It is probable that a change
will be made in the date of the
annual meeting of the Mississippi
Baptist convention to be held at
'Gulfport in November.
The date fixed at the last meet
ing in Meridian conflicts with the
dates fixed for the Gulfport Coast
Exposition, and, as the citizens
desire to make elaborate plans
for the reception and entertain
ment of the Baptist clergy and
lai'y when they visit Gulfport, it
has been suggested that the con-
vehtion be held either two weeks
prior to the exposition or two
weeks later.
The matter has been taken up
with Hon. William Wilmington, of
Greenwood, president of the
Baptist state convention, who will
confer with members of the
executive committee on the
subject.
The annual meeting of the
Baptist state convention wi | be of
exceptional interest to Jackson
because of the probability of a
movement being launched for the
establishment of a Baptist college
for girls in this city, to be endowed
and supported by the denomina-
ton jackson News.

THE FIREMEN DANCE STOCKMEN IN "cHr

A recent issue of the Chicago
lntet Ocean has the following 70
say relative to the visit of Casts~
county stockmen to the stocs
yards in that city:
James Hunter, vice presiden.
of Commercial State bank, Miles
City: R. L. Anderson. president
OF the First National bank OF
lsmay, Hugh Hunter of Baker,
and Jack Anderson of Ekalaka,
all prominent Montana stockc1er,
were at the yards this week, TAX
ing in the stock show. They arc
valued patrons of the. popular
commission house of Walters &
Dunbar, and paid the boys a
pleasant visit. They looked tho
carloads of fat cattle over in the
big show and in spite of the UNI
form excellence of the exhib::
they were able t. pick the wir-
ming load before the award was
male. The characteristic enter
pr" Of Montana stockmen is
Clearly shown when they will
come 1000 miles to visit the
greatest of all live stock shows
and keep in touch with improved
methods of breeding. The old
long-horned steer is practically a
thing of the past on the Montana
ranges. It has given way to the
Shorthorn, Herfords and Blacks.
Montana cattlemen have spent
money freely for good bulls and
the fact that this money has
been we'll spent is clearly shown
in the better quality of beef
shipped from the range and the
high price obtained the past two
seasons.

TO STOP 0VERDRAFTS
Comptroller Of Currency Say. That
The Practice Must Be
Discontinued.

The comptroller of the cur
rency, to whom all national and
state banks must report when
called ubon to do so, has recently
issued an order to all national
bank examiners to the effect
that hereafter the practice of
allowing customers to overdraw
their account when not sufficient
funds are in the bank, must
be stopped at once. The follow
ing is a portion of the lengthy
order which has been sent to the
banks and examiners:-
1.-The practice among national
banks in granting overdrafts
should cease forwith. The su-
preme court of the United States
has taken a strong position
against this mode of banking, de-
claring that the usage of allow
ing customers to overdraw and
to heve their checks charged up
without having present funds in
the bank stripped of all techni-
;. cal disguise-is a usage and
practice to misapply the funds
of the hank" .~.
| AS this practice must be STOP
ped do not get ''sore" if a check
is turned down" at your bank.
The cashier has received his
orders and the comptroller says
he must abide by them.
Next Tuesday the stockholders
Of the Ekalaka telephone com.
pany will hold their annual meet
ing when the board of directors
for the coming year will be elect
ed.
The Christmas dance given by
the entertainment committee of
the Odd Fellows lodge last Fri
day evening was we'll attended
and proved a success both finan-
cially as we'll as socially. The
orchestra engaged for the dance
was unable to appear on account
of the bad weather and poor
roads, but Notwithstanding this
everyone had good time and
enjoyed themselves.
The Ekalaka eagle. [volume] (Ekalaka, Mont.) 1909-1920, 1911-12-29

Four weeks from tonight there
promises to be something doing
in the line Of swell terpsichorean
art stunts" pulled off in the /.
O. 0. F. Hall. When the men,
bers of the fire department start
out to give a dance you can bet
your last dollar that there is no
IF" or land" about it. They
have selected January 10Th as
the date because of the fact that
it is impossible to have a record
breaking attendance without
plenty of time in which to adver-
tise the affair, and a record
breaking attendance is what they
are after. Notices will be sent
to all of the nearby postoffices
and placed where they will not
be overlooked by anyone. AS for
the music, we'll, they will have
it, and have it the best ever at
that. The Clark orchestra will
be- secured and when the boys
guarantee you that they will
have this music you can take it
for a fact that they will. The
last event given by the hoys
proved a great boost for them in
the way of dishing out entertain
ment and you may look for them
to set out better brand this
time. Paste the date on the
looking glass so you won't for
get it.

FARMERS INSTITUTE
Will Be Held In Ekalaka on Jan.
Is. First OF Its Kind
Here.

