MEASURE WOULD RAISE
ARMY ENLISTMENT Age
Secretary of War Baker Asks
Congress to Make Man of
Fifty-Five Eligible.

Another move toward full utiliza-
ton of the country's man-power was
made this week when Secretary Bak-
er sent to congress the draft of q bill
proposing to raise the maximum age
limit for voluntary enlistment in the
army from 40 to IS years. All men
over 40 so enlisted would be assigned
to non-combatant service.
In a letter to Speaker Clark, ask
ing that the bill be pushed, Secretary
Baker said:
"Every man above the age Of 40
years who is enlisted in non-combatant
branches of the services will make
available for duty with the line troops
a man within the prescribed age limit
for all troops.
"Many men whose long experience
as mechanics and artisans will make
them partly valuable to the various
staff corps and departments may be
thus obtained instead of younger men
without such experience and the eff
cheney Of the staff corps and the de-
partments thus will be increased"
There probably are 10000 men
between the ages of 40 and 50 and
many thousands of them already at
tested their desire to serve by bonn
harding the department with applica..
tions. While the great majority Of
the men in this class undoubtedly will
be restrained from enlisting by fam.
lily and business ties, the number at
liberty to join the colors is expected
to be more than sufficient to meet
the purposes in view.

himself for registration on the day
set. In such cases the person who
Is i'll should cause some competent
person to apply at the office Of the
local board for a registration card
and for authority to fill it out. If
satisfied that the request is bona fide,
the member Of the board to whom the
request is made will deputize the per-
son applying for the card to make out
the card and the registratrar's report
on the back. When completed, the
card should be mailed by the regis
trant or delivered by his agent to the
local board having jurisdiction of the
area in which he permanently resides,
and, as in the case Of absenttes, a self
addressed stamped envelope should be
enclosed for the rtturn to the regis
trant of his registration certificate.
Order Number Method.
On the day following that set for
registration, the chief clerk of the
local board is required to number
each and every registration card then
in his possession, beginning with mum.
Der one and continuing consecutively
until all have been numbered. For the
purpose of assigning such registration
numbers, the cards will not be alpha
betically arranged, but will be taken
in consecutive order without regard to
any arrangement of the cards. Sub
sequent regulations will prescribe the
method and manner of determining
the "order" numbers to be assigned
to each card.
At a time to be designated by the
provost marshal general later, ques-
tionnaires will be mailed to each
registrant following the lines laid
down in 1917.
No Excuse for Delinquency.
The places of registration, an
nounced for this county by the local
board, will be open from z a. m. to
g p. m. on June S, in order to give
every person required to register an
opportunity to do so.
Outside of Glasgow the following
places and registrars have been desig-
mated: A. B. Mcintyre. Oswego; Roy
Gordon, Nashua; L. L. Kelly, Opheim;
H. o. Iuras, Barr; F. B. Gillette, Hins.

COUNTY FARM BUREAU
ORGANIZATION PLANS
Representative Farmers of VAL
ley County Held Conference
in Glasgow Wednesday.

Plans for June campaign in each
rural community in Valley county
which will line up the county with a
completely organized farm bureau,
were discussed and adopted at a meet
ing held on Wednesday at the office
of M. E. Stebbins, the county agent
Representatives of farming sections
met at the invitation of the extension
department of the agricultural COL
lege and established the temporary or
ganization. NJ. L. Wilson of Bozeman,
state county agent leader, was the
representative here of the United
States department of agriculture and
the extension department of the COL
lege at this conference.
Fourteen Montana counties are now
thoroughly organized through the
farm bureau, and before midsummer
it is the expectation that ten more
will be added to the list. The farm
bureau, which is spreading in every
agricultural state of the union. and
which is now complete in approxi-
mately $50 farming counties, is the
organization fostered by the depart
ment of agriculture as its medium of
contact with farmers.
~ AVA CIC1oOI VI ANdSuud was ST.
lected to act as temporary president
Of the Valley County Farm bureau,
and Mrs. Blanch Phillips of Tampico
was chosen as temporary secretary
treasurer. The other members of the
temporary organization committee are
Peter A. West of Glasgow, William
de Messemaker of Tampico and Noble
Donaldson of Glasgow. This commit
tee decided to hold series of meet
ings in June, beginning not later than
June Is if possible, in about ten rural
communities of Valley county, with
outside patriotic speakers attending
and assisting at the gatherings.
Most of the business, of the day was
transacted in the afternoon, after the
farmers and the outside visitors had
been entertained at lunch by the Glas-
gov chamber of commerce and agri-
culture, represented by the president
Attorney John A. Goodrich, and the
secretary, L. E. Jones. One important
step taken was the selection of dis
trict organization committees COM
posed of three representative farmers
in each of ten farming communities
in Valley county, who will act with
the central committee in conducting
the organization campaign in the
county.
There is widespread interest
throughout the county in the farm
bureau plan, although the information
and understanding as to it's scope anc

