Holsapple Seriously Hurt

James Holsapple of upper
Buffalo Spring creek met with a
painful accident last Friday. Mr..
Holsapple had hitched up a team
to buggy, as some of the folks
were going to town, when one of
the horses become frightened at
something and the team started to
run. Mr.. Holsapple had tied the
reins together and slipped them
over his neck while hitching up,
and thus when the horses started
to run he was caught in the reins
and dragged a short distance.
Mr.. Holsapple's neck was bruised
quite a bit and he also had one of
his ribs broken.
DR.. Koehler was called out to
dress the injured mans wounds
and is now recovering but rather
slowly. His many friends hope |
for a speedy recovery.

Help Build Up
The Circle School

You cannot build up a town by
leaving it, neither can you build
up school by leaving it. ALLOY
al citizens in this vicinity should
make a special effort TO send
their children to the Circle school.
Instruction will be given in all
the grades up to the tenth inclu-
sive, which includes two years
high school work.
Music will be given throughout
the entire course also military
drill will be given at least twice a
week. Any student desiring
further information regarding the
school work may write Mrs.

Farmers Shipping
Assn. Organized

Word from Glendive is to the
effect that a Farmers Shipping
Association for Dawson County
was organized at that place on
Wednesday of last week. The
association is being incorporated
for the sum of 100000 and
shares are being sold at $1,000
each, large percentage of the
stock already being subscribed.
The object of the association,
which is of cooperative nature,
is to market, sell and buy live
stock and other things that may
be shipped in carload lots by far
mers of this county. The associ-
alton we understand will be in
position to start doing business
in about a week.
There has been a great need for
such an organization in the
county and certainly will be of
great interest to farmers in this
locality. As this will be strictly a
cooperative concern, farmers will
get all that their cattle bring on
the market, with the exception of
a small percentage for expense of
handling. To share holders in the
association the cost will be less,
but non-members will be taxed |
but very little extra. By shipping
through this association farmers
will be able to ship but one, two
or six, eight head, whatever num-
Der he has to sell and all will go in
carload lots from points on the
railroad, at Glendive, ,Stipek, Terry
Saugus or whatever points are
decided upon.
A manager will be appointed to
look after the affairs of the asso-
citation but we have not heard yet
who he is. However any farmer
in this vicinity having a few head
of cattle to sell, will certainly find
it to his advantage to ship through
this association and should anyone
wish further information, same /
can no doubt be had by dropping {
a line to Mr.. Mendenhall at Glen {
dive. {

Infant Passes Away

About a month ago a pair OF
little twins, a boy and girl, were
born to Mr.. and Mrs.Jack Murphy
of McCune creek, but the little
boy William Daniel, has already
left them, having passed to its
heavenly home two weeks ago
yesterday.
The little one became i'll with an
attack of yellow jaundice and al
though medical aid was sought, it
proved of no avail.
Remains were laid to rest on
the farm.

: Mrs. Alice Elvin and son Austin
resigned their positions at the
Circle Mere. Co.'S store last week
and on Tuesday moved to Glen
dive. Mrs. Elvin has leased the
John Butler rooming house at
that place, and we understand
Austin will work in the postoffice
at Glendive. Their many Circle
friends regret very much toe see
them leave, but all hope to, see
them back to Circle again some
day.

