FLU" CLAIMS ANOTHER VICTIM

FLU" CLAIMS ANOTHER VICTIM
The angel of death has again enter
ed our midst and this time taken to
the "Great Unknown" Clifford Crist,
a young man % years of age,
who resides northeast of Glasgow.
About a week ago Mr.. Crist was
brought to the Detention hospital sick
with influenza, which later developed
into pneumonia. All efforts to mas
ter the dread disease were of no avail
and he passed away Wednesday. His
mother and sister are i'll with influ-
enza at their home, but are recovef-
ing, and in order that they may be
able to attend the funeral, it will not
take place until Saturday or Sunday.
Rev. F. E. Hnry will have charge of
the service.
MI. Crist came to Montana a little
over a year ago, and later was follow
ed by his parents and brothers and
sister. He has two brothers in France
and n in training at Camp Lewis.
He also tried to enter the service but
vas refused on account of being phys
ically unfit. To add to the sorrow of
the bereaved family, word was receiv-
ed OF Tuesday that one of the boys
in France had been severely wound
ed.

A LESSON OFT REPEATED.

A LESSON OFT REPEATED.
The Farmers Cooperative Packing
company of Lacrosse, Wisconsin, fail
ed and a quarter of a million dollars
was sunk in the deal. In cleaning up
the wreck only one bid was received
for the plant, and that was for $751;
900. The lesson is an oft repeated
n &. No class can exist on itself.
Men and their vocations are so inter-
laced in their relations, that for any
class to attempt to live and do bust
ness by itself disturbs normal condi-
tions. In the end such ventures must
suffer. In a flood a gill cannot work
against a raging gallon. Its like the
proposal to put all the Jews in Pal
estine and thus provide them with a
national government. One Jew in his
remonstrance complained that they
would starve as they would have no
m to live off of. The farmer who
farms successfully has no special
need for cooperative concerns, no
more than the business man who is
successful has any need for coop
erative farming. This is the age of
specialization, and it's every mar to
his business and every business ex-
pertly managed, if results are to be
obtained. Put the odds and ends of
savings into Liberty bonds and keep
them there. Turn a deaf ear to the
stock peddlers.

MONTANA BOY HONORED.

The United States Aero commission,
headed by Secretary of War Baker,
and j. D. Ryan of Montana went to
France last month to study first
hand the air needs of the American
army and the allies. While there an
expert air pilot was sent for from
the front to give a demonstration be-
fore the commission, and the honor
fell to a Montana boy, ROLAND Rid
dick, youngest son Of Carl w. Rid
dick of Lewistown the Republican
candidate for congress from this dis
trict. Mr.. Riddick's two sons were
among the first of the boys to volun-
teer from Montana. Both have won
signal honors for valiant air service,
and both have ben commissioned lieu
tenants.
Referring to the matter, Nh. Rid
dick said: "No one questioned the
right of my boys to volunteer their
services and their lives for their
country, because they were Republi-
cans, and no one can tell me that l
have to vote a Democrat ticket to
prove my patriotism. l have whole
heartedly supported the government
in every win-the-war effort, and if
elected to congress, l will there con-
tinue to be just as patriotic, as I
have been in private life. Republican
success this fall will mean a pressing

COUNTY AUDITOR TO
Be ELECTED THIS YEAR
Valley County Now Votes on County
Audit0r-POpular Man Running
on Independent Ticket.

For the first time in it's history
Valley county will elect a county au-
ditor at next Tuesdays election. Un-
der the new classification we are now
entitled to an auditor and H. G. Wolk-
ing, who has been acting as clerk of
the local exemption board for the past
year, has filed his name as a candi-
date on the Independent ticket.
Mr.. Wolking is a life long Repub-
lican and has the endorsement of the
Republican party in this county, but
due to the fact that no candidate ran
for the nomination at the primaries,
Mr.. Wolking was obliged to file on
the Independent ticket.
He has a host of friends over the
county who are interested in his can
didacy and up to the time of going
to press no opponent has been men,
toned as running against him for
that office.

