TWO ARE KILLED
IN EXPLOSION
Engineer Pitman and Fireman
20 ,rd Meet Instant Death
%szo Wolf Point.
DEFECTIVE BOILER ~ "e ACCIDENT
Brakeman Hottie of DOdsOn and Fire.
man M0n0itu. of Chinook Are
Seriously Injured. Recovery
of Brakeman Doubtful.

John Pitman of Glasgow, and Fire
man Shepard were instantly killed,
Brakeman Hottie of Dodson and a
student fireman named Monoitu of
Chinook, seriously injured short dis
tance this side of Wolf Point on We'd
nesday night, when the boiler in the
engine of their freight train exploded,
tearing the engine in pieces.
The train was coming east when
the accident occurred. A defective
boiler was the cause of the explosion
as near as can be determined by the
evidence obtained at present. Both
the fireman and engineer were found
dead and the two injured men were,
and still are, in very serious condi-
ton. They were brought to the Dea-
cness hospital yesterday, where they
are receiving every attention that is
possible. Hottie was very badly
scalded and Monoitu had both legs
broken and is suffering from COM
pound fracture.
Mr.. Pitman, the engineer, with his
family, came to Glasgow from Havre
last spring and have made their home
here on Second avenue north since
that time. Mr.. Pitman is survived
by his wife and one child.
The coroner's inquest was held in
Wolf Point yesterday.
The body of Mr.. Pitman will be
sent to his old home in Texas for
burial.

seed grains: 'In accumulating stocks
of seed wheat and seed rye, the COM
mittee on seed stocks urge that the
following suggestions be carefully
followed:
1. Save for seed only the best
wheat and rye raised in your COM
munity.
2. Select seed wheats as nearly as
possible by varieties, giving prefer
ence to (1) Marquis, O Scotch Fife,
and (3) Bluestem, in the order named.
The Importance of this lies, not so
much in the difference in their market
values, as the difference in time of
ripening of crops, Marquis being an
earlier ripening wheat.
3. Durum wheat for seed should be
selected for it's cleanliness, it's hard
ness and evenness of kernel. Care
should be taken to secure it as nearly
free from mixture of other wheats
as is possible.
4. In selecting what are known as
"velvet chaff" wheats for seed, you
advise with the committee on seed
stocks. The committee on seed stocks
for this region can be reached by ad-
dressing Mr.. w. L. Oswald, No. 1926
Flour Exchange, Minneapolis.
The Glasgow Chamber of Commerce
and agriculture will gladly help the
farmer and see that he is supplied
with information where he can obtain
the best seeds. A list of the amount
Of seed wheat that will be needed in
Valley county for next year is now
being tabulated by the secretary If
you will be in need of seed wheat next
year advise Secretary Jones so that
he will be able to know the county's
needs.

BANKERS MEET
TO FORM PLANS
Meeting Will Be Held Tomorrow.
Big Drive Launched On
Monday, October Is.
COUNTY'S SHARE TO Be s27O,OOQ
Plan Probably Essentially the Same
AS Outlined BY Executive Com
mittee At Minneapolis. An
Increase of $1O,5OO.OOO.

Plans for raising the $27O,OOO al
lottment of Liberty bonds which has
been apportioned as this county's
share in the second loan will be form
ulated at a meeting Of the bankers
of the county in the rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce and agricul-
ture Saturday (tomorrow) afternoon.
October 18th.
Chairman j. E. Arnot, in charge of
the Liberty loan in Valley county, is
calling the meeting in order to get a
working organization perfected tor
the "big drive" which will start next
Monday and continue all week. Ev-
cry banker in the county will devote
his time to making the bond issue
success, and personal canvass will
be made in every city and the country
districts.
At tomorrow's meeting plans will
be made for carrying on the whirl-
wind campaign, and the best methods
to be used in getting the largest num-
ber of people to buy bonds.
Valley county's apportionment is
$270,000, compared with 100000 for
the first loan. Over $22O,OOO was
subscribed by the county in the first
campaign, and it is expected that the
second issue will be taken up as read
lily. The apportionment for the en-
tire state is $17,5OO,OOO.
This is an increase of $1O,5OO 900
over the state apportionment on the
last loan. Some increase was ex-
pected, because the entire issue is so
per cent larger than that of the spring
loan. At that time the state SUBJ
scribed $15,890,OOO, which was over
$4,000 900 in excess of the apportion-
ment, so the new apportionment was
figured to meet that standard.
The plan of campaign in this county
will probably be essentially the same
as that outlined by the executive COM
mittee of the district, located at Min
neapolis. This district comprises Min
nesota, Montana, North Dakota, South
Dakota, western Wisconsin and north
ern Michigan. The district will raise
$175,0O0,000 of the new $3,O0O,O ,OOO, 900
Liberty loan.

