people who use it for their own
convenience. If not, then honesty
is not better than dishonesty. The
department of agriculture is trying
to help the farmer by placing an
honest statement of cotton raised
in the government report. The gov
eminent report is the spray by
which we kill off the cotton bears.
Take the government out of the
way and the cotton bears will cause
more loss than the boil weevil, leaf
worm and all other cotton enc
mics combined.

better, educated, than the bow or
girl who knows how to work prob
lens in algebra or perform upon
musical instruments, but does not
know anything relative to the pro
ductive side of life.
| believe that there is nothing
that makes the boys more manly or
the girls more womanly than to be
educated along lines that pertain
to the practical and bread-winnine
side Of life, which gives them great
or efficiency and a broader capacity
to understand the productiveness Of
the soil.
Now in this work, the same as in
the public school work, you must
have a teacher to explain and cor
rect and point cut the errors or diff
iiculties in your way, and unless we
have a thorough, practical demon
strator, or someone TO do this work
for US and encourage the boys, and
talk to them and explain the differ
ent methods and help out in the
work, we would be at standstill,
and we want your cooperation,
and, if necessary, you should go
down in your pockets to see that
this work is carried on or have the
Quorum court arrange it so that
the work may be continued.
In looking over the work for the
past year | want to say that you
can no more afford to stop. right
here in helping the boys corn and
cotton club and the girls tomato
and canning club than you can af-
ford to see your church doors close,

we are doing as important work as
any preachers work. Your boys |
who are interested and working in

with the wickedness Of

ire preachers of morality and right |

Right here in these hills and for |

to the royal encampment, while a
hundred thousand of the kings ma

the tents of King George and his
suite to guard against repetition of
| the mysterious fires that have broken
out from time to time in the Durbar
encampment.
The ceremony was marked with

Happily Married

On Wednesday the marriage
of Nicholas Dellwo, Jr., and Miss
Regina Trahan was celebrated at
St. Ignatius, by one of the CATH
Ole fathers. Only a few init
mate friends and relatives were
present at the ceremony, after
which all returned to Roman
where pleasant wedding dance
was given in the evening at the
Roman opera house, and the large
hall was crowded with the friends
of the bride and groom.
This young couple are we'll
known in and around Roman, the
groom being the son of N. Dell
wo, one of the largest wheat
growers on the Flathead reser-
walton, and himself heavily in
terested in the business. The
bride is a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jules Trahan and came here
from Frenchtown about a year
and a half ago. They were pre-
sented with many beautiful and
useful presents by their many
friends and start out with bright
prospects of a life of happiness
and contentment.

and Saturday went down to St.

stopping at headquarters at St.
Ignatius over Sunday. Monday
he visited the camps south of
Roman and he was we'll pleased
with all the work so far as pro-
crossed. Mr.. Hill has had
charge of some Of the largest
projects the Indian service has
constructed, including the Crow,
Shoshone or Wind river, the
Uinta, and the Blackfoot, and
says this country exceeds in pro-

thing he has seen before. He

it will produce.

all.

TELEPHONE Prospects Better.

1t is said that the Northern
Idaho & Montana Power Co. con-
template extending their power
and telephone system from Pol
son to Roman at an early date.
Both the power and telephones
are badly needed here and there
is no question but Roman would
welcome the systems.
Should this company build into
Roman it would supply the peo-
pie with light and power as we'll
as install telephones, all Of which
are badly needed at this time.
Roman needs electric lights, she
needs electricity for power pur-
poses and she needs telephones,
and the company which gets here
first will get the big business.
If the Poison manager will in
vestigate the situation he will
not find the antagonism he is
credited with believing exists
here, but on the contrary will
find an open hearted welcome will
be accorded him.
