There will be no favorites as far as the Times is con- cerned and we will play none. The object of the contest is to intro- duce the Times into as many homes as possible. We desire a larger list in order to give our advertisers better re - suits, to give you the advantages of their increased advertisements, to give you more and better news, and to be able to boost for Geyser and its splen- surrounding country. This is no lottery scheme. There is absolutely no risk in the prize dis- tribution. It is something worth while to win the beautiful grand prize piano.

If yon do not fully understand the contest, ask the editor or the Times and he will gladly ex- plain it to you. Is your name on the list following. Then add it at once. CA N DID AT ES Mrs. Kebel Murphy_ 15,775 Miss Mae Todd 9,500 Mrs. E. L. Landry, Jr._ 5.000 Miss Ruth Irvin 5,000 As will be seen by the above no new candidates have entered the race since last week. We would like to see about three times as many young ladies take hold of the contest as it would make less work for each one, and make a more exciting contest. Each of the four contestants named, however, are live ones and are making good pro- gress securing subscriptions and votes. Mrs. Kebel Murphy who heads the - list this week is the only candidate living in Geyser. She is a compara- tive stranger here, having but recently come to reside among its. She is mak- ing lots of friends and lining them lip to work for her interest in the contest in manner that bespeaks previous ex- perience. Miss Mae Todd, second highest this week, is well known to almost everyone around this part of the coun- (('ontinued on page 2) oosevelt Urges Bolt Followers Split Over Intended Ac- tion, but Practically It Has Already Taken Place Chicago, June 19.—The long ex- pected clash in the republican ranks came tonight. The Roosevelt forces, acting, they said, under the personal direction of the colonel himself, began to lay plans for independent action in the national convention. As a fore- runner of the more drastic action ex- pected in the convention tomorrow or Friday, the Roosevelt members of the l committee on credentials withdrew from that body, and, in effect with- drew all of the Roosevelt contests' which had been scaled from 92 to 78. Colonel Roosevelt was in the midst of a series of conferences tonight and was busy figuing on the loyal delegates who he could expect to carry with him out of the convention, or rather into a separate convention on the Col- iseum floor in event the crisis Is reached. Persons who talked tonight with the colonel said no longer was there any doubt as to his attitude. Con- vinced that the credentials committee was against him and would retain the cotested delegates in their seats, already given to Taft by the national commit- tee, Colonel Roosevelt decided to go no further with his futile fight in the: regular convention. ligh School ------- ------ ----- number of recitations per week. In r • • high school work 45 minutes is given v erdict Given to each recitation.) A special teacher for music and Commencement drawing may be secured. It may be also that second year high school stu- dents can be accommodated. We believe that any country's best is need that has given birth to and de - asset is its childlen and young people. Anything that will make them better citizens and more competent and effi- cient in all departments of life is the best possible investment. Education is such an investment. The day . has arrived when a young person. without at least a common school education will fight the battles of life at a great disadvantage. Exact knowledge and progressive methods are becoming more and more essential to success in all lines of business — agricultural, com- mercial, industrial professional. Trained men are even now the leaders and. must become so more and more. Dr. Alexander J. Burrows, president of St. Ignatius College, in addressing a class of high school graduates, said. \The modern business man does not' confine his activities to sitting behind a counter and waiting for people to sell goods to him and buy them from him. He is active and aggressive and he creates and meets great problems, which demands wide knowledge and a trained mind. I believe the numerous cases of break -down by business men under the strain of modern life is chief- ly due to their insufficient mental foun- dation. Their minds are not fitted to carry the strain put upon them by the complexity of modern industrial life.\ To be sure, many of our successful business men have not had technical training, but have gained their knowl- edge in the high school of experience. However, these men admit that they need and sorely miss that thorough technical training secured in high school, commercial school, or university. Aside from the actual knowledge gained, that eight hours per day, five days in the week, nine months in the year, devel- ops those habits of concentration and persistent application that alone can insure success. Not only do we recognize this NEED but we are prepared to MEET IT. it )eloped our local newspaper. TheGey- Ur Times. It is the sense of need And desire alone that can initiate and develop an efficient high school in our midst. And that, is just what we ex- pect to do. Vv'e are going to grow into this pro- ject, without strain or great expense. ‘Ve have secured the services of a man with college and post -graduate degrees and six years' active experience in pub- lic school work—a man who can fur- nish high recommendations from the communities in which he has taught. We ItIVe also secured the use of a warm, well -lighted building until such time arwe are able to erect a school building that shall be a credit to our growing city. CLASSES OF STUDENTS Beginning about October 1st, we shall be prepared to accommodate two general classes of students --(1) those who have completed the eighth grade and (2) those who have not had the opportunity to complete the grade work, but feel that they are too old to attend the grammar school. This lat- ter class of students will be taken in without examination and given such special work as they seem most to need. , The first class mentioned will con- akitute those who are prepared to take up the first year of the regulation high school work—the ninth grade. Ad- mission will be by examination or cer- tificate of graduation from eighth grade work. COURSES OF STUDY The required studies for the first year of high school work are: English, Algebra and Latin each five hours per week., Reading and Expression, one hour. Elective studies. Physical Geog- raphy„Advanced Physiology. An ient History. Elect one for five hours a week; or two, one for two and one for three hours per week.

