NEW SPEED WASHER
DISPLAYED HERE

Only few years ago it was neces--
sary for women to spend many hours
each week in washing clothes. Thor
speed washers reduced this time by
half. Now comes startling new de-
velopment the Thor Wringerless
Washer, which clips off Is to 20 min
utes more from the time required to,
wash. Not only does this new wash
err eliminate all of the labor OF putting
clothes through wringer but it also
eliminates the necessity of lifting heavy
steaming clothes from the washing tub
into separate spinning tub. While one
batch of clothes is drying in the ex-
tractor, the next batch is washing
and all in the same tub at the same
time.
This remarkable new wringerless
washer is now on display at the show
rooms Of the local power company
where it has already attracted much
favorable attention from local women.

LIBBY MUST BATTLE
FOR EUREKA VICTORY

Tuesday, October 81, the Libby high
school football team plays Eureka in
its annual home coming game
This game must not be regarded as
a set up Although Whitefish beat then,
81 to and Kalispell beat them S. to
g. Eureka recently held the powerful
Plains crew to a IS to defeat
There is one man, Smith, in the Eu-
reka team who would be valuable
asset to any team. In the Kalispell
game Smith stopped at least one half
of the plays pulled by Kalispell.
If Libby takes Plains and Eureka
they have the northern division title
and they will go south to play for the
district championship.
When Libby plays Plains a new type
of offense will be shown by the home
team, instead of having the quarter
back calling signals man in the line
gives signals from huddle This sys-
tenn works very much better than the
old.
The admission for both games will be
Is cents for children and SO cents for
adults.
The officials for the game are: Plains
game-Referee. Fry GU of Idaho; UNI
pire, White of Troy Eureka game;
referee, White (Troy).

KILLER SOUGHT
IN TWO STATES

CHICAGO, July II. W.H-Fred
Burke, notorious killer and elusive
bank bandit, after casually elud-
ing posses in the woods of northern
Michigan, was being hunted in two
states again today by squads of po-
lice machine gunners.
Chicago police reported to head
quarters here they narrowly missed
capturing the "supcr-slayer" at a
summer cottage near Hess Lake,
northeast of Muskegon, Mich. They
took in custody the owner of the
cottage and IA woman, and seized
an automobile believed to b e
Burke's.
A description of Burke was
broadcast throughout Michigan and
police here were warned to be on
the lookout ON the theory that he
might return to the scene of what
officers believed was his latest
crimc-thc killing of small-time
Chicago rackcteer.
The latest hunt for Burke began,
police said, with the killing here
last week of Thomas Bonner, who
was called to the door of his home
and shot through the eyes within
the hearing of his wife and little
son.
Mrs. Bonner subsequently idcnti-
fled her husbands killer, through
photographs of Burke.

Chicago Tribune
Accuses Papers

CHICAGO, July H. Wp) In Il
lead editorial today, the Chicago
Tribune accused Other Chicago pub
fishers of obstructimg the crime in
vestigation resulting from the muir
der of Alfred J. Linglc, Tribune
reporter.
Pointing out that the publishers
met after the Linglc murder and
pledged their cooperation has now
disappeared. The hostility is due,
according to the editorial, to the
publication of a series of articles
by Harry Il, Brnndidgc, of the ST.
Louis Star, charging that reporters
on other Chicago papers are in
league with the underworld the same
as Linglc is said to have been.
The Tribune editorial brings into
the open the divergence of opinion
among the Chicago papers which has
marked developments in the Linglc
case for the last two weeks.
