SOME OF THE DOINGS AT
EASTERN MONTANA FAIR

An. old fashioned "Spell-down" will
be one of the features of the first day
at the Eastern Montana Fair. Three
representatives chosen by each coun.
ty will contest and determine who is
the best speller in this portion of the
state. The spelling match will com.
mence at seven thirty o'clock on
Thursday evening, Sept 18th. at the
congregational Church in Glendive
ad cs1tinue until winner is declared.
Fiy3Ssh prizes will be. offered. and
Adnftfon special prizes for the best
speller in each county. The contest is
limited to the three representatives of
each county selected by the various
County Superintendent.
Many childre have maifested no lit
tie iterest in this contest and the fair
secretary has been kept busy explain
ing the terms of the contest.
lnter-County Relay Race.
Another feature which is arousing
considerable rivalry is the two mile
relay race race between relay strings
or teams, representing the different
counties. This will determine WHICH
county has the fastest running horses

GOOD ROADS DAYS.

Where public funds can not be OBJ
tanned for badly needed jobs of high
way work, the appointment of a
Good Roads Day for volunteer work
is accomplishing wonders in many
places.
For instance the city Of Mineral
Wells, Texas, confronted last fall a
serious situation, in the almost i'm
passible condition of IS mile road
ruined by heavy traffic to oil wells.
Owing to high cost Of labor and
materials, it proved impossible to
put through a project for country
bond issue.
So the local Chamber of Com
merce put over project for Good
Roads Working Day. There turned
out for work, 1871 men, IT'S trucks,
40 teams, three tractors, four grad
ers, six road drags, etc. The work
was systematically organized to fol-
low blue print plans. Where the
road was nearly impossible before.
10 ton loads could use it easily the
next day. This would be fine
scheme for some bad road locations
in Lafayette County.

JUDGE MAHON FOR CONGRESS

We notice among the several can
didates for Congress in the second
district the name Of Judge Hugh
Mahon, now a member of the lower
house of the legislature. While we
are in no way concerned IN the up
per districts representative, we are
sure we will be pardoned for refer
ring to our old friends candidacy.
We have known Hugh Mahon for
nearly twenty years, having served in
the legislature with him sixteen
years ago, where we had a good OPP
portunity to watch his work in that
body. He was one Of the hardest
workers and most conscientious mem
bers at that time, and has kept his
record up to the top notch ever
since. He has also served one term
as Judge of his district, and we un-
derstand he made good in that po-
sition. He is at present one Of the
big members of the legislature. He
has the advantage Of most men for
Congress in that he is largely inter
ested in agriculture and live stock
raising and has made scientific
study of the business for some years,
and is successful, therefore he is
closely allied with the best interests
of his constituents and can serve
them intelligently if he should 60 to
the United States Congress. The
people Of the upper district will
make no mistake in sending Hugh
Mahon to represent them anywhere.

GOOD WORK.

Talking about community spirit,
take the list of things accomplished
by the Merton, Penna., Civic Asso-
citation as follows:
Elimination Of public dumps, plac-
ing Of street litter cans, laying OF
new roadways and improvements OF
old ones, induced property owners to
lay new sidewalks, erection OF 81
road signs, established now and ar
tistic street lamps, removal of old
and disfiguring danger signs and
substituting new and practical ones,
uniform tree planting scheme.
Secured railway station and post
office building, inspired Improvement
of railway station grounds, secured
expert survey Of mosquito breeding
places and minimized mosquito pest,
established and financed war gar
dens for people of moderate in
comes, etc, etc.
Merton is a town of some 1,50O
people, and many cities of 10 and 70
| times it's size can not show an equal
record of things done. In it's story
of achievement are good suggestions
for the civic workers of Oxford.

THE BURDENED COURTS.

The suit to dissolve the United
States Steel Corporation was enter
ed in the New Jersey courts in 1911.
1t was temporarily set aside two
wears ago, on account of the war.
A final decision has just now been
rendered. Had there been no in
terluption, the decree could not have
come in much less than eight years
from the time the suit started.
It would help straighten out the
tangled business situation, if such
litigation, which must more or less
upset corporate affairs, could be
closed up with less delay. Also
prompt decisions would facilitate the
consideration of new economic legis-
lation.
The courts can not be blamed for
the delay, as they are overburdened
with work. Too many suits of min
or Importance are sent up to the
higher courts.
The United States courts should
have a sufficient number of Judges
so that these suits so vitality affect
ing economic progress, shall be put
through promptly.
Many people would say, when a
case is of such great Importance
that delay should not be created by
putting it through the lower courts.
Yet the higher courts may feel they
can give better verdict if the is
sues are first thoroughly debated by
lower tribunal.
But if they are cases that start in
state court. then go on to the lower
federal courts, and then to the U. S.
Supreme Court, it would seem that
the route of justice is too long and
should be shortened.
Justice in great national issues
like the steel suit depends upon the
U. S. Supreme Court, the time of
which should be kept free for funda-
mental issues. 1t is a wonderful
judicial body, with a marvellous re-
cord for decisions based on. common
sense as well as law. But it is ham,
pered by the burden of too much
work.

