A. Abernethy in charge.

H. B. Wood is among the most widely known bond buyers in the northwest. He organized the bond department of the Wells-Dickey company several years ago and during the past 10 years ha3 handled for that company and for his own house several millions of dollars worth of Montana bonds. Realizing the great development era facing Montana, the firm of Kalman, Matteson Wood have decided to establish state headquarters here, selecting Billings as an ideal location from the standpoint of railroad facilities and agricultural resources.

Mr. Abernethy plans to bring his family here from St. Paul next month. Funeral services for the late William Edgar Gifford were held at the Methodist church Saturday afternoon before a large numoer of friends of the deceased. The Rev.

J. O. Randall conducted the services and paid warm tribute to Mr. Gifford, whom he characterized as a man of broad intellect and sterling worth. He spoke feelingly of Mr.

Gifford's work in connection with the Methodist church. Three brothers, all Methodist ministers, live in Michigan, as well as a married daughter! No relatives live in Montana. Pallbearers were selected from the Methodist brotherhood. Interment was made in the Billings cemetery. PTT.

ZDOIERMAX RETURSS. That the church may take its proper place in welcoming the soldiers and sailors upon their return from service, is the object of a movement being pushed by the army and navy department of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, which has been devoting its time for the past years in caring for the interests of the men and their families. William C. Harvey, who until a few weeks ago had been stationed at Camp Lewis conducting the work of the brotherhood there, arrived in Billings Friday evening on a flying trip through the northwest in the interest of the movement.

"The trouble with the churches of America is that they are completely out of touch with the men, particularly those in the army and navy," said Mr. Harvey. "The hopes for the future of our civilization rests with the churches and the churches must take an active Racine Union iTE- OF SCHOOL Private Albert Zimmerman returned last week from 19 months' service with the American army overseas.

Lawrence of the Yellowstone county farm bureau. The labor situation on the farms of Montana has become ac, cute, says Mr. Lawrence, and at a recent meeting of the executive committee of the bureau, he was instructed to take up with officials in Washington, the problem of getting the farm boys released from the army, and forwarded the following letter to Secretary Houston of the department of agriculture: "At a meeting of the executive committee of the Yellowstone county farm bureau held this day it was resolved to petition your honor to intercede with the proper authorities and use your best influence to obtain the speedy release from the camps in this country, of Montav's farmer boys, in order to relieve the scarcity of farm labor throughout the state at the present time.

"The urgent need of experienced help at this time and the exorbitant cpst of substitute help available is seriously impeding the planting of a normal crop and some immediate action is necessary to secure relief. "The seemingly unnecessary detention at the various camps of a great number of our young homesteaders and farmers' sons for no apparent reason is working hardship on our overworked older citizens, who in fervent patriotic spirit faithfully answered the call for planting a large acreage this past- year. Their excessive burdens and the ravages of influenza has re, suited in a situation which might readily be relieved through the release of the mainstay of 'our farming industry, the young men who are willing and anxious to return home but are withheld by some influence which we beg of you to investigate and try to The secretary of agriculture replied that he had been assured by the war department that everything possible is being done to release the boys as fast as the army organization would permit.

It must give real recognition to the fact that these boys left their homes here, sacrificing everything that was dear to them, to go to a foreign land and fight the greatest battle for Christianity in the history of the world. "These boys are coming back, many of them to a new life, with new ideas and ideals, and confronted with new problems. They are coming back to homes that have, in many cases, been sadly changed during their absence.

It is the province of the church to give these hoys every material aid within its power. The churches of each community should get in touch with the families of these boys, and, with the boys. It should have committees whose duties are to call upon the families before the boys return, and then communicate with the boys, telling them that they have done so, and offering them every assistance in their power to give. "It is this kind of material assistance that will bring the men hack to the churches, where they should be," said Mr. Harvey.

While the brotherhood represented by Mr. Harvey is dealing mainly with the Protestant Episcopal church, it is urging all denominations to adopt a similar plan. While in Billings, Mr. Harvey appointed J. H.

"The American public are tired of patriotism now that the war is over. The only thing that will appeal to them is a cold-blooded business proposition." Do you believe it? Do you think the American people are g6ing to invest in the Victory Liberty Loan only because it's a bully good investment that shows sound business sense? Seventy-two thousand Americans went to France and "invested" all they had in Liberty and were killed before their "dividends" came due. That was a "cold-blooded business proposition." Two million other Americans went to France, too, and willingly offered to get in on the same "investment." And they knew they'd never "clip a coupon." That was a "cold-blooded business proposition." Thirty million other Americans here at home got in on that "investment" saved and went without things for a year and a half to do It. That was a "cold-blooded business proposition." Well we've got a' job to finish. And we're still Americans.

Do you believe we're not going to do it in the old American way? What Americans are most vitally interested in just now is the proposition to see the job through right to a finish with whatever American dollars and whatever American energy it may take. That may be a "cold-blooded business proposition." Some people call it Patriotism. For Men of Action Give Satisfaction Racine Old Reliable Work Shirts let muscles play in every way.

These examinations will be held at the county seats of all counties in the state, but all papers will be sent to a state board of educational examiners at Helena for grading, and all certificates will be issued by this board. Teachers whose certificates expire before the next examination, Dec. 4 and 5, 1919, and who expect to teach in, Montana this fall, must take the June examination, since permits cannot issued to persons who might have taken the June examination and failed to do so.

SATURDAY AND MONDAY BARGAIN PRICE If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, -dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine- This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
