THE AMERICAN RED CROSS
By FREDERIC ] H4SKIN

with the Gold Cross OF Baden and the
Iron Cross OF Germany. IL was through
her Efforts that the American Red
Cross OF today was organized In 1881
and she remained It's active president
until 1904.
The International Red Cross acts
under the only universal conserva-
ton treaty in existence. One after
another all the nations OF the earth
have signed the revised agreement OF
1906 and its operations have since
been extended To naval warfare by the
terms OF the Treaty OF The Hague.
Among the last nations to recognize
the benefcent purposes OF the Red
Cross were the Asiatics, but during
the bloody RussoJapanese struggle
the Mikado's men proved TO be among
the best organized body OF relief work
ers In the world. The Japanese Red
Cross organization today has l,522. 900
members and in spite OF the frightful
inroads made upon the countrys re-
sources by the war. the annual Red
Cross revenue In 1909 was $4,000. 900.
Nor did they allow the strain Of the
war TO deplete the permanent fund by
single yen. This fund now exceeds
s5,OOO,O0O and II is expected that II
Will be increased TO $780, 900 by 1918.
Since the American Red Cross was
reorganiZed In 1906 President William
II. Taft has annually been elected AZ
list chief executive. It's accounts are
audited by the war department and the
chairman and five members OF the
central committee are representatives
from the departments OF state. treas
ury. war. Justice and navy.
The work OF the American Red
Cross Is divided into three depart
ments-war, national and information
al relief. The war relief board has
in Its possession complete list Of
every coastwise vessel suitable for q
hospital ship. so that II can be char
tered at a moments notice. With
this list there are accurate specifica-
tions and estimates OF cost for equip
ping these ships for hospital service.
With equal thoroughness the study OF
civil hospitals. ambulances, private
automobiles and kindred subjects In
being carried on SO that In time OF
war there will be no danger OF unpre-
paredness In any emergency. Upon
this same department devolves the re-
sponsibilty OF organizing courses for
''first-aid" instruction throughout the
country, not only for wartime pur-
poses but for mine disasters, railroad
wrecks and similar emergencies
The board of national relief looks
after relief work following great na-
tional disasters, such as the San Fan
| cisco earthquake. the Johnstown
| food and the Galveston storm. The
! international relief lends a helping
hand 10 other nations In times Of az
| Fiction such as the Mt. Pelee erup-
! ton. the Messina earthquake. and tho
| famines OF India and Russia
! In recent years the Red Cross has
been so systematic and thorough In
It's distribution Of supplies and money
! in times OF disorder and confusion
which invariable follow catastrophies
that most disbursements Of relief
funds are now made through its repre-
sentatives.

ADVERTISING TALK.

truth about its circulation and
charging everybody a rate that ia
never questioned.
Mr.. Quinn and Mr.. Auer had a
talk over the adver-
Using proposition. Mr.. Quinn
did not know just exactly how -
proceed, but Mr.. Auer. having
lived in the community all his
life, knew pretty well the senti-
ment of the people, and advised
Mr.. Quinn how to proceed with
his advertising-more than that,
he helped him with the prepare
ton of his copy.
His plan involved the adver-
Using of STORE INTEGRITY,
STORE SERVICE of the SUI
perior sort. and giving THOR
lOUGH SATISFACTION TO pur-
chaserS.
The advertising covered every
phase of these three cardinal
principles. Every advertisement
made 1t plain that Mr.. Quinn
wanted to give his customers
dollars worth for a dollar; that
HE STOOD READY TO
MAKE GOOD anything he sold
| if it didn't turn out to be as he
represented it. II was, therefore,
easy for him, within a very short
time, to build up a fine business.
The business is still growing. He
has been there row two years and
half and his store is better
known than almost any other in
town. The business has grown
from nothing up to first place,
and this has been accomplished
in the face of the strongest kind
of competition. The success Of
his business is due, as his COM
petitors realize. TO his good adver-
Using. and some day they, too,
will get into the newspapers and
do business along the same lines.
Honest advertising in any COM
munity creates other honest adj
vertising, and the queer part of It
is that each house doing it pros
pers, no matter how many COM
petitors there are in the field.
If all drug stores were to ad-
vertise as Mr.. Quinn does they
would prosper proportionately.

Visits Hedges.

