Red Cross Speaking

Mr.. Mclaughlin, of New
Orleans, and Lieut.. Parl;e, of the
British army, spoke here last
Friday to a capacity house ard told
our people some of the needs of
the Red Cross as well as sons Of
the practices Of the huns.
At the close of the speaking,
Mr.. A. L. Jagoe, who has charge
of the Red Cross drive on this
side of the creek, called on the
people for one thousand dollars
to be raised in ten minutes, ask
ing for $25 noless and no more
from any one person. A few
refused to be limited but nearly
all subscribed as requested. The
amount asked for was raised and
an additional $500 to keep it
company. This side promised to
raise half the county's quota.
Already that amount has been
raised and still the subscriptions
continue to come in. Remember
there is no maximum limit. You
may subscribe and pay as you
are able. TO do less is to slack
in a way that refuses to hep the
sick and wounded.

Okolona Produce Company
Mr.. B. Bregadow One of the
Veins that Feed Uncle Sans
War Material Arteries.

Perhaps the most stimulating
auxiliary to the United States
big war game is the produce and
Junk business of the country,
which buy at high rates the
scraps of the many industries
which would be otherwise thrown
in an old ditch somewhere after
being discarded by the owner.
The scraps of iron, of brass, and
of copper, which Mr.. B. Brega-
dow is buying from the people
of this city and county, go to the
government munitions plants
where they again go thru the
process of refinement, are melt
ed down into workable mass.
and then they go into cannon,
into bullets, and into rifles with
which our Yankee lnvincibles
shoot down the bloody huns.
The hides, the furs, the wool
that this gentleman buys are
made into shoes, puttees, cloth
ing and warm overcoats for our
boys "over here" and lover
there" The talloW and the
bees wax are made into lubricats
for army trucks, big guns and
machine guns; and the grain,
poultry, butter and eggs are
articles of food so necessary to
the life of the fighting men.
So, Reader, you see that Mr..
Bregadow aside from turning
waste products into good hard
cash for the pockets of the local
sellers, is performing q patriotic
duty toward his country. And
in this day Of conservation, when
everybody is paying more and
more attention to pennies, to the
erst considered small things, MIR.
BregadoW affords a new channel
for conservation. Any one with
an old worn out rubber casing CT
tube doesn't throw it in the back
Of the garage now, bit sells it
to the Okolona Produce Co.
This Company buys practically
everything the farmer has tc
sell, and it pays top notch prices
for whatever it buys. Grain,
poultry, butter and eggs are
handled by the car load lot, anc
all the many articles for which
this firm is in the market are
shipped into the North and East
thus bringing outside money into
our county.
Mr.. Bregadow has been il
business in Okolona since las
December, but in the few shOr
months he has been in the cit!
he has built up a wide circle o
friends in this territory. He il
wide awake and on the job al
the time; and the courteous
affable manner of the man is hi
biggest trade getter. He is al
exemplary citizen and one VIII
completely won the confidence 0
the people. And Chickasav
folk must remember not to throw
away any metal parts or scral
rubber, but to take it to Mr.
Bregadow and turn them int
money, and at the same tim'
contribute something that will
Materially aid in the destruction
Of the hun.

Bell and Buchanan
Okolona's Most Popular Drug
Store Was Established Twenty
Years Ago.

