Circle May Soon Have
First National Bank

Circle has such a bright future
as a coming little city that already
competition is keen for the priv
ilege of opening a third bank here,
which if granted will be First
National.
Several attempts have been made
before to get a charter for a First
National Bank at this place, but
now it seems almost a certainty
that it will be granted as H. M.
Buckles a National bank examiner
was here last Monday to investi-
gate the different applications for
a charter. We understand there
are at least three applications.
1t will be definitely known in
about month who will get the
as it seems to be practically
a certainty that it will be granted.

Crop Prospects Ex-
cellent---Large Acreage

In spite of the backward spring
the farmers of the Redwater Valley
have succeeded in getting in g
larger acreage of crop this spring
than has ever been sown in the
Redwater Valley heretofore. 1t is
safe to say that the increased
acreage is fully Is percent-we be-
lieve it's more than that right now
and they are not through breaking
for flax yet.
Crop prospects at the present
time are indeed excellent and point
to a bumper crop next fall. With
big snow last winter practically
all of which soaked into the ground,
the ground this spring was in ideal
condition. The month of May was
rather dry but the past couple
weeks we haye had considerable
moisture. 1t is estimated that fully
3 inches of moisture has fallen the
past ten days.

J. A. Miller To Build
Large Feed Barn Here

Circle will soon have another
feed barn and it will be a big one
too. 1t is to be built by J. A. Miller
of this place.
Mr.. Miller reports that he does
not know the exact location of the
new barn yet, but will know soon
and that the new barn will soon be
under construction.
The barn will be 34x100 feet in
size and will have IA foot posts
which will give lots of room for
hay upstairs.
The past year or more Mr.. Miller
has been fornan of the Hat x ranch
and just recently resigned his po-
sition there and moved to Circle.
Mr.. Miller will no doubt conduct a
first class barn and do nice bust
ness.

Circle Will Soon Look City Like
Cement Walks Beinq Laid

| War or no war, railroad or no
railroad, Circle is forging ahead by
leaps and bounds just the same.
New buildings are going up near
ly every week, a number are under
construction now and some more
will be soon. The only trouble
local contractors have is to get the
building material out fast enough.
This proves that in spite of our
country being at war and being an
inland town, the citizens of Circle
are indeed a bunch of boosters.
They are real live wires, men who
have confidence in, and know that
Circle is destined to become the
leading trading center of the Red
water Valley. Therefore they are
not afraid to spend their money
here to help make our present"
little inland town the future city"
of this famous Redwater Basin.
But they are not satisfied with
just building up business houses,
churches, residences, etc. A year
ago we had our streets graded and
now we are going to have cement
because we don't like to
wade through the mud and then
it will give Circle more of city like
Work on some of the cement
sidewalks was started this week.
Mr.. O'Keefe of the Gladstone Hotel
being the first one to have ce-'
nent walk laid in Circle, the work
being done by Broholm & Woodley
A walk has also been built in
.ront of the Redwater Valley State
Bank and the Princess Theatre and
here are also quite number of
'thers who already have decided
o put in cement walks and most
# them will be laid this month.
We understand nearly two blocks
f cement walks will be laid on
1ain street.

doings here the 4th.
Good band music is always pleas

to hear a good band, and right
here we wish to say that the local
band will be in aposition to render
some pretty swell stuff by the 4th
of July. Plan to come and hear
the band play on July 4th.

Paxton Here Next Sunday

For some unknown reason the
Paxton ball team did not show uI
last Sunday and local fans were
very much disappointed. 1t is
thought that owing to the big rain
they thought it too muddy to play
ball.
However the Paxton nine will
be here next Sunday and a good
game is looked for. The local
ball team has been fortunate in
securing the services of Carmen
and Lumsden for the battery
which will enable the locals to do
some fine work.

TO REPEAT 1NGOMAR'
At SYLVAN THEATER
R. DA Mclean to Have Title Role
in Hemmick-Shepherd Production.

On account Of the enormous success
Of 'Ingomar." when produced two
weeks ago for the Confederate Vet
Grams, Mrs. Christian Hemmick and
Mrs. r. D. Shepherd have been asked
to repeat 1t on June Is at the Sylvan
Theater with R. D. MacLean in the
title role. The performance will be
given in honor of visiting veiled
prophets and their guests.
"lngomar" was written by Maria
Lowell and was one of the principal
Cullough and Mary Anderson. Mrs.
Hemmick and Mrs. Shepherd have
been most fortunate in surrounding
Mr.. MacLean with a splendid cast
headed by Mr.. Maud Howell Smith,
Mr.. Henry F. Dolan, Mr.. Maurice Jar
Wis, Mr.. Findley S. Hayes, Mr.. Danis
S. Connell, Mr.. Charles Sutterly, Mrs.
Mary Russell Hardy, Mr.. Arthur B.
White and others.
The lighting efects Of the Sylvan
Theater are peculiarly adapted to the
production Of Ingomar. Mrs Hem
mick and Mrs. Shepherd expect to
put on ten classic plays with R, D.
MacLean as the star.
The costume Mr. MacLean will ap-
pear in was worn by the great Edwin
Forrest and the shield used in the
play was one that was carried by Ed
win Booth. The rest of the costumes
were made and designed by the Neigh
bcrhood House here. There will be
100 Roman swords and 100 spears used
in the production. Mrs. Hemmick
and Mrs. Shepherd will take the per-
formance to Baltimore early in the
fall and to Philadelphia also.

Who are they who have been ar

Who are they who have arisen in the