George Grayson, who first became
identified in Montana history As years
ago, came over from IIarlowtOn Sun
day with Oscar RAIDER and got busy
greeting his old-time friends. Mr..
Grayson spent the past winter at his
old home in Kentucky. He, without
doubt, has made more overland trips
with pack horses, into British Column
bia and the western Canadian county
than any other living person. Mr..
Grayson, while of a quiet disposition
sometimes review, with his old-tlme
friends many things that have actu-
ally happened. He has been ac-
duainted with the indians OF tie
Northwest ever since his arrival IN
the west. While he has never taken
any sides with the Indians in their
petty wars, he has, Gpon many occa-
sions, acted as mediator in settling
their differences. Mr.. Grayson re-
marked frequently upon the rapid
growth the west has made during the
past few years. "A few years ago"
he saws, Il never dreamed OF seeirg
so many settlers pouring into the
country and settling upon these dry
benches. We o,d-timers thought tn S
dry land useless, except for the graz
ing that it afforded to stockmen. 1t
is marvellous, and what there is yet to
come is far beyond my comprehen-
sion. Hedges Herald.

'REBEKAHSENTERTAIN
Moore Degree Team Give the Re-

Candidates

The degree team of the Rebekah
Lodge at Moore came to Harlowton
Wednesday to have charge of the
initiation of four candidates into the
local lodge. The Moore team was
invited to have charge of the meet

Rice gave the work in a splendid
manner, which brought forth hearty
applause from the local members.
The candidates that were initiate d
were, Mesdames Hawley and La
Fever and Misses Nellie Harden and

The party from Moore returned on

CLEANUP
Time is Ripe For Citizens to Clean
up the Yards and Vacant
Places.

Summer will soon be here, and lit
tie effort has been made by many OF
the citizens to cleanup their back
yards and other vacant spots, and
thus make the town more attractive
looking. Harlowton needs this work
more than most towns, as there is en-
tirely too much debris of various
kinds to be found on the vacant
spots.
Last year a civic holiday was de-
clared by the mayor for this purpose,
which resulted in beneficial results.
This has not been done this year, but
tie citizens should have sufficient
civic pride to perform this work with
out any urgency on the part of the
town council or any other organiza-
tion.
Tidy the back yard, and see if the
result in appearance is not sufficient
to compensate for the trouble taken.

GAP VICTORIOUS
Poor Fielding and Stick Work by
Locals Resulted in Defeat at
Judith GAP.

The inability of the local team to
connect consistently coupled with a
comedy of errors caused the downfall
of the Harlowtonites at Judith Gap
Sunday. The team wearing the ma
room for Judith Gap did some clever
fieldiug stunts and found little trouble
in finding the slab artists that did the
singing for Harlowton. When the
smoke cleared away John Mansfield,
the lone score keeper, whispered to
his comrades the sad news, 'It's to
49," and then he laughed a cold,
heartless laugh, just to show that lie
harbored no i'll will towards the
victorS.
The first part of the game gave ex-
citement and sport for the most en-
thusiastic, but as time wore on and
the breach widened, the faithful fol-
lowers of the Harlowton team lost
their CHEEKY voices, and even the stel-
lar rooter left the game before it was
finished, sadder but wiser man.
Although the game was one-sided
affair there were several brilliant
plays on both sides that enlivened the
occasion, and gave merriment to the
large crowd that had assembled. The
Harlowton people came home on the
freight, as they were unable to catch
the afternoon passenger. Among
those that sang, ran foot races, and
performed other feats of valor. was
Harry Mckay, who is the warmest
kind of fan.

FINE EDITION FOR
THE .MUSSELSHELL
Sam W. Teasarden Brings out a
Very Handsome
Paper.

The Argus presses are busy these
days with mammoth special edition
for the Musselshell Valley, arranged
and edited 10y Sam w, Teagarden, of
this city.
The edition is Of pages, magazine
form, and is printed on high grade
book paper. The front page is COM
posite engraving of farm scenes in the
MusselSheil country, and there is also
a full page engraving of lIarlowion,
the "Queen City of the Musselshell."
Both are works of art. The remain
ing pages will also be illustrated with
engravings from farm scenes.
Mr.. Teagarden has rare faculty
for gathering essential facts and data
and arranging them in an interest
compelling style. The descriptive
text is in his usual fine style, and it is
evident that in the entire work he
has been at his best.
Twenty thousand copies of the edi-
tion have already been ordered, and
it is believed this number will be sub
st tantially increased when the papers
are ready for delivery.
The sending broadcast in OTHER
states of literature of the high order
of this one must have the effect OF
compelling attention to the oppor-
tunities offered new settlers in the
great Musselshell country, thus stim-
ulatng the growth of its various
| towns.
The hustling city of Harlowton has
| led off in this special edition enter
prise with an initial order for 10000
copies, and the Cory Munger people,
who are handling a big tract of land
at New Shawmut, in the Musselshell,
have given similar order.-Argus.
