RedWater Running Bank Full
Ice Nearly All Out

On account of the slow thaw
this spring it was expected that
old Redwater would not go on a
rampage but yesterday the water
commenced to raise and today is
running bank full.
Most of the ice has already gone
out in places. The mail which had
not arrived for couple days got
to the other side of Redwater last
night and was brought across to-
day in a new boat which was built
last week for emergency purposes,
the one built last year being frozen
in the ice so it could not be gotten
out this spring. The task of get
ting the mail across was quite a
difficult one owing to the swift
current. They say Messrs. Red
Fallon and P. C. Floyd were in the
boat going across and got mar
roned on an ice cake coming down
the creek for about an hour before
they were finally rescued by Albert
Harms.
The ice in the Yellowstone at

Two MCCune Bachelors
Return With Brides

Last Saturday while Ludwig
Christianson of McCune creek was
in town we noticed that he was
accompanied by a nice young lady
whom we did not know and we
became suspicious right away that
Ludyig had "done gone and got
married" Sure enough he had
and here's the whole story.
Mr.. Christianson went east last
January going to Finley, N. D.,
and other points on a presumed
visit" Later he went to St.Paul,
Mimi, to see a "lady friend" whose
name formerly was Miss Elise
Gabrolson, to whom he was mar
ried on March 9th, the wedding
taking place in St. Paul.
The Newly-weds left immedi-
ately for Montana and have taken
up housekeeping on their home
stead over on McCune.
Mr.. Christianson is a hard work
ing, ambitious young farmer and
has large circle of friends who
join with the Banner in extending
heartiest congratulations to the
Newly-weds.
Another young gentlemen from
over on McCune creek who has re-
turned home from a socalled visit
east" bringing back with him a
bride, is Everett Harbertson. The
young ladies name we have been
unable to obtain at this writing.
Mr.. Harbertson has spent the
winter back in Bloomfield, Nebr.,
the brides former home, and is
one of McCune's most enterprising
young farmers.
Here's wishing the Newly-weds
a long and happy welded life.

Boys And Girls Clubs
To Be Continued This Year Also

The Boys and Girls corn ano
wheat growing contests for Daw.
son county are to be continued
again this year along the same
lines as they were conducted last
year. There will be few changes
made in the rules governing the
contests, so that all those interested,
whether as leaders or as contest
ants, can begin to plan their work
early.
The value of the Boys and Girls
industrial contests can hardly be
over-emphasized for they train the
boys and the girls in the real duties
of life, so that they will later make
our best citizens. Besides, the
boys and girls by being trained be
producers are being trained thru
their clubs to cooperate. Where
there is a keen interest taken in
these contests by the boys and
girls of the country, life becomes
more interesting, the social and
moral conditions are improved,
and a wholesome rivalry among
the contestants is stimulated.
The boys and girls that are in
terested in the contest should talk
things over with their fathers and
get them interested for they can
help them by telling them where
the best piece of land is, what kind
of seed to plant, how to prepare
the ground and cultivate the fields,
and a lot of other things that are
of vital importance-things which
have been learned from years of
experience. When the fathers be-
come interested in the work of the
boys and the girls they become
keener students of their own pro-
blems, and by helping their child
rem they in reality help themselves.
When the boys and girls go into
the contest to win, it will not be
play farming, but real farming for
profit.
A list of the prizes cannot be
given at this time but they will
undoubtedly be sufficient to amply
repay the winners.
Where there are four or five
boys and girls in a given commun-
ity that are interested in the con-
test work, local leader (this may
be the school teacher or anybody
else who is interested in the work. |
should form a club. This will tend
to keep up interest in the work
md will school the boys and girls
n the principles of cooperation.
The local club leaders will be re-
'ponsible for the work in their To-
,alities. This will include the en-
'ollment of the contestants, the
ormation of local clubs, the max
ng of reports on the work, and

