would be folly to suppose that there
will be any return to a policy of IN

Out of the wheat that we grow we

not only for US, but for all the
countries by whose side we are fight

for a possible short crop next year
and for possible short crops in France
and England as well.
That means we must save without
letup, and save on a scale even
larger than heretofore. Our reward
will come in knowing that while we

Good roads boosters throughout
Montana are evincing a lively inter-

mobile and Good Roads Association
to be held in Miles City August z and
.. This gathering of good roads en-
thuslasts and automobile owners is
an annual event and the officials Of
the association promise something
bigger and more comprehensive than
any former state wide convention of
its kind.
Miles City, it's chamber of CON-
merce, and the board of county COM
missioners of Custer County have
gone far in arranging for the enter
talnment of the visitors, having
planned unusual features of interest
to the ladies attending. The Asso-

seems to combine business and pleas
ure in just the right proportions. But
the happiest arrangement Of all is
the holding of the meeting at & time
which permits of a join. session with

TWO GOOD OFFICIALS

It seems probable that neither Puck
Powell ror Carl Borton, sheriff and
county attorney of Valley county, re-
spectively, will have any opposition
either in the primaries, or general
election. This is as it should be as
both Of these gentlemen have made
splendid officials whose Americanism
is above question, and who are big
enough to Keep from Juggling politics
into their offices during the big world
conflagration that is now on. Both
offices are very important ones, es-
pecial!y in war time, and require men
who measure up to the standard.
Powell and Rorton could not be re-
placed by better men.-Glentana Re-
porter.

anime himself as he will be examined
by others. He should see himself as
others see him. His excuses, made
to himself to still his conscience, or
made to others to forestall criticism
and avert condemnation will be Of no
avail.
The ease that requires apology is
already lost. The candidacy that calls
for excuse is condemned by it's own
character.
Every man, candidate or in the
ranks of citizens, will be judged by
his relation to his surroundings; by
general knowledge regarding the part
of his duty that has been neglected.
The principle enunciated in the quo
tation from the platform has already
been recognized in Iowa law by the
provisions that veterans of the Civil
war, men who have proved their pat
riotism, be given preference for Off
cial preferment and in all branches
Of the public service.
1t is a travesty on government to
entrust with official affairs those who
are below the average of citizenship
in their willingness to serve their
country in positions and under condi-
tons calling for personal sacrifice.
The selfish man should be allowed to
deal only with self. He can not be
expected to have property regard for
the interests Of others and would be
likely to abuse the confidence Of the
unselfsh who suppose that they will
be granted, without asking it, fair
treatment by the state in all its
branches of government.
Those who are singled out for pub
lie preference in any capacity should
be examples of patriotic devotion to
the state and nation. Their characters
should inspire emulation among those
who need models.
The development of the idea m
braced in these republican platforms
is one of the notable tendencies of
the times. The thought is in all
minds. Voters will examine their
ballots more with the purpose to elm
mate the unpatriotic than to make
selections along party lines.

BOOST FOR GLASGOW"
By L. E.. Jones,

Glasgow is a good town. In fact, as
a commercial center it stands head
and shoulders above any other town
in this section. The farmers and
ranchers who settled in this vicinity
have always been loyal to Glasgow.
They have always done their part to
help make Glasgow a trade center of
consequence. With the commercial
interests and agricultural interests
cooperating on those matters that is
of vital interest to welfare and pros
perity of the county, there is no doubt
that this is a good country and will
o%ntinue to prosper. The commercial
interests of Glasgow have always
worked for the mutual benefit of the
farmers. The Glasgow Chamber
Of Commerce and Agriculture,
which today is known as one of the
liveliest organizations of its kind in
the State is persistently working to
secure better conditions for the
farmers. This organization has went
on record and started the movement
to secure emergency freight rates on
hay and feed, the urging Of the pas
sage of Senate Bill 3439 Of Myers,
whereby homesteaders may secure a
patent to their land if they have
lived one year on their homestead
previous to the enactment of this bill
which enables many farmers to secure
a federal, state or private loan and
thus continue their farming opera
tions at a critical time. This is what
the club did when it saw that federal
aid was needed to help the farmers
this fall and next year. They imme-
diately co-operated with the Farm
Bureau organizations in securing this
aid, which is 10Y a reality. The bust
ness men of Glasgow have financially
aided every movement in helping the
farmers secure those matters that
were of vital interest to them.
Abreast with the times has been
the remarkable banking advantages
established here. In line with eX-
cellent banking features of the city,
Glasgow is we'll equipped with stores
and supply houses which carry an
ample stock of goods to meet the de-
mand of a large AGRA, all of which
combined has made the city the lead
ing distributing point for which it is
renowned today.
Do you know that Glasgow is the
largest city in a radius of 100 miles
and is the best business town in the
state? Glasgow will continue to ex-
pand as a metropolitan and CONNER
c;al center even beyond the greatest
anticipation of our earliest and most
enterprising settlers.

