FORMATION OF COUNTY
FAVORED BY PEOPLE
Sun River County to be Formed From
Portions of Lewis and Clark
and Teton.

That campaign will be waged with
the organization of Sun River county
as it's object is now a certainty.
This decision has been reached by
the promoters after careful canvas
of the territory. Without question a
large majority of the people favor
this movement and it is believed that
Sun River county will go over with a
large majority.
Recent meetings have been we'll at
tended and enthusiastic. Statisticians
have been busy compiling figures
which prove beyond question that the
smaller counties have a lower rate
of taxation than the older and larger
ones and that the smaller units of gov
ernment are by far the most economic
These facts lend encouragement to
the promoters.-Augusta News.

honored to pay simple and loving
tribute to the American unknown SOL

Later the casket was placed in the
rotunda of the city hall, which was
decorated with American flowers and
flags. The casket was draped in an
American flag, the only flowers on it
being the little boquet placed there
b.. Sergeant Younger.
Four bodies Of unidentified Ameri-
can soldiers who fell in the World
War were brought to the city hall in
preparation for the simple ceremony.
One body came from each of the four
permanent American cemeteries in
France-Romangne, Triaucourt, Bony
and Belleau Wood.
An American army truck brought
the bodies to Chalous where French
guard of honor, composed of poilus
who saw action, took the coffins and
carried them from the public square
to a little room in the city hall where
thousands of residents looked on, si-
lently and uncovered. French soldiers
rendered military honors. The coffins
are of plain wood, draped with the
American flag.
Non-commissioned officers from
Coblenz stood guard last night in a
dimly lighted room, while in an out
side room the French guard of honor
took up positions.
The people of Chalons brought flow
ers and heapeds them at the foot of
the coffins. There were sad scenes
when the French war widows came to
pay final tribute to the American dead.
The other three bodies will be re-
inferred in Romagne cemetery.

logg and Nelson, Minnesota; Norbeck

tinguished from "unearned" income
be per cent and the rate on the Sec
ond $4,000 per cent with the rate on

After the Gerry amendment had
been defeated, Senator Lenroot, Re-
publican, Wisconsin, put into the rec,

would aid men of large incomes to a
greater degree than it would those
with small or moderate incomes and
that the increased exemptions to heads
of families and on account of depend
ents proposed to be granted would re.

ing $4,000 or less in proportion to the
reductions granted the surtax rates

RANCHERS PLAN ice
GLACIER IN CANYON
Plan is to Pipe Water From Lake and
Freeze Spray During Winter for
Irrigation Purposes.

Stevensville, Oct. 27-The ranchers
at the mouth of Sweeny creek have
combined to experiment on the novel
plan of building an immense ice glacier
in the canyon and in this manner con-
serve the supply of water for irriga-
ton during the dry months of the
summer.
According to c. E. Mathews, who is
secretary of the organization, there is
a strong belief that the plan will work
successfully and he states that it is the
full intention to carry the experiment
far enough to make thorough test.
At meeting last week of the
Sweeny creek water users, Aaron
Krump was named chairman, Mr.
Mathews, secretary, and J. E. Thill,
treasurer. 1t was voted to proceed
at once to purchase a sufficient sup
ply of gas pipe to tap one of the larg-
est of the mountain lakes which are
situated close to the head of the can
yon. The water from this lake will
be carried through the pipe which is
to be laid upon trusses and carried
out till it has reached a considerable
elevation from the bottom of the can
yon. A spray is then attached and
the water allowed to run thus through
the cold weather of the winter.
It is stated that in this manner a
mountain of ice can be made in the
course of a few months and that it
will melt gradually in the spring ano
supply an ever increasing water sup.
ply as the dry weather approaches ir
the summer.
Mr.. Mathews states that this exper.
iment will not be an expensive one
and that it is believed it will be more
satisfactory than the lake reservoir
The experiment will be watched with
interest.

