Gives Roman Credit

A prominent Poison man was
in town the first of the week and
he said while here to the Pioneer
that his town was being seriously
handicapped by the action of
the business men there in their
dealings with the farmers who
are naturally tributary to Poison.
He said that many of them COM
planned of the policy of certain
bank in not readily supplying
them with the necessary cash to
move their crops. He said that
no matter what the financial
standing of the farmer was if
real ready money was needed it
was stintingly furnished them
and in some cases refused. This
condition made it imperative
that the farmer seek outside
money to move his wheat, and
that the Roman banks had to
met the situation in such a man.
ner that many Of them would
would transfer their business to
Roman and had so announced it
as being their intention.
Another thing he said the
farmers up that way complained
was the attitude alleged to have
been taken regarding the price
of wheat. He said that it was
charged that a combination had
been agreed upon to keep the
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1911-10-06

price of wheat down and that
had it not been for the activity
of Stanley Scarce and the Ro-
nan State Bank in securing a
market where a price in keeping
with the market was made, that
they would now have been re-
ceiving much less for their wheat
than they are. He said he could
not readily believe such a combi-
nation had been entered into,
but that it was current rumor
that it was so.
The Pioneer is not authoity for
the truthfulness of the story,
and merely quotes the gentle
man in question and tells what
he publicly said was the belief
among the Poison farmers. Still
it is a matter Of local pride that
our merchants and banks have
taken care Of the people, not
only in the immediate vicinity of
Roman, but in such a manner as
to draw from the territory really
belonging to Poison. We want
their business, we want them to
know that here they will be
treated right. not only to get
trade but to hold it. All will be
welcomed and none barred.

Farmers Institutes

A schedule of farmers insti-
tutes has been arranged by that
department of the agricultural
college. Among the towns which
will be favored with these meet
ings are Roman, St. Ignatius and
Dixon in this vicinity. The date
at Roman will be Tuesday, Dec.
10; St. Ignatius, Wednesday,
Dec. 20, and Dixon, Thursday,

Farmers should remember

ted senator is revealing some
startling facts. The senator ad-
mits that he spent $4,000 for
postage, that he did not inquire
as to why so much was needed
and Ibid not lie awake nights
about it either" The testimony
so far shows that $4,000 was
used to secure his reelection,
and if nothing else is shown, it
should be sufficient to GUST him
from the place he is "a discredit
to. Senatorial seats purchased

Roman Schools Crowded.

To the publisher:
Owing to the crowded con-
dition of the public schools of
Roman, no more pupils can be ac-
commodated hereafter excepting
in the upper grades. At present
in the primary room there are
five more pupils than there are
desks and likewise in the inter-
mediate department, while in the
room occupied by the upper
grades there is one desk unoccu-
pied. While realize that there
are still many children who
ought to be in school, we must
all appreciate the fact that we
have reached the limit. Another
room and another teacher is the
only solution.
| cannot impress too firmly up
on the minds of the parents the
necessity of every child being in
school every day. A lesson lost
is seldom made up and almost in
variably the successful scholar is
the one who attends every class.
l would much prefer that you
send your children, even though
tardy, than not to send them at
all. Hereafter any child that is
absent will lose his desk and be
obliged to sit on a front seat
when he returns. This is only
fair to those who now occupy
front seats.
If you have any questions to
ask or any information either as
to the school or pupil is desired,
feel free and welcome to come to
us and we will gladly give any
desired information and cooper
ate with any parent for the good
Of the child.
Don't send your children to
school before $50 a. M, as the
school rooms are not open before
that time. In one instance a
pupil was at the school house at
20 minutes past seven. 1t can
not be expected that the school
house will be open at such an
hour and to have a small boy or
girl standing around in the cold
for over an hour is little less than
neglect.
Lack of books has badly handi-
capped the teachers during the
past month, but most of the pu-
pills are now provided for and we
can now go ahead with more
routine than heretofore.

Attended Farm
erS' Meeting

Through the courtesy of A.
J. Brewer, the writer was able
to attend the monthly meeting
of the Flathead Farmers Mutual
Association held at the residence
of C. B. Hogan In 1920, six
miles south of Roman, last Sum-
day. Mr.. Brewer is a banker,
so of course is more fortunate
than mere newspaper man, and
owns an auto. but he also has a
liberal heart and frequently in
vites others to ride with him, so
Sunday the invitation to do so
was given the Pioneer man and
his wife and it was accepted.
Brewer has not been in the coun-
try as long as some, but he thinks
he knows just about where
everybody lives and while this is
generally true he got off the road
this last time and wandered
around some but finally struck
the right place. He says the
writer was to blame, SO it is just
a question of veracity.
At the meeting were a number
of the farmers who belong to the
association and two new men,
bers were added to the roll.
Routine business was transacted
and owing to the intended de-
parture from the country of the
secretary, E. G. Badger, it be-
came necessary to elect his sue
cessor, and Ben Jacobs was
unanimously named. It was de-
cided to hold the meetings here
after at the Elliott school house
in 1920 on the first Sunday of
each month.
After the business meeting
had been disposed of Mr.. Brewer
was called upon for a speech and
he surprised US all by delivering
one. He spoke right to the
