WOODEN NUTMEGS

Years ago, when our grandmother was
just beginning to keep house, convincing
salesman came by. He was selling nutmegs
and they were the largest, finest nutmegs
that grandmother had ever seen. So the
poor old lady bought about half peck of
them, and it was not until days later, when
the dust had long become quiet about the
departing salesman's footsteps, that she
found the nutmegs were made of wood
Wooden nutmegs aren't sold any more.
Take it literally or fguratively, as you like.
And consistent advertising is responsible
1t is possible to focus the public eye on
any product, but unless that product is good,
and will help the advertising make second
sale, the business will soon be Status in
quo', which we are told is Latin for ''in a
deuce of fix.
So unless you're selling wooden nutmegs
why not advertise in the Carbon County
News?

The Roberts Plan

When it comes to real enterprise
real progress, our little sister on the
north can give us few pointers. |
refer now, to Roberts. Of course, no
one questions the fact that Roberts is
all right and that it is peopled by as
good a set of citizens as are to be
found anywhere. They are hospitable
and genial and friendly and a trip
down there is just like going back
home. But that's another story. What
/ want to emphasize is that they are
enterprising and progressive as you
will hereinafter see. Roberts has a
band of twenty pieces. 1t is a good
band and would be the pride of any
town ten times the size of Roberts. 1t
is under the direction Of the bank
cashier and not single loafer is to
be found in its ranks. It's personnel
is made up of merchants and bankers
and mechanics and-What, farmers?
Yes farmers. Now talk of the Neosho
Plan or of any one of a dozen other
plans of town and country co-opera-
ton. How about the Roberts plan?
What kind of music do they make?
Well it isn't all Jazz and Ragtime
stuff. I doubt that they would play
that class if they could. After all,
there is love of real music, genuine
art and clean entertainment still alive
in the world. 1t may sometimes be
hidden behind inpenetrable clouds but
it never goes out in darkness. Listen,
in that band down there you will find
men who were grounded in the clas-
sizes. Not all of them are amatuers by
any means. Some of them at least
have knowledge and appreciation of
good music. It's leader has a recog-
nized standing as a musician and only
few years ago he organized and di-
rected band at Joliet that was second
to none in southern Montana.
Band concerts are held every two
weeks and are attended by towns
people there and the farmers there
abouts. They know that the only way
to get town people and country people,
merchants and farmers, tradesmen
and stockmen together is for them to
have common interest. They have
it in their band. Talk about enter
prise, cooperation and community
spirit at work, Here's to the Roberts
Plan.

FUNERAL RITES FOR
PIONEER WOMAN OF
COUNTY HELD SAT.

Mrs. James Barry, ST., pioneer res
ident of Carbon county, died Thursday
at the home of her son-in-law, M. G.
Hogan, at Roberts after lingering
illness of several weeks.
She was born in Ireland sixty-six
years ago and before leaving there
she was married to James Barry who
preceded her in death three years
ago. She emigrated to America with
her husband about forty years ago;
first settling in Maryon, Minnesota,
where they resided for ten years, then
moving to the vicinity of Roberts,
Montana, where the rest of their lives
were spent.
She is survived by four sons, John
and Edward Barry of Livingston, Pat
Barry of Florida and James Barry of
Roberts; four daughters, Mrs. M. G.
Hogan, Mrs. John Monahan, Mrs.
Harry Monahan of Roberts and Mrs.
J. W. Powers Of Casper, Wyoming.
She also leaves to mourn her loss a
brother, Dan Sweeney of Roberts; one
sister, Mrs. Henry Allen of Roberts,
besides sixteen grandchildren, and a
host of friends.
Funeral services were held from the
Roberts Catholic Church Saturday
morning at ten o'clock under the d.
rection of the Downward Funeral Par
lors. Requiem high mass was cele-
brated by Father Sheehee of From
berg with Father Shevelin of Laurel
assisting.
The pallbearers were Jim Monahan
Barney Deeney, John Mckenzie,
Claude Hudson, Henry Allen and
Thomas Hogan. Interment was made
i'll the Catholic cemetery at Roberts.
Thus passes another of the sturdy
pioneers of southern Montana. A
courageous and tender mother she
was, typical of the sturdy race of
American pioneers who feared not the
wild prairies of the west, nor minded
the heat of summer nor the cold of
winter, who dared all things and who
endured all things in a new land,
where riches did not exist and where
comforts were undreamed of. The
closing years of her good life were
passed in peace and comfort among
her devoted children, in a community
which she and her brave husband help
ed to make out of the raw prairie.

Truth Crushed to Earth

Say, did you read that news item in
this paper last week that told of the
marriage of John Henry Eckles and
Maude Louise Crump? The account
of that wedding was written by our
new reporter j. Everett Grady He is
still at liberty after as malicious an
attack on Truth as ever occurred in
these parts but whether he was a hired
assassin or was just stewed should
be made the subject of a strict and
careful investigation. Here is the item
in question::
Eckles-Crump.
Would that my pen had been pluck
ed from some BEAUTIFUL bird of Paradise
and dipped in the eyes of rainbow,
that l might fittingly describe the bea-
tiful marriage scene enacted at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Anthony P.
Cru.np, TIC North Word Avenue, Red
Lodge Montana on the evening of
April IL. Just as the day got cloth
ed in majesty sublime, had withdrawn
his galaxy of quivering, golden beams
from all the earth, and waited good
night kiss to the young evening, who
was fast approaching with her cloud
less brow mounted by a crown of
jeweled stars-it was then that the
cords of confidence, hope and love
binding the hearts of John Henry
Eckles and Maude Louise Crump, were
indelibly traced upon the scroll of life,
and the sacred seal of holy matrimony
placed thereon The groom is one of
the promising young men of the city
and he is in every way worthy of the
beautiful and popular bride he has
won.
Jack Eckles promising young
man? Promising is right. That's
about all he does but he never full
fills one. The fact is that he never
did an honest days work in his life and
if it wasn't for his Dad he would have
starved to death long ago. He is
simply N. G. and there is no hopes
for him. His old man will have two to
support now instead of one. Maude
Crump has been given up by dozen
beauty doctors. She is about as beau
tiful as that block of coal down this
side of the post office. She can CAD
about all day and do the Charleston

IN MEMORIAM
By E. P. Conwell

In far-off peaceful valley
Where the morning glories Irvine
Round the portico in summer,
Lived the truest friend of mine,
Who has kept my hearts affections,
Every moment Of the past,
And her memory I shall cherish,
Every hour that life shall last.
Her hair was streaked with silver,
There were wrinkles in her face,
But to me hers was beauty,
Even time could neer efface,
And | would the joys were many,
That she knew in life's decline,
May the angels guard her evermore,
That tried, true friend of mine. ~
would love again to wander,
Mid the fields of waving corn,
And live again the golden hours,
knew in life's bright morn,
Where sorrow was a stranger,
And where care was never known,
Where life was free, it seemed to me,
AND the sun forever ShOne.
The COWS were in the pasture field.
Mid clover blossoms red,
The robin sang her lyrics,
In the naples overhead,
And the winding river silently,
Flowed onward to the sea,
Like my life it ever hearkened,
To the voice of destiny,
This life is but an empty race,
For glitter, wealth and CLEAN,
But the past appears before me,
Like an ever fading dream,
But when | think of Heaven,
And of friends forever true,
Then the old home in the valley,
And her face appear in view.
