PLAN TO CURB D4vORcEs
Suggests Two Weeks Notice of Con-
tensplated Nuptials

A suggestion has been put forward
by some Of the prominent members
Of the legal profession In this state
for the solution Of the divorce pro-
.blem. It Is that all persons contem-
plating marriage be forced to give
public notice Of two weeks before the
ceremony takes place.
This matter will be presented to
representatives In the legislature with
the suggestion that 1t be introduced
at the next session. 1t Is thought
that this will do away with many Of
the hasty and secret marriages,
which so often result in domestic In
felicity later on

MAKES IT HARD ON TEACHERS
Conflict Of Dates on Teachers Asso-
citation and Exams Just Noticed

Conflict Of Dates ON Teachers AssO-
citation and Exams Just Noticed
A letter from +. L. Pinet, secre-
tary Of the Kansas State Teachers
Association to Miss Mary e. Wool
verton. county superintendent, states
that conflict in the dates Of the
meetings Of the teachers associa-
tions has been found and cannot be
corrected. This will mean that be-
tween 25 and 35 teachers In the c0un-
ty beside Miss Woolverton and all
other county superintendents in the
state, will be unable to attend.
Mr.. Pinet's letter follows:
Late in August It was discovered
that there is a conflict between the
dates Of the X. s. T. A. meetings at
Topeka, Hays. Independence and
Hutchinson on Oct. 20, 20 and 80 and
the dates Of, the October county teach
ers' examinations. As the X. 8. T.
A. had contracted for nearly $4,000
worth Of platform talent for October
%, 20 and 80 and as a number Of
these contracts would permit no al
teration Of date. 1t was impossible for
the K. 8. T. A. to change its dates.
At the meeting Of the Board Of d.
rectors Of the X. 8. T. A. on Sept.
10 the matter was gone over and the
state superintendent was asked TO
provide a special examination date
later so as to relieve the situation,
but this the state superintendent de-
clined to do. In view Of the fact
that the number Of teachers who
must take this examination is small
In most counties 1t is hoped that the
conflict will not materially affect the
at the K. 8. T. A. from
your county. You may be sure that |
hereafter precautions WIN be taken |
% prevent such a conflict Of dates.

BOOSTING FOR COUNTY AGENT


A. G. Slime, the well known Weldon
rancher came down on business trip
yesterday, and among other things
came down to boost the question of
county agricultural agent for McCone
County.
Mr.. Sine took the matter up with
the county board and they agreed to
engage an agent for this county pro-
viding the sentiment of the people in
the county is in favor of it. 1t will be
remembered that this was done once
before. at the time of voting on the
seed bond issue but at that time very
little interest was taken in the mat
ter. However Mr. Slime thinks there
are a large number of people in faV-
or of it and is sending out number
of petitions to various parts of the
county to get signers in favor of the
of the proposition, and the petitions
will likely be presented to the county
board at their next meeting.

GETTING REFINED oil BY
THE BUCKET FROM WELL
: IN MccoNE COUNTY

The whole country is interested -
the oil question and any rumors OF
the possibility of there being oil in
this vicinity are to be heard Many
of these are nothing but rumors and
have little foundation in actual fact.
One of the most plausible rumors is
one which was heard a few days ago
and was told by farmer living on
the south side. I
Some three years ago this man
whose name is not being told, de-
cided to dig well on his farm. Az
went well until they had reached a
debth of about eighty feet. Tnen
they struck some kind Of shale or
rock and through some cracks IN IT
there oozed out kind Of heavy sub
stance that resembled soap. 1t came
so fast that the well had to be
abandoned. A pail was filed with
this substance and this was examin-
ed, but seemed to be nothing but
further was thought about it.
During the harvesting season this
farmer ran out of oil and hunted all
over the place for empty oil cans.
thinking that he might find some
that might contain some oil and he
be spared the trip to town during
the busy season. He searched the
place over and in the course 81 his
search came across the pail IilleG
with the stuff he had baled cut OF
the bottom of the well he had dug
earlier in the year, which In the
meantime had caved in and been
abandoned. The stuff looked sreasy
and so it was tried as substitute
for oil. 1t seemed to work all right
and the whole pail was used up that
fall for lubricating machinery on the
place.
Nothing further was thought of
the occurrence until the interest in
oil began to be shown last fall. The
incident has been told to one of the
business men of this city as s7e OF
those peculiar things that hssppe4a.
once in a while This man as well
as others, believe that the substance
this farmer baled from the bottom of
the well and which was later used
20 oil the farm machinery. must have
been crude oil. 1t would seem to
prove that there is oil in the country
md that the pressure from below
must be strong At all events the oc-
currence is an interesting one and
las been the subject of much con-
lection on the part of all who have
heard of it.

VIDA TERRITORY ASSURED
OF PHONE SERVICE

That the south country will get
some of the improvements which it
needs very much, seems to be an as
sured fact. John Green, of Vida, has
been working the past week on plans
for organizing telephone company
to connect Wolf Point with Vida and
has met with great deal of en-
couragement.
1t is proposed to form company
with a capitalization of fifteen
thousand in shares of fifty dollars
each, this corporation to build, own
and operate the telephone line. The
plans call for toll line to extend to
Vida and later on will be built to
Circle, should this become necessary.
1t has not been decided as to where
the most suitable place for crossing
the Missouri would be, at Wolf Point,
or at the old Macon Crossing. There
are certain features of the latteer
crossing that would seem to COM
mend it to the company. 1t is plan
ned to make the line a two-wire one
which would insure the very best of
service between terminals. 1t is esti-
mated that the line would cost close
to $175.00 per mile, or in the neigh
borhood of fifty five hundred for the
completed line with switchboard.
The proposed line would be toll
line and there would be but two or
three points on the between here and
Vida where toll stations would be in
stalled. But the company plans
on cooperating with the farmers in
the territory through which they ex-
pect to run their lines. Thus it
would be possible for the farmers lines
the various farms to be
built and these could again get in
touch with the cities through the
given them at Vida. In
this way the whole country would
be benefited by the line to be built.
Some years ago a line was started
between here and the south country
and there are We few poles
rmaining on the fiat on the south |
side of the Missouri. These are not |
the property of the new company, in |
fact the company has nothing at all |
70 do with any former attempt at |
line out of Wolf Point and
% the south. 1t is a new under
.aking that Mr.. Green is launching |
md one that seems sure to be carried
)ut as planned, if the enthusiasm and
he vigor with which it is being push
I'd is any guarantee of success. The
south country is showing it's interest
n the substantial block of stock that
las been taken by one of the large
BUSINESS concerns in that thriving
ection. The same interest shown by
he business men of the city will be
ure to make the company a reality.
)f its success when launched there

LATE SPRING DELAYS FARMING

The unsettled weather conditions
the past couple weeks have delayed
farming operations and it is now 60
ing to be late spring after all by
looks of things. To top it off we are
having some more snow this morning,
and at this writing the ground is
already covered.
In spite of the scarcity of seed
grain there is going to be larger
acreage seeded in this county than
was anticipated some time back
Most farmers are going to stick even
though the past couple years have not
been of the best, because they realize
that this country is bound to make
good in the long run. They're going to
farm less, but better, plant more corn
and milk more cows, and in that way
make good.
