The above telegram arrived yester-
day from L. E. Jones, who.ha charge
of the Valley county booth at the
state fair this week. Valley county
evidently has place in the sun and,
despite the drouth, is winning honors
right and left. Here's what the Hele-
ma papers say about us:
"Quite a number of folks have the
idea because Valley county was a
strong contender for state aid in get
ting in it's crops and later reported
that drouth had cleaned up a lot of
farmers, that it wouldn't have much
of an exhibit. But that's where said
public was 'gyped.'

about everything good to eat that is
imaginable. To give complete list
of the products of the soil exhibited
would require going through seed

other varieties of vegetables beyond
the ken of the ordinary individual.
"The booth is in charge of L. E.
Jones, secretary Of the Glasgow Com,
mercial club and C. H. Richardson of
Glasgow. They declare the large and
fine display is the evidence of the in
terest the people of Valley county
have in the state fair and the state
as whole. The exhibit is arranged
in an artistic way to. show the variety
Of the roots and vegetables to the best
advantage.
"The showing of the county is quite
remarkable, considering that the coun-
ty was very dry during the early sea-
son. During August, however, over
Az inches of rain fell. This helped
the grain yield as we'll as the vege-
table crop. A lot of grain, thought
to be entirely ruined, is now threshing
from 10 to IL bushels per acre. North
Of Glasgow, around Opheim and Glen
tana, the yields are from 10 to 20
bushels.
"The quality of the grain is of the
best. The wheat is plump and hard
and will grade as good as any in the
building. The corn shown is of good
quality, and is mature. 1t is mostly
Of the white flint variety.
"The unique vegetables shown are
the black radishes, and the Norway
potatoes. These potatoes were grown
from seed brought from Norway last
spring. They are Of deep yellow COL
or. The black radish is of good size
and appears the same as any other
radish, except it's black color. Stock
of sugar cane grown in Valley is also
shown, which measures over five feet
in height and is we'll matured. There
are three heads of cabbage in the ex-
hibit that weigh 25 pounds each and
measure about one and one-half feet
across. All of these were grown on
dry land.
"Valley county has demonstrated
that it can grow sugar beets. There
are about Is entries of sugar beets
that have been grown this year. They
are of large size, showing that the
county is well suited to their culture
"Mrr. Jones contends that when the
Milk river project is developed in
Valley county that the display sent
annually to the fair will demonstrate
that Valley is one of the best agricul-
tural counties of the state."- ."-Montana

that no official word of Ben's death
had been received. He advised that
they were cabling to France for con-
firmation or contradiction of the re-
port, but as it takes several days for
a message to cross the Atlantic at
this time, no word has as yet been
received.
Ben enlisted many months ago in
the marine corps and before going to
war was employed at the Orpheum
theater. Glasgow people are waiting
anxiously for news of this we'll

news does come it will be of such a
nature as to cause rejoicing to his

 LETTERS TO EDITOR
Conducting Our Poorhouses

To the Editor Of The Age-Heralu. wish to voice a protest which,
 am sure. is in the heart of every
 thinking man and woman in the state
 There is a custom in our country which
 is a survival of the middle ages.
 Sometime ago the contract for the
 keeping of the poorhouse was adver-
 tised in this county, the contract go-
 ing to the lowest bidder. The con-
 tract was let at $7.50 per head per
 month Out of this must come food. clothes, medicine and incidentals, and
 the fee of the keeper. I mean no cen
 sure to the keeper. He is doing his
 best under the existing circumstances.
 It is against the present legal ar"
 rangement I protest
 How much real food can be bought
 for $7.50? How much warmth? How
 comfortable clothes? Go out and spend
 s7.50 in day on necessities and see
 how far it will go. Do the unfortu-
 nate, the sick. the helpless and the
 idiots need less than more fortunate people?
 Rather more.
 It will be said that the amount of
 s75o is supplemented by the produce from the county farm, but l ask you to see that farm in your minds eye, and imagine how much work can be
 done by men and women who, through illness or age or idocy. are unable to
 support themselves. But outside help is hired when necessary" some say Yes and paid for out of that $7.50. I do not believe in tearing down where you do not rebuild. and so, in lieu of the arrangement in force to- day. a commission might be formed in each county to determine reason able amount per head to be spent on the inmates with a salary for the keeper and put the amount in the tax budget When apportioned all over the county, it would not make an ap- preciable difference, but if it did, we should be willing to support it. This plea lacks the romantic haze which distance lends to Belgiums need but it is no less real, though they have no one in authority to pre- sent their plea for them. Therefore it should be the more on the hearts
 of the common people.
 There will be a few who will close their consciences and say "Oh they do very well out there at the poor house" To these I will say, Just put yourself in an inmates place on cold December day.
 Let's do something. Yours very truly, l. C. O'NEiLL. Greensboro. Ala, April 1e, 1918.