KATHERINE GuSTIN DIES.

After an illness of three weeks,
Katherine Gustin died Friday morn
ing at the Central hospital. She was
born at Burstrum, Mimi, January "a,
1900. A short time ago she moved
to a homestead north of Saco with
her parents from Dickerson, N. D.
She leaves her father, mother, three
brothers and a sister to mourn her
loss, and many friends who loved her.
The only services were those at the
cemetery in the presence Of the fam
lily and the ~pallbearers, because of the
quarantine. Rev. F. E. Henry of the
Congregational church spoke briefly,
in part as follows:
"A flag was placed on the breast
of the dead girl to signify that she
had died as a soldier. A slender girl.
still in her teens, she had spent weeks
the past summer in a hay camp with
several girl friends, taking the place
of men gone to war.
"!After daytime was past, she, to-
gether with others of her SEX, found
work in the railroad shops at Bow
dom 'wiping engines again taking
the place of soldiers at the front.
Here, after a couple Of weeks, she con-
tracted typhoid pneumonia.
"She was brought Immediately to
the Glasgow emergency hospital at
the old Central hotel. But all the
skill and devotion of physician and
nurse proved unavailing when influ-
enza was added, making a trinity of
terrors."
"Take her up tenderly,
Lift her with care;
Fashioned so slenderly,
Young and so fair"

people at the coming election.
The section of the law to be
amended is published herewith. As
the law now stands on the statute
books, real estate and chattel mort
cages filed for record in our state
by residents of the state are subject
to the same taxation as other prop
erty, while mortgages filed for rec
ord by non-residents of the state,
banks or trust companies are not as
sessed.
Feeling that this was an unjust
law, inasmuch as the resident of the
state is taxed while the nonresident
is not taxed, the last legislature pass
ed a law submitting this question to
the voters Of the state for their ap-
proval.
This measure was introduced by C.
j. Baldwin of Bridger, at the 14th
session and was passed but amend
ments were added to it which would
have exempted other property than
mortgages and it was therefore de-
feated by a referendum vote of the
people of the state two years ago. Mr..
Baldwin introduced and was success
full in having this amendment passed
again in the 18th, the last regular
session, and this time the law is just
as it appears on u statute books to-
day with the exception of the words
printed in bold face type, as follows:
Section 2. That section 2 of
article ~, of the constitution of
the state of Montana be and the
same is hereby amnded to read
as follows:
"The property of the United
States, the State, Counties, Cities,
Towns, School Districts, Munich
pal Corporations, and Public IL
braries shall be exempt from tax
alton; and such other property
as may be used exclusively for
the agricultural and horticultural
societies, for educational purpos-
es, places for actual religious wor-
ship, hospitals and places of bur-
ial not used or held for private
or corporate profit, institutions
of purely public charity and evil
dences of debt secured by mort
cages Of record upon real or per-
sOnal property in the State of
Montana. may be exempt from
taxation"
The voters of the state should vote
"YES" on this measure in order that
our own residents may have the op-
portunity of loaning their money in
their state on the same terms
that outsiders, banks and trust COM
panies enjoy.
The passage of this amendment to
the state constitution will not mater
tally reduce the tax revenue of the
state for the reason that most all
mortgages filed for record are either
made out to banks or @non-residents
in order to evade the present law.
1t is only the citizen of ordinary

means and the one who does not know
the provisions Of the present law who
is now compelled to pay this tax. And
inasmuch as in cases of this kind it is
double taxation as the person who
owns the property as we'll as the one
who WINS the mortgage both pay tax
es, the proposed amendment should
receive the support of all right think
ing voters. =

of the war with renewed energy, until
we bring the Huns to beg for peace
by unconditional surrender. We are
going to win this war by force of
arms and not by an exchange of notes,
and no peace talk will be tolerated UNI

arms and admit that they are licked.
In no other way will we have a last
ing peace.
