Chas. v. Bell Resigns
Position Deputy Sheriff

1t was no little surprise to the
residents of Circle when it was
announced last Tuesday that Chas.
Bell, the popular deputy sheriff at
this place, had resigned his posi-
ton, to take effect May 1st.
Mr.. Bell accepted the appoint
ment of deputy sheriff for this
place about two years ago and has
always been found to conduct the
duties of the office in a fair and
impartial manner.
Mr.. Bell has decided to go back
to his farm on Dirty creek and go
to farming again and this is his
reason for resigning his position as
deputy here. The Bells have won
a large host of friends during their
stay here and it is indeed with re-
gret that we see them leave our
midst. They expect to move out.
on the farm in a few days.

Have A Royal Time
At R. n. A. Ball

AS usual, the annual ball of the
local R. N. A., Camp, proved TO be
a bowling success. 1t is always
taken for granted that when the
Royal Neighbors give anything in
the line of entertainment, you are
assured of a good time, and indeed
it was SO at the Easter Ball given
last Monday evening.
The ball was given at the Prin-
cess Theatre, and about IT'S people
were present. Excellent music
was furnished by the Circle Band,
the boys donating their services.
That the music was good and ap-
preciated was plainly evidenced
by the many encores received dur
ing the evening.
At midnight a delicious supper
was served by the ladies, at the
Gem Cafe, to which everyone done
justice, aflerwhich dancing was
in again until morning.

Farmers And RanCherS' Tel. Go.
Hold Annual Meeting

The annual meeting of the
Farmers and Ranchers' Telephone
Company was held here at Circle
last Saturday to elect officers and
to consider various things in re-
CARDS to the installing of the local
telephone exchange, etc.
Twenty-Five of the stockholders
were present and the following
board of directors was elected:
Chester Anderson, H. R. Reinemer,
J. E. King, M. A. Thoreson and
o. ]. Thompson. The directors
later met and elected Chester An
derson, President, M. A. Thoreson,
Vice-president, O. ]. Thompson,
Secretary a nd H. R. Reinemer,
Treasurer, from among their num-
Der.
At the stockholders meeting
there were several minor changes
made in the bylaws of the corpor-
alton, one of them being that
shares be $50 piece but that the
phones remain the property of the
company, the company, then to
look after all lines and phones.
This was done because it was
thought it would assure of better
service. Bylaws were also a.
mended providing for rental of
phones to non-stockholders, max.
imum set of phone rates were also
adopted both for the stockholders
and those who wish to rent, but
are to be regulated by the board
of directors.
The local exchange will be
placed in the Ziler building and
soon as the material which is
necessary to install same arrives,
will be put into operation. The
inc up north to Lost creek will
also be constructed soon as poss-
ible. Soon as the local exchange
gets into operation the Pioneer
Telephone Company's line will be
connected up with the local ex-
change also.

Moriarty For Dep. Sheriff

Since the resignation of our
present deputy sheriff Chas. w.
Bell there has been considerable
talk in town as to who would be a
good man to have appointed to fill
the vacancy caused by Bells res
ignation.
The only man we have heard
mentioned for the position so far
is ]. ]. Moriarty of this place and
we do not hesitate to endorse his
appointment, and it is hoped that
Geo. Twible, the Dawson County
Sheriff, will give him thorough
consideration before making any
appointment.
Mr.. Moriarty is at present en-
ployed at Seglen's dry goods store,
but would be in a position to de-
vote his entire time to the duties
of the office. He is a man who is
well liked = by all who have the
pleasure of knowing him person
ally, and it is needless to say
would fulfill the duties of the
office in a fair and impartial man.
ner. A better man would be hard
to find for this position.
A petition is being circulated
today asking that Moriarty be ap-
pointed deputy sheriff at this place
and over IS business men and re-
sidents of Circle had signed same
within a couple hours. This
speaks well for Johns popularity
in town.

1t has been known by friends
for some time that Miss Clara Reno,
a sister of Olaf and Gilbert Reno

Ormo of this place, had been very
i'll, but last Tuesday morning a
message came stating that she had
passed away that morning, at the
home of her parents at Badger

Miss Reno was a young lady on
ly % years of age, but for several
years had been suffering with con-
sumption, resulting in her untime-

Horse Greek Bridge Washed
0ut--ReSu|t Of Ice Jam

The upper Horse creek bridge
at Burdett's crossing was washed
out last week as the result of an
ice jam which formed at the
bridge. One row Of pilings was
broken out and two sections of
the bridge floated away down the
stream being stranded about a
half mile down the creek.
However Sunday evening the
creek raised again and they floated
down to the lower bridge. One
section lodged there and the other
passed through but was finally
caught and landed a half mile fur
ther down the stream by Messrs.
Tillotson, Njaa and Gravdal. Mr..
Tillotson had gotten out on the
floating bridge in an attempt to
stop its journey to New Orleans
and it is said that if it hadn't been
for the skillful handling of a lariat
rope by Erling Njaa Mr.. Tillotson
would now perhaps been out in
the Gulf of Mexico, playing hide
and-go-seek with some of those
German submarines.
The lower bridge at Circle also
had a close call as several pilings
were knocked out. The clearance
between the pilings on these
bridges is 20 feet but this does not
seem to be sufficient to allow the
huge cakes of ice that came down
this creek during the breakup to
pass through.

Value Of Patriotism
In Winning Wars

Washington, March 27.-Th'
value of sentiment and patriotism
in winning wars was emphasized
by Congressman Evans, of Mon
tana in speech last night before
Lincoln Camp, Sons of Veterans
in Perpetual Building Hall. The
speaker was given an attentive
hearing and was frequently intur.
rupted by applause.
In these critical times" said
Mr.. Evans, "it were we'll if we
tried to gather more sentiment
from the life of Washington, the
prtriot and savior of our country.
Now on the eve of a great crisis
may it not be we'll to search our
hearts and ask ourselves what
would Washington do if he were
here today?
I'VE read in history how Robert
Bruce, king of the Scots, requested
that when his day was done his
heart might be taken from his
body and borne to the Sepulchure
of the Savior. Faithful to the
promise made, his followers at
tempted to carry out the wishes
of their king and hero. The heat
of Bruce was removed and encased
in a golden casket, and a few faith
full friends and followers started
for the Holy Land on their sacred
mission. On their way they were
beset by many enemies and were
in great danger of being captured,
when the Earl of Douglass, who
had followed the lead of Bruce on
a hundred battlefields and never
met befeat, grasped the sacred
heart and, hurting it amidst the
enemy, exclaimed:
LEAD on, Oh heart of Brice,
We follow thee!
'"The brave knights with such
love and faith in Bruce renewed
the unequal contest, fought with
redoubled courage and valor and,
cutting their way though the en-
emy won the day.
Might we not today reconse-
crate our love and devotion to our
country, her flag and her institu-
tions? In this hour of a great
national crisis may we not catch
some of the inspiration that comes
from the past, and, taking in our
hands the great heart of Wash
ington, encased in our love and |
devotion, hurl it far among our
foes, whether at home or abroad,
and exclaim in unison;
Lead on, o heart of Washington,
We follow thee, yea we follow thee!"
