julius ROsenwald, Chicago million
air" phiian,h.upist, and head Of Scar
Koebuc. d company, IN recent
NEWSPAPER interview, said that !aca
~ thrift is our che. pationa. sin,
and ne said i. even after the Euro
pean war had been IN progress scT-
erai month. and the need for com
mon sense thrift N this cbuntry had
become more imperative than ever.
His words were
'Amcricaas are the most reckless
.ycndcrs In the world. The ayeras.
man IN th.s county is Spending e"-
cr. dollar ne makes, and maybe more.
The man who follows this policy i
facing poverty every day The CHIEF
extrayagances in this country are mo-
TOR cars, dress, home and other
means for making a show
Mr.. EOsenwaId was asked To define
thrift" and replied: II don't know
what Webster calls II, but would
say that thrifty man is one who
spends less than he earns.
That seems like a good definition,
and simple thing 10 40 also. But
how many of MS ignore the wisdom
Of il,
There was once an age in America
when the people knew something
about economy. and when waste was
regarded as a sin. The women VINO
turned the spinning wheel knew about
saving. and used to teach their chill
drcn The little proyerb about "Wii-
ful waste is wOeful want" Poor
Richards Almanac, which was one
Of the original best sellers" OF the
United States, was the work OF a
man who understood compound in
tcrcs, from the point of view of the
saver.
Is II TOO much to hope that that
time will come again? Is II no'
more than probable that the eXigen-
cics of the present great convulsion
involving half the world may compel
us to choose the straight and narrow
natb of economy rather than the
broad one OF extravaganza, which az
surely leads to destruction OF indi-
vidual comfor, and efficiency ~ to
the downfall OF national prosperity?

AFTER FLA7HEAO FARMERS
TO GROW PEAS FOR SEED

VIM. A. Davis, representing
the Davis Seed Co., of Bozeman,
was in Roman Wednesday en-
deavoring to interest the farmers
in the growing of garden peas
for seed purposes. Mr.. Davis
says that the strip of country
skirting the mountain range is
especially adapted for this pur-
pose and will grow the very best
quality and yield abundantly.
His company offers to furnish
seed for this years planting and
take the same amount back this
fall in payment therefor, and
also buy the balance of the crop.
The price for peas runs from
$3.50 to $500 per bushel, and the
yield runs from Is to Is bushels
per acre according to care and
other conditions. He is very
anxious to see the farmers of
this vicinity put in at least 200
acres this spring, believing it
will be a better paying crop than
any other they might raise.
After the pea crop is harvested
the same ground can be sown to
winter wheat, and the raising of
peas on a piece of land acts the
same and has the same effect up
on the ground as summer fallow
ing, an important item to be con-
sidered by the progressive
farmer.
The quality of the peas raised
in this country is superior to all
others for seed purposes and this
fact will insure the top prices for
all that are offered for sale.

TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT
AND PLEA FOR PEACE

In an address at Philadelphia
on St. Patrick's day, addressing
the Friendly Sons of ST. Patrick,
Speaker Champ Clark eulogized
President Wilson as among the
great presidents whose names
can be counted on the fingers of
one hand"
1T is no exaggeration to say
that he bears a heavier load than
any president since Lincoln, has
borne," the speaker said.
He declared that the country
was rapidly recovering from the
depression of the European war,
and to speed prosperity, urged
that all federal, state, county
and municipal works be pressed.
"The congress has done it's
work." he said, senators and
representatives have returned to
their homes. The president re-
mains in Washington on account
of the ticklish situation in which
we find ourselves by reason of
the transatlantic war and the
Mexican civil war. 1t is no ex-
aggeration to say that he bears
a heavier burden than any presi-
dent since Lincoln, has borne.
| No man, no men, can relieve
him of his burden. His troubles,
being purely executive in char.
acter, are his and his alone. 1r
the very nature of things he
knows more what is going or
abroad than does any other mar
in America, because he has bet.
ter means of information.
Every good citizen, without
reference to politics or religion,
should trust him and uphold hin
in this crisis of our country's
fate. May God give him the
wisdom, courage and strength t.
keep us out Of entang!ement'
with foreign nations and lead Vi
in the paths of peace. -

BOOSTER HARBERT
WANTS 100000

James Harbert, Polson's S
champion booster, passed through
Roman last Sunday on his way
home from a visit to the Twin
Cities and other eastern points.
Mr.. Harbert isn't a man that
wants very much, but what he
does want he wants bad, and his
particular want at this time GER
tainly justifies the strenuous
work he has been doing and
which he proposes to continue.
Just now Mr.. Harbert wants
the United States government to
appropriate one million dollars
for the continuance Of work on
the Flathead reclamation pro-
ject. Of course, we were only
recently turned down for less
than half that amount, but even
that fact should not deter us
from asking for a cool million
for it is needed and deserved.
It is Mr.. Harbert's plan to start
a campaign right now, and keep
it up, with the idea of securing
an appropriation of 81, 600, 600
at the next session of congress,
While in the Twin Cities, he ad-
dressed a meeting of the Twin
Cities commercial club, pointing
out to the membership the vast
amount Of Montana money that
finds it's way to those cities, and
asked for reciprocity. He was
assured Of a hearty support, and
comes home feeling that if the
good work is kept up enough
eastern support can be secured
to land a million for the Flathead
at the next session Of congress.
On his way home he stopped off
in Butte and enlisted the sup
port of the Butte and Anaconda
papers and other influences. He
believes the fight can be won,
but wants every resident of the
Flathead to get busy and write
to eastern friends, especially SEN
ators and congressman, asking
them to assist our own repre-
sentatives in Washington in Sc
curing the fulfllment of the gov
ernment's pledge to the home
steaders of this section. The
slogan is, eve Want a Million. -

