The Clark Meetings

Evangelist Clark and wife O.
Kansas City Mo-, arrived in Circl
Monday evening from Glendive
where they had been since Wed
nesday but not able to get her
because of the storm and bat
roads.
The meetings are being held ii
the Anderson Hall, and the inter
est will increase from night tt
night as is already evidenced
Their services are something diff.
ferent. The music alone is worth
! going a long ways to enjoy, and
there is plenty of it. One thing is
sure everyone who attends the
meetings and cares to-, can learn to
sing for that is one thing the
evangelist gets them all to do
The singing begins promptly at $50.
There will be three services next
Sunday. 1890 a. m. Sunday
school and sermon on Cradles and
babies" A real live baby, a doll
and an old fashioned cradle is
wanted as object lessons for this
service. Every father, mother
and all the little folks should be
sure to hear this sermon.
At 3 o'clock prompt he will give
the first one of his great chautau-
qua lectures which will be free, on
"Barnacles" AT this service he will
sing a solo an arrangement from
the Lextette in Lucia.
The Sunday night sermon will
be on "What about the Bible?"
Monday night will be "Kids night"
and Tuesday Mothers Night.
The hour of 3 o'clock is set for
the lectures so as to give people
from other communities an oppor-
tunity to attend.
If roads are good people should
come for 80 miles around, and
even more. These Sunday after
noon lectures are what is often
given at chautauquas at an admis-
sion of so cents each; and the peo-
pie within reach, no matter what
church or. of no church, should
attend them. Come and bring all
the neighbors. All roads lead to

Circle Will Go
"Over The Top"

Circle will go "over the top" in
the third Liberty Loan drive. Its
quota is $8,0OO.OO, and final re-
suits will show considerably more.
Dawson counties quota was
$81, 900 and this was more than
doubled in the county. This is
truly a splendid showing for this
section that experienced crop
failure last year. But it displays
the true spirit of the residents of
this section, that they try to do all
in their power to help the "boys
over there"
The quota for the state of Mont
ana was 100000 and latest re-
ports say something like$15, 100000
has already been subscribed.
Owing to lack of space we are
unable to publish the list of bond
buyers this week.

Fire Protection Equip
ment Being Ordered

The members of the local volun
teer fire department. held a meet
ing in the village lookup last Fri
day evening and six new members
were added to the company
They are Murl Swazzie, Walter
Thoreson, Harold Grove, A. G.
White, Fritz Massar and Jack
Lowell. The boys also elected
John ]. Moriarty as assistant fore
man, and A. c. White treasurer,
The main purpose of the meet
ing was to get together and decide
upon what fire fighting equip
ment was wanted and to order
same at once.
After some discussion it was
finally decided to get at least two
40 or so gallon chemical engines,
a hook and ladder wagon, includ-
ing ladders, etc., and also fire
alarm. Secretary Eastburn was
then instructed to correspond with
two different companies and OBJ
tain definite price after which it
will be up to the board of trustees
of the local fire department to. O..
K. the order.
1t is expected that the equip
ment will cost in the neighbor-
hood of 81, 200 to $1,5O0. This will
be levied against the real property
of the townsite of Circle, thus all
paying their equal share in the
form of a fire tax.
With this equipment Circle will
have as good fire protection as
will be found in any town of its
equal size besides it is expected to
reduce the present fire insur-
ance rates from II to 20 percent.
This alone is quite an item to
most business men here.
The boys also decided to give
an annual Fireman's Ball to help
raise money for incidental expen-
ses, and the first one will be given
at the Princess Theatre on Satur-
day evening May 11th. Keep this
in mind.

charges, filed yesterday before
Judge Hurley of the district court

court by the county attorney.
Feeling against Wyman has been
high for some time on count of
his alleged pro-German aud sedi-
tious utterances. Some of his re-
cent official actions have aroused
the indignation of residents.
Wyman was a member of the
local draft board last year, but

Irving Cobb Is
Doing His ''Bit'

Irving Cobb, newspaperman,
war correspondent, magazine
writer, is doing his "bit" in the
dug-outs of the Y. M. C. A. near
est the American front lines over
there. He is employing his time
telling stories to soldiers under the
auspices Of the National War
Work Council of the Y. M. c. A.,
doing his part in keeping the NOR
ale of the American army at the
topmost point. He is undergoing
hardships, lodging into under
ground stations as shrapnal bursts,
and keeping a smile in the midst
of it all.
He is telling soldiers stories of
the south, stories of home, that
they want to hear, doing won
derful work and enjoying of it,
ten hours day more than he
ever worked before. He is ac-
quiring an intimate knowledge of
the American fighting man, anus
ing him in his leisure hours and
making life just little happier
for him. His is a cheerful, hope
full, encouraging message in the
midst of booming cannon and en-
inent death and reports from the
front that he is getting it over big.

To Save Your Sole
Follow This Advise

You can save money and hlt

ishing the soles of your shoes,
says R. R. Fenska, acting dean OF
the school of forestry of the State
University. "a half pint OF copal
varnish, not shellac varnish that
costs 25c and a 15c brush will be
all a person will require a year.
Shoe soles that have been varnish-
ed will last four or five times as
long as those left unvarnished.
They will also be absolutely water
proof.
THE varnish should not be put
on sole, but wear the shoe a day
or so first. Have the shoe per-
fectly dry when you apply the
varnish. Put on coat Of varnish
with the brush and let it soak in.
Repeat the process every half
hour until the soles refuse to take
more varnish. Then let the shoes
stand for 12 hours in a dry place..
There has been a method of
tanning discovered that makes a
sole leather that is practically
waterproof, but for obvious rea-
sons the shoe manufactures do
not recommend its use."

