The local retail price of Broadus
flour the past week was reduced 80
cents to $4.25 for a SS-pound sack.
due to the decline in the wheat mar
ket quotations.
The Broadus flour is maintaining its
satisfied Gust mers and new cnes are
being added almost daily. The sup

appeared that temporary shutdown
would be necessary but on Monday 100
sacks arrived to relieve the shortage
and assurances were received that an.

PETTY TH|EvERy
HURTING COUNTRY

William c. McClintock of Miles City
writes a Broadus party as follows:
"One of the small factors which go
to make up the things which will hurt
the credit of the farmers and land
owners in eastern Montana is the petty
larceny that gees on with fences and
buildings on vacant land.
''The eastern investor who IS unfor-
tunate enough to make poor loan
and get stuck with the land. finds that
Il good part of his security was in
buildings and improvements, which
which scme of the neighbors have de-
stroycd or moved away. Naturally.
when someone else in that community
asks for renewal Of farm loan or
a new loan, he does not feel justified
in putting his money out.
."rhe National Farm Loan associa-
tion will find the same depreciation in
their securities as will the state Of
Montana. 1t seems to me that the
farmers would realize that they can
not tolerate that sort Of dishc nesty in
their neighborhoOd. 1t is all very well
to sit back and laugh at the idea that
the farm mortgage CRATER has been
robbed Of building, but when that
same thievery effects our own credit
and makes US pay a higher rate CT in
terest for small loan. it Is not quite
so funny. This ia one Of the things
| where / believe the farmers cooper.
alton can accomplish something.
"In the old days. the livestock me,
| have found that it was necessary t.
! combine to prevent rustling. Durint
this year, we have seen 4 lot Of petit,
| rustling started and it was a joke tt
sec that some nonresident was hav
ing his calves stolen, but the last few
months has seen a change in this an,
stockmen are showing their wisdom
in combining to wipe out the rustlers
| 1T used to be the boast Of Montan,
in the old days that a man could leav
his house door unlocked: in fact, h
was considered poor citizen who. di
not do so. Do the new settlers wis

RELIGIOUS SERVICES
WITHOUT MINISTER

Sunday religious services without
the presence Of an ordained minister
will be an experiment to be tried by
Brcadus starting with next Sunday
evening. The suggestion was advanced
by Rev. MINER H. Johnson Of Billings.
Congregational church organizer Of
Montana on the occasion Of his visit
tcs this community last Saturday and
Sunday. He gave the assurance that
a minister would be appointed to the
Broadus parish as soon as possible.
but pending this action Compunity
Church club could be organized to
have jurisdiction ever Sunday religious
services.
Practically everyone was In accord
with the idea and the club was organ
ized with the election CT officers as
follows: President, j. /. Westphal;
vice president, Mrs. A. W. Heidel: sec
retary-treasurer, b. W. Peterson class
leader, d. F. DeI.ap. Program COM
mittee-D. F. DeLap, Mrs. H. r.. Cook,
Mrs. L. II. Warren. Miss Ethel SUM
mers. ]. ID. Williams.
The first meeting Of the club will be
held next Sunday evening at the high
school building, starting promptly at
1880 O'clock, and OF course, the public
in general Is welcome. a considerable
part of the hour will be devoted to
singing. The lesson topic for discuss
SIGN will be 1.-The Christian Endeavor
Evangelist Everybody is cordially
invited to attend and lend a hand to-
ward making every meeting WORTH
while.
The club has decided to adopt for
study a book entitled, Serving the
Neighborhc od." divided into six chap
ters, as follows: "The Church-a
Neighboring Institution, "Home- e-mak-
ing Christian Calling" Education
Through Play" Community Civics."
some Successful Churches Two
dozen books were ordered and the
class will begin the study as soon as
they arrive.
Rev. Johnson arrived here Saturday
evening and held a service at the high
school building. but the attendance
was not as expected owing to few
knowing Of the meeting. On Sunday
morning Rev. Johnson was greeted by
a large crowd of youngsters and adults
in their regular Sunday school service
and following this fair size crowd
was present at church services. Rev.
Johnson spoke chiefly on what was be-
ing dcne by the Congregational church
throughout Montana. Among other
projects, $4,000 is being raised by
subscription, $4,000 of which is to be
used for missionary work and the re-
naming $1,000 for the erecticrssef a
church at Missoula principally for the
benefit Of university students. The
Broadus parish has been requested to
assist in raising this fund and it has
| already pledged about $4,000 for that
purpose.

