• Pf /el oN/c4 L &cote. oP moN7446... TIME WINIFRED THE VOL. 23 WINIFRED, MONTAN'', FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1935. NO. 26 Fire Prevention Week In about a month, Fire Prevention Week will be observed again. Starting on October 6, the week will run through the 12th. The week is usually inaugurated by Paesidential proclama- tion. Governors of states and mayors of cities follow suit. Fire marshals, tire departments, insurance organizations and other pub- lic and private groups cooperate in seeking to spread the ABC's of fire prevention ane contrnl to the general public— which has most at stake, and which must accept the responsibility for almost every fire, large or small, that occurs. During the week every citizen will have a chance to learn, easily, thoughly and \painlessly\, the simple lessons that will en- able him to keep his home and other property safe from fire. He will be told of the menace of old and improperly-done wiring. He will learn the need of perodic inspections of his heating plant -one of the most prolific sources of fire. He will be shown the vital necessity of fire-resistant building, and of fire-resistant building, and of modern municipal building codes. He will hear of the tra- gic school, hospital and other major fires which have destroyed thousands of lives, and property valued at millions, which were absolutely unnecessary. To learn this, the citizen will have to contribute a little of his time. He will have to look at exhibits, read editorials, news reports and pamplets. He will have to listen to a radio address or two. He will have to keep his mind open and his memory awake —a lesson that is not retained is obviously useless. In return for this small expenditure of time, he will receive knowledge that may be the means of saving his property from de- struction and his loved ones from violent and horrible deaths. Is it worth it to you? Strangling Initiative Will Rogers, by his native ability and thrift, left an estate valued at between two and one-half and five million dollars. It has been announced that state and fedei al inheritance taxes will claim some $650,000.00 if the estate totals two and one-half million, or $1,716,000.00 if the estate totals five million. Proposals to \soak the rich\ through new and greater in- heritance taxes, which Mr. Roger's family escaped, would go far toward destroyiug the savings of his lifetime. On the savings and wealth -destroying path we are traveling, there is less and less incentive for American citizens to exercise their initiative and ingenuity as in the past on projects which cre- ate employment and prosperity. If they are successful, their prop- erty will be largely taken away from them through taxation. If they fail, that's just to bad—the tax collector does not share in the loss. He only takes the profits and savings. Additional Locals Wallace B. Raymond and Bus- ter Thompson were office callers Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Miner of the Sufiolk country were in Wini- fred yesterday, Mrs. Nellie Whitmore of Ger- hard was a business caller in Winifred yesterday. Glenna Crow purchased a new Ford V8 coupe the forepart of the week from the D.Y. Garage. Tox Popnoe bought a new Chevrolet sedan from the Clinton Peck Service Station Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Blake Dawson and Mrs. Anna Finnegan of the Rose creek section were town callers yesterday. Eighteen cars of cattle \were loaded here yesterday for the eastern markets, some of the cat- tle coming from the north side of the Missouri river. Mr. and Mrs. Tom McNulty and son Ray of the lower Mis- souri river were Lewistown shop- pers yesterday. On the way home they spent the night with Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ford. The management of the Blue Moon Cafe have installed a new radio so as to be able to furnish radio music while their patrons are dining. Jack Williams, proprietor o f the Midway beer parlor, has a new radio In his establishment for the entertainment of his cus- tomers. George W. Mees and the editor were among the Winifred people that motored to Lewistown Sun- day to see the last screen picture of Will Rogers. The title of the play was \Steamboat Around the Bend.\ The ticket sale was one of largest the Judith ever had. The Supreme Court - Our National Umpire By RAYMOND PITCAIRN 0 National Chairman --Sentinels of the Republic Picture a sand -lot baseball diamond on the outskirts of any American town. . . . The home team is at bat—and go- ing strong! An exciting play occurs. In an effort to stretch a three -bagger into a home run, a player runs wide of the line. \You're out,\ cries the umpire. There is a moment of stunned silence. Then the home -team players break into loud recrimination. \Throw out the umpire,\ they shout. But the spectators — a typical American crowd — boo the disgruntled players down. Out ,4 the clamor arises a clear voice. \The umpire,\ it announces, \is here to see that the game is played according to the rules that have made it a success. If he didn't perform that duty, the game couldn't last. If he interpreted the rules to meet every player's whim, baseball would no longer be the orderly American game that we love. It would degenerate into a disorganized and un-American free-for-all. So let's keep the umpire and play the game according to the rules that have demonstrated their value and utility.