A GOOD CAUSE

The good work done and the fine
spirit shown by the Glasgow Fire De-
partment is deserving of commenda-
ton. They have shown that they are
awake to their responsibilities and
have responded promptly and cheer
fully to alarms at all hours and in all
kinds of weather.
They are doing their share, free
gratis, for the community. They
sadly need rubber coats, hats and
boots to fight fires. Many good suits
Of clothes have been ruined by the
members, to their own personal loss.
Possibly the city could manage to
get this equipment for the fire lad
dies. And along with this the estab-
lishment Of a fire alarm system would
add greatly to the efficiency of the
department and the safety of the
community.

WARNED

The merchants of the northwest are
warned against the activities of a
check artist who has been working
his way west from eastern points,
through Dakota and Montana.
The game is worked at the rush
hour in a store, when the man in
question presents a travellers check
on a Canadian bank for a large
amount, in payment of a small pur-
chase. A letter of identification
signed by the bank declares that he
has purchased the check in question
and is genuine. However the check
presented is a counterfeit, made pay
able to one of the swindler's many
aliases.
Merchants in this part of the state
are warned to be on the lookout.

"ALL CROOKS BUT ME-"

Any man holding public office who
is independent enough to incur the
enmity of the Valley County News is
either a crook or just an ordinary
thief.
In a recent issue the News editor
assails the City Council. If we are
to believe his article, Mr.. Rhodes
would probably as lief see profess
sional highwaymen or safe-breakers
on the council, as those who make up
the present board.
However, the people of the city and
county will understand the motives,
Some years ago Mr.. Rhodes was
caught in an attempt to fitch the coun-
ty out Of a large sum of money
Possibly he would like to get anothe,

THE PRINT-PAPER HOLD-UP

The department of justice has not
acted hastily in taking the inquiry as
to the price of print paper from the
hands of the trade commission. Facts
revealed long ago were impressive
enough to warrant the conclusion that
law rather than remonstrance was
needed to meet this situation.
In hardly any instance involving
monopolistic practices has the evil
dence Of guilt been more conclusive.
It can be demonstrated, we believe,
that the scarcity SO widely proclaimed
was deliberately created. The extor-
tionate prices based upon that fiction,
which have brought thousands of pub
fishers face to face with ruin, were
arbitrarily established. BY creating
panic conditions, manufacturers and
dealers found it easy to help them
selves to the financial Of
their customers.
How all-embracing this hold-up was
and is may be better understood when
it is said that almost overnight the
price Of print paper "a more than
doubled in many cases, and that to
increase the terror thus produced
there was a pretense of inability here
and there to continue supplies on any
terms. Without combination in Can
ada as we'll as in the United States
no such conspiracy could have sue
ceeded.
Investigation by the trade commits
sion has shown that the average price
now asked for print paper is 500 a
ton more than the average cost of
production. In that circumstance
alone we have proof that conditions
at the mills have not changed, for the
profit here indicated is greater than
the entire cost formerly Of an excel
lent quality of paper delivered.
If our laws against trade piracies
cannot reach a wrong so glaring as
this. they need hardly restrain more
clever offenders who at least operate
in the dark and cover up their tracks.

have been drawing wages that are
larger than ever they have been in
Montana. In the copper-producing
%centers prosperity is wearing it's very
best garb, radiant and smiling. The
big copper companies have increased
wages, voluntarily, three times in the
year, each time a boost of 25 cents for
the mar who works. The price of
copper never was so high; the prom
Use is that the metal will continue to
command this record price, for the
world needs copper-this is the cop
per age.
No long stretches of railroad have
been built in Montana in the last year,
but all the while the roads have been
doing something in the building line:
new extensions in several parts of the
state have been added to the holdings
of the roads; every day crews have
worked at repairs, so that in this in
dustry there has been no show Of
lethargy.
Montana is going to be classed with
the big beet sugar-producine states.
For years Billings has had a monop-
oily in this line, having turned out
mountains of sugar made from beets
grown in the immediate vicinity. Now
come Missoula, Hamilton and Deer
Lodge with the word that they are GO
ing in for sugar beet growing.

BAY RUM PROVES FATAL

Bay Rum may cause hair to grow
On a bald mans head but when taken
internally, it "Ain't what it's cracked
up to be-"
Bert Washington, a negro porter
in a Poplar barber shop, seeking to
satiate his camel's thirst, drank a
quantity of bay rum, thinking the al
cohol contained therein would fill the
bill. But it was not the right kind Of
alcohol, and shortly after taking his
libation, he was Frustrated, and died.
1t is said that Poplar is "dry." So
dry in fact that in the absence of the
Bacchian fluid, the sports have been
drinking anything from Vanilla ex-
tract to Knockout" drops.

GIVING DUE CREDIT

In electing Mr.. Sherman to the
presidency Of the Commercial Club,
the business men of Glasgow took a
step in a direction that will doubtless
prove to the best interests of the city
and county. Mr.. Sherman under

club, he is wideawake to the advan-
tages here and has the ability to get
out and do things.
And a Commercial club can do many
things for a town. AS Mr.. Sherman

NEW VAUDEVILLE
TO PLAY HERE

Manager Bishell of the Orpheum
announces that he has made arrange
ments whereby three acts of big-time
Hippodrome vaudeville will be pre-
sented at his theatre every Tuesday
night in the neal future. This is the
vaudeville that tours the big Acker-
mann-Harris circuit which plays such
cities as Butte, Spokane, Seattle, Ia
coma, Vancouver, Portland, San Fran
cisco, Sacramento, San Diego, Los
Angeles, Salt Lake City, Denver and
Kansas City. Manager Bishell has
made it possible for local theatre
goers to enjoy this frst-class big-city
brand of entertainment through nego-
tiations recently closed with the Kel-
lie-Burns association of Seattle, who
are the Northwestern representatives
FOR Alderman & Harris and the
Western Vaudeville Managers Asso-
citation of Chicago. Vaudeville, when
it is good, is about the finest kind of
entertainment there is and has grown
into great popularity throughout the
country, and Hippodrome vaudeville
has a reputation of being clean, bright
and entertaining. Many acts Of ma
tional re nown are booked for an early
appearance here, including classy
comedians, dainty singers and dane
ers, and top-notch vaudeville novelties.
Manager Bishell had the opportunity
of seeing several of these acts re-
Gently in Butte and Great Falls and
took immediate steps to secure book
ings for the Orpheum here.

