service has ended will be able to con-
t'nue his policy. Finally, the pre-
miums are so arranged as to place on
the government the whole cost of the
insurance that results from the
hazards of war.
The young unmarried man is con-
sequently as much interested in this
insurance as the married man; for by
taking it he assures his own future.
Every man you know that has not
arnl'ed for this insurance should be
urged to obtain the maximum of in
surance or $4,000. The payments
will then be in accordance with Amer
lean standards of living amounting 70
$3.50 month. Under a policy for
$4,000 they will be $31.63 a month.
From minimum policy, $1,000, they
will be $5.75.
Every private and officer can af-
ford policy of $4,000. The premium
is but $3.50 a month for man at
81 years of age, $500 at 25 and $500
at 81.
An employer or third person can
not apply for the insurance. The
application must come from the man
himself. The man may, however,
telegraph or cable the employer, or
third person, authority to apply on
his behalf, and in the interest of a
beneficiary of the classes named in
the law. The third person can then
file with the bureau of war risk in
surance, treasury department, Wash
ington, D. c., an application accom-
panied by the telegraphic authority,
at the same time inclosing certified
check or draft to meet premiums for
at least three months.

ship and set it free, with every per-
son on board. Contrast this if you
will with the method of the German
captain. of the submarine who sank
the "Lusitania" drowning hundreds
of men and women and children. Con-
trast it if you will with the conduct
of the German submarine that sank
the steamer "Belgian-Prince" The
captain of this submarine not only
sank the Belgian-Prince but des-
troyed the lifeboats of the sinking
vessel with axes. When survivors
climbed upon the hull of his submar-
inc, he and his sailors, took away
their lifebelts and even their clothes
from them and then he and his sailors
went into the submarine and closed
their matches and submerged, leaving
the helpless victims to drown in the
cold waters of mid-ocean. Contrast it
if you will with the conduct of the
German government, which issued
officially iron medals to celebrate the
sinking of the Lusitania! An officer
of the Red Cross who has just re-
turned from France, showed me one
of these medals the other day and I
had never so vividly realized the hor-
ror of the business until l saw that
medal, bearing the official stamp and
approval of the German government

WORLD WAR HORRORS
Ex-C0ngressman Tells of Exper-
fences in Devastated
War Zone.

Saturday evening the people of
Glasgow had an opportunity to hear
some of the real horrors of the great
world war at first hand. Ex-Con-
gresham, Tom Stout, who spoke un-
der the auspices of the local Red
Cross, was one of the Congressional
party who made trip to the war
zone last fall. Mr.. Stout painted a
vivid work picture of the terrible
scenes which greet the eye on every
hand in the war devastated regions of
France and Belgium.
He said in part that the horrible
atrocities that have been laid at the
doors Of the Hun were not exag-
gerated but minimized in a majority
of cases. Mr.. Stout urged every loyal
American citizen to bend every en-
ergy toward helping the nation in
it's great struggle for freedom and
democracy.
In speaking of the American boys
who are over in France Mr.. Stout said:
"The boys are behaving them
selves and are too busy to do other
wise. They are courteous to the
French women, kind to the children
and have won the hearts Of the
French people by their splendid treat
ment to everyone and their manliness.
They are undertaking the job of VIM
ming the war with a seriousness and
full comprehension of their duty.
They are we'll fed, we'll clothed and
are determined to stay till they have
finished their task"
Mr.. Stout said that one Of the
greatest things that the United
States had to contend with at this
time were the traitors within our
own lines. He said "This is no time
for neutrals. We must either be for
the United States or against the
United States" He emphasized the
fact that it was high time to make
every man get "into the middle of
the road" and declare himself.

SECOND DRAFT CALL SOON,

While war department officials re-
iterate that no date has definitely
been fixed for the calling for the Sec
ond draft of the national army, all
indications would seem to point to
some time during the month of April
or at the latest early in May.
Such an estimate is based on the
known preparations for equipping and
housing the men.
The number to be called in the
first increment has not yet been de-
termined because the question of
housing has not been disposed of.
1t is possible that additional can
tonments may have to be provided.

