deceased had lived near Opheim for
five years, where he has many friends
who will miss his pleasant smile, as
he was a highly respected young man
and made friends wherever he went.
On October 26, 1918, he was married
to Irma Morris of Opheim, and few
days later they went to Whitefish,
Mont, to visit relatives. About ten
days later they were both attacked
with the influenza. Earl has never
been we'll and strong, and he did not
have the strength to fight the dis

His parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Hendricks

BOYS WORKING RESERVE
TO BE CONTINUED


Washington, D. C.-That the agri-
culturists of the United States are a
unit on the Importance of continuing
the United States boys working re-
serve as a peace time organization is
indicated by the "Appeal to the Amer
ican People" just made by the ma
tional board of farm organizations,
representing practically every farm
er in the country. In it's statement
regarding farm labor conditions with
recommendations as to overcoming
the present shortage of farm help
the national board recommends "the
intensive training of boys in accord
ance with the plans of the U. S. boys
working reserve, United States en-
ployment service" and the board fur
ther urges that the department of
labor be given facilities for carrying
out the plans necessary to bring the
boys working reserve to it's fullest ef-
ficiency.
In view of the estimated shortage
of farm labor in 1919 and the greatly
increased demand for agricultural pro-
duction by the United States the U. S,
boys working reserve will be one of
the main agencies in saving the world
from serious food shortage if not
from actual famine.

SCHOOLS CLOSED
TILL JANUARY
No Improvement in Influenza
Epidemic in Countryside
uatiOn Better in Town,
TEACHERS GO TO THEIR HOMES
Board of Health May Allow Churches
to Open for Short Services Next
Week if Conditions Permit,

Considerable agitation about the
opening of the schools has been ram
pant during the past week and after
much strife the board of health has
given orders that there will be no
schools opened in the towns or rural
districts of the county until the first
Of January.
While the influenza situation in
town seems to be better this week
there is no let up in the country dis
tricts and patients are brought in
daily to the local hospitals.
A great many of the citizens of
Glasgow were in favor of opening
the schools next Monday and after
the parents of the town were inter-
viewed the general opinion was that
it is much better to keep them closed
than to have an epidemic among the
school children.
DR.. Simpkins states that in talking
to several parents repetition of the
condition in Scobey is feared. The
schools were opened there and it was
thought that the disease was com.
pletely stamped out in that city, bu,
during the past week many Of the
school children have been taken sick
A canvass of the town was made by
the school teachers Wednesday and il
was found that outside Of the hos
pitals there were % cases on the south
side and about IL or IA on the north
side, and that large number of these
are children, disproving the theory
that children are not taking the in
fluenza.
While state orders prohibit tht
opening of theatres while any trace
of the disease NAV be found in th'
community, it is possible that tn
churches will be allowed to open fo
one short service day beginning I
week from next Sunday.

WILL CONTINUE CAMP LEWIS

Camp Lewis, Tacoma, WASH, No.
vember 2O.-With some rehabilitation
plans received and great many more
rumors of rehabilitation afloat, there
is one department Camp Lewis that
is as busily engaged as ever, and ac-
cording to present indications, will
continue to be so in following out the
previously announced plan of the gov
ernment to make the cantonment
permanent post.
That department is the office Of the
construction quartermaster, Major
John Coffee Hayes, and it was an
nounced today that no change in pres
ent plans, peace or war, were expect
ed in this quarter.
1--WE are mobilizing instead of de-
mobilizing," said Major Hayes this
morning. "No orders to change pres
ent construction plans as now out
lined have been received"
In this connection it is pointed out
that construction to place the cantin-
ment on permanent basis will not
need to be extensive owing to the fact
that it was laid out from the first
with this possibility in mind.
Construction of barracks has been
such, it is said, that merely lining the
inside will be adequate. The drain
age and sewerage has all been laid,
officers state, so that it will serve
for years to come and the location Of
tho so-called "business center" is such
that no moving about will be necessary
for a permanent organization. :.

SOLDIERS
HAVE SHORT TRIP
Twenty-six Sheridan County Boys
Start to Camp and Get to Next
Town When Dismissed.

Last Tuesday there was a general
rejoicing in Plentywood at the return
of 26 soldier boys who had gone
through vigorous campaign of three
hours in Bainville. 1t is not so cer-
tain that the boys rejoiced as much
upon returning as they did that morn
ing when they marched to the train
at Plentywood and departed for camp
They all looked forward with pleas
ure to the journey they had in view,
but alack and alas, when they arriv-
ed at Bainville orders were there for
them to return to Plentywood the
same day.
There is one thing sure, however,
that very few tears were shed upon
their departure, and when the dis
gusted bunch returned here they were
given the handshake of welcome and
were met with grins at every turn

RED CROSS WORK
IS NOT ENDED
Organization Must Continue to Min
lister to the Stricken Countries
in Europe.

The following message from the
War Council of the American Red
northern division headquarters:
Cross has just been received at the
"On February 10 last year, nearly
six weeks before the United States
declared war, national Red Cross head
quarters advised it's chapters to pre-
pare for war. That which has fol-
lowed in the record of the Red Cross
in helping to win this war and to re-
lieve the suffering growing out of it,
constitutes something Of which every
American citizen has a right to be
proud. Every American Red Cross
worker must feel a sense Of gratitude
in having had a share in it all.
"But even with peace, let no one
suppose that the work of the Red
Cross is finished. Millions Of Amer
lean boys are still under arms. Thous-
ands of them are sick and wounded
Owing to the shortage in shipping, it
may take year or more to bring our
boys home from France. Whatever
the time, our protecting arms must
be about them and their families over
the whole period which must elapse
before the normal life of peace can
be resumed.
"Our soldiers and sailors are en-
listed until the commander-in-chietf
tells them there is no more work fol
them to do in the war. Let every Rec
Cross member and worker show ou1
returning soldiers and sailors thai
to care for their health, welfare an<
happiness, we are enlisted for no les!
period than they are.
"The cessation of war will revea
a picture of misery such as the worlt
has never seen before, especially i,
the many countries which cannot hell
themselves. The American people will
expect the Red Cross to continue t.
act as their agent in repairing bro
ken spirits and broken bodies. Peac'
terms and peace conditions will de
termine how we may best ministe
to the vast stricken areas which hav'
been narrowed by war, and in thi
great act of mercy, the heart and spir
it of the American people must con
tinue to be mobilized through tn
American Red Cross.
"On behalf of the War Council, w
accordingly ask each member of ou
splendid body of workers throughou
the land to bear in mind the solemn
obligation which rests upon each on
to carry on We cannot abate on
instance in our efforts or in our spir
it. There will be an abundance o
work to do, and specific advices
will be given, but even at the mo
ment of peace, let no Red Cross work
er falter.
"Our spirit must now call US t
show that it is not the roar of can
non nor the blood of our own alon
that directs our activities, but that
great people will continue to respon
greatly and freely to its obligatio
and opportunity to serve mankind.

ANTI-GLASGOW PROPAGANDA

Rumors are afloat that notices are
being put up along the county roads
advising people to keep away from
Glasgow because of the "flu' epidem-
ic, and as the result has frightened
the farmers away from town. A state
ment was made by DR.. Simpkins last
night to the effect that there is prac-
tically no danger of people cathing
the "flu" by coming here as the NOR
tality rate during the epidemic has
been lower here than any town of this
size in the state; and since all places
where crowds might gather have been
closed no harm could come from trad
ing at the Glasgow stores.
