Mr.. S. H. Hill,

Dear Mr.. Hill:
In compliance with your request for
funds for Red Cross, am handing YOU
herewith check for fifty dollars, the
amount requested.
/ found we had oversubscribed the
amount, consequently have $500 to en-
close instead OF fifty. We hope YOU
will find place for the extra five spot.
The first darkey l solicited, l only
asked for SOC, and after having ex-
planned the use to which the money is
to be put, he replied Gym, I reckon |
amt no fifty cents man, / wants to give
at leas dollar. His position fixed
the donation at one dollar per: no one
was willing to be- tail-ender. The.
name of this darkey is Peter Newson.
and while his skin is a fine logwood
color, his heart is in the right place and
his example should make some of the
white folks feel very small when they
compare their donation or failure to do
nate anything, to the contribution of
this liberal old darkey.
Regretting our inability to give more,
and hoping your collections will not fall
below your allotment, | am,
Very Truly Yours,

such a pronounced success as the
charming little French girl in 1.-THE

Spirit Of Romance" a whimsical story
by George Hopkins, prepared for the
screen by Adele Harris.
Since her first appearance nj Pal
las-Paramaunt pictures, Miss Martin
has made wonderful success. AT the
little girl Of the streets in s'The Right
Direction she endeared herself to the
public, and greatly increased her pop

who suddenly finds herself an heir
ess, she has a role which gives her
full scope to display her splendid dra-
matte ability.
''The Spirit Of Romance" has to do
with a little girl who is a drudge nj
an antique shop, presided over by a
testy old man.
Miss Martin is first seen as the
drudge, but later blossoms forth in an
array of beautiful and stylish frocks
and gowns. A cast of unusual excel
lence supports her, including Herbert

increase their field army to nearly
five and three quarter millions and
to undertake a serious offensive with
nearly one million men. The former
course may stave off defeat for some
months and give opportunity for de-
velopments detrimental to the En-
tente cause; but the latter alternative
is more likely to lead to decisive re-
suits and is more in conformity with
the German spirit and theory of war.
Let us assume, then, that the Ger
mans will adopt the latter course.
German Strength Today
BY the middle of 1916 the Germans
had managed to field 10 divisions,
each of which comprised four infan-
try regiments of three battalions
each, but when the Austrians came to
such terrible grief in the autumn of
1916 and the intervention of Ruman-
ia became imminent the Germans met
the situation by resorting to a strict
defensive on all their existing fronts
and withdrew regiment of three bat
talions from each Of some hundred
of their existing divisions. from which
they proceeded to form rather more
than thirty new divisions Of three reg
iments each, some of which were en-
ployed against Rumanians.
These operations, as we know, car
ried the Germanic allies across Wal
Iachia, until they came to a standstill
on what we may call the Zine of Ser
eth'-rrainly, we note, because of
the destruction Of the Russian and
Rumanian munitions at Archangel.
Thus the Germanic conquest of
WaIlacha might we'll be described as
the victory of Archangel. We may
now assume that the Germans will
complete the process Of forming new
divisions out Of old ones by reducing
the infantry of all the original ITO
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-03-26

divisions to three regiments, by which
means they will be able to raise tba
| number of their divisions to z27 d.
visions each of three infantry regi-
| ments. They may then use the men
hitherto in reserve partly to provide
the personnel of the artillery and
other services required for the new d.
visions and partly to increase the in
fantry in each of the 227 divisions we
may expect them to form.
A Collapse in Six Months
Hitherto the Germans have allotted
about two-thirds of their divisions to
the western front and dozen or so
to the Rumanian and Balkan fronts,
but by denuding these fronts to dan
ger point they should be able to find
a force of nearly 100000 men for a
tremendous attack which the cognos
cent? assure US will be made on the
western front
Assuming. then, that our Allies on
the other fronts succeed In noIalng
up some sixty or seventy German Ill
visions in the future, as they have
done in the past, we should have to
deal with at least $50 German divi-
sions, or over 100000 men, on the
western front; and we must not con-
ceal from ourselves that the crash
will be tremendous, the strain terrific,
and that the enemy may score some
initial advantages.
Meanwhile, the German army will
begin to wilt away, whereas the
French, who are less exhausted than
the Germans, and the British, who
have practically unlimited reserves,
should be able to maintain their pres
ent strength in the field. If, then, the
Allies can hold up the Germans for
three months the next three months
should see the enemy collanSa-

YOUNG DESPERATE
FINALLY GIVES UP
Gordon FOlkestad Surrenders to
Authorities After Being
Wounded BY Sheriff.

Gordon Folkestad, the young man
who escaped from a Richland county
deputy sheriff last week, was cap
tured last week at Lambert.
Friday night Sheriff Fred Sullivan
directed posse which secured the
country about Richey and Lambert
He came upon lone rider and COM
manded him to halt, but instead of
complying, the rider whipped UP his
horse and rode away. Sullivan fired
at him and from the evidences of
blood he realized that he had shot
either the horse or the rider.
1t developed that the lone rider was
Folkestad and that the sheriff's bullet
sturck him. The wound evidently be.
came so painful that it was necessary
for him to go to Lambert for medical
relief.
Sunday morning, accompanied by
his father and DR.. Geo. E. Armour of
Lambert, he arrived in Sidney and
gave himself up to the authorities.
The wound was not serious.
The capture of young Folkestad and
the events leading up to it, read like
a chapter from western thriller, but
it looks now as though the offender
would have to repent behind prison
bars for his misdeeds.

Pierson is under arrest in a hospital

an operation for appendicitis. Sheriff
Bennett of Sheridan county followed
the couple and made the arrests.
AS there is no women's ward in the
Sheridan county Jail, Mrs. Pierson
will be held here until she is taken to
Plentywood for trial.
According to reports Mrs. Pierson
has made statement which practi.
cally amounts to a confession.
The crime for which the Persons
will be tried is one of the most fiend-
ish in the history of the two counties.

Want EXHIBITS
FOR STATE FAIR
Valley County to Send Big Dis
play to Fall Exhibition At
Helena. Products Needed.
FARMERS ARE URGED TO COOPERATE
Material for Exhibit Already Being
Collected. Everything Should Be
Here BY September II. Ex-
pect Good Results.

Valley county will have one of the
best exhibits at the state fair it has
ever had, if the efforts of c. A. Col
Inns and Secretary L. E. Jones count
for anything.
Determined that this county is 60
ing to make the best showing it has
ever made, despite conditions, these
two men have been securing the coun-
ty for products to make up their dis
play. That they are succeeding in
collecting a variety of first class pro-
ducts is evidenced by the enthusiasm
which they have been showing over
their results to date.
Many of the farmers in the county
have products which they may not
think measure up to prize winning
standards, but they are often mis-
taken. This is a poor grain year in
Montana, and Valley county will COM
pete on an equal footing with all the
other counties. If this county can

a year, it will make name for itself
that cannot be overcome.
Any farmer who has anything that
is of good quality should notify Mr..
Collins or Mr.. Jones at the Glasgow
Chamber of Commerce. If necessary
they will even call and collect the
products, fix them up for the display
and send them to the fair. There
they will be entered under the grow
er's name, and if they win any prizes,
they will revert to the man who raised
them.
However, all farmers who are inter-
ested, should see that they have their
exhibits in Glasgow by September II
at the very latest. They will not only
be advertising the county, their farm
and their abilities as farmers, but
they will stand good chow of carry.
ing off some mighty fine prizes.
