CIVIC LEAGUE ORGANIZED
Organization Formed in Roundup tc
Exemplify Chicago's Law and
Order League.

4 meeting was held last Monday
night to complete the organization of
IA Civic improvement League for
Roundup and vicinity. The entire
evening was taken up in adopting
Articles of Organization, and in formu-
lating in general way, methods of
procedure. No attempt WAS made
to outline in detail the work to be
done by the League. since it was the
general opinion that the various lines
of cndeavor could best be worked out
through the standing committees.
1t is the intention OF the orsaniza-
tion to work along lines. in SO far as
they are applicable to this commune
ity, that have been marked out by
similar associations in other places,
for example THE Law and Order
League" ot Chicago and "The Good
Citizens League of Des Moines. While
heretofore most civic associations OF
this character have confined their
operations more to the larger
cities and owns there seems TO be no
good reason why similar organza-
tion could not find proper field Of
activity in Il town the size OF Roundup
The Civic lmprovemtnt League is
to be strictly nonpnr lsan in politics.
1t is to be entirely Independent Of
amy church or other religious organi-
zation. II is not to conllct in any
manner with the regular and custo-
mary work OF .ic Comercial Club. IN
q few words, il is to be an orgauiza-
ton Of believers in good citizenship,
united for the educational, moral and
civic Improvement OF tn community

TWO MIRACLES
WILL REPAIR
SIDEWALKS
PUT UP $500 CASH BOND TO
GUARANTEE REPLACING OF
DEFECTIVE WALKS.
Interest on Warrants Ordered Paid
and Remaining Warrants Issued
Given Until July | to Repair Side
Walks That Are Going to Pieces.

The Two Miracle Concrete Corpor-
met with the mayor and city council
of Roundup Wednesday afternoon, has
agreed to replace or repair all defec-
tive sidewalks that We're constructed
by them in this city last summer. To
guarantee the repairing Of the side
walks the Two Miracle people have
il addition 10 their original bonds of
$1,000 and 1000
The action on the part of the Two
Miracle Corporation is the result Of
the city refusing to pay the interest
on Improvement district warrants al
ready issued, and the holding back of
those that had not yet passed out of
the hands of the local officials. The
city felt compelled 10 do this for the
reason that a great deal of the ce-
ment work done by the company was
found to be defective, and it was
found to be defective, and it was fear.
ed that the original bond of the com.
pany would not be sufficient to put
the walks in first class shape The
Two Miracle people did not deny the
fact that the sidewalks showed up
badly, but showed their willingness
to replace the work and backed it with
a substantial guarantee.
George II. Detlor. secretary OF the
Two Miracle Concret Co. and Judge
y, +. Smith OF Kalispell represented
the company at the special meeting
of the council, A. b. Hallin, a banker
of Cambridge, Mimi who is arranging
to take over the warrants, was also
present
In view of the action taken the city
treasurer was authorized to pay the
interest due on the warrants as soon
as Il certified check for 81 500 is re-
ceived from the company

Borah bill reducing to three years the
time required for proving up on a
homestead entry and PERMITTING en-
trymen to take six months leave Of alb.
sence from his entry each year That
there will be strong opposition to the

app ared before the house public

Secretary Fisher and Land Commits
sioner bennett also advised the house
committee to reject the bill which pro
vides that notice shall be given set
tiers when protests against their
claims are filed by special agent.
Such notice, the officials said, would
enable entrymen to get witnesses out
Of the country or frame up a de
fense to overthrow the evidence gath
cred by the government.
Secretary Fisher promised the com
mittee that he would instruct his sub
ordinates that all contests, against en-
tries must be taken up and disposed OF
within year from the date OF the I'll
ing OF the contest.
Secretary Fisher opposed the pan
of appealing land decisions to the
courts, predicting that such action
would swamp the courts and cause
more delay than at present. He IA
vored having payments for water
rights under government reclamat'or
projects made to the reclamation se:v

About dozen of the settlers north

an organized effort. They met and
formed an organization last week, the
following being Il few of those
belonging: H. G. Thomas, G. +. Zol-
Ter, David Ryan, Matt Caldwell, Fred
Brown and others.
The farmers have received some help
from local business men to help carry
on this crusade against tie prairie

Here is a recipe for soup served only
after riGhrfan. preferably In the early

First take about ten or q dozen

put IL In pan or washbowl. then pour
over It enough uswhohs (either chhx or

your hands, being careful to break all

then get a few yards of cheesecloth
and tear II In pieces and strain the
mixture through the cloth into another
vessel. wiring the sawdust dry and
throw it away. The remains Will be

take the same amount Of water as you
used of uswhohs and pour it in: leave
the whole set for a few minutes"
This is the soup" employed by
yegGmen. and single portion Of it is
guaranteed TO open the door Of the
stoutest safe, provided an aperture
can be made sufficiently large to pour

The directions for serving this soup
require considerable attention and the
best of trained service. After the

band, has learned all that can be found
out about the bank, store or post
office. its lighting. protection and the
means OF escape by freight train, We
hicle or on foot. his companion or COM
panions come on, avoiding notice as
far as possible. "Stickups," or look
outs. guard the place while the I'm
side men" break into the safe. Seal
ing the cracks about the safe or vault
door with soap. the yeggmen pour in
the soup through a small hole left
open at the top. The liquid flows
down by locks. hinges and bolts and
is set off by fuse or detonator. Blan-
kets and covers of any kind are used
to muffie the sound of the explosion
and the fail of the door. Perhaps the
''stickups' are forced to create a di-
version outside and to frighten the cit
fzens or misle2d them while the ''in-
side men" pick out the valuable papers
escape. Who pays the check for the
soup then depends upon the ingenuity
OF detectives.-New York Post.

EYE STRAIN.

II Has Many Symptoms and May A.

Chief among the symptoms Of eye
strain are watering of the eye, a glu-
ing together Of the eyelids on awaken
ing in the morning. headache, the posi-
ton and character of which vary with
each individual. 1t may be neuralgia
or 1t may be deeply seated, as was the
case with Wagner. the musician, who
was complaining constantly of 1.-The
nerves Of his eyes"
The headache is often replaced by
an Inflammation of the eyelids, espe-
cially in young and healthy persons,
who also have a little conjunctiyitis.
with q feeling Of tension or fullDess in
the eyes which may become real pain
Of dull aching character, the eyeballs
being very tender on pressure.
Sometimes there are vertigo and
sickness, with dyspepsia. palpitation
and even difficulty in breathing.
Sleeplessness is a very frequent symp-
tom, due in part to the excessive flow
of blood to the brain and in part to the
low tone of the whole nervous system.
The symptoms Of eye strain appear
sooner In those who lead a confined
and sedentary life. who follow occupa-
tons which need a constant use of the
eyes in bad or unsuitable light and in
those who are debilitated from any
cause. The symptoms appear later In
those of coarser fiber, who pass much
of their time in the open air or who
follow occupations which do not need
a prolonged use OF the eyes for close
work.-London Lancet