DR.. H. c. Culbertson of the United
State food administration spoke to a
packed house at the Gibson hall Mon
day evening, and to say that he sent
his audience home in a serious frame
of mind would be putting it altogeth-
er too mildly. DR.. Culbertson is a
forceful, vitalic talker and he pro-
pounded a succession of facts that
fairly made our hair crinkle. He con-
vinced every man, woman and child
who heard him, that they were not do
ing their share in the great war in
which our country is engaged. 1t is
the patriotic duty of every citizen in
Valley county to read DR.. Culbertson's
talk which follows in full:
There has never been any great
achievement in the world except by
sacrifice, blood and tears. The Pill
grim fathers who fled from England
to Holland, from Holland to the bleak
savage shores of the new world, sac
rificed for the ideals of liberty and
truth. Of our three million Ameri-
cans dwelling in this country at the
time of the revolutionary war, only
three thousand heroes stayed with
Washington at Valley Forge during
that dark winter of discouragement,
suffering with cold and hunger, and
wounds in order that you and might
have country and flag.
Today we are called upon to make
sacrifices for the winning of a. war
in which the whole world is engaged.
We are fighting not only because
American ships have been sunk and
American citizens drowned by the
ruthless warfare of the submarine,
but we are fighting because the con-
science of our people had been stirred
by the brutal attack Of Austria upon
Serbia, the unscrupulous assault of
Germany upon Belgium, and the hor-
rible massacre of eight hundred
thousand liberty-loving Armenians by
the Turks, and their German officers.
Almost the whole Armenian nation
has been blotted out because they
stood in the way of the kaiser's dream
of an empire stretching from Berlin
to Bagdad.
In Belgium and Poland, Germany
has deliberately stripped the country
of all means whereby the inhabitants

MAIL YOUR LETTERS EARLY

MAIL YOUR LETTERS EARLY
The chamber of commerce and ag.
riculture of Glasgow have been re-
quested by Mr.. j. C. Rooms, first as
sistant postmaster general of Wash
ington to urge business houses in VAL
ley county to make some slight
changes in their daily routine by
posting letter mail promptly, to Sc
cure it's dispatch on the first scheduled
train, which in many cases might re-
suit in delivery of "a hours or more
sooner than if mailed only each even
ing. It is asked that all letters ready
for signing at noon hours also other
mail accumulating up to then, be
mailed. Thus considerable guam
tity would be in transit to destina-
ton before the close of the business
day.
The department at Washington de-
sires to emphasize the fact that it is
not urging this action as an economi-
cal measure, but for the purpose of
meeting, as far as possible, the pres
ent complicated situation incident to
war activities. Let's all help in this
matter, it's worth while.

MONTANA CALF BRINGS
RECORD PRICE AT SALE
Lowe & Powers of Culberts0n
Sell Nine Months Calf
For $1,O25.OO.

The firm Of Lowe & Powers of
Culbertson, Montana, owners of the
"Mar-Car Shorthorn herd broke all
records at the second annual sale of
the Missouri Yellowstone Pure Bred
Live Stock association, at Williston,
N. D. February 27 and % when they
sold their calf, Master of Glencoe for
81 ,025.OO This calf was nine months
old, a richly bred handsome roam be-
ing double bred Whitehall Sultan,
an excellent individual with rare
breeding, and the price obtained was
the highest paid for any one animal
at the sale either horses or cattle.
Notwithstanding there were nearly
fifty head of registered shorthorn
bulls sold.
This calf will head the prize herd
of shorthorn cattle owned by Stenegh-
jem Brothers, and they are to be
congratulated upon being the lucky
purchasers, and will no doubt produce
some excellent results.
Messrs. Lowe & Powers also topped
the sale with their roam heifer Lovely
Louisa, a calf II months old, for
which Mr.. l. C. Stewart paid $4,000
which goes to show that these Mon
tana gentlemen have in their herd
some of the best individuals in the
northwest, and Sheridan county can
be justly proud of the Mar-Car herd
of Shorthorns.
The Missouri Yellowstone Pure
Bred Live Stock association holds an
annual sale at Williston and this year
decided to take in Valley county, and
James r. Stephens of Glasgow was
appointed director.

