ROMANS OPPORTUNITY
TO GET LIGHTS 8 WATER

Registration for the voting on the
issuance of bonds to defray the ex-
pense of a water system and the
granting of a franchise for electric
lights ended Thursday night Those
who were unable to register during
the days designated may do so Satur-
day in the lobby of the postoffice
where the entire list will be revised
and corrected, and everyone qualified
to vote is urged to see that his or
her name appears on the list. The
vote on these questions will be cast
Monday. July 10Th, in the different
wards of the town at the usual poll
ing places.
The long looked and hoped for op-
portunity has now arrived when it
is the privilege of the people to de-
eide whether or not we shall have
these necessities. and it is perhaps
needless to point out to anyone the
many reasons why we must have
them if Roman is to advance in the
same ratio as other reservation
towns and keep pace with the devel-
opment of the entire country. In
the first place. fire protection is i'm
pcrative. and with it the abnormal
insurance rate we have endured the
past eight years would be materially
decreased, and would encourage men

with means to come here and invest
money and help build up the town.
Without fire protection, it is doubt
full if many would care to assume
the risk. With water much can be
done to improve and beautify our
city. Gardens, lawns, flowers and
trees may be had with very little
effort, but without it, the past two
weeks during which not a drop of
to prove the absolute necessity of
water and lots of it, And water
available for domestic purposes would
certainly be a boon to the housewife.
Electricity is just as desirable at
this time for both light and power
and would be a saving of no little
consequence to those who are now
depending upon gasoline.
Should the election called for July
18th fail in it's purpose. i'm all prob
ability it will mean postponcmcnt of
future action OH the subjects of
light and water at least until the
advent of a new city administration.
which is two years hence. and in
the meantime Roman will mark time
while the world progresses.
Vote right on these questions on
Monday. July 18th.

GENERAL CROP CONDITIONS
NOT BADlAS REPORTED

The statement by Mr.. Newcome Is
somewhat encouraging and it would
be a relief to know that the crops of
the state are not a failure. In the
ing from the drouth but the same
conditions existed here in the early
part of the season and as a result
much of the seeding was done late
and is now up but not ready to
head. The farmers of the valley are
securing water permits as rapidly as
possible and every one who can is
irrigating what portion OF his crop
that is under the bitches. Grain
that was headed out and beginning
to fiji is feeling the dry weather to
large extent, but with rain soon
it is expected that most OF the late
sown grain will come through all
right. Applications for water are
pouring into the reclamation head
quarters every day and the water
is being made available as fast as
possible.
The results of a continued drouth
can hardly be estimated. The loss in
dollars and cents will be tremendous,
for the appeal of the government for
a large food crop put every dollar
and every available ounce Of effort
+ into the expansion Of the crop area
in the valley Many farmers arc now
heavily burdencd as a result Of the
extra expenditure for seed and labor
this spring and a crop failure Will
mean financial ruin to many. IN adj
dtion to the expense of seeding, the
amount of money already expended in
the fight against the grasshoppcrS
has run up into thousands of dollars
and that this may turn out to be
a waste of'tme and money is all the
more disastrous.

council the appointment by Mayor
John p. Swee of Edward r. CRAWFORD
as town clerk, was approved by the
council and Mr.. Crawford has as
sumed the duties Of his new office
succeeding Mr.. A. Sutherland who
formerly held the position. The
duties of the town clerk are rapidly

WOULD GO BEFORE
HIS TIME COMES
CLYDE ALLEN FOSTER SETS a
WORTHY EXAMPLE OF DEVO- ;,
TON TO COUNTRY.

Clyde Allen Foster, or Culleoka, one
of the volunteers among the drafted
men to report before his time at Camp
Gordon, is son of Mr.. and Mrs. Kirk
Foster and is a patriot of the sort
that one admires. When he regis
tered he was employed in an automo-
bile factory at Detroit, Mich, and
making over $3.50 per month, but as
soon as he was drawn and summoned
under the draft he came home, made
no claim for exemption and now has
volunteered to 60 before his time.
His parents are naturally very proud
of the spirit that animates this youth
full patriot and his many friends pre-
dict that he will soon receive proper
recognition in the new army.

said Mr.. Pink Coleman, a well-known

days ago.
She hadn't been able to walk
across a loft room for over three
years and was SO crippled with rheu-
matism that she had to have some
one to comb her hair for her." na'
continued. For many years she has
been subject to severe attacks of
rheumatism and Indigestion. Terss
rible pains would strike her in the
back and it would seem like all thu
feeling had gone from her lower
limbs at times. Her liver was out OF
shape and dull bursting headaches
gave. her lot of trouble and the
treatment and medicines we could
find for her failed to do her any good.
ut is the most remarkable thing T
ever saw or heard of how Tanlac
helped her. She started to improve
right away after she began taking it
and gained fifteen pounds in weight
She continued to get better all the
| time until the rheumatism entirely
disappeared and she seemed made in
to brand new woman.
That's been over two years ago
and she has improved continually
ever since and can now do all her
own housework. We are all mighty
thankful to Tanlac for making her a
well woman"
