re. ROLL CALL
LOCAL QUOTA LIKELY TO BE
EXCEEDED; GOOD REPORTS
FROM OUTSIDE

e. E. Krebsbach, chairman oil
the Red Cross roll call campaign
has not completed his canvass but
reports fair ucc and hopes to
! get total subscriptions in excess
OF the city's quota.
While any amount is acceptable,
contributions fall into 81, IS, $40
and S25 classes according to the
Red Cross plan.
The biggest boost yet received
for the fund came from Supt. Liv-
ingston who collected S125 among
the teachers of the schools.
A message was received from
state headquarters at Helena say
ing that Phillips county was the
first to raise Its quota. largely
exceeding the amount allotted to
it. Malta, the county seat. alone
subscribed a sum greater than
the county's quota.
Anyone who has not been solic-
tied, and who wishes to get on the
roll call list, may leave their con-
tribution at the Westland Oil com
pany office. for Mr.. Krebsbach.

Congressman Scott Leavitt
spent last Saturday here and was
the guest of members of the Com
mercial and Lions clubs at lunch
con.
A radio in the dining room
brought the broadcast description
OF the final game of the world ser
les. Afterward there was discus
sion on the proposed Missouri riv-
er irrigation project along the
north side of the river in this coun-
ty. The multiple benefits that
ccrue TO both whites and Indians
from the enterprise had been
brought the Mr.. Leavitt's atten-
ton by Secretary Gordon of the
Commercial club.
The congressman agreed that If
such a project was proven feas-
able from AN engineering stand
point it would be of first import
ance to the agriculture of the dis
trict. and should find favor with
the reclamation department. He
assured those present that he
would do all in his power to get
consideration of it by the govern
ment.
Later in the afternoon Mr.. Lea
witt attended an Indian council at
Chicken Hill. Matters of Indian
welfare were considered and mum
erous speeches made. The princi-
pal demand OF the Indians is a per

seventh game of the world ser

pennant for the next year. II is
five years since any National

the deciding game was made to

| well remember my first meet
ing with Sir Thomas Upton. l
was then a student at Glasgow
University, Scotland, and the date
sometime in 1873.
One evening l noticed a boy
walking through a crowded street
IN Glasgow carrying an oblong
fsox aIoft on a pole. The box was
three feet long by a loot IN wlotn
with transparent paper sides ana
lighted inside in some way, prop-

bore colored pictures of fat pigs
and hams. Irishmen with pipes IN
their mouths and the legend LIP

tovs trailed in the rear OF the pox
carrier.
At that time the art of adver-
Using was in its infancy. This was
a decided novelty and proved d.
success from the advertising point
of view. Later on, | noticed Gher
professions in the streets headed
by Lipton's box-carriers. Always
there were the colored pigs. hams
and Irishnen with pipes running
after the pfgs. The picture designs

the front wheels, tongue and doub-

new cream station and the r
door will never look the same.
Not liking the footing on the ce-
ment sidewalk they turned to the
street again at the alley. This
turn gave them a fine chance to
hook their bothersome burden on
to a stout fire hydrant so they
straddled it. Being a permanent
city fixture the hydrant refused
to leave it's station and the front
gear stayed with it. The jolt tore
the team entirely apart. The dun,
relieved of everything but its har-
ness, said he was done. He would
concede the race and let his black

Sinclair Lewis should have beer
IN Main Street this morning. He
could have gathered up a lot OF
local color. A wild runaway ami
NAL, often referred to as a horse.
charged along the thoroughfare,
lodging in and out among the
parked and moving motor cars.
Its harness and the doubletrees
were dragging. Realizing that it
was good copy, it turned south at
Second avenue and galloped past
the Herald office. Evidently the
a~ccelerator had stuck and the
brakes wouldn't work.
A reporter rushed out and yell

but a flock of unlicensed dogs
undertook the job Of running the
brute down.

wagon wheels, there was little diff

was behind a counter, wearing d
long white apron. There were half

shop. / made q small purchase

me with his quick, courteous man

clean. While in his shop. Mr.. Lip

with the words Shake hands with
one of the wild McGregors". The
McGregors were formerly regard
ed as the most lawless clan In the
Scottish Highlands and claimed
descent from Alpin. King of Scots,
who fourished about 1877 A. D.
This representative of the clan
wore kilts and carried a stout
knobby stick. ! wonder where that

PAUL PURKETT HURT
IN TRAIN ACCIDENT

Paul Purkett, Great Northern
conductor, was painfully injured
in an accident at Oswego Tuesday
afternoon 1t about 1870. He was
in the caboose of a freight train
that was going at a pretty good
rate of speed. The engineer sud
denly saw that he was about to
run into an open switch and stop
ped the train quickly, causing the
cabOose to buckle. Purkett was
thrown against the side of the car
and was badly bruised. At first it
was reported that both legs we're
broken, but The Herald has been
unable to learn just the extent of
his injuries.
A call was sent to Wolf Point
for the ambulance, and Mr.. Purkett
was taken by L. M. Clayton and
Mrs. Geo. Barwise to the Glas-
Cow hospital where he is receiv-
ing care. Brakeman Schuman was
considerably cut by broken glass,
but was not as badly injured as
Mr.. Purkett.
THE Purketts were residents of
Wolf Point for a number of years
before being transferred to Glas-
gov. Mrs. Purkett received word
that her husband was being taken
to Wolf Point and she and one of
the boys drove here, taking the
low road. 1t happened that the
ambulance took the high road, so
it was 0 until they reached Wolf
Point that they learned Mr.. Pur-
kett was taken to Glasgow.