In every town and city there is
always one store that stands out
prominently from its neighbors
and competitors because of its
universal popularity: where
everybody wants to meet friends.
On every hand and side in Oko-
Iona one hears such expressions
as: "WelI, meet me at Bell and
Buchanan's at 2 O'Clock and
Wen decide what to d." or,
Wait for me at Bell and Buch-
anan's and Wen go from there. "
Nothing attests the popularity
of any business as strongly as
does the fact that its name is on
everybody's tongu2. This popu-
larity of Bell and Bpchanan'S is
due to several conditions: loca-
ton may be counted as one, but
the chief inducements to trade
are the courteous, obliging pro-
hprietors, the excellent service in
drugs, prescriptions and at the
fountain, and the high class bus
mess methods employed there.
This stand has been a drug
store for twenty years. -Four
years ago Mr.. r. &. Buchanan
came into the firm and the style
of the name was changed to its
form. These alert, progressive
gentlemen have made rapid
strides and gains in the business
world within the past four years,
and hoye greatly increased the
good name and prestage Of the
business. Both are registered
pharmacists and take great per-
sonal pride in the prescription
department, where painStaking
care characterizeS all weights
and measures, and where moth
ing but the very purest and
freshest drugs are ever COM
pounded into prescriptions. Mr..
Bell is the pioneer druggist of
the city and has vast experience
to his credit. The firm stands
first in the est nation of the
people of this and surrounding
! counties and it consequently
draws the bulk Of the business.
The interior Of the store is
beautifully decorated and APP
pointed. The wall fixtures are
, of cherry, and the floor cases OF
solid plate glass mounted on mar
bic bases. The cases are com
pletely filled with attractIely
, and neatly displayed stocks OF
drugs, sundries, patent medl'
cines, toilet articles, leather anc
rubber goods, perfumes, foun'
tain pens, cutlery, stationery
and practically everything to be
| found in big city store. The
, firm is agent for the celebrated
Win Hepatica that is sweeping
the country just now IN
great wave of popularity
: It is also agent for Norris Can
dies, and for the famous Victor
| monographs and records. The

EXTRA HOUR GOES SUNDAY
EXTRA DAYLIGHT OCTOBER q: WILL
RETURN ON THE LAST sunday OF MARCH,
1918, BY ADJUSTMENT OF H CLOCK.

Washington.-Goodbye to the ex-
ira hour of daylight on October q
some time after midnight. It will
return on the last Sunday in Marsh
of 1919 with the simple operation Of
adjusting the hands of the clock. Now
do not make any mistake about it for
here is the law:
"That at 2 o'clock ante-meridian of
the. last Sunday in March of each
year the standard time of each zone
shall be advanced one hour, and at 2
O'Clock ante-meridian of the last Sun
day in October in each year the STAN
dard time of each zone shall, by the
r~etarding of one, be returned to the
mean astronomical time of the de-
gree Of longitude governing each zone,
respectively"

hands of the clock but a lot Of things
have been hooted and the American
people like to be shown. Senator

SHEEP hEN MEET With
MAJOR M0SSNAN
. Number of Glasgow Ranchers
Journeyed to Poplar Last Week
to Discuss Problems.

Replying to notices sent cut nv
Major Mossman of the reservation
ten prominent sheepmen of this coun-
try met with him and the farmers of
the reservation at the agency office
at Poplar last week.
The meeting was called to consult
the ranchers concerning the rate they
were willing to pay for grazing on the
reservation, and secondly, to explain
to them the difficulty of settling
with the indians for the trespass of
the sheep as they run over such large
territory.
The grazing portions Of the eserv
ton we're allotted to the various sheep
owners and they agreed to run cn un
used allotment and upon vacant land
as many sheep as would probably use
this area. This was insisted upon by
the superintendent because there is
so much land going to waste or only
partly used at the present time when
the country needs the maximum prod
uct of all lands. The management
of the reservation expects the new ar
rangement to do away with the diff
culties among the sheep men and the
Indians concerning what they call
sheep leases.
The territory was divided up by the
superintendent as fairly as possible
and the sheep men expressed their
willingness to pay forty cents per
head for grazing compared to the
present price Of thirty cents.
The following ranchers were in at
tendance at the meeting: Matt Mur-
ray, Glasgow; John Etchart, Glasgow;
Roy Billingsley, Glasgow; Peter IT,
hista, Glasgow; Frank Cooper, Glas-
gov; David Cooper, Glasgow; Sam
Gill, Oswego; Peter 1~tciana, Glasgow;
Peter Marion, Plentywood.

CORPORAL HARRY E. HILL.
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1918-10-25

