Marie Beaupre was an extremely
beautiful Alsatian girl. so it was no
srprise when Louis La Fargo, famous
French artist. fell in love with her
when he met her in the mountains
where he had gone on a painting trip
And Marie fell in love with him, and
when Louis deserted her and her rel
atives and friends discovered her Sc
cret. Marie was cast from her home
and forced 10 live in the mountains as
best she could.
All this trouble deranged Marie's
mind She became known as The
Witch Woman" and whenever any
thing happened that the mountaineers
couldn't explain. they blamed it on
Mariea nd cursed her for it.
Finally Marie was taken to PARIS
by a doctor who became interested IN
her case and there her mentality was
restored. Later Marie again met Louis
and also came in contact with his
twin brother. Maurice, who looked ex-
actIy like Louis Many thrilling and
surprising events followed these
meetings and all of the occurrences
go to make one of the most entertain
ing photoplays seen in a long time.

SAVIOURS
By ANGELA MORGAN

Yours is the daring skill to tread
The waters of world at war;
Yours is the miracle to shed
Where rocking seas of hatred are,
Courage and comfort, like star.
You cry unto an earth dismayed,
And God is thrilling in your tone:
Brothers, the ship is not alone;
Be not afraid!'
Ye are the Christs of this black hour,
The Great Physician come again,
Within your sacred hands the power
To heal the race of men.
Ye hold the hurt world to your breast;
Ye bind her bruised and broken soul;
The sick, the MANNED and the oppressed
Yours is the gift to make them whole.
And where the stricken miles unroll
Ye sound the resurrection morn;
Above the bier where Justice lies,
With visions of an age new born,
Ye bid the dead arise!
o World, that walkest now in tears
Where Truth again is crucifed
After the thousand, thousand years
See vet that Christ is not denied

THE HEROISM OF MERCY

There is no greater herQism than the
heroism of mercy. There is no truer
bravery than the bravery of tenderness.
Out of the crash of nation against nation
arises a ChriSt-like sympathy, and the
insignia of its tenderness is the cross OF
red. 1t is the only remaining glow of a
Christian hope. 1t is religion under
she'll fire. 1t is a sigh set to the music
of sympathetic action. If man who

GERMAN AND PRUSSIAN SPIES

GERMAN AND PRUSSlAN SPIES
The gofer is valuable ally of the
kaiser. These friends of the kaiser
are coming out and it is up to you
to be on the ground to meet the
enemy with a spoonful of poisoned
bait. Poisoning gofers is compulsory
this year, so get busy and buy the
poison early. 1t will cost less, for
two reasons, oats are rapidly advanc-
ing in price, and the longer you wait
the more golfers you will have to
poison.
A recent letter from A. F. Taylor,
biological assistant, states that the
government lands will be taken care
of if the adjacent land owner will
poison the gofers on his land, which
is compulsory.
These German spies which we have
on our farms, are defeated by an in
vestment of two cents worth of poison
per acre. They destroy on an average
of $1.20 worth of grain per acre per
year. Does it pay to kill these CO.
workers Of the kaiser?
We have shipped out 1850 pounds
of gofer poison up to date, and our
first supply is about gone. Get yours
before the price raises.

URGE BOYS TO TAKE
SOLDIERS INSURANCE
Time Extended Until April 18th
for Boys to Take Out Gov
ernment Insurance.

The Glasgow chamber of commerce
and agriculture urges the people of
Valley county to see that our boys in
service have provided themselves with
government insurance. This county
has direct interest in having all of
it's members who are with the armed
forces of the United States obtain the
full benefit of the insurance which the
government offers. This insurance is
additional to compensation for death
or disability, is likewise additional to
service and retirement pay, and is
separate and apart from allotments
of pay and allowances by the govern
ment for dependents. Compensation
and allowances are automotic, being
fixed by law. Insurance is discretion
ary with each person who is with the
armed forces.
Many officers and men have not
yet exercised their discretion. These
men should be urged by you to OBJ

entering the service every person has
12O days in which to make his appli-

those whose opportunity would have

has extended the period to April IL.
Business men of our county should
write to their former employees and
urge them to apply for insurance,
asking them to reply definitely wheth-
er or not he has applied. In this way
we can prevent future problems for
our community and hardships to indi-
viduals. If an insured person dies,
his beneficiaries will receive monthly
payments for twenty years; if the

MUST RETURN H0ARDED
FLOUR and SUGAR NOW
Families Having More Than
Thirty Days Supply Should
Turn Back Excess.

Investigations of sales recently
made by the office of the federal food
administrator for Montana clearly
show that there are many homes
where there is sufficient supply of
flour and sugar to last several
months. Some of this was bought
early before food administration reg
ulations were announced, but unfor-
tunately a very large percentage of
it has been purchased since the an
nouncement of the food administra-
tion regulations and is clearly hoard
ing food products.
For the next four months the sup
ply of flour available in America and
the allied countries of Europe is very
low, and the home which holds excess
quantities out of trade is cooperating
directly with Germany to bring about
the defeat of the allied cause.
To those having such supplies we
ask that they communicate with the
office of the federal food administra-
tor at Bozeman, stating the amount
they have on hand and they will be
advised how this may be put back
into trade. No publicity will be given
and with the return of the commodity
the incident will be considered closed
so far as the food administration
authorities are concerned. Reasonable
time will be allowed for these reports
to come in and after that, steps will
be taken to. bring the penalties of the
food law on those who persist in
boarding these commodities.
The food law provides a penalty of
$4,000 fine, or two years in the fed
eral penitentiary for the boarding of
food necessities. BY boarding is
meant having in possession a supply
sufficient for more than thirty days.
Buyers therefore, who have enough
flour and sugar to last them several
months are breaking the law and
