Compromise Resolution
On Suffrage Is Proposed

Wa shington, Feb. 28.- Chair
man Jones of the woman suffrage
committee announced today that
before congress adjourns another
effort would be made to secure
adoption of a resolution author
izing submission of an equal suf-
frage amendment to the federal
constitution. In making the an
nouncement Senator Jones intro
duced modified resolution giving
states initial authority to enforce
the proposed amendment.
The new resolution was designed
to meet objections of senators
from the southern states and was
reported to have the approval, as
a compromise measure, of Presi-
dent Wilson and leaders of woman
suffrage organizations. Senator
Jones discussed the subject yester-
day with the president, who ex-
hope the resolution would
be adopted before adjournment.
The measure provides that fran
chise shall not be abridged because
of sex, and contains the following
enforcement clause:
'The several states shall have
the authority to enforce this arti-
Gle by necessary legislation, but if
any state shall enforce or enact |
any law in conflict Herewith, then
shall not be excluded |
from enacting appropriate legisla-
ion to enforce it."

F. A. Parrett, Clerk of Court
had narrow escape the other day
from choking to death while eat

masticate piece of Henry Sch

while in the process Frank tried to
give one of his big hee-haw laughs
and got a piece of the steak lodged
in his throat which caused him
a lot of fright which was relieved
soon after DR.. Beach gave him
about quart of hot mustard
water. Franks friends say he
will have to see the veterinarian
and have his teeth filed or lay off
from the hee-haw. Monitor.

9TH had quite a lengthy writeul
trying to boost Brockway fo
county seat, both temporary ant
permanent. Sure that would b,
! fine wouldn't if, after Brockwa,
done everything they possibly
could think of to prevent the CO
unity of McCone from being ere
ated. The Bulletin makes big
holler about that the people ha6
no voice in the matter being tha'
the county was created by legis'
lative act. But listen, if the ole
McCone law for creation Of new
counties had been workable in
this section, the people of the ter.
ritory which will comprise McCone
county after April 1st, would have
had a new county before this. We
have yet to hear of single COM
plant because the new county has
been created-except from some
of the business men in Brockway
Farmers living close to Brockway
always were for the new county.
The petitions circulated proved
that. Only trouble is that Brock
way is worried because she fears
Circle will get the county seat.
To that Circle is justly entitled,
not only because of the good work
put forth by it's enterprising busi-
ness men who put her through, !,
but because it offers better ac-
comodations in every respect and,
is the largest town in McCone
county-more than twice as large
as Brockway. Circle always has
been we'll known trading center,
all of the old trails lead to Circle.
From the early days of ranching
Circle has been on the map as
one of the best known trading
points in eastern Montana. Very
few people ever heard Of Brock
way, even now.
AS to Circles location in the
county as the lines are at present
Brockway hasn't got anything to
crow" about. They try to show
how much better located they will
be than Circle when territory will
be added from Prairie, but Of
course say nothing about the
seven townships in range so and
1t least four in range 81, all east
If Circle, which will eventually be
added to McCone county, because
he residents of these townships
ire already wanting to come in.
This territory as well as that in
Prairie was not Intentionally left
,ut, as the Bulletin claims, but
eft out in order to eliminate op-
position from Glendive and Terry.
They howl because Circle done
t this way-by legislative act-but
Brockway hadn't been asleep,
md had started out on cam
,aign to create a new county, they
would have gone after it the same

way Circle did, and ofcourse any,
thing they would have e"pulled off
would have been strictly alright
then, sure, but pretty rotten being
Circle was the promoter. 1t sure
gives a fellow the "giggles."
The Bulletin also tries to make
believe that Brockway has cinch
on the division point-but far be
it from such. Brockway may
claim" it, but Circle will get" it,
because its exactly the right dis
tance. and besides the Great Nor
thern & Dakota Townsite Co.,
olatted the townsite of Circle, and
sold lots here at both public and
private sale. The Circle townsite
comprises 100 acres, 100 acres of
which is plated, The other 60
acres owned by GIN, .,adjoins what
has already been plated and is
reserved for their yards, round
house, etc., and is an ideal loca-
tion. Over at Brockway-so says
the Bulletin-the G. N. has taken
over a deed for ample ground in
Brockway for yard purposes"
Yes, possibly enough for siding.
At Circle their yards will cover 60
acres.
1t is also well known fact that
the townsite of Brockway is not
owned by the G. NJ, but by pri-
vate individuals. Which is ano-
ther very good reason why they
Will prefer to boost Circle with the
division point, rather than Brock
way. The Great Northern has al
ready taken a very active part in
making Circle good town. By
this we refer to the fact that this
townsite was purchased and plat
ted prior to the arrival of the rail-
road, which is something that is
not very often done-except in
owns which have very promis-
ng future, like Circle. Itmust be
admitted that Circle always has
had it over Brockway and always |
will, and there is really not one
good reason or argument in favor
If Brockway for county seat.
We had expected that Brockway
would at least be candidate for
he location of the permanent
county seat. but didn't suppose
hey would even ask for the tenn
,orary county seat, after fighting
he creation of the new county the
way they did.
In order to be fair, the location
# the temporary county seat was
lot named in the bill creating the
ounty, but as we have stated be-
ore, it is left to the board of
ounty commissioners to decide. |
md we have every reason to be-
eve that the board will give the
wo towns fair consideration and
lace il where it will be to the
'est interests of all concerned, \
which Ofcourse is at Circle.

Soldiers to Get
Bonus Of $4,000

The Dawson County Chapter,
American Red Cross, announces
that a revenue act, approved Feb.
oath, authorizes bonus of $4,000
to all persons who have served in
the military or naval forces and
have been discharged since April
9th, 1917.
All men entitled to this $4,000
should write to the Zone Finance
Office, Lemon Building, Washing
ton, D. c., enclosing certificate of
discharge, This will be returned
with check.
We are in receipt of information
that all men discharged from the
army, who have been allowed 33c
a mile for travel pay, are entitled
to S cents. This makes a balance
of II cents per mile yet due them
from the War Department. At
the time the claim for the bonus
of $4,000 is made, it is advisable to
put in a claim also for the balance
due on the travel pay. For all
soldiers who have already for
warded their application for the
bonus through the Red Cross, we
will make formal application for
the balance due on travel pay, and
ask that the amount be added to
the $4,000.
As the original certificate of dis
charge must be forwarded to
Washington, we advise all men to
have their certificates recorded at
the office of county clerk. The
Department at Washington will
return the discharge with check,
but for fear it may be lost or mis-
placed in the mail, it is advisable
to record it.
Congress has passed a bill au-,
thorizing soldiers to retain their
uniforms. The Associated Press
has given publicity to this new
plan, but for fear it has escaped
some, we call it to the attention of
discharged soldiers.

Big Saving of Wheat

Washington, D. C.-Twenty mil
lion bushels of wheat were saved
to the farmers of seventeen States
last harvest by. the adoption of
careful methods of threshing un-
der the direction of the Food Ad-
ministration's threshing division.
The final report of this division,
containing this estimate of the
saving effected, has just been is
sued. The activities of the d.
vision extended over more than
1000 counties in 81 States.
1t was estimated that the loss of
wheat through hurried and care
less operation of threshers and
through ineficiancy of machines
was 3.25 per cent of the entire
crop.
