KILLED IN ACTION.

Word was received last Friday to
the effect that William Nelson. and
Ray David, were killed in action in
France the first week in October
This comes as a sad blow to their
relatives and friends, to whom deep
sympathy is extended.

side near Hinsdale, enlisted in the Mi.
litia three years ago, and at the time
of his death was a member of that
service. He has brother in the u
S. marines. The other members OF
the family all live near Hinsdale. ,'
Ray David, brother of John Da-
vid of Vandalia, who was also killed
in action, was we'll known young
homesteader living near Hinsdale

Glasgow Physician Promoted o. Day

The many friends of DR.. Mark D.
Hoyt will be delighted to learn that
the genial doctor has received COM
mission as major in the United States
army, receiving his notice of promo
tion on the day that the armistice was
signed. The following letter received
by Leo B. Coleman from the doctor
will be of especial interest to DR..
Hoyt's many friends:
November 27, 1918.
My Dear Leo: Am loafing this af-
ternoon so will take the opportunity
of chatting with you awhile.
When l got back to the base hos
pital my majority was awaiting me
and of course was tickled about it as
had an idea it wouldn't go through.
I knew l had been recommended and
had taken the physical examination
and passed that earlier, then heard
nothing more, but I was promoted
the 11th of November, the day the
war stopped, and there will be no
more, SO you see 1 got the last car.
It brings lots of privileges with it as
to duty rooms, mess, etc., and let's me
out of the rough stuff. I think I am
a very fortunate old stiff, don't you :?
= am working about half day here
as temporary chief of the orthopedic
department while Capt. Owen is away
on leave. I was able to take it over
without any trouble owing to my Won
derful bone experience At. Evreux and
rather like it anyway; these bad
fractures are very interesting and pre-
sent some difficult mechanical prob
lens that when solved give one lot
of satisfaction. 's.''-
Of course our butcher shop work is
over, I am glad to say, forever in my
lifetime. It was horrible and every
one operating at the front says the
same thing. They hope never to be
compelled to do it again, but it was
necessary and l am very glad to have

State Director Price Regulation
Raymond Hough Urges VOL
untary Conservation.
MUST STILL FEED EUROPE
Food Must Be Shipped Regularly or
Millions of People Will Perish
- From Starvation-Not Enough
Wheat to Last,

Raymond Hough, director of the
Price Regulation division of the food
administration of Montana, was at
Glasgow on Thursday in regard to
food matters. In the afternoon VAL
ley County Food Administrator Jones
called a meeting of the retailers and
Mr.. Hough gave talk of interest to
them. Mr.. Hough in explaining the
present food situation, said to Cour-
ier reporter that one of the big things
of the war has been the way the
American people have "come through"
on the food conservation.
my present trip is made under in
structions of my chief, Mr.. Atkinson,
for the purpose of getting into per-
sonal touch with as many portions of
the state as possible. We find a some-
what general feeling that the war be-
ing over, surely conservation of food
is no longer needed. We NEED all
possible avenues of publicity to i'm
press on the minds of the people that
our job is only go per cent completed.
We have won a military victory but
unless we can be the means of get
ting food to our allies and the lib
Grated peoples we will not have won
the war in the sense and for the pur-
poses the American people went into
it.
It is eight long months before the
starved and low rationed people of
Europe can raise a crop. Until that
time comes they are very largely de-
pendent on the people of the United
States. Every pound of food sent
across will be paid for. 1t is not a
question of giving but of providing the
food for their purchase. If ten or fif-
teen million people starve "over
there" this winter we would after
ward rightly say "why did not our
authorities tell US about this. We
could have gotten along with less and
kept them going" So that is what
we are telling you now.
"As for Germany, Americans are
under no illusions. The men, yes and
women, who are whining for food
there are the same men and women
who put American prisoners of war in
cages, who spit on them as they pas
sed in the street and who worked many
of them to death in their mines and
factories.
"If we allow the Germans to buy
food it will not be because of any
sentiment. It will be first because we
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1918-12-20

simply cannot allow ourselves to
reach the level Of the Huns. We claim
to be human beings and we will not
allow other human beings to starve to
death if we can prevent it. Our own
armed defenders set us the pace in
that respect. It was an American
gunner who leaped overheard to save
a German from submarine which the
American boat had just sunk after the
German sub had failed to sink the
gunboat. We can do no less.
"There is another and sterner rea-
son why we may permit the Germans
to buy food in the markets of the
world and take it to Germany in their
own bottoms. Germany must pay the
bill to the last penny for the material
damage she has inflicted. To do so
she will have to have some sort of
government. Her people will have to
be put to work to earn money to pay
this bill. In her present circumstan-
ces she faces anarchy. Famine breeds
anarchy. She will have to secure
enough food somewhere to keep her
people from starvation so that some
sort of government may be formed.
We have succeeded in overthrowing
autocracy, We shall have to give the
necessary assistance to see that sta.
BILE government is set up in its place
or we have not made the world any
safer.
"Our total annual exports of food
stuffs in pre-war times was about six
million tons. In 1917 we raised that
to meet the needs of the occasion to
nearly IL million tons. If we finish
the job we tackled, if we will fulfill
the promise Mr.. Hoover made in our
name, we must this year July l,
1918, to July l, 1919) send across at
least 20 million tons of food stuffs.
"That is why you see the signs
around, "Don't Stop Saving Food
Nearly all regulations against quan.
tity purchasing have been removed
But all are asked to conserve as ia,
as practical. We are told to eat what
we need but to please avoid waste. In
spite of our large wheat crop, in spite
of some surplus in Australia, India
and the Argentine, there is not enough
wheat in the world for all the people
until the next crop. That is why We
are asked to continue saving food
That we may finish the big job.

war is finally written there will be

Membership Drive.

Chairman D. S. Williams of the
Valley County Red Cross Member
ship committee announces that there
has been splendid response to the
call for members in this county to
date, and especially in the city Of
Glasgow. The final effort in the big
drive will be made today, Saturday
and Monday when soliciting commit
tees will call on every home in the
county and see to it that the men,
bership flag appears in the window.
If you have been overlooked to date,
beat it to the first Red Cross agency
and add your name to the membership
honor roll.
The following letter from w. P.
Dawson, chairman of the war council
of the American Red Cross, gives you
some idea of the magnitude of the
work yet to be done by the Red Cross
organization:
"The problems of reconstruction, in
volving feeding and caring for the
distressed civilian populations of Eu-
rope are of such magnitude, that nec-
essarily they must be met very large
ly by the governments of our allies,
with whom our own government will
cooperate.
"The great tasks of fighting tu-
berculosis, promoting child welfare
and caring for refugees with which
the American Red Cross has concern
ed itself SO effectively in France, Italy
and Belgium, will at an early date be
assumed by the governments, the Red
Cross organizations and the relief
societies of those countries.
"The war program of the American
Red Cross will thus steadily merge
itself into peace program. The wake
Of the war will, however, reveal the
prevalence of disease, and give rise
to epidemics and emergencies which,
in all parts of the world, will call for
unlimited voluntary efforts, the cut
ting of red tape and the manifesto
tions of those qualities of human SYM
pathy which government action can
not display.
For the completion of its war work
and for the institution of its peace
program, the Red Cross is fortunately
in healthy financial condition. What
the American Red Cross needs now is
not so much contributions of money
as the continued devotion and loyalty
Of its members. Annual membership
involves the payment of only one dol.
