Montana Senator'S Report Conditions
c. c. Johnston is Appointed
Red Cross Roll Call Chairman

committeeman in each community,
who reports such application to the
central. committee; and, upon allow
ance, particularly as to shoes, under
wear and stockings, it is believed
that such needs will be supplied in
the same manner as food stuffs.
An effort is 40 being made by the
national organization to provide sup
plies in bulk of such goods as potat-
oes and other vegetables, and, prob
ably, flour. These plans have not yet
been fully worked out, because the
load was thrown on the A. +. c. with
out warning. Heretofore, the people
of Montana have always "rolled their
own; but, all of a sudden, in nine of
the western states, the situation be-
came very acute. But we are assured
by national headquarters that the Red
Cross his never yet quit in any emer-
gency; and it has never failed to meet
the emergency.
The orpnization, however, gets its

the churches do; it passes the con-
tribution basket; and, where its do
nations at first were large, now, in
the universal depression, such contri-
buttons are necessarily small. This
points to the necessity that every good
citizen should back this great charity
by taking out his Red Cross member
ship. The quota for Sheridan county
is only S1,400. And there must be, III
Sheridan county, at least 1,400 gooo
men and women who will express their
appreciation of the tremendous tasl
imposed upon the American Red Gross
and the fine way it has carried its
load, paying their dollar.

Watford City Bank
To Open October Is

WATFORD CITY, Sept. rs
Reopening of the First State
bank of Watford City is practic-
ally assured according to W. B.
Chappell, cashier of the institu-
ton.
Stock holders and depositors have
come to an agreement whereby the
bank will be turned over to the de-
positors and as soon as sufficient mon
ey can be collected to build up the le-
gal reserve the bank will be opened,
Mr.. Chapel said. Several borrowers
of the bank have indicated their will
ingness to pay their obligations volun-
tarily so that the bank is assured suf-
ficient money to be able to reopen
within the next three weeks.
The reopening of the bank will
mean a lot for the business interests
of Watford City which have been put
to considerable inconvenience since
the closing of both local banks about
six weeks ago.
Officials and depositors of the bank
conferred with State Examiner Gil
Der Semingson in Bismarck the latter
part of last week and an agreement
was reached which facilitates the re.
organization of the bank.

The Congregational church is

south and west sides; the east
side being left as it has been this
year, inasmuch as the local con-
%gregation intends to build on the
main part of the church struc-

building, as o as funds are
available.
Concrete steps have also been plac-

Hippo and some donation work by
church members.
The metal lath for the stucco was
put on by donation work, and the ac-
tual work of stuccoing the building is
being done by Hans Riggs. 1t will add
greatly to the appearance of the build
ing as well as a splendid protection
against weather ravages. 1t will re-
duce the fuel cost considerably and
during the summer months will make

HAS GOOD CORN
ACREAGE THIS YEAR

Sen. Lars Angvick has been
very busy the past week in gath
ering seed corn in the field. So
far he has gathered more than
fifty bushels of selected North
western Dent and Faulkner corn.
He expects to increase this guam
tity greatly when the balance of
the corn is husked.
Sen. Angvick specialized in this
branch of agriculture at an eastern
Agricultural college. For several
years he has painstakingly selected
the very choicest and earliest corn for
his fields near Reserve, and he says
this careful selection is now showing
excellent results in that his corn is
maturing earlier than the usual run
of these corn varieties.

fine RAINS VISIT
COUNTY LAST WEEK
Nearly 2 Inches of Moisture
Comes in Two Rains Fields
Soaked Deep

The drought appears to be bro
ken at last. On Saturday Septem-
Der 10 a total of LII inches of
rain fell here at Plentywood. 1t
amounted to a virtual cloud burst
and fell too fast to be of as
much benefit as the rain which
came last Thursday when rs inch
es more precipitation came in
the form of a slow warm rain.
This soaked down into the ground
where it fell and reports now
vary that the fields are soaked
down from Is to 40 inches.
A few more rains this fall will pu
our soil in excellent condition TO
1882, but it is claimed that tn
ground is dry down for more thai
ten feet and it will require a lot o
moisture to penetrate to this depth, s
as to join with the old sub-moisture.

Father PratSChner
Transferred Here

Father Pratschner arrived in
Plentywood on Saturday to be-
come the priest of st. Joseph's
church and the other Catholic
churches in the P~lentywoOd field.
FIR. Pratschner impresses us as a
distinct addition to the citizens of
this community, and we extend
to him a cordial welcome.
To show the esteem in which he
was held at Chinook where he has
been priest for the past ten years, we
copy the following item from the
Chinook Opinion:
1t was with deep regret that the
members Of the congregation of st.
Gabrriel's church received notice that
Rev. Henry Pratschner had been
tgancferred from this field to Plenty
wood. That regret was also shared by
the many friends the priest hid made
in the community outside of his own
congregation.
Word was received last week from
the office of the Great Falls diocese
IF the change and Father Pratschner
leaves Friday of this week to take up
his new duties. He has served the
people here for owe ten years. Dur
ing that time he has held services also
in Harlem, on the Rig Flat and in the
Bear Paw Mountains regularly. He
has rad the affection and respect of
his congregation and in his quiet
friendly attitude of the non-Catholics
friendships among the people Of other
faiths.
No word has yet been received as to
his successor in the local parish.
Tuesday night about seventy men,
bers Of the congregation gathered at
the parish house to give Re-. Pratt
schner a surprise farewell party. H.
J.. McCabe on behalf of those present
presented him with a purse from his
congregation and others that were
present and expressed their sorrow
at his coming departure. Fathnr Pratt
schner responded with a very appre-
ciative expression of the kindly treat
men. he had received during his long
stay here and the deep regrets with
which he Is LAYING. He thanked them
all for their kindness to him and ex-
pressed his special appreciation of the
friendly attitude &C the non-Catholic
of the community.
