Sgt. Scl,ooley
Appears in
National Adv.

Advertisements are interesting,
whether or not one is in the market
for the advertised product, as many
will agree, who read the Plymouth
ad in Golfers magazine Of July 8.
Staff Sergeant Kenneth Schooley,
who has often written this paper
letters of interest to the communi-
ty, is mentioned in the ad., part OF
which follows.
"They came smashing through the
Jap lines and there it was-a l941
Plymouth Deluxe Sedan in the
heart Of the New Guinea Jungle
ION its side was painted the en-
emy's rising sun insignia. American
bullets had drilled the machine SO
full of holes that the entire top
had to be removed. But the motor,
according to Staff Sgt. Kenneth B.
Schooley, who described the Incl
dent, was "in excellent condition,
despite having had few large
calibre bullets bounced off it.
after the usual rough jungle ira
vel, he writes, it's like riding on
air. At last report, the sedan was
no longer Deluxe, but it was doing
a real job on New Guinea. The
medical detachment requisitioned it,
took out the back seat, put in a
floor, and was using the Plymouth
to transport wounded troops from
the front"

Lincoln county has again scored a
triumph by going over the top in
the 5th War Loan Drive. The cor
poration sales quota was over a
week ago but the last days of the
drive were busy ones for the work
ers who successfully tried to COM
plete the E Bond quota. These E
Bond sales have been rather slow
all over the nation but buying in
Lincoln county was steady with a
good rally at the end. At the bond
booth in the Jaqueth & Charnholm
show room on Saturday, July 5, the
women reported sales that day Of
$5,531.25.
Mrs. c. w. Gildea, drive chair
man, expressed great pleasure at the
SPLENDID cooperation Of workers and
buyers. It was a great satisfaction
that practically all of the pledges
have been redeemed and the very
few that have not may still come in
before the end of the month.
r. w. Smithberger, of the First
State Bank, in commenting on the
Drive stated, "This is the hardest
drive we've had but the people CO.
operated we'll and the women did an
excellent job, taking a great person
al interest in it and are to be highly
commended
At the post office F. L. DeRosia
said, "The sales were slow at the
beginning, but were good toward
the end of the Drive. Total sales
were $4,81875."
Mrs Jessie Fagerberg, chairman
Of the County War Bond commit
tee, also expressed appreciation of
everyone's efforts, namely the Lib
by Woman's Club, Troy Woman's
Club, American Legion at Eureka,
w. L. Fewkes of Rexford, Mr.. and
Mrs. Jerry Fritch of Ural, d. A.
Gilchrist and Mrs. Woodward from
Warland, and other individual work
ers.
The window at the Miller Cloth
ing Store, in which have been dis
played items sent home by service
men, has been of great interest. In
addition to the articles mentioned
last week there we're a handsome
luncheon set and handkerchief OF
lovely linen which were displayed
by Mrs. c. w. Gildea, having been
sent to her by her nephew, MS
James Rubard before the PHILIPPINE
attack, following which he was TAX
en- prisoner by the Japs and at
present Is in Japan.
The J. c. Penney Co. had bond
booth the last part of the Drive and
the sales there amounted to about
$4,000. During the first week Of the
drive the company also featured q
window of Our Heroes" in which
pictures of service men and women
were displayed. Mr.. Barkee, local
manager, wishes to thank those who
loaned the pictures and who showed

Gov. Ford Is
III leased With
State 5 Record

Governor Sam C. Ford Is much
pleased over the record made by
Montana in the various salvage
drives. Speaking this week on that
matter, he said
II have just received the most
recent report from the State Sal
wage Committee of collection Of var
ious salvage items throughout the
State OF Montana for the past five
months of 1914.
1T was to be expected that Mon
tana would do an outstanding job in
the salvage program, as she has
been and is doing in all other pro-
grams in connection with the war
effort, The State Salvage commit
tee, chairmaned by VIM. E. Rae of
.Havre, with the Women's Director,
Mrs. Neva Magraw of Helena; Chair
man of the Waste Paper Division,
James ]. Flaherty of Great Falls;
Chairman of the Industrial Salvage
Committee, Joseph L. Markham OF
Butte. and 56 county chairmen and
women directors and the thousands
OF volunteer workers are entitled
to the highest praise and recogni-
ton for their untiring efforts in be-
half Of this war program.
For state comprised mainly
Of rural areas, having three cOun-
ties without railroad facilities, and
having only few scattered scrap
dealers, the results of the salvage
collection program since its incep-
ton have been phenomenal.
AT the present time Montana
leads the Nation in the collection
and shipment of industrial iron and
steel scrap. The splendid work Of
Montana housewives has resulted
in Montana leading the Nation in
the collection of kitchen fats on a
percentage Of quota basis. We are
far above our quota on farm scrap
and are among the few leading
states in the collection Of waste
paper and rags on per capita basis.
Such a record truly indicates the
patriotic efforts of Montana people.
Il wish to express for the Montana
Salvage Committee and myself our
deepest appreciation to every man,
woman and child who has made this
record possible and to ask that the
splendid work be intensified until
final victory"

Salvage Drive
Still in Progress

For years we've kidded ourselves
about the unlimited wealth of our
national resources. Now we've
learned that to a considerable ex-
tent we've been talking bunk Some
of our resources are really low;
others depended upon open trade
with other nations; others still ex-
list, but we lack che manpower to
turn them into fighting stuff. You
don't have to be told that it's paper,
rags, metals and fats that are need
ed. Nor do you have to be told the
connection between old newspapers
saved and a shell reaching front
line in a cardboard container; be-
tween a bit of fat turned in and
a shell exploding on an enemy po-
sition. Salvage does those things;
and you must do the salvaging.

LIGHTNING PLAYS CAPERS

Libby people were startled Tues
day afternoon by sharp clap Of
thunder that came without any
previous warning. A few black
clouds were floating in the sky but
there had been no other promise OF
a storm. To many no flash of ac-
companying lightning was seen, and
there was no further thunder. How
ever, it turns out that the startling
crash was caused by bolt of light
ming striking a tree in the August
Sleizer yard in South Libby The
lightning ripped down the tree and
then jumped several feet to the
metal shut-off for the water supply
thereby being grounded. In its ira
wells 1t tore up the earth and scat
tered 1t around distance OF sew
eral yards.
