Dies At Miles
Death Of Marcus Logan, Well Known
Rancher, Reveals Romance in
Real Life Never Spoken OF.

Marcus Logan, the we'll known
rancher from over on Duck creek
passed away at Miles City last
week. cause of death being kidney
trouble.
Although known as a popular
bach" here deceased left family
in Kansas Is years ago. The fol-
lowing account from the Miles
City Independent will be read with
interest in this section:
Marcus Logan came to eastern
Montana about ten years ago, To-
eating in Dawson county near
Circle. He was frequent visitor
to Miles City, attending the horse
sales and though dealing in live
stock and lands had accumulated
an estate estimated to be worth in
the neighborhood of $4,000.
Among his neighbors he was
known as an "old bachelor" and
this impression he did not attempt
to deny. even to the last not
speaking of any living relatives.
Upon the arrival of his nephew
it was learned that for the past
fifteen years or more there has
been a continual search for Mar
Gus Logan. That the man had a
wife and four children at Hutch
inson, Kansas whom he left there
so many years ago. No explana-
ton could be given why he had
left home. He was in business
there, doing well, and at his de-
parture the oldest son continued
the business. All effort to locate
the husband and father were of
no avail and he was long since
given up for dead.
The family has been notified
and the son is expected shortly to
assume charge of the estate. Mr..
Logan left for Glendive yesterday
to investigate what condition the
dead mans property was in and
10 learn more of his affairs"

Walter HI. Roth
Loses Right Arm

Some time ago mention was
made in the Banner that Walter
H. Roth had been knocked off a
freight train and severely injuring
his right arm. We now learn hat
he had the misfortune of losing
his arm, and is just out of the
hospital at Glendive.
Mr.. Roth is we'll known here in
Circle being formerly employed at
this office. When Mr.. Roth left
here last September he went to
work as brakeman on the N. P.
out of Mandan, N. Dak., and one
night in November while climbing
onto a box car while working, got
caught by on open wing at cat
tie chute with the above results.
Mr.. Roth was first class print
~ but with the loss of his right
arm he will now be unable to fol-
low up this trade. 1t is indeed
with deep regret that we hear of
the sad news, and it will no doubt
be sad news to Walters many
Circle friends tA hear of his mis-
fortune.

Business Men
Talk Railroad
Another Commercial Club Meeting
Called For Monday Evening.
Your Presence Requested.

A special meeting of the Circle
Commercial Club was held at the
Gladstone Hotel last night for the
purpose of again taking up the
subject of getting the railroad
built here.
Quite few were in attendance
but no definite plan was decided
npon. However it is planned to
take up the proposition direct
with the government and try show
them thai it is to their own inter-
ests to have this extension built if
they expect the farmers of this
vast inland empire TO raise wheat
which is needed to win the war.
The sentiment seems to be that
prospects for a railroad this year
are better than ever since the
government has taken over the
management of the railroads, and
it is now up to us to get busy.
Another meeting will be held next
Monday evening and everyone
interested is urgently requested
to be present. Let everyone put
his shoulder to the wheel and
boost. We need the railroad aud
by all pulling together we may be
able to get it this year. Are you
on, or will you sit by ard let the
other fellow do it?

War Savings

War Savings Stamps mark ar
epoch in our national life." Sec
retary of the Treasury McAdoo.
Many of the successful business
man has said that the saving OF
his first dollar was the most i'm
portant single act of his life; that
it marked the beginning of a habit
and course of conduct to which
he attributed his success.
Something very analogous to
this, it is believed, is going to be
the effect on the American Nation
of the War Savings campaign.
Not only are millions of individ-
ual citizens going to begin to save,
but this habit of economy and saw
ing is going to be a collective
movement, a movement not of in
dividuals alone but of the Nation.
The habit of saving formed now
has deeper incentive than ordin-
ary. We are saving now not alone
for selfish reasons, we are saving
now from patriotism, saving not
for ourselves but for our country.
The combination of patriotism and
thrift is,ineed going to make the
War Savings campaign an epoch
in our national life. 1t is not only
going to be a thing of tremendous
benefit to millions of citizens, it is
going to be a thing tremendous
advantage to the Nation as a
whole, and affect our whole nat
onal life. 1t marks the beginning
Of a new era in American life, an
era of economy, good sense, and
patriotism.

The public should keep on ask

Administration is making certain
requests because their interest will

Why Corn Meal Cannot
Be Used In France

Perhaps no one question il
more often asked than this, "Why
can't the French use corn meal as
well as WEI"
This is particularly true in Mon.
tana, where corn meal has figured
less in the market and in popular
use than in other sections of the
country; and where it is thought
of as a food brought from dis
ltancc.
The question is an interesting
one and deserves attention because
it implies that the speaker has
reached a stage of thinking about
the war and his relation to it. 1t
is said advisely because the men
are not so willing to accept new
dishes as the woman. They con-
duct their experiments by day in
other lines than food and perfer to
eat in regular fashion at home at
night.
A great step in advance has
been made toward winning the
war if we can really get people to
think about the war and their re-
lation to it.
There are several excellent rea-
sons why the United States does
not send corn to France. In the
first place, because of the charac-
ter of the meal. The large amount
of fat in corn meal contributes to
its food value but also detracts
from its keeping qualities. The
fat is likely to grow rancid in the
passage. Second, the United
States does not send the whole
corn as France has no mills where
with to grind it. Third, the French
for years have not done the bak-
ng at home and so they have no
household equipment for that kind
If work.
1t takes a little imagination for
he American housewife to realize
what a difficult undertaking it |
would be in the midst of the war

upset of every kind of relationship
