Because of illness DR.. B. F. Smith,
our district superintendent, was UNI
able to be present with us last Sum
day. However, Elder A. w. Wilson,
energetic young pastor of Fourth
Street Church of God in Christ,
brought a great Gospel message in
the afternoon. and we enjoyed the
fine fellowship with his choir and
congregation. The special music and
fiery message were truly inspiring
invigorating, and touched the hearts
of all true believers present.
We joyfully anticipate future fell
lowship meetings with this good
pastor and his very loyal and CO.
operative people. Too, we were more
than glad to have with us our neigh
Dor, the president of the Minneapolis
Ministers Council, and brother be-
loved, DR.. H. w. Bolts, who had also
been the dinner guest of the pastor.
Sunday morning at HOO o'clock,
Rev. D. P. Young, pastor, will preach
his final sermon for this conference

VOICE OF the LEGION

This is not criticism of the pres
ent agitation for an anti-lynchlng
bill. The blow-torch jamboree this
week at Duck Hill, Mississippi, proves
that something is needed, not only to
protect the interests of justice, but
to put the brakes on civilization
that is slipping.
IF brutality indicates a lack OF
civilization, we had better introduce
scalping, or some other form of mild
amusement, to entertain those of the
other group who indulge in those
mischievous moments, and save our
face in the eyes of the world.
We believe that Pennsylvania took
step in. the right direction, in her
newly organized National Guard
unit.
1t is not possible to organize Ma
tional Guard units among our group,
in all states, due to the lack OF
population, or the fact that the popu-
lation is scattered.
We do believe, however, in states
like Minnesota, where such condl-
tons obtain, the state should main
tain non commissioned officers
schools for our group, and thereby
have a nucleus to guide the activ-
tiles of our group in case of riot,
rebellion or war.
This could be done with little cost
as compared with the organization
and equipment of whole units, and
at the same time we would be rid of
the disgraceful condition that placed
us at a disadvantage during the
World war.
Every ex-soldier remembers top
Sergeants that had to be helped by
privates to fulfill their duties, COM
pany clerks that had to get the
kitchen detail to make the muster
rolls.
This might apply in a great many
cases to our contribution of yeast
foam officers.
Most of the criticism of Negroes
in the higher brackets during the
war, did not come so much from the
lack of material with the necessary
qualifications, but the fact that tht

1t is also interesting to note, that
the states where Negro National

Tennessee is far beyond her sister

Deer Seen in County
Making Rounds and
Last Seen on Sunday

Two young deer. presumably from
the river bottoms of the Missouri,
have been roaming Sheridan coun-
ty.
Last week travellers on the high
way near Antelope reported seeing
them near the Jesse Clark farm.
They were tame and motorists were
close enough to take pictures OF
them.
From the Antelope area they were
seen heading north. Sunday E. Faw-
cett, northeast Outlook resident
saw two deer. presumably the same
as seen near Antelope about halt
mile from his farm.
From indications they are making
their way around Sheridan county
without molestation, but since Sun
day, however. they have been unre.
ported.
1t is believed that the animals left
the Missouri river bottoms during
the heavy rains of two weeks ago.

COUNTY FARMERS
TO HAVE SAVING
BY Low INTEREST
Farmers Impatient from Con-
tinued Delays and No
Activity

Farmers indebted to the Federal
land bank have been granted anoth-
er years extension of 3 " percent
interest rate following the override
of RooseveIt's veto by the senate
last Friday. The House had previ-
ously overridden the veto.
AS a result of the senate and
house action, the emergency rate of
31a percent will be continued on APP
proximately three billion dollars of
federal farm loans for another year,
to be followed by percent rate
for another year. Approximately
100000 borrowers from the federal
land bank and ASS, 900 borrowers
from the land bank commissioners
will be affected.
The 4 per-centum interest rate on
such loans will be for the period
from July l, 1898 to July 1, 1899.

Golf Dam Filled by
Heavy Rains and Big
Lake Is the Result

That construction of dams is a
boon to Sheridan county was clearly
demonstrated at the w. f. Golf farm
northeast of Plentywood following
the heavy rains of two weeks ago.
At the Goff farm a WPA dam was
built more than a year ago at a
feasible location where ''if it ever
rained" a lake could easily be
formed.
The rain came and today there is
a lake at the Goff farm nearly half
mile long and which impounds
thousands of gallons of water.
There is now a big body of water
where in former years there was no.
thing but a dry draw" Since the
dams construction no water was
backed up due to the lack of rain
until two weeks ago.
The water in places is deep and at
the lower end a portion Of a field
is flooded, bringing much sub-mois-
ture to a piece of land dry from per-
sistent drouth. The water level is
holding quite steady and 1t was be-
lieved that the draw would never
again be dry
During the hot days of the past
two weeks the newly-created lake
has been a swimming pool for fam
lilies in that neighborhood.

SHERIDAN TO BE
FIRST COUNTY IN
DROUTH SECTION
Veto Overridden on Farm
Loan Bill Which Affects
GAO in County

Jos. E. Parker. state WPA admin
istrator, told delegation in Miles
City last Saturday that Sheridan
county would be the first county in
the state to be definitely placed in
the Emergency Drouth Area"
This, translated in terms of i'm
mediate relief, said Mr.. Parker.
simply meant that this iounty would
get a generous share of the extra
quota of men allotted to WPA.
Efforts were made to contact the
district office at Wolf Point We'd
nesday, but information was given
that all the principal officials from
that office were in Butte comforting
with state officials. 1t was believed
some definite word, not only as to
the number Of men allotted to Sher-
idan county, but notice as to how
many farmers could be included in
the work program.
When asked the status of the
courthouse project, Administrator
Parker advised that all that stood In
the way now was the declaration OF
the county as an emergency drouth
area and assignment of men quota.
"Just as soon as official word comes
through the president on this" Mr..
Parker said, "we can get work
started on your courthouse immedi-
ately."
As word came of the approval of
two irrigation projects, one on Shot
gun creek north of Bainville, and
another near Scobey by the state
water conservation board, irrigation
enthusiasts in Sheridan county won
dered just why some such projects
were not already under way here
and ready for approval by the state
board. Farmers, growing impatient
at continued delays, were anxious
to learn just what the status of pro-
posed projects was, and what was
contributing TO delays.