Gated here if it had not been for the
untiring work of the Commercial club,
under the direction of Secretary S. C.
Moore.
This statement coming direct from
Mr.. Sherman is certainly a tribute to
the efficient work done by the Com
mercial club under Mr.. Moore. The
-four mill was brought here, more
through the personal efforts of Sec
rotary Moore, says Mr.. Sherman, than
any other factor. Mr.. Moorse is GER
tainly deserving the thanks of the
community for his able work while in
the club.

AFTER ALL
MONTANA IN 1916

Montana improves with age; the
older this state grows the better she
appears. Particularly is this true
when account is taken of the twelve
month just closed. The average
chronology of events is not, as a rule,
the most interesting reading. But
there is much in Montana's chronicle
of events in 1916 that is interesting to
a marked degree.
First off, the men who make a state,
who produce the things which make
for progress and good will on earth

served notice on those affected that
violations of the law will be prose-

Ate the Wrona Sandwich.

The sudden exodus of seven ne
groes from the Darkroom Of an uptown
cafe in New York brought several po-
licemen to the scene to learn the
cause of the ebony eruption. Only
one negro was left in the room when
the cops entered. He was found
breathing hard and paving the
ground. When called upon for nm ex-
planation he said: 1T is just this
way" he began. ME and seven other
gents were APPLYING poker here all
quiet and spectacle: was a-winning,
but not much, and was laying for the
bunch to make a-killing. l already
had three aces and was awaiting for
the fourth to roll round. Sure enough,
here she comes. 1t was just the same
as counting all the money my own
and then I discovered that some fool
negro had eat my sandwich. Then 1t
was that riz up 'er fighting-and you
seen them piling outer that door,"
"But what did you make such fuss
about one sandwich for?" asked one
Of the cops. Couldn't you get an
other one for dime?" Eyes, sir, I
guess 1 could, boss" said the negro
gladiator, "but not like that one. You
see, that sandwich Of mine, what some
one eat when I wasn't a-looking, was
the one where I vas a-keeping them

Blues slan Of Limitations.

The blues are usually related to lin
tation. If we have them it is a sign
that we are limited people. And, as a
rule, it Is hard for us to cure our
selves Of our limitations because We
are SO pleased with them and so proud
Of their possession. If we weren't We
shouldn't assert them so much and let
them do us so much harm. "W0rk is
all I care about in the world" When
we hear anyone make remark of this
kind we may be sure that he is on the
wrong road. He is a particular foolish
kind Of reflector. Think Of all the fine
things he doesn't care about in the
way Of human relations and healthy in
terests and enjoyments. The chances
are that one of these days work will;
turn on him and give him staggering
blow in the face. Long beforehand,
however, it will give him bad attacks

There, Soma In Speech.

All speech, even the commonest
speech, has something Of the song in;
1t; not a parish in the world but has
Its parish accent-the ryhthm or tune
TO which the people sing what they
have to say. Accent is kind Of
chanting; all men have accent of their
own, though they only notice that Of
others Observe, too, how oil passion
ate language does Of itself become
musical-with q finer music than mere
accent. The speech Of man In zeal
GUS anger becomes chant, song.
All deep things are song. Poetry there
fore we win call musical thought. The
poet is he who thinks IN that man.

of vision that makes him poet. See
deep enough, and you see musically,

ls sufficient to suggest the idea of
something to fear. We know of a

seen in the region she gave over the
idea because in fear Of possible attack
should she go out Of doors. Now, had
she refrained from acquiring the prop
erty because whippoorwill had been
heard nearby, she would have been
Just about as reasonable. A wildcat

WAR GARDENS

Every boy and girl in Denison and
Crawford County can help win this
great world war by growing war
garden. Food production is one of the
great issues now before the nation
some high in authority say the very
greatest issue-that those nations that
"a best meet the issue of food production
will win the war.
The enemy realizes the part gar
dens play in food production and are
& spending more time and effort in gar.
den work than ever before, and all
who know the ways of the enemy know
well that in gardening they are eff.
Client. Shall it be said that boys and
girls of Crawford county are behind
the boys and girls of the enemy coun-
tries in doing their bit to win this
war? Then let us, one and all, here
and now begin our plans for the best
garden possible.
And where in all this wide, wide
world can better garden be grown
than right here in 1owa-the garden
spot Of the world? He or she is a
Stacker indeed who fails to respond
with a will to the call of their country
for greater food production.
In no other way can so much food
he produced on given area as in a
garden. The pinch of hunger has not
yet been felt in Iowa and good gar
den next spring and summer and a
cellar filled with the products of that
garden next winter offers the surest
and least expensive insurance against
the time when the pinch of hunger
might otherwise be felt.
In these times Of wheatless and meat
less days, let us speed up food produc-
ton in every possible way. Let us con-
,tentrate our efforts-those Of us who