PROSECUTION OF PARENT
FAVORED BY MISS TRUMPER

Miss May Trumper, state superin-
tendent of public instruction, is en-
phatically in favor of prosecution of
parents who take their children from
school to work in the harvest fields
or do other labor.
In an interview Miss Trumper spoke
of the action of Miss Jennie Moore,
county superintendent of schools of
Saltwater county who induced the Of
ficials to bring proceedings against
eight persons for keeping their chill
dren out of school.
"a vigorous effort is being made
by all of the county superintendent
of the state to gather children ir
school,, Miss Trumper said. "Not al
of the poor attendance in the state
has been due to inability of children
to reach school, but it is a we'll known
fact that much non-attendance could
be avoided if parents were always
awake to the value Of an education
and the Importance Of having their
children in school every day.
"This campaign for good attend
ance has resulted in number of ar
rests in several of the best growing
counties where it has become an
annual practice of some of the par
ents, particularly of foreign descent
to keep their children out of school
until after the season of gathering the
beets has passed. A vigorous attempt
is being made to put stop to this
practice and to impress upon the minds
Of such parents that their children are
entitled to just as good advantages
as any other children and that we eX.
pect to make just as good citizens OF
them. Consequently we insist that
they comply with the law which COM
pels al children between the ages of
eight and 16 years, unless they have
completed the eighth grade, to be in
school the full time school is in ses-
sion.
"In Saltwater county last week the
county superintendent of schools haC
eight men arrested for the offense OF
keeping children out of school to work
in the beet fields. She has had the
support of Judge Hansford in enforc.
ing the law. Fines and suspended jai
sentences were imposed upon the con.
dition that children were kept in schoo
regularly.
at is important that some parents
need to have the best interests of thei,
children impressed upon their minds
in this way, but it seems it is the only
course to pursue where children are
being deprived not only of an educa
tion but also in many instances ser
ious injured physically by overwork
1t is not uncommon to see little chill
dren only eight years old, working
hard all day in the beet fields. W.
protect this child in the cities from
too difficult work, but have permitted
all too long the child on the farm tt
do labor far beyond his strength.
at is hoped more county superin
tendents will take the vigorous actio,
of the county superintendent Mis-:
Jennie Moore, of Saltwater county.

rail SITUATION
STILL In DOUBT
Conference Adjourned Late Thursday
without Agreement; Meeting Will
be Continued.

Chicago, Oct. 27-The meeting Of
the leaders of the ''big five" rail unions
at which it was hoped the strike order
for a walkout October 80 would be
cancelled was forced to adjourn at
sos p. m. Thursday without action
because the conference hall had been
rented to other parties for the night.
Committees Immediately were sent out
to take new quarters. The conference
between committees of union men and
members of the labor board disbanded
at the same time.
"The situation is absolutely un-
changed for we have done nothing"
said w. S. Stone, head of the engineers
as he came out of the conference room.
Noon passed with the "big five''
union executives in long executive
conference on possibilities of strike
settlement. Ben w. Hooper of the
Railroad Labor board was before the
conference presenting what he describ-
ed as "vague possibility" for settle
ment.
The Railroad Labor board meanwhile
marked time, with a meeting of it's
members scheduled for the afternoon,
with the question of whether it should
issue an order forbidding the strike
or attempt court action as among the
possibilities for it's settleemnt.
When Mr.. Hooper of the Railroad
Labor board left the conference of
the 'big five" union executives short
ly after noon he said that a strike
settlement had not been reached.
Terms of the Railroad Labor boards
final ruling on the strike, if the board
decides one shall be necessary, as
discussed Thursday informally by
members Of the board, brought out
these salient points:
THAT the impending walkout must
not be called.
2-That the walkout, if called, will
be in violation of the transportation
act and in rebellion against decision
number lat, the July wage cut made
by the board.
3-That the board will regard the
strike, if called for any other reason
than dissatisfaction with the July ]
decision as evidence of conspiracy tc
paralyze transportation"
The board holds it would be con.
trary to court decisions; that the
Fright to strike" exists only where the
strike is called upon the grounds helc
| first in tho strike ha11otc
4-That members of the "big five
and telegraphers unions remain a
work and rely upon the board to safe
guard their interests from further en-
croachment possibly contemplated b,
| the roads.
"I was not sent by the board, but
went of my own volition," Mr.. Hope,
said, in explaining his visit to the
meeting. 81 still believe the only
basis of settlement is the resolution
adopted by the board the other day.
The resolution referred to urged
the men to call off the strike and give
the board chance to act on all wage
and rule changes that may be brought
before it.
Mr.. Hooper said the only thing hi
desired to bring before the meeting
was the copy of the resolutions passet
by the board.
The union meeting broke up sool
after Mr.. Hooper left, with an an
nouncement that the five organization
would hold separate meetings later.

HEALTH.

Now 1 reckon that health Is the richest
possession that ever a mortal can own.
With health in his kingdom, life's bur
dens are little and he can give battle
alone;
He can rise to his day,
Let It bring what it may,
With only one thought In his mind,
With never a doubt
That his strength will hold out,
And never a fear left behind.
Give health to man and the ones he loves
best, and be will go fit to the task.
He'll stand to the brunt and the heat OF
the strife and little Of mercy he'll ask;
The odds may be great
But outstanding and straight
He'll meet them and fight to the end,
And meath gray skies or blue,
He will see the day thru
And take what the fortunes may send.
But let him have riches in silver and gold.
and let the world bow to his viii,
And barren his days are OF pleasure and
charm If he or loved one is III;
Then heavy of heart
He will play his poor part
And his gold will not cause him to smile,
For Of all the worlds wealth
The best treasure is health,
And without it there's nothing worth while.
