Must Have License
To Use Explosives

As has been mentioned in the
Banner before it is now necessary
to procure a license in order to
use any explosives. These licenses
can be secured from the county
clerk and recorder at Glendive,
and we understand cost only 25c.
Therefore anyone in the coal
mining business and others using
explosives of any kind should not
fail to get a license at once as
there is big fine for failure to do so.
In the Circle district there is
quite a lot of explosives used for
coal mining purposes and it seems
that it should not be necessary to
have to 60 to the expense of going
to Glendive to get a license, be-
sides loosing lots of time, and it
seems as though the governor t
ought to appoint others also, in a
county as large as Dawson, so that
it would be more convenient to
procure the licenses.

The Need of Econ
omy and Saving

When we put a million and {
half soldiers in the field, we with
draw those men from productive
enterprises. They do not while
they are actually in training or il
service produce anything, They
do on the other hand, consume
much. There is nothing more ex
pensive On earth than to support
and maintain great army in the
field, especially if it is on the fight.
ing line. The attrition of supplies
and everything else is tremendous
ly great when we have fighting
army in the field.
America is the one great re-
naming storehouse in the world
of supplies and credit. We must
maintain and make effective as
possible our own soldiers and the
soldiers of those nations who are
fighting for us. We must there
fore draw as little as possible up
on our comman store of supplies
and money. The more we lessen
our domestic demand, the more
we can contribute to the support
and effectiveness of our allied ar
mics.
Economy is now a national duty,
such duty upon the people at
home as fighting is upon those
Americans who were bravely off
ering their lives for the honor of
America and the preservation of
liberty and justice.

caused a feeling of responsibility,
and that | have betrayed no con-

membership and that the club will
be an honor to its native land and
to the American ideal which it re-
presents.

War savings certificate plan.
During December, 1917, and

will be sold at $4 IL each, at post
offices, banks, trust companies
and many business houses and
factories throughout the country.
At the beginning of each succeed
month the cost of a stamp will in

Winter Has Arrived

After enjoying about six weeks
of real fine Montana fall weather
we now have winter. Tuesday
morning it . commenced to snow
and by Wednesday morning we
had about an inch of snow. Yes
terday we had some more, accom-
panied by a nice cool breeze from
the northwest.
Although the arrival of snow
makes one feel that a long winter
is in store for us, it nevertheless
is welcomed by farmers and stock
men, owing to the scarcity of wat
er this fall.

!. S. May Declare
War On Austria

Washington, Dec. 4.-Immedi
ate declaration of war. against
Austria-Hungary was recommend
ed to congress today by President
Wilson. The president did not
however, recommend adeclaration
of war against Turkey and Bull
garia at this time.
Immediate war against Austria,
the president told congress, was
necessary to meet the anomalous
situation the United States faces
in its war with Germany, even
though Austria was not her own
mistress and merely a vassal of
Germany.
The same logic, he said, would
lead to war against Turkey and
Bulgaria, but they do not yet, he
said, stand in the path of the Un-
tied States in its war against
Prussian autocracy.
In ringing, definite te~ns the
president declared that nothing
shall turn the United States aside
until the war is won and Germany
is beaten. All talk of peace he
pronounced out of the question.
Peace, the president declared,
could come only when the German
people make it through rulers the
world can trust; when they make
reparation for the destruction their
present rulers have wrought and
when Germany resedes from all
the territory acquired by army
conquest.

Geo. Hayes Writes
From Camp Mills

The following is part of an in
teresting letter from Geo. Hayes,
now at Camp Mills, received by
his folks short time ago. The
letter is dated Nov. 18th:
Dear folks: | arrived in Camp
Mills today and am feeling fine.
Will try and tell about our trip.
We left camp Lewis about 4 in the
afternoon and our first stop was
at Spokane, here the Red Cross
ladies gave us candy, apples, cigar
cites. etc. Went through the
mountains in the night. Next
stop was at Livingston, and the
ladies there treated us fine, also
stopped at Billings. From there
we went via Huntley and took the
c. B. & Q. We stopped and par
AIDED at Marion Ia. Got to Chi
cago in the night. All went to
bed just before we got to New
York City and when we woke up
we were on Long Island. | don't
know how we got on Long Island,
but we are here. They say there
is tunnel under the sound so |
suppose we came that way. Just
before we got to Harrisburg we
crossed the longest stone bridge
in the world across tine Susque-
hanna river. Crossed the Della
ware at Trenton, New Jersey.
"The camp at American Lake
was a fine one compared with this
one. Have no barracks here, all
live in tents, 8 men in each one.
5000 tents in all. All the men in
this regiment are from Montana.
Talk about aeroplanes, here can
look up anytime and see Is or 20
machines. 1t is about 6 miles to
the ocean from here and IL miles
to Brooklyn. Well / must close,

the present time will have until
December the 18th to enlist in the

Enlistments Over Four
Times Quota Asked

Montana is the only state in the
union that has raised more. than
four times its quota of enlistments
in the regular army.
Since the war was declared in
April until November 18, Montana
has given to the regular army,
3,049 men, more than four times
the quota of 752 assigned as its
war strength. Men are daily en-
listing from the state and the re-
cord of five times as many enlist
ed as asked for may yet be the
states wonderful record.
The heavy over-enlistment will
without doubt have the effect of
materially reducing the number
called from the state in the next
draft. No definite information as
to the quotas to be furnished by
the second draft call has been out
as yet. Until this information is
given out it can not be learned
definitely how the over-enlistment
will effect the draft call, but offic-
las believe it will cut it in half or
more.-Glendive Monitor.

Advice for Husbands.

Most words >f wisdom that fall from
the pens Of experts on the subject of
love are written for women. Appar-
emily these little sermons are written
with the idea that only mans love Is
worth keeping and that woman's cam
not possibly last.
We are told that man must never be
bored by trifung domesticities, but in
stead be enc, traged to talk about his
business, and 20 on. Why should 1t
be addressed one sex only?
Why not say to husbands: Remem-
Der that women are women aid that
their great need is for love. LoJs is
their vocation, the thing they do best,
their greatest need in life. Why should
the wife be expected to listen admir-
ingly to the husbands tale of roatlDg
of q commercial rival when he does
not show an equal courtesy when she
describes her experiences of thQ day?

Ing more than a small cake of wheat

the bride and half by the bridegroom,
as token that they were Joined to-

symbol Of everlasting love, is derived
from n heather source. The giving Of
an engagement ring also dates back
many centuries, for in the time Of the

So-foot "chasers," NILS they uie
called, is interesting. Each carries,
besides its deck gun, depth charge,

Of It's ten men.
The story of the lance bombs goes
like this: A British destroyer was
once nlaced In the embarrassing posi-
ton of having U-boat bob up righl
alongside. 1t was impossible TO oe-
nress the guns sufficiently to stra1e
the stranger, and there was nothing
else TO strafe him with. What nap
pened to the destroyer L can't say
but 1t must have got away to tell tiie
story. for each boat is now provided
with lance bombs for just such elnei-
pencies, says William Washburn Nut
ting in Collier Weekly.
The lance bomb is 14-pound con
tact bomb on the end Of six-foot nan
die, the idea being to use 1t at close
range by hurting it much as an ath-
lete throws the hammer. These are
implements loaded with awful possi-
bilIties in the hands of an amateur
and the surest road to unpopularity
with ones shipmates is to suggest
