Bad Roads Killed Her

A few years ago a beautiful
woman in the prime of life lay
suffering upon a sick bed in a
rural community. 1t was i'm
perative that she have a ply
sician at once. The hired man
was dispatched for one in haste.
He made the best time pos
sible, but the roads were muddy,
and bad, and cut up, and travel
ing at best was very slow. He
lost much time in going, and the
physician was equally delayed in
his progress. After many hours
he finally reached the side of the
sufferer. But death had beaten
him-for death had no bad roads
to cover.
Had the physician reached her
a little sooner her life could have
been saved. But he did his best
and bad roads did the rest.
Bad roads killed this woman.
And bad roads are killing others
every day in like manner Now
isn't this a compelling argument
in favor of better country roads
Or is the life of a human being
of less value than the cost of a
few dollars spent in road inn
provement? A member of your
own family may furnish the sub
ject for the next story, brother.
Best think it over.

ACR|CULTUR|ST HANSEN
REPORTS ON CUTW0RMS

County Agriculturist C. L.
Hansen, who came out from Mis-
soula last week to investigate
the amount of damage being
done to growing crops by the
cutworm, returned to his home
Saturday. He did not find the
worms in very great numbers
and they were not distributed
over a large section. The field
of c. B. Harding was the only
one where any real damage had
been done, but in this field the
worms had practically destroyed
20 acres.
After he had thoroughly in
spected this field he prepared,
and with the assistance of sever
al farmers in that neighborhood
scattered the poison where the
worms appeared to be thickest.
This was done about sundoWn
Thursday evening, about the
time the worms come out. Dur
ing the night the snow and rain
commenced falling, which would
naturally drive the worms back
into the ground, and the poison
was not given an opportunity to
demonstrate whether the treat
ment was a success or not. Mr..
Hansen was of the opinion that
the storm would stop the ravages
of the worms to a large extent,
but the farmers were cautioned
to watch their fields closely on
the return of sunshine and warm
weather.
The cutworm," says Mr..
Hansen, works in each field
from seven to fourteen days, but
the greater part of the damage
is done during the first few days.
For this reason drastic measures
for killing the worms should he
taken as soon as they are dis
covered"

JUDGE
WILL RUN COURT

A dispatch from Butte, dated
May 8, says that Judge George
M. Bourquin of the federal court,
during the hearing of an appli-
cation for citizenship, took occa-
sion to state that the department
of commerce and labor of the
United States shall neither con-
troll the action of his court nor
impose rules upon it. He also
declared that he would resist any
attempt Of the active depart
ments of the government to in
terfere in any way in the con-
duct of his court.
I'VE all know" said he, that
the executive department at
Washington has controlled con-
gress. But this court will never
submit to control. There has
been great deal of talk in the
departments as to what they
would do to the courts unless the
latter did as they desired. A
very pictorial spirit has grown
up in the departments and the
W estern newspapers have been
filled with interviews given out
by the lesser officials on what
would be done to the courts.
This court is dependent on
laws passed by congress for it's
existence. But while 1t exists as
a court, it will be conducted
without interference from de-
partments of the government. "
Judge Bourquin said that he
did not believe that the people of
the country would return to the
conditions of long ago when
kings controlled the courts, and
reverted to a letter sent out by
the government departments to
the courts and said:
"A letter was sent out to the
courts by the departments lately.
1t was written with all due re-
spect, yet there was implied in
it a covert threat as to what
would be done to the courts. The
departments have no right to in
terfere with the courts nor to
make rules for them and this
court will be conducted without
interference by them"
The matter arose in relation to
an application for naturaliza-
tion papers.

A sham aerial battle staged by a
moving picture company in California
came to disastrous conclusion when
dummy aeroplane, exploding as
scheduled. tilted the machine of Frank
Sites and sent him to his death 300
feet below. The cause Of the tragedy,
1t is thought, was that the explosion
set up such a concussion in the air
that its force resulted in Sites plunge.
AS his machine was plunging in awk-
ward spirals Sites could be seen fran
tically tugging at his levers. Then he
climbed through the rigging and jump
ed as the biplane neared the ground.
He was literally mashed to pulp.

ton. The department heard of
that and did not send the certif-
cate, but opposed the admis-
sion when the date of hearing
arrived. An agent of the de-
partment was in Judge Bour-
quin's court at that time demur-
ring to the admission because
the certificate of entry which had
been requested of the depart
ment was not attached to the ap-
plication.

POISON SECOND
IN TRACK MEET

In last Saturdays track meet
between the Poison and Roman
high schools, Roman won by 10
points. The storm of Friday and
Friday night made it very doubt
full whether the meet would be
held or not and this fact kept
many away who otherwise would
have been here to swell the at
tendance.
By Saturday afternoon, how
ever, the ground had dried suf-
ficiently to make the track in
fairly good condition and prompt
ly at the appointed hour the first
event was called. Poison was
here with a strong track team,
and a stronger bunch of rooters,
and from the first event until the
last one had been pulled off, it
was a question which team would
win the laurels. Following is
the result.

