Work in South Carolina, recently
made to DR.. W. ". Long, Director Of
Extension Work In this State, . copy
of which has been received by the
Food Administration, illustrates in a
most forcible and convincing manner
how farmer boys can.i IN their own
responsibility, aid materially in the
production and conservation Of food
at this critical time In the worlds
history when the crying demand Of a
hungry, fighting world Is for more
and more food. At the same time, the
boys are earning money with which

TO assure the success Of the Corn

the cooperation, encouragement and
support of the public-spirited citizens
is necessary. For instance, last year

Of the State helped By offering prizes,
and in this way Thousands Of dollars

into the State, very materially adding
to the breeding stock OF hogs. One
of the greatest difficulties has been
encountered in supplying the boys
with pigs This splendid work OF the
farmer boys Of South Carolina has
formed a big contribution to the food
supply of the country, and 1t Is a
work which offers opportunity for
many p~ublic-spirited people to len

WOMEN WANT FEDERAL
DEMONSTRATION AGENT
Valley County Women's Patrio-
tic Association May Secure
Government Instructor.

1t is understood that the State of
Montana is entitled to ten demon
stration agents, their expenses to be
met by the Federal government. In
view of this fact the executive board
of the Women's Patriotic association
held short business session on Mon
day evening, in the south side school
house, and decided as it did not incur
additional expense to the county, to
take the matter up with the proper
authorities at once, and ascertain if
such an agent could not be secured
for Valley county. It is to be hoped
that the ladies will be successful in
their efforts.
The active members of the associa-
tion also met on Monday evening for
drill practice, and splendid repre-
sentation was in attendance. Gus
Bertsch acted as commanding officer,
and Carl Ackermann and F. L. Trus-
colt were also present. Over sixty
ladies took part in the drill, and they
are doing splendid work.
Captain Sweitzer appointed the fol-
lowing officers temporarily: First
Sergeant, Miss Mary Talmage; Sec
ond Sergeant, Mrs. Roy Comport,
Corporals: Mrs. G. Bertsch, Mrs. H.
M. Mcintyre, Miss Ethel Belzer, Mrs.
L. Irish, Mrs. T. J. Hooking and Miss
L. Hoey.

DO YOU NEED HELP?

DO 1OU NEED HELP!
Will you need farm labor this year
If so have you made arrangements
to secure same. The Glasgow cham
Der of commerce and agriculture have
free employment bureau and are
trying to help in this matter as they
did last year. It is estimated that
this branch of the chamber placed
about 800 men on farm jobs last year.
In order that they may be of the same
service this year it is necessary that
each farmer in need of help will ad-
wise Secretary Jones the number of
men needed and length of time want
ed. AS you are aware there is a
shortage of farm hands so it becomes
necessary to start Immediately 10
find out the farm needs of the county
so that we will be able to help in an
efficient manner.
The chamber has list of names of
people mostly married with and with
out children, who are seeking employ
ment in the west. The chamber will
gladly write anyone on the list for
you. Let the club know your wants
in farm labor at once, so that they
will know the labor situation in the
county.

Food Stacker Traitors May Be
Cause of Thousands of Deaths

Do you realize Mr.. Selfish Citizen,
that in disregarding the mandates of
the food administration, that you and
your ilk, may be the cause of thous-
ands of deaths by starvation in the
countries of our European allies?
This is an actual fact as will be set
forth by DR.. H. C. Culbertson in his
address here next Monday evening.
The United States government, on
November first sent to France, Eng
land and Italy, for the purpose of
studying conditions in the war zone,
six men, who have become known as
"The Commission to France"
These men returned on January 10
and Immediately began a tour of the
west and middle west states.
Two of this group of speakers,
namely: Daniel A. Reed and DR.. H.
C. Culbertson, together with Mrs.
Basil Clark, who was in Belgium
when invaded by the Germans and
was captured and later exchanged,
are spending ten days in Montana.
Their mission is to give the American
people a true knowledge Of the con-
ditions that actually exist in the war
zone and to arouse them to the ne
cessity Of increasing their productive
efforts and of altering their method

Citizens Urged to Cooperate with
Officers in Stamping Out Disease

A few weeks ago scarlet fever
made it's appearance in Glasgow. We
at once took steps to control the dis
ease and ten days ago we thought the
disease was under control and in a
few more days would be entirely
stamped out.
But at this time it looks very fav-
orable for a serious and widespread
epidemic. This is all due to the fact
that the people, or at least portion
of them, seem not to be interested in
the matter one way or the other. They
simply will not assist or cooperate
with the health authorities. The peo-
pie of Glasgow and especially the par
ents of children, must surely be in
terested in ridding the town of this
scourge. The way to do this is to
cooperate and assist the health auth
critics, report all cases, even very
mild ones. If you have child only
slightly i'll, especially if it has sore
throat, is vomiting, isolate it at once
and call doctor and find out what
the trouble is. If the child is the
least bit i'll keep it in until you find
out what the trouble is.

Compared to Soldier Boys
Glasgow, Feb. %, 1913.

Glasgow, Feb. 23, 1918.
Editor Tribune:
The following news dispatch ap-
peared in The Tribune under date of
February 21st, and has just come to
my attention:
"Havre, Feb. 21.-James Murray of
Malta, who was arrested Wednesday
by the Phillips county sheriff for vio-
lating his parole from the state pri-
son, secured his release on habeas
corpus before Judge Rhodes Thurs
day afternoon.
"Some time ago Murray was con-
victed of grand larceny in Phillips
county, and Judge Hurry gave him his
choice of enlisting in the army or
going to the penitentiary. Murray
went to American Lake, but made
such a poor soldier he was discharged.
"After his release today Sheriff
Crabb of Malta again caused his re-
arrest on telegraphic warrant from
the state board of pardons. Murray
has secured the services of Attorney
O'Keefe of Chinook, and will fight
the latter charge"
Ordinarily l would pay no attention
to a news item of this nature, but l
do not care to have the impression
created that am placing equality be-
tween convicts and members of the
national army.
"No better class of men than those
composing the present army was ever
gathered together and l think that no
district Judge should say to any man
convicted of a felony that he may
take "his choice of enlisting in the
army or going to the penitentiary."
The boys in the army should not be
compelled to associate with man
convicted of felony and who, to es-
cape punishment desires to enlist in
the army.
So far as the news item is con-
cerned, it is incorrect, in that James
Murry was convicted before me

MEATLESS MEALS.

Montana's food rules called for
three meatless meals on Tuesday and
one meatless meal every day. In ad-
dition, all meals on Saturday are to
be porkless. The state food admins
tration has named each noon meal
wheatless but has left the meatless
meal each day at the option of the
people. ~Meatless" means without
the use of cattle, sheep or hog pro-
ducts, either fresh or preserved, for
food purposes. Public eating places
are requested to notify the food ad-
ministration what meal each day they
are making meatless.

cessfully in the ten days between Lin
coins and Washington's birthdays.
The slogan was, Every School a
Red Cross Auxiliary" To become an
auxiliary school must raise a sum
on money equivalent to 25 cents for
each pupil enrolled. This was no small
task in these days of stress and strain
when there is scarcity of money
and weather conditions hinder.
But with splendid patriotism teach
ers and children determined that their
school should be 10O% Red Cross. So
they made the drive and the result is
that the Glasgow High school, the
south side grammar school, the Hins-
dale school, Oswego, Opshal, Corn
we'll and Cain school are 1OO% Red
Cross and have won Red Cross GER
tificate. This means that over 500
of the school children of Valley coun-

as members.
These buttons are worn by many
little heroes whose quarter was a
