THE RAG DOLL"

A musical play entitled 1.-THE Rag
DOLL" under the direction of Mrs.
Memminger-Keith, to be given Dec.
ID at the Orpheum, promises to be
treat for the people of Glasgow.
Mrs. Keith is the author of the
play, and she needs no introduction to
the general public, as her ability as a
manager and musical director has long
been recognized.
About seven years ago it will be
remembered Mrs. Keith wrote and pre-
sented Japanese play entitled "Yen
How" which was enthusiastically re-
ceived, and at different times, she has
graciously donated her services to in
creasing the library funds, assisting
church organizations and on various
other occasions. She now offers her
services to the Red Cross, and for the
benefit of that organization has writ
ten and will present this play.
1t is somewhat on the nature of
the play written by H. A. Hatch, en-
titled, "Toyland." 1t introduces popu-
lar songs, and will utilize the best To-
cal talent among the young people.
"The Rag DOLL" is story dealing
with the nursery avorites-beautifu
wax dolls, dude dolls, etc. A rag doll,
ugly and neglected, longs for the love
of little tin soldier Her love is not
reciprocated. In her despair she
thinks if she could only become beau
tiful all would be different. The
Fairy Queen appears and works the
magic spell, with the aid of the brown
les flour little tots). But dawn comes
before the soldiers arrive. There is
dainty climax, the dolls are shy, a
few once more fall asleep and the
brownies put the nursery back in order
just as the clock chimes six.
On orchestra will add greatly to
the evenings program.

on Thanksgiving day. The conflict
will be staged on the north side
grounds, and 3 o'clock is the time
named for the starting whistle.
The All Stars have been practising
diligently for the past week and have
perfected series of shifts and plays
with which they expect to sweep the
high school players off their feet.
However, the high school boys have
not been idle and they are determined
to make real "has-beens' out of their
opponents.

X. OF p. ENTERTAINS

At Il splendid banquet, the Knights
of Pythias entertained the members of
the local order, their wives and sweet
hearts in the Castle hall Thursday
evening.
Shortly after 7 o'clock the guests
were seated at the banquet tables, and
enjoyed bounteous feast, which had
been prepared by members of the
lodge.
After the banquet a fine program
brought the evening to a successful
conclusion. Vocal and instrumental
solos, interspersed with impromptu
talks by some of the members made
the occasion a highly enjoyable one.
The X. of P. lodge is rapidly COM
ing to the front as one of the leading
organizations of the city, and the
social event of last evening will
probably be often repeated.

INVESTIGATING BANKERS
INSURANCE COMPANY

Representatives of the insurance de-
partments of North and South Dakota
and Montana are meeting in Helena
this week to conduct joint investiga-
tion into the affairs of the Bankers
Insurance company.
Until preliminary investigation is
started, the examiners will not be in
position to know how thorough an
examination must be made, or how
long will be required in making it.
The only definite fact known now,
however, according to these state Of
ficials, is that there is no likelihood
of the assets of the company being
sufficient to cover it's losses.

HOUSEHOLDERS' ATTENTION

Have you given serious considera-
tion to the following facts?
There is every indication of coal
shortage in Montana the coming Win
ter.
1t is worth while to examine your
house and overhaul your heating
equipment. Weather strips, double
windows, pipe coverings, clean flues
and chimneys and tight fittings in
ash pits, doors, dampers and furnace
will all pay. Damper control is one
of the chief secrets of economical
heating. Clean heating surfaces are
most essential, as SCOT is a poorer con-
duct0r of heat than asbestos.
Care, attention and taking pains
will be the greatest factor in saving
domestic coal. Will you assist US in
cutting down your consumption in
every way possible?

0PHEIh BUSINESS MEN
WANT OLD ADJUSTMENTS
Petition County Attorney to
Remove Ban On Games,
But Are Denied.

It's going to be long, cold and
dreary winter at Opheim. The resi-
dents of that prosperous inland town
will have nothing to do on the bleak,
dreary evenings, but to hug the base
burners and listen to tales of the
time not far distant when the town
was wide open and in it's glory. Their
last hope of reviving one of their
chief indoor sports has been "nipped
in the bud," but only after a last
desperate effort, as the following pc
tition will show:
Petition.
The signers of this petition do re-
specially represent to Carl D. Borton,
our county attorney, that they are
residents of the town of Opheim, and
that their residence is bona fide.
That, for the purpose of providing
a form of amusement during the COM
ing winter they desire to be allowed
to participate in card games, and that
no restrictions be placed about or
over this form of amusement.
Your petitioners do further re-
spectfully represent that it is their
best and sincere judgment that the
prohibitions of this form of amuse-
ment in Opheim, is not demanded,
warranted or justified for the welfare
of the town or it's citizens.

Postmaster Herring has issued a
warning to all persons who intend to
send boxes to soldiers with the Ameri-

ages and boxes which have been taken
to the postoffA, FOR mailing have not
conformed to the rules of the de-

The boxes must first be taken to
the postoffice for inspection and

sealed and stamped there. Every
package weighing over seven pounds
must be packed in wooden box, with
the top screwed on or we'll strapped.

FOR RED CROSS FUNDS
In COUNTY STARTS NEXT WEEK
Every Patriotic Citizen Urged to Contribute His Share
Towards the Cause. Thousands of Cards Distrib-
uted Throughout County. Big Sum Needed.

Tuesday, November 27, is Red
Cross day in Valley county. On that
date, thorough and systematic can.
vass will be made in every communi-
to to solicit subscriptions for the Red
Cross chapters in this county.
The work of preparing for the big
"drive" has been going on for the
past week, and committees have Wis
tied practically every town in the
county to make arrangements, and
have everything in readiness.
The war situation at the present
time is very serious one, and it is
up to the people at home to provide
the money necessary to care for the
wounded, and in other ways look
after the interests of sour Boys" in
France. Every person in the county
will be asked to contribute a certain
sum each month towards the Red
Cross fund. Every dollar that is
raised may mean the life of soldier
saved, for without material, supplies,
buildings and equipment the Red
Cross will be helpless. An enormous
amount is needed, and it remains for
every American to "do his bit" by
giving small amount of his monthly
earnings to a cause that is the most
, humane in the world.
Committees will approach you on
Tuesday and hand you card to sign.
Show them that you have the true
American spirit when you get it, and
fill in as large amount as you can af-
ford.
In case there should be some who
are missed in the canvass, they can
cut out the following pledge, fill ng in
