Electricity's growing Importance on
the farm will be demonstrated clearly
to hundreds of thousands of American
farmers during May, including many
farmers in this vicinity, according 10
Simon Swanson, local Delco-Lght
dealer.
The entire field organization of the
Delco-Light Company has been notl-
fled that May is national Delco-Lght
demonstration month, the representa-
tive in this city says, and every effort
will be made during the month to
show farmers just what electricity can
do right in their own homes.
The Delco-Light Company provides
its leading sales representatives over
the country with special Delco-L Light
farm electric plant and a Dbl electric
residence water system demonstrating
equipment. By means of this portable
equipment, the dealer is enabled To
take Delco-Light to the farmers own
door to demonstrate its benefits.
"There is a great deal of interest II
rural identification, principally, be
cause it is absolutely in class by 1T
self, as far as the service it gives i
concerned" says Mr.. Swanson. "Llgh
and power are two of the most tan
gible things in existence, especially o.
the farm. Through the medium o
Delco-Light electric plants and D.
water systems, electricity and runnin

BANKERS OFFER BIG
REWARD FOR DEAD
HOLDUP ARTISTS
Montana Bankers Association Deter
mined to Stop Bank Banditry in the
State-Say "Only Good Bandit is
a Dead One"

About five years ago the Montana
Bankers Association was compelled
to spend over fifteen thousand dollars
($15,000.00) in aiding peace officers
in the apprehension, prosecution and
conviction for short prison terms a
bunch of bank bandits who were OPP
Grating in this state.
For a few years after that Montana
was fairly free from this menace but
recently crimes against banks have
again become quite numerous. Rec
ords of the American Bankers Asso-
ication show that burglary against
banks in the United States has in
creased over forty three per cent in
the past few years The Montana
Bankers Association has sufficient
information to be convinced that II
something is not done to stop them
this state will again be infested with
bandits this summer and fall.
After giving this matter carful con
sideration the executive council of thu
association has decided that a reward
for dead bandits was the ideal mean
of checking their constantly increas
ing activities. While this may seem t
be a rather drastic measure to thos
not acquainted with the facts, tn
association is convinced that condi
lions are such that any action to cur
constantly increasing lawlessness, pal
ticularly against banks, is justified
D Accordingly, members of the associs
ton were circularized and an almO;
unanimous vote of consent and pledg
0 has been received authorizing r.

ward of Two Thousand Dollars for
anv bank robber or robbers, BURGLAR
or burglars killed in this state while |
in the act of robbing or burglarizing
a bank which is member of the Mon
tana Bankers Association, or while in
the act of escaping after having CON-
mitted such crime and evadlng or
resisting arrest.
There is but one way to stop day
light robbery once it gets started, and
that is by shooting the robber and
shoot to kill The association wants
robbers to know that it has planned
for their reception as carefully, and
we hope and believe as effectively, as
they have planned their attack. Pla-
cards are now being sent to each
member of the association for display
reciting the fact that the association
will pay reward for all bank bandits
killed under conditions stated. The
association is determined to make
banditry unhealthy in Montana.
The object of this action on the
part of the association is not to in
cite murder or hire any one killed;
it is not intended to encourage muir
der; it is just plain defense of life OF
bank employees and bank patrons who
may be unfortunate enough to be II
a bank during holdup and it is plaiI
defense of bank property and com
; munity property for which the banl
is custodian.
1t must be thoroughly understood
that any person or persons claiming
this reward must submit satisfactor
> proof to the executive council of tn
] association that the party killed wa
: actually bandit in the act of Robin
: or burglarizing a member bank {
n while in the act of getting away frol

i their killing by unprincipled or u

It the collection of the reward. On t
70 contrary, in such cases the associate
. will not only refuse to pay the I
ward but will aid in the prosecute
