Mound Twp. Reading Circle

The Reading Circle of Mound town.
ship convened at Passaic Saturday,
September 20, with the following
teachers present Bette Crowder,
Mae Chambers, Eva Gregg, Vesti
Rice, Mary Sharp, Mary Funk, Ida
Dillon, Karl Thompson, John O'Dea
and w. G. Dillon.
The lesson had been we'll prepared
by all, and all were enthusiastic in the
discussions on the leading points and
topics of the lesson. Professional
training was agreed by all to be es-
sential but we decided it to be possible
and highly profitable that thorough
ly trained and we'll equipped teacher
could secure these qualifications much
better by hard, earnest and painstak-
ing study than by attending Normal
schools and rely upon grades. Incl
dentally we agreed to follow strictly
the former method, hoping for much
profit to result thereby.
We agreed with some of the criti-
cisms OF President Elliott of Harvard
and finally decided that the objection
able features of popular education so
eloquently condemned by him was
becoming much better, even though
being bettered it is true by the slow
process of educational evolution, we
even ventured the thought that some
time in the not far distant future that
through the influence of popular ed
ucation, improved and developed the
youth would view with much more
admiration, thrill and devotion a
library of useful books than would he
possibly now file of gaily dressed
soldiers marching to the thrilling
strains of martial music. We agreed
fully with the author that as the chill
dren of today are the men and women
of tomorrow, and upon them willre
the fate and destiny of nations, there
fore the science of child study and
teaching is the most important as well
as far reaching in its effects upon
future generations than any other
science known or even dreamed of
in the world. We also expressed the
hope that the time was near at hand
when people would consider our
work of so much importance, so vital
ly essential that upon it hinges the
fate and destinies of nations as to
raise our yearly salary at least above
that of the average day laborer.
We hope to make this Reading
Circle Of Mound Township second to
none in the state and assist as far as
possible the untirinq efforts of Supt
Allison in his mastery labor for the
good and betterment Of the rural
schools.

New City Hall
Now Up to Voters
CITY Council Passes Ordinances for
Bond Issue. Election Takes
Place October l1th

present. 1t was conceded, however,
that as far as the school site was con-
cerned, it would he a better location
for city hall, but that the purchase OF
an old building that would have to be
torn down, and at the price quoted
by the County people, would be entire
ly out of the question.
The question of the city lights be-
ing placed in the exact center OF the
cross streets and not being just placed
on poles on the corners, was held over
until Manager Frank C. Hughes re-
turns to the city.
Desmond J. O'Neil has been ap-
pointed special council for the city
and he has full charge Of all the legal
matters in connection with the bond
issue and the election.
City Clerk and Engineer, &. w.
Bowles has submitted a rough sketch
of the proposed building, on which no
official action has yet been taken. IL
is understood that if Mr.. Bowles
plans are accepted he will superlntena
the construction of the building abso-
lutely free of charge, and there Is no
doubt but that this generous offer VIII
be taken advantage of by the ciey
fathers. ...

The mile dash, cow pony running
race was won by Dixie in minute,

The time of the Ladies Relay Race
was as follows: Miss konLright,

The winners Of the bucking con
tests, and in fact the winners in all
the events will be given in next
weeks issue of the Monitor, together
with the time of the heats. etc.
Special mention must be made OF
the beautiful exhibit Of cut flowers
and potted plants made By the Glen
dive Greenhouse. In view of the sew
eral hundreds of dollars that recently
went out of town for floral pieces, it
is shame that our greenhouse man
did not see fit to advertise in the city
papers, for it is certain that our peo-
ple would rather have bought their
flowers at home.
The open-air features were fairly
good. The stunts were performed by
Charlie Gaylor, the human snake, and
Zenox, the one-legged wire and trap
eze artist.
The Eastern Montana band, under
the leadership of George Jones, is
scheduled to play exactly q pieces
during the three days of the fair Let
us show our appreciation of the really
good music by our applause and per
haps they will throw in a few extras.

Procedure to Obtain a Reduction
in Area of Cultivation

A showing should be made in each
case as to the difficulties attendant
upon the cultivation of that particular
tract. To this end the entryman
should show, in detail, the special
physical conditions of the land which
he believes entities him to an order
of reduction; describing its topo
graphy, whether hilly or level, its
quality and character as adapted to
cultivation, whether light or heavy,
sandy, loamy, rocky or alkaline, to-
gether with the prevalent climatic
conditions in the matter of annual
SHOWS or rains, as affording sufficient
moisture for the production Of crops
one year with another. The presence
or absence of springs or permanent
streams on or in the immediate vicin-
ity of the land should be shown. The
natural products OF the land without
tillage, and the effect of the tlllage
on the soil, should be shown, as well
as the use to which the land is best
adapted. 1t is desirable that the en-
trvman should, wherever practicable,
know in advance what, if any reduc-
tion can properly be made, and, there
fore, as a general regulation govern
ing applications for reduction in area
of cultivation, it is directed that all
entrymen who desire a reduction shall
file applications therefor during the
first year of the entry and upon forms
to be prepared and furnished by the
Commissioner of the General Land
Office and distributed through the land
offices. which will be forwarded
WITHOUT ACTION, to the Chief Of
the Field Division, and report made
in accordance with circular 1876, on
form 4-O07-b.
Applications for reduction in area
of cultivation will be acted upon by
the Commissioner of the General Land
Office, who may in appropriate cases
defer action until final proof, but his
decision in granting or refusing ap-
nlications for reduction in area shall
be subject to review, upon an appeal,
nv the Secretary of the lntnrior.

