Fred Malkuch, formerly known
as the "jolly bach" from down Red

about being a married man. This

getting married.
However here are details even

now residing on Fred's homestead.

Must Cut Out ''Speeding'

Since the automobiles have E.
merged, from their winters rest, it
seems so some of the chauffeurs
are prone to make up for lost time,
and take especial pride in seeing
how fast they can make their cars
go while on the streets of Circle.
This must absolutely be stopped
before some serious accident takes
place and word from the Sheriff's
office to "speeders" is "look out or
I'll get you," and is no josh either.
There is absolutely no call for
speeding within the city limits of
Circle. 1t is only a matter of rum
ming slow a distance of two to
three blocks in the heart of town
and then you may turn her wide
open if you wish. Not only are
grownups apt to get hurt but
there are many children. 1t must
and will be stopped. Let every
owner of a car bear this in mind.

Postpone Starting Of
Lumber Yard Two Months

Some time ago it was reported
by the Banner, that the Montana
Lumber Co. was to start a branch
yard here, and sure enough last
week H. D. Jones, representative
of the company arrived in Circle
to take charge of the local yard
and to get things started.
However owing to the busy rush
in farm work just now on account
of the late spring, it was found
quite difficult to get anyone to
haul the material out from Terry,
from which point the lumber will
be hauled, and the company de-
cided to postpone the establish
ment of the local yard for a couple
months until the busy season is
over.
The company also intends to
put in hardware store here and
will handle farm machinery.

Plant ReCOrd-Brcaking Crops
Your Country Needs Them

The world is short of food. A
national emergency exists.
Three things must be done to
assist the Government. The first
is to plant record breaking crops
for 1917. The second is to mobil-
ize farm labor, and the third is to
promptly provide every solvent
farmer with loans to buy seed and
employ labor.
Unless ample food supplies are
provided for at once, this country
will feel the pinch of hunger be-
fore twelve months are gone. 1t
is the patriotic duty of every farm
er to plant every available acre to
food crops.
This is a year, as we'll, of golden
opportunities. Whatever may
occur, prices will be high.
No fear of shortage of farm la
Dor should stand in the way of
heavy planting. The Government
and the people realize this danger.
Help will be provided.
Along with the food crops, the
meat supply must be increased.
Corn and forage crops must there
for be literally planted. Farmers
everywhere should save their fe-
male stock. If because of high
prices for feed, it appears necess-
ary to sell the farmer should first
call upon his local banker for ad-
vice.
In this crisis it is the duty of
bankers and business men to CO.
operate to the fullest extent with
the farmer. Every one must do
his bit. In the Northwest this
year the slogan should be.

NEEDS THEM!

Services Needed In Con-
sress, Instead Battlefield

Washington, D. c. April 23rsa!-
Representative Evans is needed
more in the halls of Congress than
on the battlefields of France, in
the judgment of President Wilson,
who has written the Montana
member praising him for his patri-
otic offer to enter the military
service of the government in the
war with Germany. Mobilization
of all the resources of the nation
is needed in this crisis, says the
President, and for that reason it
is Mr.. Evans duty 10 remain at
the post assigned to him by his
constituents.
1t has developed that before
writing to President Wilson volun-
teering to enter the army, Con-
gresham Evans called at the War
Department and offered himself
for military service. Meeting with
no encouragement there, he wrote
the President renewing his offer,
and stated that, being one of the
members Of the House who voted
for war, he could not conscien-
tiousIy ask others TO do what he
himself would not do. President
Wilson replied to this letter as
follows:
The White House, April 9, 1917.
My dear Mr.. Evans:
Your letter of April 9TH does
you great honor. lido not wonder
that you feel as you do, and yet |
want very earnestly to remind you
that we are engaged not merely
in creating an Army, but also in
mobilizing a nation to perform all
its functions at the highest pitch
of efficiency. Surely, in such cir
comstances it is just as much a
mans duty to stay at post such
as you have been assigned to by
your constituents as it is for a
man to volunteer for an army. |
take this view of it with the great
est confidence.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson.

