Pork chops are popular supper
dish, because they are both cheap and
easy to prepare; but let US be sure
that they are thoroughly cooked; that
sharp, succulent foods are served with
them, and let's serve them in new ways
occasionally to keep them from becom-
ing monOtonous.
Here are several suggestions:
CHOPS ORIENTAL.
Scar half a dozen pork chops on
both sides and place them in cas-
serolc. Cover them with sliced or
canned tomatoes, little thinly sliced
onion and a bit of minced green pep
per. Add three cups Of hot water
cover and bake in n moderate even
two and a half hours at 375 degrees
Fahrenheit.

The first fixed and official day of Thanksgiving
was held in the year 1865. In the old public records
of the court of Connecticut we find the following
order which the court issued on October IL, 1865,
appointing 9 day of general thanksgiving
This court doth appoint solemn day of
Thanksgiving to be kept throughout this colony on
the last Wednesday Of November, to return praise
to God for his great mercy to us in the continuation
Of our liberties and privileges both Civil and Eccle-

FEDERAL AID MAY
IMPROVE ROBERTS
ROCKVALE HIWAY

Commissioner John 7. Kelly and
0. H. P. Shelley, secretary of the
Beartooth Boosters Club, returned
from Helena yesterday noon where
they met with the State Highway
Commission Tuesday, to take up the
matter of securing Federal Aid to
complete the highway from Roberts to
Rockville. The action of sending a
representative body to meet with the
commission was taken at a special
meeting of the Board of County Com
missioners Saturday. All of the board
and Mr.. Shelley were authorized to
make the trip to Helena but on ac-
count of Commissioners Convery and
Gard being unable to go only Mr..
Kelly and Mr.. Shelley represented the
commission from Carbon County.
Mr.. Kelly, on his return, stated
that it was good thing Carbon coun-
ty took prompt action on the matter
for the reason that representative of
several of the other counties of the
state appeared before the Highway
Commission, requesting the compile
ton of roads in the counties first.
A large delegation appeared before
the Commission pertaining to road
matters in reference to the entrance
to Yellowstone Park at West Yellow
stone. The delegation was informed
by the Commission that their plans
were not completed but after the next
meeting some general policy would be
outlined.
The delegation from Carbon county
was very much encouraged. They did
not wait for the Commission to work
out plan, but submitted a plan to the
Highway Commission whereby the
road from Roberts to Rockville could
be completed, one of the first projects
of the state. The Commission looked
upon the plan very favorably and they
agreed to take the matter up with the
Attorney General for an opinion at
once.
A movement is on foot to recheck all
the mileage in Montana with view Of
getting new seven percent certifca-
ton. When the Highway Act was
passed there were only $4,000 miles OF
road certified. 1t is estimated there
is double that amount at the present
time. The counties Of the state art

ITALIAN GIRLS TO
GIVE community
DANCE DECEMBER |

A community dance will be given at
the Labor Temple Hall Wednesday
night, December by the Italian Girls
Victory Club for the Beartooth Boost
ers Club, the purpose being to assist
in the expense of sending a represen-
tative to Washington, ID. C. early in
December in the interest of the Red
Lodge-Cooke City road
At a meeting of the governing
board of the Beartooth Boosters Club
it was decided that all of the people of
this community would be given an OPP
portunity to assist in raising the
necessary funds to defray the expens-
es of the representative by giving a
dance. 1t is expected that many people
will welcome this opportunity to make
their contribution toward this most
worthy enterprise, the burden Of which
has been borne by the business men.
Each person buying ticket will thus
edo his bit" and be given an evening
of social entertainment, if he attends
the ball.
The Victory Girls, who have put on
several successful dances in the past,
kindly consented to take charge of the
dance and will sell the tickets. The
business people of this community
have contributed literally in the past
and it is hoped that all other citizens
will donate their bit through the pur-
chase of ticket. The tickets will sell
at one dollar per couple and admission
for each extra lady will be twenty five
cents.
According to the committee in
charge of arrangements, about four
or five hundred dollars will be raised,
if all Of the people will respond
Music will be donated by Arts
Melodians, the prize winning orchestra
and the hall will be furnished gratis
by the local Miners Union, while the
printing will be furnished by the Car
bon County News.

