The people of Valley county have

Gaining. upon the people to contribute
O.! their labor, material or money in
giving an impetus to the movement.
IN these wartime days when the
1relght rates and passenger fares are
continually mounting. the public
turns its attention to better roads.
With good highways it is possible to
use trucks and autos for the fractions
mes and for the carrying Of freight
which may become congested because
of the lack of rolling stock on the rail-
roads.
On that account any movement
looking toward the improvement of
the present highways or the construc-
ton of new roads, is watched eagerly
by the public.
calls on Public.
Following is the proclamation:
"The measure of progressiveness of
a people is proclaimed by the condi-
ton lin which their highways are
maintained. There can be little prog
ress worth the name unless these vital
arteries of transportation and COM
munlcatlon have systematic scientific
attention. The people must have the
facilities that can be afforded only
by a system of roads reaching into
every community and offering the in
habitants quick and comfortable access
to all parts of the commonwealth.

IRENE Importance of improved roads
and is each year adding to her mile.
age of real highways. But a perfect
system is not to be established over
night in a state of such great dis
tances as Montana, and much re-
mains to be done before the people
will be satisfied that the goal has
been reached.
Therefore, l, S. V. Stewart, as
governor of the state of Montana, do
hereby designate Tuesday, the 18th
day of June, 1918, as Good Roads day
in this state.
"And, in keeping with the provi-
sions of the statute, l call upon the
people of the state to contribute on
that day of their labor, their material,
or their money, to the end that the
day may be fttingly observed and the
good roads movement be given an i'm
petus that will be of vast benefit.
"In witness whereof, / have here
unto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the state to be affixed.

In other words, the original nucleus
created by the state fair will multi

The American association of fairs

that follows in the wake of every
thrift stamp, would eventually expand
into two or three million dollars.

MEMORIAL DAY IN FRANCE.

On the thirtieth of May, when we
hear the muffled d~rum-beats, and the
thoughts and the steps of our people
are turned toward the quiet Gods
Acres of the homeland and the rest
ing places of our dead of other wars,
we shall think what their lives and the
offering they made of them meant
for u and our country, and We shall
also think earnestly and %anxiously, as
We do every day, of the boys now
making the same offering and taking
greater risks on the hattlefields of
France and Flanders. There will be
many a sorrow, many a tear for the
newer graves of our heroes so far
from home.
A forest of wooden crosses rises
above the low green tents where
sleep the immortals of the Marine of
Verdun, and of a hundred other hard
fought battles. Whether the cross
bears "Ici Repos" or "R. /. P.," the
meaning is the same-here rests a
valiant spirit who fought CALAMITY
and died bravely in the firm faith of
the Righteousness of his cause.
And now the graves Of some of our
Owl and our best, the boys who left US
with smiling faces to brave the perils
of sea and land and air, are being
made in "Fame's eternal camping
ground" in France. Life was sweet
and full Of hope to them, but while
they were still looking into the glow
morning, shadows gathered and
leepened over the land which it was
their desire and their duty to protect
and defend, and they answered the
:all. The little crosses are being

II. PAT O'BRIEN.
DESCRIBES HIS
LUCKY ESCAPE
Daring British Aviator Tells
Capacity Audience at Ma
tional Of Experiences.

Smiling" Pat o'Brien, OF the Brit.
ish royal fiying corps, told an army,
navy and society audience at the
National Theater yesterday after
noon the story OF his marvellous es-
cape from a prison camp in Ger
many-one OF the most remarkable
chapters in the history OF the great
war.
The audience. which packed the
theater to ''standlng-room- monty" ca
pacity. was sprinkled thickly through
out with army and navy officers.
particularly of the flying corps OF
both branches of the American serv-
ice. A large delegation Of Daugh-
ters Of the American Revolution also
attended.
Pat O'Brien's story held his au.
dience spellbound throughout the en-
tire recital. While flying above the
German lines, he was rendered un-
conscious by a bullet and his plane
fell. out OF control, behind the en-
emy front. He had a wonderful
escape from death. and was being
transported to German prison camp
when he made daring bolt for lib
erty by leaping from a train in the
darkness of night.
Before the train could be stopped,
oBrien had got a start on his pur-
suers. He managed to get a Ger
man uniform which he put on over
his own uniform, and then followed
heart-breaking flight through Ger
many, Luxembourg and Belgium, un-
ill he dug his way under an cleo
trified fence in Holland, where he
found liberty.
Pat" O'Brien's flight covered go
miles. which he made in seventy-two
days, partly without even his Ger
man uniform disguise. He did all
his travelling by night and subsist-
ed on raw food nearly the whole
time.
His story has been told In a book
written by himself and Just pub
lished by Harper and Brothers, New
York. "outwitting the Hun" is the
title Of Smiling Pats" book. This
long-limbed. hawk-faced daredevil
son of Chicago couldn't be kept out
OF the war" the publishers Of the
book said in their announcement.
The story OF how he got into It,
as told in 'Outwitting the Hum is
very amusing, but his life as a pris-
oner in a German camp is not. He
had an experience which has prob
ably not been paralleIed by any other
aviator"
