel Carey enters the service of the Union, while her brother Frank enlists with the South. Ellen Winston acquires a commission in the confederate army, while her brother Tom stays with the North.
The work that follows brings about many thrills, including a sensational jump over a high cliff while on horseback by Ethel, the union spy.
But greatest of all is the battle of Shiloh. For a time the victorious confederates press forward and storm the union position. General Johnston is mortally wounded and the tide of battle again shifts, this time favoring the North. The battle lulls as the gray ranks sullenly withdraw.
During the heat of the battle Tom and Frank are prominently identified with the big events. Frank saves Tom from execution by a brave sacrifice. Facing death, Frank escapes in a remarkable manner.
At home the two girls have forgotten their bitter personal feelings in their mutual apprehension for their lovers and brothers. For out of the grim battle has sprung up a double love affair which reaches its climax in a beautiful and realistic manner.
