The Milk River Valley Mission
Field, of which this city is part, will
be divided into two fields January LIST.
Rev. l.. j. Christler was the organizer
of this field, has fathered it's develop
ment for eight years and turns over

Sudden Death.

James rownsley died suddenly at
his home in this city Saturday even
ing at about nine O'Clock. Death
came very suddenly, as Mr.. Townsley
was attending to his duties as porter
at the Arcade on Thursday His death
was caused by blood poisoning, as he
had in some manner cut his foot and
blood poison set in, which before it
could be checked permeated the entire
system, causing death as above re-
corded. He was well liked by all who
knew him and leaves many friends,
besides wife and small son, to mourn
his loss.
James Edward Townsley was born
in Cedarville, Ohio, i'm 1874, and when
about fifteen years old moved with
his parents to North Dakota where
they resided until January 1914, when
Mr.. ToWnsley moved his family to
Malta where he has since resided.
Funeral services were held from the
residence Monday afternoon, Rev.
Carl Perrin of the Congregations

Taxes Not High In New County.

The editor of this paper spent
Tuesday in the country registering
voters for the election Tuesday.
February I'd, at which time the
division of the county will be sub
mitted to the voters. We failed to
meet with anyone who was not in
favor of division, and Il number of
them asked the question, "Will coun-
ty division lessen the taxes?" The
answer was given that in our opinion
it would. In every county inthe state
where they have divided the county
the taxes have been less than in
larger counties. We note in u paper
from Iowa where the county is COM
posed OF just twelve townships the
rate of taxation is just about one
halt of what it is in Valley county
The people OF the country are not
kicking so much on the rate of taxa
tion, it is the fact that they are get
ting little or nothing for money

GLENDALE

/ This is splendid weather for having
and the farmers about here have almost
finished cutting their immense crop OF
crimson clover and have more hay of the
finest quality than has been harvested
ever before. But less rain comes soon,
the planting of corn will be late, as it
seems impossible to pillow where the
clover was cut while it is so dry. Straw
berries are driving up on the vines.
On last Friday evening about sunset
VIM. Wolf and his man had a thrilling
experience while hauling berry crates
from the station to his home. He had
a load of $50 crates, which was piled
high with a man on top driving They
came to an automobile that was stuck in
the sand, but as the team approached
the machine started off with great smoke
and much noise. This frightened the
horses, who ran against a Telephone
pole an broke it off, breaking the wires
and the wagon. The man and the crates
were thrown off and the man badly
crippled. The party in the automobile,
despite the predicament of Mr. Wolf, re-
fused to stop his machine or lend any
help. Mr.. Wolf is very angry and offers
five dollars reward for information as to
who the party was.
