The centenary is a movement within
the church to bring every department
of church activity to its largest use
fulness and the points which are es-

of prayer, tithing, missionary work at
home and abroad and especially to
arouse the church to the great tasks
which are before us along spiritual
lines, in every part of the world. To
meet this need the church plans in
the next five weeks to raise $50, ,0OO,-
900, half for home work and half for
foreign work. Along with the rails
ing of this sum of money comes the
call for the conservation of hundreds
of young men and women to dedicate

ROGER SWEENEY OF
NASHUA IS DEAD

NASHUA is DEAD
Roger Sweeney is dead!
That was the sad news flashed
around Nashua on Friday afternoon
of last week. About two weeks ago
he was taken sick with influenza
from which plural pneumonia quickly
developed, taking his life in less than
three days.
Mrs. Sweeney was the first to be
taken sick with the disease, her hus-
band coming down few days later
During her sickness she became
mentally deranged and continued to
call for her husband, who was in bed
upstairs. On several occasions he
got up and came down stairs, with
the result that he contracted pneu-
monia.
Deceased was 27 years old, having
come to Montana over a year ago, be-
ing employed at the Farmers Lum-
ber company. Shortly after his ar
rival he was married to Martha Ed
man. He leaves an infant daughter
besides his wife, to mourn his loss.
The funeral services were held at
Glasgow on Monday afternoon and
the body was laid to rest in the Glas-
gov cemetery.-Nashua Independent

IRRIGATION
''''''N'' : DISCUSSED ji!i
Committee Met With Reclama-
tion Men Monday to Talk
Over Problems.
DISTRICT PLANS SEEN FEASIBLE
General Meeting for Going Over Milk
River Valley Situation Will Be
Called When Epidemic Abates.

Mr.. Eglysten, chief counsel of the
reclamation service, and George E
Stratton, project manager of the Milk
River Valley irrigation project, while
in Glasgow Monday met with the Ir.
rigation committee of the Chamber Of
Commerce and Agriculture and each
gave a very interesting talk on irri-
cation. Mr.. Eglysten went into detail
regarding the formation of an irriga.
tion district. The district plan is one
that has met with success wherever
it has been adopted, and the plan nc
doubt would be a success in the Milk
river valley.
The irrigation district plan is found
under state law enacted by the leg
islature and approved March 18, 1909
According to irrigation reports
there are $4,000 acres in the Glasgow
that are available in the formation
of district and of this amount there
are 1000 acres not irrigable that could
be made part of the district.
The matter of securing an irriga-
tion expert is one of great importance
and if the service Of an expert could
be secured it would mean greater
crops and more successful farmers.
The local irrigation committee,
of which S. ]. Rumble is chairman, will
as soon as possible submit a report
with recommendation to the Chamber
of Commerce and Agriculture regard
ing their plans.
1t is hoped that general meeting
may be called in the near future and
if the influenza epidemic is checked
soon a meeting will be announced

NITRO WORKERS
ABS0LVE GOVERNMENT
No Blame for Mistreatment of Men
Recruited Here Attaches to EN-
ployment Service.

The local U. S. employment service
has received the following resolution
which was made by three of the men
who left Montana to secure work At
Nitro, w. Va, which shows how they
feel toward the U. s. employment ser
vice regarding the Nitro trip.
"Whereas, there seems to be a mis-
understanding among some Of the men
who were recruited for Nitro, West
Virginia, by the United States en-
ployment service of the state of Mon
tana, and also by certain of the pub
lie, as to the employing of these men
who went to Nitro, and whereas, there
seems to be well-defined and we'll
established intention upon the part of
some individuals to reflect upon the
good offices of the Montana branches
of the United States employment SER
vice by trying to poison the public
mind against the service through in
timations that these agencies had done
some wrong or had committed some
crime in recruiting the twelve hun
dred men for the Nitro powder plant
by its efforts to carry out the pur-
pose for which these offices were
created; and whereas, these twelve
hundred men were solicited and Sc
cured by the said U. S. employment
service upon the request and represen-
tations made by the Thompson-Star-
rett Construction company and the
Hercules Powder company purporting
to represent the facts as they existed
concerning the conditions actually sur
rounding the jobs for which these
men were sought.
"Therefore, as the duly authorized
and acting committee for the men
who returned from Nitro, w. Va, we
wish publicly to absolve the U. s.
employment service from any blame,
wrongdoing, or criticism whatsoever
in connection with the Nitro affair,
and to take this opportunity of ex-
pressing to the public our feeling
that the U. S. employment service is
of real benefit to the people of Mon
tana and of the United States, and,
further, to urge the public to COOP
crate with and to support the U. S.
employment service in it's endeavors
to solve the problems of employment.

SCHOOL WORK BEGINS
AGAIN NEXT WEEK
Board of Health Approves of Home
Study Plan as Worked Out by
Supt. and School Board.