Mechanics Resent Insulting Remark About the Service Flag at

Insulting remarks made in connec- tion with a service flag floating in Boyles window came near to costing the life of F. w.

counter attack to recapture it. and the French have, begun d savage attack on the heights. If the Germans continue to hold it, and either consolidate their lines or push on, the allies will be at a great disadvantage in future engage ments.
 The latest reports from the scene of the battle are that the Germans are at tacking on a line from La Ciytte to the Ypres- Confines canal. La Clytte is about a mile and a half north of Kennel hill and is six and half miles west of the Ypres-Comines canal. which runs almost due south from Ypres.
 The evident purpose of this attack is to roll up the allied position south of Ypres and force a retirement from that war-tortured town. The position of the Germans is such that only the sternest defense will avail to check their threat ening advance.
 At other points along the battle line the Germans have made important gains. At villers- Bretonneux the British have held their lines and completed the work of clearing out the last German positions on the ground held before the German attack Wednesday, but Hangard is apparently still in German hands and the Teutons have forged ahead just to the north of this village and are reported to have launched attacks on the town af Cachy, without however, having occupied the place.
 Farther south. immediately north of Castel, the Germans have penetrated the village of Hailles and are in possession of Hill S2, south of the village. The French have counter attacked on this front and regained ground. At no other points has the enemy ad- vanced, although bitter fighting has been going on in many sectors in both the Somme. and Armenteires battle areas There has been artillery duels at various points along the French front to the south of the Somme. as well as positions further south. Only the usual patrol en- agreements have been reported from the Italian front.

Bessemer, April 26.-(Special)--A grand patriotic rally was held in this city this afternoon The downtown section of the city was decorated in national flags; also the flags of the allies. A huge platform was built in the street on the corner of Second avenue and Nineteenth street, upon which appeared several young ladies representing the countries who are at war with Germany. They were: Miss Mamie Joe Reid as Liberty, Miss Vir- ginia Williamson as France. Miss Vernon Hayes as England. Miss Mary Everett as Italy. Miss Eugenia Cray las Belgium, Miss Imogene Maxwell as Japan. A number of patriotic sIrs were rendered by the Boys Industrial School band, led by William Hooper. Andrew c. Mitchell introduced the speakers for the occasion. w. H. Sad dler of Birmingham made most in- spring talk on the third Liberty Loan and the necessity of the American people investing their money in these bonds. Earl Pettus of Birmingham out lined the various events which had oc- cured before the United States en- tered the war and also afterward. He was followed with close attention by the large crowd which had gathered around the rostrum. T. F. Crittendon, state chairman of the four minute men. made an interesting talk and was followed by j. E. Haffner, zone chairman for the Liberty Loan drive in this district, who stated that Bes- semer would go over the top with her quota of s250,G00, which was received with shouting. A special feature of the rally was the patriotic songs rem dered by the High school Glee club under the direction of Miss Mary Jack son. supervisor of music. These young ladies were costumed as Liberty and all carried national flags.
 During the programme committees were soliciting the sale of Liberty Bonds and it is understood that they proved most successful. The amount received at this time has not been an- Rounced
