Connolly, are newspaper publishers from New England and Amidon, N. D., respectively. It is a sort of rennion for the Connollys, who are together for the first time in twelve years, and it is needless to say that the visitors are enjoying every min- ute of their stay in Ekalaka.

Volunteers are now be- ing asked amongst the auto owners for the purposeAlf trans- porting the boys from- the cou,n- ty seat to the railroad. the dates on the first call for volunteers for this service being from the 1st to the 5th of September. Surely the auto men are going to respond nobly, and we suggest that if you can possibly help in this respect, call on either Coun- ty Clerk Jamieson, or Sheriff Geo. Eoggs, and tell them that they cln depend on you to take at least one load of the boys over to Baker, where they will entrain for the mobilization point. In an effort to relieve Montana farmers who have lost their crops through the continued drouth, and with the object of helping them get on their feet again, Congressman Evans is urging the department of agriculture to recommend an appropriation of one million dollars to purchase seed grain for the farmers in the drouth stricken areas of illontanii and North Dakota; thus enablinl_ them to put in their fall crop in spite ots their financial reverse. \I am sincerely anxious to help our farmers,,\ said Mr. Evans. \With a fine spirit of patriotism they went the limit this year in planting crops to help out the government in the war crisis, in many instances paying almost prohibitive prices for seeci. The nntinuecl. dry ile8: 2 0,4 Pt* only caused them tallOsie crops, but to lose their expe ture for seed as well, anti many of them are in dire need of gov- ernment aid.

NUMBER 35 Fair Attractions The committee on free attrac- tions for the coming county fair has received information that tends to show that thiavear's celebration in Ekalaka will sur- pass anything of its kind ever at- tempted, especially in the matter . of free attractions. Correspond- ence is being conducted with a well-known firm to secure a bal- loonist, and assurances have been given that arrangements are pos- sible for this attraction. This event consists of the old fash- ioned balloon ascension. with added features, such as the dou- ble parachute act, bomb dropp- ing, night illumination and other exciting and interesting feats. Arrangements are also 13- ing made to secure the well- known \Tipperary\ bucking horse from Doc Latham at Camp Crook. The committee has a prominent broncho buster in view who clairns to be able to ride this horse. backing up his claims with a little of the \jingle\ necessary in these war tim,es. \Tipperary\ has gained a - big reputation around Camp Crook as to his bucking qualities, and while it may be an expensive attraction for the association, they feel that nothing could be secured that would be better entertainment than the exhibition of - this ani- mal. Dr. J. P. Hedges gets a wire Sunday about midnight from \somewhere across the pond\ (name withheld by censor) that through an error on the part of the government shipping board, \Baalam brother to \Is- iatitnig eared. xnule Fha registe t o years ago and never has claimed exemption, has been found in - — (also censored) and that he was given his pass- ports some time in July, and ought to arrive here sometime about September 15th. Giving the long lost brothers at least five days to rejoice over the re- union, both will be in readiness to exhibit their speed qualities on the two days of the fair. \Is- rael\ is with us now. in regular trLining, but as \Balaam\ comes overland from Frisco his condi- tion should make him the betting favorite. With the list of attractions that is promised, WC can't see how anyone is going to afford to miss the county fair this year. Camp Crook is coming over , with their oall team for a game the suoind day. .1.
