ROMAN WOMEN'S CLUB

The Roman Women's club was
pleasantly entertained at the home of
Mrs. Wallace Pearson on Tuesday
evening.
AS this was the first day of the
Baby Week campaign throughout the
nation, the program was planned ac-
cordingly. Mrs. Inez Scheer gave a
very instructive talk on AILMENTS of
Children-the cause. effects and
cure"
The other talks and papers given
were all splendid and were as fol-
lows: "Infantile Paralysis" Mrs. w.
Pearson. Feeding of Children" !"
Mrs. e. d. Covell. "Care Of the
Growing Child's Teeth" Mrs. F. M.
Wilson.
A number of pamphlets and liter
ature pertaining to the health OF
children, the prevention OF disease
and the general welfare OF the
child had been procured from the
state board of health and from the
Children's bureau at Washington. D..
c.. and these were distributed among
the members dsiring them. Dainty
refreshments were served and the
club adjourned to meet with Mrs. F..
N. Wilson in two weeks.

GOVERNOR PANS MEN WHO
SH|RK NATIONAL DUTIES

gested that the conference go on
record to save grain and bread in
stead of allowing it to be used in the
manufacture of intoxicating liquor.
Alfred Atkinson of the agricultural
college, told the conference that this
country produced 25,O00,000 bushels
of grain, less than enough to support
our own people last year. 1t takes
he said, 65O,OOo,0OO bushels for the
United States. We lived on the sur
plus. The nation should raise 570,-
100000 bushels of spring wheat to
make up The estimated shortage in
winter wheat. Montana should raise
30,000,O00 bushels as against 49,
OOH, 90 bushels for 1916.
A man who in these days fought
cutworms successfully was of more
value to his country than if he car
ried rifle to the trench. 1t was
as patriotic to raise crop to sup
port the army as to be a member Of
the army. 1t was difficult to convince
the youngster with red blood that
this is so, but the educators should
try to do so.

FRESHMAN CLASS
ENTERTAINS SENIORS

Last Friday evening the Freshman
class of the high school gave a party
in honor of the Senior class. The
evening was spent in dancing. The
color scheme in the refreshments
carried out the class colors, old rose
and golden brown. A dainty lunch of
chocolate and rose colored ice cream
was served on table decorated
with bands of crepe paper of the
same colors. The Seniors all report
very enjoyable evening and say
that the "Freshies" surely know how
to entertain
The Senior defamation which was
to have been held on April 80, was
postponed until May 5th, as there is
no interscholastic meet at Missou|a
this year and we do not need to en-
ter the names of our winning con-
testants. We understand that the
interschOlastic meet was postponed
because of the war and their linn
tied finances. Alice Sheen will
speak in the Senior declamatory con-
test at Leon on May S, her piece be-
ing entitled "The Vaccinations of
Miss Madison" In the Junior con-
test Marie Bouchard won first, the
title of her piece being "The Last
Hymn" Dallas Vessey won second
place with her piece. "Unawares.'
Others taking part in the contest
were Alice Vessey, Margaret Sterling,
Nancy Mcleod, Edgar Mcconnell and
Genevieve Baldwin, all of Roman,
and Emily Stinger of Glacierview.
The winners in the Senior SPELL
ing contest were Gertrude Lemlre,

NEW ADDITION MEETS
WITH LOCAL FAVOR

Substantial expression of conf
dence in town lot values is mani
tested by the active sales Of the past
week, particularly in vacant resi-
eence sites over the town generally.
The most striking evidence of our
steady growth and the immediate
necessity of extensive building oper-
ations, say those in touch with the
situation, is the fact that there is
not a vacant residence in the town
and our hotel accommodations are
taxed to the limit to care for the
travelling public. Every available
shack in Roman has been converted
into temporary home. and there is
not a roof or room to be rented for
housekeeping purposes in the entire
city.
The services of all carpenters and
mechanics in the building trade are
at a premium and new structures are
being rushed to completion as fast
as can be done practically. A dozen
new residences could be advantage
cously leased before filling existing
demands for homes.

