ARMISTICE DAY ADDRESS GIVEN BY SEfCGOSMAN Rotariaijs Hear Very Inspiring Talk at Regular Meet Monday Night — 1 - The meeting of the Dillon Ro tary club Monday night was fea tured by an inspirational address on Armistice day with Senator George M. Gosman, past depart ment commander of the Ameri can Legion of Montana. Senator Gosman, in speaking of the 31st observance of the ending of World War I. which falls on Friday, told of the national pro gram of the Legion in urging an adequate national defense and' the control of subversive elements who would seek to overthrow the United States government ¡by force or lead to a socialized gov- » eminent. He stated that the first armis tice was merely an interlude be tween two wars and that oceans are no longer a barrier against modern weapons. The United State, he declared, would be the first nation attacked in the event of another war. He observed that on this coming Armistice day, Americans should1 rededicate themselves to the principles of good government, Americanism and Christianity. George Mithun was chairman of the meeting. Guests were J. E. Selway of Grant, Elmer Hobson of Pocatello, Idaho. M. E. Sleigh- ton of Billings and John T. Orr of Dillon.

It was just too much' Dennis in the windup of Coach 'Ityvand’s Beaver squad’s football season last Friday night when they took Whitehall into camp on the home field to the tune of 12-0. The plucky, hard-hitting red head was in every play for con sistent ground gaining and count ed for most of the yardage the team gathered. Thompson and1 Murray, who have been mainstays both on of fense and defense throughout the season, sparkled in the final game, while Kenison, likewise the seasoris star center, used his brain as well as his brawn to assist in the victory Whitehall got the kickoff and made it deep into Beaver terri tory but Sam Davis received the punt and brought the ball back into the safety zone where it al ternated with neither team threat ening. A series of line drives in the second period, led by the Dennis sparkplug, gave the Beavers the edge and on a plunge through center from the two-yard' stripe, Dennis went over, but the con version kick went wide. The third quarter was marked by a tough yardage battle with several penalties imposed on both sides was featured by Dennis’ 30- yard run through right tackle. It was the best quarter of the game with both teams on their toes for both ground and aerial work. Sam Davis, on a quarterback sneak, hit pay dirt in the final canto for the second Beaver counter, but the try for the extra point again missed. Dr. J. Thompson Baker of the First Presbyterian church has an nounced his resignation from the local pulpit to take effect Nov. 20, closing exactly four years in the pastorate here.

The property has been greatly improved during his pastorate. Entirely new furniture has been installed including an electric or gan, and the manse and church re painted and decorated. T h e grounds have been improved, largely through the personal ef forts of Dr. Baker. From Dillon Dr. Baker goes to Wamego, Kansas, where he has received a call. The city is lo cated in the northeastern part of the state near Topeka. He is no stranger there as he spent more than 20 years in educational work and pastorates ip that area. He states that it is a larger field, more remunerative, yet not re quiring the hazards of such long and scattered1 work. Wamego is known as “the cleanest town in Kansas” and lives up to its name. Every street is paved and there is a $60,000 church with no indebt edness and $10,000 on hand to ¡build a new manse. His work there ¡begins Dec. 4. His many friends of all denom inations in this community regret his leaving but rejoice with him iry the promotional move. No successor has been announced. New Proprietors Take Over Oasis Gov.

Loses Prize Steer So Will Post Land Emerson Hughes, Horse Prairie ranchman, reports that one of his prize Angus steers was recently killed on the Esterwald ranch which he operates in connection with his home place, apparently by an over ambitious big game hunter. A bullet hole in the ani mal’s front quarters determined the cause of death although bears had eaten away much of the car cass. Because of the incident the owner and his foreman, Jack Brehl, have found it necessary to padlock the gates on the property for further ¡hunting in the area. This is but one incident this year which has embittered local ranchmen on open hunting on their property and brands the careless hunter as one who self ishly violates the ethics of good sportsmanship. < ' Lefler Winner of Big Fish Contest Floyd Winn of Winn’s, Inc., has announced that F.
