Millions Oldest resident died OF
Friday evening after an illness o.
several months. He was Thomas
Wilson of E., and was 92 years Ol
age. Mr. Wilson, who suffered {
broken hip in a fall about a yeaI
ago, died at the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Edward Calhoun on Chest
nut street. After his injury Mr.. Will
son spent the intervening time with
his children at their homes. He was
a retired farmer and weil-knOwn 10
the people of Broadkill Hundred
having resided for great many
years on a large farm he owned be-
tween Milton and Georgetown, near
Gravel Hill. He is survived by three
sons and four daughters, Ebay,
Thomas, Harvey Wilson OF near Mil
ton; Mrs. Edward Calhoun, Mrs.
Eliza Dutton, of Milton, Mrs. Minos
Wilson, of near Georgetown. and
Mrs. Wesley Bailey, of Georgetown.
Funeral services were held at Beav-
er Dam Church, HarbesOn, on Sun
day afternoon and interment made in
the adjoining cemetery by S. j..
Wilson and Son.
An air plane visited Milton and on
Saturday afternoon about a score of
people were taken up and VOyaged
about the country.
Another serious accident occurred
early Monday morning at the Brick
yard Crossing, east of Milton, when
the morning train struck a truck
driven by John Reed and injured Mr..
Reed and his tWelVe-year-Old son,
Stockton. Mr.. Reed and his son were
returning from his farm that lies
across the railroad from his dwell
ing and it is thought he mistoOk the
freight train on the Maryland-Dela-
ware Coast Railroad for the passen-
ger train due at about the same time,
and attempted to cross over the
tracks without looking for the train.
The truck was struck squarely in
the center, throwing the boy forty
feet, landing on his head beside the
tracks. Mr.. Reed was tangled in the
debris of the truck and was removed
by Sewal Jones, who was loading a |
car with piling nearby, and several
employees of the brickyard. They |
were taken to a nearby house where
DR.. R. B. Hopkins, of Milton, render
ed what medical aid he could. The |
Beebe Hospital ambulance was sum-
moned and the injured taken to the
hospital at Lewes. There is little .
hope for the recovery of the father
and son. This is the scene of the
killing of David Nailor about twelve
years ago when his automobile
struck a passenger train. 1t is one
of the most dangerous railroad eros
sings in the county, the tracks being
far below the level of the surround
ing lands and a train coming west
from Lewes is almost completely
hidden by the deep banks until it
reaches the public road. Stockton
died at the hospital early Tuesday

but little hope for Mr.. Reeds recov-
cry.

LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL BlY-AT-HONE TO BE
ATTENDANCE BREAKS TAUGHT in MONTANA
PREVIOUS lRECORDS PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The success Of the 100000 cash
Prize Letter Contest launched by the
All-Montana Development Associa-
tion August 9Th has so surpassed the
most sanguine expectations of the as
sociation that they have determined TO
make the plan permanent through the
schools of the state, according to W..
A. Selvidge, president Of the associa-
ton.
We have secured the approval and
cooperation of Governor Erickson to
the plan and have written 10 the Clerk
Of the School Board in each Montana
school district asking them to go be-
fore their individual school boards
with the request that half hour each
week in the class rooms be devoted to
teaching The pupils the Importance
of keeping Montana money at honsn,
said Mr.. Salvidge, and buying local
products from local merchants.
The success Of this plan means a
permanent education Of the children,
and Of their parents through the chil-
dren, in the habit of purchasing their
needs from local merchants who pay
the taxes and help keep up Montana
towns.
It is further suggested that the
merchants Of each town get together
and offer prizes for the pupils who
make the best showing at examina-
ton time on what they have learned
in this Buy-At-Home movement. This
win stimulate hte pupils to greater
effort, impressing the idea more
strongly on their minds.
Every mail brings to the secretary
of the All Montana Development Asso-
citation from ten to twenty-five letters
competing in the Prize Letter Contest
and already so may letters have been
received that IL will take the judges
some time to decide on the winners.
The judges of the contest are Gov
ernor Erickson, Ray M. Hart Of the
Hart-Albin Company OF Billings and
20. M. Warden, Manager of the Great
Falls Tribune.
Civic organizations, mems and
womens' clubs all over the state have
begun to boost this Buy-At-Home
Campaign since this Prize Letter Com
test was innaugursted and instead Of
permitting the momentum 10 cease
with the end Of the contest, September
10th, we feel assured that the PERM
anence Of the Buy-At Home move
ment will be placed on a firm fonnda-
ton through this plan of educating
the future citizens Of Montana In the
idea of loyalty to their home people,
said Mr.. Selvidge.
