welcome to your home town, dear
boys of good old Perth,
A thousand times we welcome you to
the land that gave you birth.
And though your trials were many
We were with you night and day
In thai land called mo Mans Land"
many miles away.
We remember well the day you left
as off for camp you went,
Amid the noise and shouts on a mis-
sion you were sent.
Our hearts were filled with sadness
and the tears bedimmed Jul eyes,
And the memory ne'er will fade of
the many sad good-byes.
Now you're back home once again
with glory you will shine,
AS from across the ocean deep our
hearts you did entwine. 4
We cheered for you, we cried for you
but never ave up hope for you,
That you'd return victorious with
deeds SO brave and true.
And those that gave their lives for
us, they did not give in vain,
Although wefll always miss them,
their lives have e our gain,
Let us offer up our prayer for those
we never more will see,
And gone but not forgotten let our
motto be-"

SIX THOUSAND TAXICABS
ARE IDLE IN LONDON

LONDON, June Il (by maiD.-
There are only 5000 taxicabs on the
streets of London today, as compared
with 5000 in 1914. One company own
ing 5000 idle cars refuses to operate
them because the government will not
permit it to charge a fat rate of
Is cents mile Five hundred other
cars are kept out Of service by the
police requirement that there shall
be a clearance of ten inches between
their axles and the ground.
At a hearing before a committee Of
parliament this requirement was de-
nounced as a foolish rule. It was in
tended to save the lives of persons
who might be knocked down by taxi
cabs. The parliamentary committee
promised to have the idle cars put
into use.

the gradual disappearance of cabs
and cabmen of the old school. Auto
mobile taxicab competition had re-
duced the number of one-horse cabs
in Paris to little less than 1000 be-
fore the war. The requisition Of all
horses fit for any service in the army
reduced the number to less than 1000
in 1915 Now there are only 564 in

BRAzILLANSARE
IN MARKET FOR
BIG PURCHASES

RIO DE JANEIRO, June 1 (Corre-
spondence Of Associated Press) -
Business in Brazil, which had been
stagnated since the first Of October,
1918-a month before the signing of
the armistice-has since the first of
| April shown marked indications of an
upward trend, and a well-manifested
optimism has taken the place among
business men here interested in trade
with the United States of the forebod-
ings which many of them expressed
one or two months ago.
A canvass of the leading bankers
and American commercial representa-
tives in Rio de Janeiro recently has
brought out the fact that the old order
of transactions on a free and unpan-
icky basis has begun. Importers are
placing orders for new stocks in linn
tied quantities, and a fair share of
them are going to American firms and
| factories.
Brazilian commerce, both domestic
and foreign, has just weathered one of
the most severe storms in it's history,
and the very few business failures
which resulted was considered re-
markable by both local and foreign
number of calamities which followed
one another in rapid succession. The
! freezing of about so per cent of the
mature coffee trees was the first, fol
lowed closely by the appointment Of
a government food commission which
was obliged to arbitrarily fix prices
upon certain raw materials for indus
| try-notably cotton. The textile in
dustry was hard hit by this action,
and the loss of confidence among dis
tributors of their product.
Early in October the influenza cpl
demic closed mills and paralyzed trade
and this was followed by the signing
of the armistice, with a general anti
cipation of a drop in prices in all staple
commodities.
Shortly after the close of hOstilities
came a deluge of deliveries on orders
placed in the United States as much
as a year before, and the wholesale
cancellations which resulted were due
to the fact that the Brazilian merchant
had to choose between cancellation or
extension and bankruptcy. He chose
the former in most cases. The large
stocks which accumulated through the
period of stagnatiOn are now being
worked off, and buyers are again be-
ginning to secure quotations from
abroad
Brazilian and North American bust
ness men generally agree that the
prosperity of the North American trade
in Brazil from now on will depend
greatly on the prices and qualities.
The prices must be within competing
distance of European houses and the
quality of goods shipped must be such
as to give entire satisfaction to the
Brazilian merchant. A substitute ship
ment of something just as good" in
stead of the exact shipment ordered
is of incalculable damage to not only
the firm involved but others of the
same country.

These counter sections must ho
paid fer by another county warrant
This warrant will go into a bond: the
warrant will be for 5000 and will
cost the taxpayers by the time If is
paid another 5000 for interest,
If there ever was a demonstrat;o,
of downright incompetency and man
feasance in Office, this counter sec-
ton business is splendid sample of
1t, and every involved officer should
be removed from Office on the grounds
of lunacy.
The main excuse Mr.. Girard pave
for the purchase of these sections
was that he wanted to fence the
farmers away from the passage lead
ing from the court room to the
judges chamber, as during court
weeks his front Office was alwavs
filled with these uncouth tillers of
the soil and that he wanted to fix
the office in such a way, that the
judge could pass from the court room
to his chamber without having to
rub elbows with these clodhoppers,
1t is claimed that this was the argu-
ment that won the day with the
"Blind Men" and the counter Sec
tions were ordered. Nobody ever
thought fthe fact that a barbed
wire ENHANCEMENT could have been
put in that would have served the
same purpose for about five dollars.
AS it is now, anyont wanting to
get in the judges chamber can eth
er go through the court room first
or crawl through window.