DR.. j. G. f. Siegfriedt has found in

which the rashest geologist has dared
to name for the beginnings of crea-
lures which could be called men is not
over two million years. Even that is
regarded as excessive. If the Mon

fire Of scientific criticism it will be
necessary to rebuild virtually every
thing that we have believed ourselves
to know about the history of man on
earth.

man and the age Of the much more

scientific evidence that biologists will
abandon them with reluctance. Means
will be sought to explain away the
annoying tooth. There are but two
ways to do this; either to prove that
it did not occur in the Fort Union
beds, but in a much later formation,
or to prove that it is not human but
belonged originally to some other type

SLAYER OF. RUSSELL
SAGE RELEASED ON
PLEA OF INSANITY

After three hours of deliberation
the jury in the trial of John Vickery
for the murder of Sheriff Russell
Sage in Billings on July of this year
returned a verdict of not guilty for
reason Of insanity. Announcement
of the verdict was made shortly be-
fore nine o'clock Saturday night.
Hearing of testimony took up an en-
tire week.
Vickery was taken to the court room
from the county Jail when it was an
nounced that, verdict had been Sc
cured. He kept his usually stolid de-
meanor in the court room as the pre-
liminaries to reading the verdict were
completed, but appeared to realize the
significance of the action of the jury.
According to the officers, he was more
than usually nervous as he was being
prepared to return to the court room.
Former United States Senator Hen
ny L. Meyers was chief counsel for
the defense. County Attorney John
B. Tansil appeared for the state.
The senator began his address by
speaking of the grave human response
bility of the jurors with human life
at stake and of it's value to the indi-
vidual. In words that moved many of
his audience to tears he described the
pitiful life that had been dealt to John
Vickery from birth as he grew up
backward and without advantages,
shifting from pillar to post, at last
haunted by an indescribable fear and
agonizing terror from his imaginary
enemies.
In eloquent words, the speaker de-
picted the love of the lads mother,
doubtless the more tender because of
his affection and waiting the issue
which meant life or death to her son.
He spoke Of insanity as the greatest
calamity that could come to anyone
and that the laws Of God and man
demanded mercy for those who are
afflicted or unfortunate.

y From the River Of Life
When Dreams Come True
BY f. P . COmweHI


When Dreams Come True
Once upon time there was trav-
eler, who after long years Of toll and
struggle, came to the country where
dreams come true. The gold which
might have made youth happier was
there, the castles Of fancy beneath UNI
Swallowed skies, the palaces Of fame
far echoing with immortal song, but
over and fairer and greater than all OF
these was the face of opportunity.
But that traveller to that far country
was weary, for the way they had been
long and dark and he laid him down
to a dream, dream that youth had
never known; of still country OF
night and star and sweet forgetfulness
of care.
It was a dream of a Carbon county
resident, after the toll of day, and in
the autumn of the year when the crops
were harvested and the golden grain
was garnered and the seasons work
was done. After all the Giver of all
Good had favored Carbon county with
a lavishing hand. Crops were never
so bountiful, gardens had blossomed
like rose, peace and contentment was
in the land and the future was bright
and glowing Our schools were pros
pering, happiness was in our homes
and our churches were telling the
story of redeeming love.
A smile of contentment and self
satisfaction steals over the face Of the
sleeper. He half dreams and half
muses.. Why is this, and why the diff
ference? We shall see.
1927 promises so much. He thinks
how well it is with him. Well might
he smile then, for the coming year
presages pure prosperity. We will
have Cooke City road and the roads
of the county will all be improved.
We will have new cheese factory in
Red Lodge and pea cannery in Rob-
erts and corn canning establishment
at Joliet and a cider and honey factory
at Fromberg and gold dredging out
fit or two at Bridger and a couple Of
new elevators at Belfry and increased
mining facilities at Bearcreek and
Washoe and an oil we'll at Roscoe and
an oil refinery at Luther. Boyd and
Edgar and Silesia will assist Chance
Warren and Castagne in supplying
enough products to feed the rest OF
the county. The sleeper awakens. It
is the morning of Thanksgiving Day
and the church bells are ringing.

