A special election will be held in
Glasgow Monday, August 6, for the
purpose of submitting to the taxpay-
ers affected, the question of issuing
bonds amounting to $19,5OO for the
purpose of procuring water supply
sufficient to meet the consumption Of
said city and constructing a central
sewerage pumping unit, and also sub
mitting the question of extending the
three per cent limit of indebtedness to
the extent necessary.
There are three propositions to be
decided on. One is the dixie which, it
constructed, will run from the rail-
road embankment around the south
part of town to a point below the
power plant. The total cost of the
dixie is estimated at $4,000. Consid-
ering that it costs about one-third of
this amount to fix the streets after
every flood, the dixie proposition is
offered as the solution of the flood
problem.
The payments will be spread over a
number of years, and the cost to each
lot effected will be but a small
amount.
A drainage system to take the flood
waters from the coulees on the north
side is also proposed. The annual
damage to streets and property is
more than the cost of the proposed
system.
It is also necessary to procure an
additional water supply sufficient in

All Registered Men Should Learn
New Number Before Draft Starts

Mike Kaminski of Glasgow. This list
has been posted on the bulletin board
at the court house and every man
who registered is expected to inspect
the list himself, as the officials have
not been asked to inform them of the
new order.
Every man registered should know
his new number. Every Valley county
registration card has been numbered
in red ink and men drafted will be
indicated by these new numbers only.
1t is essential that every man
know what his number is. The num-
bers drawn will be posted at the
court house and printed in the Cour-
ier, and drafted men must answer at
once.
The first thing necessary is to re-
port to the county board for physical
examination. Then claims for exemp-
ton may be presented. Every man
must, however, be examined at the
start.
Men who are physically fit and do
not claim exemption will await as
signment to other duty. Men claim
ing exemption must promptly appear
before the board with sworn proofs
to support their claims. If their claim
is based upon their need in vital in.
dustries they must go before a dis.
trict board, not yet named.
But all that is to come later. Tht
important thing now is: "Learn you,
number" ~

FALSE DRAFT REPORTS
MEAN PROSECUTION
Penalty Of $50, 200 Fine, Twenty
Years Imprisonment, or
Both, for Violators.

Strict prosecution, under the feder-
al statute, for those who were re-
sponsible last week for sending ru-
mofs broadcast throughout the coun-
try that the first draft numbers had
been drawn, were promised by the
federal officials.
Federal agents are at work tracing
the origin Of a report, circulated
throughout the country last week,
that certain numbers had already been
drawn. Apparently the message was
sent by an eastern operator as joke.
However, there was no merriment
in it's reception at brokerage offices
throughout the country. Thirteen
numbers were given as the num-
bers that had been drawn. Men
holding those numbers from their
precinct registration were thrown into
panic. In the east some resigned
their positions and prepared to leave
for the front. Newspaper offices
were deluged with inquiries as to the
authenticity of the rumors. Only a
prompt denial by the press quieted
the general uneasiness.
The following from the espionage
act recently passed by congress COW
ers the case:
whoever, when the United States
is at war, shall wilfully make or con-
vey false reports or false statements,
with the intention to interfere with
the operation of the military forces of
the United States, or shall cause or
attempt to cause insubordination or
shall wilfully obstruct in any manner
the recruiting service of the United
States, to the injury of the United
States, shall be punished by a fine of
not more than $4,000 or by imprison-
ment for not more than 20 years or
both"
This gives the authorities of the
United States full force and power
to prevent the circulation of such ru-
mors as will inconvenience or disturb
the recruiting of the citizens who will
be chosen by draft to make up the
expeditionary forces.

AUTOMOBILE PRIZE FOR
GRAIN AT STATE FAIR
Farmers of State Will Have (:
Chance to Win Big Prize
With Display.

In this day of good roads, when an
automobile is perhaps the most use
full and agreeable possession of a
farmer and his family, the great grain
special prize, a Studebaker automo-
bile worth $685., which is offered by
the Montana State fair. as one of it's
great features for 1917, should fix the
attention and inspire the enterprise
of every grain grower in Montana.
The great wheat special, which is
offered by the fair as stimulus tc
the cultivation ofshigh class wheat, is
as follows: "For the best ten sheaves
of Turkey Red wheat, taken from a
field of not less than 10 acres, and
gathered just as it comes from the
binder, and to be threshed upon the
state fair grounds during the week of
the state fair, the state fair will give
a new 1917 model Studebaker four,
five-passenger touring car"
The second prize in this competition
will be $50; the third $25, and the
fourth $40.
The rules of the contest require
that each bundle must be approxi-
mately nine inches in diameter at the
point where the binder tied it with the
binding twine. To secure a standard
by which the yield of the ten sheaves
may be tested, the circumference of
each bundle and the total of all will
be measured. By this means a fair
comparison may be made of the COM
petitive entries. Judges will make
sure the bundles are binder tied.
The samples will be judges on quail
ity and yield.
Here is state fair contest that no
wheat grower in the state can afford
to pass by. 1t is only one of the
numerous chances to profit by ex-
hibiting at the fair.