OUTLOOK
ALL OVER STATES

General improvement in busi-
ness conditions, with returning
confidence" is announced in the
federal reserve boards digest of
reports of agents, May 1st, in
the reserve districts into which
the country is divided.
From the New York district
general Improvement, with opti-
mism in New York City, is re-
ported.
Slight improvement is noted
from the Boston district. There
business directly affected by the
war is in much better condition
than trade not so benefited.
Some improvement in the last
few months is reported from the
Philadelphia district. Coal, lum-
ber, ship yards, sole and upper
leather, paint and various in
dustries have improved. The
cotton goods manufacture is fair
ly satisfactory, wool quiet and
cement business below normal.
The Chicago district report
shows improvement, though not
very pronounced outside of those
lines profiting by war orders.
Money conditions are said to be
easy.
In the St. Louis district de-
mand for general merchandise
has improved and abundant crops
are promised in the Kansas City
district with agricultural and
horticultural conditions almost
perfect. Supply of loanable
funds far exceeds the demand in
practically all sections.
In the San Francisco district
agricultural prospects are re-
ported exceptionally good, mer-
camille lines satisfactory, petrol
cum and lumber industries de-
pressed, with indications, how
ever, of improvement in lumber.
Mining generally has improved.
Active country banks are well
loaned up" and city banks have
considerable surplus of funds
for crop movement. ,

AS a whole the meet was a
success, and while the rivalry
was keen and each event con-
tested to the last, there was not
a hitch and everything passed
off smoothly. In the evening a
dance was given at the Roman
opera house and most of the Pol
son people remained over and
took part.
The Roman team will continue
their practice and attend the
district meet at St. Ignatius on

Both Ends and the Middle

The Retailer-the Newspaper
the Consumer.
There you have it-both ends
and the middle-and the three
working in harmony should make
any community prosperous. The
one cannot prosper without the
other, and neither can meet with
success without the cooperation
of the other two.
The Ronan pioneer., 1915-05-07


sage from the merchant to the
consumer. The consumer reads
the paper and if he sees nothing
in its advertising columns of
which he stands in need it is but
natural that in many cases he
should drift to other points for
his wares. The local business
man is forgotten simply because
he does not advertise-becaus
he is slower than his out-of- town
competitor.
But if the merchant is alive to
his opportunities, if he uses the
advertising columns of the paper
to bring his goods to the favor
able attention of the buyer, then
he is meeting competition, is
making an effective bid for the
home trade, and invariably
achieves prosperity.
Men of brains realize that it is
to their own individual interests
to foster their own community
by trading with their home in
stitutions. But the seeker-the
buyer-never goes to a haystack
for a needle. He follows the
lure of the we'll written adver-
tisement, and if that advertise
ment happens to be an out of
town concern using another
paper, then it is generally the
out of town retailer who gets the
business.
But the remedy should be ap-
piled. The two ends and the
middle should get closer together
for the common good of the COM
munity. The local retailer and
the consumer are the two ends,
with this paper as the middle,
and if all will unite in the COM
mon cause there will be but one
verdict prosperity.
This paper stands willing to
do it's part. The consumer is
willing to do his parts waiting
for the message from the re-
taller. Our advertising columns
will carry the message.
But what of the retailer? Will
he send that message for which
the consumer is waiting? Or
will he remain passive and let
stagnation become the common
lot because the message is never
told, because the community
cash floats out to other points ?
He will render the final verdict.

the paramount duty of all con-
cerned to work in harmony, to
labor to one common end, to pro-
tect the homes that give us
shelter and to conserve the in
terests of the people who con-
stitute the community.
We may make of this commun-
ity a hive Of industry and a
realm of peace, prosperity and
happiness or we may just drift
along with the tide, pick up the
crumbs that are thrown our way,
and grumble because the Lord
provides for others and appar-
emily forgets our existence. 1t
will be as we make it-no other
way.
The Lord has provided us with
intelligence, and health, and
energy, and the power to ac-
complish things. With that His
work is done, and the rest is up
to us. If we make the best of
that which He has given us we
will soon become prosperous and
happy and contented-a people
enjoying to the fullest Of life's
blessings. But if we neglect the
gifts with which He has endowed
US the penalty of failure will fall
upon our own shoulders-the re-
sponsibility will be ours alone
the commercial stagnation of our
common community will be but
the natural sequence of our own
short sightedness.
No community will prosper
without the presence of a variety
of stores, shops, and other marts
of commerce and trade. They
are as necessary as the ground
that we till and the sun and rain
that produce our crops. No store
or shop can survive without the
loyal support Of the community
the whole community. The in
terests of the retailer and the
consumer are one in common
the success of the one depends
upon the cooperation of the
other. But these two interests
that should be working in har-
mony are often too wide apart
separated by yawning gulf of
indifference and neglect. And
the body polite the community
as a whole suffers, and stag
mates, and withers, and dies.