PRESENT "TOPSY TURvY"
At CLA|RMONT SCHOOL

People who attended the re-
production of '"Topsy Turvy" at
the Clairmont school house last
Saturday night were very pleas
antly surprised by being enter
tanned in a manner that would
do credit to a regular theatrical
troupe given only to high class
plays.
Miss Geraldine Roberts played
the role Of Mrs. Clarendon, a
wealthy old lady of eastern aris-
tocracy, presenting the part in a
splendid manner. Miss Goldie
Irish as Topsy Turvy entertained
the audience by playing the part
perfectly, and with the assistance
Of Orphia Irish as her cousin
Frank" :" always succeeded in
changing the scene from a dra-
matte to a highly humorous COM
edy. Iran Smith as the Deacon, ="
George Snyder as Lord Clar-
ence," Bertha Normandeau as
MAY Golden,'' and Elizabeth
Klebe as Miss Spriggs, were
equally strong in the presentation
of their parts, making the entire
production an intensely amusing
comedy. Abner Irish as Med,
the Nigger, Z" kept the audience
in a state of hilarity the entire
evening.
Miss Geraldine Harvey, Mrs.
Wright and daughter, Mabel,
furnished excellent music for the
occasion, and the audience was
favored by having Mrs. Spencer
sing a number of popular songs
in her usual excellent manner.
Miss Sylvia Irish also sang, in
connection with other members
of the troupe. A number OF
lunches in green bags were sold
to the highest bidders and the
evening was closed by dancing
until 2 a. m. Patrons of the
school extend their most sincere
thanks to those who assisted.

Light Registration

That very little interest is be-
ing shown in the forthcoming
town election is shown by the
registration. With the women
being entitled to vote, Romans
registration should have run high
this year, but the list as pre-
pared by the county clerk shows
only 124 registered voters.
For the school election, the
registration for the entire dis
trict is 824, divided as follows:

Assault Case Exaggerated

About two weeks ago G. M.
Peden and G. M. Millison, home
steaders in the Valley View dis
trict, engaged in a knock down
and drag out fight on the road
between Poison and Valley View.
With Mr.. Peden were John Scy-
mansky and C. L. Peden, while
a neighbor of Millison's was rid
ing with him. Trouble had been
brewing between Peden and
Millison, neighbors, for some
time, resulting in trouble when
they met on the road. Millison,
from all accounts, was thoroughly
whipped and was taken back to
the hospital in Poison. A dep
uty sheriff of Flathead county
happened to be in Poison and to
him Millison told a lurid story,
resulting in warrants being
sworn out for c.. M. and C. l..
Peden and John Scymansky,
charging them with assault in
the first degree. Their hearing
was set for last week Wednes-
day. At the hearing, Millison
was unable to prove his state
ments to the deputy sheriff, and
C. l.. Peden and John Scyman-
sky were discharged. Pending
Millison's further recovery, and
he is said to be hale and hearty
except for few exterior bruises,
G.. M. Peden was held under
bond. The report from Poison
is to the effect that the case will
not be called in Kalispell.
Some startling stories were
first spread regarding the affair,
it being claimed that three or
four men jumped onto Millison,
but this was thoroughly dis
proved, so the Pioneer is in
formed, at the hearing.

NO ADDITIONAL ENTRY
TO INCLUDE FOREST LAND

A decision of more than ordi-
nary Importance, especially to
those on forest homesteads or
those contemplating such settle
ment under the act of June II,
1906, intending to apply later for
the elimination of their home
steads from national forest
boundaries and then to avail
themselves of supposed rights
under the enlarged homestead
law, the act of Feb. 19, 1909,
and add another 100 acres to their
holdings, has just been handed
down by the secretary of the in
terror, copies of the decision hav-
ing been received at forest SER
vice headquarters in Missoula
last Thursday.
Under the ruling of the de-
cision the hopes OF those settlers
who come within the class OF
those mentioned above are
blasted.
1t is held by the secretary Of
the interior that a homestead
entry made under the act of June
II, 1906, commonly called the
forest homestead act, is moi
proper basis for an additional en-
try under the enlarged home
stead law; and lands appropri
ated under the forest homestead
law cannot be included in an en-
try made under the enlarged
homestead act.

has given an opinion in which
he holds that women when they
register, if they expect to vote,
must give their exact age. 1t is
held that it is not in full COM
pliance with the law for women
who register to say they are of
legal age or are over legal age.
The ruling is based on House
Bill 2S7, passed by the Fourteenth
assembly, and the conclusion
states that "all electors, whether
male or female, when applying
to be registered, must give their
correct age for they are required
to make affidavit that the sew
eral statements made by them
affecting their qualifications as
electors are true"
A great many women who have
registered in Montana for the
spring elections have not given
their exact age, but have simply
said they were of legal age. The
opinion does not pass on that
phase of the subject, and until
it is brought before the attorney
general it will not be known
whether the women voters who
have registered as stated will be
entitled to vote or will lose that
privilege.