sponsored the bill in the senate, makes
the statement that the Washington
Gas Light company reports the peo-
pie Of the District Of Columbia sava-
ed not less than $4,000 on their gas
bills. The senator says this indicates
a saving Of $4,000, 900 III tie entire
country. Here is what the New York
senator thinks of the values Of the
daylight saving law:
The daylight saving law has more
than fulfilled the prophecies of its ad-
vocates. It has really turned one
hour of night into day. People live
by custom. They rise in the morning
by the clock; they eat their meals by
the clock, and go to bed by the clock,
so that during the time this law haas
been. in operation a vast majority of
the people of this country have bj,n
awake one hour Of daylight and
asleep one % hour of dark than
they were formerly.
"This additional hour of daylight
has been most helpful to the men, wo-
men and children of the nation who
have taken advantage of it to plant
war gardens, thereby not only reliev-
ing the strain upon the farm but to
a very considerable degree tending
toward economy in family expendi-
ture. It has also saved too in gas and
electric bills not less than 10 per cent
of the money formerly spent for this
purpose. In addition, it will, during
the sever months of operation this
year, save at least one million tons of
coal. It has afforded in the con-
struction Of environments for our army,
in the manufacture of munitions and
war supplies of every character and
in the building of ships, one more
hour of daylight for the men engaged
in those industries. Without ques-
ton this bill has been more helpful
in the great war work in which this
nation is engaged than any other M
thing"
One and a quarter million tons of
coal sawed just by turning the clock
ahead an hour for seven months. That
is the estimate of the United States
fuel administration of the economy ef-
fected by lessening the load on light
ing plants through the daylight saw
ing scheme.
Definite reports from St. Louis show
a saving of IT'S tons for each thous-
and of population on the seven months
basis. The saving in France for a
three and a half months period was
100000 tons, which would make a saw
ing of 1875 tons for each thousand of
population in a seven months period,
according to the figures of the fuel
administration.
Senator Calder is not alone in real
izing what the law has done for the
country which by the way is the last
great nation in the world to adopt the
system. Charles Lahrop Pac, pres
ident of the national war garden COM
mission, gives a great deal of credit
for the great war garden record of
1918 to the daylight saving law. Ac-
cording to estimates by the commits
sion the war garden crop this year
is worth S525, 900 900. This is an in
crease of 81 per cent over that of 1917.
The commissions survey shows that
5,285,0 900 home food producing plots
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1918-10-25

were planted. With Is working days
in each Of the seven months you have
1872 extra hours Of time. If only one
gardener worked this extra hour of
time in each plot it will be seer that
nine hundred and sixty-one million
eight hundred and seventy thousand
hours of extra time were added to
the country's wealth. Since there are
$3.50 hours in a year you find the
staggering total of 109, 1903 years of
24-hour days.
In a working day of eight hours
the real advantage is found by multi
plying 109,80 by three, giving $780,
400 working or eight-hour years. I'm
p~ortance of this extra time cannot be
overestimated in the opinion of Mr..
Pack. There is to be an army of five
million men and as it costs 40 cents
a day to feed a soldier it will mean
that food valued at two million dol
lars must be found for the army ev-
cry day. Food and more food "F. o.
B. the Kitchen Door" must be plant
ed.
The demonstration gardens which
the national war garden commission
established at Camp Dix is a fine
example of what a be done. There
the soldier boys were up with the sun
and took advantage of the extra hour
of daylight to produce food. Lieut..
John F. Bonner in charge of the work
reports to Capt. E. v. Champlin that
crops valued at $3.50 were raised
despite a late start. Gen. Hugh L.
Scott gave a "harvest luncheon" which
was attended by men of the quarter
masters department and the motor
transport corps who evinced the great
est interest in the possibilities of pro-
duction of food at camps and the re-
sulting relief to the transportation
problem.
The good effect of daylight saving
was felt by business concerns. Every
where reports have come to the ma
tional war garden commission show
ing increased production has resulted
and the worker has more "pep" for
the next days tasks as a result of get
ting out from work into daylight.
Thousands went into their gardens
after work in the big plants and there
produced food in the plots started for
workers. According to C. w. Cowgirl
of the mutual interest department of
the American Rolling Mill company at
Middletown, Ohio, "the war garden
is a great stabilizer." The best plant
in the war garden is contentment.
The person who was in the habit of
getting up at Z o'clock got up at Z
o'clock just as always and that's all
there is to the change back. Just trun
the clock back when you go to bed
and forget it.

wait until the next morning, unless
the emergency is a matter of life and
death. The doctors need all the rest
they can get if they are to go through
this heavy demand on them without
breaking down." said Dr.. Cogswell.
DR.. Cogswell reported (Moniay)
that the state health board has sue
ceeded in securing two nurses for SER
vice in the eastern part Of the state,
and these workers will be assigned to
Glendive and that region.
DR.. Cogswell also reported that over
1900 cases of influenza have been
reported from Butte since the epi-
demic broke out.
