c4' • 1-, ' • EICALAtA EACILI • In Our Town I WAY FOR \EISWAGUN\ V • or - Suettitot• #11 The Horse Fancier is giving his Speedy Steed. \Eiswagun.\ on the Bullyvard. He expects to Cop all the Prizes at the county fair with this new Equine Hope. When \Eisws- gun\ can show enough speed to keep the Grocer's Flinver from passing him, he will be In Rare Form. Rolla Cummings, Frank E. Weed and H. B. Albert, three of those drafted, have had their claims for exemptions disallowed by the . local board. A vacancy on the board of county commissioners now ap- pears owing to the death of Mr. Munro this week. Judge Daniel L. O'Hern of this district will make the appointment to fill the vacancy, but to date we have not learned of any possible candidate for the Office. HarveyA. Dean, aged 48 years, passed ai.vay at the Bolton ranch on Little Beaver July 28, 1917, death being caused by spotted fever. At the time of Iiis pass- ing away no relatives, other than a nephew, Geo. Dean, were pres- ent. He left to mourn his loss a daughter, Mrs. Flossie Walker, at Sioux City. Iowa. besides other distant relatives. The fu- neral services were held from the Bolton ranch and interment made in the I. O. O. F. cemetery at Ekalaka. —Contributed. As we are going to press to- day, we pause to ask, in our humble way, \What has hap- pened to the paper up the street that it failed to issue at all last week?\ The county commis - stoners must certainly feel that their little dope sheet is not the ideal, and sooner or later will come to realize that they copped off a package instead of a prize. And the subscribers of that pa- per, we bet, make some hollers, for the returns they ar,c_gettiug for their misspent two dollars. 150 clerks are wanted for the engineers' corps at once for serv- ice in Europe, these to be quali- fied as stenographers, typewrit- ers, bookkeepers and general clerks, salary from $1000 to $1200 per year, also 50 drafts- men, salary from $1500 to $1800 per year. Besides the salaries they will be furnished rations, quarters, medical and surgical treatment and transportation. Those interested should write \Inspector in Charge, Immigra- tion Service. Helena, Montana.\ Men of conscription age not de- sired. Any person taking up or locat- ing any cattle branded la on left hip are requested to Waim- mediately notify the undersigned, who will call for same and pay pasture bills. S. E. Kimball, Kimball, Mont. 24 4p Prairie Dale (Too late for last week) Airs. Ray Reese is spending a few days with her husband in Ekalaka this week. Bruce Haven has moved onto the Clyde Conger place, which he has recently purchased. Ray and Ona Strain made a trip to Baker this week. They brought back freight for the Charter store. Joe Cornish is keeping \bach\ while his wife and little daugh- ter are visiting her parents at Creighton, Neb. Little Willis Johnson had the misfortune to step on a nail the other day, and in consequence has a very sore foot. Clyde Conger and wife left Tuesday for their old home in Oklahoma, where they will visit some time before they locate again. We see the county commission- sioners have allowed the road running north past the school house. Now if we can have some work done on it it will make traveling a little more pleasant.

WHY I Send to Savage When you can buY just as reasonable at BEN DAVIS' CASH HARDWARE Come aqd See Next The Eagle Office ••• Misses Christina and Amanda Nelson from Mill Iron were buoi-! ness visitors in this section Tues- day. Miss Christina will teach ! the Cleveland school and Miss Amanda the new school justes- tablished in the Arpan neighbor- hood, the coming year. Mr. and Mrs. Carnahan were agreeably surprised Monday when their friends and neigh- bors all gathered at their home and cut and stacked their hay. Mrs. Carnahan, woman fashion, said \what will I get them to eat,\ when she saw so many men and teams coming, but was soon at ease on that question when the ladies began to come with their baskets full of eatables. Mr. Carnahan has been ill for several months, and his neigh- bors were only too glad to show their sympathy by lending a help- ing hand. ON THE FARM \Why are you so set on having a cow and a few chickens?\ \To satisfy , the aummer boarders. They expect e'm after seeing these barnyard plays.\ BABYLON HAD LIQUOR LAWS. Saloonkeepers seem to have beer. under restriction in the days of Hammurabi, king of Babylon, as in ours. \If the wine seller overcharged her customer, or sold the drink in too small a measure,\ the law set out that she should be called to account, \and they shall throw her into the water.\ Aocording to the reading of the statute, the English and conti- nental custom of having barmaids instead of barmen seems to have pre- vailed. The wine seller was also held liable if outlaws collected in her house, and she did not arrest them and bring them to the palace. While the business of wine selling was rec- ognized, it was evidently regarded as unsuitable for some classes. The law said, \If a priestess who is not living in a mal gea (convent) open a wine shop, or enter a wine shop for a drink, they shall burn that woman.\—Case and Comment.
