HUNTS CIRCUS COMING

Hunts Circus, a three-ring
production, transported upon
their own fleet of fast moving
motor trucks, is to pay Rising
Sun a visit on Tuesday, Sept.
Is, and will erect their tents on
the lot near the school house.
According to the advance
agent, this show presents a
program with as many, or
more, novelties and innova-
tons, as any circus upon the
road today, having everything
that the big railroad shows
have, and presenting as many
feature acts, as the cost of
transportation is so much cut
down that it allows the man
agement to spend much more
money in the production of the
main program.
Hunts Circus has been a
tented organization for the
past thirty-five years, and has
always accorded it's patrons a
good, clean, moral entertain
ment, and as the advance agent
says, it needs no special intro
duction to the show-going pub
lie, as they know that they will
see nothing that is not abso-
lutely worthwhile in every re-
spect and from every angle.

The WASP HOUT

"The Wasp" a satirical month
ly magazine dealing with priAci-
pies, men and things, is out. It
is red wit and satire, stings
its enemies and tickles its
friends.
Volume I, Number 1 can be
found over at Mil1er's Pharmacy.
The price is two bits, and worth
twice the money.
The story, "She Almost Got
Her Man." by T. J. o'F1aherty. is
worth the price of a copy.
The editor of the Wasp is no
other than Tom O'F1aherty, the
brilliant colu1nnist who for
year and half was the associate
editor of the Producers News,
and who writes the column. "As
We See It" in this paper each
week. He is keen thinker, vers-
ed in politics and economics, and
a brilliant wit and satirist.
AS a columnist he is without
a peer in the country If in the
world. He is perhaps the most
readable of the radical writer's.
O'F1aherty has associated him
self with a number of clever
artists and writer's OF the young
er school who are bound to be
heard from eventually. Some of
the staff in the first issue will
live. The Wasp is going over
big.
The subscription is $3.50 the
year, IS cents the number on
news stands. The address is SOC

Helena, April g. During the
first three months of 1881 pay
ments on gasoline tax refund
claims have exceeded receipts IN
the drawback fund by $4S,6Sf.4o.
F. E. Williams, state treasurer
said Monday. =,
The drawback fund is provided
by the reservation of % per cent
Of gasoline tax collections. Refund
of taxes may be claimed II the
fuel is not used for motors oper-
ating on the highways.
In the last three months receip O
to the drawback fund totaled $l5S,,
55O.O4. Refunds allowed totaleo
S197, 1919 during the period.
Gasoline tax collections for the
quarter, however increased more
than 35 per cent over the total fol
the same period in 1880. Thus fai
this year receipts have amounted
to S613,674 as compared WITT
S449, 500 for the first three
months of last year, an increase o.

S. OIL COMP ANY
TO OPEN STATION
IN PLENTYWOOD

The Standard Oil Company of
Indiana is reported to have pur-
chased the lot owned by Len Rue
just east of the store occupied by
Kitzenberg's ready-to-wear where
the company will erect a modern
and beautiful oil station. The
StandardOil company has leased
the ground on the Great Northern
right-of-way once occupied by the
International Elevator which was
torn down several years ago, and
has been removing the huge con-
crete blocks which made up the ell
evator foundation, this week. The
big tanks arrived the fore part Of
the week and work has been start
ed to install the tanks where they
can be conveniently filled from
railroad tank cars. A pipe line
will probably be laid to supply thu
station.
This means that the STANDARD
Oil company has entered this ter
ritory in competition with tn
Westland Oil Company. 1t is er
ported that Shell Oil is also com
ing to Plentywood.
1t is likely there will be reduc
ton in the price of gas and oil
when these companies open up TO
business.

KING GEORGE Y

ON SHELF AGAIN

Windsor, Eng, April T. King
George was Ill today for the Sec
ond time in a little more than two
years and anxiety was fAlt by the
peoples of the British empire for
the health Of their monarch.
Physicians attending the king 10
sued reassuring reports that his
illness was only slight. The trouble
was diagnosed as "sub-acHte bron,
chitis," from which King George
was reported by his doctors to be
recovering SLOWLY and satisfac-
torily."
The United Press correspondent
arriving at Windsor from London
during the day was told that the
king was not confined to his bed
but that he remained in his apart
ments in the castle on advice Of
physicians.
Inquiries elected the informa
ton that the king transacted stat
business and that his remaining in
doors was due more to precaution
and the inclement weather than h
any real danger at present from
the malady.