Acting Secretary

The second meetin this month OF the
City Council was held Monday night
at the city hall, being attended by
alderman F. B. Whetham, M. +.
Calvin, and DR.. A. A. Baker, with
Mayor Hagan presiding.
The meeting was almost entirely
given up to the passing of ordinances
No, 245 and 246, the first Of which
calls for the issuance of 20 year, b
per cent, semi annual interest bearing
bonds to be issued and sold by the
city of Glendive, to the amount CT
$27, 900 for the erection of the City
Hail. The other ordinance calls Tor
a special election to be held in this
city on Saturday, October l1th, tor
the purpose of letting the people vote
on the question of whether these bonds
shall be issued or not. -. ..
Every citizen who wants to vote at
this election must register on one OF
the following days, Thursday, oct
ober End or Friday, 3rd. Louis How

members Of all political parties are
satisfied that the present tariff bill
will adequately supply what the coun-
try has always lacked in the way of
tariff legislation. He also recalled
that it was Senator Walsh who, at
the opening OF congress this year,
made a speech in l.Tor of the appoint
menU, by, the president or by congress,
Of a tariff commission composed Of
five members, whose duties il would
be to make careful and scientific in
vestigation Of each item in the exist
ing tariff schedules and who would
have the power to recommend 20 con-
gress any changes in any item that
called for revision, either upward or
downward. The powers of this COM
mission were to be akin to those of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
whose good work no one would even
dare to question, and Congressman
Evans, while not speaking officially,
gave it as his personal opinion that
the new tariff commission will be in
active working order by the beginning
Of the new year.
After making his first visit at The
Monitor office, Mr.. Evans called on
Deputy County Attorney O'Hern, who
is an old Missoula friend of his, and
then visited DR.. D. J. Donohue, Judge
c. G. Hurley, W. F. Jordan and
others in the democratic ranks.
Before leaving the city Mr.. Evans
expressed himself as being very pleas
ed with the who Ie-hearted reception
he received in the Gate City, not
alone by democrats, but by citizens
in all other political parties who had
the honor Of shaking hands with a
real man, big, broad minded friend
of the people that the congressman
has so thoroughly proven himself to
be.

his home in Missoula.
Mr.. Evans claims to be somewhat
IN the same frame Of mind that Con-
gressman Tom Stout was when he so
beautifully referred to the longing for
home that comes over iaW-maker
after some seven months enforced alb
sence from the Treasure state.
Since February, Mr.. Evans and his
colleagues in both the senate and the
house, have been enjoying what the
congressman is pleased to call, "a
continuous round of work. and that
this is so one has but to be reminded
of the strenuous sessions in the house
and senate on t.le recently passed tar
if bill which is now in joint confer
ence and slated to be ready for Pres
ident Wilson's signature this Satur-
day, Sept. Goth.
Mr.. Evans AYERS that the Owen
Glass currency bill, which has been
occupying the attention of the house
for the past month or 50, will be turn
ed over to the tender mercies of the
senate by the end Of this week, and
that by November the First, the coun-
try can expect to be sailing along
prosperously under the brnadest, the
fairest laws that have been designed
to guide and control the commercial
finances of this great and glorious
country.
The genial congressman arrived in
the same evening for Billings, where
he intended to spend day before
reaching Missoula.
Mr.. Evans stated in his quiet, con
servatve way that optimism is almost
fully restored in the east and that the

AGED BOHEMIAN
MOTHER APPEALS
FOR HER LOST SON
Mother Writes Hitchcock to
Help Find Man Last Heard
From in Washington.

4 pathetic letter from an aged
mother. who declares that she is heart
broken because of the failure to locate
ner son, last heard from in Washing
ton, was received by Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock today from Mrs. NJ.
Corlickova, of Libschitz, Bohemia.
The sen, according to Mrs. Vorlick-
ova, was known In the United States
as Harry Kaufman, and was employed
as a commercial traveller for a French
wine company. His mother last heard
from him in Washington a year ago.
Her letter to Mr.. Hitchcock reads:
"Will you kindly use your great infiu-
ence and help me to ascertain the
whereabouts of my son, and thus re-
lieve the grief OF heart-broken
mother. l always addressed him as
Harry Kaufman, general delivery. He
has not answered a letter for over q
year. I never knew the name Of his
firm. He implored me to come and
Join him, but / was old and afraid OF
the long trip.
Il would like to come to him now,
but l think he gave 1t up as hopeless
and is trying to forget me. IL you can
aid me you will earn my undying graft
tude 1 would write to the consulate,
but his assumed name would make 1t
difficult for the consul to find him.
