HINSDALE MAKES GOOD
SHOWING AT FAREWELL
LARGE CROWDS FROM ALL PARTS OF COUNTY
COME TO GLASGOW TO TAKE PART IN BIG
DEMONSTRATION IN HONOR OF BOYS
DEPARTING FOR TRAINING CAMP.

One of the largest crowds that has
ever assembled in Glasgow was pres
ent Wednesday morning to take part
in the farewell demonstration Civen in
honor of the III boys who left for
Camp Lewis Wednesday night. Peo-
ple commenced to arrive Tuesday
afternoon and every hotel and room
ing house in the city was taxed to
overlooking.
In addition to the large number of
automobiles from Hinsdale the pro-
gressive little town of Opheim was
represented by large number of peo-
pie in automobiles, filled with friends
and relatives of quite a number of
the boys who hail from Opheim and
vicinity.
All of the cars of the visitors were
handsomely decorated and in nearly
every case each individual car dis
played a pennant telling the name of
the town from which its occupants
came.
Although there was one of the
largest crowds that has ever assem-
bled in Glasgow present everyone was
taken care of in the restaurants and
hotels and the day passed off quietly
without single disturbance.
An entertainment was provided for
the boys Tuesday evening by the Glas-
gov Home guards under the direc-
ton of Capt. Dave Parsons. An in
terestug wrestling match was given
on the court house grounds in which
"Kid" Gilbertson and "Slim" Wick
were the contestants, which was en-
joyed by large crowd. A collection
totaling $86.O5 was taken up and
turned over to the Glasgow chapter of
the Red Cross.
After the wrestling match badger
fight between champion bull dog and
an imported fighting badger, brought
to Glasgow by Secretary L. E. Jones
at the ball park and the fight was Civ
en- to the dog after several minutes
terrific battling.
The badger showed considerable grit
but was no match for the bull dog
although it was tough as steel and
stood it ground in the clinches. The
badger bit several of the onlookers
who got too close to the pit and med
ical attention was summoned for the
sufferers.
On account of the brutality of the
fight and the terrible amount of blood
shed by both the badger and the bull
dog and upon complaint of large
number of women who were present,
Sheriff Powell said he would not allow
any more badger fights to occur in
Valley county.
Wednesday morning the farewell
exercises were held at the court house
grounds and Attorney j. l.. Slattery
delivered mastery address full Of
eloquence, to the boys. Bands from
Hinsdale and Glasgow interspersed
music during the morning. A parade
through the principal streets of the
city, in which there were number Of
novelties, was given and large num-
ber of automobiles from Opheim,
Hinsdale, Barr, Thoeny, Oswego,
Nashua and other points were in line.
Wednesday evening bucking ex-
hibition was given at the ball park
after which the draft contingent went
to the station where they entrained
for Camp Lewis at 1920 p. m. amid
cheers of God speed and good luck.

INlERNED ALIENS WILL
AID AMERICA IN GARDENS
Marshall General CrOwder Says
Enemies of U. S. Must Help
Feed Soldiers.

Uncle Sam has started to put his
interned aliens to work, and here
after they will have to abide by the
work -or-fght order of General Crowd
er, as all the rest of US are doing.
One hundred German prisoners are
on their way from Fort Oglethorpe,
Ca, to Camp Devens at Aver, Mass,
and other consignments soon will be
on their way to Camp Dix, N. j., and
Camp Grant at Rockford, Ill.
At nearly every camp these men
will be put to work in war gardens,
according to an announcement just
made by the National War Garden
commission, which has cultivated a
4OO-acre war garden at Camp Dix. AS
soon as the squad arrives at Camp
Dix, Lieut. Col. Edward Tompkins, the
camp quartermaster, will introduce
them to the mysteries of the plow
and the harrow, and thus make them
help feed the $4,000 soldiers there.
Each squad of 100 prisoners is un-
der the direction and control of
twenty-five soldiers, and the plans for
their occupation have been worked
out by Col. J. S. Fair, assistant to the
acting quartermaster general, who,
following the establishment of the de-
monstration garden at Camp Dix by
the National War Garden commission,
is getting other gardens under way at
many of the camps. Colonel Fair now
has completed far-reaching program
for conserving not only the man pow
er at the various camps, but a plar
for cutting down waste and saving
supplies and material all along the
line.

MRS. LESLIE LIEBEN
BACK FROM SAD MISSION

Mrs. Jessie Lieben, clerk in the dry
goods department of the Lewis-We
company, returned Sunday morning
from Antelope, N. d., where she called
last week to attend the funeral of her
son-in-law, F. D. Lovelace of Antelope.
The sudden and sorrowful death of
Mr.. Lovelace is but an example of the
vagaries played by the irony of Fate.
Mr.. Lovelace, who was manager of
a grain elevator at Antelope, VISA driv-
ing a spirited team hitched to a
buggy the first part of last week and
was crossing the tracks of the Great
Northern, when the team became
frightened and plunged forward free
ing themselves from the buggy and
leaving Mr.. Lovelace and the buggy
on the railroad tracks just as an east
bound passenger train at high speed
came along striking the buggy and
throwing Mr. Lovelace under the
wheels causing injuries from which he
died.
Mrs. Lovelace and Mrs. Fred Bel
zer, daughters of Mrs. Lieben, will ar
rive in Glasgow next Sunday, where
they will make their home. The sad
and sudden death of Mr.. Lovelace is
said to have cast shadow of gloom
over Antelope, where he was one Of the
leading and popular citizens.

mystery. The amount of insurance,
if any, is unknown. The fire depart
ment made it's usual quick response