\ Broaden that picture a bit, and you get a rough analogy to something that's happening in the American political scene today. Certain lawmakers and their fol- lowers are annoyed because the Su- preme Court has pointed out that some of their impractical measures violate the body of rules under which our government operates—the United States Constitution. They fear that still other measures will suffer the same fate. So they want to weaken the authority of the Court as our offi- cial interpreter of the rules. They are shouting, \Throw out the umpire!\ Will they succeed? That's up to the people. No change so drastic in effect could be consummated without the consent of the voters. Fortu- nately, a nation-wide reaction has shown the popular attitude. The people are determined to re- tain a National Umpire who will hold lawmakers to the rules which made us a great, successful nation offering liberty and opportunity to all. Wily is it that more than twice as many people are buying Tires from Gambles now than last year. The recent drastic price reduction is one of the reasons. 30x5 Truck Tires, $14.95, Lewis- town. Lutheran Ladies' Aid will meet Thursday, Sept. 26th, Granny Asbjornson, hostess. NATURAL FORCES AID BUSINESS RECOVERY By R. S. HECHT Presides: A inericaa Beakers ssociatioo A LTHOUGH, as official studies of business conditions show, business is still far from having struck its full stride, nevertheless. believe that it is undoubtedly true that the natural economical p r c- eases which have al- ways brought the nation out of a slump are now and have been for some time steadily at work laying the foundations for more active and normal business R. S. HECHT conditions. I believe that there is growing a broader public per- ception that the people of this country must make their own prosperity and not wait for the Government at Wash- ington to make it for them. In other words, normal economic vigor and vi- tality of the United States is slowly but inevitably bringing a return of natural business recovery. The Fundamental Cure Like a doctor, the administration can help nature. But the fundamental heal- ing processes will come from natural causes and not from political rime - dies. Despite the slackening of busi- ness now apparent, despite expressions of disappointment we hear from vari- ous quarters, nevertheless I am confi- dent that these fundamental healing processes, if not spectacular, are none the less surely at work, Gradually our business leaders are showing greater confidence in the fu- ture and are assuming a more forward looking position. I firmly believe that if we will make up our minds to replace fear -psychology with confidence -psy- chology the results will fully justify such a new attitude. BANKERS' ASSOCIATION STIMULATES ADVERTI,,ING The American Bankers Association's Advertising Department reports rapid progress of the use by banks of the In- formative bank newspaper advertising prepared by it for members to assist them In rebuilding public confidence and good will in their communities. The central theme of this advertising service deals with the \essential line of economic and social service that all sound banking inherently renders the depositor and the public,\ the report says, showing that \it is not banking laws which make banking useful and safe, but that fundamentally it is hon- esty and skill in management under pri- vate initiative.\ The Advertising Department is sup- plying about a thousand members of the association with newspaper and other advertising material. The news- paper material totals about 60,000 ad- vertisements annually The growth of the work of the department is shown by the following figures: On September 1, 1934, the number of banks being served regularly each month was 623. The total number on April 1. 1935, was 924. an increase of 301 regular sub scribers, or 49 per cent In a period of seven months Potteries Show Chinese Ritual The potteries found in the early tombs of the Chinese represent copies of their earthly belongings as well as objects prescribed by ritual for burial with the dead. Wall Paper Made Here in 1765 The first wall paper manufactured in the United States was made by John linger, who in 176a set up his factory In New York city. Sheaf of Wheat IWO Silver spoons decorated with the sheaf of wheat or basket of flowers de- sign date from about 1830. They were popular in 1850.

