Red Cross Campaign
Under Way; Hope
To Raise $1,000

A. 0. Lee, chairman of The
Blackfeet Red Cross Committee
for Browning and the western
area of Glacier county, announces
that the special committee head
ed by Charles Knodell and John
Weathered, is getting the cam
paign for funds well under way,
and reports excellent support and
interest by all those SO far con-
tacted.
The quota for this area has
been set at $500, but the commit
tee is trying to raise as much as
$1,000, for by getting the larger
amount a greater percentage OF
the total will remain in the COM
munity for local work.
If the large quota is raised, at
least so per cent of the amount
will be retained in the local or
ganization, whereas a lesser per
centage of the total can be kept
at home if only the minimum is
collected.
The committee is also urging
those who are not contacted by
the committee to mail in their
contributions. Due to the widely
scattered population in the west
area of the county, il will be
impossible for the committee to
contact everyone personally, Lee
pointed out, and for this reason
it is urged that those not contact
ed use the mails and get their
contributions in as early as pos
sible
The local chairmen are spend
ing much time and energy in get
ting the campaign under way and
making il an outstanding sue
cess. They should have the
whole-hearted support Of the
community. and a special effort
should be made to raise the large
quota.
This can be easily done, the
committee points out, if everyone
will do his part and those who
cannot be contacted promptly

Blackfeet Chapter CT the Amerl'

crat, of Cut Bank.
The appointment was made by
the Board of County Commits,
sioners at its regular session held

election in 1856.

signal honor conferred on one of
Glacier county's outstanding
pioneers.

before the turn of the century
and came TO what is now Glacier
county about the time the Great
Northern constructed its line
through this part of the state

BlackfOOt, where he worked as a
bookkeeper and accountant, and

ing pool hall and cigar and to,
baccO business, and later moved
to Poison where he remained for
~ years, operating a pool hall
and cigar and tobacco business
He was also engaged in business
In Sand Point, Idaho, Grass
Range, Montana, and other places
in the northwest during his long
residence. A few years ago he re.
turned TO Browning, and now
makes his home at the Hagerty
hotel, where his daughter, Mrs
wilkinson, and her husband, Op-
crate the cafe, and his nephew
Wright Hagerty, owns and oper,
ates the hotel and lounge.
During his residence in Glacier
county, Hagerty served in both
the house Of representatives and
the state senate
During all his years of resi-
dence in Montana, Senator Hag-
erty was always active in state
and county politics, being an ar
dent democrat in his affiliations.
The publisher of this newspaper
attended his first democratic state
convention i'll 1903, which was
held in Anaconda. and Hagerty
was there In the years that fol,
