shine again as soon as the nation
comes from the shadows of military
defeat.
We have to rest satisfied with the
reparations imposed, the taking of
German territory and the dethroning
of the Hohenzollerns and their militia
rists. We are putting Germany in
a military way out of the ranks of
world powers and we are circumscrib-
ing all future efforts of that nation
to rise again. We are laying hold of
the economic pulse of the German in
dustry in such way as to guarantee
the payment of indemnities and the
costs of the war
If any people on earth deserve the
heel of the conqueror on their necks,
the Germans are the people. They
ought to be bound to slavery till they
can know oppression and hate it.

Germans are going to meet some of

facing Go back and read again, if you
are disposed to believe we have been

not be satisfied, but you must know
that the pride of German has been
awfully upset. He gave us four years

PROSPECT OF FAILURE ON

Atlanta, Ga, May 8.-The prospect
of Atlanta's first civic failure since

throughout the length and breadth of

scare into the business men and
commercial organization of the city,
who are lending all their energies to-
ward making a spectacular finish to

but three days more to run, is tagging
far behind other municipalities of the
nation-even behind the state as a

been raised up to noon Wednesday.
Rains have interfered with the
"stunts' planned for the campaign
and seem to have dampened the ar
dor of workers hitherto taking a
prominent part in loan campaign, as
headquarters announce that the cry
ing need of the organization is more

LOWER PRICE PROSPECTS

! There are now many indications
pointing to a maintenance of high
prices all over the country. The mean
ness of the great packers is every
where apparent in an increased cost
of food products and food is going to
continue to cost whatever the great
corporation can get for it, and get
by with it,
But other prices are becoming
stabilized on a high level, far above
the prices of 1914. That need do
none OF us any harm. That need prove
a handicap in none of our business
avenues, so long as what we have to
offer the markets in trade is allowed
to assume similar high level. Every
thing points to a lingering of high
prices. If this be true, we ought to
know it and get on our business
clothes with an idea that 1t is time to
be moving.
We expect prices to drop,-have
been at it ever since the armistice
was declared. Some of us belve it yet,
many of us. The merchant is selling
but not buying,
The manufacturer holds up the pur-
chase of his raw materials. People
quote the disparity between present
prices and those prevailing before
the war, and decide they will not
buy much until present prices get
down to normal" This general CON
viction that prices are sure to drop is
putting a brake upon the entire ma
chinery of production and distribution
Read-adjustment wait because we keep
on waiting for it. We have waited in
vain for over three months. II Is in
teresting to observe that many manu-
facturers think that prices must come
down, including the price of labor;
but they are ready to demonstrate to
you that their own prices can not
come down, nor can they pay lower
wages Almost everything they buy
somehow costs twice as much as be-
fore the war, and their labor Is twice
as dear. They can not pay their labor
less if labor is to meet the increased
cost of living. Now, as matter of
! fact, when we investigate almost any
individual one of the so called high
prices for industrial products we are
, likely to find that individually it is
net hight; thot is, it is not high rel
atively to the rest. Our quarrel is
with the general level of prices.
And so we have been waiting bust,
ness. Now we begin to doubt whether
we can wait longer. Business is going
ahead in spite of the waiting. We
have every indication pointing to

present prevailing price The local
business man who steps into the
whrl and goes forward has a good
business season ahead of him. These
are prophesies, only what looks like
| good guess. You may remember this
fact. To talk revently of 1884
prices is to speak dead language to-
/ day. The buyers of the country, since
the armistice, have made an unex-
ampled attack upon prices through
waiting attitude, and yet price recess

MCCOne Co. Fair
Circ|e,Sept.

