Wardens Tell Hunters
To Fill Out Attached
Tags On Killed Game

Deputy game wardens and others
representing the Montana fish and
game department at checking sta
lions throughout the state have re-
ported to the department head
quarters in Helena that many
hunters are not tagging their kills
according to regulations. In many
cases the tags, though attached to
the animals, are not filled out as
required.
1t is required that after a game
animal has been killed the tag be
detached from the big game license
and attached to the carcass where
it cannot be easily torn off and
lost. The tag should be completely
filled out, giving the name of the
license holder, his address, the date
the animal was killed, where it was
and other required informa-
ton.
Failure to comply with the re-
quirements constitutes a misde-
meanor, punishable by fine or i'm
prisonment or both.

LYONS FAVORS
ENERGETIC K|WAN|ANS

The need for a continuing worth
while project in building a strong
service club was stressed by l.. r
Lyons, Billings Kiwanian, when he
addressed the Laurel Kiwanis club
last Wednesday. A second element
in his recipe for strength was quail
ity of membership. He pointed out
that a small, hard working CLUB
would accomplish a great deal
more than a larger club lacking
the energetic drive that often
characterizes small groups.
Illustrating what he meant by
a continuing worthwhile project,
cited a Canadian Kiwanis
clubs program of caring for chill
dren from broken homes. By an
annual sale of apples, far in ex-
cess of the amount that could be
reasonably expected when consid-
the potential market, the club
members raised funds to establish
and maintain a home for such chill
dren.
Inspired by the example of their
brothers, members of the
Billings Kiwanis club have elected
to undertake the support of a pro-
gram to care for crippled children,
and are also raising funds through
the sale of apples. Lyons effec-
tiveness as a salesman for the pro-
gram was demonstrated when in a
round of rapfd-fire banter he sold
25 boxes of apples to A. G. Peter
son, also of Billings.

Grandson Of Sage Who Built Laurel Refinery
Is international Champion Model Plane Filler

Fred Sage III of Independence
Mo-, model airplane builder anC
now international champion of con.
trolled flight, is the grandson OF
the man who supervised construc-
ton of the oil refinery here that
is now owned by Farmers Union
Central Exchange, Inc. Young
Fred's picture appeared in the Sat
urday Evening Post of Nov. a as
one of the illustrations in a
lengthy article about the building
and operation of model planes.
This year as formerly the trials
were held in Detroit, sponsored by
Plymouth Motor corporation. The
affair is described as the most
elite of model plane meets. Said a
paragraph in the Post article:
Zone Of the most remarkable
contestants to participate in any
meet turned up at the last inter
national in the person of Fred
Sage, III, a seven-year-old flier
from independence, Missouri, who
won not only the high-point rec
ord for his age class but was high
point man for the entire meet, with
fifty-eight points, which was nine
teen more than any other contes-
tant has ever scored at an inter
national meet. For this he won a
cup larger than he was, smaller
cups for three firsts, a second, a
third and a fourth in seven events
he entered, and he took home $3.50
in Savings Bonds"
The young champions grand
father Fred was here about three
years, beginning in 1929. He was
superintendent for Smith Con-
struction company, who had the
contract for building the refinery.

Army Engineer Civilian Employee With Good
Idea Saves Government S4,349,O00 In Year

More than half the savings of
$~7,135,452 in the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1850, which resulted from
the suggestion program for civilian
employees of the department of
the army, was effected through a
single suggestion by an employee
of the corps of engineers, it was
disclosed by the Civilian Awards
board. The suggestion, presented
by Richard T. Hoffman of Verona,
N. j., a civilian engineer in the
office of the New York district en-
gineer, accounted for estimated
savings of $4,349,000 during the
year. He received a cash award of
$2,294.
Hoffman devised and ECON
mended the installation of a gas
ejector system of pumps of hy-
draulic dredges which are used by
the army engineers in deepening
and maintaining navigation chan
rels in rivers and coastal ports of
the nation.
Designed to eliminate plugging
and loss of efficiency when hop

per and pipeline dredges are OPP
Grating in localities where en-
trained gases are present, Hoff-
mans system on initial trial
showed a so per cent reduction in
pumping time and a 5 per cent
increase in cubic yards dredged.
The trials justified equipping Is
dredges operated by the army
corps of engineers with the gas
e%jector system and the combined
savings accruing to the govern
ment for one year after installation
torallei $780, 900. The efficiency
of the new system also permits use
of army dredges under circum-
stances in which their employment
was previously considered uneco-
nomical. The system is being
adopted by private dredging con-
tractors and inquiries on it's use
are being received from abroad.
Hoffman, a veteran of World
wal II in the Pacific, is the son of
the late Brig. Gen. G. M. Hoffman,
corps of engineers officer. The
army's seagoing hopper dredge, the
Hoffman, was named for him.

DETROIT SUCCESS
STORY TOLD ROTARY

1t was Johnson day at the meet.
ing of the Rotary club this week
First it was Stuart Johnson's
birthday, an occasion his fellow
Rotarians saiuted appropriately;
next, because the program speaker
was unable to keep the speaking
appointment, Johnson supplied the
program by giving a transcription
of a radio feature that had been
produced the past summer in De-
troit, dramatizing the life of John
sons brother, Thorston. The tran
scription was one of the weekly
"This Is My Life. broadcasts of
station WV in which biographies
of successful Detroit businessmen
n presented.
The story began with an episode
in Thorston's life in 1910 when
he was delivering milk; his nag
won a horse race in an unconven-
tional manner.
The boys father, a blacksmith
working for the Northwestern rail
road, was unable to continue send
ing the boy to school, so the lat
ter went to work in the railroads
boiler shop in Escanaba, the fam
home. He studied evenings and
at length became proficient in lay
ing out steel fabrications, thus
graduating from welding a sledge.
To broaden his experience he went
in 1914 to Iowa where he continued
his work a year and a half. After
that he knocked about a bit, set
Ting finally in Detroit, Mich, be-
cause greater opportunities seemed
to be offered there than else
where he had been.
He ard a newly made friend
started a business of their own, the
American Boiler Works, which had
the ups and downs usually en-
countered by a new venture op-
Grated by recent arrivals in the
business world. By dint of hard
work and good sense they grad
lally expanded the business from
its small beginning until it was
successful in both size
and earnings. Founded in 1918, it
mas subsequently moved twice to
anger quarters. The concern, of
which Thorston Johnson became
sole owner in 1923, does business
With the entire automotlve indus

When the transcription ended,
Stuart Johnson supplied additional
Information. His brother, with re-
associates also willing to
invest risk money bought the
lecadent Yale Rubber company in

'ubber venture has since turned
ut we'll. Thorston owns controlling
interest. His two concerns have
