COUNTY AGENT TO HELP
FARMERS RAISE BIG CRO]

For the purpose of stimulating in
terest in the national food raising
compaign, and to teach the farmers
of the county better and more profit
able farming methods, County Agri-
culturalist Cannon is planning an ex-
tensive campaign which will take in
the entire county.
All farmers in need of seed are
urged to report the same, and in some
communities where there is short
age of certain kind of seed, efforts
will be made to secure it.
Mr.. Cannon is planning a sys-
tematic campaign for the coming sum-
mer, and expects to make his depart
ment invaluable during harvest time
when men and teams will be sadly
needed.

cember l.. Notwithstanding this lack
of funds the members of the State
Hail Insurance board are making the
endeavor to put the law into opera
tion. 1t is up to the farmers of the
state to decide whether the law can
be made success.
IF you favor the state writing your
hail insurance at actual cost prove it
by telling your neighbors of the plan
and by making application to your
county assessor for hail insurance.
Blanks will be furnished by county
assessors"

The Glasgow Deaconess hospital
was built by a syndicate in 1910 and
was completed in April 1911. AS the
syndicate was unable to equip the
hospital with the necessary furnish.
ings and nurses, it stood vacant until
fall.
In August of that year, committee
asked the North Montana conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church tt

DODGE DEALERS TO
BUILD new GARAGE
Mckinney Fuller Motor Co., to
Erect Modern Automobile
Building Here

The McKinney-Fuller Motor Co.,
made arrangements this week for the
construction of a modern garage
building on the corner of Third street
and Second avenue south.
Both members of the firm were in
the city this week and purchased the
lots and entered into negotiations for
the construction of the building,
which it is understood will be built
by local contractor. The building
will be 20 by 130 feet, embodying all
the latest ideas in garage construc-
ton, and will have a brick front with
large display windows. The con-
struction work will commence as soon
as it is possible to get the men and
materials on the ground.
The McKinney-Fuller Motor Co., is
one of the largest automobile con-
Germs in the northwest. They have
branches from Grand Forks to Glas-
gov and handle the Dodge Brothers
car and the Smith h-Form-A-T Truck.
Some idea of the immensity of their
business may be gained from the fact
that they will handle and dispose of
1900 Dodge cars this season.
The local branch of the firm, under
the capable management of E. A. Ed
berg, has proven one of the best agen-
cies in the organization. The demand
for Dodge cars has been such that the
supply on hand here was always ex-
hausted. Mr.. Edberg became stock
holder in the company with the erec-
tion of the garage, and will have
charge of all business in this terri
tory. The garage will, when COM
pleted, be completing link in the
line of Dodge service stations through
North Dakota and Eastern Montana,
and will enable Dodge owners to get
service that only a big organization is
in a position to give.

FIRST BABY WEEK
PROVESSUCCESS
GlasgOw's Better Babies Contest
Proves Very Successful
Child Welfare Object.
RESULTS WILL PROVE, BENEFICIAL
Demonstrations On Care and Raising
of Babies Given Daily-Lecture
At the Orpheum Theater
This Afternoon

Glasgow's Baby Week will come to
a close this afternoon. 1t was the
first in the history of the city, and
that it was immensely successful is
attested by the enthusiasm displayed
by the mothers, and those directly in
terested in the work that has been
accomplished.
The contest commenced on Tuesday
afternoon, examinations being made
in the fire hall. The babies were ex-
amined by local physicians and any
defects or ailments were explained by
the doctors and remedies suggested.
A graduate nurse was also in at
tendance and gave valuable advice on
subjects of interest to every mother,
on the care of babies.
Owing to the illness of DR.. Hoyt,
Doctors Layton and Simpkins divided
the work of examining the babies,
DR.. Layton making the examinations
on Tuesday and for one hour on
Wednesday,, and DR.. Simpkins offici-
ating the remainder of Wednesday
and on Thursday afternoon.
Twenty-six babies were registered
and examined, and while the outcome
of the examinations has not been
announced, those in charge are very
we'll satisfied with the contest.
A free lecture will be given at the
Orpheum theater this afternoon anc
all interested in baby welfare are
urged to attend.

