Jack Bennett, sheriff of Sheri-

rated on for appendicitis at Rugby

arrived there and as he is still very
ill nothing has been done as yet
in his case.
Mrs. Pearson does not seem at
all agitated and says that it is
fact that it is a fact that before
leaving for North Dakota she and
her husband tried to leave the
child with the Walburgs in Glas-
gov, and that when they were
compelled to take it with them,
the child was COTTON rid of by her
husband throwing it from the car

keep the baby, went to Mondak on

IDENTIFY the remains and the child's
which were being kept
here for that purpose.-News,

them that the citizens of Circle and

The reception in their honor was
given at the Princess Theatre,

a splendid address of Welcome was

Joy Ride Cost
$500 and Costs

To take another mans auto and
go for a joy ride doesn't always
pay, that is if you are caught at
it.
Frank Roddy reports that at
least one of the lads that made use
of his car a few months ago, got
what he wasn't looking for. 1t
was Louis Altman who was arrest
ed at Glendive about two weeks
ago, and upon pleading guilty of
the charge of having taken Mr..
Roddy's car without consent, was
fined $500 and costs.
1t seems that John Scherley, a
cook that used to work for Pardis
was in on the deal, and the two
Peterson girls who also worked at
the Gem Cafe at the time, are the
ones who 'let the cat out of the
bag" Louis had also admitted
using other cars without pernis-
sion.
The car in question, it will be
remembered had been taken one
night and abandoned out at the
Jip creek bridge and was found
with one Of the front wheels
smashed.

Free Banners For
The Soldier Boys

When our soldier boys arrive
at the training camps there will NJ
doubt be times when they will be-
come lonesome and often think OF
home and those dear to them.
There will be times when little
II lews from home will seem nice
and we have therefore decided to
offer the Circle Banner absolutely
free of charge to anyone drafted
from the Redwater Valley. We
feel that this is the least we could
do to help cheer the boys while
away from home, defending "Old
Glory"
Therefore we would like to have
all the boys drafted from this vi
cinity, write us when they go to
the training camps, give us their
address and we will see to it that
they get the Banner.
Everyone is always glad to get
the home paper and we feel that
no one will appreciate it more than
our own pals and friends and also
those whom we don't know, while
they are away from home.
Now boys don't fail to write us,
the Banner is yours for the asking. |

has reduced the size of the portions somewhat,
has made Tuesday meatless day for members

and bacon as garnish for other meats, and as
patriotic measure has discontinued altogether the
serving of baby lamb, veal, sucking pig, and

In the use of bread, large savings are gained
through a change in the system Of serving and
through the discontinuance of cinnamon rolls, cof-

of bread for rolls.

~ ERE from the case records of eminent

it may help some boys and girls or TO-DAY from
futre nervous invalidism.
1t is the story of a man of forty, who mad tor

neurologist went to work on the theory tnaC Tue
dyspepsia might be hysterical anectlon' the re-

This theory was strengthened by the singular
fact that the dyspepsia became much worse at
regular intervals, causing its victim special ulS

What the " ar's Casualty
Figures Really ShoW.

People Furnishing themselves with needless
fears when they assume that the chances of safe
return all against the man who goes into the
present war On the contrary, the chances are
that he will come home not only trailing clouds
of glory" but with more vigorous health than he
enjoyed before and with a bettered expectancy
of a long and hardy life.
This is the deliberate conclusion of insurance
authorities and expert statisticans who have stud
led the mortality and health records of the troops
fighting the Western front. 1t should be noted
at the outset that deaths from disease the firing
line and in the camps show a considerably lower
rate than the normal figures for the average COM
munity. This is not due solely to the fact that
the soldiers themselves selected for bodily
fitness because in great of the past death rate
from disease has been appalling, higher indeed than
that from fighting. The true explanation is that
these men cared for soldiers never we're
cared for before; their health is guarded far
scrupulously than they themselves ever would
guard IL at home.
1t is TO this important circumstance and also to
the marvellous skill of modern surgery that the
great number of recoveries from wounds must be
ascribed. The records show that the rate of COM
plete reeuperation among all the wounded, the
most serious included, is eight hundred and
fifty to the thousand. More than ninety per cent
, of the wounded English return to the front Fur
, thermore, the percentage of deaths from wounds
and from all other causes is notably today than
the earlier stages of the war. and thanks to in
creasng experience and knowledge in conserving
life. is continually declining.
Authentic figures from France show that for
the six months ended December 81, 1916-one of
the most sanguinary periods of all the lighting
the actual losses Of the French in killed. missing
and prisoners were hardly more than and one
fourth per cent of the enlisted men. There are a
number Of peace-time industries which have a
much higher mortality rate than that One of the
leading life insurance companies of the United
insurance for the entire National army at an in
crease OF only FIVE per cent; and the Government
itself has projected a soldiers life insurance plan
whereby any man in the ranks can secure a thou
sand dollars worth of insurance for eight dollars
These figures, particularly those of the private
corporation, speak for themselves. Those cool
headed actuaries know what they are about. They
know that an insurance risk on a soldier at an in
crease of only five per cent in the premium cost
is a good risk from the purely business standpoint
When considers these facts and notes
further that the percentage of killed is less
than seven to the thousand, including the most
fiery reaches of the conflict, he must conclude I'M
less he is hopelessly hypochondrac, that the SOL
ders chance Of returning safely home is far greater
than OF not doing

PUTTING POOR 10 IN A SHOWCASE


There are still, as all know, quite lot of
Indians left in America, but many tribes are ex
tinct and many others have imbibed enough civili-
cation to change them completely. The Indian as
he was before he met the white man is practically
a thing of the past, and this fact is siginfied by
the completion in New York of a splendid museum
building to house his remains.
Museum of the American Indian, Heye Founda-
ton is the full name Of this institution, which is
lust moving into its palatial quarters near Broad
way and One Hundred and Fifty-ffth street The
Heye foundation has been in existence for some
years and has had number Of ethnologists and
archaeoogists in the field. Its method has been to
obtain collection first, and then erect building
The exhibit which it is placing in its new
home is probably the greatest collection Of relics
of the American Indian.
Not only North America, but Central and South
America and the West Indies included in the
studies conducted under the Heye foundation. One
of its field men, Mr. de BODY, has just returned
from the Virgin Islands and Santo Domingo with
vast amount of material bearing upon the
primitive inhabitants of that region.
1t is believed that this museum will at
tract an unusual amount of attention, for the In
dams unfailing source of interest to Ameri-
