CONFESSED WARRANTS GET
OCCUPATION, OFFICERS
TAKE 1T AWAY

j. w and Paul Fishbach, who
were given the alternative oil
serving go days in Jail or remain
ing out of the county for six
months, chose the latter alterna
tive. Four o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon was the deadline for their
presence in Wolf Point and they
| left. 1t is understood that Friday
night they gave a farewell party
to their friends which lasted until
dawn or after
They got out of the county as
per schedule and went over into
northern McCone county where
Superintendent Eggers and his
force of enforcement officers found
them Monday all set for operating
distillery In fact work had al
ready commenced for there was
about half a barrel of beer about
ready to be taken off and there
was $50 gallons of mash soaking.
Grain, bottles and other parapher-
MALTA were lying around, although
the two men had not yet got the
camp in readiness to receive
visitors. Two big copper stills,
were taken. These are said to
have been two of the watts cap
tured when the Creighton still at
Frazer was raided last January,
and afterward stolen from the
government warehouse at Frazer
where they were stored.
1t is said that the elder Fish
bach picked up hammer and
showed fight when the officials
came to raid the place, but Big
Charlie Thompson soon subdued
him. The two Fishbachs were
brought before U S. Commissioner
0. T. Stennes, where J. w Fish
bach took all the responsibility
for the plant. The charge against
Paul was therefore withdrawn and
he was turned loose. 1t is under
stood that he lost no time in put
ting the Missouri river between
county and himself 1t
is probable that he will not be
found in the same place where
the officers discovered him Mon
day, two miles east of the bridge
site on the McCone side of the /
river.

SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATION
MEETING HERE LAST
FRIDAY AFTERNOON

julius Cess of Volt was elected
president of the Roosevelt County
Farmers Union held here last Fri
day when about two hundred rep
resentatives of the various locals
of the county met to adopt con
stitution, elect officers and trans
act other important business.
L. Ramstad of Pershing community
was named vice president and R
A. Harbo of Froid secretary-treas
urer.

Cabe, and w. A. Feick, Volt.
The name chosen was Roose-
welt County Farmers Union. The
meetings were held in the palm
room of the Sherman hotel.
A constitution was adopted and
it was decided to hold meetings
on the fourth Monday in March,
June, September and December
The next meeting will be at CuI-
bertson.
A. w. Kicker, editor of the
Farmers Union Herald, presided
and addressed the meeting. There
was a program of talks. o. w.
Sucker, organizer, was present
and spoke
T. A. Croll, assistant manager
of the Farmers Union Terminal
association, spoke on marketing
and shipping and outlined the
tank program. He said it will be
possible for farmers to get grain
tanks from the union on time and
that arrangements will be made
for shareholders in the terminal
association to borrow money to
enable members to hold grain on
the farms instead of dumping it
on the market Immediately after
harvest.
Mr.. Croll urged members to
market grain through their own
terminal organization, which has
a seat on the Twin City board of
trade The organization sold more
than 15,000,000 bushels of wheat
last year At this stage of its de-
velopment the organization does
not pay patronage dividends but
grain commissions are turned
back into an organization fund.
One of the speakers urged that
women take more part in the
meetings.
IF it were only possible for the
Montana farmers to control the
marketing of the high protein
wheat raised in the state, it would |
mean much to the prosperity of |
the state" said R. A. Harbo, sec
retary of the county organization. |
An organization meeting for /
Valley county was held at Glas-
Cow Saturday.

EUROPEAN ROADS
BECKON TOURISTS
-,
Touring Conditions Abroad
Are Growing Better, Says
Packard Official.

With roads being constantly improved
and nearly all touring conditions grow
ing better, Europe offers real oppor-
tunity for the American motorist who
takes his car abroad. says G. S. Plat.
European district manager of the Pack
ard Motor Car Co. in letter to- the
Packard factory. Mr.. Plat travels over
practically the whole of Europe calling
on automobile distributors and uses his
car almost exclusively for transporta-
ton.
Motorists who revel in the open
spaces of America are finding equal
marvels in country of much smaller
compass-Europe," Mr. Plat wrote.
Now that steamship lines are making
1t increasingly easy to take your car
across the Atlantic, the undying scenery
of centuries and the historical haunts
of art, literature and the drama are be-
coming we'll frequented shrines for
American motorists. And 3. all are
reached over highways much improved.
True, all the roads are not boule-
wards; but the really ambitious road
programs of the various European coun-
tries already assure the niotor!st of
pretty good going from the English
Channel to Budapest. Even Spain,
hitherto Stunned by the motorist, now
is building, 6,000ss kilometerS, of racing
roadbed to be known as the Circuit Ma
tional.

production Is practically

annual production is practically
assured.
IF the. much talked-of saturatiof
point In the production Of automobiles
should ever be reached, the industry
would still have an enormous replace
ment market, which alone would un-
doubleday keep its factories busy. In
my opinion there will be no saturation
point as long as the automobile re-
mains necessity to the happiness and
prosperity OF the American people. The
automobile is undoubtedly here TO stay
becaue 1t Is the most universally used
and effective method of ground trans.
portation yet devised. AS such it affects
the lives OF all people every day of the
year.
American families are increasing at
the rate of about 100000 per AllEum.
In this enlightened day the members
OF these families are aSSuredly all DO
tential buyers Of automobiles. What's
more, many Of these families will net
be content with one car. but will insist
upon two or more cars for the use Of
the family. So the industry has the
great possibilities offered it in this an
nual increase in families, plus the al
ready created, tremendous replacement
business distributed over approximately
four and one half million automobile
owners, to look forward to during the
next 12 months or more.
The year 1928 closed with more In
dustries and more individual companies
in a strong position than at any time
in recent years. ! expect that In the
first half Of 1929, at least, trade vol
umeS will reach levels higher in the
aggregate than were achieved In the
same period Of 1928"

