SURGICAL DRESSINGS '
WORK DISCONTINUED
WAR SAVINGS STAMP
PLEDGES MUST Be PAID
Two Million Six Hundred Thousand
Dollars Worth of War Savings
Stamps Must Be Sold by Dec.
81, Says State Director.

1.-THE sum to be raised by the sales
of war savings stamps before Decem-
ber 81, viewed from one angle, looks
big-it is $2,6O4.621, and it looks
small when viewed from another"
said State Director Harry w. Turner
recently.
Assuming Montana has popula-
ton of 100000. This amount repre-
sents $4.34 from each person. 1t must
be done. Pledges must be collected.
"To offset possible delinquencies
and possible defaults in drought stric-
ken counties, new and additional sales
must be made.
"There is no doubt that there are
in this state not less than 1000 indi-
viduals-men and women-who have
not yet taken their limit and who
are able to do so. The limit cost in
November is $S44. If but one-half
Of these people were shown the i'm
portance of the matter-their respon-
sibility in the matter of this war saw
ings loan, there might be had from
this source alone 81 $685. 900 in addi-
ton to the pledges now unpaid.
"As the time has now come when
it appears somewhat doubtful if col
lection on pledges alone will enable
us to reach our quota most urgent
appeal should now be made to the
class referred to. They should be con-
vinced that children and wage-earners
alone cannot raise the sum necessary
that it is their duty to come for
ward to help Montana make up its
quota. That it is essential that Mon
tana's splendid record in these mat
ters be maintained. This class should
be told that they are the Preserves
to be called up at the critical moment
to issue the victory Of the war saw
ings loan. Will you not make a sys
tematic effort along these lines?

KILLED IN ACCIDENT.

Arthur Green, aged 68 years, was
killed last Friday on the road near
his place nine miles north of Thoeny,
when his team became frightened at
sed the old gentleman on the road and
an automobile. 1t is reported that
several Canadians in a Ford car pas
the auto frightened his team which
started to run and turned the hay
rack over on top of him. The parties
in the car proceeded on their way un-
til spectator of the affair forced
them to go back and release the un-
fortunate man from his perilous po-
sition, but when the task was accom-
plished it was found that the victim
of the accident was beyond assistance
and he died soon afterwards.-Hins-

Ample Supplies on Hand to Meet
All Needs, Red Cross Is
Advised.
Much OTHER WORK IS NEEDED
Various Kinds of Relief Work Will
Keep Chapters Busy for Some
Time to Come.

Mrs. Leo B. Coleman, chairman of
the Valley county chapter of the Red
Cross, has just received the following
letter, dated November 9, from nor
thern division headquarters at Minne-
apolis:
"a telegram was received from
Washington this morning which said
in effect that all surgical dressing
work must be stopped. Chapters are
asked to hold, until further notice,
heir finished supplies of surgical dres-
sings at their chapter workrooms, and
are assured that in our store houses
in France, and in this country, there
are ample supplies of surgical dres-
sings to meet any contingency which
may arise. Therefore, please call this
to the attention of your surgical dres-
sing workers. Have them pack care
fully the dressings and the material
on hand, so that it will be in good
, condition if wanted in the future.
"The Red Cross owes very much
gratitude and appreciation to the wo-
men who have worked so much and
SO steadily in our surgical dressing
departments, and we want to ask now
that those women will not discontinue
absolutely the relief work which they
have been doing, but will stand will
ing to help other forms of relief work
in such ways as they can best manage.
Surgical dressings are the only ac-
tivity to be interrupted at this time.
The other work will continue as be-
fore, and the surgical dressing work.
ers will no doubt find that their ef-
forts in other departments will be as
greatly appreciated as in their own
departments. ', .......
"It is anticipated that there will be
a sudden and increased demand for
refuge garments. Therefore, it might
be we'll to turn their attention in this
direction.

tion."

Miller.

Friends of Mrs. Harry Miller were
greatly saddened this morning to learn
that this loyal teacher who has been
helping out at the Central hospital
during the influenza crisis passed
away at that hospital at late hour
last night.
Mrs. Miller has been teaching at
billiard school near Whatley and after
the schools were closed several weeks
ago she volunteered her services in
Glasgow wherever needed. She had
been working tirelessly at the Central
hospital as cook until about two weeks
ago when she contracted the influen-
"a. She seemed to be getting over the
disease in very easy manner and left
the hospital about week ago, going
to the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. F. o. Rogers, in the south part
of Glasgow.
She had been home but half an hour
when she was taken with pneumonia
and was rushed back to the hospital
where she grew steadily worse until
the time of her death last night.
Mrs. Miller was born 81 years ago
in Wisconsin and has been in Mon
tana the past five years. She had
a homestead near Baylor where she
had made her home except when teach
ing. She is survived by her husband,
Harry Miller, who arrived this morn
ing from southern Kansas, and by her
little seven-year-old daughter Hazel
Her mother and father, Mr.. and Mrs
F. O. Rodgers, live in Glasgow and
her brother Ira Rodgers lives in Kan
sas.
Although the funeral arrangements
are not complete it has been decided
to bury the deceased here although
the time has not yet been set.

|SLATTERY LEADING BY
10 VOTES FOR SENATOR
Race Is Very Close and Official
Canvass Will Be Needed to
Decide Outcome.

