Red Cross Rollcall
Begins Tomorrow
Mrs. Charles. T. Rice has been
appointed chairman of the fifth an
nual roll call of the American Red
Cross. The official date for the com
neçement of the roll call has been
for tomorrow. Armistice day, and to
- be continued until Thanksgiving.
In Cascade county the American
Legion and the members of the Dis
abled Veterans of the World^ War are
cooperating with the Red Cross and
have taken charge of the roll call. One
dollar is all that is asked from each
fajnily and the greater part of this is
^ to be used in Cascade county. .
Last year, according to the records
of the Cascade county chapter, a total
of $14,000 was given to it by the na
tional headquarters. The amount
turned in during the year was $5,000.
The same situation prevails this year,
according to Harriet E. Carrier, sec
retary of the e'.apter, and with a cou
pie of months left^ for the work of
1921 the funds of Cascade county are
exhausted.
The disabled veterans and .members:
of the American Legion are coopérât
ing with the officials of the Red Cross
in the roll call because of the work
done in their behalf by the Red Cross
since the demobilization of the army
and during their service period, it was
stated by the officers of the two or
ganizations. The officials of the Red
Cross, not only in Cascade, but in oth
er counties, have done a great deal
toward satisfying the compensation
C lai ms .. of formet service men and
members of the organizations are
ing this opportunity to repay to some
extent the debt of gratitude owed the
national Red Cross, it-was stated.
The county chapter of the Red Cross
, has the files of over 300 former ser
vie- men who have claims fur com
pensation and through the use «f these
files numerous cases which were de
laye.l in settlement have been adjusted
through the assistance of Red Cross
officials The records of the Cascade
county chapter show that former ser
vice men have received approximately
$160 000 for compensation through the
assistance of the Red Cross. In addl
tion to this over a million dollars in
goveniment insurance has been rein
stated. Employment has been secured
for former service men and others
■«ä;£ä s .
. turns are seeking the assistance of the
public to the utmost capacity in- their
Worte for the Red Cross and stated
that in their opinion the former ser
vice men a n « the public in general are
indebted to the Red Cross for the work
it has done on behalf of the youth of
the nation during the war.
Mrs. Rice will appoint her assist
ants for the work during the coming
week, and in view of the very excel
« lent work accomplished by the ladles
JP. ,.*7°'* . 1 of ast they will
likely be given an opportunity to re
•onn tbe,r succes ,® this year. Nearly
$300 was contributed last year in
Belt, and the coming campaign should
do as well if not better.

HEARING IN SUPREME COURT
Coal Operators and Dealers Ask Lower Rates
Claim Reduction of Railroad Raxes Necessary to Compete With Motor Truck Haulage
The entry of independent transpor
talion of coàl from the Sand Coulee
and Belt field to Great Falls, besides
stirring up things among the dealers
Betrÿf that city, also presented an öjppor
tune moment for the Cascade County
Coal Operators' association to seek a
lower railroad rate, and they have
filed such a petition with the Great
- Northern. In this petition, which
went to L. B. Woods, assistant general
freight and pass.tiger agent with
headquarters in Helena, they put
j forth the plea that the rates on coal
shipments have increased to such an
extent that both the railroad and the
operators have suffered a loss of
1 thousands of dollars per month.
Gregt Falls agents of the Great
Northern have taken the matter up
direct with St. Paul and action on the
rate is expected within the next week,
George W. Merkle of this city is presi
dent of the operators' .association and
Fred Sturm of Great Falls is secretary
and treasurer.
The members of the association say
that the increase in freight rates has;
been exorbitant and that in view of,
the increase in rates the companies
have failed to ship as much as in prev- \
jous years and. as a consequence, both;
the road and the shippers have suffer
ed and large amounts of coal have been
hauled to Great Falls from the Sand
Coulee and Belt mines at a price ne
low that offered by retail dealers.

The extraordinary fine weather of
: the past month or two which was end
cd Monday by frost and snow, has
been the cause of much comment
among the keen observers of meteor
Rival events, the general opinion be
ing that it ha» been one of the mildest
autumns that Montana has exper
»«need within the memory of the old
old-timer. Since late September
there has scarcely been more than a
Ujfht frost observed at any time and
: the farmers have had the very best
conditions under „ which to complete
their fall work, practically all of them
in tb i* section now resting easy in the
satisfaction of being fully prepared
for winter. The winter wheat acre
"Ke sown is probably much larger
than it would have been under the cor
ditions of an ordinary fall, as many
farmers continued sowing wheat much
la tcr than they usually would, under
the temptaion of sunny skies and mild
breezes. The earlier fall sown wheat
"hows an unusual growth and will
make good winter pasturage for -he
»took, a practice which is general in
<h,s locality.

