REV. CHRISTLER TELLS
OF WHEAT IN MONTANA

The New York Times prints the
following interview with Rev. L. J..
Christler of this city, who has been
visiting New York the past month:
"Wheat in Montana this year is
high, despite the dry weather in
June and July, but the total crop in
bushels will be no larger than it was
last year, because wheat is some-
thing like a mans talk-the longer
it is the less valuable. All the wheat
seems to go to stalk, and if the rain
had come in July the heads would
have filled up so that Montana would
have had wheat enough to feed the
world, and she would have been in
deed, a Treasure State Instead,
there was a drought and, while the
crop will be small in comparison to
the acreage under cultivation, the
total output will be no smaller than
it was last year.
"Just as the war is affecting Mon
tana by forcing the prices of her
wheat up, she is giving up another
of her crops, crop that is finer
even than her wheat-and better
wheat grows nowhere. Montana was
one of the first states to fill her regu-
lar army quota. She has exceeded it
by far now. And this will probably
make the gathering of the second
crop more difficult now, although
most of the wheat is now in the
shocks, waiting for the thresher."

cruits and they came west with the
IA drafted men. The entire town
turned out to give the men a fare
we'll.
"Glasgow has about 1000 inhabi-
tants, and is less than six years old,
yet the town took $256,000 worth of
Liberty Bonds, or about $50 for ev-
cry man, woman and child in the
town. Glasgow has an active men,
bership of 400 in the Red Cross, and
it is working all the time. The
merchants of the town subscribed
$400 per month to buy goods for the
women of the Red Cross to make into
bandages, garments, etc., for the SOL
diers, and the women are working
day and night on this class of work" "

BOOSTS GLASGOW AS
MOST PATRIOTIC TOWN
Recruiting Officer, in Interview,
Praises City for Its Display
of Patriotic Spirit.

Glasgow is gaining nationwide no.
toriety for its efforts in helping the
nation win the war. In the Sunday
Spokane Spokesman-Review, Corporal
William V. Nessly, who was assigned
here for week on recruiting service,
gave out the following interview:
"Montana is showing greater pa
triotism than any western state, and
Glasgow is the most patriotic town in
the state," said Corporal William v.
Nessly of the Spokane recruiting sta
tion, who returned Saturday morning
from tour Of Montana, bringing with
him 19 recruits from Glasgow. During
the trip he had sent in a number of
recruits from other points in the
state.
"The secretary of the Glasgow
Commercial club, L. E. Jones, is a
live wire and an enthusiast for the
army" said Mr.. Nessly. "When he
learned that l was to be there he
sent word to 54 papers in Montana
and asked cooperation in securing re-
cruits. When left Glasgow tele-
grams and telephone calls were still
coming in from neighboring towns,
and since returned to Spokane tele-
grams asking for transportation for
volunteers who reached Glasgow after

KEROSENE CARBURETOR
PROVES BIG SUCCESS

Two Ford trucks, owned by the
Tattan Transfer Co., travelling to-
gether and carrying about the same
load of 2700 pounds, made trial test
of the Protter Kerosene Carburetor
by going to Opheim and return.
One of the trucks was equipped
with the kerosene carburetor and used
coal oil for fuel, while the other truck
was equipped with the regular gaso-
line carburetor and used commercial
gasoline.
The trucks started on the trip on
Wednesday and returned Thursday,
covering a distance of 113 miles. A
careful check was kept on the cars,
and it was found at the end of the
journey that the kerosene carburetor
equipped truck had used 1-2 gallons
of coal oil, while the other car had
used IA 1-2 gallons of gasoline. One
truck averaged IA miles to the gallon
on kerosene carrying load Of 270O
pounds, while the other truck averaged
only 8 miles on a gallon of gasoline
with the same load. The difference
in price of the two fuels was also q
big item, as the kerosene retails for
20 cents gallon and the gasoline for
35 cents.
C. O. Moore has secured the state
agency for the Protter carburetor and
intends to put on an extensive cam
paign to place it on every car. As
yet they are only made for Fords, but
in the spring they will be made to fit
any car.

INVENTOR EXPLAINS
GAS TURBINE ENGINE
G. J. Cooper, Local Man, Tells
of Exceptional Qualities Of
His New Invention.