MURDERS WIFE
THEN KILLS
HIMSELF

Deputy Sheriff Harry Cain and
wife, both we'll known residents OF
Poplar, are dead as the result of pis-
tol wounds inflicted by the former
while in a fit of despondency last
Sunday afternoon, both being shot
through the temple, the latter dying
about two hours afterward and the
former next morning.
Coroner A. w. Gustafson was
called to the scene of the terrible
crime Monday forenoon and held an
inquest over the remains at which
time but little light was shed on the
tragedy Or its causes. No one was
present at the time the deed was
committed and when discovered both
were still alive, but remained un-
conscious to the end. Mrs. Cain was
lying on the bed and apparently was
unaware Of any danger when the
fatal shot was fired. Cain sat in a
chair short distance from the bed
and when discovered his body was
still in an upright position with the
gun laying at his feet.
Both were we'll known and respect
ed people and the terrible affair has
spread pail of gloom over the COM
munity in which they were so we'll
known. Four children survive them,
the oldest being about twelve.

what the law is; everybody knows
that a petition fulfilling the require
ments. of the law has been filed; ev-
erybody knows that Froid had
moral right to file the petition and
everybody knows that Poplar is
throwing away every chance she ev-
er had of getting the county seat by
playing this game of Weinrich's. For
it is plain to any one that this kind
of dirty tactics only prejudices Pop
lar in the eyes of all lovers of real
sport-all lovers Of a square deal.
1t is reported that Poplar is delay
ing the game in order to naCurahze
about six hundred Indians, who will
vote for Poplar-we don't blame that
city for that or for wanting the coun-
ty seat. Poplar has as much right
to pant for the county seat as has
Bainville, Mondak or Froid.
The prize to the winner.
But six hundred Indians will not
win the county seat for Poplar, af-
ter Poplar has gained the ill-wlll of
all of the other localities which as
pire for the county seat.
The question is being asked on ev-
cry side: "Is Poplar in a pact with
Weinrich to defy the law, or IS Pop
lar working for Mondak and Weln-
rich?" Things do look suspicious.

ing article seems to be weakening;

Judge Conner Will Now Have an ODDor-
tunity to Say Whether Joe Hockine
will Hook the Taxpayers for Another
$9OO---Taxpayers Await Decision

Hooking" Joe Hooking, that rare
friend of ]. F. Redmond in the olden,
golden days at Glasgow, and also
bosom friend of the experienced
Frank Weinrich of Mondak, has not
been able to get his claim for the
nice shiny, green counter sections
which "Sunny Jim" and the "Three
Blind Men" bought for Clerk Of
Court Girard's office, just a few days
before the said Sunny Jim" was
separated from the county pap line,
and for which nice pretty little coun-
ter sections, Mr.. Girard, pants and
pants, approved by Bridget
O'Grady, county auditor.
So the Loyalty League booster has
now gone to Judge Conner with his
tale of woe and will try to persuade
that gentleman to help him get his
graphing irons hooked into the
county treasury. Last week he had
papers served on the couny audi
tor, Mrs. O'Grady and took the
matter to the Judge who can approve
a claim over the head of the county
auditor, if he wants to. Mr.. Hook
ing is hoping for better luck this
time, and the taxpayers are waiting
to see what will happen next.
Sheridan county is so near bank
rupt that practically no work can be
done on the roads this year; it Is
even probable that much of the coun-
ty activities will soon come to an end,
because the county is dead broke and
in debt to the limit, as a result of
the management of J. F. Redmond
and Frank Weinrich.

Red Cross all dressed in uniform
served the banquet and worked prac-
tically all day getting it ready. They
are deserving of great deal of
credit for the successful way in which
it was handled. The banquet lasted
for about an hour at which time the
speaking began. Judge N. Davis of
this city presided in his usual happy
fashion as POSTMASTER and delivered
stirring patriotic speech. The Citi-
zen regrets that it is unable to Sc
cure copy of this speech for pub
lication for we believe that of all the
patriotic speeches delivered by Judge
Davis in Scobey, this was the best.
Judge Davis introduced as the first
speaker, Mayor Sid Bennett who de-
livered very appropriate welcome
to the soldiers and sailors and took
occasion to deliver to them the 'keys
of the city" "Take the town to

what you want with it and when you
have enjoyed yourselves to your sat-
