Two Dollars Per Yea
Will Organize An
Athletic ASSOc'n
Meeting to Be Held Mon
day Evening For
that Purpose

There will be a meeting at
the Pioneer Press office next
Monday evening, the purpose
of which will be the organiza-
ton Of an athletic club. The
idea was suggested by Principal
Fairbrother and it has met with
hearty response. Prin. Fair
brother suggests the old school
building as thepermanent head
quarters of the club, further
more he suggests that it be in
no way connected with h e
school athletics, but an organ
ization of all citizens interested
in sports and pastimes for the
winter season. T h e Pioneer
Press understands that the old
school building can be rented
for this purpose at a very rea-
sonable figure a d a it is
equipped with a good lighting
and heating system and is suf-
ficiently spacious for all indoor
sports, it will doubtless be se-
lected as the meeting place for
the proposed club. All who are
interested in the organization of
a club for physical development
and social diversion should
come to the meeting Monday
evening. Officers will be chosen
and plans made for equipping
the club room. 1t will prove of
incalculable benefit to the young
boys and old boys - and the
girls, young and old, also. So
come to the meeting.

Harvest is Smaller
Than Last Years
But High Price Will More
Than Make Up For
Smaller Yield

Enough threshing has been
done to date to convince the
grain raisers in this section that
the 1916 crop will not yield as
well as that of 1915, a year of
extraordinary grain yields
yields that in one or two in
stances topped known records.
The crop this year will be a
very good average. Wheat will
average about Is bushels per
acre and flax about Is. The
recent frost did some damage,
effectine the grade consider
ably. The continually soaring
prices will easily offset the
smaller yield and the crop har-
vested here this year will bring
more money, undoubtedly, than
last years great harvest.
The Marias section is the BAN
ner secion this season. Wilbur
Baird's wheat yielded about
40 bushels per acre and a 20 acre
field Welded about 5O-of fine
No. wheat. One Ethridge
farmer realized $4,000 from a
9-acre wheat patch,

Figures on City Work

The city has just completed
the extension of 1850 feet Of
water mains, under direction of
Jens Bake. City Clerk Van
Denmark has been doing a little
figuring since the completion of
this work and finds that it cost
the city 4lc per foot, as against
$40 when the main system
W s installed by Contractor
Green. The job cost the city
S1037 and if it had been done
by Green it would have cost
$2750. And this saving h a S
been effected in the face of
higher prices f or piping this
year. The city fire hall is now
completed, also, at a cost of
about $500 and the fire appar-
atus will be installed therein at
once.

To Subscribers:

The print paper famine con-
stantly grows worse. 1t is now
very difficult for the small pur-
chaser to procure material at
any price. There is a big loss
10 be faced in the subscription
department. If collections are
not made promptly the loss will
be still greater. We must do
something to meet the situation
and have decided to remove all
delinquent subscribers from our
mailing list at an early date.
This week we removed the
names of a number who failed
to respond to statements. There
is nothing personal in this ac-
ton and no favorS are to be
granted. the step is taken to
fortify ourselves against meet
ing a still greater loss. Print
paper is 300 per cent higher to-
day than eight months ago and
our advices are that it will COM
tinue to ascend until the close
of the war and possibly after
that time.

D0n't Be 'Ketcbed
By these Election
"SHckevs''

Numerous "slickers" are try
ing to take money from the
unsuspecting by offering to bet
that neither Woodrow Wilson
nor Charles Evans Hughes will
be the next president of the
United States.
Here's the explanation:
March 4, 1917, when President
Wilson's term expires, is a
Sunday. 1t is contrary to
precedent to have an inaug-
uration on Sunday.
By an act of congress dated
Jan. 10. 1886, it is provided that
the secretary of state and other
cabinet officers in order shall
succeed to the presidency in
case both the president and the
vice president are eliminated.
Hence, barring his death or
resignation, Robert Lansing,
now secretary of state, will be
president for "a hours, begin
ming at noon Sunday.

Poorly Advertised

The Choteau M ontana a
voices a complaint INDUCED in
by many citizens all over Teton
county, concerning the adver-
tlSlng of the recent state land
sale. Few people in the county,
outside the Conrad zone, were
aware of the date of the sale or
the description of the lands or
lots to be sold. The advertising
of the sale appeared exclusiv oly
in the Conrad Independent, of
ticlal organ of the democracy
in this county, and as the state
land board is democratic through
and through, no other paper is
recognized. w hile Brother
Thomas Busey is not at all to be
blamed, rather to be compli-
mented for his good fortune in
having all this fat" handed to
him on a silver salver, it does
seem lik t pretty "peanutty"
politics on the part of the land
board. A number of lots and
tracts in Cut Bank were offered
for sale Gn the Independent
and scarcely a dozen citizens
were aware of the sale. AS a
result there were but three or
four bidders for the Cut Bank
property.
