LIBERTY LOAN BONDS READY

LIBERTY LOAN BONDS READY
Delivery of Liberty bonds to SUBJ
scribers, Secretary McAdoo announc-
ed recently, will begin September 26.
The IL federal reserve banks will dis
tribute the issues. Considering the
probable retention by many subscrib-
ers of interim certificates, already
issued, officials estimate that the
work of distribution will require sew
eral weeks.
The huge issue is larger in the num-
ber of bonds required than first re-
ports, based on more than 100000
individual subscriptions, indicated.
The number of coupon bonds, Secre-
tary McAdoo announced, is estimated
by federal reserve bank as in excess
of 100000, of which more than =
100000 are of the $50 and $100 de-
nominations.
In announcing the date of the COM
mencement of deliveries Secretary Nc
Adoo repeated his suggestion that
holders of interim certificates would
find it to their advantage in many
instances to hold the certificates, in
stead Of exchanging them for bonds,
until congress disposes of the bill au-
thorizing per cent interest rate on
the next offering.

Helena, Sept. 17.-Due to a short
age of hay along the line of its road
in northern Montana, the Great Nor

new and reduced rate which will be
effective Tuesday September 18. No
tifcation of this reduced rate was
received today by Chas. D. Greenfield

ing that the state council do what it
could to secure reduced rates on food

president of the Great Northern rail-
way, telling him of the situation. In
his letter Mr.. Greenfield said:

HUNTING SEASON OPENS

The rain which fell Friday and
Saturday muddied things up consid-

roads almost impossible, but it
brought smiles to the faces of many
local hunters, who prefer the thrill

hundreds of devotees of hunting who
sat watching through the rain be-
side the lakes and sloughs of the vi

and swiftly flying teal.
Saturday was an ideal day for
hunting ducks, and Lake Bowdoin, the
duck hunters paradise, was the Mecca
for the local nimrods.
All the hunting parties were sue
cessful in securing a share of the

joyed roast wild duck for the first
time this year.

people are put in position where
they can save their breeding stock,
it will be great many years before
they will be able to attain the posi-
tion as owners of cattle and other

Writing to Mr.. Greenfield under
date of September ID, Mr.. Kenney
says:
II am very glad to send you here
with copy of our new hay tariff from
which becomes effective September
eastern points to points in Montana
18, and which makes a very material
reduction in the rates. We were able
to put this tariff in effect through
special permission of the Interstate
Commerce Commission"
The new rates make a reduction
from points east on the Great North
ern to Glasgow of 1920 a ton. To
Havre and that country the reduc-
ton is $3.50 ton. West of Havre
to Great Falls and Billings the reduc-
tion is $3.50 ton. The reduction is
very slight to the Kalispell country
for the reason that investigation has
convinced the Great Northern people
that conditions as to feed for animals
are much better than in the sections
to which the larger reduction has been
made.

CHARTERED in Tents. Other
Troops Leave Soon

The battalion of the Second Mon
tana Infantry which left Fort Harri-
son last week, arrived at Charlotte
N. c., Sunday morning and is now
at Camp Greene near that city. Cards
received from Glasgow boys with
Company G. state that they like the
new camp fine and had very good
trip en- route. The Montana boys are
the second outfit to arrive.
The Montana guardsmen are in a
district noted as one of the chief play
grounds of the south as we'll as one
of the most thriving manufacturing
centers, and region that is rich in
historical memories.
The site for this tented city is con-
sidered by Col. I. W. Little, the quart
ermaster in charge of all canton
ments and camp construction, to be an
ideal location. It has good water and
is alongside a we'll kept roadway that
connects with excellent highways for
automobile and motorcycle riding.
The company will sleep under its
own canvas, but the kitchen and mess
| shacks are permanent screened build
ings and provided with all improved
camp sanitation arrangements. These
kitchens and mess shacks are built
near the main highway, with the tents
of tho regiment pitched on the rolling
ground inland.
Charlotte is midway between the
mountains and the seacoast and equl-
ly distant from Washington on the
north and Atlanta to the south. It is
the largest city between Richmond
and Atlanta, having an estimated pop
ulation of $4,000 persons, with 45o,-
900 persons living within so miles.
| It is the capital of Mecklenburg
county, whose people were the first
on this continent to declare for inde-
pendence. In the Bank of Mecklen-
burg the last conference of the Con-
federate cabinet was held, with Presi-
dent jefferson Davis in attendance.
The city's water supply is adequate
and is carefully guarded. A new
plant was recently built at a cost of
1921 900. There is pumping capaci-
ty of 100000 gallons day with
consumption of 100000 and reser-
voir supply of 600,000,0OO gallons.
Charlotte is the center of the tex
tile industry of the United States
with more looms, more spindles and
more mills within a radius of 100
miles than anywhere else in the Unit
ed States. There are 142 manufac-
turing establishments with widely di-
versified products, which are shipped
to all parts of the world, including
South America, the orient, Russia and
South Africa. The annual average
output of So of these plants is valued
at S16,236,352, and the average weekly
pay roll is S5O.O5O.

