Officers were elected and plans of
action were outlined at the meeting of
the Valley County Home Guards on
Tuesday evening.
Considerable interest was shown in
the election, and large number at
tended the meeting. The ballots pre-
pared by the nominating committee
were distributed, and the members
marked their choices, with the results
shown above.
When the votes were announced
Mayor Matt Murray took the chair
and after making a short talk, called
upon various officers and members
for few remarks.
The feature of the evening was a
talk on "Patriotism" by Dan Mckay
and the applause and cheers at its
close showed that the audience had
been deeply affected by Mr.. McKay's
stirring remarks.
Other matters pertaining to the
guard were then discussed. A com
mittee was appointed to wait on sew
eral citizens who had been cited fol
neglect to subscribe to the Red Cross
and other unpatriotic acts.
A meeting of the executive commit
tee will be held tonight (Friday.
and the officers of the active branch
of the organization will be selected b!
them. AS soon as the organization il
completed in this respect, the com
manding officer will call upon al
those members who desire to join tn
active branch to report for drill, ant
regular drill nights will be named.
The membership of the Home Guart
now numbers we'll over the hundred
mark and an effort is being made t.
have every man in Valley county be
come a member.

PARKER A CAPTAIN

Among the officers commissioned
at the Preside from the Second train
ing camp is Clement A. Parker of
Glasgow, who was given commission
as captain IN the field artillery.
This is indeed signal honor, con-
sidering that Mr.. Parker had no pre-
vious military experience and won the
office on his ability. That he will
make good is a foregone conclusion.

HAY STACKS BURNED
AT COOPER RANCH

Four stacks of hay, containing about
1875 tons, were completely destroyed
by fire Tuesday at the ranch of F. D.
Cooper north of Glasgow. No one was
at the ranch when the fire started, but
from indications, it is believed that
it was of incendiary origin. The
buildings narrowly escaped the flames
The loss of the hay is hard blow
to Mr.. Cooper, as it represents the
winters feed for his stock, and espe-
cially so when feed and hay is almost
impossible TO get.

Actual Number of Men From County

BY Notwithstanding
Brisk at Local Office.

Valley county has done its share to
supply able-bodied men for Uncle
Sans fighting forces. Ever since war
was declared there have been hundreds
of volunteers and there seems to be no
end to the stream of young men who
have been coming in recently to offer
their services.
According to figures compiled from
the records kept by Secretary L. E.
Jones of the Chamber of Commerce
and Agriculture, 660 men have gone
off to war from Valley county. This
list includes only those men who have
enlisted through the local recruiting
office, the members of Co. G, and the
drafted men. The hundreds of others
who left for other towns and cities to
enlist are not included here, and it
would be conservative estimate to
say that over 800 men from Valley
county are "doing their Bit"
The number of enlistments and
drafted men follow:

That Glasgow is regarded as one
of the most patriotic towns in the
country is shown by the attitude of
the recruiting service. A recent letter
from the Spokane, Wash, office states
that "your service in the past has been
appreciated by this office and we are
very glad to cooperate with you."
To secure enlistments for the navy,
Chief Machinist's Mate F. G.. Martin
arrived in the city yesterday. Up un-
til this morning he had examined five
men and accepted two for service.
These were Lee E. Baldwin as fireman
and Russell R. Richardson as appren-
tice seaman. They will go to San
Francisco for training.
Another naval recruiting party will
be in the city about the 10th of De-
cember and they will make big cam
paign to secure men. One thousand
men are needed in this district. All
enlistments in the navy are for four
years and the age limits are from Is
to 35 years.
This morning five recruits left fo1

An interesting fact, forcibly
brought out in the story, is that no
singer can become great without a
perfect constitution. Most of the
famous operate stars are naturally
robust. Those who have not perfect
health as birthright are compelled
to acquire it by a course of training
as rigid as that undergone by ath-
letes. The person who is so fragile
as to be easily susceptible to colds

never reach success on the operate

touched upon in the story Of Mildred
Cover, in which Miss Young finds
one of her most engaging and de-
lightfully human roles. This char
acter is no tinsel heroine. but girl
who is actuated by impulses and de-
sires common to her sisters in every
stratum of society and in every part
of the world. There are few women
who would not do what she did, but
what makes the character impressive
is that she has the force of character
to raise herself from the dead level
of life. While her career is in the
making, however, there is fascinat-
ing love story, three men of contrast
ed character being enamored of tho
beautiful girl. Under the direction
of Charles Giblyn 1t is predicted that
"The Price She Paid" will set a new
mark for Miss Young's achievements
