DO YOU KNOW

That what renders sale tirc proof IS the moisture held in the intetmeleeular spaces of the fire proof eompositionP When the safe gets hot this moisture is driven by the exterior heat into the interior Of the safe in the form of steam, thus keeping the interior temperature of the safe below the point of ignition or charring To prove this, open Herring Hall Marvin safe after a hot fire and you will find that everything inside the safe, owing to the condensation of this steam, has been protected.

DO YOU KNOW

That any competent burglar can open the ordinary safe i'll a very few minutes by either knocking of the inside ; hinges and prying of the door, or by drill ing around the dial and throwing the bolts, or by driving in the spindle of the lock- It is practically impossible for bnrglar to open Herring Hall Marvin safe by any of the above methods Why Because, as we have seen, it has outside hinges which can be broken off without affecting the joint between the door and the jamb; 1t has a tive-ply hardened chrome-steel plate be hind the dial. absolutely undrillable, thus protecting the lock; and two solid should CTS on the lock spindle between which this chrome-steel 'undrillahle plate fits Con sequently, even the regular Herring Hall Marvin fire proof safes are under ordinary conditions, practically burglar proof ex- cept for blowing.

That the angle frames of cheap" safes are merely riveted together, not welded and the joints filled in with putty and paint? When these safes get hot the frame of course expands and if they do not al ways literally falls apart they at least open up enough around the door to let the steam out and the heat in, so destroying the hold ings of the safe. Paint and putty nowhere else cover such "a multitude of sins as in cheaply constructed safes made to sell at a low figure to a gullible public. Notice from first paragraph how the Herring Hall Marvin safes, large and small, are con Strueted.

knobs on the hinge-sde of the safe door, which fit into sockets on the hinge-sbde of the safe, have but a fraction of an inch of holding length and being only cast, can readily be broken out. Herring Hall-Marvin safes have out side hinges of malleable iron which can be broken off entirely without affecting in the slightest degree the security of the door, because of their projecting and interlocking rear ianges. Furthermore, Herring Hall Marvin safes are all equipped with pall bearing hinges which prevent the heavy doors from sagging and binding

The Burglar Was Scared

The Plentywood Tanner & Best store
was broken into Friday night by some un-
known party. The entrance was affected
in the rear breaking window. The poor
devil seems to have had hard time Of it
as the blood marks on the window sill
indicated that his hand had been cut in the
glass. As soon as he got through the win
dow he evidently lit on pile of crockery
that came down like thousand bricks,
and the broken jars of all kinds are mute
witnesses to the fact that there must have
been something doing just at that time. No
chance here to use the soft pedal or put on
the brakes. He must have thought that
the Russian army was at his heels as he
plainly made hurried getaway through

The Maltaties who were with US

They were quite disappointed to
find Saco all of unit as to where

something unusual for Saco, to
be all of one mind on any one

County division looks good to a

made on the part Of Malta and
Saco to get together and get some

COUNTY DIVISION MEETING
Rsusing Meeting at Saco, Saturday. Saco Voted to
Favor County Division Providing the East
Line of New County was Placed 10
Miles East of HinsdaIe

A County division meeting was
held in Taylor's Hall last Saturday
evening and large crowd was
present. A delegation from Malta
came down on the skidoo and pre-
sented the Malta view. Those
present from Malta were as follows
Dan'l Mckay, Mayor John A.
Tressler, Fred Hall, Mr.. Edwards.
Mayor Caselberg.
The division scheme as form
ulated by Malta is practically as
follows: Take the east lend oi
Choteau county as far west as to
within ten miles of Harlem. Take
the west end Of Valley county as
far east as Beaverton or SIX miles
east OF Saco. This proposed new
county would have the required
four million OF taxable property.
A poll Of Saco had previously
been taken together with several
meetings heretofore and these so
far consulted seemed to be willing
to go into the new county, provid-
ing the east line was placed about
ten miles east of Hinsdale. This
seems to be opposed by Malta.
Their reasons are that you CAN'T
get Hlnsdale to come into the new
county. The meeting Saturday
night developed the tact that Saco
was unanimous for division with
the east line placed east of Hins-
dale. A vote was taken on that
particular point. A committee oi
two, Mr.. Broadbreoks and Mr..
Riemer were named to 60 to Hins-
dale with two from Malta and look
over the ground and report if i,
were possible for Hinsdale to come
in without a fight.
Malta seems to be determined
not to put the line east Of Beaver.

Not being satisfied with the results OF

has been filed with the town clerk.
So there will be two names on the ticket

next will be the county officials.
The nomination Of county seats will be
made by petition. ANY town may become

The county officials are to be nominated

committee or set of men can dictate who
are to be The candidates. There may be
two or three sets of candidates nominated.
Republican. Democratic and socialist. The
same as at a general election.
All this work OF nominating county seats

petitions have been approved by the county
commissioners and before the special elec-
ton. This interval will be not less than
60 days and not more than I2o days.
So there will be ample time to deliberate

The only thing that there is any great
necessity for haste is in getting the petit
