LOTS OF SHOES ARE
HASTHEM?

The demand for shoes to be dis
tributed to needy families contin-
ues to be greater than the supply.
Mrs. Poulson gives out dozens of
pairs each week, but still there
aren't enough. Shoes for school
children particularly T needed.
People who have shoes that will
not be needed by their W child
re, but which are still serviceable
are urged to bring or send them
to the Goodwill room.
Stockings, warm underwear and
other garments are needed also.
Don't hold them for later on. The
need is right now.
Several of the members of the
Women's club are making a cam
paign of the town soliciting shoes
and clothing, but there may be
people whom they do not see. The
invitation is general to contribute
all that can be spared. The more
there is donated, the more extern
sive will be the chance for SER
vice.

OPENING DATE FOR
MALTA POOL 18th
VOLUNTEER LABOR, DONATED
GRAVEL, SPEED PLUNGE
COMPLETION

MALTA, Sept. 15.-Preparations
for a official opening of the Amer
lean Legion swimming pool at the
hot water we'll between Malto and
Saco are being made by Malta and
Saco posts, assisted by Glasgow
and Hinsdale Legionnaires. The
date has been set for Sept. 81.
State Commander A. F. Lamey
of Havre was invited to speak but
will not be able to attend. Water
sports, music and possibly a base
ball game will be on the program.
More than 100 men, coming from
between Glasgow and Dodson,
worked at the pool Sunday, when
volunteers were called for cement
work. Sides of the 80 by 40 foot
pool were completed and a special
tub made, designed for persons
seeking cures from the highly
mineralized water. The tub has
been placed near the well so that
the temperature approaches the
temperature of the water in the
we'll.
Completion of the plunge will
bring to an end several years of
efforts. Hot water vas struck at
about 5000 feet when the Bow
dom Oil company was drilling for
oil. The well was abandoned and
the water allowed to u off. Gas
had been struck at the 600-foot
level and the water was heavily
impregnated. Several years ago
the Saco Legion post got a lease
from the government OF the land
and constructed a wooden plunge
near the well. For years gas es-
Gaping from the surface of the
water had been burning and it
was known as the burning well.
This spring, under the natural
resources law, the gas was shut
off and authorities intimated that
unless the -Legionnaires construct
ed a swimming pool soon the wa
ter would also be shut off. An
attempt to raise enough money
to build a 100 by S0-foot plunge
made last year but work was
put off until this spring.
Donations of concrete, gravel,
money and other materials has
aided the Legion and most of the
labor has been volunteered. Be
tween 100 and 200 men worked
at the well Labor day and the
American Legion auxiliary served
Lunch was served Sunday
by Nal Smith, local post com
mander.
1t is the ultimate aim of the Lee
gion in the four towns TO con-
struct cottages, plant trees and
make the well a pleasure and
health resort. The well is near
Nelson reservoir, where fishing
and boating attracts crowds on
holidays.
Analysis OF the water in the hot
we'll shows it to contain
many valuable and health giving
minerals and many persons claim
not baths have relieved them Of
lis.

CALF. LUMBER
COMING ON GIN.
FIFTY CARLOADS STARTING
ON NEW EXTENSION
HERE SAT.

Fifty carloads of lumber, orig
mating on the Great Northern's
new extension in California will
be through Wolf Point Saturday
on the way to st. Paul and points
east. c. P. Swedberg, agent for the
G. N. said that the train would
likely arrive sometime between
ten o'clock and noon.
The shipment originated at Nc
Cloud at the foot of Mt. Shasta.
OF the shipment the Dunsmuir
Calf. News says:
Sometime next week the first
trainload of pay freight will leave
California over the Great Northern
extension from klamath Falls
south to Bieber. The train will be
made up at McCloud and will con-
sist of fifty cars of pine lumber,
containing about 100000 board
feet and worth approximately
$4,000. The lumber is consigned
to points from st. Paul, Minneso-
ia, east, some of it going as far
as New England.
Travelling first over the Nc
Cloud River railroad it will reach
a connecting extension built by
the Great Northern from Lookout
Juction to klamath Falls and east
ward"
Last week the Great Northern
rails, being laid south from Klam-
ath Falls, reached Bieber where
the road will join the Western
Pacific tracks. The Western Pacif-
ic rails from the south are expect
ed to reach Bieber within a few
weeks. Thus will come into reality
dream of James J.. Hill-cher-
ished for more than half a century
"a Hill road to the Golden Gate.
1t was in his mind when he push
ed his railroad through the wilder
of Montana, it was in his
mind when he built down through
Oregon and to the day of his death
the Empire Builder held to this
dream.

