secretary of state. The district com
prises Big Horn, Carbon, Saltwater
Treasure and Yellowstone counties
Two judges are to be elected OF
a non-partisan judicial ballot, anC
without party designation.
Prior to his election in 1886
Judge Derry had practiced law con
tinuously in Billings for twenty
years, and was we'll known through
out the state as a trial lawyer. He
had appeared as counsel in many
celebrated cases in Montana and
neighboring states. Recognized leg
al rating agencies had given him
the highest possible rating for both
character and ability, during the
time he was engaged in the practice
of law. Prior to his election he
had never held public office.
During his service on the bench,
Judge Derry has been called in to
try cases in every district of the
state, and has frequently served as
a member of the supreme court,
upon disqualification of one of the
justices.
In commenting upon his candi-
dacy, Judge Derry expressed appre-
citation of the generous support that
had been given him in every county
of the district, and stated that 1t
was his desire to continue to con-
duct the office in a that
would provide for prompt DISPOSE
ton of all matters that came before
him, to the end that litigants may
have their rights determined with
out undue delay. He also stated
that he believed that he had been
instrumental in ~effecting substan-
tial savings for taxpayers in the
elimination of needless trials and
prompt dispatch of business.
Judge Derry is married, and has
three children. His family is rep
resented in the armed services by
son, who is a member Of the
amphibian engineers in New
Guinea, and by a so~n-in-law who is
in the navy. His Youngest daugh-
,er is a student at the State Uni :
.ersity at Missoula. He is a mem
GER of the Eagles, Elks and Ma
lodges.

Big MONEY

THE ordinary copper penny has lost a lot of its
purchasing power these days - and even some of it's
copper. But it still buys as much electricity as ever.
For example, right now in your home a penny
will toast about twenty slices of bread - or brew ten
cups of coffee - or clean five big rugs or run your
refrigerator for several hours.
Rather startling what a penny will do when you
think of it that way, isn't it?
Actually, the price of electricity came down so
steadily before the war and it has stayed down so
successfully since that today the average family
gets about twice as much electricity for the same
money it paid fifteen years ago.
All this didn't just happen, of course. It's due
largely to the hard work, efficiency and experience
of your friends and n~eighbors who man and manage
this company. That's why a penny, spent for cleo
tricity, buys so much.
CAUTION: Even though electricity is cheap
even though it isn't rationed-PLEAsE DON'T WASTE
1T. Coal oil, n1anpoWer, transportation 60 into the
making of electricity and these are critical war
resources.