MUST REGISTER FOR
SELECTIVE DRAFT
Every Man in the United States
Will Be Forced to Register
With County officials

There are to be no "slackers" when
Uncle Sam gets busy with his scheme
to raise big army. Under the new
army bill, all men in the United
States are to be registered, and a
regular day will be fixed for the U.
S. government when every male citi-
zen will be required to appear at the
designated place and give his name
age, address and other data.
City, county and state authorities
will be asked to cooperate in making
up the local and state quotas of men
for the new "selective draft" army.
Men who fail to register will not
escape service, however. A penalty
will be fixed for failure to register or
for giving false information. Officials
will have the poll and tax lists to GO
by. Eligibles not on the poll list will
be listed by means not yet an
nounced.
The sheriff in each county will have
the authority to compel men to regis
ter and he will be authorized to pick
up and hold such men until it is
ascertained whether or not they have
registered at some other point.
Those within the prescribed age
will be listed, those exempt because
of dependent families or because of
valuable service already being per.
formed, will be stricken off and the
selective draft made from the remain
ing list.
Under the new plan, Sheriff C. W.
Powell would be the registering Off
GER in this county, and Clerk of Court
Oscar Cutting would be one of the
officials to assist in making the draft

WOULD BE- BAD
Man MEETS DEATH
John Benson Attempts ''Wild
West" Stunt At Peerless.
Gets His Bluff Called
DIES FROM RESULT OF SHOOTING
Claude Phillips, Pool Hall Proprietor,
Backs Up Argument With Lead.
Benson Taken to Scobey
Phillips Held Here.

The "wild and woody" west, with
its famous and notorius "bad men,"
has passed into history. These latter
exist now only in motion pictures, but
every once in a while some "tender-
foot" stirred by the tales of former
desperadoes of the plains, attempts to
pursue their tactics in this latter day
of peace and sobriety.
Sunday afternoon, a little tragedy
was enacted in the pool hall at Peer
less, a little town in the northeastern
part Of the county. John Benson, a
homesteader, and the proprietor of
the pool hall, Claude Phillips, took the
leading roles, and the outcome was
that Benson was shot, causing his
death shortly afterwards, and Phillips
is now in the custody of the county
authorities.
Benson evidently thought he was a
"bad" man, according to the informa-
tion gathered by Sheriff Powell from
people in the vicinity. He was looked
upon as dangerous character and
had several times threatened to oblit-
crate all who stood in his way. About
two weeks ago he made the people
in the town scatter for cover, when
he started on rampage with an axe.
Sunday, Benson went to Peerless on
horseback. The town was evidently
too tame for him, so he rode the horse
into the pool hall. He was ordered
out by Phillips, the proprietor, but
refused to go, and dared anyone to
start something. Benson had been
able to bluff some people, but in Phil
lips he struck the wrong man, for the
latter backed up his arguments with
a gun and Benson, shot through the
lower part of the body, gave up all
notions of shooting up the place."
I The wounded man was taken to
Scobey in an automobile, Phillips 60
ing along and assisting in every pos
sible manner. The efforts to save
Benson were unavailing, and he died
shortly after reaching Scobey. Phil
lips gave himself up to the authorities
at Scobey, who notified Sheriff Powell.
County Attorney Borton and Sheriff
Powell went up to Scobey and from
there over to Peerless to get the evil
dence of witnesses. Phillips is being
held in the county Jail here.
The coroner's inquest will be held
in Sheridan county, as the death oc-
Cured there.

FREE DISTRIBUTION OF OLD
MAGAZINES TO FARMERS

The Chamber Of Commerce and
Agriculture is distributing many old
magazines among farmers and num-
bers of people in Glasgow. The Sec
retary advises that he still has large
number on hand which are all good,
first-class, and best kind of magazines
published, and are issues of only
three or four months old. When you
come to town to do your shopping, call
at the Chamber Of Commerce and Ag-
riculture rooms and take home some
good reading matter, which you are
welcome to. The Offices of the club
are in the Rumble building.

JOHN CHIRGWIN,
Field Secretary.