At a meeting of the Circle Com
mercial Club last Monday evening it
was unanimously decided to put on a
McCone County Fair at Circle this
fall on September 18th. and goth.
The fair will be without question
the biggest thing ever pulled OF in
the county, and the business men of
Circle are digging up one thousand
bucks to "put'er over.
Some may say this is no time to
put on a fair, but the fact of the mat
ter is, conditions are not SO bad in
eastern Montana as they have been
reported to the outside world. Re
ports from various sections indicate
that the exhibits are going to sur
prise the world, the year considered,
and the fair to be held here. this fall
will be an eye opener to thousands,
as to the fertility and productiveness
of McCone county soil.
At the McCone county fair there will
be exhibits of all kinds of farm pro-
duce, grain, ETC., live stock, poultry,
and also a ladies department for the
showing of all kinds of fancy work
and culinary. Besides exhibits of
all kinds several prominent speakers
will be here for the occasion, and
entertainments of all kinds will be
provided. A baseball tournament Of
four of the leading McCone county
teams will be here on the two days,
and another feature will be a big
barbecue, in charge of Jay Case, who
will roast big steer. This will be
worth coming long ways to see.
There will also be races of various
kinds.
Complete details of the big advent
will be advertised soon, and in the
meantime make up your mind to

Strike Calls $500

Between $500 and 1000 workers EN-
ployed in the railroad shops OF the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern railroad thruout Montana are now
out on strike in the national walkout
of affiliated cratic, according to press
dispatches received in Great Falls
Tuesday evening.
Indications are that the Northern
Pacific situation is acute as the re-
suit of a walkout of HOO employees
at the Livingston shops and smaller
strike at Billings. Only passenger
crews will report for work at Living
ston this morning, the dispatches an
nounce. At Helena $50 shopmen
struck Tuesday and railroad officials
admit that the service will be crippI-
ed soon.
No report of curtailment OF service
have been received from Great North
ern stations but virtually all the large
shops of this railway are closed be-
cause of the strike. Nearly 1000 en-
ployes are on strike at the Great
Northern shops at Great Falls, Wolf
Point. Whitefish, Bowdoin and Havre.
Employs at the Great Northern,
Northern Pacific and Milwaukee shops
at Butte were still at work Tuesday
evening. About rs union members
are employed at the Northern Pacific
shops in Butte and small force is

| r. r. Hopkins of Paxton was in the
city Monday. Mr.. Hopkins had just
returned the day previously from a
visit to Everett, Wash. being accom-
panied by Martin Bergan and E. W.
Myers, also of Paxton.
While at Everett, Mr.. Hopkins made
a trade with G. H. Kravik. a manu-.
facturer of that city whereby he dis
poses of his many interests at Paxton
for dairy farm near Everett, as well
as various city property. 1t will pro-
badly be several months, however,
before he can get his business affairs
in shape so as to be able to depart
for his new home. Messers Bergan
and Myers and their families also
expect to shortly locate at Everett.
A combination public sale of the
personal effects of the three gentle
men will be held in the near future.
Watch for the sale date.
1t will be with extreme regret that
the hundreds of friends of Mr.. Hop
kins and his estimable family in this
section will see them depart for their
new home, although wishing them the
best that life holds. He is one of the
pioneers of this section, where he has
always taken leading part in any
enterprise that rendered to the up
building of the country. No one man
in this section of the state has been
a better booster than has Mr.. Hop
kins, and at great personal sacrifice
he has done countless things for the
good of the community. Such citi-
zens are indeed missed when they de-
part for new fields of endeavor.

of extremely dry weather as far as

GOOD ROADS ASSN.
HOLDS MEETING

A meeting of the directors of the
McCone County Goods Roads Assn
was held at Circle last Sunday, but
only five of the board of directors
were present. However the meeting
was attended by quite a number of
people who are interested in better
roads for McCone county.
! The association has in mind the
question of whether or not it would
be advisable for the county to bond
for $110,000.00 so as to take advant-
age of like amount of federal aid
which has been allotted to this county
thus receiveing dollars worth of
road work for SO cents.
Out Of this $11O,000.0O there would
be $4,000 used on the projects on
which the board of county commits
sioners have asked for federal aid
and would leave $4,000 together with
$4,000 from the government, in case
a bond issue carried, for other state
highways in the county.
Nothing definite was decided at
Sundays meeting and another meet
ing is called for Sunday August oath,
at which time it is hoped that some
definite action can be taken. A large
representation from all parts of the
county is expected, to discuss the
matter thoroughly and also come to
some agreement as to where this road
money should be spent, in case bond
issue is decided upon and carries.
Dawson and Richland counties are
voting on a 5000, 100000 bond issue
each. and the McCone county Good
Roads Boosters, think McCone Co.
should also take advantage OF this
federal aid money.
