War Savings

Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Stamps are the most democratic
of investments and America ex-
poets every American to show
love of republican institution by
investing in this democratic securi-
ty. The aggregate amount of the
investments and the number of
investors in these War Savings
securities are in a way the answer
of the people of this great Demo-
cracy 10 the call of the cause of
democracy throughout the world
and the vindication of civilization
and humanity.
They afford every person how
ever humble and however small
his means, the opportunity to con-
tribute his part to do his bit, in
this great struggle against the
military masters of Germany who
seek to dominate the world in
contempt of justice and right and
freedom and without conscience
and without mercy.
Surely every American desires
to have a part in the defeat of
autocracy and the success of lib
erty and right.

purposed new line through Fer
gus and Dawson counties, and the
Northern Pacific railroad lands
have been purchased for the pur-
pose of tillage, but owing to the
great distance from already estab-
lished railroad markets have not
been worked to full productive
capacity; and
Whereas the suspension of work
on this new line in the spring of
1917 has worked a hardship on
the settlers tributary to the same
and~is depriving the government
of approximately 100000 bus
hels of wheat that can be raised
in that territory during the next
two years; and
Whereas; the territory through
which the line of railroad is to be
completed is largely prairie coun-
try where construction cost is but
minimum and the added food
stuffs which would be produced
in that territory would aggregate
in value many times the expendi-
ture for railroad building, if the
present settlers could be assured
of a market for their crops in the
fall of 1918 or not later than the
spring of 1919; and
Whereas, the completion of this
road from New Rockford to Lew
istown and from Gilman to Cut
bank will practically add another
transcontinental line from St.
Paul to the Pacific coast, thus re-
lieving the traffic congestion that
will likely exist during the period
of the war; and
Whereas, railroad construction
has always attracted more readily
than any other form of work,
floating labor of the country, and
the ebb and flow of such floating
labor always permits access by
farmers to a larger supply of men

Urge Building Of
c. N, Cutoff
LewistOwn Chamber of Commerce
Pass Resolutions Asking Gov
ernment to Extend G. N. Rail-
road as a War Measure.

The board of directors of the
Lewistown chamber of commerce
held an interesting meeting Thurs
day afternoon and transacted con-
siderable business that it is hoped
will result in much benefit to this
community.
The completion of the Great
Northern Railway from Lewistown
east to New Rockford during the
coming summer was fully discuss
ed. As a needed war measure in
increasing the food supply, re-
lieving the present traffic conges-
ton on the Northern roads, and as
a means of supplying farm help in
the territory traversed by this pro-
posed line, was pointed out to the
government in the following reso-
lutions, which were unanimously
adopted and sent to the congress
sional delegation of Montana.
Other chamber of commerce bodies
in this section of the state and in
North Dakota were asked to take
similar action. The resolutions
follow:
Whereas about eight years ago
the Great Northern Railway COM
pany announced its intention to
build short line from St. Paul to
the Pacific coast, the line already
built to New Rockford, North
Dakota, was to be extended from
city through the western part of
North Dakota to Fairview, thence
through Dawson county and the
eastern part of Fergus county to
Lewistown, thence from Lewis
town to Moccasin to connect with
the Billings & Northern railroad
already completed to Great Falls,
thence from Great Falls through
Gilman to Cutbank to connect
with the main line from St. Paul
to the coast; and
Whereas, portions of this line
have already been completed,
namely: From Great Falls to Gil
man; from Lewistown to Moccasin;
from New Rockford west consid-
cradle distance; from Fairview
west several miles, and from
Lewistown east to the tunnel
which has been completed through
the Judith mountains; and
Whereas, when the survey was
made from Lewistown to New
Rockford and the way purchased
thousands of settlers filed on all
the good homestead lands along

than could be had if no market
for labor was held out except
farm work. Therefore, be it
Resolved, that the Lewistown
chamber of commerce, believing
that the completion of this rail-
road is one of the most important
war measures that can be under
taken, urges the Montana con-
gressional delegation to use every
possible effort to induce the gov
ernment to take up this work
where the Great Northern left off
and push the building of the road
to a speedy conclusion. Fergus

