POTVIN 153 Third S'reet S., Great Falls. OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN IN NURSING AVIATION HEAD TALKS AIRPLANE JOHN D. RYAN OF' BUTTE DIS- CUSSES PROGRESS OF AIR- CRAFT PROGRAM Says the Handley-Palge Machine Is 4 ' Driving the Hun Behind His Own Lines; Extolls the Liberty Motor as the Best Aeronautical Engine Made. When John D. Ryan visited his home town, Butte, recently, and talk- ed airplanes, Montanans who heard him were probably surprised to learn that such wonderful progress had been made in putting our aircraft program on a sound foundation. Es- pecially were they gratified to know that the Liberty motor was a suc- cess. In speaking of the Handley -Paige bombing machine Mr. Ryan said: \This airplane is one of the most powerful ever built. It is a type 0/ plane that is driving the Hun behind his own lines, the kind that is keep- ing him there, and I am glad to tell yeti that thousands just like this one are under construction, all to be driven by the Liberty motor, the best and the most powerful aeronautical engine ever built. \We are now furnishing Liberty engines to our own airplane manu- facturers, and England, France and Italy have called on us to furnish Liberty motors for installation in their own planes. The production of the airplane in quantity is easy, but that of the airplane engine is another matter. The number of airplanes in the last analysis is the number of engines to drive them. \There has been great dissatisfac- tion expressed by the people of the country at the results attained in the production of aircraft. Some of it has been warranted—most of it has been caused by expectations beyond the possibility of performance. \I can speak with knowledge on this subject because I have for two months studied every cause of delay and disappointment and I can speak freely, because no stretch of my con- science will let me claim any credit for what has been done up to the present day. Enormous Output \In the 16 months we have been at war there has been designed and put into production the Liberty engine, which is acknowledged by all of the allies as a great performance and a distinct contribution to the cause. As a powerful machine to drive heavy aircraft, it is undoubtedly as satis- factory as any engine produced by any nation on either side of the war. There were produced here in our workshops in May and June just passed, as many of these engines as Great Britain produced of all types of aero engines in the year of 1916. In- cluding other types of aircraft en- gines, there were more produced in our shops in June than Great Britain produced in the whole year of 1916. \The people of the country have been carried away with the talk of tens of thousands of fighting bomb- ing airplanes and have been impa- tient when they heard of the few we have produced so far. There never have been 10,000 airplanes on either side of this war at any time, and un- til within a month, if even now, there have not been 10,000 on all shies and all fronts of the war added together.\ WILL GIVE PASTURE FOR 60,000 HEAD OF CATTLE Forest Reserves Open Opportunity to That Number of Sheep and 3,500 Cattle The federal government is desirous of enrolling 25,000,women, between the ages of 19 and 35 in the United States student nurse reserve. Appli- cants who are accepted will be sent to one of the 1,000 training schools for nurses that are being organized. The course lasts from two to three years, depending upon the adaptabil- ity of the student. All living expen- ses, including clothing and a small remuneration, are furnished students during the period of training. On graduation the student will be quali- fied to serve as a trained nurse, the compensation of which IS high. Women desirous of taking advan tage of this opportunity of serving a patriotic purpose and equipping themselves in a useful vocation may make application to Mrs. Henry L. Sherlock of Helena', Mrs. Harry Mit- chell of Great Falls, or the nurse re - Serve chairman in each county, whose address may be had by applying to local lied Cross officials. Where Women Work More than 300,000 women are at present working on the land in Great Britain, compared with 91,000 last year. Promptly coming to the relief of the stockmen of the state, the United States forest reserve has announced that applications will be granted for grazing on certain forests as rapidly as they can be passed upon by the Missoula office and that applications by wire will be