This (Ekalaka) world we're liv-
ing in is mighty hard to beat.
We get a thorn with every rose,
but amt the roses sweet.
1t is not apparent why we de-
mur and murmur at weather and
other conditions that would be
received with a feeling of awe,
admiration and delight by people
of less favored localities. 1t is
unquestionably true that we have
have much more precipitation
than statistics accredit to US.
This can be explained, in part,
BY the unsavory reputation for
lying that is generally accredited
to statistics, There is no deny
ing that our summer rains place
our roads i'll a condition (momen-
tarily so to speak) that is not al
together pleasing to one handling
a six up or a six cylinder.
At times it may seem hard to be
shut indoors, kept from the fields,
hung up on the road or deprived
of 10y rides" for days at a time,
yet these are merely trivial in
coveniences that should give us
a higher appreciation of fair and
balmy days and our cool and re-
freshing nights.
Our rich and fertile soils pro-
ducing successfully abundant
crops, our large areas of grasses
with rapidly increasing focks and
herds, produce prosperity, build

Organize Rough Riders

Anticipating far more trouble
with the greasers down in Mexi.
co and the likelihood of call fo,
volunteers being issued any time
now, DR.. j. P. Hedges and S. j.
Emswiler have opened up re-.
crulting offices in Ekalaka and
expect to soon organize a troop
OF rough riders. Many of the
boys who are experienced in rid
ing. shooting and roughing it
have signified their willingness
to join. Mr.. Hedges received
word from Miles City last week
that move was being made in
that city to organize a troop and
knowing that Fallon County can
and will, if needed furnish a
troop, recruiting was commenced
at once. It is proposed to have
all those might be willing to en-.
list to sign up at once and then
in event a call is sent out from
Washington the boys will be all
ready to take the field and offer
their services to the government.
Those enlisting or signing up at
the local offices may never be
called, but the chances at pres
ent indicate that a regiment of
rough riders from Montana will
be need and asked for, therefor
all you boys who desire to offer
your services in such a case, drop
in at the recruiting offices and
sign up.

Speaking of Liars

The liar whom the editor hates
the worst of all is the man who,
when dunned for a years SUBJ
scription, says he only received
two or three copies of the paper
during the year and refuses to
pay. -Clarksville Graphic.
Next to, if not above this one
the editor hates a liar who takes
the paper seven or eight years,
and when finally asked for set
tlement, says he never ordered
it. Pike County Post.
But the worst liar of the whole
outfit is the man who takes the
paper several years and then
moves away without paying. or
saying anything about it, and
yet he says he's an honest man
Ellsbury Advance.
Brethren, you all fall short of
the truth. The biggest liar of
the is the editor who publishes
the obituary of these aforesaid
liars, and intimates that they
have gone to Heaven. Plymouth