Lost Life i'm Surf

The funeral of Benjamin V. Alex
ander, the young man who met death
in the surf at Wildwood last Sunday,
took place on Thursday, August 18th,
1918, from his home at 1852 north Front
street, Philadelphia. Undertaken In
gersoll took the body up on Monday.
Mr.. Alexander was an employee Of the
electrical bureau in the Philadelphia
city hall. He was about % years Of
age On Sunday, August Is, accom-
panied by his wife and little daughter,
he came to Wildwood for a two weeks
vacation, stopping for the third sum-
mer with Mr. and Mrs. William Dick
inson, AIS west Wildwood avenue. At
the time the accident occurred the
young man was out a considerable dis
lance and in deep water. He must
have come In contact with some object,
or received injuries in some other way,
as there we're marks or cuts on his
back, arm and hand. Many believe
q shark attacked him, as the last words
he was heard to say were: some
thing got me.n Fred Reeves, q clerk
In Corson's store, was among the bath
ers at the time not far away from Alex
ander when he began calling for help.

Miss Mckinley will Sing
Next Sunday NiUht

I am glad to be able to speak of a
concert to be given in the auditorium,
on the evening of Sep. 9th, under the
auspices Of the Civic Club, in which will
appear the following artists: Mrs.
Holtz, who is one of the leading So
pranos in Philadelphia. Her beautiful
voice is heard In numerous large affairs.
Then comes Marie Stone Langston,
famous Bostonisns, with her lovely
contralto voice, and who has made for
herself a large place in the affections of
music lovers.
Mr.. Walter L.. Pontius, who vas
heard earlier in the season, comes back
with his fine tenor voice, and then
the bass is taken care Of by Mr.. Henry
Hotz. With this magnificent quar-
tette, we are to have an operate even
ing in connection with the Orchestra
that will be a gala event. This attrac-
ton should crowd the auditorium. The
program is especially inviting, consist
ing of the famous sextette arranged as
a quartette, and other familiar opera
tic selections.
Now for the past week in the Audi
forum; we have had a feast of good
things. Mr.. Argiewicz, with his cello
appeared to distinct advantage or Tues
day evening.
On Wednesday evening we had the
browning of Miss Marie Huppert as
Queen of the Baby Parade, with patri-
otto music, and a solo dance by Miss
Gladys Love, and a Liberty Dance es-
pecially well rendered by four little
graces, the Misses Love, and Adds.
These children put toishame many very
much older dancers. Graceful and
1.-the of movement they deserved the
applause that greeted them. Mrs. Cor
SOD is to be 20 Ell d ed for the
patience she has taken with these chill
dren and also for her part in making
the Baby parade a success.
On Thursday night we had Mr.. Mey-
er In Spanish dances.
MI. Zetzman also appeared on Sat-
urday evening and played his cornet
with his usual skill.
We miss Mr. Schmidt, the third vio-
linist, who has joined the orchestra Of
the new Schubert Memorial Theatre,
but his place is ably filled by Domeni-
co Bove, who is a well.known concert
violinist in Philadelphia.
Mrs. Hagar appeared as soloist on
Sunday evening evening to a large
house. Her beautiful voice was
better and in response to the encore
that was accorded her for her Magic
Flute Aria, shelsang Roses of Picardy.
In response to an encore, she sang Mr..
Johnson's Lullaby, a most beautiful
cradle song with a swinging melody
and accompaniment that was charm
ing.
The new Liberty songs were given
with gusto, and MI. Pfeiffer leads the
singing exceedingly we'll. We can
begin to appreciate the war songs of
this time and generation, as our for
bears did the songs of the Civil War.
For the coming Sunday evening, the
auditorium will be crowded, for Miss
mckinley comes back to town.
The season is drawing to a close, and
the attendance is growing, auguring
we'll for the success of the season, and
as a programme builder this year Mr..
Pfeiffer has done most satisfactory
work.
