Display of Agricultural Products
At State Fair At Helena
Wins Many Premiums.
OVER FORTY AWARDS ARE SECURED
Vegetables and Grain Chief Among
Premium Winners. Valley County
Is Well Represented At
Big Exposition.

That Valley county is we'll repre-
sented at the state fair at Helena and
is holding it's own as a premium win
ner, is demonstrated by the telegram
received yesterday from L. E. Jones,
secretary of the local Chamber of
Commerce and agriculture.
The telegram contained the good
news that Valley county was leading
in awards on dry land products with
a total of Al premiums. Of these 20
were firsts, IA seconds and Z thirds.
The premiums were won mostly on
vegetables, although some of the
grain came in for special mention. Two
first prizes and one second prize is
Valley county's record for it's corn
display. Considering the unfavorable
conditions here this year, these prizes
are all the more remarkable.
In the threshed grain division, H.
B. Keagy of Glasgow, won third
prize on Marquis spring wheat and
also a second prize for a sheaf of
the same kind of grain.

DRAFTED MEN WILL
FILL GAPS IN GUARD
Men From National Army Will
Be Taken to Fill National
Guard Regiments.

There is little doubt now that a
large deficiency of men will be shown
when the first increment of the ma
tional army, 687,OO0 men, has been
mobilized.
Seventeen national guard divi-
sions must be brought up to war
strength and several special serv-
ice forces organized out of this
reserve, so the number of drafted
men remaining at the cantonments
hardly will be sufficient to organize
the 16 national army divisions at a
full strength basis. Whether incom-
plete divisions will be formed or a
call for more men issued has not been
indicated.
Secretary Bakers states that def
mite figures as to the number of ma
tional army men it would be neces-
sary to transfer to the national
guard were not available. Not only
are these divisions being mobilized
for the first time, but in the midst
of that mobilization the whole fabric
of the infantry army is being reor-
ganized on the new trench warfare
plan.
The fighting strength Of the new
division is now fixed At 27,500 men.
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1917-09-28

The II guard divisions on that basis
will have a total strength of 438, 800
men. The guard probably brought
into the federal service a total of not
more than 100000 men, possibly less.
1t will take, therefore, at least 137,-
900 national army men to fill up the
guard divisions. Another 100000 of
the national army will go to the air
service and certainly many more to
other special services. That would
not leave more than 25O,OOO men to
form the 16 national army divisions,
which should have an aggregate
war strength of $4,000.
Secretary Baker pointed out some
of the difficulties that attend the
reorganization of the national guard
for war purposes. While the lodi
vision plan for the guard, since ex-
tended to II with the organization of
the 42nd or rainbow" division, is an
old one, the whole fabric of the di-
visions has been changed. With the
adoption of the European regimental
and company standard, every guard
regiment, which was to be included
in a division, had to be expanded
Regiments and parts of regiments
are being consolidated to furnish
the $500 men regimental units now
desired.

ANOTHER OFFICERS
TRAINING CAMP

1hAlNlNG CAMP
A third series of officers training
camps will be opened by the war de-
partment early in January. Candi-
dates for commissions, Adjutant Gen.
eral Mccain has announced, will be
selected from enlisted men of the
regular army or those called to the
colors under the selective draft law,
no applications from civilians being
considered.
None of the training camp sites
now being utilized will be used for
the next series it is said, although
no intimation of the location of the
camps has been given. It is prob
able that following the system used
in selecting national army canton
ments, the majority of the camps will
be situated in the south in order to
escape the rigors of a northern Win
ter.
The camps will afford men of the
national army an opportunity to win
commissions, and it is probable that
the drafted men will be heavily rep
resented. Secretary Baker recently
announced that every chance would
be offered national army men to rise
from the ranks.
Establishment of the third series of
camps is part of a general policy Of

HAY MEETING SATURDAY

A meeting of the farmers of the
county will be held at 2:30 p. m. on
Saturday, September 20, at the rooms
of the Chamber of Commerce and
agriculture, for the purpose of discuss
ing the matter of purchasing hay.
There are hundreds of farmers in
the county who will probably be
short of hay and feed and it is neces-
sary that this shortage be adjusted at
this meeting.
The Chamber of Commerce and
agriculture have been active to relieve
the situation and were instrumental in
securing special rates from the Great
Northern. The club is now busy To-
eating cheap hay which can be bought
by Valley county farmers.
Every farmer in the county who is
interested is invited to attend the
meeting.

TWO EXEMPTED MEN
PREFER ARMY LIFE

Some of the northern Montana boys
who were exempted from service by
the district board have had their fight
ing blood aroused and have waived
the privilege of staying with their
home duties. The following news item,
gives two instances of this kind:
Alfred M. Berg, a sturdy young
farmer from Galata, 26 years of age,
and with punch in either hand, drift
ed into the district exemption board
room this morning and quietly handed
in his certificate of discharge from
service, previously granted by the ex-
emption board on industrial grounds.
Mr.. Berg explained that when he had
asked for exemption it had been be-
cause of his having a considerable
amount of stock, etc., upon his ranch
which he thought he could not dis
pose of; since that time he had sold
all of the stock and rented the ranch
and now desired to go to the front
to fight for his country.
~ want, to thank you on behalf of
the board and to express to you our
gratitude because of your action"
said Chairman Cowley.
II want to fight for the flag be-
cause it needs me-" said the young
Galata farmer, "and l would sooner
fight the Germans than anyone else.
anyhow, so no one owes me any
thanks" and he walked out with per-
mission to go to the front and fight
for Old Glory.
Berg is the second man to surrender
his certificate before the district
board here, and asked to be certified
up for war. The other being Cornell
ius H. White of Great Falls, who had
been exempted from service Septem-
ber II on industrial grounds, being
an employe of the Great Northern
railway. Mr.. White came in yester-
day afternoon and asked that he be
certified for service, as he felt that
his place was at the front and that
he could do more good there than by
firing an engine. White was given a
letter of commentator from the
board to the commander of the camp
at American Lake, and left with the
thanks and handshakes of the exemp-
ton board.

SUGAR MAY DROP

Reduction of sugar prices about one
cent per pound was apparently as
sured when the beet sugar raisers
agreed with the food administration
to sell to wholesalers at seaboard re-
fining points for 71s cents a pound
maximum, instead of the prevailing
price of 8 4/1O cents. Retail prices
ordinarily would be from u cent to
a cents higher.
The prices will be effective in west
ern sections of the country, where
sugar beets are raised, about Oct. l,
and in the eastern sections about two
weeks later.
