JOECANN0N, NOTED
STATESMAN, PASSES
AT HIS HOME FRIDAY

Uncle joe Cannon died in his
sleep at his home in Danville, ILL.,,

ago, amid walls laden with trophies
of his public life. Weakening of the
heart muscles caused his death but
the general weakening of old age had
warned his family several months ago
that the end was near. He told COM
rades in the national House of Rep
resentatives, when he quit It's halls in
1923, that he was going home to die,
home to the rambling brown brick
mansion which he had built 65 years
ago for his bride, who preceded him to

first exhibition held in this county
under the rules of the American Poul-

The annual banquet of the Associa-

on January II to %, or the week fol-
lowing our local exhibition and that
arrangements are being made to so
cooperate with the State Poultry
Show Association that birds might be

tana. Mrs. Margaret Kahn, secretary
treasurer, will again be in charge of
receiving entries and all clerical work
connected with the exhibits.
The management is anxious for
every breeder raising quality poultry
to send number of entries. The best
poultry in Montana and adjoining
states will be on exhibition. The blue
ribbon winners from the local shows
held throughout the state this fall and
winter will compete for state honors.
An exhibitor winning at the State
Show usually has little difficulty dis
posing of his stock and Matching eggs.
An educational program and a big
display Of industrial and educational
demonstrations will be arranged and

tention poultry specialist. The annual
meeting of the State Poultry Assn

Bozeman is centrally located and
has excellent shipping facilities on
two railroads. The hundreds of birds
received by express shipment will be
given the best of care until they are
returned to the exhibitor. For addi-
tional information or for a premium

Show Manager, Bozeman, Montana.
A commendable interest is being
taken in the raising of pure bred poul-
try in this county, movement which
is fostered by the Carbon County
Poultry Growers Association and
which is sure to result in the raising
of the standard of poultry bred in
this county, and which will rebound
to the benefit of every poultry grower

of the Association or not,

observance of Armistice Day. Old
Glory was on display along Broadway

Public Skating Rink
Completed in Roberts

Excavation, leveling and banking of
a public skating rink has been COM
pleted in Roberts under the super
vision of Walter Brauer and M. S.
Stanley, of the Roberts teaching facul-
ty, with the assistance of the Roberts
high school basketball boys. The rink
is located in the north end of town,
east of the railroad tracks.
With severe weather the rink will
be open to young and old. The rink
project is the first of its kind to be
undertaken in Roberts, and the popu-
lar winter sport will no doubt attract
many of the residents of Roberts and
vicinity.

"Who's ,dead?" asked a stranger OF
a Roberts business man last Saturday.
"No one that / know Of" answered
the Roberts man, chow comet" The
visitor looked curious, why he said,
isn't that funeral procession yonder
headed this way?". The Roberts man
smiled, "No" he answered, chat is a
procession of west side farmers haul
ing their wheat to the Roberts ele-
vator. This afternoon they will come
in from the east side. You see, they
have matters so arranged that they
won't block traffic here at this time
of year..
Now, of course, many of my public,
as movie stars would say, will declare
that the foregoing is just made up
story, that it is a perversion of the
truth or an exaggeration or maybe
just a darn lie but it isn't. Just ask
any Roberts resident and see.
Minot, N. Dak., used to advertise
itself as the largest primary wheat
market in the world. Later that dis
tinction was claimed by Plentywood,
Mont. Let 'em boast if they get any
satisfaction out of it but at the same
time let 'em hang their heads in shame
when proof is offered that Roberts is
the largest good wheat market in the
universe. Minot and Plentywood may
have shipped more wild oat and weed
and Canada thistle seed than Roberts.
But Roberts ships only real wheat.
Do you get that?
Some how or other it seems that
Roberts is surrounded by the best
kin of farmers to be found anywhere.
They work hard tits true but they
make good and their children are now
going to college over at Missoula,
Bozeman or Dillon. They are real dirt
farmers, those Roberts farmers. They