accepted. The per- mits will be issued on the same basis as all permits for Bitch privileges are granted, the charges per head of stock grazed being the same. The foregoing information was re- ceived in Great Falls by W. K. Flow- erree, vice president of the Ameri- can Bank & Trust company and one of the large stockme4 of this section of the state. Mr. Flowerree says he feels certain the stockmen of the state will appreciate the action of the forestry officials and that the opportunity to use the -tinge will not be overlooked.. The 'applications for permits should be addressed to the district supervisor of the forestry service at Missoula. The announcement is made that the forests near Missoula have room for 36,000 additional sheep and 3,600 additional heild of cattle, while the Kootenai and the Blackfoot for- ests jointly will carry an additional 25,000 -head of sheep. In other words there now is room for 60,000 addi- tional sheep and 3,600 head of cat- tle for the remaind-r of the season and this will afford a substantial re- lief to the stockmen, in the opinion of Mr. Flowerree. While that num- ber of animals woule constitute only a small fraction of the sheep anti cattle of the state, it nevertheless will afford an opportunity for hand- ling to advantage the range situation at a time when such advantage will mean a lot in bringing the animals being pastured to a condition that will make them marketable in the fall. Stockmen who contemplate asking for a chance on the range should re- member that all applications for this privilege must be made to the dis- trict supervisor at Missoula and they may be sent by wire, SEMI-ANNUAL STATEMENT ocky Mountain Fire Insurance Co. \A STRONG WESTERN COMPANY FOR WESTERN PEOPLE\ Great Falls, Mont., ASSETS June 30th, 1918 Home Office Property 179,122.06 Mortgage Loans 249,455.46 Liberty Bonds 24,550.00 War Savings Stamps 834.00 County General Fund Warrants 356.15 Cash in Montana Banks (on interest). 139,592.50 Cash in Montana Banks (not on interest)_. 22,372.02 Agents' Balances 15,535,56 Balances Due from Other Companies 45,952.40 Duo from Re -Insurance Companies on Account of Losses 4,009.28 Unexpired Insurance 1,810.01 ACCRUED INCOME Accrued Interest on Mortgages, Bonds and Bank Deposits' $ 10,635.83 Hail Brokerage ___ 7,028.02 Total Net Assets _$ 701,253.2 0 LIABILITIES Capital Stock Paid -up _____________ $ 279,567.56 Due Re -Insurance Companies ________ . 8,066.37 Sundry Liabilities _ . 201.60 RESERVES Unearned Premium Reserve 162,532.60 Reserve For Losses in Process of Adjustment _____$ 27,172.04 Reserve For Accrued Expenses 2,250.00 Reserve For Contingent Commission._ 4,754.61 Reserve For Taxes 6,500.00 NET SURPLUS OVER ALL LIABILITIES 210,208.51 Sam Stephenson, President.

TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR FLATHEAD HOMESTEADER Homesteaders in Flathead and Lincoln counties will probably get an extension of time in which to make final proof, of their claims, according to a letter received by Senator Myers from Secretary of the Interior Lane. Mr. Lane has directed a field exam- ination to be made of the situation, upon conclusion of which, such re- lief as may ' e found to he possible will be granted to the entrymen. Secretary Lane said, \I believe this wilt prebabl,y dispose of the situation Ii amanner entirely satisfactory to YOU.\ This means that the four years' work of Senator Myers is at an end. He has introduced bills in the last two congresses to allow these people to clear this land to the amount of $60 a year instead of the present fed- eral homestead requirement of cul- tivating 20 acres a year. These coun- ties are rough and covered with scrub timber and are much more difficult to break and clear than prairie land. Senator Myers' bill, which has passed the senate and is pending be- fore the house committee on public lands will probably page when con- gress resumes regular session with the opposition of the secretary of the interior removed. More than 2,000 homesteaders in Flathead and Lincoln counties alone will be affected by this measure. Senator Park Smith Resigns Senator Park Smith of Lewis and Clark county, now r lieutenant of company D, 20th infantry, Camp Funston, and about ready to cross the ocean to France, has sent in his resignation as a member of the legis- lative body of the state, to Governor Stewart. The resignation Is filed in time so that candidates \ may file for the race at the primary, There will be a number, of course.