FIRST VOLUNTEER
ROAD WORK HERE

Page Charley Lewis OF Broadus as
the first volunteer in road work with
out compensation. There was no petit
tion circul ated by him and there was
no Organization back of him; neither
was he fmpel1ed to do the work with
promise OF some reward or pecuniary
gain. He had Ion gbeen aware of the
abOmfnable condition of the road from
the Big Powder river bridge to
BrOadus for he had heard numerous
complaints and had himself bumped
over the sandy chuck holes, an expert
ence Of itself that was offered as a
sure cure for appendicitis.
And Lewis tCo was we'll aware Of
the depleted condition of the county
road fund which precl uded any repair
work. So IN Tuesday morning after
the rain and snow the road was IN
fair condition for dragging. Lewis
himself has his time fully occupied
almost day and night with the local
hostelry and so he pays q man to dc,
chores at the ranch. Glenn Yarger is
kept on the Jump there doing routine
work and odd jobs but on Tuesday
forenoon it seems that was a prospect
Of him and his teams having a few
leisure hours. And it was rather a
coincidence, too, that the condition of
the road was ripe for dragging. How
sCever the two conditions were oppor-
tune and as Lewis could not forsake
his work at the hotel he magnani-
mously transferred Yarger to the road
work. borrowing n drag from the
county. His secret did net last for
long for travellers over the road re-
ported what he was having done on
his own initiative but for the benefit
Of the public veal. Due to the pro-
tracted dry spell this read had been
demoralized with holes and sand that
made it almost impossible. A few
hours labor r-instated it in fairly
good condition.
Lewis lead in thus improving the
roads is to be commended and his ex-
ample is cne that must be emulated
everywhere In the county for year
il the roads are to be kept in shape.
Sending the substitute at his own ex-
pense is the same as doing the work
himself There are no available coun-
ty FUNDS for even the necessary re-
pair of county roads and t is prCb-
able such financial condition will OBJ
tain for the next year.

SMALL BuNcN OF RANGE
HORSES NOT WORTH TAXES

Rather than invoke legal machinery
for the collection of county taxes
against bunch of common. range
horses, County Treasurer ]. \. Wilson
is allowing them to leave the county
unnolcsted. The horses could be I'M
tcrcepted but their upkeep would be
at county expense and should it be
necessary tc' sell them at public auc-
ton it is probable Powder River coun-
ty would be the sole bidder for there
is no demand for such horse flesh.
The horses in question are owned
by Monroe of Ekalaka and are being
moved there from Big Powder river
by young man named Miller. Orig
inally there We're IS head of horses
brought here three years ago. but now
only 81 head are being taken out. AS
sessed against Monroe fer the Is head
Of horses was about $50 in county
entire number and probably an increase
were being moved from the county
without payment of taxes. County
Treasurer Wilson on Tuesday commis-
stoned NJ. T. Wiley to investigate and
endeavor to collect the $50 in taxes
There was nc explanation for the
deficit Of A. missing head.
While no one win regret the NOV.
ing of this bunch Of range horses
from the county without payment o,
taxes 1t does not establish preceden,
fer had Monroe owned other propert,
in the county the taxes would have
been transferred thereon but in thi.
particular instance the range horse,
were all the property owned in thi'
county by Monroe and to collect thu
$40 for taxes would involve more thar
that sum in county expense.