NO MORE FREE DOPE.

The Oxford Eagle has been liberal
for the past three years in giving
away valuable space. In fact it has
been too liberal for it's own good,
The Eagle has donated space to
the Government, to the Army and
Navy, to Red Cross, Y. M. G. A, y.
w. C. A, United War Work, Saliva
ton Army, and God knows what
else, free. In fact the Southern
Pine Association, Federal Reserve
Bank, Meat Packers, and may be a
few other concerns, send in tnelr
propaganda to be doped out to the
people at our expense.
We have drawn the line on any
more Gree Dope" If you ride, you
must pay-we are not running an
accommodation train. Our rate Is
only ten cents per line for reading
matter; one cent per word for obltu-
aries or classified.
Our display advertising rates, at
present, are Is cents per inch Tor
plates furnished, or 30 cents per
inch when we do the composition.
This rate will be Increased on June /,
1920, when our rate for display adj
yertising will be % cents per inch
for plates furnished, or 33 1-3 cents
per inch where we do the compo-
sition.
The cost of white print paper is
more than four times as high as it
was three years ago. Labor is pro
hibitive in price, and competent help
cannot be had.
These problems must be met, and
in order to continue the publication
of the Eagle, general advance in
the price of advertising space is
necessary.
The subscription price, will remain
at $500 per year unless paper
reaches $500 per ton. If it goes to
that price, the subscription price of
the paper will have to be advanced
to $3.50 per year. We trust that
we will not have to advance oul
subscription rate for some time to
come.

HIGH COST OF PRINTING.

While the printing profession or
trade has been very poorly paid for
many years, the high cost Of living
is forcing printers and publishers to
charge more for their work than ever
before.
As rule the country publisher has
been looked upon as kind Of joke,
or object of charity. They were few
and far between who could pay their
grocery and other bills promptly;
they had no credit. OF course there
were exceptions to this rule. It was
ALI because they did not charge half
enough for their services they did
too much free work. They did not
charge enough for their advertising
or job printing.
Today they realize this fact. But
they are not placing fair value on
their services now. Advertising rates
are too low. Space in country news
paper should bring at least so cents
per inch per thousand circulation.
Every printer in the country is over
worked and under paid. Proprietors
of weekly newspapers ae now doing
their own work, most of them. Help
cannot be had because the publisher
cannot afford to pay the printer more
than the shop earns.
A gentleman called lat our office
recently and had small job of print
ing done. The work had to be done
on over, time, as it was rush order.
When the bill was presented he show
ed that he thought we were profiteer-
ing on him. He said that we had
charged him more than twice what
he had been used to paying for a SINH
lar job. He said that he could have
gotten it cheaper at another shop.
Possibly he could have gotten the
job some cheaper at some other shop.
We pay our printers moe money
than the aveage proprietors of small
print shops make. We reminded him
that We were paying more than four
times more for paper and labor than
we used to pay.
AS publishes, we have got to set
the value on our services ourselves
the public is not going to do it.
When a fair and just value has
been established on the cost Of print
ing a newspaper, then the editor
can pay his bills promptly, and pay
his printers living wage. He can
get out on time and give his readers
creditable newspaper.

INFANT MORTALITY.

During 1918 in this country 1885,,
900 babies died in the first six weeks
after birth. Here is tremendous
waste Of potential energy. Much of
the vitality of the nation went into
those tiny little lives. This loss
brought infinite sorrow, and is a
blight on the life Of the nation.
Practically all these deaths were
preventable. The Federal Children's
Bureau is trying to obtain legislation
that will popularize knowledge Of
how the lives Of infant children can
be saved, and will help provide prop
er care for mothers unable to have
it.
# the county will spend half as
much money on saving its babies, as
it spends On hog breeding, the great
er part Of this sorrow and waste can
be SAVED.