WOMEN TO HELP
FOOD SITUATION
W0men's Home Guard Auxiliary
Have Plan to Help Lick
the Kaiser"
EVERY VACANT LOT TO Be A GARDEN
Orpheum Theatre Will Furnish Seed
for the "War Gardens" Under
Unique Plan of Manager
Ray Robbins.

The ladies of the Women's Patriotic
association of Glasgow, which is the
women's auxiliary of the local Home
Guard, believe that food will be the
winning factor in the great war, and
with this idea in mind they are now
hard at work securing every available
vacant lot in the city to plant to po-
tatoes and other garden stuffs with
which to "shoot the kaiser"
Already large number of lots have
been pledged and the ladies will have
full charge of the planting and car
ing for these numerous "war gar
dens" during the summer months.
Some of the ground will be sown to
small garden truck but the bulk will
be devoted to the raising of good old
"1rish Spuds." 1t is also likely that
some sugar beets will be raised by
the ladies, just to demonstrate what
the soil in the Milk river valley will
do under proper cultivation.
Raymond Robbins of the Orpheum
theatre has offered to assist in fur
nishing the seed for these gardens and
has set aside the week of March 10
as potato week at the Orpheum. Chill
dren under 10 years of age will be ad-
mitted to the shows on Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday for five medium
sized potatoes and on Thursday and
Sunday, eight potatoes will be the
admission fee and on Saturday even
ing the kiddies will have to bring ten
potatoes in order to see the big show.
Persons wishing to donate seed of
any kind for the good cause may
leave same at the Orpheum theatre at
any time and they will be turned over
to the proper officers Of the order.
Any kind Of suitable garden seed
is acceptable. If you have surplus
or something especially good turn it
over to the association.
On Friday evening the ladies of the
Patriotic association will be in charge
of the program at this theatre and
several musical selections win be
added to the regular feature Of the
show. Among this number will be a
male quartet selection by Messrs. AL
sop, Cunningham, Halliday and Com
port. Remember the dates and help
the ladies boost this most worthy
cause.

could earn living. She tried to force
those peoples, by the threat of STAR
vation, to come to Germany and work
in her munition plants. When they
preferred starvation rather than to
help Germany against their own ma
ton, Germany deported scores of
thousands of them by military force
and hopes to replace them with Ger
man colonists in order that those
countries may become provinces of
the German Empire. The full tale of
German barbarities in the lands which
she has conquered cannot be told un-
til after the war is over, but it makes
us boil with anger to know that she
has deported thousands of captured
women into slavery, and that in the
cellars of the houses of eastern
France, in the villages occupied by
German troops, there are hundreds of
helpless French women tethered and
chained in the darkness, in order that
they may be used to crafty the lust
Of German officers and men. In one
case German troops even burned
French girls at the stake in order to
lure the soldiers of France into a
certain death trap.
The contrast between German and
American ideals of warfare, could not
be made clearer than by an illustra-
tion from our American Civil war.
During that war Captain Symmes of
the Confederate Cruiser Alabama,
was seeking to sweep the commerce
of the northern states from the seas.
Almost all ports were closed to him
by the blockade so that he could not
take prizes, and he sank as many ves-
sells as he ccusd. But he never sank
ship without providing for the safe
ty of every person on board. At one
time he captured vessel which he
very much wanted to retain and to
fit out as another cruiser like the
Alabama. He put prize crew on
board and sent it to a port in one of
the West Indies. When they drew
near land they found that the island
was suffering from an epidemic of
cholera. The passengers of the cap
tured ship were terrified lest they be
put ashore on that island. When
Captain Symmes learned of the chol-
era he Immediately gave up all his

STANDARDlZE METHODS OF
HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION
District Supervisor Walter
Mathews in City to
Discuss Plans.

