By Emily Mayer The issue getting the most press in the Aug. 17, 1918 edition of The Havre Plaindealer was the aid to farmers from the federal government. The rules of how to secure the aid were listed, that efforts were being made to hasten the speed of getting the seed grains to farmers, praise from the editor of the Plaindealer for the aid program, and a form for farmers to fill out to receive the aid. Of course, the operative word here is “aid,” which was in the form of a loan to farmers. For regular readers, please kee...

Ah, Paris, you are going in the toilet, or as the city officials prefer “le urinoir.” “Paris residents peeved at very public eco-friendly urinals” reads the Aug. 13 headline to a Reuters article by Jack Hunter.

Out our way, one begins to notice that old codgers like myself enjoy coffee on the porch and memories of the past as much or more than nearly anything else. This morning, with forest fire raging in all directions here in my now — home in Colorado, I ignore the smoke that hazes up the horizon in all directions and sit with coffee and recollections from Montana. Some of you recall Jack, the Rez dog my former wife demanded I come and rescue while she was working at Rocky Boy. A face full of porcupine quills needed attention, so...
“I gave My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard,” (Isaiah 50:6). That Jesus has a beard is proved by the Prophet Isaiah who writes that Christ gave his cheek to those who pulled it out. This section of Isaiah’s prophecy belongs to what has been named the Servant Songs. It is one of four, and each describes this Servant as one who suffers for the transgression of God’s people. The Hipster culture left aside; that this Servant has a beard is a significant detail. For by it we know that he is a man. He is a human being w...
You know, Lord, a friend was chatting the other night about her wise old father, who commented about how the old days contrasted with the present. He’d told her that when he was a young man courting in the evening, sitting with his “intended” in the parlor, time was measured by the deliberate strokes of the old grandfather’s clock. He said that the old clock seemed to say: “There is plenty of time, there is plenty of time.” Modern clocks, he told her, tick really fast and say, “Time to get busy, time to get busy, time to...
