ATTEMPTS TO ROB
BEARCREEK BAN K

An attempt was made to rob the
Miners State Bank at Bearcreek by an
unmasked burglar just before seven
o'clock Tuesday evening.
A. F. Christiani, cashier of the bank,

lar that he would have to turn on the
lights in order to open the safe, to
window in the front door Christiani
was then told to pull down the shades.
When pulling down the shade of the
window in the front door Christian
made his getaway to garage few
steps away from the bank building,
his purpose being to get gun. When
he returned the burglar had disap-
peared.

gagged in the business of draying in

STRAY CATS" is
"A GREAT COMEDY

Practically every member of the
cast in "Stray Cats" is featured
played.
The play begins with an intriguing
dilemma. Dick Skinner, the favorite
nephew of very rich aunt, will in
herit four million dollars provided he
finds a wife within certain length Of
time. If he fails one of the other two
Skinner boys (Tom and Harry will
receive the money. The Will of the
deceased aunt is found late in the
night before the expiration of the time
limit, which gives the three cousins
just fourteen hours in which to WOO,
win and marry. The manner in which
each of the three Skinner boys tries
to capture the inheritance makes a
comic story which steps along from
laugh to thrill and to surprise at a
rapid rate.
Dick Skinner, played by J. Ora
Horsfall, is city photographer. The
action of the story takes place in his
studio. Tom Skinner, portrayed by H.
B. Winnie, is a country lawyer. Roy
Reed in the role of Harry Skinner
portrays character especially suited
to his wonderful talent as a character
comedian.
"Stray Cats" will be presented at
Workers Hall tomorrow night. The
curtain will rise at 8:15. Specialties
will be presented between acts. Re-
served seats are on sale at the Rec
Lodge Drug company.

WOULD STATION
FIELD NURSE IN
CARBON COUNTY

The Christmas Seal campaign for
1926 has started in earnest under the
leadership of Mrs. G. E. Thompson,
assisted by Mrs. Frank Durant, Mrs.
M. G. Swan, Mrs. Harry Viers, Mrs.
Melvin Webb, Mrs. Frank McCleary,
and the state field nurse Mrs. Hazel
Kingsley.
The sale is conducted throughout
the nation to secure funds for financ-
ing tuberculosis work, to continue and
enlarge the health program. 1t is the
effort of the local committee to raise
sufficient funds to have a field nurse
stationed in the county. Every penny
helps in the campaign and because the
seals are so cheap everyone can do
something. Every piece of mail de-
posted in the post office from now
until New Years should bear one of
the little health stamps. Gay ribbons
are waiting to tie festive gift pack
ages. Cards with goodwill messages
are piled high. But there is some
thing lacking if you haven't bought
Christmas seals. For not only do they
add to the gaiety of package and let
ter but they have come to stand for
the Christmas spirit itself-the spir-
it Of doing something for those whom
Santa Claus is but a lost illusion.
"The purpose of the seals is not a
charity, nor should it be SO regarded"
said Mrs. Thompson. "The workers
who put over the seal sale each year
receive absolutely no remuneration for
their efforts and the association itself,
which administers the seal sale fund,
has but one paid employee, the secre-
tary, who has charge Of the executive
work throughout the state"

A City of Homes

When you drive through Joliet on a
summer day you are liable to get the
impression that it is a quiet place. It
is then, but there is reason-a good
reason indeed. You see, Joliet is the
center of fine farming community
and the real reason you don't see
many people on its streets during the
busy season is because they are not
there. Nearly everyone who lives
there, including many of the business
men, have farms and they cultivate
them though having their homes in
town.
In the winter time, of course, it's
different. Then the usual social func-
lions are held-clean, neighborly, en-
joyable affairs-and no stranger with
in their gates who ever had the plea
sure of attending one of them but was
made to feel right at home.
From the time you pass the steel
bridge there until you reach the flour
mill you are passing neat, well kept
homes with flowers in the front yard
and shade trees and an air of domes-
ITCHY that is at once restful and in
viting. Joliet could well advertise it.
self as getty Of Homes" with grace
and truth.
Their tourist park is up-to-date and
happily located. Main street presents
neat appearance with its modern
buildings and we'll kept shops and
stores, the city is well supplied with
churches and the schools have no su-
perior anywhere.
There is one institution there that
deserves more than passing mention

CERTIFIED SEED
POTATOES WILL BE
GROWN IN COUNTY

AS result of an address given at
the Elks Club in October by E. E.
Isaac of the Agricultural Department
of Montana State College at Bozeman
on the cultivation of certified seed po-
tatoes an organization was formed
Tuesday to be known as the Carbon
County Certified Seed Potato Growers
Association. The meeting took place
in the Smith-Hughes department Of
the local high school. The object of
the association is to introduce the
growing of seed potatoes and to
market the seed and commercial po-
tatoes comparatively. Officers for the
association were elected resulting in
the election of S. F. Spar, of near
Roberts, president; J. J. Barry of
Roberts, secretary treasurer. Other
members are D. E. Rigby, w. H.
Schmidt, V. 0. Jackson, J. T. Grover,
Ira Howard, Stanton Howard of Bel
fry, T. w. Olson of Roberts, L. G..
Cartwright of Red Lodge.
Thirty-one acres were signed up for
the growing of seed potatoes. If more
seed can be obtained more acreage will
be available.
Farmers wishing to obtain seed
through the association should COM
municate with ]. J. Barry, Roberts,
Montana; or F. l. Peterson, Smith