World Flax Supply Short

Flax seed in the United States is
commanding an excellent price
with a permanence at least unit
after this years crop is harvested
and probably much longer, because
of the influence upon the market
balance of a definite shortage in
world production of flax in 1916.
Because flax normally yields
high returns as a cash crop on sod
breaking, and because it is possible
to mature a large crop of flax
when the crop is put in at a date
later than would do for spring
wheat, a considerable acreage is
annually planted to it in this local
ity and in fact generally through
out northern and eastern Montana.
On April IA the Duluth, Mimi,
quotation on flax was 1928 a bu-
shel, compared with $2.92 offered
on March 20, and $2.27 Offered on
March 20, 1916. So many great
industries depend upon flax that
there is scarcely any prospect that
demands will be materially ylessened
by reason of the fact that this ma
ton has entered a war the gravity
of which cannot be gagged at this
time.
The United States annually con-
sumes about 100000 bushels of
flax seed. In 1916 its total crop,
available for this seasons needs,
was 15,460,0O0 bushels. To meet
the domestic demand the United
States must import over thirteen
million bushels of flax from a
world supply that dropped from
an annual average for the preced-
ing five-year period of 114,611, ,616
bushels, to 64,32O,00O bushels in
1916, a decrease of a. per cent.
The northwest is looked to for
most of the domestic supply of
flax seed. Farmers who are look
ing for seed to plant this spring
will be informed as to where weed
free, disease-resistant seed Of a
specified variety well adapted to
Montana may be had, by writing
the Montana Experiment Station,
Bozeman, Montana.

Wolf Point Gets
Division Point

A short time ago a mention was
made in the Banner to the effect
that there was a possibility of
Wolf Point getting the new divi-
sion point on the main line of the
Great Northern since the 8 hour
law was passed. In the last issue
of the Wolf Point Herald we read
that it is now an assured fact and
that work has already been started.
A site consisting of "a acres has
been purchased, a roundhouse to
accommodate Is engines will be
built, also new passenger and
freight depots and a large company
hotel. Ten yard tracks will paral-
lei the main line, making about Is
miles of track.
Wolf Point is to be congratulated
for landing this "commercialplum"
Later-Since the above was
written we read in the News of
Glasgow that a report is current to
the effect that Wolf Point may not
get the division point and that in
stead of making the divisions
shorter they now aim to double
rack from Minot to Havre in
order to handle the tremendous
increase in business.

ELLIS & HOOD BUY
VALUABLE PROPERTY

The hardware firm of Ellis & Hood

in the block between Seventh and
Eighth streets on Main street, in
cluding all of the unoccupied proper
street to the telephone building, on
which it will probably, erect in the
course of the next year or two fire
proof structure for business purposes
This property has been owned by
the Chase estate for more than TWEEN
ty years; having been acquired by the
late Robert A. Chase on March 18th,
1898 as an investment and be-
queathed by him to his wife on his
death few years ago. 1t is among
the most desirable unimproved prop
erty on Main street and Mr.. Chase
is understood to have had an offer
of S11, 900 for it at one time, but re-
fused to sell it at that price. believ-
ing 1t to be worth considerably more
than that figure. Ellis & Hood are
reputed to have secured its owner
ship for sum much less than the
one just named.
| The lots have a frontage OF ninety
two fee to the alley. While no def
mite plans have been worked out by
Ellis & Hood for the improvement of
the property they are of the opinion
that the future of Canon City war
rants the erection of a modernly ap-
pointed building for commercial
uses. They are understood TO favor
a structure to cover the entire space;
two thirds of it to be devoted to an
up-to-date automobile garage and the
remainder for mercantile purposes.
If they build on the property they
will, probably, erect one-story brick
and steel structure; thirty-two feet
at the corner of Eighth and Main
streets to be used as hardware store
and sixty feet for a garage. The
| building. if erected. will be steam
heated thruout and as nearly fire.

would be admirably adapted for both
enterprises. both in location and in
conveniences it would offer for carry

place for their machines because of
its security from fire.