Federal Aid
For Farmers

A brief mention was made in
this paper couple weeks ago
that an effort was being made to
get federal aid for the drought
stricken farmers of Montana, and
the movement is progressing nice
ly.
Gov. Stewart is now on his way
to Washington to take up the
matter, and Senator Walsh has
promised to do what he can to get
relief for the farmers so that they
can obtain money and continue
farming next year.
County .Agriculturist Menden-
hall has sent this office a number
of blanks to be filled in by farmers
needing federal aid and can be OBJ
tained by calling at this office.
These blanks are merely used to
obtain data as to how serious con-
ditions really are, so that the real
facts may be presented at Wash
ington. 1t is necessary that these
blanks be filled out at once.
Later-A news dispatch from
Washington in yesterdays papers
states that President Wilson has
set aside $5,OOO,OOO to aid the
drouth stricken districts. This
sum will be distributed to the
farmers through the federal land
banks.
THE primary object of the fund.-" says
statement issued by the department of
griculture SIS not to stimulate the plant
ng of an increased fall acreage of wheat
II rye in the severely drought-affected
reas, or even necessarily to secufe the
lanting of normal acreage, but rather to
ssist in tiding the farmers over the period
tress, to enable them to remain on their
arms under all conditions with view to
lcreasing the food supply of the nation
nd to add to the national security and de-
ense."
The loans, the department announced,
robably will not be made for more than
lree dollars an acre with maximums
100 or 80 acres. 1t is stated it is not
tented that the fund should be used as
ans to farmers who have banking collat-
al and can otherwise secure loans.
In connection with the above
e may also mention that the ap-
ortionment of this money will
epend upon the needs of the
fferent districts. Therefore it is
the utmost importance that
yery farmer who will need aid
| in one of the blanks, because
is on the data secured in this
Irvey, that the apportionment of
e money for Dawson county
i'll be made.

Ruling
Regarding Livestock

The United States Government
is in need Of every bushel oi
grain that can be raised at this
| time.
II has been called to our atten-
ton that under present conditions
the stock running al large in this
county are destroying grain by
breaking through fences into the
grain fields.
While we recognize also the
Importance of stock, and certain
difficulty in controlling them even
in ordinary times, we wish to i'm
press on all stockman that these
are no ordinary times and that
every man must exert himself
even to much inconvenience for
the common good of the country,
if he is to be considered good
citizen and ready to do his part
towards winning the war.
This is no time to stand on
technical rights, and it is wise to
look on both sides of the farming
and stock raising question. 1t is
want on disregard of the other
mans rights that brings on the
disasterous herd laws which put |
the stockmen out of business,
when such laws can be avoided |
by a decent regard for the rights !
of Others
Our Government has asked the
farmers to raise every bushel of
grain possible. Many farmers, of
farmers boys have been taken to
the front to fight in the trenches,
leaving the crops exposed with
out sufficient help to protect them
rom stock.
If these men can be taken TO
light for the protection of the
,ause of liberty and the conntry,
those left to enjoy the
ruits of their hardships can be
to work to the same end
It home.
The Dawson County Council Of
Defense expects every stockman
0 use every endeavor, no matter &
ow inconvenient, to protect the /
crops at this time when T
very bushel counts against the a
nemy. Everything should be c
one to create harmonious feel t
,g between the two interests, and V
y the action of the stockmen at n
MS time viii be judged their t
eadiness to stand for America. a

High Tribute For Walsh

Washington, July 31-(SpeciaD-
I "Mr. President, the Senator from
I Montana (Mr. Walsh is one of thu
$ ablest lawyers in the United
States, and, in my judgement, the
: ablest lawyer in this body"
5 These words by Senator Thomas
) of Colorda were spoken on the
floor of the United States senate
: during the consideration of water
power legislation in the first ses-
sion of the sixty-fourth Congress,
and are embodied in the Congress
sional Record. They were spoken
by a.great lawyer in the presence
of many of the most distinguished
lawyers in this country and
were heard with evident as
sent. They represent the settled
judgment of the senate of the I'm
tied States.
But this tribute, high praise
I that it is, is but a sample of many
that have been paid to Montana's
distinguished senator. The fore
most men in America have lauded
his ability. Senator Gallinger of
New Hampshire, republican lead
er of the senate, has said that he
is among the three ablest Senators.
Former Senator Root of New
York, Roosevelt's secretary of
state, has formerly acknowledged |
bis grasp of subjects involving in
ternational law. Senator Borah |
of Idaho has pronounced his legal
judgement conclusive. This
praise comes from reluctant re-
publican sources and it is not to
be gainsaid. 1t could be aug
mented by encomiums from in
numberable party colleagues and
from the President of the United
States.
The fact is recognized in Wash
ington that no western state ever
sent man to Congress who bulk
ed bigger than Senator Walsh.
He has brought recognition to :
Montana which it never received 4
before. He has given that state l
a part, and potential part, in the {
higher councils of the nation and 4
put it on the map in big nation
al way. Montana people who v
,ome to Washington and. learn
his at first hand are almost in {
surprised. While they P
nay have known in a general way d
hat Senator Walsh is regarded as L
IN able member of the senate, they 0
ire now prepared for the flatter- o
ng things which the national cap II
tai says of him. What they see d
nd hear for themselves gives G,
hem a new conception of his
-alue and importance to the state,
nd they return home with proud al
onviction that Montana chose far a. a.
1ore wisely than it knew when it D
ent him here in the highest re- O
resentative capacity. at

