SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENTS
PLEASE THE PATRONS

The patrons of u city schools are
more than pleased with the entertain
ments which have been given so far
this winter in the place of the usual
lyceum course, by the students. The
last week of school previous to vaca-
ton there were two concerts given
and each reflect the ability of the
ability of the management, as parti-
cipants in both cases excelled the ex-
pectations of their hearers.
Apart from the benefit to the pu-
pills derived by the training which
they receive, the re~munerations are
playing an important part in meeting
the obligation of the school in paying
for the two new pianos purchased re-

LONG GEORGE" FRANCIS
CASE GETS INTERESTING


The "Long George" Francis case
which has attracted considerable at
t"ention in this section of Montana may
be heard on appeal by the Montana
supreme court.
1t is said that the case involves a
rather peculiar legal question. In
March, 1918, he was convicted of grand
larceny in the district court at Havre.
During the court trial Francis was
at liberty on bond and during the
time intervening between the render
ing of the verdict of guilty and the
passing of sentence, Long George
shook the dust of the Havre city
streets from his feet and remained alb
sent for over sixteen months. One
day last July he made a very dramat-
ic temperance at the court house
in Havre with his attorney who an
nounced to the judge that George
Francis was there to take his medi-
cine.
After sentence was passed Fran
ciss appealed from the judgment and
has been out on bonds since that time
or shortly after. The question of
whether the time to appeal had pass
ed during his absence and between the
time of the return of the verdict and
the time of passing sentence is one of
the intricate questions the supreme
court will have to pass on.

ENUMERATORS TO BEGIN
WORK NEXT NOM

Enumerators will start the work of
taking the federal census in this dis
trict next Monday, January 5. Prob
ably not all in the district will get to
work on that date but it is the pur-
pose of DR.. w. H. Barth, supervisor

to get them started just as rapidly
thereafter as possible, if they do not
get working on that day. There will
be 23S enumerators in this district
when all have been named, but for the
present there are some districts that
have not been filled because there
were no applicants and it is a case
of securing persons to be transferred
to such districts to do the work. All
such pdaces have not yet been taken
care of but they will be named and
announced later.
at is the duty of people every
where to help US make this enumer-
alton an acurate one," said DR.. Barth.
at will be a great satisfaction to the
officials in charge, if each individual
will see to it when the enumeration
calls there is the required information
available. Let US all assist and there
by be able to make a return absolutely
in accord with the facts and one which
will provide dependable information
for anyone using the census reports.
AS the supervisor of this district,
want to urge everyone to help the men
and women who have been named to
collect this data and make it possible
for them to finish their task in the
shortest possible time"
The following have been appointed
enumerators for Valley county:
Willard Lewis, Glasgow.
George Whiting, Glasgow.
Oscar X. Ekre, Valleytown.

Fire starting in manner unknown,
Sunday morning did damage estimat-

covered rolling out of the basement
windows by passerby, who turned in
the alarm. The firemen had to break
into the building, and then were handi-
capped greatly by the dense smoke.
For some time they could not locate
the blaze and several of them were
nearly overcome by smoke.
About an hour prior to the Ward
fire. the home of Harry Gates, 1916
West Main street, was damaged to the
extent of 5000 by fire on the roof.
The flames had made big headway

a good stop and prevented the damage
mounting higher.

S OLDEST MILITARY BODY
Organization of Knights of Windsor,
Still in Existence, Was Founded
by King Edward ~.

The Military Knights Of Windsor Is
the oldest military body in the world,
hbving been founded by Edward III
ffOm the veterans of Crecy and POic-
tiers, originally having had the prefix
"Sir." They are now selected by the
king from the old regular officers Of
the British army.
The Windsor knights are pictur-
esque old gentlemen, their uniforms
consisting Of scarlet coat with gold
epaulets. Their somewhat expansive
waists are lashed round with a GRIM
son sash and they have very dandy
looking cross-belt Of white leather, on
which is a breastplate embossed with
the garter arms, the garter sword
hanging from the belt. There is a
bright crimson stripe on the outside Of
their trousers. Their hats are the
most luxurlant creation Of feathers,
p1umes and cOckades. -.l,,,'. -........
The duties Of these old warriors
are not now very exacting. At one
time they were bound to attend the
chapel of st. George at Windsor twice
day. Their devotional duties were
later reduced to their presence at di-
vine service only once week and on
the birthdays of certain members Of
the royal family. The strength Of the
corps at the present time is only Is,
which consists Of 13 knights Of the
upper foundation and five in the lower.
