STATION AGENTS
GET TOGETHER
AGENTS ON KALISPELL DIVIS-
ION FORM AN AGENTS.
ASSOCIATION,

Something of an innovation was
started on this division of the Grea
Northern last Sunday, when all the
agents on the Kalispell division
were banded together into an organ
ization to be known as the Agents
Association of the Kalispell Divis-
ion. The movement was started
by Superintendent w. r. Smith, and
the object of the association is for
agents along the line to get together
every once in a while in order that
they might get better acquainted,
creating a more friendly feeling in
the fraternity, and discussing with
each other their views of carrying
on the business of their stations, and
thus help each other along and make
life easier and happier for all con-
cerned.
An invitation had been issued by
superintendent Smith to all the
agents on the division to take Sun
day off and come to Whitefish.
There was a hearty response, and
every town was represented. The
meeting was called to order in the
superintendent office in the after
noon by Station Inspector Stokes
of Spokane, who explained the OBJ
ject of the meeting, and speeches
were made by Supt. w. R. Smith,
Travelling Auditor l.. R. Smith OF
St. Paul, Travelling Freight and Pas
senger Agent w. S. Herman of Hell
ena, and Hans Walshli of the legal
department of Kalispell.
These gentlemen all spoke along
very interesting lines pertaining to
railroad work in connection with the
agents duties.
Officers were then elected as fol-
lows: President, F. H. Reeves;
first vice president, j. E. Hills; Sec
ond vice president, J. NJ. Montgom-
cry; secretary and treasurer, J. A.
Yates; executive committee, ]. d.
Hunter, j. S. Thompson and J. H.
Trickey.
A vote of thanks was extended
to the officials present for courtesies
extended, and also to all the official
of the Great Northern railway in
general
Mr.. and Mrs. p. E. Galloway, of
the Shaver News company, served a
most delicious dinner for the boys in
the dining room at the Depot restau
rant. with special decorations for
the occasion, which went far towarGs
making the meeting one long to be
remembered. Mr.. and Mrs. Gallo

NOT FAIR TO HOME MERCHANTS
OR THE COMMUNITY.

Bates county, and especially Butler,
have in the past been worked to
death with bankrupt sales and quit
business sales, conducted not by the
home merchants, but by outside
parties, to the detriment of the COM
munity at large in our opinion.
From a general observation of the
results of such sales we believe them
to be very unsatisfactory, not only in
taking a considerable amount of
money out of the community, but in
a failure to satisfy purchasers as we'll.
Buffers home merchants whose
establishments have stood the test of
time are in position and do make as
good prices on standard, up-to-date
merchandise as can be made any
where by anyone, and coupled with
this remains the fact that your home
merchant is not here today and gone
tomorrow, but is always at the same
old stand, ready and willing to make
good any thing unsatisfactory, or per-
chance defective, and extend accomo-
dations impossible for a stranger who
is in the community only temporarily.
The Times derives a considerable
portion af its revenue from its adver-
Using columns, but in refusing to
publish certain advertising this week
we believe that we are acting only
just to our many readers whose
interests we feel at all times are
identical with our own.

PRICE, S1.oo PER YEAR
BATES COUNTY'S SEVENTH AN
NUAL FAIR.

Bates County's Seventh Annual
Fair, which will held at this city Sep.
TENDER 1922, 1911, bids fair to make
the banner year in the existence OF
the Fair Association.
The drouth, which has been gen.
eral, has shown Bates county to be
the garden spot of the middle west,
forging to the front with excellent
prospects of making big crops while
surrounding counties are in straits
which are almost desperate. Mis-
souri, produces nothing finer from her
fertile farms than Bates county con-
tributes in the shape of farm products
and no stock is bred anywhere which
will surpass the hogs, cattle, mules
and horses bred by Bates county's
stockmen whose fame as breeders has
spread throughout the nation.
Bates county has the goods, and
the Bates County Fair is her show
room, open to and visited by those
interested in the products of the
stable and field, from all over the
country. The quality of the display
and the success of the Fair is wholly
in the hands of Bates county's farm
ers and stockmen and they alone, by
their cooperation with the manage
ment of the Association may make for
Bates county an exhibition this year
which no county in the state may
surpass.
The Fair Association is not an or
ganization for pecuniary profit and
the management expects only that
the fair pay expenses. Any surplus
which may ever exist is turned in to
the general fund and used to make
improvements in the succeeding fairs.
The gentlemen at the head of the
association are among the stronges
and most substantial farmers, breed
ers, stockmen and business men in
the county, and they have or should
have the confidence and hearty sup
port of every citizen who has the
welfare of the county at heart.
Some Of our crops Of course have

Essay Contest.

Following is the essay receiving
fifth premium in the Peoples Bank
essay contest.
''Why Has the Peoples Bank of Butler
Succeeded?''
Has the Peoples Bank succeeded?
1t certainly has. But why so? Listen
and you shall hear.
The president of the Peoples Bank
has long been known as one of Mis-
souri's most able bankers.
The cashier of this successful bank
is courteous to all. He treats old and
young, rich and poor alike. He has
grown up in Butler and has gotten
his business experience in this city
and people would rather do business
with man who has grown up in the
city in which he, does business. He
does not forget his courtesy outside
of business hours but is always pleas
ant when he meets you on the street
and acts glad to see you.
The Peoples Bank does not scorn
small deposit and allows interest on
a deposit as small as dollar.
The Peoples Bank is willing to dis
play its adding machine and burglar
proof safe. This safe is another rea-
son for the great success of this bank.
1t makes people feel that they are
safe in depositing their savings,
whether they are great or small, with
the Peoples Bank.
This successful bank is clean
and pleasant inside and it is a pleas
ure for people to enter it.
The Peoples Bank is rightly named
and it is certainly "The bank on
which you can always bank"
