ly business and social meeting at the
Erickson hotel Tuesday evening.

ed to membership in the League.

Red Gross Seal Sale
The sale of Christmas Red Gross
clubs throughout the state, and the
Seals is handled by the women's
matter of the sale of seals in Wolf
Point was taken up at the meeting.
Mrs. Cook, who is chairman of the
work in Roosevelt county, appointed
Mrs. H. B. Mason as head of a com
mite to handle the work here. 1t
was voted that each Civic League
member take a dollars worth of the
seals and either sell them or use them
herself. All those at the meeting took
their quota of the seals and some of
them considerably more than the re-
quired amount. Mrs. Kenneth King
and Mrs. w. D. Harvey will canvas
the business district, and other Lea
que members will work in their own
residence neighborhoods. 1t is ex-
pected that the League members who

ming will secure their quota of seals
within the next few days from Mrs.
Cook or Mrs. Mason so that the can
vass of the town may be made early.

PROMINENT SIDNEY MAN DEAD

Sidney Herald The entire com
munity was deeply shocked on last
Friday evening upon hearing of the
death of w. d. Lowry, vice-president
of the Richland Lumber Company,
which occurred at Lambert between
the hours of $50 and 800 o'clock
that evening in the office of the Rich
land Lumber Company. Sheriff Sull-
ivan and the Coroner, Mr.. Coombes,
Immediately went to the scene and
a coroner's jury was impaneled which
brought in a verdict that the deceas-
ed came to his death fro ma gun
shot wound, cause or person unknown.
The sudden death of doc" Low
ry has brought the bitter cup of sor-
row to the lips of friends and rela-
tives. His was a heart of gold He
was one of natures noblemen in its
truest sense-braye, generous, manly.
His was THE soul of honor, and his
friends and friendships were sacred
to him. We doubt whether there was
a resident in Richland County who
was better known or better liked than
Mr.. Lowry.

The HERALD'S FORCE
IS AGAIN COMPLETE

For almost two months, or since the
departure of Bill Taylor, The Herald
has been without a regular foreman
of the mechanical department. A
couple of pick-ups e~ndeavored to fill
the gap temporarily, but either failed
to come up to Mr.. Volstad's idea of
efficiency or had some other short
comings. The result was a heavy load
on the rest of the force long hours
and general Reorganization. All this
however, did not prevent the shop
taking good care of an unusually
heavy run of business.
So there is great satisfaction in
announcing that the services of Ross
E. Shaver have been secured, per-
manently it is hoped. Mr.. Shaver is
an all-around newspaper man and
printer, skilled and experienced in
all departments of the business. Dur
ing the past dozen years he has filled
engagements with the Minneapolis
Tribune, a paper at Osakis, Mimi,
on the Argus at Lewistown,
and editor of the Big Timber Pioneer,
and just before coming to Wolf Point
vas with the Livingston Daily enter
prise as a member of the managerial
force. He has a record of high class
work, and is a union man, acting as
secretary of the Livingston local
Mr.. Shaver is now on the job and
his wife and three children are here.

"STOP, LOOK, LISTENw
SAFETY FIRST ALWAYS

Grade crossings almost daily take
their toll of human life, which seems
to be held cheaply by the persons
whose carelessness Is responsible for
the tragedies That there is no ex-
cuse for collisions between railroad
trains and motor cars on crossings is
a belief strengthened by the circum-
stances attending nearly every acct
dent of this kind The rule may have
a few exceptions, but they are very
small in comparison with the distress
lngly large number of fatalities suf-
Tered. Every driver Of a motor car
knows that when he travels a high
way he will encounter railroads and
will cross their tracks. He also knows
That a heavy train, running rapidly,
cannot be stopped as easily as a motor
car and that it should be given the
right of way at all times. This puts
the responsibility upon the motorist
where it belongs, and it is an easy
responsibility if ordinary care is tax
en- in the operation of a motor car.
Heed The Signs
On the country roads and the high
ways approaching railroad crossings
warning signs are placed sufficiently
distant from the tracks to permit the
motorist to slow down or to stop. The
motorist who does slow down, who
looks and listens and only proceeds
when he knows positively that the
road across the track is clear, runs
little or no risk whatever. If he takes
the added precaution to make sure
that his car has sufficient momentum
to carry it over the tracks without
s9oeJ gu 4eq4 pres 90 ueo 2! '5uIddols
no hazard whatever 1t seems that
these observations are easy enough
for anyone to make, and it almost
seems that since they do protect life
and property, every driver would be
very sure to make them In nearly
every cas- of accident on railroad
crossing the driver has failed to stop,
look and listen 1t cannot be any
thing but carelessness that causes a
driver to steer a motor car across a
railroad track without loking to see
whether a train is approaching.
A Safe Rule
A successful driver of a motor car
who has never been in an accident of
any kind and who has driven for man
y years, explained his success by say
ing that he always drove in such a
way that he could not be surprised
by other traffic. If he approached a
street crossing, an intersection of
roads or a railroad track, he always
held his car at a speed that would
make il possible for him to stop be-
fore he reached the danger point.
That plan is simple, easy and sensible.
If all motor car drivers adopted it,
accidents would be reduced to a min
imum.
