Soldiers Insurance

One of the uses to which it i
proposed to devote part of the pro
ceeds of. Liberty Loan Bonds is tt
afford our soldiers and sailors lift
and indemnity insurance and Il
provide for allowances to their de
pendent families while they are II
the ranks. On this point Secre
tary McAdoo of the Treasury
whose plan of insurance for oul
fighting men was endorsed by
President Wilson and is now EN-.
bodied in a law pending before
Congress, says:
Every soldier and sailor who
serves his country in this war will
earn everything the proposed war
insurance bill provides; to be a
beneficiary of the proposed law
will be a badge of honor.
"When we draft wage Garner,
we call not only him but the en-
tire family to the flag;the sacrifice
entailed is not divisible. The wife
and children, the mother, the ia
ther, are all involved in the sacri-
fce-they directly bear the burden
of defense. They suffer just as
much as the soldier, but in diff
ferent way, and the nation must
generously discharge as a proud
privilege the duty of maintaining
them until the soldiers and sailors
return from the war and resume
the responsibility.
"We have drawn the sword to
vindicate Americas violated rights
to restore peace and justice, and to
secure the progress of civilization.
We cannot permit our soldiers,
while they hold the front. to be
stabbed in the back by uncertainty
as to what is being done for their
owed ones at home. Our tomor-
rows are in their hands-theirs is
n ours. The national conscience
will not permit American soldiers
md their dependents to go unpro-
1ided with everything that just
and noble people can do
0 compensate them for the suffer
1gs and sacrifices they make to
erve their country" I

Entertainment
Big Success

The Red Cross entertainment
supper and dance given here last
Friday evening was the most sue
cessful of any doings ever held
here. 1t proved a decided success
both in attendance and financially.
The total receipts were $22O.75.
The first number on the pro-
gram was "The Star Spangled
Banner sung by the audience and
was led by Mrs. c. A. Daily dress
ed in a Red Cross uniform.
Next was a Tom Thumb we'd
ding, in which about Is little
youngsters, all dressed as grown
ups, took part. 1t was carried out
in fine shape and it kept the spec
tators roaring with laughter from
start to finish.
Miss Elizabeth O'Brien then fa-
vored the audience with a couple
of beautiful vocal selections. Miss
O'Brien has a wonderfully strong
voice and her singing was simply
grand.
Next was a real old folk dance
rendered by twelve children all
dressed in colonial costumes. 1t
was the first ever seen in Circle
and was real interesting.
D. L. Eastburn then favored the
audience with couple of vocal
solos which received a hearty ap-
plause. When Dave got through
singing and when again the curtain
was raised, who was on the stage

real nigger like and chuck full of |
witty sayings, mostly jokes on
local people which made you laugh |
till your sides ached. Finally a
couple of shabbily dressed colored
boys arrived on the scene with a
guitar and banjo and then there
was something doing in the line of
jigging, believe us. But the big

Lee Gets Contract
For School Basement

The local school board met last
Saturday evening to again consider
bids for the construction of a base
ment for a school house at this
place.
This time satisfactory bid was
received and contractor Lee was
the lucky bidder. His bid was
$5,750.00 and contract has already
been let. Work on the basement
is now in full blast. A large por-
ton of the material is already on
the ground. Mr.. Lees concrete
mixer has arrived and the con-
crete is already being poured into
the forms.

Wittkopp Brothers
Have A Mixup

Carl and August Wittkopp had
quite mixup over some money
matters the first part of last week
and for awhile they proceeded to
make things real interesting for
each other.
As consequence Carl had his
brother arrested on a charge of
assault. He was taken to Glendive
on Thursday of last week where
he plead guilty and paid a fine of
$500 and costs. To get even
August then had his brother Carl
pinched on a similar charge, and
he also plead guilty and was given
a fine of $500 and costs.

was discovered that the big black
fellow and old Mirandy were none
other then Guy Stephens and Ira
Fox and the colored boys were H.
P. Hill and w. T. DeBord.
Lutnes and Eastburn then rem
dered a couple of beautiful duets
and the last number on the pro-
gram was tableau representing
Uncle Sam and the Goddess of
Liberty, with Old Glory being un-
furled in the background, creating
a very impressive scene.
A delicious supper was served
at the dining room of the Glad
stone Hotel. The dining room had
been nicely decorated and the
walters all wore Red Cross uni
forms. After supper dancing was
INDUCED in until the wee small
hours of morning.
The whole affair was a decided
success and speaks volumes for the
patriotic spirit of the citizens of
Circle and vicinity. Credit for the
success of the affair is largely due
to the Mesdames Florence Step
hens, D. L. Eastburn, Claude Til
lotson and the Misses Olson and
O'Brien, as we'll as all others who
took part.
The use of electric lights, there
by enabling the use of the foot
lights on the stage at the Princess,
was of great help in carrying out
the program. This was made pos
sible through the courtesy of w.
B. Larmore and FL. Winkler who
donated the use Of the Delco light
plant which furnished fine light
for the doings.
