Want Circle-PaxtOn
Route Re-established

Last week we made a mention
of the fact that the Circle-Paxton
mail route would be discontinued
on the 14th, and we understood
that the reason for the change
was because the people down the
creek wished to have the mail
brought out from Richey. But
such is not the case.
1t was not the wish of the Red
water and Paxton people at all, to
have this route discontinued and
they are now petitioning to have
it re-established, in order to have
direct connection with Circle. This
is what the Redwater Store News
has to say regarding the matter:
1T is worth everybody's time to
try and have the mail route be-
tween Circle-Redwster- Paxton re-
established which was discontinued

Circle Again Shows
Patriotism and Loyalty

Ever since war was declared
the citizens of Circle and vicinity
have on several different occa-
sions demonstrated their patriot
ism and loyalty, and Circle may
now easily be classed as one OF
the most patriotic little cities in
the state.
Circle has, in order to do its bit
in this crest war, one of the most
active Red Cross auxiliaries in the
Redwater Valley, it has spent
more money in buying Liberty
Loan Bonds, than any other towr
in the valley, and this waek when
a committee called on them. 10
help a little towards the Y M. C..
A., fund, they responded most
literally, contributing over 5000.
This is a fact we may all justly
feel proud of.
Following is an extract of let
ter received from one of the gen
tlemen of the committee which
was here from Glendive, soliciting
funds for the Y. M. C. A., which
we take pleasure in publishing:
Il wish to take this opportunity
to express my appreciation Of the
hearty reception given to the call
Of an Army Y. NJ. C. A. by tn e.
people of Circle. The response
was unanimous and most liberal.
1t is a pleasure to visit a com
munity which evidences such pat
riotism and interest in the public |
welfare.
ileconditions in Eastern Mon |
tana are by no means favorable,
yet all the counties will exceed |
their apportionment.
Very truly yours,
w. w. Clark.

schools, heard the New Years chimes
and renewed his determination to &C.
cupy the Offices of the retiring super
intendent, w. r. Lorin. He wendell
his way at the dawn of 1917 to the
courthouse and proceeded to install
new locks on the official quarters of
the Morton county superintendent Of
schools.
In his dreams incidental to the new
year, Mr.. Jensen saw his name neatly
lettered on the official portal The
dream was rudely disturbed within a
few hours by heated argument with
the man he planned to succeed. Jen-
sen was at the official desk when Lor-
in appeared for duty and ordered the
newcomer out. A battle in which
several blows were exchanged was
stopped by other county officials.
Lorin insists he win carry the case
to the supreme court, declaring his
would-be successor cannot qualify for
the office. The county commissioners
sustain Jensen. Judge J. NJ. Hanley

Jensen disposing of an election con-

POSTPONrMENT OF !.
GRAND FORKS COURT

Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 5.-With
the departure of Judge c. NJ. Cooley
for Fargo, where he will act for Judge
A. T. Cole, successor to Judge Pol
lock, it is extremely doubtful if dis
trict court will reconvene be-
fore Tuesday, January 3, when the
jury will be called for the hearing of
civil cases.
1t is remarkable that at this session
of district court. which 1t was conf
IDENTIFY expected would take up the en-
tire week, all on the criminal calendar
with the exception of one, Charles
Smith. have pleaded guilty to the
charges preferred against them.
Smith, colored man, who has been
in the emp1tA of A. d. Cunningham,
yesterday was sentenced to 80 days
in the county jail and fine of 5000,
on a liquor charge. Today officials
state that Smith has about made up
his mind to plead guilty to the charge
rather than face evidence in the
states attorneys office for more
serious breach of the liquor law. The
present charge is alleged to be his
second offense. Smith having served
80 days in the county Jail last sum-
mer. " 81. -~ -"
Another case to come up at the
present term is that of Ole Hagen OF
Northwood on the charge of carrying
concealed weapons. 1t is alleged that
Hagen packed a 80 caliber pistol
which he occasionally brandished in
miscellaneous fashion while under the
influence OF liquor. He was arrested
at q Northwood garage. where the
alleged offense was committed and
bound over to the district court.

those enjoyed by city children. In
keeping with this program, everything
possible will be done to assist rural
school officers and patrons in stand
ardizing rural schools-that is, I'm
grading them up to meet modern
standards-and to consolidate them
where feasible. To do this, Mr. Mac
donald estimates the requirements in
state aid at four times the amount
now received and believes that at least
four times the present number of
rural school inspectors win be necesSi-
tated.
At the present time, the rural
schools received $4,000 less than the
city schools as state aid. and there is
but one inspector for rural schools.
as with city schools, although there
are forty times as many rural as city
schools and the rural residents pay
nearly four times as much taxes.
