Poof. R, S. Trumbull arrived
in Roy Wednesday and is helping
with the marketing of the last
year bean crop and looking up
the cause for so many farm sales.
He suggests suppressing Casey
as one remedy. Mr.. Trumbullis is
in a position to enjoy the joke on
Gov. Lindsey when he solemnly
declared as a reason for conven-
ing the extra session Of the Leg
islature that New Mexico pro-
duced but 40 percent of her con-
sumption; while the cattle mems
Convention at Las Vegas boast
that we produce more than four
times what we consume, which
is the truth. Even the Governor
was slow to realize what New
Mexico farmers are doing.

since coming here who will all
hope for his speedy and complete
recovery.

Auto Fatality

Elmer Neal was called to Las
Vegas Saturday by wire an
nouncing the death of his uncle,
who was here last week visiting
him, in an auto accident near Las
Vegas, He and R. G. Grunig
got a car and started immediatly
for the scene of the disaster
which was reported as follows in
the Las Vegas Optic
Howard B. Connolly was al
: most instantly killed in an auto
mobile accident last night and
the driver of the machine Frank
Smith, of Roy, suffered a broken
wrist. The party composed Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Connolly and dau-
ghter, Miss Foryst, and Frank
Smith were on their way from
Fort Sumner where the Connel-
ly's formerly lived, to Roy where
they had made arrangement to
make their home. While round
ing a curve in the road near Ro-
meroville the driver of the car
changed gears, it is thought, and
far a moment lost control of the
machine. The car followed the
the edge of the grade for a time
and partly due to a large amount
of baggage strapped on the side
became overbalanced and toppled
over into the ditch.
Mrs. Connolly and her dalgh-
ter, who occupied the rear seat
were uninjured, the daughter
being thrown from the car when
it turned over but Mrs. Connolly
remained pinned under the ma
chine. Mr.. Connolly, it is said
lived but five minutes after the
accident. The daughter who was
beside him said he inquired as to |
whether anyone was injured.
C. C. Passmore was the firt to
arrive at the scene of the acci-
dent. Passmore brought the body |
of Mr.. Connolly and the remain
der of the party to Las Vegas.
Theremains of Mr.. Connolly, |
who was 46 years old were taken
to Hicksville, Ohio, his former
home, for burial. Mr.. Neal re-
tnrned Monday morning bringing
the car and other effects which
with the team and other property
already here he will dispose of.
The wife and daughter will re-
main in Ohio. Roy thus loses a
most desirable citizen and joins in
the general regret.

1t affords us much relief 10
learn from Guthrie Smith, in
charge of the State War Publicity
at Santa Fe, that in the near fu-
ture all the propaganda of all the
departments will be sent only to
the State Publiti,ts who will
choose from It what is suitable
for the rural weeklypress. This

tons of waste matter, relieve
the local editors of the task Of
wading thru useless columns of
stuff for the kernel or missing it

Farm Less and Better

Well meaning but misguided
boosters are beginning to clamor
for the planting of a larger acre
age than ever this season, The
experience of last year ought to
prompt a more practical plan.
Many a patriot is out of the busi-
ness of farming this summer
simply because he tried his d-dst
to do as the booster ordered last
year. He planted all the acres he
could and then fell down because
he could not possibly cultivate it
all and the weeds took his crop.
He had to make desperate sacri-
fices to pay for the seed he had
wasted in trying to do what the
promoters told him to do.
The man who planted a hundred
acres and lost it all in the weeds
could have planted forty acres
and tended it right and had a
crop. is not more acres we neen
but fewer acres and better cult
Beans and weeds can't
grow in the same field and the
nan who plants 10 acres and
cares for it is doing more than he
who plants a hundred acres and
lnsuccessfully fights weeds. |

The trial in the Federal Court
at Santa Fe, last week, which
called ten Roy and Solano men as
witnesses, resulted in the defeat
of the claims of N. N. Durrett to
his homestead. He was amoung
the pioneer homesteaders of this
community, had made proof on
claim, had his patent and has
paid taxes on it for some years.
This case should Impress on the
minds of those who have not
made proof the necessity of
keeping a record of their doings
and not depend on making proof
from memory, which is always
getting people in bad. In his
decision Judge Neblett expressed
sincere sympathy for Mr.. Durrett
but said the strict administration
Of the law demanded a verdict
against him.
We are quite sure that Mr..
Durrett will be given a prefer
snce right to refile this land and
will yet be able to possess it
some day, we hope so at least.
We also trust that this case may
not result in others who have
gained land here being dragged
INTO court to defend their right
to it, It is bad for the country
and tends to discourage home
steading.

