PIONEER AMATEUR
PRODUCER DEAD
"JACK" MGLYNN, WHO DIRECT
ED MANY ENTERTAINMENT
SUCCUMBS IN BUTTE
Had Record for Building Up Reli-
gious Organizations Through Bene-
fits Derived from His Many Drama
tic Efforts.

| John Francis McGlynn, age "a, bet
ter known as "Jack" McGlynn, pion-
eer in the production of amateur
theatricals in Butte and prominently
| identified with a score of organiza-
tions which gave that community its
finest in that form of entertainment
in the past rs years, died at the FAM
lily home, 1916 Clayton avenue,
Walkerville.
Mr.. McGlynn, who has resided in
Butte for 80 years, first interest
ed himself in amateur theatricals in
ST. Lawrence's parish when that
church was first instituted. He had
been professional in his time and
was acquainted with some of the.
foremost dramatic men of the coun-
try.
He assisted in the organization of
ST. Lawrence's first dramatic club
and later coached others from St.
Mary's and more recently St. Johns
of the South Side. His field of work
included everything from the modest
school plays to the more pretentious
dramas and several years ago he,
with others, organized the first all
amateur company of locals which en-
joyed run at Butte theater.
He was generous in his contribu-
lions to charitable and religious in
stitutions in his efforts to produce
entertainment of which they were
the beneficiaries. While he directed
many plays of Irish themes and set
tings he was capable of handling !
standard productions of all kinds.
He was employed recently as an
engineer at the Mountain Con. Fail
ing health prevented him from parti-
in his vocation and avoca-
ton and his death followed a linger-
ing illness.
He was a member of the engineers
union and the Modern Woodmen of
America, VAUDEVILLE camp. Surviv-
Ing relatives include his wife, Mrs.
Mary McGlynn; four sons, Thomas,
Francis, Leo and James; one daugh-
ter, Elma; his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth
McGlynn; sister, Mrs. Jerry Sulli-
van and three brothers, Thomas,
James and Frank McGlynn, all of
Butte. u

The letter written a short time ago
by Mr.. A. R. Wilson of LaFo1lette,
Tenn, brings some more direct EVIL
dence of the value of Pe-ru-na in the
treatment of catarrhal diseases.
1t reads as follows :-sWhi1e attend
ing Billy Sundays great revival at
Knoxville, Tena., last February / con-
tracted cold which weakened my en-
tire system. I have taken only three
bottles of Pe-ru-na and feel like
new man. 1t is a great system builder
as well as great catarrh remedy"
To attempt to even estimate the
thousands who, in the last half CEN
fury, have come to know and appre-
ciate the merits of Pe-ru-na would be
worse than useless. The number is
astonishing and increasing daily.
Your nearest dealer has Pe-ru-na
in both tablet and liquid form. Insist
upon having Pe-ru-na, the original
treatment for catarrh.

81 ROAD JOBS
NOW UNDER WAY
PROJECTS IN STATE REPRESENT
$1,959, 1870 WHEN
COMPLETED.
Federal Aid on These Highways
Equals 81 ,341,195, Says State
Commission; Doesn't Include Coun-
ty and Privately Financed Roads.

There are "a state highway
road projects now under construc-
ton in Montana, representing a
completed cost of 81 ,959, 1873, 40,
according to figures supplied by the
highway commission.
Twenty-four of these project are
new ones inaugurated this year while
the 10 remaining are projects, con-
tracts for which were awarded IN
1922 or previously and which are be-
ing completed this year.
The total mileage of the "a road
contracts is 1869 and the type OF
road varies, gravel surfacing FREEDOM
mating.
Federal Aid Is 81 ,341, 195
OF the nearly two million dollars
being spent on roads for which con-
tracts were let through the state
highway department, federal aid was
received to the extent of 81 ,341, 1866
81 and local or county funds supplied
$617,938.19. The state advanced as
its part of the financing Is per cent
of the amount not furnished by the
federal government on certain pro-
jects, or a total of $50, 252.43.
Contracts awarded in 1928 up to
August 80 totalled s1,252,700. Un-
finished contracts carried over from
1922 had an estimated total cost of
$7O6,43296 and a total length of
TIA miles.
These figures do not by any means
embrace the sum total of all the road
building that is under way in Mon
tana for there are many exclusively
county financed roads, privately fl
nanced and roads repaired and con-
structed by other means. The road
done by the state highway
or rather road built by
virtue of contracts approved by this
commission, represent the big major
ity of the road projects now under
way in this state.
Two Paved Roads Started
Bridges being constructed on the
roads now building will cost 1884,
894.O6, which is included in the APP
two million dollar esti-
mated total cost.

road in Dawson county, to cost s45,-
$685. and the Holmes ayenue-Mon
Jana street road in Silver Bow county,
10 cost $110,765.11.
The largest single project under
way is the Birch Creek-Browning |
project in Pondera and Glacier coun-
les which is to cost S211,190, exclu-
,ive of the bridges which will cost an
additional s52,959.

picture of the man who represented a

But now the stogie is missing "Un-
Gle Joe" has quit smoking. Eighty
seven years old, living retired in Dan

his coffee black in the heyday of his

is frequently seen on the streets, walk

FAKE OIL PROMOTERS
ON THE RUN IN TEXAS
WORTHLESS STOCK SALES
MEN SCURRYING FOR Gov
Err. UNCLE SAM AROUSED.

