A fine dinner, barbecue, rodeo ant

500 RAILROAD NOW
HAS new SCHEDULE

A new train schedule was in
augeratcd on the 500 line last
week, and according to some 9TH
er newspapers on the Whitehall
branch, the people along this
line have the distinction Of hav-
ing the only scrambled train SER
vice in the world.
There is neither a mixed train nor
a passenger service, but a combina-
ton Of both. The eastern terminal for
these trains is now F1axton instead of
Kenmare as heretofore.
For the benefit of our readers who
might make a trip, we are publishing
the new schedule. Try and remember
it if you can, but better save this new
schedule and paste it IN your hat.
First bear in mind this schedule is
on Central time, one hour earlier than
mountain time:
Train No. So. a mixed train, leaves
Whitehall every Monday, Wednesday
and Friday at 8 a. M, arrives at Ray
mond t 9:26 a. m. and reaches Flax
ION at 2:20 p. m.
Train No. 40, passenger. leaves
Whitehall every Tuesday, Thursday
Saturday at 1925 a. M, arrives at
Raymond at 500 a. m. and at Flaxton
at 1914 p. m.
Train No. 81, a mixed train. leaves
Faxton every Monday, Wednesday
and Friday at 7:30 a. M, arrives at
Raymond t 1:25 p. m. nd at White
tail at 2:45 p. m.
Train No. 141 passenger, leaves
Flaxton every Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday at 4:46 p. M. arrives at
Raymond at $50 and at Whitehall at
9:55 D.. m.
If you are a %westbound passenger
and miss your tran IN a Tuesday or
Thursday, you will have to wait a day
and a half before the next one comes
along, but if you miss it on Monday
Wednesday or Friday, you will not
have to wait more than halt
a day for the next one.

state local officials, have decided
to each contribute one days sal

was signed up by and the first
months contribution made by
each and everyone OF Saturday,
and the amount raised was $140.
This fund will be handled through
the local Red Cross and will aid con
siderably towards filling our quota
Of $140O which is to be raised next
week.
1t is planned to combine the work
Of the Associated Charities Of the
with the Red Cross; allowing
the Red Cross officials to supervise
the distribution. This includes all
clothing that has been gathered. The
decision to join hands with the Red
Cross in this matter is not fully de-
ciced as yet, but in view of the atti-
tude of that organization to extend
aid to needy town residents is what
prompted the Associated Charities to
practically decide on this step.

Dance OCTOBER r

On Saturday, October II, a hos
pital benefit dance will be held
at the Farmer-Labor Temple in
Pl~entywood, for the purpose Of
raising funds to enable the local
hospital to continue with its nec-
essary amount of help.
-. Receipts at the hospital have not
been as large as usual owing to the
crop condition in this territory, but a
staff of nurses must be maintained
in order to take care of the sick who
come there. In addition to this the
hospital board had a large amount of
money on deposit in the local bank
when it's doors were closed. This mon
ey cannot be realized upon, and it be-
comes imperative to raise funds by
some a Rather than put on a
charity drive. the hospital board will
give a public dance and obtain funds
through ticket sales to this affair.
The music will be the best obtain
able. Goodman's Aces Of Rhythm are
masters of terpeschorian musical en-
tertainments, and all who come to
partake of this dance will reap two
fold benefits from so doing, as you
have spent a very enjoyable dance
evening as we'll as contributed your
mite for the benefit of the hospital
and in so doing extend aid to those
who must obtain disqualification.

Mite WATCHMAN IS
APPOINTED FOR CITY

At the meeting of the city Oun
Gil on Monday night, William
SINNERS was employed as night
police and Waterman for an in
definite period. He will go on du-
ty at midnight.
This is a protective measure to
guard against fires as well as night
providers. At this time of the year
many people start up their furnaces
and fire danger is more pronounced
than any other period of the year.
Night providers are not numerous
here, but without adequate protection,
this situation might have altered
speedily.
The city council are to congratulate

paper advertising showed a
drop of only . per cent, or
less than half rs much as pro-

. LOANS READY

Indications of a tremendous
volume of capital available for
loans to business organizations,
industry and farmers through the
member banks Of the Federal Re-
serve System, we're disclosed in
the Federal Reserve Boards
monthly bulletin today.
The Reserve report showed
that the active member banks
are in a very liquid condition. OF

900, 900 about $5,343. 100000 are
in Government securities, and ST..
535, ,OO0,O 900 in State, county and

These classes of investment are
maintained at face value on the
