County Division
Is Advocated
Residents Of Eastern Fergus And
Western DawsOnPetitionin For
Division. Winnett And Grass
Range Want County Seat.

Reports from the west are to
the effect that a campaign is now
under way advocating county di-
vision, the new county to be form
ed from eastern Fergus and west
ern Dawson. Petitions are already
being circulated and the fight for
county seat, in case the new coun-
ty is created, will no doubt be be-
tween Winnett and Grass Range.
Just how far east into Dawson
county the new county contem-
plated will come we have not
heard at this writing. We ina
gine Jordan folks will have some
thing to say regarding this before
it is over with. The outcome will
be watched with interest.

Hard-Time Entertainment

The local Red Cross auxiliary
will give a hard time entertain
ment at the new school basement
on Friday evening Feb. 9th, the
proceeds of which will go to the
Red Cross.
A hard time entertainment is
rather appropriate at the present
time and there's no question but
that there will be a good attend
ance. Remember this will be
strictly hard time doings and you
are forbidden to "doll-up'', in fact
you will be fined for wearing jew
elry and any of your best clothes.
There will be entertainments of
various kinds and those who wish
may trip the light fantastic. A
light lunch will be served at mid
night, and don't forget to be there.

Honored---In Berlin

Under the heading Wilson's
Fight Against the American Peo-
pie, the Berlin Tageblatt gives
Senator Gronna honorable men,
ton.
No one is surprised that the
kaiser's press eulogizes the man
who has grossly misrepresented
the spirit of North Dakota.
Here is the German eulogy of
North Dakota's junior senator:
Besides the Socialists and the
| w. W., many organizations re-
presenting the farmers and labor
ing classes that are opposed to
Wilson's war policy have come in
to existence since the outbreak of
the war. II is the ever grow
ing anti-war feeling throughout
the United States that forces men
such as Senators Stone. Hardwick
and Gronna into line with men
like Hearst and La Toilette
Bismarck Tribune.

Will Furnish Seed
At Actual Cost
BUT FARMERS Who WISH To
Buy FROM FEDERAL GOVERN
MENT MUST PAY CASH.

Bozemen, Jan. 15.-The Unitet
States government will purchase
thru money appropriated by con
gress, approximately one millior
dollars worth of seed, to be he'll
until spring, when it will be solt
for cash to farmers of Montana
North Dakota and Texas, accord
ing to a statement made here BY
Professor F. S. Cooley of the Mont
ana state college, who has return.
ed from a conference at Washing
ton of representatives of states af-
fected by drouth last season. He
said:
"The seed will be sold at cost,
for cash, to those who require it.
1t will be seen that this govern.
ment seed supply does not con-
template the financing of seed
purchased by farmers. 1t will,
however, save the profits charged
by dealers and the freight out and
back on seed kept within the state
1t should be distinctly understood
that this is to. be sold for cash, and
that purchasers will have to fin
ance their seed buying without
federal aid"
Previous reports, Professor Cool
ey said, had been to the effect
that the government would ad-
vance the money to purchase the
seed to the farmers, who would
repay it out of the returns from
next seasons crops. ~

Social Big Success

The first public doings at Circles
fine new school basement, which
was in the form of a basket socia
and get-together meeting, given
last Friday evening was a most
decided success in every way.
A short program consisting OF
local talent was rendered, the first
of which was a beautiful solo by
little Grace McClatchie. The
Mesdames Jensen and Daily sang
a duet which received a hearty
applause and Mrs. Jensen then
sang a Norwegian song as encore.
Eastburn, also favored the audience
with a fine solo.
The real hit of the evening was
a patriotic song sung by Hennessey,
Espeseth, Chase and Swazzie, foil
owed by an encore entitled ITS
a hard, hard job to build a rail
road" sung to the tune of Tippe-
rary which received a roaring ap-
plause. This encore was compoS-
ed by Mr.. Hennessey and applied
to the several attempts that have
been made to get that railroad,
and made a real hit. Interesting
talks were made by Messrs. Rorvik,
Koeher, Kalberg and McClatchie,
and Mrs. Stephens also spoke a
few words on War Savings Stamps.
Then came the sale of baskets
which was done in very able
by Mr.. McClatchie and he
talked some of the boys
into paying SIS for some of the
baskets. The total receipts were
S153.00. Proceeds were to pay
for the school piano which was
S85 and balance will be used for
buying pictures and ETC., for the
school rooms.

Big Equity Meeting

CONGRESS AT GREAT FALLS

The local Equity will hold a big
meeting here tomorrow for the
purpose of electing one or two
delegates to attend the big Coop.
lerators' Congress at Great Falls
Ion Feb. 18th.
The Great Falls meeting will with
out a question be the biggest far
mer meeting ever held in the state
of Montana, and many prominent
speakers will be present. Dele
gates are being sent from all sec
tions of the state and we are glad
to hear that a meeting is being
called to consider sending some
one from Circle.
To consider ways and means of
increased food production is one
of the main objects of this Con-
gress and it seems that this would
be good opportunity for dele
gates from here to present the
need of a railroad in this section,
and show what could be done here
if we had railway transportation.
The matter could be taken up
with Gov. Stewart and also Carl
Vrooman, asst. Secretary of Ag-
riculture Of the United States,
who will be there. If these
gentlemen could be interested
there is no question but what they
could bring it up before the pro-
per authorities in Washington
and perhaps something could be
accomplished.