Up to last night the latest returns
on state senator in this county, with
all precincts reporting, gave John L.
Slattery, republican, lead of ten
votes over his non-partisan opponent,
A. U. Sand.
The county commissioners will meet
today as a canvassing board and it
will take an official count to definite
ly decide just what Mr.. Slattery's lead
will be, but it is thought that the
count will make little change in the
figures as they now stand.
On returns received no changes
have resulted since last weeks issue
of the Courier. C. w. Powell is cleo
ted sheriff by a handsome majority
over his opponent, B. S. Durrell, and
w. H. Mann has been elected county
surveyor over Smith.
County Attorney C. D. Borton has
beeh returned to that office by hand
some majority and c. E. Peterson was
reelected county coroner over Stew
art.
Miss Nellie Johonnott was elected
without opposition as county super
intendent of schools.
Unless the soldier vote makes some
changes, which is unlikely, C. H. Pip
pin has been elected county commits
sioner over julius Waber by a small
majority and Arnold, Mead and Sekt-
nan, all non-partisan candidates, have
been elected as members of the house
of representatives.
! c. F. Turner has been elected coun-
ty treasurer over C. r. St. Clair and
Oscar Cutting clerk of court over T.
NJ. Patten.
H. G. Wolking defeated W. E.
Rhodes, dark-horse non-partisan can
didate, for count auditor by hand
some majority, the Glasgow precincts
alone giving Wolking vote of 346 to
his opponents 81.
Horace o. Gamas defeated A. M.
Behner for county assessor by heavy
majority.
o. P. Roop was elected public ad-
ministrator over Milo Hummel.
G. w. Rapp and Harry Beverly
were elected justices of the peace of
Glasgow township and w. A. Baynham
and A. H. Whitbread constables.

five DEATHS The PAST
WEEK FROM INFLUENZA
Plague Continues Unabated and Five
Succumb During Week.-Disease
Spreading in Glasgow.

The condition of the epidemic of
influenza in Glasgow and vicinity is
unimproved. In fact the number of
cases have been somewhat increased
though we are informed through DR.
Simpkins, the local health officer, that
they appear to be of milder nature
In Hinsdale there are number of
new cases reported. It was thought
the disease was completely stamped
out at that point as it had been over
two weeks since any new cases were
reported.
The schools here will remain clos.
ed another week at least, and possibly
longer, unless the situation is decid.
edly improved.

BY order of President Wilson, Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder has di-
rected the cancellation of all outstand-

A small number of men in eastern
states commenced entraining at a. m.

Boys Not Enrolling
To Help In Field Work

While Portland seems to be enroll
ing boys by the hundreds who agree to
90 into the fields during the summer to
help in harvesting the crops, there
seems to be nothing doing along this
line in Salem.
j. W. Brewer of Portland, who has
the state campaign in charge, has not
co-operated with any one in this city
or made any suggestions as to how the
boys should be enrolled. County Super
intendent Smith sent Mr.. Brewer a
list of the boys in the county outside
of Salem who were between the ages
of 16 and 81 years.
Sometime ago Mr.. Brewer sent out
word that the schools and Y. NJ. C. A.
and other institutions would assist in
enrolling the boys for the farm work,
but no instructions have come from
headquarters and although today is the
first day for enrolling, nothing is be-
ing done here.

MILL YARDS WILL BE
FILLED WITH SURPLUS
Order Fixing Number Of Cars,
Does Not Correspond
With Lumber Cut

If the embargo order for fir, recent.
.ly issued by the government s prior
ity board becomes effective, the out
put of the larger mills in the north
west will be cut fully 33 per cent. This
order provides that the lumber com
panies are to receive two cars for gen
eral orders to one for the shipment Of
government lumber.
Many mills in this part of the conn
try have already on hand a. large sup
ply of side cut which they will be I'M
able to sell as but few mills run 33
per cent of the long timber required
by the government. With the rule of
one car to the government and two
cars for the sale of general orders, the
yards will soon pile up with the side
cut.
eff the order is enforced, it will
cut the working capacity of many of
the larger mills in the northwest from
80 to 40 per cent, f" said Oliver j. Ny
ers, local manager Of the Spaulding
Logging Co. "The effect will be to
leave the large amount of side cut in
the yards and no means of transporta-
ton. Unless the trees are especially
selected for the large lumber needed
by the government, mo- mill can cut in
the proportion as proposed by the pri-
GRITTY board"
The Spaulding Logging Co, is now
turning out lumber for the Hog Is
land shipyards near Philadelphia and
for the goNerntnent contracts at
Orange, Texas.

BURGLARS RANSACK
TWO SALEM STORES
Went Through Confectionery
Store and Also the
Hunt Market

Burglars forced an entrance to the
Fl. W. Roberts confectionery store at
405 South 18th, and to the Hunt Meat
Market, corner Leslie and 18th.
Tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, chewing
gum bread and candy, amounting in all
to over $40 in value, were taken from
the Roberts confectionery. From the
Hunt market several dollars worth of
weiners, bologna and bread was taken.
Several hoboes were rounded up in
that vicinity and brought in the police
station for examination this morning.
They disclaimed all knowledge of tn
theft and claimed they had just came
in from California during the night
and were on their way to Portland
An examination of their clothes and
effects failed to bring to light any
thing to connect them with the burg
larry and they were released, with the
exception of one, who said his name
was James Gallagher, who was turned
over to tie sherifT's office for exam
nation as to his standing in the regis
tration and draft laws.
Police officials believe it was the
work of local parties and are investi-
eating certain clues.