BELGIUM YET MAINTAINS
HIGHR0AD TO ROMANCE

ARLON, Belgium Ap).-An ancient
Belgian custom which gives aid to Lone
" lovers is still maintained here, in
the province of Luxembourg -
Twice each year Arlon celebrates 1.-THE
Lovers Fair" The first fair is held on
ST. Nicholas day; the second, not long
afterward. on the Thursday following
the New Year.
At st. Nicholas, the yourg farmer
who is looking for wife visits the
fair Blooming girls from remote viii
lagos and hamlets of the Ardennes
highlands who are looking for husbands
also attend the celebration in large
numbers. There are many means of
making them acquainted.
When the young man has discovered
the girl who he believes will fulfill his
dreams, he first gives her candy. If she
takes kindly to this token of affection,
he treats her next with beer and sau-
sages.
At the post New Year fair, the young
pair by custom make final settlement
of the plans suggested at the former
meeting and they become definitely
engaged. It is customary for the we'd

SIMPLIFlED GEARS.
AID WOMAN DRIVERS
Their influence. in Auto Buying at
Peak in 1928, Automotive
Officials Say.

Women's influence in motor car buy
ing has never been so pronounced as
during 1923, in the observation of au-
tomotive officials, who foresee it as be-
coming still greater in 1929 and the
years beyond.
j. w. Frazier, Chrysler sales manager,
ascribes this growing influence to the
fact that cars handle more easily to-
day, which means, he. says, that women
have more confidence in their ability
to drive them. H. =.
Most women" he continues, used to
hesitate before Drawing the risks of
driving in congested streets. Today they
are finding that. the, infrequent neces-
Sity for shifting gears, their simplified
shifting when y necessary, plus the
speedy pickup available in modernly
designed cars, removef much Of the diff
flcu1ty Of traffic driving. Ease of park
ing also adds to their assurance Com
fortably postured seating makes the
cars equally as competent for long tours
by eliminating the fatigue formerly re-
sulting from prolonged drives"
Pointing out that the number of
women who drive will continue to grow
steadily, Mr.. Frazier says that "women's
increased importance as a factor in au-
tomobile sales is in line with the trend
Ava AA0fAAA6 a oCCOIlA CdE Tic RdTdRc
for woman members of the household. /"
He ascribes a considerable share of the
great popularity of the lower priced
automobiles to this Second-car habit.
adding that "roadsters, .coupeS. and two
door sedans in these models are es-
pecially popular with women. In many
cases the second car is primarily
bought for the Wifeis use. Natufally.

lyle transcends~ every other factor

Butt after all, men and women want
the isame thing in a motor car. They
wars bright and sparkling colors, fine
APPEARANCE, attractive interiors, the
snse and zest of outstanding perform
an and car easy to handle and easy
to Htop.
Women are becoming more motor
wise all the time. They know style and
beauty when they see it. The zest of
performance is coming to mean equally
as much to them as to men.

Radiator Glycerine Used in Summer

tinued to function perfectly Severe
tests were made in an effort to throw
the glycerine out through the overflow
pipe, but 1t was found to stay in the
radiator even better than water alone.
Thermometers showed that the temper
allure of the liquid in the radiator did
not vary more than S degrees Fahren-

similar conditions.
Hundreds of other tests have been
made, both on the road and in the
laboratories. Observation of the effect
of radiator glycerine on various mate

tests showed that a thin glass beaker
filled with radiator glycerine could be
subjected to temperatures as low as 80

deviation of the agricultural problem,
has either been planned or is under
way, and doubtless much of it will be
enacted. The enactment of measures
toward the solution of the agricultural
problem will benefit the entire country,
as any legislative measure that actually
helps the farmer to solve his problems
helps business and industry generally
and is usually reflected in increased
business and industrial activity. .
There is nothing particularly alarm
ing about the credit situation to war
rant other than an optimistic outlook;
in fact, there Is every reason to believe
that the credit structure upon which

upon the same safe and sound Ameri-
can principles as have characterized its
operation in the past.
1.-THE political situation has, to all
intentS and purposes, been settled
definitely and to the satisfaction of a
majority of the American people. SO
that the uncertainty as to the outlook
for business, apparent during election
years, Is removed, and American bust
ahead and it's future is being planned
upon definite course.
Export possibilities for American
merchants and manufacturers rapidly
are increasing, despite terrific COMPETE

and the heavy tariffs levied by q ma
jority of foreign countries upon prod

cent years the export business on Amer
lean automobiles has grown by leaps
and bounds. despite wellnight insur-
obstacles, and today is upon
a firm basis.
THE automobile industry is perhaps
enjoying today the most favorable posi-
ton known since its inception some 25
years ago. The uses of the automobile
are multiplying with such rapidity that
factories generally are hard pressed to
keep production up to demand. Today
the automobile IS necessity. With
1928 probably breaking all records for
automobile production, the industry is
continually increasing its replacement
market to a point where very large