Circle Had Real
Fire Monday
0yerheated Stove Pipe Starts Blaze
In Miller Feed Barn But Dis
covered In Time To Save Barn.
Fine Work By Fire Department

Circle had real fire scare last
Monday afternoon about 3 o'clock
when the Miller Feed barn was
discovered to be on fire. When
discovered the fire had gotten
a pretty fair start, but with the
prompt response of the local fire
department, which consisted of
every man in town, the barn was
saved.
The fire had started from an
overheated stove pipe upstairs in
the barn and before it was discov-
cred a large portion of the roof
was a blaze. However with the
use of several small fire extin-
guishers the fire was gotten
pretty we'll under control and by
that time ladders had been pro-
cured and some of the bravest
had gotten up on the roof and
with the use of lots of water,
which fortunately was to be had
right by the barn, it was finally
put out, and without any serious
damage done to the barn. Damag-
es will perhaps amount to $3.50.
At first it was thought to be a
hopeless case owing to the height
of the barn, but the small chemi-
cal fire extinguishers done some
excellent work. Fortunately
there happened to be no wind at
the time, which certainly was a
God send or the fine new barn
would surely have been reduced
to ashes in a short while.

SI6O Worth w. S. S.
Sold At Local Office

The sale of Thrift Stamps and
War Savings Certificates at the
local post office has amounted to
$16008 to date.
This means that that amount of
money has gone from Circle 10
help win the war, but it means a
lot more than that. Most of this
money would not have been saw
ed by the purchasers of the
Thrift Stamps in any other man.
ner so they are as much ahead as
they have loaned to the country
Some of this money was laying in
little tin banks, withdrawn from
circulation while now it is helping
to outfit an army and drawing a
gobd rate of interest for the hold
cr of the War Savings Certificate.
War Savings Certificate is
government bond and you can
buy them, twenty five cents worth

Redwater Holds Big
Railroad Meeting

A letter to the Editor from
Chas. Lambie at Redwater informs
that big railroad meeting was
held at that place last Friday eve
ming and that much interest was
shown in the proposition of trying
to get the railroad this year.
They also decided to send a dele
gate and E. E. Lewis was elected
as their representative to go with
the delegation to Washington.
The Redwater people are very
enthusiastic over the prospects
and wish to get the entire terri
ory organized and the delegation
started for Washington at the
earliest possible date.
AS we go to press this week the
local railroad committee have
still no word from Washington,
nor from the Jordan country.
This delay is no doubt due how
ever, to the congestion of traffic
in the east but will likely hear
most any day. Mail service to
Jordan also ofcourse is not very
fast this time of the year, especial
ly under present weather condi-
tions.

CALVIN IS HOME
WITH DISCHARGE

After just a year and a day in SER
vice, E. Denzil Calvin returned Tues
day from Camp Morrison, Va, with
his discharge papers. Although he had
spent most of the past three months
in the hospital i'll with influenza, pneu-
monia and the after effects, he looked
in fine health now and says that after
short rest he will resume work in the
Dyer store.
Calvin, who was in the balloon ser
vice as chauffeur for the transporta-
ton of supplies had just reached the
Virginia camp, which was a port of
embarkation, when he was taken i'll
last fall, and had to remain in bed
while he saw his comrades leave for
France. He felt greatly grieved that
he had been unable to accompany
them, and almost sorry" that the war
was over for he had set his heart on
getting to France. Owing to his illness
he secured transfer from the company
to a detachment and thus expedited
his discharge. In all his service he had
been unable to get a furlough, his re-
turn now being the first visit he has
paid his home friends here.

HUNTLEY SEES
PARIS CELEBRATE

One OF the many interesting letters
from the boys telling of the way in
which peace news was received on the
other side of the water is a short
message from Milton M. Huntley,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Huntley of
South Main street. Huntley, who is in
a Red Cross Military Hospital, writes
as follows from Paris:
1T hardly seems possible that the
terrible struggle is over, but it is, and
such relief The only thing now is,
when are we going to get back home?
IL noticed tonight that there was
some celebration in New York, but
don't think it could compare with the
one in Paris, naturally it should not.
These people having had to face the
struggle for over four years, and to
have it end as suddenly as it did, they
simply gave way and believe me they
celebrated, They just seemed to go
wild. Everything was open and the lid
was off. Crowds? / believe there were
millions all just shouting themselves
hoarSe. Bells were ringing, sirens shrek
ing, and whistles blowing. The guns at
Place de Concorde were booming every
minute, as well as those that have
been the defense of Paris during the
war. Those at Place de Concorde were
mostly captured guns, but made their
share of the noise all the same. 1t was
great place and wouldn't have miss
ed it for anything, but l can give you
more detailed account when l arrive
at III Main.
"a rather funny thing happened, but
pleasing to me, was when in all this
crowd on avenue d. Opera whom
should l bump into but Phil Condit.
(Midd 'l6) Of course there was a lot
of excitement there but we stopped
long enough to have a litc!e chat"

after which it would be entirely option
al with students whether they would

tunity is one which Dr. Collins be-
lieves will be taken advantage of by
many OF the returning students, for
the training which many men have
received in the ranks or in the S. A. T.
c, has impressed them as worth con-
tinuing, There seems little doubt that
at least 100 men will be enrolled in the

reading OF over eight hundred Latin
hymns, psalms and canticles, treated in
order
The study is pursued in a purely his

historical research She dedicates the