for Glasgow, the best little city in
the west. Watch the go" in Glasgow

who wish to work in the harvest
fields of Lewistown and vicinity. This
fare will be deducted out Of wages by
farmers and possibly arrangements
can be made for farmers to pay this

being paid are 50 and $3.50, including
board and lodging. Any farmer in

THE SAME OLD GAME.

: In the frantic effort to discredit and
prejudice the farmers of Valley coun-
ty against Glasgow business men the
Valley County News, in its issue of
July 80, resorts to deliberate false
hood. The News. w too careful in
its handling Of the truth, goes so far
% to state that the merchants OF
Glasgow are charging from 100 to
200 per cent profit on the n%ecessaries
of life. AIRY man who knows the first
thing about present conditions cannot
help but realize that the statement is
positively insane. Practically all
food products are now under govern
ment regulation as to price n a
profit such as is claimed by the
News is impossible. The fact is
practically every dealer in foodstutfs
has a mighty hard time making ends
meet these days.
Citing a specific instance Of the
Glasgow "holdup" the News states
that a certain farmer was confronted
with a price of S4S5.OO on a header
binder in Glasgow and that he went
to Nashua and bought the same binder
for S435.00. The Courier has taken
the trouble to investigate this claim
and we find that not a merchant in
Glasgow is asking S4S5.O0 for a
header binder, the highest price asked
being $4,000.
What we did find is that the dealers
in farm implements in this city are
not making anywhere near rs per
zen on their harvesters. W. looked
up the invoices of n firm in the
city who sell a popular make header
binder and harvester and find that the
header cost them S365.00. They are
selling this header for S427.5O leaving
them a profit of $4,000. Out OF this
profit they must pay for setting up
the machine, drayage and in many in
stances pay a man to go out with the
machine and see that same is work
ing properly. Thus it will be noted
nat out of a scant Is per cent profit
the local merchants still have many
items of expense to cover before get
ting down to net profit on the trans
action. A comparison of the price:
of the other dealers in farm machiner,
in the city proved that the above wa:
a fair sample Of the profits made O
these machines and we feel sure tina
no one will claim that Is to 20 pc
cent is an eXorbitant profit on thi
class of business.
We do not aim to use up a grea

GIFTED ARTIST TO
APPEAR TUESDAY
Miss Marie Mccormick Will
Give Voice Recital at the
Orpheum Theater.

"The Songs of the Allies" is the
name of the program Marie McCor-
mick has chosen to introduce the ma
tional as well as the representative
folk songs of the countries at war in
Europe. She believes that, since our
w boys have Joined with those
across the sea in the fight for world
democracy, that we are all anxious
to know more about the people with
whom we are associated. Their songs
of patriotism as we'll as their roman
tic feelings as expressed in their folk
songs display the greatest emotion of
the peoples. So she has taken those
which she explains and sings to her
w accompaniment. Miss Mccormick
has used this program at many Of
the camps in the same manner and
has been enthusiastically received.
The Japanese anthem is most unusual
according to our standards and the
feeling while patriotic is very rever-
ent.
The program which will be given
next Tuesday evening at the Orpheum
under the auspices of the Women's
Patriotic Association includes the fol-
lowing:
Star Spangled Banner, Dixie
America.
La Marsaillaise, Malbrough -
France.
La Braban Conne-Belgium.
Garibaldi's hymn, Santa Lucia

Miss Mccormick appeared recently
at Fargo, and the Fargo Forum in
speaking Of her finished program
said: Miss Mccormick since leav-
ing Fargo, some few years since, has
gracefully passed from the amateur
into that class of professionals which
knows no dissatisfaction, but is
ever learning, ever growing and ever
commanding new attention for its
authoritative reading Of the works of
the masters or composition and for
its supurb musicianship."