Three Act Comedy I.
Will be Presented
Here Next Month

Rehearsals are being held for
three act comedy which will be pre-
sented at Workers Hall Friday, De-
cember 3 under the direction of Joseph
A. Kent.
The play is being presented under
the auspices of the Odd Fellows and
Rebekahs of the local lodge for the
purpose of raising funds to entertain
district delegates who will meet in
Red Lodge the coming summer.
The play is one of the big successes
in comedy of 1926.
Further announcements will be
made next week.

ride good autos on Sunday but you can
bet that they ride disks and drills and
cultivators during the week in the
farming season. By the way, there
aren't any ranchers about Roberts.
They are all farmers.
When you drive through Roberts or
stop there you will notice a bank.
Ordinarily one wants to run when he
sees a bank as it is the place where
so many people owe money. Not so
with the Roberts State Bank. That in
stitution loans money it is true but it
is really depository. If you will
take squirt at the walls of the build
ing that houses it you will see that
they bulge somewhat. It's full of
money belonging to the farmers that
live about Roberts. That institution
is misnamed. 1t should be called the
Roberts Savings Bank.
Enter store at Roberts and you
can buy just about everything you
want, or, let me say, everything you
need. They tell the story of mer-
chant there who gives out numbers
like they do sometimes in barber
shops so as to tell who's next. One
customer handed the metal disk to his
little boy to play with during the wait
one day last summer. The child swal-
lowed the disk and, sad to relate, the
balance of the mans family starved to
death before he could get redisked and
waited on. That's how busy they are.
There are no flills about Roberts.
Everyone there calls his neighbor by
his first name. The only tragedy they
have had there in recent years occur
red there last Thursday when one
business man called another "Mister"
and got shot. He came clear. The
people are law abiding and their chill
dren are at school on time, and the
first thing that they do when they
grow up is to run for the State Leg
islature.
The people are religious down there
too. You will notice church on River
view Avenue and another on Fifth
street, then too there are good stores
and garages and shops and doctor,
BARRIERS and pool halls, just like you
find in Tulsa or Miami or New York.
Roberts is a good trading point.
They found it necessary to build an
extra road into it last summer. The
commissioners had to do it to keep
the people from running over their
neighbours alfalfa field in their haste
to get to Roberts to do their trading.
They have flour mill there too, and
water works and electric lights-when
the creek is high. When the creek is
low they use natural illumination. By
that I mean that if the electric lights
do not work the whole town gets lit
up with moonshine-or should l say
moonlight, for no one drinks at Rob-
erts. There is no night light there
and most of the people retire at
shutdown.
Roberts people are very law abid-
ing. Purple dawns and dewey ewes
follow each other in sweet succession
and peace and quiet is SO deep that no
sound harsher than lovers kiss is
ever heard.
Yes, Roberts is good town. They
say that there is whole colony of
former Roberts people in heaven but
they have to keep 'em hobbled to pre-
vent 'em from breaking away and
coming back home.

Splendid

The Fromberg Herald issued a
school edition last week that was a
credit to it's editor and also to the
teachers and pupils of the Fromberg
schools who assisted him. 1t is doubt
full if there is a better school spirit
in the entire county than is found at
Fromberg. They have an enterprising
Board of Education, an able Super
intendent, an earnest and efficient
faculty, live active set of pupils and
above all a progressive set of patrons
who strive for only the best in educa-
tional work.
The Herald exhibited splendid
spirit when it threw it's columns open
and lent its assistance to placing such
a meritorious edition before its read
ers-and its patrons will not forget.

Commendable

Educational week was fttingly OBJ.
served by the pupils, teachers and
patrons of the Red Lodge schools.
Every feature of education was care
fully discussed by able speakers during
the week and those who took part are
to be commended for their interest in
that great work. There are no better
teachers and no better schools to be
found anywhere, than we have here in
Red Lodge. They are teaching their
pupils that a clear aim in life is
necessary to success. The home, the
church and the school are the three
great pillars on which the temple OF
our national government rests, but the
teacher comes in contact with the
child just at that period when most
can be done to direct him into the
paths of noble living. For this great
work for the cause of humanity and
America, the American public school
teacher has never been fully appreciat
ed nor adequately. rewarded. If any
class of workers are finally paid in
the coin of the Eternal Kingdom, it
is certain that most of the teachers Of
this nation have large bank account
awaiting them over yonder.