A temporary shortage of car*
threatened to halt the movement of
wheat at local elevators Saturday. Inî
fact, the Rocky Mountain elevator was
completely filled on that day and a
few loads turned away, but the arrival
of seven cars the first of the week re
lieved the situation materially and a
promise of cars now available will
soon clear the elevators of the surplus
The slump in the market the latter
part of last week helped the situation
also, as there was an evident falling
off in receipts. With a better market
the firs, of the week and room made
in the elevators, there was a brisker
movement in deliveries^ Approximate
ly 160,000 bushels of wheat have been
received by the two local elevators,
about equally divided. That a great
deal of wheat still remains to be mar
keted is the opinion of the elevator
men. basing their estimates on the fact
that the movement of wheat from the
foothills, where threshing was late,
has just begun
In response to a letter from the
Northwestern Grain Dealers' associa

J County Coal Operator*' association
I are selling coal to the truckmen at the
established retail price of |5 per ton
for screened grades, though it is as
sorted that orie mine is making a price
of $4.50 per ton for the same grades,
While admitting that the truck haul
ers are entitled to- the wholesale rati,
the operators claim they are bound to
protect the dealers, defending their
position on the very reasonable ground
that aside from contracts, that at any
time a storm might put the truckmen
out of business and thus necessitate a
partial closedown of the mines. They
also point out the fact that the truck
is only on trial as yet and has not
demonstrated its permanence as a
transportation factor in the coal busi
ness. On ethical grounds, also, as
one operator points out, the mines ar»
bound to consider the dealer as an all
the year round distributor, who often
suffers a loss during the slack season
which must be made up during the
brisk times of the winter.
There is little doubt that the haul
a,ri ' by truck has had a big effect In
reducing the price of coa! to the con-1
sumer in Great Falla and has also cut
in to an appreciable extent upon the
railroad shipments.
The continued warm weather up to
the first of the week has had its in-1
fluence upon the coal industry also,
a* a lack of orders compelled a couple
day« layoff last week in two or j
three of the local mines, which had
been working six days a week since
September.

Vaudevillalns Give
Excellent Program
The second entertainment given by
amateur talent under the auspices of
(be Epworth League Saturday evening
went over with considerable "pep,"
notwithstanding the company labored
under a few mishaps and unforseen
accidents that called for prompt
tion. After an audience that filled the
auditorium to capacity had gathered
it was discovered that one of the prin
cipal numbers on the program was
stranded in Great Falls owing to a
failure of stage connections,
r a r w «s dispatched at
brought the missing number in time
to tfo on at the proper time. Owing
to the absence of W. E. Morris of Fife
who had been engaged for a baritone
solo. Rev. Aiton volunteered to fill
in with a recitation on the spur of the
moment and got along fine until he
lost a line in the 'steenth verse, which
refused to be pawed out of the air.
However, Mr. Aiton with remarkable
presence of mind, gave his own ver
»ion of the missing lines and went on
with the narrative to the end.
The entertainment opened with "The
Waking of the Paries" in which a
bevy of little folks with dazzling cos
tumea made a pretty and brilliant pic
ture with a tuneful accompaniment
that evidently put the audience in a
good humor. This was followed by
Mrs. Arthur Lewis in Scotch songs
and recitations. Mrs. Lewis has a
most pleasing voice, of power and ex
««dient training and her efforts called
for a hearty encore. In this number
"he was assisted by Mr. Aiton. sub
stitutlng for Mr. Morris, who was un
able to be present.
"The Dance of the Dolls," tabloid
fantasia in which Miss Joy Browning
exhibit, d 0 bewildering collection of
1 . 11 s in various national costumes and
life-like mechanic«! action, was follow
ed by a skit entitled "Getting Rid of
Father" well «.fed and full of local
hit" and jokes.
Thd sp^arance of Mis* Camille

applause which wai fully sustained by
n- r rp îî rfiti " n ?/ D * vid '» ''^armant
Oiseau" and "11 Bacio" by Arditi^ in
lull«,. "The Us, Rose of Summer"
being given as an encore. Miss Polut
nik is a B«dt girl who is probably des
fined for fame n the mimical world
ssr
With no pretension« toward musical
criticism, we feel that her hope» will
be realized.
Master Harry Dotseth of Great

and although this youngster is by far
the most juvenile violinist that ever
appeared on a Belt sthge, he easily
demonstrated that as an artist he
