LEGION MEN ASK
STORES TO CLOSE
ALL DAY FRIDAY

At a special meeting of Carbon
Post No. II, American Legion, We'd
nesday night, November 8, it was un-
animously voted to request the bust
ness men of Red Lodge to close their
establishments all day November II,
in Difference and reverence to those
who made the supreme sacrifice.
Plans are progressing rapidly for
the ninth annual Armistice Ball to
be held at the Labor Temple tomor-
row night under the auspices of Car
bon Post No. II of the American
Legion. Arts Melodians will furnish
the music.
For the first time since the
Armistice was signed, nine years ago,
the local Legionnaires have failed to
offer special program to the people
of Red Lodge, which in former years
consisted of patriotic exercises at
eleven O'Clock in the forenoon of
Armistice Day. In the past few years
the exercises have not been patronized
very we'll by the local people and
therefore no program was arranged
for Friday.

EVENING SCHOOL
CLOSES WITH A
SPLENDID RECORD

Mrs. Sam Turner, who has been
conducting the Red Lodge Evening
School for naturalization purposes,
has closed this course of instruction,
until the spring of 1928.
Mrs. Turner has won an enviable
reputation as an instructor in the
education of foreigners and can be
justly proud of the success which she
has attained through her untiring eff
forts to give educational help to them.
The term just closed had an en-
rollment of sixteen students who were
all new beginners at the time the
classes we're opened September s of
this year. All of the sixteen students
passed the examination and in some
instances examination was waived,
this was true in the case of Arthur
Delback of Roberts. The examiners
and Mrs. Turner were loud in their
praise of Mr.. Delback who had shown
his earnest desire for this educational
work by driving SO miles, three eve-
nings each week, after the strenuous
days work was finished on his ranch.
The praise in this instance was well
deserved and America is proud to have
such citizens who realize the true
worth Of education.
Mrs. Turner can well be proud of
her record which she has won the
past two years that she has been en-
gagged in this particular line of edu-
cation; she not only has proven her.
self an able instructor but through
her perfect understanding and hu-
man sympathy has accomplished her
aim, where others have failed.
The Red Lodge Evening School
will reopen in the spring under the
supervision of Mrs. Turner.

THREE MONTHS TERM
WILL BRING DIVORCE
Change Struggled Through
During Closing Hours of
Legislative Session.

In the early morning hours of
the closing session Of the leg
islature, the amendment provi-
ding for a three months resi-
dence for divorces was quietly
slipped through the Senate and
the Assembly.
In the sleepy time after mid
might the Senate adopted an
amendment to. the bill naming in
sanity as a reason for breakage
of marital ties, and sent the
measure back to the Assembly
for concurrence. When the AS
sembIy refused to concur, con-
ference committees were appoint
ed by both houses. These were
unable to agree, and a free"
conference committee was named
The word six" was changed
to three" in two places by the
free conference committee. With
in ten minutes, the House and
the Senate had passed the bill
reducing the period of divorce
seekers to three months. The
bill speedily was signed by Gov
Balzar.