EUROPE INTERESTED IN
FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

The campaign for the fourth Lib
erty loan will begin September 2S
and close Oct. 10. The result of the
Joan will be watched not only by our
associates in war against the Teu-
tcnlc powers but by our enemies.
It will be regarded by them as :.
measure of the American peoples ;
support Of the war.
The Germans know full we'll the
tremendous weight and significance
of popular support of the war, Of
the people at home backing up the
army in the field. As the loan sue
ceeds our enemies will sorrow; as
it falls short they will rejoice. Every
dollar subscribed will help and en-
courage the American soldiers and
burt and depress the enemies OF
america
The loan VII be a test of the 10y
atty and willingness Of the people of
the United States to make sacrifices
compared with the willingness of our
soldiers to do their part. There
must be and will be no failure by
the people to measure up to thc eour-
age and devotion of our men in Eu-
rope. Many CT them have given up
their lives; shall we at home with
hold our money?
Shall we spare our dollars while
they spare not their very lives?

The enemy, they say, is down, and
there Is no reason for pounding a
PROSTATE form. 1t is time now to
think of coming TO an agreement
with our beaten foe for an honorable
ending Of the war.
Before God, it would be well If
those who put forth such reasonable
gloze were placed between a blank
wall and firing squad. Such coun-
sci is for prolongation of the war,
and adding to its cost in treasure,
blood and lives. Its purpose, con-
scious or unconscious, is to give the
enemy chance to get upon his feet
again and to renew the fight with re-
Cruited strength; and in our verv
hour of potential victory to imperil
our success and If possible to doom us
TO defeat.
SO far as America is concerned
this is only the beginning. We shall
have need of three, four, five times
the number of troops we now have
en- the line, and the more we speed
up, intensity and increase our Of
forts, the sooner the war will end
In conflict with an honorable foe the
old rules of chivalry might prevail.
A Grant at an Appomattox might
well say to a Lee, Keep your sword
and let your men keep their horses,
they will need them for spring plow-
ing" But when we fight foe that
knows no truth or honor, a foe that
violates treaties, ignores the laws Of
cations, outrages the precedents of
humanity and flaunts the everlasting
Will of God there is but one course
to pursue. When he is down, keep
him down and strike the swifter and
the harder until he is entirely slain.

science or honor or capacity for COW

EAT PERISHABLES AND

ut is essential that we build
Up in this country q reserve
supply of food as that the army be
guaranteed clothing, guns and am

ton.
Saving money alone will not
guarantee a food supply. Nature
seems tickle sometimes, and 1919
and 1920 may be lean years. There
fore, out of the abundance of 1918
america must have even more than
she saved of the 1917 crops, to feed
her growing army and navy and to
share with the armies and civilians
Of the allied nations too busy fighting
the Hun to cultivate their own crops.
1t is up to every citizen to help build
ur the national food reserve, and its
job each of us can work at three
times a day, Cut down your con-
sumption of the essential foods at
every meal, eat the perishables, help
speed up food production in every
way possible, and see that no food
goes to waste that can be canned,
dried or otherwise preserved. A hun
dred million of us, working together
in this way, will build up the great
reserve America needs. Join the

STIR YOUR TEA WELL,
Is NEW COMMANDMENT

Here are the new 10 command,
ments in sugar conservation gotten
cut by the food administration as q
Guide for sugar consumers:
/. Stir your tea, coffee or cocoa
well. Don't leave sugar in the bot
tom Of the cup.
2. Sweeten breakfast cereals with
honey, syrup, maple sugar, raislns
or dates.
3. Substitute molasses, maple sy-
rup or syrups made from sorghum
and corn, for part of sugar used ia
cooking.
Substitute syrups or honey TO-.
part cf the sugar in cake. One cup
of syrup or honey will take the place
CT one cup of sugar and one-fourtI
of a cup of liquid. In almost any
cake recipe the syrup or honey may
hc used for one-half of the sugar.
4. Make your cakes without the
frosting.
.. Use fresh, dierd or preserved
fruits for dessert in the place OF
made dishes" that required sugar
Bake apples or pears with a little
water for several hours, until a rich
syrup forms. If more sweetening
is desired add honey or molasses.
Cook dried prunes without sugar IN
the water in which they were soaked
until the liquid is almost boiled
away. If more liquid is wanted add
water to the syrup. The long, slow
cooking develops a rich flavor and
the addition of sugar is unnecessary.
6. Cut down the use of candies
and sweet drinks. They are luxuries
not necessities. Use fruits, nuts and
popcorn If you must eat between
meals. If you must eat candies,
choose only those made from no
sugar.
7. Preserve as much of your fruit
as you can by drying it in large
quantities.
S. Can fruit and fruit juice with
out sugar. This may be successfully
cone by the cold pack method They
may be made into jellies or syrups
as needed.
8. Limit the amount of jelly or
preserves used. These should be
limited to the needs of invalids and
children. They may be made as
needed from unsweetened canned
fruit and juices. Use the least pos
sible amount of sugar or syrup in
them.
10. Use no more than two or |
three tablespoonfuls day. This in
cludes all sugar used in cooking as
we'll as that used at the table. One |
tablespoon of sugar weighs one-half |
ounce, l cube weighs one-quarter
ounce, cube wegihs one-quarter
ounce, 1s level teaspoonfuls weighs
ounce, and be equal to
cube.
