GRANDLY CELEBRATED
LARGE CROWD ASSEMBLIES FROM ALL PARTS OF
COUNTY TO WITNESS SANE OBSERVANCE OF
FOURTH OF JULY-FIRE DEPARTMENT
GAVE SPECTACULAR RUN.

The absence of firecrackers and TOW
cannons and the usual noise produc-
ers that were formerly used to cele-
brate the Fourth of July in years gone
by marked the observance of Inde-
pendence day in Glasgow yesterday.
The day was celebrated in a sane
and appropriate manner beftting the
present times and a large crowd of
out OF town visitors gathered in the
city to take part in the days festiv-
tiles.
The first event scheduled on the
program was the parade which oc-
Cured at 1O:30 in the morning which
was one of the important and most
thoroughly enjoyed features of the
celebration and was marked by a
number of handsome floats. The pro-
cession was headed by the Glasgow
Fire department followed by the Home
Guard band.
The next in line was beautifully
decorated truck loaded with members
of the Patriotic association who made
an excellent showing with their nat
ty uniforms. The Red Cross also
made an impressive display with a
number of the members of the local
chapter in automobiles headed by a
specially decorated machine bearing
large Red Cross.
Several automobile loads of men,
bers Of the Valley County Farm
bureau also were in line and the
parade as whole was most pleasing.
In the afternoon the people were
entertained by a tug of war, a pie
regaled with band concert and were
eating contest, auto barrel race and
other sports. And in the evening the
band again discoursed music at the
new bowery dance pavilion across
from the Rundle building which was
erected by the Fourth of July COM
mittee
A most interesting event was the
spectacular display of the local fire
department which made record run
to a fire on the north side and the
boys displayed their usual speed by
reaching the fire in two minutes and
forty seconds after the alarm was
turned in, stream of water being
turned on and the fire quenched.
The days program was concluded
by grand dance at the bowery under
the auspices of the local Red Cross
after which July Fourth 1918 passed
into history as one long to be remem-
bered.

MANY THOUSANDS OF
GOpHERS REJNG KILLED

County Agricultural Agent Stebbins
is one of the busiest men in Valley
county and there is not day passes
that he is not doing something for
the benefit of the farmer. A big
fight has beel waged against the
gopher pest and will be continued in
definitely.
In reference to the war on gophers
Mr.. Stebbins made the following
statement this-week to member of
the Courier staff:
"Since the opening of the gopher
campaign, about the middle of Feb
ruary, there has been put out thus
far more than sixty-fe tons
of poisoned oats in the effort
to eradicate this pest from our
fields.
$50 effective has been the poisoned
bait that there is no sign of abate-
ment in the campaign up to the pres
eent time. Q nthe contrary the demand
for the bait has increased, as those
who were at first skeptical of good
results are no wcoming in for the
poisoned oats after having seen for
themselves what it is doing for the
farmer. The demand for it has now
gone far beyon dthe original esti-
mate Of what would be used in this
county. and in order to meet this in
creased demand, the county agent has
ordered large quantity of the mix
ture prepared.
Delay in getting oats here on ac-
count OF the extra number of troop
trains having the righ of way cleared,
was responsible for the county agent
being completely out of the poisoned
oats, the first time since the campaign
opened. The first week in july will
find him prepared however to de-
liver the poisoned oats to the farmer
so that he can continue the cam
paign.
Several large orders from the
north country took away the last few
tons on hand, leaving the mixing
room bare. One man bought the
sweeping off the floor and paid the
full price as proof of his faith in
it. He bought lot of it in the spring
and it did the work better than he had
any idea it would. Another man from
the reservation said to took SIS worth
OF raw strychnine mixed with sugar,
last year to convince him it was no
use to try to kill off the gopher, but
that it took him just SO worth of the
county agents mixture. to prove that
the gopher was whipped; provided, of
course the farmer kept after him sys-
tematically. He bought forty pounds
and said he was going to fertilize his
farm with dead gophers.
Serious complaint has been made
that the odor of the dead, gophers is a
menace to health. The odor of a dead
gopher is offensive, of course, but it is
not disease-bearing. This is a dead
gopher; not sick one.
"No one loves live gopher, but
everybody loves dead one; the dead
er he is the better; so, why worry?"

Fears a Shortage in Power for
Munitions Plants.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Authority for
the president to take over and con-
struct power transmission lines and
water power sites will be asked of
congress directly after the recess.
Judge Thetus Sims, chairman of the
house interstate committee, was to
meet with officials of the war indus
tries board today to draw an amend
ment to the water power bill. grant
ing the president this power.
A serious shortage of power in the
great munitions and ordnance centers,
particularly in the east, makes the
step necessary, officials of the war in
dustries board have told Sims.
Two plans to furnish these centers
more power thru long distance trans
mission have already been worked
out.
The first is to build electric generat-
ing plants at the mouth of Pennsyl-
vania coal mines to make power which
would be carried two hundred miles
or more on high tension wires to the
great munition centers of Pittsburgh
and The small arms factories in Con-
necticut- These plants would use
mountains of refuse coal which has
been piling up for years because it is
Improbable to transport it.
The second plan is to take over ex-
listing water power sites or build dams
and create new ones to generate long
distance power.
There are sites which can be taken
over in Ohio. Minnesota, and Arkan-
sas. but it is doubtful if sites could
he built in time to be of use in the
present war.

for the upper limit It appears there
will be an effort to extend it to at

that congress finally will do other than

The sC!e announcement Of Bakers
on the subject is that his proposal
does not run 10 to 45; and that he
will present his plan to congress next

tendency here today to be critical of