N. Y. Had First Hotel Elevator The first hotel to install an elevator was the Fifth Avenue in New York city in 1869. Plebiscite Long in Use in European Arguments In 1802, Bonaparte. when the sea• ate refused to make him consul for life, determined to \consult the peo- ple\ on the subject of his status. It was unprecedented that a simple con- sular decree should order a plebiscite. The fact that it did was rather a coup d'etat The results of the plebiscite were a singular success for Bonaparte, observes a writer In the New York Ti mes. The right to name his successor was openly demanded by Napoleon in the Senatus-Consulte. Only one step mare was needed to make the right hereditary and to enable him to give himself a monarchial or imperial title. This final step was taken In 1804 when the first consul of the republic became emperor of France. The prop- osition was submitted to a plebiscite which was taken by universal suffrage in the same form as Its predecessors. In May, 1804. There were 3,572,329 affirmative and 2,569 negative votes Probably the best known example of the use of the plebiscite in French history was in 1852, when the coup d'etat of 1851 was confirmed and the title of emperor was bestowed upon Napoleon frt. It was his use of the plebiscite that made the teem familiar and connected It with the idea of despotism posing as liberalism. lie has even been described as \a plebis- cite adventurer.\ Cashew Nut Produces an Oil Used in Many Ways The cashew nut grows in a leathery - skinned shell at the end of a swelling of the stem, which looks like a juicy fruit. The apple, as the swollen stem Is called, is delicious, If sometimes a little astringent. It is used by the Bra, zilians to make the soft drink cajinia, and also a strongly -flavored wine. The nut In the cooked condition is tasty. The pericarp or shell of the nut, which is the true fruit, containa a dark reddish oil of great chemical in. terest, which burns the skin of sensi- tive people. This non-drying oil Is used for making wood immune from white - ant attack, and by the natives of the Andaman islands to protect their fish- ing nets from decomposition. A scientist has spent years In tam - leg this unusual liquid, adapting it for use as a coating, and for purposes where few other materials appear to be as suitable. Among Its.,uses is the painting of all types of cement surfaces, especially when these are subject to continual wetting. It is also useful for coat- ing metal, wood, and concrete in in- dustrial plants, when ordinary paints may not withstand the corrosive in- fluences. It appears to be well adapt- ed for use as a ship -bottom paint and has been selected as the Ideal paint for coating wooden laboratory table tops.—Tit-Bits Magazine. Rhinoceros Hide The rhinoceros bide is generally re- garded as tougher than the ele- phant hide. It Is not true, however, as generally supposed, that a bullet will not penetrate this skin except be- tween the deep folds. It is naturally soft and easily penetrated by a bul- iet or hunting knife. When dried it be- comes exceedingly hard and was for- merly used by Indian princes In mak- ing shields for their soldiers. Big game bunters use large caliber rifles e -hen hunting the rhinoceros, though sometimes guns of small caliber are employed. The favorite shots are the heart shot and the neck shot, It does not appear that the one animal is much harder for a big game hunter to kill than the other. Grim Tong War in New York One of the grimmest tong wars fought in New/ York's Chinatown bad its climax in the Chinese theater In fanyers street in 1909. Things had been quiet for weeks and, as It was holiday, the audience was in a gay mood. Near the end of the show, some one threw a bunch of loud firecrack- ers into the aisle. The disturbance was soon quieted and the play re- sumed. Shortly it was over and every one arose to leave except five \On Leongs\ who, unnoticed during the firecracker explosions, had been shot dead. —Collier's Weekly. Fake Antique Volumes An ingtraoua trick of the makers of antique volumes is to print Bibles and other books on old paper. To make such spurious volumes convincingly aged in appearance, the plates from which they are printed usually are made from photostatic copies of the original pages of the literary work being imi- tated. Expert bibliophiles have ways. however, of easily detecting such coun- terfeits—Montreal Herald. Mechanical by. Not New Mechanical toys, which found their .ipotheosis In the toy nightingale of Andersen's fairy :ales, are not new. fhe early Greeks had them. They were favorites of Louis XIV, and broke the monotony for women in the har- ems of Arabia In the Seventeenth and Eighteetith centuries, when all moving toys were extremely complicated, thotte of Nuremberg became world-famous. BUSINESS IMPROVES Chevrolet delivered to retail consumers 99.018 new cars and trucks in August, eclipsing its July sales by 24,979 units and setting an all-time August record it was announced today by W. E. Holler, vice president and gener- al sales manager of the Chevro- let Motor Co..

