SHELLEY WINS JOB
As DRY AGENT
G.. @. p. National Committeeman Vic
tori0us in Battle Of Factions.
Antagonism of Riddick and Dixon
Wing Fail to Stop Party Boss.

Washington, Aug. DISAPPOINTMENT
of 0. H. P. Shelley, Of Helena, as
federal prohibition director for Mon
tana, succeeding L. i. Devlin, was
announced Saturday by the internal
revenue bureau.
Helena, Aug. 13.-O. H. p Shell
ley, of Helena, appointed Saturday to
succeed L. J. Devlin of Havre as
federal prohibition director for Mon
tana, is Republican national COM
mitteeman from Montana. His ap-
pointment by the bureau Of internal
revnue over the vigorous protests of
Congressman Carl w. Riddick.> and
despite the open hostility between
him and the present state admins
tration, marks signal victory for
Mr.. Shelley.
During the legislature the Dixon
faction Of the Republican party en-
acted law intended to oust Shelley
as national committeeman. The Re-
publican state central committee
meeting later and acting presumably
under the provisions Of the law re-
ferred to, recommended State Sen.
ator @. H. Junod of Madison county
for the position of national commit
teeman.
Senator Junod, however, was moi
appointed and the national committee
recognized Shelley as the duly elected
committeeman from this state unit
his four-year term expires. The bat
tie over the federal appointments il
Montana has ragged INCREASINGLY eve
since. Mr.. Shelley has lost out OF
some of them, but he has won th<
most important, that of state prohi
bition director, at salary Of $4,000
year.
Since the time when the game O.
distributing the federal patronage op
ened, Mr.. Shelley has had the refus
al Of a number Of important positions
| among. them being that of postmaste
of Honolulu, another diplomati
post in South America, and other an
smaller ones too numerous to men
tin, all of which he declined becaus
he did not wish to leave Montana.

his mind was bent on matrimony, and
greatly surprised his many friends in
this city and surrounding country py
returning home with bride.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moe were met at the
train by a crowd of young ladies who
handcuffed Mr.. Moe and took him
down to the county Jail on big
truck. After letting the young gentle:
man ponder in solitude over what
he had. done he was taken around
to the court house offices and present
ed as the new benedict. He was only
able to gain his release from his cap
tors by the promise of setting up the
candy and cigars, which he readily
did. In the meantime, Louis Moe,.
brother of the groom, escorted his Sis
ter-in-law to his home in the south
part of town.
On Saturday, August 9th, at the
home of the brides parents, Mr.. Ole

holy bonds of Wedlock, Rev. ]. N.

Hoisington officiating. The wedding.
was quiet, only the immediate family
being present.
The beginning Of this happy ro-
nance dates back to the Worlds War
when Mr. Moe was in training at the
Medical Officers training camp at
Fort Riley, in 1918. 1t was here that
he became acquainted with Miss Edna
L. Hall, and which friendship culnli-
mated in their marriage.
Mrs. Ole Moe is a daughter of::Mr.

OUTLOOK GENERAL
HOSPITAL OPENED
Many Cases are Now Receiving At
tention-Girls for Training Course
Wanted-Dr. Sells and Miss JOrgen-
son in Charge.

At meeting Of the board Of direc-
tors on August 3rd, it was decided to
reopen the Outlook General Hospital.
This hospital will be as completely
equipped as any hospital in the North
west and one that the people of Sher-
idan County can be proud of.
An expensive X-ray has been or
dered and will be installed as soon as
the Victor X-ray, corporation can
send their expert to install it.
The hospital was opened on August
5th with six patients entering the
first five days. Four cases have been
operated on in the past week, two OF
them being appendectomies.
About a dozen confinement cases
have engaged rooms and large num-
Der of tonsil cases have applied for
admission before school opens.
DR.. Sells of Outlook was appointed
manager and Miss Jorgenson Of Min
neapolis has been engaged as Super
intendent. Miss Jorgenson is at pres
ent completing a post graduate course
in the east and is considered one OF
the best nurses that ever entered st.
Mary's hospital of Minneapolis. She
will report for duty in a~short time.
The board of directors feel proud OF
the fact that they were able to en-
gage her as she has had five and one
half years experience in the hospital
work and although they will have to
pay her very large salary they fee!
that they would rather have one thai
| is fully capable of undertaking the
work than to hire one Of less expert
ence. She was recommended to DR.
Sells by the Sisters Of ST. .Mary's
Hospital of Minneapolis as being the
most suited nurse they had for the
position of Superintendent.
! A limited number of girls who wish
to take up training will be received
in this hospital and training classes
will be established. Those wishing t.
take training can apply to the hos
pital for further information.
The hospital will be open to all doc
tors providing they are graduates o.
some accredited medical college.
/! All patients entering the hospita
have the right to call their famll!
physician or any outside physician
thev may choose, providing he is
/ rraduate of recognized medical Col
leg4, and in good standing.
Dr.. Ewing of Kenmare has agree'
to act as consulting surgeon in an!
case he may be called.
It is hoped that all surroundin,
Iphysicians will join in using this hos
pital and special invitation will b.
Extended to them in forming a hos
/ pital staff, with the idea of discussin,
their cases; of holding clinics; OF Civ
/ ing instructions to nurses in training
and of giving whatever advice the.
i may think necessary to the board o

MAKE HIT IN PERU
American Jackies Thoroughly at
Home in Lima, the Capital.
Cafe Managers Find It Saves Trouble
to Have Bill Agree With Menu
Prizes and Change Correct

Calla.-A strange language, q still
more puzzling currency and exchange
rate and a strike of chauffeurs and
coach drivers during the Atlantic
fleets visit to Peru did not prevent
American SAILORS from filtering into
every nook and Granny of Lima, seven
miles from this port, from the hum
blest saloon to the cathedral.
They may have lost a little in ex-
change or paid more for a meal than
the average Peruvian, but the smiling
storekeeper and cafe manager found
1t saved them time and trouble to have
their bill agree with menu prices and
their change correct. For instance:
In one of the best hotels a tanned
bos'un called for the bill for himself
and three companions.
mo" he declared. ITS too much,'
as the waiter laid down a bit of paper
with a column of figures on it.
How do you know it's too much;
you haven't looked at it YETI" one of
his friends demonstrated.
ITS always too much the first
time" the bos'un replied without NOV
ing his hand from the pile of Peruvian
currency he had placed on the table.
1--WE been in France, and | know"
A long argument ensued in English
by the sailor and Spanish By the
waiter.
The head waiter came, tried his ten
words of English and also beat a re-
treat, to be replaced by the manager
of the hotel.
Look here" said the bos'un after
ascertaining that the manager under
stood him, more or less. "That waiter
tried to gyp us. He said we owed
twelve of these cigarette papers (point-
ing to a Peruvian sol, worth about 45
c%ents). l figured it up from the menu,
and we only owe eight. How about
it?'
The manager glanced at the bill and
then at the bos'un. "All right" he
said, and bowed the four out.
"What did l tell you?' were the last
words of the bos'un as he reached the
street.
The navy's -Four n" yell echoed for
the first time from the high, vaulted
Ceilings of the aristocratic National
club of Lima during the visit of the
Atlantic fleet and created a scene
seldom equaled in that magnificent
relic of the Spanish occupation.
Following a reception and banquet,
Peruvian orators excelled themselves
in expressing their best wishes for the
Atlantic feet and the United States.
In concluding his eloquent response,
Vice Admiral II. p. Jones suggested a
navy yell.
Give them the four Ms, with one
navy and three Lima's, the leader
shouted, and then led a cheer that
shook the building. The sight Of a