DEER SEASON OPENS

While the big game season began
in Montana Monday, the Indian
summer weather that is general over
the state has made it a closed sea-
son so far as the average hunter is
concerned. Woodsmen and ranch
men who have been keeping close
tab on special bands of deer will pick
off their quotas, but not so the man
from the city. He must wait for
tracking snow.
Deer, elk and wildfowl are the
only game that can now be killed, and
the season on elk and deer is not
statewide.
The law limits the deer hunters to
one animal of any sex or age, except
in Yellowstone, Rosebud, Carter,
Richland and Dawson counties where
the season is closed until October /,
1929.
The season on elk is closed indefi-
nitely except in Flathead, Lincoln,
Teton and parts of Missoula and Pow
ell counties, October l to December
/, and in Madison, Gallatin, Park,
Sweet Grass, Saltwater, Carbon and
parts of Beavehead counties, October
/ to December Is. Bag limit, one elk
per person except in Park and Gala
tin counties, where state game ward
en- may issue special license, costing
$25, to kill not over two.

CHRISTMAS PACKAGES
FOR SOLDIERS IN FRANCE
Must BE Mailed Not Later Than
Nov. Is. Circular Issued
by Postmaster General

1t is essential that Christmas pack
ages for American soldiers in France
be mailed not later than November Is
in order to insure their delivery on
Christmas morning.
In furtherance of this, Postmaster
General Burleson, jointly with the
secretary of war and the secretary of
the navy, have issued the following
notice to the public:
To the public:
The time is approaching to give
thought to bringing Christmas cheer
to the American soldiers and sailors
abroad.
Arrangements have been perfected
whereby the Christmas mail to the
American expeditionary forces in Eu-
rope is to be delivered by Christmas
morning. Without the fullest COOP
GRAFTON on the part of the public it
will be impossible to accomplish this
result.
The three essential respects in which
the public can aid in assuring a
happy Christmas at the front are
mail early, address intelligently, and
pack securely. For this reason it is
urgently requested that all persons
having Christmas mail for the SOL
diers and sailors and the civilian units
attached to the army in Europe OBJ
serve closely the following directions:
L. Mails to reach the soldiers in
France by Christmas morning must be
posted not later than November IS.
2. Every package must bear con-
spicuously the words "Christmas
mail" the complete address of the
person for whom it is intended, and
in the upper left hand corner the
name and address of the sender.
3. Every parcel must be so packed
and wrapped as to admit of easy in
spection by the postmaster No par
eel will be dispatched to France that
has not the postmaster's certificate
that it contains no prohibition articles.
(Signed) A. S. Burleson,
Postmaster General.
(Signed) Newton D. Baker,
Secretary of War.
(Signed) Josephus Daniels,
Secretary of Navy.
The time of sailing of transports
and regular liners, the examination of
parcels on this side so as to obvate
their having to be examined by GEN.
sors, and the uncertainty of land
transportation on the other side has
to be allowed for. 1t is essential also
that the packages should contain no.
thing that is unavailable under the
parcel-post regulations of this coun-
try; and that the parcels shall be Sc
curely wrapped, but may be readily
opened by the postmaster to deter
mine the character of this contents.
Measures have been taken to have
packages received in France, which
are marked for Christmas delivery, de-
livered on Christmas morning. Par
cells so marked will be held at con-
venient stations for delivery on that
day. This will insure a real Christ
mas to our boys in France if parcels
are mailed here promptly, and pre-
vent the Christmas character of the
parcels being destroyed by too early
delivery.
The rate of postage on parcels to
members of the American expedition
ary forces in France is IL cents per
pound from any place within the
United States.