Inventors are very scarce as yet
in this part of Montana, but Glasgow
can boast of one who has shown his
creative genius in developing gas
turbine engine which will revolution
ize the motor industry, if successful.
G. J. Cooper, formerly employed by
the Great Northern, is now devoting
his entire time to his invention and
with a company of substantial bust
ness men behind him, efforts are be-
ing made to secure enough additional
capital to construct working model
of the engine.
While in the Courier office the
other day, we asked Mr.. Cooper in
what way his invention would be
better than the present type OF engine
in general use.
"There would be no comparison"
said Mr.. Cooper. "The engine that |
have had designed here aims at what
the big mechanical engineers call
power perfection. High efficiency is
it's aim. The engine will be as silent
as an electric motor and will run with
about as much trobule."
"But how about its flexibility?"
"There is not question about its
flexibility. At three thousand revo-
lutions per minute there are thirty
six thousand explosions against the
turbine wheel, and like number of
released steam impulses"
"Will the consumption of gas be

Tuesday. Will Be in Camp At
Charlotte, North Carolina,
for Intensive Training.

Tuesday afternoon, the first contin-
gent of the Second Montana infantry
entrained at Fort Harrison and are
now en- route to Charlotte, North
Carolina, where they will be given in
tensive military instruction before
proceeding to France.
In special train made up of six
teen cars the Montana boys are now
nearing the end of their journey. The
train carried Company A Of Bozeman,
Company G of Glasgow, Company I,
the Machine Gun company, Head
quarters Company, and the regiment
al band. All told, there were about
six hundred men, including Colonel
McGuinness and his staff. The troops
were followed by a supply train.
Nine companies of the Second Mon
tana remain in Montana under the
command of Jesse B. Roote. Some of
these are scattered over the state do
ing guard duty, while the rest are
in barracks at Fort Harrison. It is
believed that these will be sent to
Charlotte in the near future.
Rumors are current that the Mon-
tana boys may soon see service in
France. A dispatch from Washington
states that the Second Montana regi-
ment, together with the regiments
from Wyoming, Washington and Ida
no will form the third guard division
sent to France, these regiments COM
prising the Forty-frst division under
Major General Hunter Liggett. 1t is
understood that one division of the
national guard is already in France;
that second is now preparing to
embark, and that the third, including
the Montana boys, will be ready to
set sail shortly after their arrival at
Camp Green, North Carolina, whittier
they will be sent very shortly.

FIRE AT BAYLOR
DESTROYS STORE

About l a. m. Sunday, fire COM
pletely destroyed the building and
contents of the Baylor Mercantile Co.
at Baylor. The establishment was
owned by Fox & Ostrom and had
been doing a nice business.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
and it was under such headway when
discovered that it could not be stop
ped. The building burned to the
ground. Insurance amounting to
$1,000 partly covers the loss. The firm
expects to rebuild as soon as the ad-
iustments are made.

On Wednesday, September 10, at
1885 p. m. Valley county's second
draft contingent, comprising 112 men
or 40 per cent of the entire quota of
279 men, will leave here on a special
train for Camp Lewis at American
Lake, Washington.
A special train, carrying Sheridan
county's quota of 149 men will stop
here to get this county's contingent,
and will then leave for the west,
stopping at Malta, Chinook and Shell
by. At Malta SO men will get on
board, at Chinook, II and at Shelby
"a. The train will be composed of
ID tourist sleepers, and the railroads
promise every comfort for the men
while they are on the road.
The names of the men selected to
go on Wednesday are published below,
but Sheriff Powell requests that any
drafted men who desire to 60 with
this bunch, will probably get the op-
portunity, as there may be some tardy
ones. Mr.. Powell has been besieged
with requests from men whose num-
bers come further down the draft
list, to be permitted to go on the
10Th, but they will not get this op-
portunity, unless vacancy occurs
among the men originally selected,
and then they must be in town where
the sheriff can get in immediate touch
with them.
All the men listed below should re-
port to Sheriff Powell at the court
house at $3.50 a. m. on Wednesday
September 10. Failure to do this will
subject them to court-martial, for
from the time they receive their no.
tice to oppear, they are soldiers of
the United States and under military
discipline. Any who fail to report at
the required time are liable to pun
ishment by the military authorities.
Plans are being formulated for a

men who are called to the colors. The
