An Armistice Day atmosphere per-
vaded the weekly luncheon meeting
of the Henderson Kiwanis club Fri
day evening, with three short talks
on the subject and with music of a
martial air. The program was in
charge Of j. B. Gee.
Several songs of World War days
were sung by E.. G. Glenn, accom-
panied at the piano by Miss Helen
Kimball, the clubs pianist.
The addresses, all very brief, were
by T. S. Kittrell, j. B. Hicks and Rev.
I. w. Hughes, all past presidents of
the club. They touched on various
phases of the significance Of ARMS
tice, and Mr.. Kittrell brought out the
fact that while the world Of today is
in state of tenseness, the fact is
that the Armistice of 1918 is still in
reality in effect, and there has been
no major world conflict since.
The speakers thought the United
States should look to it's own defenses
in sensible manner, and not allow
itself to be caught mapping if an
emergency should arise.

Court Denies
Petition Regarding
Excess Claims

In district court last Thursday,
Judge j. E. lockwood denied the
application of the petitioners asking
for an order authorizing payment of
the excess claims against the road
and bridge funds of Lincoln county.
The action was taken after the court
had heard arguments both for and
against the petition. The denial was
based on the assumption that the
laws of Montana did not give the
court any jurisdiction in the mat
erin other words, that the court
had no authority to act in the mat
ter as it was presented to the court.
II will be remembered that the
petition asked authority for pay
ment of excess claims in the sum
of sl0,358.61 incurred against the
road and bridge funds of the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1887. The
law stipulates that any bill incur
red in excess of the duly authorized
budget is not legal claim against

made to have some of that expend-
ed locally. He said state officials
had agreed to have the Thompson

| building a dam or dams to maintain
the level of water in the lakes at a
certain point. If this is done, the
middle lake might be declared a
game refuge.
