DR.. Rumble of Billings
Locates Here

A brief mention was made last
week of the fact that DR.. B. S.
Rumble had arrived here and
would locate in Circle. Mr.. and
Mrs. Rumble came here from Bill
ings, having heard that there was
no doctor here, and if they find
our town and country satisfactory
are here with the intention of
staying.
We must consider ourselves in
deed fortunate in securing doc
tor to locate here, considering how
scarce doctors are now days.
Now let US do all we can to keep
Doctor and Mrs. Rumble with us,
and induce them to locate here
permanently. And we might add
that DIR. Rumble is a first class ply
;ician and comes highly recon-
nended. He will be located at
he Gladstone hotel for the present.

Circle High School Notes

The Circle School is taking
this opportunity to wish each Of
its many friends a Very Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year.
We feel that this is the greatest
Christmas since the first Christ
mas; the first time in the history
of Christianity that the prophecy
of the angels has been fulfilled
when they sang the refrain Peace
on Earth, Good Will TO Men,,
This is the first time in 25O0 years
that Jerusalem has been in the
hands OF Christian nation, with
the exception of eighty years
when the Crusaders held it, how
ever that was a period of strug-
gle.
Every one seems to have the
real Christmas spirit this year to
much greater extent than they
have had il before. This has been
accomplished by the things we
have been called upon to bear to-
gether to help in the world war.
Families have been drawn togeth-
err by the sacrifice they have made
in sending son, brother, husband
or sweetheart to the front-in
manv instances never to return.
Friends, neighbors and communi-
ties have been drawn together by
the groups of khaki-clad boys
they have cheered on their way.
Rich and poor have met as equals
in the Red Cross rooms, in the
camps aud on the battlefield.
Nations have been drawn togeth-
er and national misunderstanding
md predjudices have been wiped
out by the very fires of hell
So, let us as individuals allow
he lessons of these times. the
greatest period of all history, sink
leep into our hearts and cleanse
hem of all pettiness. selfishness,
ealousies and pfedjudices; that
We may be able to look our neigh

Don't let any one tell you that
the work of these seven organi- !

war is over. That's when their
greatest value will come.
Today every energy of your

when it comes. when the strain

then will come his reaction.
That's whe he will need most
the entertainment and divers

up his spirits in the inevitable

Don't forget that it will take

Housewife Is Put on Honor
Not to Use Sugar in
Needless Fashion

Harrisburg householders began
the use of sugar cards yesterday
when the ruling allowing house
holders to secure sugar in twenty
five-pound lots through the signing
of food certificates went into effect.
Five thousand of the certificates
were issued to grocers in the city
and county and $4,000 more will be
furnished on request.
While the canning season has not
yet started, the ruling will permit
householders to secure adequate
supplies of sugar when the canning
season begins in earnest. A number
of grocers reported applications
made for twenty ty-five-pound lots of
sugar yesterday.
1t was pointed out that the ruling
allowing twenty-five-pound pur-
chases for canning purposes does not
nullify the ruling limiting the pur-
chase of sugar for ordinary pur-
poses to five pounds in the city and
ten pounds in rural districts. This
ruling remains in effect.
Must Obey Rules
Energetic measures will be taken
to see that the ruling allowing
twenty-five-pound purchases for
canning is not abused. 1t is pointed
