ernor Stewards returns showed that
Montana's registration of 88,273 ex-
ceeded the official estimates by 20 per
cent, which is far greater percent
age of excess than found in any other
state. It further indicates that
"slackers" are conspicuous in Montana
by reason of their absence. Montana
broke another record in that the num-
ber of registered men claiming ex-
emption from service was proportion
ately smaller than in any other state
in the Union.
It also appears that Montana has
probably beaten all other states in ex-
cess subscriptions to Liberty bonds.
The total is over twice the allotment,
and it is not believed that any other
state will equal that.

is confident that the campaign will
be crowned with success.
"This is one of the last appeals for
volunteers" the recruiting officer de-
clared. "Montanans ought to get in
to the Montana volunteer regiment. If
they survive the war, it is something
they will be proud of. The Montana
regiment has proved it's mettle in all

Rockies who are now at Fort Har-
rison, are kept in tents and none are

moved their tents to make room for
additional recruits and to get training
in taking down and pitching tents.
From reveille to retreat each day the
rockies are kept busy at drilling or
other activities.

Glasgow has gained nationwide
reputation as being the. most patriotic
town in the country. Its subscription
of $2OO,7OO to the Liberty Loan set
mark for a city of this size and it's
liberal donations to the Red Cross and
Army Y. NJ. C. A. funds exceeded all
expectations.
On the Fourth of July Glasgow will
prove that it is the most hospitable
town in the state. The nations birth
day has been selected as the day when
Glasgow will entertain people from all
parts of the state with a free cele-
bration.
Numerous changes have been made
in the program and several features
have been added that will make the
celebration better than ever. 1t is
to be a Farmers Picnic" and there
will be number of stunts in which
only farmers can compete.
Local business men have donated a
large sum to be used in giving the
visitors an entertainment worth while.
A record crowd is expected and the
arrangements now being made will
see that everyone who attends has a
good time.
The ball game between Nashua and
Glasgow will be a "hum-dinger.'

The celebration will be of especia
interest to the farmers of this sec
tion of the state. In this year Of
stupendous farming operations, thu
advice of experts sent out by the U
S. Department of Agriculture will bt
a big help. Then, too, the soil tiller:
of this section may gain much valu
able information by getting together
for an interchange of ideas. There are
hundreds of farmers in the country
who can undoubtedly be benefited by
the experience gained by those wht
have raised crops here for years.
The women, young ladies and "kie
dies" will also find plenty of enter
tainment, and judging from the &C
tivity of those in charge of the cele
bration, it is going to be the biggest
and best ever held here.

OWNERS OF UNLICENSED
CARS TO BE JAILED

Local authorities have been notified
to arrest all owners, chauffeurs and
motorcyclists who have not secured
licenses under the motor registration
law.
Secretary of State C. T. Stewart has
sent out instructions to vigorously en-
force the law.
No attempt has been made to en-
force the law up to the present, so as
to give everybody ample time. Now,
however, three months of grace have
been allowed and this is deemed suf-
ficient.
Over 10000 motor vehicles have
been registered, but it is believed there
are from 5000 to 10000 more unli.
censed machines in the state.
Gross receipts under the motor reg
istration law in April were ss6,94O
and in May $72,860.

GLASGOW FARM
LOAN ASSOCIATION

A National Farm Loan association
will be organized in Glasgow on Sat-
urday, June %.
A preliminary meeting was held ON
June l6, and plans were drawn up by
the twenty farmers present to elect
officers and make the final arrange
ments at the next meeting. The senti-
ment OF those present seems to be
that two associations should be
formed, one north and one south of
Glasgow, under one secretary-treasur-
er. All farmers who need some tinan-
clal assistance and want to become
members OF the Glasgow association,
should be present at the meeting at
the Odd Fellows hall, Saturday, June

WRITES LOCAL FRIEND,

Numerous local women received a
letter from Jeanette Rankin con-
gresham, this week, and from the
tone of it, Montana's representative
at Washington seeks the advice of the
local ladies on questions of importance.
The letter follows:
Dear Friend:
have been deeply concerned about
the war, just as you have been, else
l should have written you sooner.
While we are anxiously doing what
we can to help with the war, we must
not forget that the homes we are
fighting to protect and the children
who are to be future citienzs, need
the ottention of every woman. For
if our homes and our children are ne
elected at this time, we shall lose
more than we shall gain. know you
have been thinking about these
things, and will be interested in the
bulletins l am sending you.
In spite Of the fact that the women
all over the country seem to claim
me as their special representative, my
first service shall always be to you
folks out home, and want you to feel
perfectly free to call upon me when
ever I can be of the slightest service
to you.
No doubt Won have read in the ma
pers about my "red hair" and "send-
ing the fathers to war;" and other in
ventions of the eastern press. l wish
you were here to see congress work.
ing and to know the true facts.
l wish you would find few mo-
ments to write me.
Faithfully yours,
JEANETTE RANKIN.

