DRY CABARET DANCE
GIVEN BY CHAPTER NO. 7
Helena, Telephone Society to
Purchase Regimental Colors,
Valley County Take Notice.

Helena, May 10.-Every county and
to join in presenting the Second Mon.
tana regiment, now known as the
163rd infantry, with a set of colors.
connected with this opportunity. A
few weeks ago Helena Chapter No. Z
Of the Telephone society of the Noun
the company, gave a "dry" cabaret
used for the purchase of regimental
colors for the Montana regiment. The
receipts amounted to $142.8O This
a not enough to purchase a full set
of colors, but it was a good start,
After considering the matter, the
chapter notified the Montana Council
of Defense that the money was sub
ject to the order of the council, to be
used either in the purchase of the
colors or to be devoted to any other
worthy cause the council suggested.
1t was suggested to the donors that
their contribution be considered a
nucleus of a fund with which to pur-
chase the colors; that other towns and
communities be invited to send in con-
tribution for the same purpose, lust
a small amount from each; that the
colors be purchased when the money
was in hand; that they be given into
the custody of the governor, to be by
him presented to the regiment at the
first convenient opportunity. To this
suggestion the chapter has responded
affirmatively, and the opportunity is
thus offered all Montana to join in the
purchase of the colors.
The Montana regiment, as is we'll
known, is not now an entity, it's COM
panies being Incorporated with other
regiments, but there will come a time
when it will be altogether, and then
Montana can as a whole present the
colors as a result of the plan pro-
posed.
Contributions for the purpose
named may be sent the Montana
Council of Defense, Helena.

MEN ON fURL0UCH HAVE
TO PAY THEIR own BILLS
Appropriation Expressly Pro.
vides That Government is not
Responsible for Hospital Care.

An inquiry has been received by the
division director of civilian relief as
to whether the government is respon-
| sible for the payment of hospital bills
| of soldiers and sailors if they are TAX
en- sick while on furlough and cannot
be sent back to the camp or base
hospital.
The appropriation made in 1917
for the hospital are of officers and
men, expressly provided that it should
not apply to men in the service who
were treated in private hospitals or
by civilian physicians while on fur
Tough. Therefore the policy of the
government is not to pay hospital
bills of soldiers and sailors taken sick
while on furlough.
If the hospital wishes to collect such
a bill, it must collect from the patient
and not from the government. How
ever, if the hospital wishes to test
the rule, it should write to the office
of the surgeon-general Of the United
States army (if the man is in the
ARMY or to the bureau of medicine
and surgery (if the man is in the
navy, stating the facts and urging
reasons why the charge should be paid
by the patient. The case will then
be passed upon by the auditor for
he war department or by the auditor
for the navy department.

RED CROSS FUNDS ARE NOT
USED IN MEDICAL RESEARCH
individuals Donate Amount Re.
quested for Experimental
Work by Army Surgeons.

Harvey D. Gibson, general manager
of the American Red Cross, has is
sued the following statement in a
telegram received at the northern d.
vision office:
Considerable public and private
criticism has been made of an approp-
ration of the Red Cross in August,
1917, for medical research work in
France. because partly involved in
this work is the EXPERIMENTATION upon
living animals for the purpose of find
ing methods Of prevention and reme-
dies for new and strange diseases Of
soldiers.
This appropriation was made at a
time of emergency upon recommenda-
ton of army medical officers and Of
a number Of the best scientists in this
country. Prompt action was neces-
sary. It seemed to officers of the Red
Cross, at the time, that the use Of
the money in this way was proper,
from the Red Cross point Of view, for
it would be difficult to imagine any
more imperative duty upon the Red
Cross than to seek for every means
of prevention and remedy for sickness
of soldiers.
The Red Cross did not, as has been
stated, appropriate this money for
abstract medical research and expert
mentation. It was to be used for the
direct and immediate purpose Of find
ing ways to prevent or cure wounds
and sickness of the American soldiers.
It was strictly a war measure.
It developes, however, that there are
a large number of earnest Red Cross
members who have sincere convictions
against the use of animals for dis
covery of remedies for sickness. We
recognize that it should be an obi
cation of the Red Cross management
to show Difference to such honest con-
viction. Criticism seems to be large
ly confined to the fact that funds of
the Red Cross should not be used for
this work, when any considerable
number of it's members have such con-
victions against the work.
Realizing the situation, an individ-
ual has come forward and has offered
to supply money necessary for this
work SO that none shall be taken from
general funds of the Red Cross. This
fund provided will also be used to re-
imburse the Red Cross general fund
for any expenditures, in connection
Herewith, in the past.
The war council has decided to
accept this offer without, in any way,
taking position either for or against
the question in controversy, but be-
cause they do not wish their acts to
be considered to be in conflict with
sincere convictions of Red Cross men,
bers.

