RED CROSS ROLL
CALL BEGINS
ARMISTICE DAY
Big Horn CountY's
Quota Is Set At
1000 Members i q

The annual roll call, the men,
bership drive of the American
Red Cross begins in Big Horn
county and nationally on Arm
istice Day.
This year, the county's quota
has been set at 1000, 200 more
than last years membership.
During the World War, Red
Cross membership in Big Horn
county reached the 1000 mark.
While we are not at war, it
was pointed out, the calls on
the Red Cross will be vastly in
creased due to the fact that so
many thousands of young men
have been called to training
camps. The work among the
conscripts will be in addition
to the regular health and dis
aster work which is carried on
here and all over the nation
the year around.
Stanley A. Yergey, Big Horn
county Red Cross chairman, re-
minded citizens that the mem
bership fees are to be used here
in the county and the United
States, and not sent abroad. The
regular domestic activities of
the Red Cross are financed
through the membership fees,
and the appeal for members is
made but once a year.
For war relief funds, special
calls, similar to the one this
summer, are made, and the
funds obtained from such calls
are used solely for the war re-
lief work.
This year, the Red Cross
chairman pointed out. one men,
bership should not be consid-
cred sufficient for family.
Both adult man and woman
should be member of the
American Red Cross.
Mrs. Altha Montgomery, presi-
dent of the Big Horn County
Federation of Women's clubs,
who is Roll Call chairman, has
announced additional names of
helpers for the drive as fol-
lows:
Crow Agency - Ladies Coun-
Gil of the Baptist Community

ten Grass creek, Mrs. Frank

HEARINGS ON
WATER RIGHTS
TO Be HELD
Meetings Will Sturt In
Hurdin November IS.
FIT Courthouse

Meetings to obtain all avail
able information pertaining to
each individual water right in
the county will be held in the
courthouse at Hardin Novem-
Der Is, 16, 10 and 10. Meetings
are being held all over the
state under the direction of the
State Engineer, the Montana
Agricultural Experiment station
in cooperation with the Works
Progress Administration.
Hearings will be held at St.
Xavier November 20 and 81 and
at Wyola on November % and
%.
The main purpose of the
meetings is to verify water fill
ings, appropriations and de-
crees. At present. this infor-
nation is not available in as
Sembled form in any one place,
but is scattered through every
county in the state. There are
also valid rights established by
beneficial use over many years,
of which no record has been
made, it was stated by those in
charge of the meetings.
1.-THE last few years of water
shortages have taught us to
realize the Importance of our
water rights. When the time
comes to perfect these rights
through the courts it will be
necessary to have witnesses
who originally appropriated the
water and dug the bitches.
These older settlers who can
give such information are rap
idly passing and we should get
their testimony on paper before
it is too late. This may save
the irrigators much time, trou-
BILE and many dollars when the
time comes to adjudicate these
rights. Furthermore, it is the
best insurance that the final
decree will award each user his
proper date of priority" offic-
ials stated.
OF greatest Importance to a
water right is the name of the
original appropriation or locator,
the date when the appropriation
was made, the date of first use,
information showing the bene-
ficial use of the water such as
purpose of use, a description of
the place of use and the am
cunt used. Other information of
great value is the name of the
present owner and use and the
description of bitches and di-
version structures.
All water users who divert wa
ter FROM streams of Big Horn
county are invited to attend the
hearings on one of the desig-
mated days to verify the infor-
nation taken from the records
in the county clerks office.
It is important that this be
done as soon as possible, because
where information is lacking in
some county offices it is some
times possible to supply such in
formation through the testi-
mony of old-time settlers. In
formation given by old timers is
of inestimable value in support
ing records that have been filed,
1t was said.

This Week

Hardin's football team went
down to defeat before a strong
fast Forsyth team here last Fri
day afternoon by score of 27
to 0. Long end runs with off
tackle SmaSheS and occasional

Bulldog defense.
Forsyth scored early in the
game and again in the first
quarter. Just as the second
quarter started with the ball
on the three yard line the Wis
itorS made their third touch
down. Forsyth was held to one
more touchdown during the re-
mainder of the game.
Hardin'S team got going sew
eral times during the game but
begged down before they could
score.
The last game of the season
between Hardin and Klein that
was to have been played here
Friday, November has been
cancelled by agreement of both
teams. Klien will play the Lau-
rel Engineers for the district

County Gives Edge To Democrats, But
Elects Several Republican Officers
Commissioner, State
Senator and Attorney
All G. O. P.'s

Big Horn county electors, and
those of the state of Montana
also, apparently scratched their
ballots right and left in the gen.
eral election held last Tuesday.
Though, in this county, only
one Republican candidate for a
state or national office, Miss
Elizabeth Ireland, was given an
edge, five of the seven officers
elected by local voters are af-
filiated with the Republicans.
Largest majority IN the cleo
ton here went to Burton K.
Wheeler, United States senator,
who polled 2679 votes to his
opponents GIT.
Elected with no opposition
were R. P. Ross, Democratic
candidate for clerk of the dis
trict court, and Robert A. Vic
kers and Charles A. Corkins,
Republican candidates for JUS
tice of the peace.
Single other Bourbon to win
a majority vote was John E.
Rice, candidate for state rep
resentative, and present incum-
bent.
Bert w. Kronmiller and B. H.
McCarty were reelected county
attorney and county commits
sioner,, respectively, on the Re
publican ticket, and Dan w.
Maddox, of the same political
faith, was chosen state senator.
The county favored Referen-
dunn No. 43, but turned thumbs
down on Referendum No. AZ
and Initiative No. A.
Interesting is the fact that
Senator Burton K. Wheeler
seemed most universally popular
of all candidates here. Not only
was his majority the largest, but
he carried every precinct in the
county.
Further details concerning
how Big Horn county voted can
be found in the unofficial tabu-
lation of votes to be found on
another page of this issue.
In some instances, reports
were not available from some
precincts on the referendums
and initiative and on the judic-
ial ballot.
The state of Montana itself
presented one of the StrangeSt
paradoxes in the nation, elect
ing a Republican governor and
lieutenant governor, as well as
one Republican U. S. represen-
tative, but retaining Demo-
cratic senator and on Demo-
cratic representative.
Elizabeth Ireland, Republican
for state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, was also leading
Thursday morning.
Democrats who appeared to
have won state offices included
Secretary of State Sam Mitchell,
Reelected; John Bonner of Hell
ena, attorney general; Thomas
Carey of Helena, state treasurer
State Auditor John J. Holmes,
reelected; Railroad Commits
sioner Paul Smith, reelected,
and A. T. Porter, supreme court
clerk, reelected.
Chief Justice Howard A. john
son of the state supreme court
was reelected without opposi-
ton. Justice C. F. Morris had a
slight edge for reelection over
Enor K. Matson of Lewistown.
Justice Ralph l.. Aronld of Mis-
soula was trailing in the con-
test with Albert Anderson OF
Billings to fill a vacancy caused
by the death of Justice Sam "
Stewart.
The two referendums looked
as though they might carry
Thursday morning, but about
1000 more votes were cast
against Initiative No. A than
were cast for it.
District Judges Ben HARDWOOD
+ and Guy c. Derry of the thir-
, tenth judicial district were also
certain of reelection.