SELLING
RAPIDLY FOR BRISK
THREE ACT COMEDY

In the busy rush of social and BUSH
ness activities during the present sea-
son the public should not lose sight of
the very laughable and meritorious
play the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs
will present at Workers Hall Deem
Der 8 for the purpose of raising funds
to entertain delegates to- the district
meetings of the Odd Fellows and Re-
bekahs which will be held in Red
Lodge sometime next summer.
Those who have. witnessed the re-
hearsal for "Stray CATS, a three act
comedy with brisk action and snappy
dialogue, are united in the opinion
that it will be well worth a generous
patronage. To those who find laugh
ing injurious, the advice of the News
is that they had best stay away, but
to all others advice is given to get
your tickets at the first opportunity
for the ticket selling committee is
finding a generous response from the
public thus far in their solicitation.
The plot of the production is entire
ly new and the play as whole will be
the best in the line of comedy ever
presented in the city. 1t is being d.
rected by Joseph A. Kent.

, Of animal. The former way out of the
dilemma seems to be blocked. Dr. Seig
friedt is an experienced collector of
fossils. Details of the discovery leave
no room for suspicion that the fossil
belongs anywhere else than in the
stratum to which he assigns it. The
tooth is undoubtedly of the Eocene
age, an age to be reckoned, at the very
least, in millions of years.
whether the tooth is unmistak-
ably human is another question. DR..
w. K. Gregory, the paleontologist of
the American Museum of Natural
History, states that the Fort Union
formation is known to contain fossil
bones of certain primitive mammals,
distantly related to modern hoofed
animals, which possessed teeth re-
markably similar in form to the mod
ern human teeth. 1t remains possible
that DR.. Seigfriedt has found one of
these and has mistaken it for the tooth
of man, an error witch would be quite
.forgivable even to experienced experts
on fossils. Meanwhile, until actual
photographs of the specimen arrive
and have been examined by those es-
pecially expert in this field, the con-
ventional theories of geology need not
be held to be in danger"
Photographs, blue prints and com-
prehensive descriptions of the tooth
have been sent to E. E. Free, geolo-
gist, and the photographs will appear
in the Herald Tribune of New York
City next Sunday ~
k Requests for pictures and informa
ton Of The relic have been received by
DR.. Siegfriedt from numerous scien-
lists and museums including the us.

c., and from the Field Museum Of

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK
By Edison R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma

BY Edison R. Waite Shawnee Oklahoma
Eugene T. Giering editor Of The Wilkes Barre
(Pennsylvania) Record, Says:
That there are dozens of parasites in every COM
munity to every willing worker for the betterment
of the community. The parasite is the person who
joins the Chamber of Commerce or some other civic
organization because he believes it to be an import
ant fundamentally for the common good, but who
is too lazy too Indifferent to bear his share of the
responsibility.
Business men and professional men realize that
as city grows in population business and profess
sonal practice increase. They know that in the
keen competition of today, active work must be
done to forge ahead, yet the general experience
is that in the organizations that must be depended
upon to heighten a community's reputation only
comparatively few willing workers can be found.
The rest stop at paying the annual dues and they do
that much grudgingly.
This type of laggard is on par with the civic
Stacker who will not take the trouble to walk around
the corner to vote yet who is vehement in denuncia
ton of government when it is administered incomp-
etently or corruptly.
If the intelligent, capable people in community
took the interest in affairs they should take there
is hardly anything that could not be attained The
Mossbacks and the Pullbacks are an infiction per-
haps as incurable as cancer The activity of the
willing workers stands out strikingly by contrast
All honor to them.

LEGISLATIVE BODY
WILL DECIDE MATTER
OF THE STATE FAIR

Helena, Nov. 24.-The wisdom of
reestablishing the Montana State Fair
is purely question of finances and
the matter is thrown to the 1927 Leg
islature to decide, according to the
recommendation contained in the BIZ
ennial report of Commissioner A. H.
Bowman, of the department of agri-
culture, labor and industry The
Commissioner does outline, however,
the advantages of the state fair. He
says, "The fair should become a great
permanent exposition, attracting not
only our own people but the wide
awake citizens of other states who
may find it worth while to watch
from year to year, the growth Non
tana is making in so many fields of
endeavor. A great fair would slim
ulate all the material interests of the
state, make Montanans proud to step
upon any part Ol our vast DOMAIN ana
help to unite all our interests, both
big and little, in a common struggle
to make better and grander Mon
tana."
"In the event that an appropriation
is made for this purpose, the depart
ment pledges itself that all funds will
be used in precisely the manner in
tended by the legislature and regular,
thorough reports on all. expenditures
will be promptly presented to the
State Board of Examiners"
