BRITISH WAR VETERAN
PRAISES LEGION STAND

Major Arthur de Bles, of the Roy
al British Fusiliers and administra-
tor of the Cologne sector during the
world war, in a recent letter to Al
vim Owsley, national commander Of
the American Legion commending him
on the stand taken by the Legion in
favor Of the French occupation of the
Ruhr valley, compares Germany to
fraudulent bankrupt" Major de
Bles sees the Legion stand as q rap
at the pro-German propaganda going
on in this country. He states in his
letter:
at is with the greatest pleasure
that, as former British administrator
Of Cologne, from December, 1918, to
August, 1919, l see the splendid stand
taken by you, in the name of the
American Legion, against the pro-
German propaganda going on IN this
county at present against the French
action in the Ruhr."
"Your position is absolutely right,
as I know by my own experience, for
which such people as the Germans
there is only one policy, not only
which is efficacious, but which they
understand, and that is the policy OF
force and consistency in enforcing
laws and regulations which have been
laid down."
The British veteran maintains that
the treaty of Versailles was absolute
ly just, and had the Germans been
willing to take their losses, "Hke
good sportsmen," they not only would
have paid their debts, but would have
regained in some degree the respect
of the world.
"To make the matter clearer" he
writes, "if a business man had re-
ceived a judgment against q debtor,
who had obtained days of grace by
his promise to pay, would that man,
should his debtor not keep his word,
allow him to go free, or would be
employ every means at his disposal
to make him pay?
Germany, through her evident lack
of willingness to pay, as evidenced
by her non-taxation, her government
subsidies to all sorts of industries
which were subsidized before, her
fraudulent methods of exporting cap
ital and finally, by the spiriting away
OF books of the great coal syndicate
which would have shown conclusively
the crookedness of her dealings, has
placed herself in the position of a
debtor not only unable to pay, but
using every tricky method to avoid
payment,
"In other words, fraudulent bank
rupt."

sode, but a mere incident for her to
take a string of pack animals and SET

would hesitate to invade except with
the backing of a company of militia
why, that's all right, too, with her.

DAYS

THERE isn't a day in the whole
round year
That isn't a perfect day;
Measured and trued and painted with
gold,
1t glides on Its destined way;
you
A pearl in life's necklace rare,
And 1t hasn't q scar and 1t hasn't Z
Unless you have made 1t there.
The sun cannot shine every day OF
your life, lff
But the soft clouds have their
place;
II all of the hours were a glitter and
shine,
You would weary In each days
race;
For the eyes must behold and the soul
must feel
The peace Of these quiet grays,
That soften the light and refresh our
sight,
After ths burning rays. vi
There IL beauty abundant for sysry
In every day Of the year;
u you cannot see II, you're blind n

For beauty Is ever near; %
Whatever your lot, you may freely
share l.

They are wondrous In worth and

and Best Corn
Show Ever Held in State

(By Dan Noble, Co. Agri. Agent.)
Thirty-nine points, the silver
sweepstakes cup on Marquis wheat,
and the Corn Show for 1924, was
the total of Roosevelt county's prem
iums at the Northern Montana Corn
Show, held at Chinook last week.
Experts who have seen a number
of previous Montana orr shows pro-
enounced this the largest and best
ever held in the state. i
Twenty thousand ears of corr
were in the competition, represent
ing practically all the Northern Mon
tana counties. Every class had a
large number of entries, which meant
that to get in the ribbon class at all,
the exhibit had to be of outstanding
quality.
Valley Wins for Collection
Roosevelt county tied Phillips for
third in the number of corn ribbons
won, while Valley just nosed Cho-
teau out for first place in corn col
%lective competition. The fact that
Choteau's exhibit was of high quail
ity, and took practically everything
at the Great Falls show, caused quite
a little excitement when Valley won
in collective orr.
Earl Coin, the pioneer pure seed
nan of. the county, took the beautl-
full sweepstakes cup away from MI.
Arndt of Glasgow, who held it last
year, for having the best Marquis
wheat in the show.
Ribbon Winners
The following is list of the farm
ers in Roosevelt county to whom the
credit goes for bringing the ribbons:
Harry Skrivan, 4th in Yellow Dent
out of 200 entries.
George Piercy of Bainville won
End in White Flint and Loran Piercy
4th, out of 100 entries.
Jack Forsythe of Culbertson won
4th in Yellow Flint, out of $50 IN
tries, while Joe Mangus of the same
place won End in Mixed Flint. 20

In the Boys Club class, Grant

in White Flint, the boy from

at the State fair.

Besides winning sweepstakes IN
MARQUIS wheat, Earl Coin won the
blue ribbon in registered Victory
oats, CT. 10 flax and 3rd in the open
oats class.
Sid Blair of Culbertson also won
. 3rd in registered Victory oats.
Take it all in all, the show was a
,rand success, and while Roosevelt
county did not win the banner this
rear, it had the best quality of corn
t ever took to a show, and ran UP
as keen competition as will
re met anywhere.

BROWNS JUDGMENT UPHELD

During the county seat trial much
pressure was brought to bear ON
County Attorney Brown to begin
prosecution of a certain person on
the charge of forging a name on the
poll book at the 1922 election. After
a comparison of the alleged forgery
with numerous specimens of the
writing of the person under suspi-
cion, Mr.. Brown and others who ex-
amined the writing did not believe
that the writing was done by the
same person. He therefore natur-
ally declined to start an action until
he was certain of his ground through
the opinion of at least one expert.
Mr.. Brown was quite heatedly
criticized by parties at Poplar at the
time but he declined to lie stamped
ed. A photograph of the signature
on the poll book, and numerous
specimens of the writing of the ac-
cused person were sent TO a hand
writing expert in St. Paul. Mr..
Brown has received the opinion of
the expert which fully justiies the
county attorney in his manner of
procedure. The expert states posi-
lively that the photograph and the
specimens are not the same hand
writing and were not written by
the same person.
The person who signed the poll
book, it is stated, made mo attempt
TO disguise his hand nor to initiate
the writing Of another.
Mr.. Brown displayed excellent
judgment in not rushing into a pros
ecution that would have caused need
less expense to the county and ser
ious trouble to an innocent person.
Absolutely nothing was brought out

THE BAD CHECK HABIT

Howard .Spoonmore, a young man
of %, was convicted at Bozeman of
passing worthless checks, after a
jury trial in district court, and sem
fenced to serve not less than seven
and not more than IA years In the
state penitentiary at Deer Lodge.
At about this time of year the bad
check habit seems to break out with
more people than usual, and indica-
tons point to an epidemic of it IN
this community. Those tempted to
use this method of getting the best
of other people should pause and
take a serious thought on the thing
they are doing. They may get by
for a time, but sooner or later they
will tempt fate once too often. 1t
is far better to turn a creditor down
than to- pay him with a check that
he cannot cash at the bank.