Santa Fe

Our enforced visit to Santa f'e
last week, was not altogether a
hardship. Even the forced at
tendance at Court was offset by
the courtesy and dignity of the
Federal Court and officials. Santa
Fe has improved wonderfully
since we irst saw her and blush
ed for the condition of the Capital
of a Territory. Much Of the un-
slightly has disappeared and in
its stead is the New Santa Fe"
building in its own peculier and
most attractive style of architec-
ture, which seems to us t. be a
blending of the most modern
methods and materials with a
a true conception of the primitive
Ideas of prehistoric man. The
result is buildings differing from
the so-ealled mission style"
with distinction andreal Glass"
and admitting Of variation from
a two-room cottage to the largest
School building and used alike
for power houses, residences and
public buildings. Our visit was

proud of it as one of the tidiest

Circle High School Notes

| On account of the outbreak G
Spanish Influenza in Glendive, W
think it is wise to take precaution
| here; consequently there will bs
no Parent t-Teachers' Association
meeting Friday evening as plan
ned.
! No visitors will be allowed unit
further notice.
The school house has been
thoroughly fumigated, and veal
solution of forma]dehyde will be
kept on the stoves all the time; sc
that the school will be probably
the safest place in town for youl
children to be.
We are taking these precautions
that we may prevent an outbreak
of the desease here, and we ask
the Parents to cooperate with us
in keeping their children at home
before and after school hours.
Keep a weak solution of the
formaldehyde on the stoves at
home, keep the throat and nose
of each member of the family well
washed with some good antiseptic
solution, and keep close watch
for symptoms of colds. If these
precautions are observed by ALL
there will be small chance for the
disease to get a foothold here.
We want no sickness, if we can
help it, while we have no doctor,

they have chosen a most inoppor-

The boys of the great American
army are back of Woodrow Will

the extent they are willing to give
their lives on the battlefields of
Europe in order that the aims ex-
pressed by our president may be
realized-and they ask that the
people back home stand back of
him in the same whole-hearted
manner and send to Washington,
not bitter partisans but men who
will stand by the president. By

but re-elect T. j. Walsh.

clearer what the end must be and what
we must do to achieve it.

School House
Burned Down

The startling news was brough
to town Sunday that the newly
built school house over on Lost
creek, on the Claude Tillotsor
farm, had been burned down or
Saturday night.
According to reports it seems
that some one had set it on fire
and two men have been arrested
on suspicion. They are VIM.
Knight and George Norman,
Knights hired man. Both were
taken to Glendive Tuesday but as
this is written we have not heard
the outcome of the trial.
The building was brand new
one just erected by the district to
replace the old one near the
Knight place which had become too
small. 1t was being built by
wayne Warfleld and Gail Knapp
and ready to start school in a few
days by Miss Florence Richardson,
who was to teach the coming
term again.
If>the building was burned up
because of spite work, it was
about as mean a trick as we have
heard of, and we hope the guilty
ones, whoever they may be, are
given severe punishment for their
act. We certainly have no school
houses to burn up in this section
of Montana, if iffanything we need
a few hundred more built right
here in the Redwater Valley, in
order that children in the rural
districts may receive as much |
education as possible.

Geo. Hayes Now
In Base Hospital

| According to word received q
few days ago by Wayne Hayes
from his brother George, who the
past eight or nine months has
been on active duty over in
France, we hear that George had
been wounded in the neck by a
machine gun bullet and was then
in a hospital, but getting along
fine.
According to Georges letter he
belongs to what is called the
"Shoo-Shoo Squad" These squads
are composed of eight or ten vol
unteers who go and rout out the
German machine gun nests before
the infantry makes a charge. On
this particular occasion they
thought they had cleaned them
all out but one, and started out to
get it. When about halfway
towards it, another one that had
so far not been used, was opened
up on them unawares and in div
ing into a shell-hole one of the
machine gun bullets hit George in
the neck. However, his letter
says, 1--WE got them out, just the
same"
George has already had several
close calls but the last was the
worst. Some time ago a bullet
passed through his canteen, another
time a,high explosive shell went
off close by tearing the blanket of
his back, but never received a
By this time we presume
he is well again and probably at
work in the front line trenches.
George is making a splendid
record "over there and certainly
1oing his share towards licking the
Huns.

Circle Will Get
Doctor Soon

We have some very interesting
and no doubt welcome news for
our readers this week. 1t is that
Circle will soon have a doctor.
Ever since DR.. Koehler left sev-
eral attempts have been made to
get some doctor to locate here but
of no avail. Finally John K.
Lowell of the Circle Drug Co.,
wired to the Minneapolis Drug Co.,
and they recommended DR.. E. T.
Robinson of Fargo, N. Oak. Mr..
Lowell communicated with DR..
Robinson and received a message
Wednesday that he would come
to Circle within very few days,
and will no doubt locate here if
he finds things suitable.
Dr.Robinson, we understands a
man about 38 years of age and
has had eleven years of experience
as doctor, one year of which he
was in the U. S. medical corps.
He comes very highly recommend
ed and here's hoping he will locate
lere permanently.