LOYALTY OF THE
N n

NV L
It is in no spirit of vainglory that
the Dispatch invites the attention of
the country to the record made by
the Ninth Reserve district in subscrip-
tions to the third Liberty loan. If it
were the simple matter of seeing it's
duty and doing it, there would be no
reason for special qualification, GER
tainly none for Wanting Qualification.
But there is an object lesson in the
result just written and the nation
should have the benefit of it.
Two of the states embraced in the
Ninth district Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin, had the misfortune to incur the
not u~ndeserved suspicion of doubtful
loyalty. Events which it is not neces-
sary to enumerate had succeeded in
fastening upon these states a stigma
of slack patriotic, La Follettism in
Wisconsin and N~on-partisan league
official declarations in Minnesota fig
uring as the chief factors. When the
district failed to reach expectations
there was no official allotment-in
subscriptions to the first Liberty loan,
there was a strengthening of the sus-
picion.
Then public sentiment was aroused.

.~expression and then by a record of
financial support of the government
in prosecuting the war. Came The
second Liberty loan and the Ninth
district not only swept past the marx
allotted as it's just share, but maao
the record Of the greatest per canita
r%articipation of the dozen districts
The shadow Of ~disloyalty was disan.

tic awakening.
For the first loan, there was M
ixed allotment, in the certainty that
the amount desired by the government
would be heavily oversubscribed. hit
this district disappointed expectat;on
by buying only $49, 500 $50 in bonds
For the second loan, the quota set for
the Ninth district was $1O5.OOO 0OO
rather high in view of the result of
the first. But the awakened peonle
attributed SAP, 900 900 in subscrip-
lions and were permitted to buv TO
the extent of $131 ,763, $50.
Finally, for the third loan, the dis
trict came to the front in it's true
colors. Complete and final figures
are not quite ready for submission. hut
the allotment was sos, 900, 900 and the
subscription is soaring around the
$15O,OOO,O00 mark. 1t may be more
and it may be less, but it will be salts
factory and vindicating. And it's
crown of glory is that last reports
show that of the 297 counties in the
district 295 already have reached the
100 per cent record and the remaining
two r expected to achieve the same
perfection. u"
In view of all Of the circumstances
and the history Of the past year there
is nothing pharisaical in asking the
country to examine the record Of this
'ection Of the United States and Judge
of it's LOYALTY.

Come in and get your
AMs- Chalmers Tractor Toddu

HERE'S a tractor that is not only fine for blowing but especially
adapted for work in soft Fredericksburg, narrowing, seeding,
packing. You can turn short to the left o right as easily in a powed
field as on a hard road.
fyou have some spring blowing, hitch your three bottom plow and
a one-section harrow behind the AMs- Chalmers, and your ground will then
be n ideal condition for your drill. The Alis Chalmers will handle two
loft. drills; seeding from rs to 80 acres in an actual 10 hour run on 20
gallons of kerosene.
Or. if you have no spring blowing; put a loft. drill between two 10
IT. spike tooth harrows. Hitch the whole load onto your AIis-Chalners
tractor, and in one operation you have a perfect seed bed. It's light weight
and easy short-turning features make this tractor superior to most machines

Come in and see this tractor. Even tho you may not absolutely need
1t until time for summer following: you might just IS well have the use of
1t now. We are in position to give very reasonable terms to reliable
customers. Come in and drive your Als- Chalmers home today.

CITY'S SMJL.EAGE
 RESULTS ATTRACT

"How do you do it?" is the query propounded to Dr. J. I. Norris, direct or of the Smileage campaign, by the Military Entertainment council. The results in Pine Bluff apparently were so much better than in other commun- ities, that the methods used will be recommended to the campaign direct ors in other places. All this is shown in letter sent Dr. Norris by J. P. Watson of Washington, writing for the council, who says:
 "Your Pine Bluff Smileage cam paign was so successful that we should like to have a statement from you as to the methods used in promoting the sale of books. We should like this information so that We can pass it on to other towns who have not as yet been as successful as yourself"
 Dr. Norris indicated that he will re- ply that the main thing is to "draft" a number of good, live, generous as sistants. j. .,'.

 Engineer Parks and Judge Cheex have done great deal of work on the road and it was agreed that the old roads would be kept in condition, which would make up for the fact that District No. IA. will not be fin ished soon because of legal transact ions.
 Messrs. Weigal, Board, Clayton and Webb have agreed to take parrs of the Bolivar road and drag their portion of the highway.

Probably 1000 Will Com pete For Prizes Offered
 By Rotary Club.

At least 1000 children will con- pete for the prizes offered by the Rotary club for the best gardens planted and cultivated by children between the ages of eigh: and 16 years. This was made evident yes terday when the children at several of the schools were appealed to by representatives of the club and of The government to enroll as com petltcrs for the Rotary prizes, and appeal to the patriotism of the youngsters was as much responsible Tor the enthusiasm manifested, say the speakers. as the possibility of winning prize. Responses by the youngsters to the question propound- ed How will garden help win The war? proved that the Riddles realize the responsibility resting upon the people at home, and are embued with the desire to help their "big brothers gone to war; One little answered that By eating vegetables we'll have more flour to send to the scldier; and those people over there,;' a little fellow said If We eat plenty of vete- tables we can save meat for the sol diers," while another little lad as- serted, "We can sell vegetables from our garden and buy War Savings stamps

 A meeting of all the little garden CTS will be held Saturday afternoon, probably at the tabernacle, when the plan will be further explained. One little fellow is not going to DC at the meeting.
