RAILROAD
MEMS CLUB

The Railroad Employees Club of
Montana is the name of the new
club that was organized Sunday in
Masonic hall. The club is com.
posed entirely of railroad men and
is on the same order that the Mon
Partisan Railroadmen's Club was
two years ago.
The club is not the outgrowth of
any political organization, nor is it
to control the vote for any individ-
ual party. 1t is absolutely nom
partisan and the matter of voting is
never questioned. Each member is
to use his own 1qdgmspt on how
he thinks best to vote, but the or
ganization will use all its efforts to
see that everyone who belongs to it
gets to register.
{ The object of this club will be to
promote the welfare, protect the
interests of all railroad employees,
assist in advancement among its
members concerning the railroads,
;andtto inform all members as to
proposed or pendiny legislation
which directly affects the employed
or attempts to reduce the earsaing
power of American railroads. To
encourage by every proper nseBhod
cordial and friendly feeling on the
lpart of the public toward Amesrican
railroads and their business. To
do whatever lawful things Macy be
necessary in order to secure "a fair

Mrs. Berry, Heroine.

The paragraph below is from
the Paris Appeal. The item re-
ferred to was mentioned by the
Message last week:
Mrs. Bert Berrey, south Of
Paris, should receive one Of the
Carnegie hero medals, and doubt
less would if her claims should be
submitted to the proper authOri-
ties. But for her presence of
mind and prompt action little
Guy Threlkeld, 3 year old son OF
C. C. ThreIkeld, would have been
drowned Monday. The little fell
low and a brother aged 9 had
gone to the Berry home to await
the mail carrier and the first init
nation Mrs. Berry had that there
was trouble was when the older
child ran into the house crying
that Guy had fallen into the well!
The little fellow was clinging with
all his might to the tube when she
arrived. Hastily securing a long
pole. she thrust it down into the
well and instructed the child TO
cling tight to it. He managed 10
hold on until almost to the top,
when his grip weakened and he
plunged once more into the de rp
water. Once more he seized the
tube, shook the water from his
face, and cried ont, "Please, Mrs.
Berry, get Guy out. " The cool
headed young woman again low
cred the pole and assured the
child that she would save him If
he would only hold on tight. This
time. by fast eXertion, she raised
him to the curb, grasped him by
his dress and hauled him into the
yard. Though modestly asserting
that she only did what any other
woman would have done under
the same circumstances, Mrs. Der
rey will always be rated the bray,
est of the brave by little Guy 5
