Atlas Peck is keeping til. horse he got in the trade witt the Gypsy horse traders hid Everybody here knows he gor licked in the trade but they car not tell how bad unless the, could see the horse he got.
 Cape Allsop and Miss Flutit Belcher were seen out walking Sunday afternoon. This is Gape's hrst attempt to break in to society since moving here The people were beginning tc think he was going to be "snub- bed" on account of his being 6 second cousin of Columbus All sop. however, it is believed if he will hold himself up and conduct himself right he will soor Tive down" this misfortune.
 At a called meeting of the Hog wallow dog fanciers the other night, it was unanimously decid ed that Hogwallow would take nc part in the next annual home talent Dog Fair unless the show cap be held on halfway ground between Hogwallow and Tick vile or in Hogwallow proper, as the 1ickville dogs get all the prizes when the fair is held ir Tickville.
 Jefferson Potlocks has abou, completed the crop he has made around the stove at the postoffice this winter and as spring is here will step aside and give some body chance at farming.
 Miss Fruzie Allsop turned ul her nose at the Widow of the Calf Ribs neighborhood last Sun day. This action could be ac- counted for only from the fact that Yam Sims has been trying to divide his attentions between them.
 The Postmaster says he has been in the postoffice business ever since Hogwallow has beer g postoffice and he has never seen it fail that when some fel low in congress gets up some bill that will benefit the under paid postmasters of the smal towns. that some smart Ellie starts some kind of filibustel and the bill gets lost in the finish

 Tobe Moseley says he is think ing of leaving Hogwallow if his opinions and words are not more respected in the future. He says we are right now in the height of the fishing season and he fears he will not get credit for all the large fish he catches this season. It is rumofed on good authori- ty that Cape Allsop, former teacher of the Slippery Elm school has landed the job of teaching the Wild Onion school here. This is quite a step up for Cape. Prof. Sap Spradlen the former Wild Onion teacher. who got knocked out by thls transaction, expects to remain in HOgwallow to see if Cape Makes good" on the job. If he does he does not know what he will do in the future. It has been known for some time that many of Prof. Spradlen's enemies were against him.
 A great many of Tobe Nose ley's dogs survived the ravages of the strange disease among them the past winter. but it sap ped about all the energy out ot them.
 The Hogwallow to Tickville train did not make it's regular trip yesterday, as there was no wool cut to make steam. How ever, the train went out on time this morning. as Atlas Peck wanted to go to Ticsyille and got up early and cut good supply ot wood for the trip. 1t is ex- pected that good supply of wood will be found at the other end of the line as Jefferson Pot locks was in Tickville and could not get home until the tram made a trip.
 With hog sleeping under the postoffiee floor ard the Postmas- ter and the Hogwallow Loafers' Club in the building daily and the dogs drinking out of the rain barrel an epidemic of some kind is feared in thls vicinity How ever, it is thought that possibly Atlas Peck's pipe may serve as a disinfectant.
 Many policemen get the idea that it takes red nose to com plete their uniform.

 may be that this is the work of

Yale University. Receives Com
mission as End Lieut..

Lieutenant Eugene I. Kirchner
returned from the Yale University
at Hartford, Conn.,, just before the
Holidays. He was in town the
foreparl of the week and this Of
flee acknowledges a very pleasant
call.
| Mr.. Kirchner enlisted last June

sity, from which he graduated
just two days after the armistice

He got his commission while in
town this week.
Mr.. Kirchners commission as
second Lieutenant holds good for
five years and places him in the
officers reserve corp, SO that he is
subject to call al any time during
that period. He regrets very
much that he was unable to get
"over there. Eugene is very
much interested in radio work, ,and
saysthat during his course of study
he had occasion to take down
many messages that were flashed
through the air between the U. S.
England. France, Italy and Ger
many.
The are many Redwater Valley
boys that have made good" in
Uncle Sans service, and we are
indeed glad to know that Eugene
is one of them and extend to him
our hearty congratulations for
having attained this high position.

Thomas Kearns Farm Sold

With the advent of the New
Year, real estate is already begin
ming to change hands and with
the anticipated arrival of the rail
road, there will no doubt be con.
siderable business in the real estate
line this year.
One farm has already changed
hands. 1t is the Thomas Kearns
farm four miles east of town,
which last Saturday was sold to
Carl Olson, at $1,000 per acre for
the half section.
This is one of the finest farms
in this vicinity, and as Mr.. Olson
homesteaded the other half of the
same section, it will give him
splendid farm.
We understand Mr.. Kearns be-
came the owner of the ]. A. Ho-

IheO. Roosevelt
Died Last Monday

Theodore Roosevelt, for seven
years President of the United
States, died at his home at Saga
more Hill at Oyster Bay, N. Y,
Monday at Ais A. M.
The famous American, exponent
of the Strenuous life", who had
fought in the Spanish-American
war, and risked death in hunting
big game and exploring the
jungles of Africa, South America,
passed away peacefully while
asleep, the victim of a blood clot
in the lung, resulting from infla-
matory rheumatism, traceable to
an infected tooth from which he
suffered twenty years ago.
The exact time of Mr.. Roose-
velt's death was Ais A. M, as
nearly as can be determined.
There was no one at his bedside
at the time he died. A minute or
two before, his attendant. James
Amos, noticed that the patient was
breathing heavily in his sleep and
went to call nurse. When he re-
turned with her, the former Pres
dent was dead. Mrs. Roosevelt
was Immediately summoned.
Colonel Roosevelt was 90 years
I'D. He was the twenty-sixth
President of the United States,and
ucceeded to the presidency on the
leath of William Mckinley, who
vas shot and killed at Buffalo,N.Y.

to a finish and there were flowers
on the table. We also had music
and singing, and speechmaking.
Ofcourse we had turkey and
plum pudding, and of fruit there
was oranges, bananas, apples and
grapes, also celery. Of pie and
cake we had of each two kinds.
In case that should not be enough
each received a one pound sack of
nuts and candy as we left the mess
hall. In the evening we had quite
an entertainment at the Y. M. G..
A., and candy was freely distri-
buted by numerous fair sisters of
the Red Cross, who added to it's
deliciousness with their smiles and
goodfellowship.
Many of the boys are home on
furloughs but those of us whose
homes are too far away to join
with our dear ones in Christmas
cheer, are gladdened by numerous
gifts from home.
Yours truly,

Circle High School Notes

The. Wahl children and Fred
Gastineau have returned to school
This makes a total enrolment of
Leo.
We are pleased to hear so
many expressions of approval
concerning the manner in which
we celebrated Christmas. The
mothers of the children seem to
be pleased because the children
were not exhausted to provide
entertainment for the grown peo-
pie, but enjoyed Christmas as
children should.
Our Janitor, Mr.. LaRowe, has
now adjusted the seats so that all
the children sit with their feet
touching the floor, both heel and
toe; this is one of the things we
have been very anxious to have
done, in too many schools the
children's toes touch the floor but
not the heels, as a result the
children's backs are thrown out
of line, they become overly tired,
and dull in their work. Many
people have suffered ill health in
later life from having their backs
permanently curved by sitting in
seats either too large or too small
for them.