Entertain AT Christianson's S

A large number of the friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. o. A. Moxness
gathered at the home of Mrs. C.
M. Christianson last night to bid
the Moxness' farewell before
leaving our midst, for their new
home at Brockway, and also to
welcome Mr.. Harold Grove, the
new Cashier at the Circle State
Bank, who fills the position for
merly held by Mr.. Moxness.
The large crowd which was pre-
sent speaks well for the popularity
and respect which the Moxness'
have won during their stay in
Circle and it must be said that it is
with genuine regret that we see
them leave.
The evening was spent in a
most enjoyable manner, various
games were played, besides sew
eral beautiful piano selections by
Miss johnson and Mrs. Moxness.
At midnight splendid lunch was
served, F. S. Kalberg acting as
POSTMASTER and presented to the
departing couple a handsome din
ing room table which had been
purchased by friends here. After
this quite a number of those pre-
sent were called upon to say a few
words and many short, but elo-
quent, speeches were made.
The Mesdames Christianson and
Kalberg were the hostesses of the
party and it must be said they had
spared no pains to make it very
affair.
At one o'clock all departed for
their homes wishing Mr.. and Mrs.
Moxness unbounded success in
their new home-Brockway.

It isn't safe in Vienna to tell the other

himself thus to King Karl, whose reign
to date has been marked by the ruth
less swatting of precedents. Vienna
bristled with exclamation

Karl's informality in telephoning peo-
pie to whom he wants to talk. Hello,
this is KARL said the monarch in the
phone call that aroused the compilers
of books on court etiquette. He was
speaking to the minister Of finance in
all effort to find Count Tisza. Ell

have sent a command telegram, pre-

Tisza to report to headquarters. This
would have taken hours, but a phone

RAILROAD BUILDERS WANTED
FOR CONSTRUCTION IN EUROPE

ATLANTA. Ca. May S.-That the
call of the United States for nine regi-
ments of engineers and railroads work
ers to be sent Immediately to France is
an indication that the great allied gains
on the western front are going steadily
forward with every assurance of con-
inued gans, is the opinion expressed by
Atlanta members of the Engineer Off
GERS Reserve corps, of whom there are
cutie large number in Atlanta.
Major j. S. Sewell has come to At
lanta to recruit a regiment here, to be
drawn from Georgia and Alabama, and
already a number of young civil engi-
.neers see in this branch of the service
a most attractive opportunity for an
carly journey to France, for service
right up near the fighting front, and for
lucrative employment in that country
when the war is over and the period of
Rehabilitation begins.
The government wants civil engi-
neers for officers in the regiment.
wants railroad building foremen for
officers and wants
carpenters. mechanics, axmen, section
hands, and all kinds of laborers, who
have had experience in building and
maintaining railroads
These nine regiments will be sent to
France to build up and maintain the
rail lines for rushing supplies and
ammunition up to the fighting line. As
fast as gains are made, the supply
lines must be pushed up with the ad-
yancing armies, and delay in building
these lines has often halted the at

SPEAKING FOR
AMERICAN LABOR URGES
RUSSIA TO STAND FIRM

| WASHINGTON, D. c., May S?-A
plea against premature peace for
Russia and renewed assurances that
American wage-earners and the Ameri-
can people are in hearty sympathy
with the Russian democratic move
ment are included in a long cable
gram sent by President Samuel Com
pers. of the American Federation of
Labor, to the executive committee of
the Council of Workmen and Soldiers
Deputies at Petrograd.
Speaking for organized labor in
this country, Gompers also EXPRESSED
complete confidence in the purposes
and opinions of the American war mis-
sion soon to go to Russia. Although
he does not mention specifically the
recent attacks on Elihu Root, who will
head the mission, the labor leader de-
nounced as criminal and pro-German
any suggestion that the members will
seek to interfere in Russia's internal
affairs, or will give any advice, ex-
cept with the purpose of combating
the common enemy. Forcible anneXa-
tions are condemned but Mr. Gompers
pleads that every people affected by
the war should in the end be free to
choose their allegiance. Punitive in-I
IDENTITIES also are denounced, and hope
is expressed that leaders of the work
ing classe of the central empires will
cease plotting for an abortive peace,
and will bring a real peace yover-l
throwing the autocratcies of Hohen-
zollern and Hapsburg.