The state superintendent has sent
word to the local school authorities
that school terms should not be short
ened because of the influenza epidem-
ic; so a method of getting the work
done has been devised.
At the request of many patrons it
has been decided to furnish weekly
outlines of the work to be covered and
when regular school opens tests and
examinations will be given to cover
the work. 1t may be a month or
longer before the regular sessions can
be held and patrons and students are
urged to take hold of the work in a
thorough manner.
BY starting the work next week
the school term can not be completed
until the last week in June and it is
useless to attempt to hold school any
later.
School houses will not be run and
the country pupils should come to
town for individual help when nec-
essary. The city teachers have been
sent for and as soon as an outline
is ready this will be delivered by mail
or messenger.
Pupils should then get their books
and begin their studies. The head
quarters for all information concern
ing the work will be at the high school
office.

TO PROTEST AGAINST
PROPOSED new RATES
MEETING AT HELENA TOMORROW FOR PURPOSE
OF CREATING STATEWIDE ORGANIZATION
TO PROTECT INTERESTS

A telegram received by L. E. Jones
this morning urges a number of Glas-
gov business men to be present at
meeting tomorrow afternoon at the
Placer hotel in Helena for the pur-
pose of creating statewide organi-
cation to protect the interests of the
people against the proposed increase
in freight rates. The meeting has
been called by the Great Falls and
Butte Chambers of Commerce and it
is probable that some Glasgow citi-
zens will leave tonight for Helena.
The problem is vital one and af-
fects every coal consumer in the
state. The situation is we'll stated in
the following letter sent to our local
Chamber of Commerce from the cham
Der at Great Falls:
Great Falls, Dec. 4th, 1918.
Commercial Club,
Glasgow, Montana.
Gentlemen: The state of Montana
now has before it three propositions
bearing upon freight rates that are
decidedly vital to its growth and de-
velopment and each of which is en-
titled to your most earnest consider
alton.
We realize that you cannot be ex-
pected to keep abreast of the many
changes that are transpiring in the
making of rates under government
control, and we therefore take this
occasion, as we'll as the liberty, of
briefly outlining these three questions,
in order that you may fully realize
the import Of them, both to the state
of Montana and to your community.
The United States railroad admin
isration, through the St. Paul district
freight committee, recently called a
hearing scheduled for St. Paul on
November 22nd, in which they pro-
posed to revise coal rates from Mon
tana producing points to stations in
Montana, and to the states east of
US, and as usual this revision was on
an upward trend. The following Ia
BILE will give you an idea Of the scope
of these advances:

JAMES HINES BELIEVED KILLED

j. ]. Hines, who resides near Grain,
recently received a telegram from the
war department in which it was stat
ed that his son JAis.es had died OF
wounds received in action, death be-
ing on the 21st day of October. He
also received letter from France
the same day as his death was re-
ported, October 21, dictated to the
nurse, in which he said that he was
recovering rapidly from his wounds,
the most painful then being the ones
in his knee.
AS result of the two contrasting
messages Mr.. Hines and family are
undecided as to which to believe, as
it hardly seems possible that he would
write such an encouraging letter and
die the same day. His many friends
hope that he is still living and able
to return to Montana soon.-Nashua

Rates on Coal per Ton Net.

Note: These rates are for one line
hauls, for two line hauls 30c per ton
added; 3 line hauls additional 20c.
The argument advanced by the
United States railway administration
justifying the necessity of this reyis-
ion in rates, sets forth that the pres
ent schedule lacks Uniformity and does
not cover sufficient territory. They
further state that it is proposed to
adopt a uniform mileage scale. As
example of what these advances will
mean, would state that the rate from
Bear Creek field to Butte will be ad-
vanced 80 cents per net ton, and from
Bear Greek to Great Falls, 60 cents
per net ton. This, you must under
stand, is on top of the advance i'm
posed upon June 25th, under what
is possibly better known to the gen.
eral public as the 25 per cent ad-
vance, although in some cases on coal
it was over twice the regular advance
on Otnef communities.
Every one in your community is
vitality interested, and must of nee
essity use coal, and we, who have
rates, feel that the rates in Montana
made somewhat of study of these
on this commodity at the present time
are abnormally high and that they
should be highly compensatory to the
government. So far as we are able
to ascertain at this time, and we have
made determined efforts to do so, we
cannot find where any other neighbor-
ing states are scheduled for further
advances in their coal rates, and it
is our idea to be represented at the
hearing of the United States rail-
road administration at St. Paul when
ever called, in order to protest the
adoption of the proposed rates.
Class Rates.
The United States railroad admin
istration has rendered to the inter-
state commerce commission scales of
class rates for investigation and rec
concentrations to them whereby it
is proposed to divide the different dis
tricts of the country into what might
be termed zones and to strive toward
more unity in rate making, and more
fair and equitable rates throughout
the entire country.

and Washington, have been put into
