The meeting held in Scearce's
hall on Tuesday afternoon, to
sign up farmers who will con-
tracts to plant sugar beets, was
attended by some 60 or Is farm
ers, besides business men from
Roman. The latter are much in
terested in securing signatures
to contracts for the reason they
believe it means the future pros
perity of the whole community.
The farmers showed every in
dication of being as deeply inter-
ested, but so many of them are
still the owners of farms which
are not supplied with irrigation
bitches that only a meagre
amount of land was able to be
contracted for.
Present at the meeting were
R. M. Barr, agriculturalist for
the Great Western Sugar Co.,
w. W. Woods, president of the
Missoula chamber of commerce,
and F. M. Lawrence, secretary
Of the Western Montana fair. All
spoke concerning the advisability
of securing enough acreage to
thoroughly demonstrate the feas-
ibility of growing beets on the
Flathead and Mr.. Barr explained
in detail every phase of the situ-
alton. He would not approve of
any contracts where there was
not water already on the land to
irrigate the 1917 crop, and only
secured 220 acres. ltis thought,
however, that $50 or 200 acres
more can be signed up in this

BRITISH NOT EXCITED
OVER VOYAGE OF SUB

London. July 11.-Much interest has
been aroused in England over the ar
rival of the German submarine
Deutschland at an American port. The
news received is given which make no

comment
AS to the voyage and the proposal
to establish line Of submarines be-
tween Germany and America no ap-
prehension whatever finds expression.
1t was pointed out that in view of
the repeated voyages of both British
and German submarines to the eastern
Mediterranean, the crossing of the At
lantic was not to be considered an un-
usual feat.
'The only surprise is that it was not
done before said one official, who
added that there was no reason why
submarines should not get through the
North sea. unless they met with a
mishap'

MINNESOTA TROOPS
START FOR BORDER

Camp Bobleter, Fort Smelling, Minn
July 1.-THE first of Minnesotas men
are Off for the front
While men of the other regiments
looked on and shouted assurances Of
reunion soon on the border the Third
regiment broke camp and entrained
for the Southwest.
There were no false ideas of glory
to be won by the members of the
Third as they swung through the Fort
Smelling grounds to the station. Guard
ing the Southern border of the United
States against raids by bandits from
stormy Mexico would be no frolic, the
youngsters realized, but there was no
lack of enthusiasm, all were eager to
get on the job, to get nasty business
cleaned up and over with as soon as
possible.
Most of those who took the trains
at Camp Bobleter for Texas were
youngsters, many of them seeming no
older than school boys, yet all capable
of performing the work they are being
sent to do.

CHEESE FACTORY
GAN Be SECURED

John Nadrau was up to kalispell
there learned that Roman can secure
cheese factory if the people here
want such an industry and will only
make a small effort to secure it. He
says that Nels Salonder of Echo lake;
who is now successfully operating a
cheese factory at that place, will
build one here if the people will fur
'nish him with sufficient milk to enable
him to run the same after it is estap-
lished. That seems like a fair offer
and this paper believes the matter
should have the serious consideration
of both the people in Roman and the
farmers contiguous to the town.
Mr. Naudrau says that no one makes
better cheese than Mr.. Solander and
that anyone doubling this statement
can verify it by sending to Echo lake
and sample of the cheese being made
there will be sent for trial test.
With the chances good for consid-
cradle acreage of sugar beets being
grown here the coming year, it would
seem proper that our farmers should
prepare to put in dairy cows to eat
the beet tops which will be waste
unless there is stock to consume this
valuable portion of such crop. Beet
tops can be sliced and made avail
able for winter feed and taken to-
gether will be the most profitable ven-
ture our farmers could engage in
Sugar beets and dairy cows go to-
gether and with creamery at Poison
cheese factory in Roman would be
able to care for all the milk and cream
which the farmers could produce and
at profitable prices. At present it is
stated that all cheese factories are
making money for the reason that
prices for cheese of all kinds has rap
idly advanced and everywhere there
is big demand.

GERMANS HALT
BRITISH DRIVE

London, July lin one of the most

the Western front the Germans drove
back the advancing British and enter.

Five great waves of German infantry,
reinforced by heavy guns behind them,
rolled against the British lines in their
new position and were thrown back
again.
The sixth assault succeeded and the
British were thrust out of the woods.
The English are organizing themselves
for another attempt to capture the po-
stion and desultory fighting continued
in the wood.
The casualties on both sides were
heavy.

Mr.. Benton, like every other poIiti-

has met with some opposition. Fun
damently opposition can be Just and
honorable involving principle but
when it is founded ON untruth and is
prompted by jealousy, hatred and
narrow mindedness it seldom's hurts
a candidates interest and often helps
him as we believe certain things
which have recently transpiredE in,
this district are going to be advanta-
geous to Mr.. Benton for they are SO
glaringly untrue that the reaction on
the parties that have participated in
them will be much greater than any
harm that come to Mr.. Benton
through them. Benton's life is an
open book to the readers of the news
papers in the Sixth district and his
dealings with his fellow man have
been of such a nature that he has
won the respect and absolute conf

Fords which for time threatened
TO take in the whole Ford family and
distressed worthy owners. While
driving at high speed young Owens
overturned near Kristof's in south
Voda. He luckily escaped without
injury to himself but somewhat dam
aged the car. The epidemic spread
rapidly. On Monday morning Com
missioner August Hamm started to
town n his Ford to take the county
board on an inspection trip and
while near the Mussemann farm
struck some soft road and turned
over Mr.. Hamm was not so fortu-
nate being badly bruised about the
hips and abdomen and at this writing
is still confined to his home and un-
der the care of a doctor. A little
later County Surveyor H. Harlan.
who was to be one of the Hamm par
ty that day, was ready to start from
his home for town He had been adj
vised of the Hamm accident and
commented by saying ''such acct
dents were unnecessary" but his turn
was coming. He turned over two
miles east of town coming in receiv-
ing severe bruising of the right leg
and a considerable damage to his
Ford And again, George Bauer of
this city, who had gone to Russell on
visit in his Ford car, upset George
says three timesl while driving near
the above place. George was badly
bruised on the face, arm and body
and was brought home on No JOB
Tuesday evening. The machine was
left at Russell. All of the above ac-
occurred within about twenty
four hours time. We are glad to
note that nothing more serious was
the result. The plague has been
for time and we trust for
al time.

in contact and no scurrilous attack
will have any power to shake the
confidence that the voters of the
district have in Mr. Benton. He
possesses unusual qualifications that
pre-eminently fit him for congress.
1t is seldom a man possesses the good
judgment, the high personal charac-

zeal TO such an unusual, degree as
does Mr.. Benton. He looks a long
way into the future and he has the
interest of the people at heart and if
he goes To congress he will be an in
strnment in the hands of the people
TO be used for the very best things
that all his powers can be brought to
bear upon and bis fidelity to duty
can be relied upon with confidence.
The people of this district want
the best man that they can find for
congress and that man without any
hes1tancy is Otis l.. Benton. A bust
ness man, a christian man, a man of
fine and high ideals, an honest man.
a true blue Republican, and a man
who knows western Kansas thorough
ly having spent a greater part of his
life here. What more can be ask
ed? He fills all the requirements
and there is not q particle of doubt
about his nomination and election.
The reasons there are no doubts have
been given, think them over fairly
and ask where a better candidate can
be found and the answer will come of
its self Benton is the man.
