LESTER RICE
BURIED HERE
Had Recently Com
pleted Training and
Received Commission

Funeral services were held at
the Baptist church here Tues
day afternoon for Lester C.
Rice, 20, whose body was found
Thursday evening near his
ranch home at St. Xavier. He is
a son of Mrs. Leonard O'Brien.
Rice was a second lieutenant
in the army Quartermaster
corps, and had been missing for
a little more than three weeks.
He entered the army last jan
uary and received his commits
sion July 80 at Camp Lee, Va. He
spent a short furlough at his
home and then on Aug. IL
boarded a train for FIT. Crooks,
Omaha, Nebr.. where he was to
be stationed, according to Sher-
if Henry Ulrich, who investiga-
ted the case.
When young Rice failed to
arrive at FIT. Crook, local auth
critics and his family were noti-
fled. 1t was discovered that Gais
trunk had been carried on to
Omaha.
Last Tuesday members of the
family were informed that he
had been seen in the bus de-
pot at Billings and his mother
left at once for Billings to try
to locate him. Sheriff Ulridn
said Rice had apparently come
from Billings to St. Xavier on
Tuesday and had entered the
house and taken the gun while
members of the family were
away.
The body was found by a
brother Thursday evening in a
clump of bushes about a quarter
of a mile from the home. A
search had been started We'd
nesday, when the gun was miss
ed.
1t. William Christian of the
Quartermaster corps and Sgt.
Victor o. Soisdahl of Montana
State university at Bozeman,
investigated the case for the
army.
Military services were conduc-
ted for 1t. Rice by Hardin Post
No. 8 of the American Legion
and interment was in the Gus
ter Battlefield National ceme-
tary. The Rev. c. A. Bentley
conducted the last rites at the
cemetary and the Rev. J. D..
Smith officiated at the services
in Hardin.
Besides his mother and STEP
father, Leonard O'Brien, he is
survived by three sisters, Erlise,
Dona and Kitty, and one BROTH
err, John; the maternal grand
parents, MI. and Mrs. j. A. Les
Sard of Hardin, and the pater-
nal grandmother, Mrs. J. C. Rice
of Golden, Colo. His father pre-
coded him in death in 1888.

Boys, plan to take your vaca-
ton. During the negotiations the
company expressed the wish that
everyone would take the week
off. 1t is their opinion that if we
completely forgot the shop for a
week, we would return refreshed
in mind and body. You will get
more good out of care-free
week, than out of the extra pay
check.
Why doesn't the Committee be-
gin negotiations for general
raise of the Layout Tables ?
Carl Osterman is at least Is
inches tall, while the tables are
only about 80 inches. | know that
l am out of order on this item
because the company would glad
ly oblige if the request were
made. Dear Maude: He's tall and
thin, does little talking, but he
leans a mile before his feet start
walking Keep up the good work,
Highpockets.
Fred Jahr is another man
mountain, but he shrinks when he
has to melt babbit borings. The
smoke and the fumes bring half
of the shop boys on his neck
Take it easy fellows, the company
has promised a ventilating device
for the babbiting department and
also for the hot spot in the Foun-
dry over the core baking ovens.
Ponder this one! Should de-
partment leaders take an active
part in union activities? ? For obvi-
Gus reasons, other shops disallow
it even though their Superintend-
ents seldom circulate among the
men. In our small shop the Super
is a combination Expediter, List
ening post, Weeping post, and
Trouble shooter. Naturally he
makes many direct contacts. Look
fellows here is a fence, the
union on one side and the COM
pany on the other. Do ! see any
one On the fence? Divided al
Elegance never won battle but it
is one of the first rungs of the
ladder to success. May l repeat, in
all fairness to the leaders"
should they be forced to take an
active part in our union. Think
it over!

DO YOUR DUTY

Are you prepared to do your
duty? As an American citizen it is
your duty to vote at all elections.
1t is an obligation you should take
an interest in and not regard it as
a task.
Last election $4,000 persons of
voting age lost their voting privi-
lege by not going to the polls and
casting an intelligent ballot. In
order to place themselves on the
voting list they must go to Elec-
ton Headquarters and register so
their names will be placed on the
book in the ward and precinct in
which they reside.
Election headquarters are open
daily $3.50 a. m. to 500 p. M,
Saturday $50 a. m. to 1900 noon.
After June l Monday hours will
be 1900 noon to 900 p. m.
If we expect to keep our demo-
cratic form of government we must
nave labor representatives on the
ballot. Thus we must do all we can
to make the next election sue
cess from the standpoint of labor
representation in our State Legis-
lature.