We are indebted to Walter Mathews,
district supervisor of state highways,
for pleasant visit and brief synop-
sis of the policy of the state high
way commission which is endeavoring
to standardize methods of highway
construction throughout the state.
Without doubt highway construc-
tion and maintenance offers great
er field of endeavor through system
xitization and standardizing then any
other public industry. Inefficiency
and misdirected energy seems to have
characterized this department of pub
lie improvement since the pilgrim
fathers landed at Plymouth Rock.
Through the absence of organization,
and proper accounting systems, there
seems to be no record of experience
whereby the errors can be success
fully avoided which have occurred in
the past, nor advantage taken Of the
many practical methods employed in
road building.
The policy of the state highway
commission, aside from it's duties in
the distribution of federal aid road
funds, is to encourage the different
boards of county commissioners to
adopt modern accounting methods SO
that every single piece of road work
may have a definite history from
which specific information as to cost
and construction will be available, and
a working force organization is also
advocated so that responsibility may
be properly placed, and the efficiency
of men and methods irrefutably estab-
lished. If there is better way of
doing things than those in vogue,
there should be way of establishing
that fact, and if we have reached per-
lection in any special line, Of en-
deavor, there should be a record there
of to refer to so that we may not

CITIZENS MUST
REGISTER GUNS
All Fire Arms and Weapons of
Every Nature Must be Reg.
istered with Sheriff.
MUST BE3REPORrED BY MARCH 10th
Sheriff Powell Hard at Work on New
Law. Registration Agents APP
pointed for Different Points in
Valley County.

The extraordinary session of the
Montana state legislature passed one
law that hits practically every citizen
in the state of Montana. This is the
law which makes it compulsory for
every owner of fire arm or weapon,
of whatsoever nature to register same
with the sheriff of the county wherein
he resides. The report can be sworn
to before any officer authorized to
administer oaths, on the proper
forms. Forms have already been got
ten out by Sheriff C. w. Powell of
this county and he has appointed the
following registration agents in the
different precincts in the county:
H. H. Beebe, Opheim.
Sid. Bollin, Nashua.
F. B. Gillette, Hinsdale.
E. R. Reynolds, Thoeny.
@. P. McClammy, Oswego.
You can register your fire arms be-
fore any of the above officers or be-
fore any deputy sheriff or the sheriff
in Glasgow.
The law specifically provides that
reports on all fire arms must be in
not later than March 20. Failure to
make such report is misdemeanor
and punishable by arrest and fine or
Imprisonment.
The law also provides that it shall
be unlawful for any person to pur-
chase fire arms of any kind without
receiving a permit from the sheriff
and that such permit shall not be is
sued by the sheriff until he is salts
fled that the person applying for same
is of good moral character and does
not desire such fire arm or weapon for
any unlawful purpose.
Section five of the law provides
each dealer engaged in the business
of selling fire arms, must by March
20, receive from the county clerk a
register in which shall be entered, at
the time of sale, full description of
fire arms or weapons sold, name of
purchaser, residence, age, occupation,
height, color of skin, eyes, hair and
the signature of the purchaser. Any
person who fails to keep this register
will also be guilty of misdemeanor.
The law defines fire arms and wea-
pons under this act as any revolver,
pistol, shot gun, rifle, dirk, dagger or
sword

CLAUDE MOORE TO LEAVE.
C. o. Moore returned Tuesday
morning from Great Falls where he
has been the past week arranging for
the Olympian display at the state
automobile show which will be held
there the week of March 20. Mr..
Moore advises that elaborate prepar-
ations are being made to make the
show this year the biggest and most
successful one in the history of the
association. Claude's many friends
in Glasgow will be sorry to learn,
however, that he has decided to make
his future home in Great Falls. The
reason for the move is the fact that
Great Falls is more centrally located
and he can handle his state dealer
ship to better advantage from there.
