"l'MTHRUENZA" GERMS MAKE
APPEARANCE IN R.C. CHAPTS


With the cessation of hostilities the
Red Cross is called upon to combat
new epidemic, originating this time
within it's own ranks. The afhiction
is known as -thru-enza"
The initial symptom is sense of
lassitude-a feeling of whats the
use?" Steps are being taken to iso-
late the germ-also those who carry
it.
The epidemic is not widespread;
nevertheless an effort is being made
to stem it's advance.
"Cold Feet" is a marked symptom.
Another indication of the presence
of the germ is forgetfulness (that the
boys are still over there).
The victim, as a rule cannot con-
centrate the mind Con knitting).
The sight becomes impaired (can
not see to sew.
The ears become affected (can't
hear the appeals of hundreds of thou
sands of refugees who must be cloth
ed, fed and housed).
Heart doesn't beat as it used to,
and in advanced stage that organ ap-
parently turns to stone.
A vaccine, consisting of equal parts
of tincture of I-won't-quit and Red
Cross spirits, dash of patriotism
and a peck of pep, is effective.

of Buffalo Spring creek traded his
800 acre farm to H. B. Lee of

was valued at $4,000 in the trade.
Mr.. Kraklau and family expect

Hunting Season
Opens September Is

Open season for ducks, geese,
brant, swan, grouse, prairie chickens,
fool hens, sage hens, pheasants,
and partridges will begin this year
on September 18th, and those who
have any thot that the open sea-
Son for any of the birds mentioned
starts on September LIST, should
take another look at their hunting
license before starting for the
field to hunt. September Is falls
upon Sunday so those who may
have conscientious scruples of
hunting on Sunday will remain at
home until Monday morning Sept.
16, when they will be at liberty to
shoot their share.
Hunters should also bear in
mind that under the Montana
statue it is unlawful to carry a
gun unless they are in the posses
sion of the proper license therefor.

Business Men Help
Harvest And Thresh

| There is real scarcity of helI
this fall in this section, many far
mers finding it very difficult to
secure help. This seems to be the
case all over the country, and con-
sequently in many towns business
men have locked their places of
business, or at least let part of
their help go, to the harvest fields
and help out.
Circle also is doing her bit in
this respect. The past week many
of the local business men have
gone to the country and helped
out either in harvesting or thresh-
ing. The forepart of the week
no less than seven business men
were seen at work on the Puerner
threshing rig, and all are willing
to keep it up and do what they
can to help out. This is indeed
the proper spirit and a splendid
way to "back up the boys" who
are fighting for us "over there.
It's up to every one of us to get
out and help save the grain.
