ST. LOUIS MAN DISCOVERS
new KIND OF Heat

Mr. B. M. Oliver of st. Louis has
invented an amazing device which
ends forever the days of woman's
slavery to dirty, mussy coal and wood
fires. 1t sets into the fire-box of any
kind of heating stove, cook stove or
furnace without changes and just
turning a valve. 1t gives any degree
of heat from a tiny flame to a roar
ing inferno-3 times the heat of coal
if it is needed.
Mr.. Oliver calls his invention the
Oliver Oil-Gas Burner because it
makes it's own gas from $3.50 air and
500 oil, the cheapest fuel there is.
The wonderful story of a woman's
freedom from building fires, carrying
heavy scuttles, emptying ashes, has
spread so rapidly that already v e
100000 burners are being used by
American housewives. Mr.. Oliver
wants every woman to have the use
of his invention. If you will write
to him at 2165-I Oliver Bldg, ST.
Louis, Mo-, you will receive an at
tractive booklet FREE that tells all
about it. Mr.. Oliver is now making
a special Low Price Introductory
Offer. He is also looking for good,
live distributors and will tell you
how to earn $500 a month in full or
spare time if you are interested and
request his FREE Sample Case sales

a series of contests in which nc team
had a large margin. The champion
ship team members all are from the
zinc tank department.
"The fact that the smelter has the
worlds championship first aid team is
due to the fact hat there was in the
plant universal recognition of the
value that would obtain if there were
trained first aid men on every shift"
said Superintendent Wiggin. Dur
ing the elimination contests, 80 or 40
tests were made before a winning
team was picked, and these went to
Salt Lake City and returned with the
title.
1.-THE spirit which marks the win
ming of this title is but further evil
dence of the splendid sportsmanship
exists with the first aid work
ers here at the smelter. The attitude
those who lost in the local COM
petitions has won the admiration of
everybody, and at the same time ev-
erybody knows that the championship
team could not have acquired it's pro-
ficiency had it not been for the CO.
operation of all the force. Credit for
he championship does not all belong

International contests"

MAKE ANTHRACITE
u OF Ignite
BUREAU OF MINES ANNOUNCES
COMPLETION OF SPECIAL
APPARATUS.
North and South Dakota and Montana
Have Big Deposits of Ignite
Which, Through New Invention,

Completion of the apparatus
which makes it possible to manu-
facture anthracite coaI from COM
paratively worthless Ignite has
been announced by the bureau Of
mines in Washington, ID. G.
Efforts will be made at once by Of
ficials of the interior department, 1t
was said, to interest some commercial
concern in the invention, that its ben
efits may be made available to the
coal consuming public.
The Importance Of the discovery
may be realized, the bureau said,
when it is known that the United
States possesses 1,051,290,000 900
tons of easily mined Ignite, of which
$4,000, 100000 tons are located In
North and South Dakota and Mon
tana. This territory annually imports
large tonnages of anthracite and bit
luminous coal.
The bureaus experiments were car
ried out in cooperation with officials
of the Canadian government. An oven
was constructed which was said to
turn the Ignite into fuel having prac-
the same thermal efficiency as
The Pennsylvania hard coal.
The Canadian government after
the oven in operation decided
% construct a similar unit and give
It a thorough test. The Canadian
.ests also proved successful and Can
adian engineers reported to the de-
,artment of mines at Ottawa that the
wen is ga practical, commercial oven,
past the experimental stage"

13 DAYS CLIPPED
FROM SENTENCE
ATTORNEY GENERAL DAUGHER-
TY RULES ON PAT YEON'S
TRIP TO SEATTLE.
Wealthy Havre Man, Arrested for vi
olation Of Dry Law, Is Allowed to
Visit Son While Serving Time in
Jail; FIRST Ruling Of Its kind.

