ty-three were passed for Red Cross
service as part of the quota to be
furnished by Montana.
Mrs. Florence Ford of Glasgow was
one of those passed for service with
the Red Cross.
"The quota for Montana to be fur
nished for the Red Cross by January
|, 1919 is 249," said Miss Clarke,
"and the fact that at the recent ex-

DR.. GARDNER TO SPEAK
TO GLASGOW CITIZENS
Representative of National Food
Administration Making
Tour of State.

DR.. H. c. Gardiner, a lecturer for
the United States food administration
and the national council of defense,
will make twenty day speaking tour
through the northern part of Montana
ably on the night of June Z. DR.. Gard
in June, opening at Fort Benton, prob
lner will appear in Glasgow on or
about the 18th of June.
DR.. Gardiner, known as one of the
best public speakers in the state of
Montana, is a man unusually we'll in
formed on war topics in general. For
many months he has been intimately
connected with the United States food
administration and other government
departments, and has had the advant-
age OF association with men close to
the working of the great fight against
German autocracy. He has a force
full and interesting manner of delivery
that gives his hearers a keen appre-
ciation of the situations as he pre-
sents them.
"When one hears the actual truth
about the German system of warfare
knows their aims and ambitions: and
realizes some of the truth of German
atrocities, he is not content with obey-
ing rules of the various governmental
departments; he demands that he be
allowed to do more; that he be allowed
to do everything humanity in his power
to end the power of this scourge to
the human race" says DR.. Gardiner.
Few speakers have the power of
holding an audience as does DR.. Gardi-
ner. He wastes no time in generali-
ties or theorisms. He plunges at once
into his subject and talks of difficult
world situations as if they were the
simplest affairs in mind.
Local food administration and coun-
Gil of defense representatives are
working together to make the meeting
success.

Chabot the remaining 5000 of the loan
until threats Of prosecution had been
made.

that Chabot has been paid in full Of
the amount of the loan asked and that
the. Miller Brothers had sent Chabot
check for the amount due and that

Brothers.
