Inventor Of
Telegraph

One hundred years ago on May "a,
1874, the first message What God
Hath Wrought" was sent over the
telegraph line, completed only the
day before between Baltimore and
Washington. Samuel Finley Breese
Morse, the inventor, portrait paint
er of international reputation, for
which he would hardly be remember
ed now, was the great-grandson of
the Reverend Samuel Finley, ID. D.,
who founded West Nottingham Aca-
denny in 1744-one hundred years
before the invention of the telegraph.
His father was the Reverend Jedi
diah Morse. He was better known as
Americas first geographer than for
his preaching. He was installed pas
Charlestown, Massachusetts, ON the
same day that Washington was inau-
gurated President of the United
States.
His mother was Elizabeth, daugh-
ter of Judge Breese. She first met
uGf uuiS OAHU III Tie NEW 1Ofk uOu0

ter General of the United States,
who had been a pupil of Dr. Finley's

the daughter of DR.. Finley and his
wife (nee) Sarah Hall, who is bur-
led in the old cemetery, now part
of the farm belonging to William
Reynolds, about n mile west of
the high-school building in Rising
Sun. Her gravestone, with several
others, was moved to West Noting

Cash Your War Bonds Only
in Emergency

The new system under which United States government
war bonds may be cashed at most banks, is solely for
convenience - for those who must meet an emergency or
who need cash through sheer necessity. Actually, the sys-
tenn seeks to encourage bondholders to keep their bonds as
long as possible, with the realization that they can cash
them on short notice.
Your bonds are now just as negotiable as government
checks, but that is no reason why they should be cashed
unless there is an actual, pressing need for money. Cashed
unnecessarily, they are hampering the war effort.
Your government bond represents the most patriotic and
safest way to hold interest earning money for any future
need. 1t is always instantly available after the required 60
days have passed.
REMEMBER For every bond cashed, you or some
other fellow citizen must be sold another.

Holmes, for state auditor. County
candidates were introduced to the
audience of about 120.
Cannon, prominent in Butte labor
circles, declared There's been a sit
down strike in the state capitol.
Nothing has been DONE" He be-
moaned the states large loss of
population since wal began and said
the Democrats would do something
about that.
Holmes charged that the present
governor has many many trips to
Washington to block anything that
is for the good of Montana. How can
he do all these things on state
money? When there is any money
for us in Washington, we should
get It,"
Sketches Background

associate justice, prefaced his ad-
dress with a sketch of his farming
background in eastern Montana.

smear and lie" campaign, especial
ly as regards his endorsement by a
CLIO Political Action Committee.
The PAC membership is made up
of working men and women" he de-
adding that the PAC was
only in endorsing candidates
in the primary election. He said its
work has been supplanted by the
Montana Council for Progressive
Political Action. He denied any plan
for unionization of farm help.
There are a lot of good, honest
Republicans" he continued, But
my opponents chief support is
from the kept press"
His chief attacks on his opponent
