One hundred cents for
your dollar—
The price you pay for Peerless
Prepared Roofing is based on vvhat it costs
to manufacture. The figure we ask is the lowest
price that can be made, for actual cost of material
and manufacture come so close that you'd be
surprised to see how narrow our profit margin is.
But we are satisfied—satisfied to give you one hundred cents'
worth of roofing value for every dollar you spend—satisfied to
JtegHog
because we know that quality will bring you back for more.
Peerless represents the absolute
pinnacle of perfection in the manufacture
of prepared roofing. All that years of experience,
a modern manufacturing plant, skilled workmen, and the best
material possible, can produce is offered under this brand. No
man could ask more. You need not be satisfied with leu.
Are you willing to spend a little time
for the sake of finally and positively ending your
roof troubles and expense? Then—come in and
talk it over.

MARCH WEATHER.
"March came In like a Hon," and
has kept itslilonine characteristics,
pretty well, till the middle of the
month. If it puts on the lamb-like
disposition, to go out with, it will
need to change its temper soon;
which I presume it will do.
This Iilonine March weather is
having its effect on the people es-
pecially the farmers—for we all de-
pend on the soil, in the last analy-
sis, so it is not strange that we are
all interested in the weather ques-
tion.
It is curious how different the
weather effects us, some think the
fruit is killed; some that the wheat
is very much injured; some that the
time for sowing oats is past, and
with these things, we are in a bad
Others look upon the coming sea-
son with a cheerful heart, and a
smiling face; the fruit is all right;
wheat is green and growing; and
oats will yield a record crop thisi
way.
Why is not the latter way of look-
ing at It better than the former?
What we think about it will make
very little difference with the sea-
son, or the crops, but it will make
a big difference with us, Snd our
families and our friends.
Another thing, is it not likely that
the weather-snow, ice frozen ground
—may exterminate millions of pests
which destroy our crops, and germs
injurious to health?
The old colored man said, "It is
an ill wind that blows no whar!"
And .so it Is an ill weather indeed,
which does no good to the human
family. Perhaps the providential plan
is to order the weather to do the
most good to the greatest number.
It is hard on the minority, but the
next turn may put the minority into
the majority, and thus, things would
be evened up.
It is not a good plan to watch the
clouds and winds, and follow their
indications, for, while they are all
under laws, the laws which control
them are not understood by us. The
good book says, "He that observeth
the winds shall not sow and he that
regardeth the clouds shall not reap."
So since we have been promised
seed—time and harvest, it is best
to plow and plant In the- spring;
cut and care for the harvest In the
fall, and leave the wind and the
clouds and he weather to Him who
is better informed than we are, and
who is more interested In us and
ours, than our earthly father is in
his children.
I can no* help feeling, that the
way we spend money, from our crops
may have something to do with the
sun-shine and the storm, which do
so much with producing a crop. Why
should God give one a record crop,
when he knows that the crop-money
will go to promote sins in the world,
afid to tempt men to wrong and sin-
ful lives?

Mr. J. P. Decker, Editor Patriot
Thanking you very kindly for
space In the columns of your paper
for a letter. I shall endeavor to
give the readers of the Patriot a
sketch of my observation of the city
of Butte, Montana, and surrounding
country.
Butte is located In tho Bouth cen-
tral part of ^ontana and Is built on
the south side of the chain of the
Rockies, and is the largest mining
camp in the world; copper and zinc
being the principle products.
Butte proper has a population of
about 40,000, Including the suburbs
about 80,000, and has a socialist
Mayor.
The climate the past winter has
been very mild, in fact it is said to
have been the mildest they have had
for a number of years. The coldest
la Butte being 19 degrees below, and
at Havre (the coldest town in the
state) 26 and 30 degrees. The sum-
mers are very mild and pleasant
with sufficient rainfall to afford one
of the most beautiful parks in the
United States.
Butte is a union town, and all
laborers and employees belong to
tho union. Men clerks start with a
salary of $21. per week and ladies
start at $13 per week, and have cer-
tain hours to work, beginning at
eight o'clock a. m. and closing at
six p. m. Their system of time is
very strict, and should one desire
to purchase something five minutes
before eight he would be compelled
to wait. School teaehers in the rural
districts draw a salary from $00 to
$80 per month.
In the following I will give the
price of some of the necessary eat-
ables. Butter 45 cents per pound,
eggs 40 to "5 cents per dozen, Bacon
28cents per pound, fresh pork 20
cents per pound, potatoes 8 pounds
for 25 cents, folur $4.30 per hundred
and other things in proportion.
The surrounding country is very
unlevel, and is divided into ranches
Stock raising is the prniciple in
dustry. Again thanking you for the
opportunity of placing this letter In
your paper I am,

THE COUNTY ASSESSOR ACT.

county assessor act connection with
the onerous tax burdens of the day
Pardon us if we exclaim: "We
told you so."
This question has been before the
last two sessions of the legislature
We are glad to call attention to the
fact that the representative from
Oklahoma county In the legislature,
both in the house and senate, having
uniformly voted against the county
assessor ' act. The experience of the
past with both systems has not been
so soon forgotten,—Oklahman 3-12-12.

THE PRAYER OF A HORSE. v
To Thee, My Master, I Offer My
Prayer:
Feed me, water and care for me,
and when the day's work is done
provide me with shelter, a clean dry
bed and a stall wide enough for me.
Your voice often means as much to
me as the reins.
Pet me sometimes, that I may
serve you the more gladly and learn
to love you.
l)o not jerk the reins, and do not
whip me when going up hill.
Never strike, beat, or kick me
when I do not understand what you
want, but give me a chance to under
stand you. Watch me, and if I fail
to do your bidding see if something
is not wrong with my harness or
feet-
Examine my teeth when I do not
eat. I may have an ulcerated tooth,
anil that, you know, is very painful
Po not tie my head in an unnatural
position, or take away my best de
fense against flies and inisquitoes
by cutting off my tail, or limit my
range of vision by blinders so that
I am frightened by what I cannot
see.
And finally, O, my master, when
my youthful strength is gone, do not
turn me out to starve or freeze, or
sell me to some cruel owner to be
slowly tortured and starved to death,
but do thou, my master, take my
life in the kindest way, and your
God will reward you here and here-
after.
You will not consider me irrever-
ent if I ask this in the name of Him
who was born in a stable. Amen.