NEW RULES FOR DRAFT BOARD

NEW NJ LEO TOn O1NAE L DOAND0
New rules on draft exemption have
been sent out by Adjutant General
Phil Greenan of Helena at the direc-
tion of Governor S. V. Stewart, in
order that local and district boards
may not be troubled by faulty filing
of exemption claims without first
having the permission of the district
board. The rules follow:
"First, by the regulations of the
president governing appeals from
the action of district boards the claim
of appeal must be filed with the dis
trict board and cannot be received if
sent direct to the president, the pro-
vost marshal general, members of
congress or to any other places than
to the district board itself.
Second, papers, evidence and affi-
davits not considered by the district
board cannot be considered an appeal
from the district board.
"Third, the only cases in which
there is any appeal to the president
are cases in which a claim for dis
charge on the ground of engagement
in agriculture or industry has been
made in the district board. There is
no appeal to the president from the
action of the local board in depend
ency or other cases whose determina-
ton is within the jurisdiction of the
local board.
Fourth, all attempts to appeal
cases other than those involving the
decision of the district board on agri-
culture OF industrial exemptions from

little short of marvellous.
If dry land farming can be made a
success in the face of such weather
past four months, and the finest kind
as Montana has experienced for the
of wheat, oats, corn, barley, rye, flax,
potatoes, onions, cabbages, beets, let
tuce and other vegetables can be

Mid tears and cheers, Valley coun-
ty sent her second increment Of 112
men to the training camp at American
Lake, Washington, on Wednesday af-
ternoon. Sad partings were many,
but the spirit of the departure was
one of gallant sacrifice and patriotic
devotion. "On to Berlin" was the by
word of many of the drafted boys, and
they seemed to be in hurry to be
on their way. Others were made sad,
with thoughts of loved ones left be-
hind, but they went with spirit that
deserves nothing but praise.
Wednesday was practically holi-
day for all Glasgow. At $3.50 a. m.
the drafted men reported at the court
house and were given their instruc-
tions. Then at 10 o'clock, on the front
lawn of the court house, the citizens
of Glasgow and Valley county paid
tribute to the departing soldiers with
a fitting program.
After several patriotic airs by the
Glasgow band and the singing of
"America" by the assembled throng,
Chairman L. E. Jones introduced DR..
M. D. Hoyt as the first speaker.
In keeping with the spirit of the
occasion, DR.. Hoyt spoke to the boys
of the work which the district board
had been doing, and with his usual
good humor, told the story of the
darky who said he was shy an "organ''
and couldn't go to war.
Miss Christine Drager then mounted
the platform and recited some verses
from Robert w. Services "Rhymes of
Red Cross Man." The recitation was
rendered with much feeling and pa
thos.
Rev. R. H. Stone then addressed
the boys. His talk, though short, was
a masterpiece, and stirred his audi
ence deeply. His words gave the
departing soldiers confidence, and left

DEMAND TAXES
Mill CA &ClTY
Orders for Product of L.
Milling Company Exceeds
the Present Supply.
MACHINES RUNNING NIGHT and DAY
25C Barrels Daily Being Ground. Big
Demand for ''White Cross" Flour.
Wheat Being Shipped in to
Keep Mill Supplied.

Two hundred and fifty barrels of
<'White Cross" flour are now milled
daily by the Glasgow Flour Mill Go.
For the last month the local mill
has been kept running under capa-
city load grinding "a hours day, and
with an occasional shutdown to wash
out the boilers.
But despite turning out the capa-
city of $50 barrels every "a hours, the
mill is far behind in filling orders.
Car after car has left the local station
bound for points between Williston
and Great Falls, and as many more
have been shipped to New York to
be distributed there. Not day goes
by, but what several freight cars,
loaded with Glasgow flour leave for
some part of the country. Up until
yesterday, the mill was over 16 car
loads behind in filling orders. And
the demand for the flour was in
creasing rather than Stacking up.
Since the Glasgow Flour mill COM
menced operation, and the grinding
of "White Cross" flour began, it has
had a very successful run. The pro-
ducts of the mill have been sold on
their merits and it is no idle state
ment at this time to say that "White
Cross" is the most popular flour in
northern Montana. A great deal of
the credit for the tremendous sale of
larity must go to F. L. Sherman, man.
ager of the local mill. Never for a
the flour and it's ever-increasing popu-
moment has Mr.. Sherman relaxed in
his campaign to have every home in
Glasgow use nothing but "White
Cross" and his efforts in this direc.
tion have certainly borne fruit, fol
practically all the groceries in the
city, now handle the local flour ex-
clusively.
The problem of getting enough
wheat to keep the mill running has
been a serious one and to date nine
teen cars of grain have been shipped
in from western points. Twelve hun
dred bushels are fed into the machin-
cry which turns out the flour every "a
hours. Some local wheat has been
brought into the elevator but the bulk
of the grain in this vicinity is yet
on the farms. However, Mr.. Sher-
man looks for a steady six months
run at full capacity, running "a hours
a day.
That the grain grown in this vici.
nifty this year is of better quality than
that raised in other parts of Montana
is shown by the comparison of the
two at the Glasgow Flour mill. Prac'
tically all the wheat which the mil
has received from farmers in this
district has graded No. /, while the
wheat shipped in from other points
farther west, has only graded No. 2
The Glasgow Flour mill is one o1
the biggest industries in Glasgow anc
it certainly deserves the support o1
everyone. It is not question Of
standing back of the flour manufac.
tured here because it IS home tow1
product, but because it will prove
equal and superior to any other branc
on the market.
