After discussing the incongruity
OF thousands OF men refusing to
make the thing they want most
and rapidly using up the savings
they would have used to buy these
new cars. then asked him How
much of a raise do YOU think the
men will finally get when the strike

1925 where he was for several years
associated with the Big West Re-
filming Co., in various capacities.
He is credited by oil men with
having brought about development
of the long-idle west side area of
the Kevin-Sunburst field, following
his organization of the Rim Rock
Producing Co., which he had since
managed. This successful company
focused attention on the latent pos
sibilities of high-gravity oil pro-
duction in this part of the field, and
led to widespread operations by
other concerns, with the result that
this is now one of the most active
portions of the field. Many of his
wells were drilled on the high rim
rock west of Kelvin.
He also organized and at the time
of his death was manager of the
High Gravity Oil Producing Co,
which likewise has numerous pro-
ducing wells in the area west of
Kelvin. Until few weeks ago,
when he disposed of his interests,
he was a partner with James Lar
sen in the Larsen Drilling Co., con-
tracing firm.
His Montana interests were wide
spread, including holdings in the
Cat Greek field area, in the Sweet
grass hills area, in the Kicking
Horse gas field east of tho Kelvin
Sunburst field and ranch near
Whitefish.
He was active in Masonic circles
and was member of Shelby lodge,
A. F. & A. NJ, the Tyrene chapter
of the Royal Arch Masons at Cut
Bank, the Golden West Command
cry in Shelby and the Algeria
Shrine.

meeting and the discussion was
led by Mr.. Robert Mather. The sub
ject discussed was THE difference
between the Farm Bureau and the
co-operatives.' Questions regard
ing the purposes and activities of
each were answered. The discus
sion that followed showed that the
Farm Bureau membership repre-
Sented the farmers in legislative
halls, both state and national; al
so showed that it enabled farmers
to be no an equal footing whit
other pressure groups.
In the absence of Mrs. Matt
Pacha, Mrs. Ruth Roberts and Mrs.

recreation. Several members of

Prayer For Peace

Even though we still cannot buy all of
the things we would like to purchase, we
do have an abundance of most of the real
necessities of life and therefore have much
to be thankful for at this great Thanks
giving season of the year.
New cars, new radios, refrigerators and
countless other items are important to all
of us, but like other material things they
are not the most essential elements in life
that contribute to happiness. Of course
they help great deal and bring to us
feeling of joy and satisfaction, and today
I we can be thankful that our nation is well
on the road towards achieving record
peacetime production just as it did in max
ing tools of war during World War two.
Good health, good neighbors and good
friends are priceless possessions and on
this day of Thanksgiving let's take an in
ventory of our richness in this respect and
let's resolve to make our lives fuller and
happier by showing appropriations to them
and by service to others.
Progress is being made by the United
Nations organization towards the estab-
ishment of lasting peace in the world,
but this progress is being handicapped by
selfish desires on the part of several ma
tons. In this atomic age, another world
war would destroy civilization and on this
Thanksgiving day let's pray earnestly for
just, lasting and enduring peace.

What can you do to save life? Your
cooperation in the Christmas Seal Sale
drive now underway to help in the fight
against tuberculosis may mean just this.
Figures show that the IS per cent re-
duction in the tuberculosis death rate since
the National tuberculosis Association was
organized in 1904 and inaugurated its ma
tionwide campaign against the disease
represents saving of 100000 lives.
In other words, if deaths from tubercu
losis had continued at the 1904 rate, 4,0OO,-
600 more people would have died of this
disease in the intervening years than &C
tually did Yet tuberculosis still takes the
lives of nearly $1,000 Americans year.
The generally downward trend in the
death rate for the past Is years was brok-
en- by slight increases in 1926 and 1886. 1t
is too soon to predict what the 1916 rate
will be- Reports for the first three months
of the year show an increase of nearly
four points over the same period in 1915,
possibly due to a wave of respiratory dis
eases at that time.
tuberculosis associations hope the death
rate for the latter part of 1916 will be suf-
ficiently low to offset the rise early in the
year. Their work is directed at effecting
that decline. Your support of the Christ
mas Seal Sale will aid in this.