Patrick pat" YeOn, one of the
best known business men of nor
thern Montana and at n time
rated as the largest land and prop
erty owner of this end of the cOun-
" and state, a been released
from the county jail OF Cascade
county and has returned to his
home in Havre.
He was sentenced to rs days in jail
and to pay a fine of $3.50 by Judge
George M. Bourquin in Great Falls
for violation of the prohibition law
and began serving his sentence in the
Cascade county jail June 16. During
the latter part of July a minor son of
Yeon was reported as critically i'll,
and Yeon was granted permission to
visit him by the federal authorities,
going in charge of a deputy United
States marshal and paying all of the
expenses of the trip. The father sat
at the sons bedside until the crisis
had passed, returning to the Cascade
county Jail after 10 days. When
his term of sentence expired federal
authorities of Montana held the trip
to Seattle was in the nature of a
parole for a specified purpose, and
that the time does not count on the
serving of the sentence, but that
Yeon would still have 13 days to
serve.
Ruling was received from Attorney
General H. M. Daugherty through
United States Attorney ]. l.. Slattery
to the effect that the 13 days should
be allowed and that while Yeon was
on the Seattle trip he was also serv-
ing his sentence. The decision is the
first of the kind ever rendered in
this state, if not in the nation, and
the case has attracted much interest,
both from the fact of the surround
ings and the wealth and prominence
of the prisoner involved. Yeon left
for his home in HaVre. From there
he went to Seattle to join his son,
who is still very i'll, but said to be
recovering slowly.
"Pat" Yeon is one of the old set
tiers of the state and is wealthy, his
wealth in and and real estate before
the coming of prohibition being rated
at over half a million. He was pro-
prietOr of a hotel in Havre and at one
time owned several large saloons.
His resorts were among the sights
of the town before the days of pro-
: Yeon was arrested, charged with
having allowed liquor to be sold in a
building owned by him.
His arrest was a sensation. !

likely that western congressman will

ference the following resolution was
adopted:
Whereas, at a conference of repre-

northwest, Canadian provinces, north
western railroads, and national and
state government agencies, held at
Great Falls, it developed that the
grasshopper pest has cost the states
of the northwest in the destruction
of crops, in the past four years, many
millions of dollars; and
Whereas, energetic measures must
be taken to place the pest under con-
troll; and
Whereas, unless SO controlled,
much larger areas and other states
not now affected will be affected in
the near future; and
Whereas, the counties of the state
of Montana and the Canadian prov
fnces, in an effort to eradicate the
pest, have expended several hundred
dollars, and
Whereas, the results SO far, be-
cause of the lack of more general
control, have not been entirely sue

Money and Returns 1t to Its Own
err, Mrs. Carrie Bennets.

How w youngsters, one ID and
the other IL years of age, under
the guise of having been sent by
the Ku Klux Khan, imposed upon
an aged widow and blackmailed
her out OF $3.50, was revealed with
the arrest of the two lads in Butte.
The boys are now in custody of
their parents. Charges may be filed
against them, it is said.
According to the boys when ques.
toned by the probation officer, the
elder of the two wrote the following
note:
ITO Mrs. Carrie Bennets:
"Give this boy $3.50 at once or you
will be killed.
(Signed) "K. K. K"
Woman Terrified
1t was the younger lad who deliv-
cred the note to the woman at her
residence at 927 South Main street.
Greatly perturbed over the threat
contained in the note, the frightened
woman handed over the money which
she had in the house to the boy. Then
afraid to stay at home, Mrs. Bennets
is said to have gone over to one of
her neighbors, where she spent the
night.
Meantime, on receiving the money,
the younger lad is said to have kept
$50, while be handed 500 owe to
his older companion for the purchase
of a motorcycle. The motorcycle,
however, sold at $125 and the young
er lad was forced to detach another
good their purchase. He kept s25,
however.
Repent Bold Deed
Taking their newly bought prize,
the lads had proceeded about a
block on their way when the younger
Of the two boys repented and the
lads decided upon returning the mo-
torcycle and to take back the pur-
chase price which they had paid to
him.
According to the lads, however, in
their confession, the motorcycle deal
er returned but 800 to them and
kept $25. The boys then returned
home. Repenting his act, the older
of the two boys told his grandmother,
who was on intimate terms with Mrs.
Bennets, the story of their escapade.
and handed over the 500, which he
held, to her.
Upon learning the story Chief
Deputy Sheriff Jack Duggan and
Davy O'Connor visited the grandma
Their of the older lad and secured the
500. They then went to the motor
cycle dealer, who turned over the
other $25. After receiving the bal
of the money from the younger
boy, the officers took the entire sum
and returned it to Mrs. Bennets.