FRENCH SOLDIERS
 BRAVE IN DANGER The Women of France Back Up Men and Make Any Sacrifice to Aid
 Great Cause

It has been said that the French , soldier is tho best fighter In th, world. because hc has something that no other soldier has the wo. man of France
 Tho whole world has marvelcd at the quiet way the women of France has sacrificed her home, her hus- band, her children, her an for Che war and has como away empty hand ed. but with a smile on her lips.
 cone must go Co the Card dc Nord." said one recently returned from Paris. "to really understand Che spirit of thc French women. They go with their men to thc trains. There ls no weeping; every eye is dry. Mothers. sisters, daugh- tcrs swcethearts and wives put their men on tho train almost, 1T ono ob- serves them casually as nonchal- anuy as if they were going to work. And they arc. The train pulls slowly out and Che women stand on the platform watching. There arc forms, looking back and straining their eyes for Che last look. Then after Che train is gone the women return Co their homes, their faces lighted with what is almost a holy and religious cxaltation.
 This is the spirit of Che women Of France. One cannot understand it. One can only thrn to its beauty and bow ones head In awe at its simplicity.
 These are Che women Americans are asked to help. These are the ones - they who have sacrificed their an for the war, for whom Am orleans are asked to save wheat and SO keep from starvation.
 Arc they worth tho little extra time. or thought or care, that it takes for us to make whcatless breads and desserts?
 Arc their lives worth the wheat that our people can easily do with out? IT they have to go without bread. they will starve. But Amer jeans can go without any wheat bread ut an because they have other foods to replace their diet
 Much has been written Of the bravery of the French women dur ing this great war and of their self sacrifice toward aiding their men in every way and now tho same is ex- pcctcd of the American women, and it is a safe assertion that she will be just as brave, just as selt-sacri- Gcng as her French sister.

HIGHEST PEAK
 ON CONTINENT Alaska Boasts the Distinction of Possessing the Mountain Won
 der of America

SEATTLE. - Mount Mckinley National Park" will read a sign to be painted in tho not very distant future on station to be built on the railroad the United States gov- erumont Is building In Alaska. Once railroad communication is establish cd with this newest and probably widest national playground, hum dreds of tourists will visit the place. it is expected.
 The hand of man has done very little in the Mount Mckinley park. There are no hotels, very few trails, and only two or three ways of reach ing it. At present it can be reached overland from Fairbanks or by steamboat on tho rapid susitna river.
 The highest peak on the conti- nent Mount Mckinley, 2O,3OO feet, shoulders it's way skyward in the center of Che park. Glaciers of en- ormous bulk cover the south side of the mountain, while the north slope is dotted with lakes and forests in- hublted by great herds of bighorn sheep, moose, caribou and deer. The huge Alaska bear is also a native Co the park. The annual snowfall at some places on the south side of the park is sixty feet.
 Mount Mckinley park lies in thc heart of the almost impossible AL aska mountain range, which rises between tho interior and southwest ern coast. The park was established by congress February 2G, 1917, and covers an area of 2,2OO square miles. It ls the second largest Of the ma tlonal parks.
 The report of Che director of na- tionai parks says the park was es- tablished as a refuge and breeding ground for the conservation Of AL aska big game against tho inroads which may be expected upon the completion Of tho new Alaska rail road.