Evolution

Ezra Scohaw was in town from his
ranch near Fox last Saturday and
called at the office for some authentic
information regarding that ancient
human tooth recently discovered in a
mine at Bearcreek. Ezra's ideas of
geology are rather crude. He said,
at is my opinion that that is the
tooth of the first husband who ever
told his wife lie about being at an
important lodge meeting and she
found out that he had really been up
the street playing Ping.
told Ezra that US biologists, scien-
lists and curators who have made
life study of such things differ widely
in our conclusions; that some of my
contemporaries hold that the molar
originally belonged to a brother who
lived in the eocene period about ten
million years ago; that he was prob
ably great ancestor of the Neander-
thai man and the Java man of the
pleisocene period. They believe that
the whole family used to live there at
Bearcreek but that the two boys afore-
said must have got into some kind of
trouble and beat it for the east where
they finally settled down.
However, explained to him that !
do not incline to that view at all; that
it is my opinion that this was the
original garden of Eden and that the
bicuspid originally belonged to Adam,
the first man. Adam was married
man and from her pictures one must
conclude that he had pretty husky
wife. Eve was no invalid, she never
had any children's diseases as she was
already grown when she was born. 1t
is probable that Adam came home late
some night, tried to explain to the hat
rack and that his wife met him at the
head Of the stairs with good stout
broom handle. There now, that's set
tied.

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

Alvin K. Matthews, editor of the Santa Cruz
(Calif) Sentinel says:
THAT the newspaper profession is one of the
highest to which man or woman can aspire and
all engaged in newspaper work should tell the truth
in writing advertising copy and never color" news
copy.
THAT good newspaper is standing advertise
ment for the community it represents Every cit
izen can help in the making of his local paper by
subscribing to it's circulaton-at cost that is low
and value that is great Every community gets
its moneys worth through the home newspaper.
It is the truck that carries the goods to market
THAT President Calvin Coolidge anayzed adj
ner when he recently said in address to advertis-
ig agency men: advertising we see, has in it's
power the inherent forces of our modern Industrial
ISM Goods have to be sold-they do not sell them
selves. This selling must be accomplished through
advertising"s
THAT he attributed to advertising much of the
success OF the American industrial system and
large share IN bringing about our American scale of
wages, which is the main support of our home
market. tM
THAT on the foundation of charging production
through the demand created by ADVERTISING. much
of the success of modern ndustralism system rests
1t is to be seen that advertising is not an economic
trade.
Newspaper advertising of goods foodstuffs, etc.,
IS OF benefit to the manufacturer and merchant as
well as to the consumer, creating and retaining
market for the seller ad providing information for
the buyer.

JEAN LUCILLE BURNS
PASSES TO REWARD

Jean Lucille Burns, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Burns, passed away
at local hospital about five-thirty
Monday morning. An emergency oper-
alton was performed Tuesday night Of
last week and dangerous appendix
removed. She was getting along nice
ly until Sunday when her heart began
to fail and death came early Monday
morning.
Jean Lucille Burns, was born in Red
Lodge February 16, 1911. She was
Is years, 8 months and Is days old
She was educated in the grade
schools of Red Lodge and at the time
of her death was member of the
Freshman class in Carbon County
High School. She stood well in her
studies, where she was beloved by hel
teachers and schoolmates and where
she will be sadly missed but not for
gotten.
She is survived by her parents
three sisters and one brother. Rel
atives from Helena came to attend the
funeral.
Funeral services were held this
morning from the Methodist church
Rev. A. D. Welch officiating. Inter
ment was made in the Wilmington
cemetery near Luther.
The News joins with their many
friends in extending sympathy to the
bereaved parents, brothers and sis
tiers.
Thus once again beautiful young
life has gone out from us. Once again
death has passed by the rank weeds
uselessly encumbering the earth, to
claim as his own one of the fairest
and sweetest flowers in all the garden
to crush in it's mysterious grasp the
delicate petals of spotless and pure
young life. But rich and poor, high
and low, young and old alike pay
tribute to that great leveler of all
Death. In his embrace there is no
distinction, of the justice we may not
judge.

The Second Table

Thanksgiving day, with it's wealth
of good things to eat, is past. Of
course, it's nice to have all the rel
atives as guests for Thanksgiving din
ner, but when it comes to two tables
and you are child and hence con-
signed to the second table-well, is
that any cause for giving thanks?
It's a sad world sometimes and
yet. How many there are who read
this who will agree and sadly remem-
Der but who would give all their
worldly wealth just to be back yonder
once again; back where memory
dwells upon some such Thanksgiving
dinner where home and the relatives
were there even if they had to wait
for the second table.