DEATH SUMMONS
PROMINENT MAN
E. M. Kennedy, Pioneer in Milk
River Valley Succumbs
Suddenly.
had EXTENSIVE BUSINESS INTERESTS
Well known Here. Married Miss
Grace Ford and For a Time Re-
sided in the North Country.
Leaves Much Property.

E. M. Kennedy, one Of Montana's
most prominent citizens, died Wednes-
day evening at Havre, following a
sudden attack Of heart failure. APP
parently in good health, the summons
came so suddenly that it was like
bolt from the blue.
Mr.. Kennedy had been about town
greeting his friends during tie after
noon, says the Havre Daily Promoter.
He had gone home to dinner and then
came down town again in the evening.
About 9-o'clock he met neighbor and
suggested that they 60 home. They
climbed into Mr.. Kennedy's car, but
when ready to start, Mr.. Kennedy fell
forward on the wheel. All efforts to
rouse him failed, and death must have
been instantaneous.
He was a genial, friendly, COM
panionable, whole souled man, a
splendid citizen, a good friend and
the loss to the state and city and
home is one that will be keenly felt.
Deceased was born in Kansas 81
years ago on April % last. A quar-
ter of century ago he came to Mon
tana and located at Harlem where
he soon became interested in ranch
life. He worked on the Harlem ir-
rigation ditch and reclaimed thou
sands Of acres of Milk River valley
lands. He had the foresight to see
the future of these lands and acquir-
ed about $1,000 acres Of them, which
he developed into one of the best ir.
rigated ranches in the state. A
brother, Lot Kennedy, is the manager
of the ranch, and son, Everett Ken
nedy, makes his home there.
From 1908 to 1912 Mr.. Kennedy
served as county commissioner o1
Chouteau county and after its sub
division also server as one Of tn.
commissioners of Blaine county.
A little more than a year ago
while on one of his periodical visits
to California he met and welded Mis-.
Grace Ford of Los Angeles who sur
wives him as his widow, and who has
made host of friends since making
Havre her home. With her he spent
the last winter in Southern Californis
and together they. made many happ,
plans for annual winter visits to the
land of sunshine and of flowers.
Mrs. Kennedy has many friends ir
Glasgow and Valley county, having
proved up claim in the north coun
try, and at one time being teacher
in the county schools. She acted a:

FEW PROTEST INCREASE
IN DEMURRAGE RAJ

FEW PROTEST INCREASE
IN DEMURRAGE RATES
Few shippers appeared before the
state railroad commission at Helena
Saturday at the hearing on the pro-
posed increase in demurrage rates.
The railroads ask the Montana
commission to adopt the demurrage
rates put in effect by the interstate
commerce commission providing that
after free time has elapsed, the de-
murrage shall be 50 a day for the
first five days and IS day thereafter.
The present rates are 81 and 50 re-
spectively.
The Society of Equity asked that
the scope Of the hearing be broadened
to include the question of reciprocal
demurrage, involving the proposition
that the carriers would be liable on
the same rates for failure to furnish
cars requested by shippers. The COM
mission denied the request upon the
ground that the call for the hearing
did not include the matter.
The testimony offered by the rail-
roads largely centered upon increased
efficiency that would result from
higher demurrage rates; that ship
| pers would be discouraged from using
freight cars for storage purposes; and
more traffic could be hauled because
of the greater number of cars avail.

MILLION DOLLAR RAIN.

Thursday afternoon the Hon. j.
Pluvius opened his heart towards this
vicinity and soaking rain which fell,
brought joy to the farmers and hap
piness to those who were beginning to
look sideways at the mention of a
dry year.
It was a "penny-a-drop" rain, and
while the clouds soon passed over, it
had come down in such torrents that
great good will result. As a gloom
chaser and a business stimulant it
could not be surpassed, as it will put
the crops in this district in excellent
shape.

ing appeals direct to the residents.
This week had been designated by
President Wilson as Red Cross week,
and Glasgow was we'll prepared for
the drive which sought to raise funds
to care for the wounded. Posters and
window cards throughout the city
made mute appeals to local citizens to
give what they could toward the
cause.
The campaign in Glasgow has been
very successful and as but two days
remain before the campaign closes, all
citizens who have not given their "bit"
are urged to do so.
The committees who are handling
the work in the county are:

sum greater than the fifteen million
asked of it by the Red Cross War

offering to increase the amounts ap-
portioned them.
California leads the list with $3,-
25OOOO. Texas is next with $780,
900. Kansas follows with $1,600,OOO.
Four big states have promised mil
lion each-Washington, Colorado, Ok
lahoma and Nebraska. Another mil
lion will be raised by North and South
Dakota together. Iowa, with the ex-
ception of three big cities, will raise
half million. And Missouri, with
the exception of two cities, will do
the same.
Oregon has set the mark at $780,
900. Idaho guarantees $400,00O. Mon
tana is down for 100000. Arizona
and Utah will each raise quarter OF
million. New Mexico and Arkansas
have promised 100000 apiece, and
Nevada and Wyoming say they are
good for 100000 each.
The total is $15,95O, O,0O0-nearly a
million more than the west was asked
to give.
