VIDA COUPLE
WEDS AT CIRCLE

A very pretty wedding took
place at Circle last Tuesday a.
fternoon, when the popular
couple from over in the Vida
country, Mr.. John P. Kuth and
Miss. Mary M. Quinby, were
united in marriage.
The wedding took place at
the Rev. Loomis- home, and the
ring ceremony was used, Rev.
Loomis tying the knot. Mr.. and
Mrs. W. c. Gardner, mother and
foster father of the bride, were
witnesses to the wedding cere-
The newly-weds left here for
Vida where the groom has a
fine farm and where they will
start up housekeeping. They
have a large number of friends
with whom the Banner joins in
extending congratulations.

were about ten rods further up
the road over next to a fence
and had tore down part of the
fence. The empty barrels had
been tipped out of the wagon
over the fence, but both wagons
were standing right-side up.
The case is a sad one, and
especially so owing to the fact
that Mrs. Motif is at Missoula
attending a teachers summer
school. She was Immediately
wired. Up to time of going to
press have heard no word re-
garding coroner's verdict as to
cause of death, but remains
were taken to Glendive, and we
presume will likely be buried
there.
Mr.. Motif was one of the
early settlers Of this secion. He
was a hard working and pro-
gessive farmer and his many
will deeply regret to
hear of his sad, and untimely
death.

FOUND DEAD
non R|CHEY ROAD.

This community was deeply
shocked yesterday forenoon
when word reached here that
Chas. Motif, a well known Lost
Creek homesteader had been
found dead on road to Richey.
Mr.. Motif was on his way to
Richey with a six-horse outfit
and two wagons, loaded with
empty gas barrels. 1t seems
that he had camped O nWednes-
day night at either Rose Valley
or near the old Butterfield
ranch and had started out for
Richey again early yesterday
morning. Long about nine o.
clock or SO a farmer by the
name of Stewart living about
s miles the other side of Rose
Valley, near the Richey road,
seen the horses standing near
the road and went over to see
what was wrong, finding Mr..
Motif lying in the road dead.
He Immediately went to |
Rose Valley and word was
phoned here, but as the accid- |
ent happened over in Dawson
county, the authorities in Glen
dive had to take charge.
Art Hobbs, Delbert Olson and
Chas. Fletcher also came along
on their way home from Richey
shortly afterwards and found
him lying in the road. Accord
ing to reports it seems that Mr..
Motif must have either had a
or accidently fell off
the wagon, as his head had been
bruised up considerable and one
leg was broken. The horses {

PRES. WILSON

: New York, July president
, Wilson returned to the United
States today and in his first
speech delivered on American
soil since the peace treaty was
signed, declared that the peace
concluded at Paris was ADJUST
peace which,. if it can be pre-
served, will safeguard the world
from unnecessary bloOdshed.
! The only reference the pre-
sident made to his political op-
ponents was when, in referring
to the negotiations at Paris, he
said:
I am afraid some people,
some persons, do not under
stand that vision. They do not
see it. They have looked too
much upon the ground. They
have thought too much of the
interests that were near them,
and they have not listened to
the voices of their neighbors.

doubts as to where the heart
and purpose of this people lay"

RETURNED FROM
OVERSEAS

A'Sio JCAccu Ol OOCIOQWOO(
returned home last week from
overseas, coming home on the
3rd just in time to celebrate JULY
4th right.
Mr. Jensen seen just one yeal
OF service, leaving here on June
o0th. a year ago. He received
his training at Camp Lewis and
Camp kerney from where he
was sent across and arriving in
france took active part in the
'front.' lines for the first time on
| Oct. 9Th.
| Nearly every day for 40 days
he saw service on the front and
was III the midst of the fighting
at all times. Finally while in the
Argonne drive his company had
advanced too far on the night
OF November 9th last fall when
they took possession of some
German trenches. and conseo-
uently were cut off by the Ger
mans. Nels together with about
81 others of his company had
made for dugout at daylight
after realizing that they ad-
Vanced too far, but the Germans
soon surrounded them and
started throwing hand grenades
at the dugout and they were
compelled to surrender and be
taken prisoners, as it was a
hopeless case to try and get out
without being killed. They were |
then taken to German prison
camp in Alsace-Leraine on Nov.
Ioth, but for six days did they
know that the armistice was
signed. From the prison camp
they were taken to Metts, and
Nels says it worried them consi-
derably to be taken there be-
cause they had heard it rumor- s
ed that the Americans were go
!ng to launch big drive on {
Metts, but they soon found out I
t was all over with, and a tickI-
ed bunch they were. l
When asked regarding the g
reatment they received at the I
camp, NeIs said it wasn't t
lad everything considered. on 3
y they didn't get anything to a
at but horse meat and some
CUP. But it was only six DAYS I
o they didn't mind it. b
Nels is the only man, to our ls
nowledge, that had the expert Il
nee of being a German pri- n
oner from hereabouts. He is
'oklng the very best of health u
no just as tickled as a little 81
,hool boy to be back home a. II

merlcans during the war, Nels DC

FIXING AUTOMOBILE VALUES.
Tax Commission Making Most Reas-
enable Assessments.

