Recover Work of Art
from Rubbish Pile

Miles City, Dec 6.-Probably one
of the most valuable works Of art in
Miles City at the present time is a
reconstructed Chinese vase now at the
store of the Berg Decorating compa-
ny.
The recent history Of the vase is
somewhat unique. Mr.. Berg, ST.,
found it broken in fragments while
doing some work at a house from
which a farmily had just moved out
The broken bits were lying In the
cellar and apparently the party who
left them considered them mere rub
Dish.
Mr.. Berg carried off the pieces
from the abandoned house and tried
putting them together. Like the mar
who tried to put binder together
without map, he found when he hac
finished he had enough pieces left ov'
er to start another vase. So he tore
the thing apart again and tried agar
and while it was a regular Chinese
puzzle, he managed to get the ans
wer and the vase, which stands about
four feet high, is now complete, ane
is valued at in the neighborhood OF
$500.

THANK THELORDi

Only twenty-three days left before
there will be change in the board
of county commissioners.
There was time when Editor Hier
was a hundred per center, all wool
and a yard wide, when he looked upon
anyone who said word about the
way things were going in Roosevelt
county, or Sheridan county or any
where else in Montana as an enemy
of his country and strongly tainted
with pro- Germanism and later Bolshe-
vism, and insisted that he could not
find anything to criticize with high
power specks on Now HER finds vice
laying about in huge gobs. We are
glad that he has at last seen the light,
even at this late date, when it is too
late to stop the graft and thievery and
do the taxpayers any good. So many
people seem to understand when it is
too late to prevent and the evidence
of intention is so clear that the simpl-
est boob can understand and see it. In
the near future, there is going to be
a chance to break the keystone Of the
arch of skulduggery in Northeastern
Montana, and we wonder if Editor
HER will assist Or whether he will
when the showdown comes, stand pat
with the cold gang" just as he always
has done. Time will disclose the
sincerity of Editor HER.

PERSHINC DEMANDS
SUPPRESSION OF
RADICAL PLEAS

Chicago, Dec. 12.-General John J.
Pershing wound up a busy day in
Chicago tonight by sending broadcast
through the air a demand for the
suppression Of radicals, a plea for
more patriotism and 8 stronger army
to defend the United States.
He gave the same speech earlier in
the day at patriotic luncheon OF the
association Of commerce, and brought
1900 men and women TO their feet

Small had ''besmirched the fair name

L. A. Brown of Froid, who will as

On January list we have election
again in Archer. This election will
be for mayor of Archer. We have
three candidates who are: Chas. Mar
kell, Neils Madsen and Fred Kerum-
gard. 1t is up to the people of
Archer to vote for the man they
think is best qualified for the job, as
it is necessary that Archer gets a
real mayor, and more SO at this time
as the l. w. VS. and other rough
necks are getting to fresh in Archer.
1t is plainly seen and heard that
there is card playing, such games as
whist and rummy and not long ago
we heard young man swear when
he thought it was necessary. If this
isn't put a stop to the young folks
will soon be playing checkers. And
the worst is that this is allowed to go
on in broad daylight. Following are
the recommendations of the different
candidates: Chas. Markell is man
who homesteaded in the Archer
country many years ago and is a
retired farmer who now lives in
Archer. He is well acquainted with
the conditions in Archer and would
be a good man for the job. Neils
Madsen who is and has been the man.
ager of the Y. M. C. A. for more than
year, is we'll qualified for the
job. He is clean cut man and is al
ways ready to do what is right and
he is we'll liked by all who know him.
Fred Kerumgaard is the labor can
didate. He is a man that has always
stood by the laboring men and women
of the country and has always tried
his best to see that the laboring mer
and women get square deal. Here
is good luck to all of you candidates
but we all know only one can be
elected.

Russian Schools
Not Improved

Moscow, Sept. l3.-Russian chill
dren have started a new school year
with little prospect Of better con-
ditions than they endured during the
revolution.
In the Siberian district the in
dcbtedneSs of the government TO the
teachers for salaries has reached the
sum OF over S5,O00,00O000 rubles.
says a recent report to the district
Soviet. This is a mere fraction OF
the total amount due to instructors
in salaries In some districts teach
ers have not been paid for many
months, and the officials have even
ceased to keep account of the arrears.
The lot Of Russian school teachers
has been hard one. In the villages
they have been somewhat better
cared for than in the cities because
the peasants have taxed themselves
to contribute to the necessary eX-
penses; have themselves cut wood
for the school fuel, and have repaired
many school houses. In the cities the
schools have been left TO govern
mental care. AS a result of these
conditions many teachers are turning
70 other means of earning living.
The plan of the Communists for
free and unified school system is
having hard shedding. Decree after
decree has been passed fort idding
the collection of fees from parents
for their children's education. but
local school authorities from time to
time make assessments" upon par
ents for the various expenses in
yolvcd in maintaining the schools.
