evening after having approved of the
removal of the capital to Moscow and
voting to elect a new central executive

M. Sverdloff. of the central executive

such a peace had to be ratified, but he
hoped the Russian proletariat would
soon come into Its own and regain its
lost position. He pointed out to the
departing members of the congress the
urgent necessity for organisation for
the defense of the fatherland and re
sistance to the enemy's attack, "which
may come suddenly sooner than many
may expect."

of the working people of America was
p-onilsed lo the Russians. The message.
which was read before the vote in rati

Vskos Order of Pioneers Hear Redhot
Argument Against Giving "Smoker"
Instead of Real Party.
SEATTLE, Wash., March 17. (Spe
cial.) The Tukon Order of Pioneers
will hold an informal dance In the
Knights of Pythias Hall, First avenue
and Pike street, on the evening: of
March 21. Back of this announcement
is the atory of a "red-hot" argument
which took place at a recent meeting
of the society, and at which John C.
Macdougall. the 73-year-young -pro-prletor
of the Macdougall Transfer
Company, earnestly pleaded that the
young men of the order De given a
chance to show tome speed and not be
relegated to the rear by the older
members, who wanted to make the
entertainment a "smok6r.
John C. Macdougall was born in On
tario, and as his name implies, came of
hardy Scotch ancestry. He went to
California in 1865, dug two fortunes out
of the mines of that state and Mexico,
lost them and when the Alaska rush
started, loaded a team of horses on
board a ship and went North, where he
operated a transfer business. Return
ing to Seattle, he established his present
business in 1900, with one team.
.While in California Mr. Macdougall
married a native daughter of that state,
and when the couple came to Seattle
they decided they wanted again to
take up the dances of their younger
days'. During the years that had passed
dancing, like almost every other thing,
had changed, so when the venerable
yaung couple tried to dance they found
themselves behind the times and out o'
date. There were two things to do
learn the new dances or give urj and
Mr. and Mrs. Macdougall do not come
of the "give up" kind of people, eo they
began attending dancing school.

True Sentiment Must
Consider This
Cremation is a substitute for all that is
horrible in earth burial. Sentiment that
thinks must go further than the last rite
-at the grave. It must consider nature's
own way of "ashes to ashes, dust to dust."
Cremation is the modern, economical way
of doine in hours what nature does in
years. Cremation is the comforting, last
ing placing away of the departed.