Glasgow will have one Of the larg-
est and best equipped hospitals in the
northwest, if the campaign to raise
funds for larger building continues
at the same rate that has marked it's
progress during the first few days.
While the present hospital is noted
as one of the best institutions of its
kind in the state, the building is far
too small to accommodate the patients
who come here from all parts of Mon
tana. When the hospital was built
in 1910, it was one of the most needed
improvements in this part of the
country, and it has done it's share to
make Glasgow the largest and fastest
growing city in northeastern Montana.
The tremendous growth of the hos
pital has made it absolutely neces-
sary for an addition to be built, and
with this purpose in view, the Dea-
connesses have secured the services
of John Chirgwin, field secretary oc
the Montana Deaconess school, to
conduct campaign to raise the nee
essary funds.
The result of the subscriptions the
first few days have been very graft
flying. The list of donors published
above are only those which were Sc
cured before the paper went to press,
and it has been considerably augment
ed by now. The campaign is to be
a thorough one and those in charge
expect to have no trouble in raising

FIND BODY OF YOUNG
FRENCH LAD IN CREEK
Missing Since Apri l3, Searchers
Find Corpse in Willow Creek
Was Newcomer Here

Adrien Antchagno, a young French
lad of 18 years, came over to this
country in March to seek his fortune
and join his brothers, who were work.
ing for John Etchart, one of the
prominent sheep raisers in this part
of the state. He came to Glasgow
first, and being anxious to get out to
the sheep ranch to see his brothers
and commence work, he started for
the Etchart ranch on Willow creek
on April 3. He went on horseback
and was given explicit instructions
about the road and stopping places.
He reached Collins road house on the
night of the third, and left there in
the morning.
But instead of taking the trail that
lay before him, he turned back and
tried to cross Willow creek. Here he
must have broken through the ice,
and perished.
AS they days passed and the young
French boy did not arrive at the
camp, the anxiety of his brothers and
employer reached the point where
they sent out word to all the ranchers
in the vicinity to keep lookout for
him. Men were sent out to ride the
country, but no trace of the body was
found until Tuesday, when one of
Etchart's men found the corpse in
Willow creek. There was no trace
of the horse.
The body was brought in Wednes-
day and funeral services were held
on Thursday, with interment in the
local cemetery.

STATE HAIL INSURANCE
NOW AVAILABLE


Helena, May 3.-The state board of
hail insurance, which met and orga-
nized last week in accordance with
the provisions of the bill passed at the
last session Of the legislature, has is
sued the following concerning the op-
Grafton Of the law, addressed "To the
Farmers of Montana:
The Fiftieth Legislative Assembly,
by the enactment of senate bill No. 16,
created state board of hail insur-
ance. Under the provisions of this
act Governor Stewart appointed E. K.
Bowman of Hardin, and P. J.. Ander-
son of Conrad as members of the
board, the other two members being
William Keating, state auditor, and
Charles D. Greenfield, commissioner of
agriculture and publicity. 1t is the
belief of the members of the board if
the farmers of Montana will avail
themselves of the provisions of the
law it can be put into successful op-
Grafton.
"The state board of hail insurance
will recommend levy, the maximum
of which under the law may be 60
cents an acre on grain crops and 25
cents an acre on hay crops, to pay
the losses incurred by those who have
insured their crops under the state
law: Insurance may be taken out on
wheat, oats, flax, corn, barley, rye,
speltz, alfalfa, timothy, clover and
buckwheat. The amount of insurance
to be paid in case of loss will be a
maximum of $1,000 on grain crops
and $500 on hay crops. All the money
received by the board in premiums
will be used in paying losses, less the
expense of carrying on the business
of the board and appraising the dam
ages. Damages will be appraised by
county appraisers who will receive
$500 day and expenses whenever
engaged in the work. Applications
for insurance are received by county
assessors, and must be filed before
June /. Premiums are collected by
county treasurers when other taxes
are collected in November
"The essential features of the law
are outlined in the above. The low
rate in the opinion of the members
of the board will be so attractive to
the farmers as to attract patronage
which will insure sufficient funds to
pay all losses. This opinion is based
on the experience of the State Hail
Insurance department of North Da-
kota, as reported by the chairman of
that board. The North Dakota State
Hail Insurance department collects 80
cents an acre on grain crops and has
paid an average of $500 an acre for
total loss, partial losses being paid in
proportion to the per cent of the crop
remaining. It is fair to assume that
under the Montana law the State
Board of Hail insurance can pay twice
as much in proportion as is paid under
a similar law in North Dakota, or
$10.40 an acre, as the Montana board
may collect 60 cents per acre instead
of 80 cents per acre.
"The State Hail Insurance law does
not carry any appropriation, there
fore no funds are available until De-
