state Department of Agriculture
in furnishing reliable information
to prospective settlers, according
to Secretary Warden of the new
board. In time it is hoped to in
terest citizens of all counties of
northeastern Montana and deyel-
ope a board that will represent
the entire territory.
To Advertise County
The Roosevelt county board was
organized May -, with a repre-
sentative from each town, and
plans to facilitate the distribution
of reliable information to settlers
and prospective settlers and to ad.
vertise the county. They will also
act as a clearing house for any in
quiries for land and will send such
to real estate dealers, or will di-
rect the parties to lands known to
be for sale. 1t is planned to con-
duct an extensive publicity cam
paign during the coming year to
acquaint prospective settlers with
the agricultural advantages of
Roosevelt county, and also the en-
tire district.
Working Together
The cooperation of representa-
tives of the Great Northern rail
way, the state Department of Ag-
ri~culture, the real estate men,
loan companies, banks and com
mercial and civic organizations
have been assured. 1t is believed
that the farm property owners
throughout the district will be
benefited to the greatest extent.
and it is this group that the board
hopes to interest in working out
a worthwhile plan of attack.
Land Settlement boards have
been appointed in every county of
the state, appointment having
been made by the secretary of Ag-
riculture, Oh authority granted by
recent legislative action. Officers
and members of the Roosevelt
county board are:
Chairman, Theodore Rounds,

CLOSE-UPS IN THE

Quietly and without Ostentation'

believed to have edged his hat IN

party's nomination for the Presi-
dency. lie would, it is generally
conceded. accept another term in
the White House. Nevertheless,
this writer is of the opinion that
the Presidents decision is not so
irrevocable that it cannot be
changed.
What is construed as an an
nouncement OF his candidacy was
made at one of his famous break
fasts discussed in these columns
a few weeks ago. In recognition
of the significant event about to
t~ranspire, the chef added to the
unusual menu of sausages, cakes
and syrup a generous helping of
bacon and eggs, and grapefruit.
Ostensibly the breakfast was
given in honor of the Presidents
confidant and friend, William NJ.
Butler. chairman of the Republi-
can national committee. Per
haps there was bit OF irony in the
invitations to certain of the guests,
especially Speaker of the House
Nicholas Loneworth, and his polit-
ical ally, Bascomb Slemp, and the
Lone Wolf" from Idaho, Senator
William Rorah. Having invited
four members of the cabinet, Sec
retaries Mellon, Kellogg, Wilbur
and Work. the President added to
his list these two who are sus-
pected of themselves entertaining
presidential ambitions. R%epresen-
tatives Treadway, of Massachu-
sets, and Smell, of New York, al
were present.
Having eaten of the unusual re-
past. the President announced the
purpose of the breakfast, which
was itself a departure. Let's,
he said, "hear about the party"
Chairman Butler, back from a
jaunt about the provinces, com
piled. The party, according to the
chairman, is in splendid state, and
is virtually a unit in demanding
the denomination and election of
the present incumbent, Mr.. Cool
idge. In fact, not only did Mr..
Butler lenominate Mr.. Coolidge
by acclimation at the next con-
vention, but reelected him by an
unprecedented majority. Secre-
tary Work, himself recently re
from Hawaii, added assent.
Whatever Speaker Longworth
and Senator Borah felt, that mo-
certainly, was no time to ex-
press an opinion.
Through it all, said n guest,
the President listened with APP
satisfaction" When But
Ter had finished he arose and dis

CIRCLE PAPERS CONSOLIDATE

CiRGEG OONO0EiO ] (
In last weeks issue Of the Nc
Cone County News Editor Hamp-
ton announces that it has ceased
to exist as The News and has been
taken over by The Circle Banner.
The News had the contract for
the McCone county printing but
says that lack of patronage by
the businessmen OF Circle made
it impossible to continue. The
Banner, The original paper in the
field, with Ben Larson as editor,
has assumed the county contract

The News was q good newspap-
er for a town the size of Circle.
good from a news standpoint and
unusually good geographically A
good newspaper has a commodity
to sell to the community it serves
in the form of advertising space.
If it cannot market this commodi-
ty, which is a staple necessity, the
same as wheat or shoes or butter
or labor. in fair quantity, it must
cease to be a good newspaper or
perhaps quit business.
The people of a community do
not have to purchase the shoes or
the butter sold in that community
but the people are hurting their
town and themselves if they buy
elsewhere. Business concerns do
not have to advertise but if they
do not they are travelling on foot
instead of by a time saving vehicle.
Not only do the business concerns
of a town need advertising to
make the town progress, but the
town itself must be advertised A
newspaper, a good newspaper, is
a prime requisite to community adj
vertising. A newspaper in order
to exist and be worth while must
receive compensation for part OF
the service it renders its communi-
ty.
Perhaps there is not a field for
two papers at Circle, but many
one p towns present the same
problems which confronted Mr..
Hampton. AS a result suspensions
are frequent and weakly weeklies
are numerous. AS a further result
the small towns are losing out and
the big towns and cities that adver-
tise c~easelessly are the gamers.

edition just issued lives up to its
promise. 1t explains. in elaborate
detail. how to feed a nan on fifty
cents a day, the new ration al

Whether the women of the ma

company cook is doubtful, for any
one of a number of reasons, many
of which can be given by any for
mer doughboy. The keynote of
the book, however. is the state

sauce" and on that principle it's
compilers endeavor to tell how to
live on fifty cents a day.
The new book gives a great
variety of menus, explains every
conceivable method of cooking,
S of utensils, and tells simply
and effectively how the soldier

chapter is especially attractive to
Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, mo-

and hundreds of copies have been
requested by representatives of
these groups.
Quite different is this cook book
from one issued about 1870. That

But it was President Roosevelt
who was responsible for first re-
moving any barriers that kept
many of the curious in high places
from renewing childhood recollec-
tions with the clowns and the cal
Hope, the tight rope artist and the
side show freaks. Before Mr..
Roosevelt became President he
often took his family to these an
nual affairs, while afterwards as
Chief Executive he made a gala
affair of the show, obliging his
family, his intimates, and especial
ly his so-called "tennis cabinet
and later his Kitchen cabinet to
accompany him. Teddy's famous
smile was never more in evidence
than then.
Those whose memory are bet
ter than this writer's say the first
circus came to Washington in
1880. offering a grand assortment
of animals" Andrew Jackson was
then Chief Executive. He assem-
bled his cabinet and for an after
noon laid aside the cares of state
and, probably, drank what passed
for pink lemonade in those days.
Since then every circus that comes
to town causes an announcement
to be made that 'the President is
expected to attend" Frequently
he does, except on this latter oc-
casion when it fell to the lot of
Mrs. Coolidge to uphold the tradi-
tions of the Office.