FOUR ANSWER
CALL To ARMS

News of the departure of four of
Romans popular young men Wednes-
day morning to join Uncle Sans navy
was the occasion of arousing no little
patriotic enthusiasm among the cit
izenry. The intention of the young
men was not disclosed until the eve
of their departure when the COM
mercial club and business men of
the city took the situation in hand
and requested the clubs live-wire
secretary, Lloyd l. Wallace, to
trumpet the call which gathers the
clans and arrange details of a fare
we'll ceremony.
The response was gratifying and
splendid manifestation of the es-
TEEN in which the young recruits are
held at home and was a fitting tri-
butte to the self-sacrificing spirit and
patriotism of the boys enlisting. The
volunteers are Phillip D. and Ben
jamin Hull, sons of Mr.. and Mrs. d.
long time past connected with the A.
M. Sterling Co. store, and Stephen
Copal, a young rancher These young
men have long been we'll known in
the local field of sports and popular
in the younger social life of THIS
community.
A luncheon was rendered the en-
broyo sailors at the Sterling hotel
which overtaxed the seating capac-
ity of the dining room and required
a double service. Patriotic decora
tions were the order and everywhere
appeared the Stars and Stripes and
red, white and blue bunting draped
the tables. Stanley Scearce acted as
spokesman for the Roman citizenry
in his usual graceful and satisfac-
tory manner. His address was
feeling tribute to the cause and high
purpose of the government in the
present critical struggle and force
full appreciation of the patriotism OF
the young recruits to the sea arm of
the United States government.
The officers of the commercial
club, delegation of teachers from
the local schools, committee of the
town council and mayor, and large
number of representatives accom-
panied the boys to Ravalli in decor
ated automobiles and sent them on
their way with cheers and patriotic
songs.
The Misses Edna and Matte Hull,
sisters of Phil and Ben, have vo]un-
teered to go as Red Cross nurses, but
the conditions governing their en-
tring this branch of service are so
exacting they may be prevented from
doing So Their intentions, however,
are what counts.
The management of the Roman OPP
era house gave a dance Tuesday night
after the picture show, in honor of
the boys leaving the next day. To-
gether with their many friends, the
Pioneer wishes them well, that they
may serve their country with honor
and return speedily in the same good
health and condition as when they
left.

KAL|SPELL URGES
LAND OPENING

The Kalispell Chamber of Com
lnerce is now after the opening of
every available acre of Flathead
lands, including the sparsely tim
',ered portion. Romans commercial
club in the past has advocated this
very same proposition so frequently
and with such insistency that aid
from the Kalispell section of the
state will be appreciated and it is
also hoped with more success than
this town has met in the past. There
is no good reason why all the vacant
lands of the Flathead should not be
opened to settlement and entry. To
have many thousands of acres of
land lying idle when such supreme
efforts are being made to have the
country produce all the grain possible
is a crying shame and the depart
n1ent of the interior should be and
will come in for much censure, if
the red tape methods so long in use
are allowed to longer delay the OPEN
ing of all the lands which have not
been allotted.
There is no desire on the part of
ANYBODY, nor for that matter, on the
part of any organization, to deprive
a. single ward of the government of
one acre of land, but at the same
time there seems to be no good
reason why the lands now vacant
and unallotted should not be made
available.
1t has been almost year since
congress passed the bill directing
that all timber on the Flathead sus-
ceptible of agricultural and hortl-
cultural development should be clas-
siied and appraised and made subject
to homestead entry, and still nothing
material has been done to accomplish
the aim and object in view when con-
gyess passed the bill. Instead, every
effort to homestead the land has met
with rejection and disbursement.
The Kalispell chamber of COM
,1,erce sent the following telegram to
Senator Myers and as the Bee says,
explains the situation exactly"
Hon. Henry l.. Myers,
Washington. D. c.,
# the government is really in earn

sloarsely timbered land. These lands
are lying idle and idle land is vic
ious. Hundreds of settlers are COM
ing into Montana and Flathead coun-
ty need more homes. This land would
be put into cultivation this spring.
Much of this land is rich and much
Of it is sparsely timbered and only
fit for grazing. This is no time for
hair-splitting propositions. The ur-
gent demands for food and the ur-
gent demands of the people for homes
should bring about practical So

lately. Idle lands and idle Indians

We appeal to you to get our people