Falling Objects All objects falling through a com- plete vacuum fall at the same rate of speed regardless of weight or size. But in the atmosphere falling objects meet with air resistance which depends on size and shape of the object fall- ing. If the two brills are of the same material the smaller one would fall slightly the faster because there would be less surface to offer resistance.— Pathfinder Magazine. Varieties of Law The varieties of law under which the people of this country live may be classified as follows: Coninmn law and principles of equity; city ordinances and town, township and county regu- lations; statute laws of the state; state constitution; federal statutes; national constitution, and treaties made by the United States with foreign countries. Effect of Diseases Every disease leaves one less able to resist the next attack. Moat of the diseases of adult life are partly the \sequeiae\ of the diseases of child- hood. Most people who live to lie eighty and ninety have been extraordi- narily tree from disease all their lives. Model of Roman London In the All Hallows church, close to the Tower of London, and open to the public, is the great model of \Roman London\ as it existed In the early part of the Fourth century. The total dis- tance around this venerable section is to little more than three miles. Use Tails as Weapons Sonm nnlmals swing a wicked tail. Whales are Famous for this and so are eertnin large lizards. The octo- pus has the prize weapons of all in hls eight arms, each equipped with a double row of suckers.

Bargain Brides Parents of Turkish girls sell their daughters to the highest bidders on the island of Cyprus A bargain bride may be obtained for RR little as $200. Others bring up to $500, Two Auto Accidents Mrs. Anna Mees and Mrs. Fred Crow had a vary harrowing ex- perience Wednesday evening on the bench road from Suffolk to Winifred, when the car they were in met head-on with a car driven by Al Disbrow who was accompanied by a Mr. Skelton. The ladies were somewhat bruis- ed up by striking the windshield and steering wheel. Both cars were badly damaged. Parker Harris and Chas. Stev- ens. local Winifred boys,, had a very narrow escape from being seriously injured when the coupe they were riding in rolled over twice about 8 miles east of Wini- fred on the D -Y highway. The only explanation the boys could give for the accident was that the car hit a rut of which there were many. Both boys picked themselves up about 20 feet from where the car stopped. The top was torn completely away from the body of the car. Huey Long, United States Sen- ator from Louisiana, was assassi- nated Monday at Baton Rouge, La., by Dr. Carl A. Weiss, a young physician, who in turn was killed by Long's bodyguards. Carl Haun assumed the duties of postmaster Monday and seems to be right at home as he did quite a bit of this kind of work in the Lewistown office some time ago. Miss Kathryn Willis will continue in the capacity of assistant. Mr. and Mrs. Burl Blackweld- er were town callers Wednesday. Burl was in a very happy mood as he had recovered the pocket- book that they had lost several days before in the Flax district the pocketbook contained about seventy dollars besides some val- uable papers and a little juwelry. It was found by Glen Rich's chii- dren on their way to school. The M. E. Ladies' Aid will not meet next week as every one is busy canning. The next meet- ing date will be Oct. 3rd at the church. We expect every mem- ber to be present on that date. Largest Elevator Structures Manhattan boasts the tallest and the largest elevator structures in the world, notes a writer in the New York Times. In the Empire State building a freight elevator travels 986 feet from the sub -basement to the eighty- sixth floor. In the Port Authority building an elevator with a carrying capacity of 40,000 tons lifts four load- ed trucks. The platform of the ele- vator, 17 by 34 feet, stopped all traffic in the Hudson tunnel for two hours when It was carried through. It nego- tiated the tube with two feet to spars. Noisiest Bird The scream of the peacock can be heard a mile away, but the noisest bird In the world is the cockatoo. A single bird can make a din which would drown a dozen motor -car horns and dim the mound of a steam whistle. The bell -bird of Brazil is runner-up to the cockatoo. This white bird Is about -the size of a pigeon. It lifts its head In the air and makes a noise that sounds like the bang of n hammer on an anvil. Why Ho dish Loses Strength The pungency of horseradish roots is caused by a glucoside capabl.- of be- ing split into sugar. It does not CRUM' pungency until worked on by an enzyme, which does not appear until the vegetable Is crushed. Further more, the oil released, containing the pungent element, Is quite volatile and disappears quickly. In other words, horseradish will not retain its pun- zency more than a few days If kept open or If continually exposed. Even if kept tightly sealed it cannot be ex- pected to remain pungent more than three weeks at the outside. Gold and Lead The only solid that can be permeated •nother solid at ordinary tempera - hire is lead —and that only by gold. When a layer of gold is covered by, a layer of lend, the gold molecules' will—in ttme—hecome diffused through- out the leml.—Niurial E. Young, Pa- tershoirg. Alaska. in Collier's Weekly.