F. S. Cooley, Superintendent
of the Montana Farmers Insti-
tutes has notified this Office that
Ekalaka will be included in their
next tour of the eastern part of
the state during the week of
January 1920. This will be the
first time that the people of Eka-
laka and surrounding country
have had the opportunity of at
tending such an institute here
and we hope that all those inter-
ested in better farming will avail
themselves of this opportunity.
Director F. B. Linfeld of the
Montana Experiment Station
has been secured to accompany
the regular staff of lecturers who
will talk on the improved ways
and methods Of farming and dis
cuss the results Of their expert
mental work througout the state,
during the past two years. By
the study and application of the
improved and accepted methods
that they will lecture about to us.
and no other way CO we believe
that the settlers of this country
can pass through the long and
tedious reconstruction period that
has made tine development of a
new country such a hardship in
the past. Those of US who are
not farmers, let US observe the
methods employed by these more
experienced neighbors and try to
be benifited by their lecturers.
Mr.. Cooley informs US that
flax will be prominently consid-
cred and requests the many sam
pies and exhibits be sent in. The
dates and places to be visited
are:- Ekalaka, Jan. Is; Baker,
Jan. II; Ismay, Jan. 18; Fallon,

Savannah Man Offers Prize
in Car Race

Savannah, Nov. 11.-There is phil
anthropist in Savannah who is able to
give 81 900 without even the return Of
the public congratulation, when his
money is expended in the public inter
est. Some unknown has given $1,000
which will become the property of the
first driver who crosses the tape in an
American car in the Grand Prize au-
tomobile race, Thanksgiving Day. The
same gift was made last year and was
won by Bob Burman. 1t is stated that
this Savannah man is anxious for an
machine to take first

heretofore have had very easy time
in sweeping in most of the prizes in
the greatest automobile races.

UNCLE sam GIVES NO
PENSION TO GLUTTON
No Relief For Veteran Who
Eats -Four Meals Daily

Washington, Nov. 11.-Pension eX-
aminers have decided that veteran
who applied for a pension under the
general disability order upon the COM
plant that he has swelling of the sto-
mach, after consuming four or five
meals a day, is not entitled to relief.
A constituent of Representative Lang
ley, of Kentucky, applied for the pen
sion. To an examiner the applicant
stated his case:
For breakfast at o'clock l gener-
ally eat oatmeal, two eggs and piece
of steak or bacon. Then | take lunch
about 9 o'clock. Some cakes-about
five; that's all for lunch. Myw next
meal is l O'clock-my dinner. | take a
cup of coffee, spoonful of potatoes, small
piece OF meat and piece of pie Some
times | eat some vegetables, sour
kraut and beans. l generally eat
about two hot biscuits with molasses.
Once in a while | eat buckwheat cakes
but not often, for they some way seem
to kind of bake in my stomach. They
don't work good.
MY next meal is Z o'clock in the
evening. | then take a cup of coffee,
dish of oatmeal and a piece of pie
The veteran said he had taken en-
ough patent medicines to float a
steamship, but the buckwheats and
Hamburger caused an ache which
couldn't be cured.

APPLICATION FOR BAIL FILED
BY ATTORNEYS FOR CHILDERS
November 2l Named as Date
Of Hearing

Application was made here yester-
| day by the attorneys for Maud
Childers for bail for their client.
Judge Littlejohn having signed an or
der naming November 2f as the day
set for the hearing which will de-
termine whether or not the prisoner
will be released under bond. No
petition asking for a change of venue
has yet been filed.
The petition in which the applica-
tion for bail is made, after rehearing
the facts of the arrest and trial of
Childer, bases the request for bail on
the basis that the defendant was CON
victed without so clear a showing
having been made by the prosecution
as regards the circumstantial evidence
as to fix the guilt beyond reason
able doubt upon the defendant and TO
dsFeclude every other probable hypo-
thesis. The petition bears the sigma
lures of Messrs. Blalock, Hudson,
Dykes and Martin as attorneys for
Childers.
The application for bail for Chill
ders is the most recent move in the
prosecution faiths widely discussed
criminal suit. The opinion has been
expressed here that bail will in all
probability be granted to Childers in
view of the fact that the recent pro-
ceedings resulted in a mistrial, while
Kennedy is now free on account of
the failure of the grand jury to in
dict him at the recent session of Lee
superior court.
Though no change in venue has
been asked for by the attorneys for
Childers, it is practically certain that
such a petition will be filed in due
time If this Is granted, the question
as to where the new trial would occur
is one of interest, 1t has been sug-
gested that Americus will be named
as the place for the new hearing
though Judge Littlejohn may select
any county in the state of Georgia ex-
cept Lee county The opinion has
expressed that the superior hotel &C
commodations to be had here will
make Americus the most acceptable
place for the hearing.
1t is likely now that Robert Kenne-
dy, who was released from the Lee
county jail Friday afternoon, will not
be re-arrested until after the trial Of
Childers next May, then only in the
event Childers is acquitted, which
would more than likely be the re-
suit.

SUCCESS OF TIGERS IS
DUE TO BAD POLITICS
Responsibility For LaWlGSS-
ness is Placed

Atlanta, Nov. 11.-Recorder Nasf
Broyles holds some of the politicians
and candidates responsible for the in
crease in the number of blind tigers.
He remarked in passing sentence OF
$500 or thirty days on two Greeks who
had served beer in their restaurants
in teapots last Sunday, that the pol
iticians who are knocking the prohibit
tion law. asserting that it a farce
and cannot be enforced, are giving en-
couragement to bling tigers and other
violators of the law. If the politicians
would try to uphold the law, Judge
Broyles said, there would be fewer vi
olations.