In addition to the fixing Of the
valuation on mercantile holdings this
year the tax commission will seek to
make a systematic assessment Of
values on automobiles. All of the
schedules have not yet been arranged
but if the commission proceeds on
the lines it started it is hardly pos
sible that automobile owners will
have any complaints to make.
The commission will first arrive at
a reasonable value of each make of
automobile and the assessment for
tax.,;,:,n purposes will be ~ er cent.
of this.
Az idea Of the vairr ;:'As be Had
from the following: The value of a
Ford 1913 roadster is fixed at S400,
and the assessed value for taxation at
s170, of touring car Of the same
year the actual value Is $46S and the
assessed value $195. A Ford roadster
1917 model is valued at $25e and the
assessed value at sos, a touring car
of 1917 is valued at $270 and the
taxable value is fixed at $115.
Other figures are: Franklin, 1918,
actual value $3.50, taxable value
1910; 1917 model actual value, ST.
290, taxable value $40. Dodge. 1918
actual value $S43, taxable value
1855; 1917 model, actual s610, tax
able, $255, Packard, 1918, actual val
ue $40, taxable $1,S4S; 1917 model
actual $2;400, taxable sS40.-The
State.
County Auditor Allen has been adj
vised by the State Tax Commission
not to enter upon his records, until
further advised, any stocks Of mer-
chandise, lumber plants or automo-
biles, as it was the purpose of the
commission to assess and equalize for
taxation the items referred to above
during this year.

Dillon, S. O., April II, 1919.
EDUCATION Is TAKING TOO LONG

An educator of some prominence
suggests that the schools run the en-
tire year on the supposition that our
portion of education would be obtain
ed more quickly. This, he says, would
benefit the race by getting us past
the preparatory period sooner and
give US chance to start o1t in life
at an earlier day.
There is much room for specula-
tion in the suggestion. A mar or wom-
!. an bent on acquiring a college educa-
tiop reaches the age of 25 or there
abduts before he or she is past the
leaning stage; then the battle with
Life begins, the stress Of getting toe
--hold7on the chariot Of success. After
some years OF work angling for posi-
tioa, place, power and filthy lucre,
sufficient headway is made o permit
OF marriage. By that time the highly
educated parties are about 80 years
Of age.
Deferred marriage creates a serious
biological and sociological problem.
And IL the so-called higher education
is at fault. perhaps we can with profit
prune a bit on the length of years ne
cessary to acquire so much education.
For generation or, two the pendu-
ium has swung toward super-educa-
tioR; the time is probably soon here
when the pendulum viii swing to-
ward practical, condesed and con-
centrated education that will eat up
fewer valuable years Of life.

CHEAPER MEAT UNLIKELY.

Consumers probably are not enthu-
siastic about the prospect of reduced
prices for meat. 1t seems that lower
prices in the future are unlikely, and
for the simple reason that the in
crease in population is vastly out
stripping the increase in meat pro-
duction.
1t seems funny that we cennot get
our meat producers, to keep up with
the demands, but it is explained by
the fact that the large ranges are
being changed into lands very rapid
ly, and the land that is utilized in the
production of wheat cannot be used
for grazing purposes.
In 1900 there were $50 head of
cattle for every 1000 persons, but to-
day this has been reduced to $50.
In the case of hogs, in nine years
the number has dropped from 500 to
600 for each thousand persons;
sheep from $50 to $50.
The capacity of our ranges is de-
<creasing and any increased meat
production must come from the farms
where the cost of production is much
greater than on the range.
Meantime meat consumption in the
nation is steadily increasing.
There seems to be no way out of
the dilemma. 1t will be necessary
for farmers hereabouts to join the
procession and raise as many meat
animals as they possibly can. Every
little bit will help. 1t is getting so
that some farmers will not be able
to buy their meat, but will have to
raise it themselves if they want to
be economical.