When the mailed fist of the govern
ment at last descended, there was a
wild scurrying for cover amid the
ranks of take oil stock promoters in
Texas.
For a time previous, because Of
their falsely conceived immunity, they
had been watching Investigators with
disdain. SO calloused had they become
that visitation by postal inspectors to
their haunts was prohtably converted
into an advertising plea for help.
One Born Every Minute
The big. interests are after us. Send
us more money We need your help.
This is a crucial time. Don't let them
get us. If they do, your savings will
be wiped away
Such were the petitions by mail and
telegraph And a majority OF duped
investors kicked in" again. This gives
but faint conception of the high-hand-
ed practices of the fake oil promoters.
Grand Jury Overworked.
When the wheels of justice started
so many fraud charges were
ground from the grist that the grand
jury had to tackle the complaints in
relays.
At the grand jury's first session al
most 100 were indicted. And from the
of evidence being sorted each
day for future presentation, govern
ment officials predict that grounds
have heen found tO cause the Ind1Ct-
ment OF at least 1000 more promoters.

compact almost as the day the troW-
els of the masons nodded them into
shape.
The new Dorchester grew rapidly.
Other colonists came from Massachu-
sets and from elsewhere in New Eng
land, and at the end of so years the
town recorded a population OF close
to 1000 1t was a proud and happy
day for the people Of New Dorchester
when the first church building was
completed, known thereafter as the
"White Meeting House" 1t was the
first of the Congregational faith in all
the southern wilderness, and was COM
pleted early in 100.
The first white Meeting House"
was a quaint structure, with four
sided, high-peaked roof, surmounted
by small tower Here was the drum
that called the people to the services;
and here, too, the sentries or look
out men," were stationed. The origi-
nal white Meeting House" was
burned by the British in 1880, but
another building was erected on the
same spot in 1874, by colonists who
had settled the surrounding sections.
This building was partly destroyed
by the great earthquake OF 1880. All
that now remains OF it are two gaunt,
gray walls.
Sixty years after the founding OF
Dorchester, Carolina, by the New
England pilgrims, the town was
abandoned; first, because It had prov
ed to be unhealthfu in location, and
second, because the land. never fertile,
had become worn out. Some of the
colonists rturned to their homes in
Massachusetts, but most of them set
forth on another pilgrimage, this time
through the Wilderness. They crossed
the Savannah river, and settled in
Liberty county, Georgia, where they
built the famous old Midway church

u. S. PARTICIPATION IS
MOVE TO COLLECT DEBT
THIS GOVERNMENT HAS "DI-
RECT INTEREST IN ECO
NOMIC RECOVERY"

David Lawrence, the well-knoWn
political writer, asserts that the role
OF the United States government in
European affairs has changed from
that OF passive observer to an active
participant" He continues
The subtle reference to direct IN
terest which was made by President
Coolidge in his first address to con-
qress now has been officially inter
preted at the white house to mean
that America henceforth will regard
the debt Of approximately $1,00O,OOO,-
600 owed her by Germany as a rea-
son for direct interest IN the eco
nomic recovery of Europe.
u. S. Badly Treated by Allies.
up to this time the United States
has not interfercd in any OF the va
rious plans or schemes Tor handling
Germany's assets, feeling that the
claims of the allies for separations
were really paramount and that Amer
lean interests would not be impaired.
But the treatment accorded the
United States in connection with the
payment Of, the expenses for the
American occupation OF German ter
ritory since the armistice has forced
another course The claim amounted
to $225,000,000 1t was to have priori-
ty over other payments. In fact, Ger
many did advance the cash for these
expenses, but the allies did not rem-
burse the United States and after a
prolonged negotiation the American
government persuaded the allies to
agree to all arrangement for payment
which will not be set aside by the reg
ular separations payments or agree
ments.
Active Hand Necessary.
But the incident proved that unless
the United States took an active hand
the interests of America would suf-
fer. As the economic situation in Ger
many becomes worse and worse and
the allies discuss measures for the
realization OF money on German as
sets the United States steps in to as
sure herself that her claims will not
be sidetracked. The general claims of
American citizens have been reduced
by recent decision to $500, 100000,
but the aggregate bill of the United
States against Germany, including in
terest will in the end be in the neigh
borhood Of S1,000000,0

NEGROES PAY OLD
DEBTS WITH INTEREST
WORTHY EXAMPLE SET BY
TWO BLACKS WHO HAD ILL
LUCK THREE YEARS AGO.

JACKSON, Ga.-An instance OF
debt paying that is worthy of mention
occurred here the past week, when
two negroes, Charlie Woodward and
Bryant Allen, paid some old debts in
full, including interest. These negroes
got in debt in 1920, when the crash
came. They went away and got pay
ing jobs and earned enough money
to settle in full, including all accrued
interest.
This story is altogether refreshing,
when some are giving up and settling
by the bankruptcy route, and should
serve to strengthen the confidence and
morale of all citizens. 1t shows what
can be done when there is a willing
ness to do.