VALLEY COUNTY Makes
CLEAN THREE BAGGER
RESULTS IN SECOND RED CROSS DRIVE SHOWS
GLASGOW WENT SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS
OVER QUOTA FOR COUNTY WHILE VAL
LEY COUNTY TRIPLES AMOUNT ASKED.

The state manager of the second
Red Gross drive put Valley county's
quota at $4,000 and Glasgow at 81 600
and both Glasgow and Valley county
ran true to form on their records for
patriotism with Glasgow reporting
$4,000 or 81 800 more than her quota
and 5000 more than the quota asked
from the entire county, and Valley
county came across with $6,151.85 or
more than three times her quota.
Thoeny Breaks Record.
Chairman ]. w. Wedum in charge
of the drive in the county expressed
himself as proud Of the noble showing
made in Valley county and he laid par
ticular stress on the returns from
Thoeny precinct, which was thought
would not make much of record. But
the little precinct of Thoeny with the
able management of j. NJ. Thoeny as
sisted by Attorney Van Wagner re-
ported the amount of $2O8.2O as her
share in taking care of our boys on
the battle fronts and in cantonments.
Thoeny was given a quota of $25 but
she fooled the book makers and made
a return of nearly ten times that
asked of her.
If the rest of the United States had
answered the call as literally as did
Valley county, that great and humane
organization, The American Red
Cross, would have over three million
dollars to use for tour boys" The
same record has been made in every
drive that has been carried out for
funds of any sort to help in the war
in Valley county and the end is not
yet as Glasgow and Valley county can
always be counted upon to "Always
Go Over the Top"

FARMERS WARNED TO
TO LOOK OUT FOR PEST
Little White Maggot Menace to
Wheat Crop and Investiga-
tion is Being Made.

A little known pest of wheat has
appeared in various parts of Montana
this spring and is causing some appre-
hension on the part of the entomolo-
gist at the experiment station at
Bozeman. So far, reports of the occur
renee have been received from the
following counties and new reports
are coming in every day: Meagher,
Saltwater, Yellowstone, Carbon, Mus
selshell, Cascade, Chouteau, Fergus.
Rosebud and Big Horn.
The damage is being caused by a
white maggot about one-fourth of an
inch in length which bores into the
wheat plants at the side and eats at
the growing center and, after destroy
ing the plant, crawls out and goes to
another plant. In this way patches
in the wheat fields are being killed
out in some instances the patches run
together and the whole fields are
killed.
Unfortunately, there is no remedy
known for this insect and from its
nature nothing that can be. done at
this time. An effort is being made
to secure information which will be
of value in preventing injury another
year. This being a new pest, we have
no experience to guide US and the in.
sect must be studied,

GLASGOW GIVES MOST
PATRIOTIC CELEBRATION
COURT HOUSE SQUARE THRONGED WITH CITI-
ZENS OF VALLEY COUNTY TO PAY RESPECTS
TO MEMORY OF NATIONS SOLDIER DEAD
DAN MCKAY ORATOR OF DAY.

Decoration day was most fittingly
and appropriately observed in Glas-
gov and one of the largest crowds
that has ever visited the city were
present and enjoyed the program ar
ranged by the local committee.
A full days program was arranged
with church services being. given in
the forenoon and ended with services
at the Glasgow cemetery in the even
ing. The most suspicious part of the
arrangements for the day was the
parade which was considered one of
the largest ever given in Glasgow.
The Home Guards band which led
the parade made an excellent showing
in their uniforms of khaki and the
members of the Home Guards that fol-
lowed presented fine military aspect
as they marched with heads erect in
honor of our soldier dead.
One of the most impressive and i'm
posing organizations participating in
the parade was the Women's Patriotic
association with their natty costumes
as were also the members of the Glas-
gov Red Cross auxiliary which turned
out in full force. The presence of a
large number of school children in the
procession added touch of youth in
contrast to the few remaining old vet
Grams of the civil war who followed
in carriages.
After traversing the main streets of
the city the pageant ended at the court
house grounds where an excellent pat
riotic program was given which was
featured by a most able address for
the occasion by Dan Mckay, orator
of the day. who Maid a hiph tribute tn