4-H Club Notes
kLEVER HOOKS

We have been holding our last
report until we received our o
from the county agent. 1t arrived
today, and is 92.5.
Our achievement program was
held in the basement of the Pres
byterian church, and we wish to
thank the church for the use of it.
Our program consisted of a
toast to the parents, original
songs, yells, pledges, etc. Decora-
tions in the club colors of green
and white were arranged to form
booths, and each girl was respon-
sible for a certain phase of the
work such as hot breads, candies,
recipe books, health and good
manners, the display of articles
in the kitchen utensil contest;
hangers in the tidy bedroom con-
test, and dishwashing equipment.
A table held the books on break
fast requirements, tn record
books, girls stories, and the guest
book. Another held the pictures
and newspaper clippings of tours
and meetings, and another a samp-
lie breakfast service. On the walls
were charts on health, hygiene,
foods, etc, and our banners. Fol
lowing the formal part of the pro-
gramme, the visitors passed among
the displays, and questioned the
members on them.
The Mothers breakfast was
held at our leaders, home. Two
tables, each seating eight had car
nations and sweet peas for decor
atoms, and set with a breakfast
service. Members were in their
white and green uniforms, and
mattresses wore white and green
aprons. Each mother took a carna-
ton as she left the table.
Our picnic was held at the
bridge, Mr.. Lowell kindly taking
us there in his big truck, and Mel
bourne Coffey CALAMITY rescued us
from the mosquitoes and gave us
a swift ride home. Many thanks
to these gentlemen.
oh, what's more fun than a pic
mic dinner with the food all on the
ground. The bugs in the butter,
and the ants in the cream, and
the skeeters' buzzing around?
New officers have been elected
that we may not lose our identity
during the winter. They are as fol
lows:
President, Anna Lou Durham,
Vice president, Kathryn Norby,

gathered at the home OF Joe Ham
ilton last Friday evening as he
was soon to leave for Santee, Neb.,

Then Joe gave a very good idea
of his work at Santee. Besides his
regular work he is learning the
printing business. Then the young
people played games and the old
er people talked, about financial

Scobey.
CULBERTSON, Sept. 15.-Unit-
ed States Senators Thomas J.
Walsh and B. K. Wheeler were
asked here Monday by delegations
from Culbertson, Sidney. Froid,
and other points in northeastern
Montana, to make an effort to in
duce the federal government to
build a bridge across the Missouri
river at Culbertson as a means
of aiding the unemployment sit
uation in this section. It was stat
ed that such a project would sup
ply work for many Of the farmers
Of Roosevelt and Richland coun-
ties who have suffered loss of
crops from drouth.
At noon Senators Walsh and
Wheeler met with a delegation
from the Sidney Chamber Of Com
merce who came here to confer
with them regarding drouth relief,
and at 1.30 a joint meeting Of the
Sidney delegation and members of
the Culbertson Chamber of Com
merce was held.
At this meeting Charles e. Col
lett of Sidney acted as chairman,
and addresses were made by R. S.
Mutt OF Sidney, Senator Schnitz-
Ter of Froid, William Staple of
Culbertson and others. to give the
senators a clear picture of the
drouth situation.
The opinion was expressed by
most of those present that the
construction Of a federal bridge a.
cross the Missouri here would
greatly aid in giving work to the
farmers, both on the bridge and in
building the roads necessary for
approaches.
The senators said they would
do everything in their power to
relieve the situation upon their
arrival at Washington. Trey left
here by auto Monday afternoon for

Although the Red Cross has been