Director Mc- Kinley and his staff presented an \it -is - all -over -but -the -shouting\ attitude, and confidently asserted that today's vote of 564 to 510 against the Roosevelt forces showed conclusively that Taft would be renominated. Taft men said that Roosevelt would lose on the nomination 46 of the 510 votes he had today. They said that Wisconsin's 26 votes, South Dakota's 10 and the Cummins vote from Iowa would desert the Roosevelt column on any decisive vote. From this they argued that the real Roosevelt strength in the convention at the most was 964 votes. Congregational Church Notice Sunday school as usual at Geyser and Merino. Sunday. June 23. Chil- dren's day exercises at the Geyser Congregational church at 8 o'clock. An almost exclusively children's pro-; gram. Everybody invited.

Minister. for Plaintiffs Highwood Cattle Men Win Their Suits Against the C., M. & P. S. Railway Co. The cattle men from this section who were in Lewistown last week as plaintiffs in a suit for damages against the Milwaukee railway company, re- turned Friday well pleased with the verdict of the jury. Over $4,000 was distributed as damages among the dif- ferent plaintiffs. The Lewistown Daily News of Friday, June 14, gives the follouing concerning the cases: The jury in the case of Mansfield vs. C., M. & P. S. Ry. Co. last even- ing brought in a verdict of $1,540.00 for the plaintiff, after a deliberation of about two hours. The taking of tes- timony was completed yesterday late in the afternoon and the instructions of the court were given just before sup- per. A night session of the court was held at which the attorneys made their arguments. The case went to the jury ot about 9 o'clock last night. Three more cases were to be tried, involving a shipnient of stock made on the same train, from Spion Kop to Judith Gap and then on the Milwau- kee to Chicago. The plaintiffs were William Kernaghan, Julius Bain and Frank Spencer, all ranchers of the Highwood country. In view of the verdict, the attorneys for the defend- ants decided it useless to try the re- maining cases and made a satisfactory settlement with the shippers. The verdict of the jury gave Mans- field damages of $256 per car. for six Icars, and settlement was made on a somewhat lower basis with the remain- ing shippers. Stiles & Devney of St. Paul, represented in persuu by Mr. Deviney, and Ayers & Marshall ap- peared for the plaintiffs. The St. Paul firm makes a specialty of cattle dam- age actions. The attorneys for the defendant were Carl Jefferson of Chicago, assistant general counsel of (Continued on page 2) PURDY TRADING COMPANY Be On Time!
