The Tale of Two Cities.

Dickens wrote Il ia le Of two cities,
vivid, realistic and impressionable.
Valley county history making is pro-
ducing another tale of two cities.
Some cities achieve great things while
others have greatness thrust upon
them. Malta and Glasgow will quail
fy under both classification. Both
cities not only have made noteworthy
progress as clean, enterprising, go
ahead municipalities, but probably
are best known at the present time as
County seat cities-Glasgow the old
seat of the pioneer days Of Valley
County, and Malta, the proposed seat
for the just now a born in new county
of Phillips. 10 the citizens OF both
cities is due the credit for much
of the judicious publicity of Northern
Montana's resources and the sue.
cess of it's consequent development.
Both cities have been cOnspic u0ns in
the energetic work for the welfare
and prosperity of the great Milk River
irrigation project. I'm no two cities
on the Great Northern railrord has
there been more cooperation in the
work of bringing farmers to this
country, in securing better county
roads and in lettering conditions to
facilitate the marketing of crops.
Good cheer, pluck, application and
neighborly hospitality have been
among the first articles of the creed
of these two cities. Like the famous
Topsies of fiction the tale of these two
sister cities has just 'grew'' and
"grew" until they have reached their
present splendid status.
Now that our sister city of Malta
is about to acquire part of the pos
sessions she has helped her sister city
of Glasgow to attain, and become the
mistress Of a county of her own, we
most happily congratulate her upon
the success of her accomplishment.
May peace, plenty and prosperity sit
by her iireside is the Christmas wish
of the Courier. lasgoW Courier.

Nineteen hundred and fifteen.

Will it be one of life or of death.

a New Year!
To many of us it will be a year of
plenty-if we do our part-if we but
use our brains, and our energy, and
our perseverance-if we use them in
the right way.
But will we do that?
Will the right way appeal to us?
Many of us have made the custom.

HOG CHOLERA CURE
IS NOT AUTHORIZED

WASHINGTON, d. c., June q
Evidence Of what appears to be a
well organized campaign to delude
farmers throughout the country into
buying an alleged cure for hog chol-
era, under the impression that this
has been investigated and approved
by the United States government, has
reached the department Of agricul-
ture. Articles praising this medicine,
Benetol by name, are being sent out
widespread to newspapers. These ar
ticles are SO worded that it appears
as II the department OF agriculture
/ had received reports from the state
Of Minnesota showing that the medi-
cine had proved most beneficial. AS
a matter of fact, the one report re-
ceiyed by the department was an I'M
official and unsolicited statement
sent presumably from the promoters
themselves. The department attaches
no Importance whatsoever to this
statement. It has no reason to be
: lieve in the efficiency of any proprie
tary cure for hog cholera and does
not recommend any. Under certain
conditions it urges farmers to protect
their stock with anti-hogcholera Sc
rum, but that is all.
: In connection with this attempt ]
may be said that the medicine, which
is now put forward as good for hogs
was advertised some time ago as |
means OF killing tuberculosis, typhoid
: and cancer germs, according to al
. article published in the Journal of tn
!. American Medical association. A
that time it was asserted that tn
army was interested in it. AS a mai
:. ter of fact the army was no more in
terested then than the department o
agriculture is now.
In view of the evidence that the al
Y tempt to create this false impression
. is persistent and widespread, all no
owners are warned to eommunicat
with the United States authorize
D before accepting as true any state
b ment that the government recon
: mends any treatment other than tn
. serum already mentioned
