we feel this matter should be given
some consideration by the legislature
in selecting the site of any normal
schools it decides to authorize.
"1n addition, Glasgow has the finest
schools east of Havre on the line of
the Great Northern in Montana; it
has an unexcelled water supply, elec-
trio lights, modern sewage system
and splendid buildings. No better site
for normal could be devised. In ad-
dition to these advantages it is CEN
trally located as regards that vast en-
pire east of Havre in northern Mon
tana and would draw students from
dozen rapidly developing counties. 1t
has the potential student population,
the demand for more and better teach
ers is bigger now than the supply, and
all it needs is normal school,
Mr.. Rumble predicts that the acre.
age planted to spring crops in VAL
ley county will break all previous rec
ords.

LOCAL QUINTETTE TO
PLAY HARLEM FEB. /
Harlem Guests of Glasgow High.-
Local Team Much Improved
Fast Game Expected.

On Saturday night the speedy Har-
lem aggregation will meet the local
quintette on the high school floor.
A fast game can be expected for thus
far Harlem has made an enviable rec
ord, easily defeating everything she
has met, and unless Glasgow can stop
her rush she will undoubtedly be con-
sidered for the state tournament.
Glasgow has shown wonderful inn
provement since the first game and
there is little danger of having Sec
ond disaster. The locals have been
handicapped all through the season by
being unable to play their best men
because of scholastic difficulties but
these men are now in a position to
take their places on the team within
a week. The team that will line up
against Harlem will be picked from
the following men: Sektnan, Cotton
B. Illman, T. 1llman, Redfield, Hovey
Holland, Sprague and Wedum.
On February 9Th Plentywood will
probably be here, and on the follow.
ing week Glasgow will take TRIP
west, playing Chinook, Harlem anc
Havre. The outcome of these games
will be big factor in determining
whether the local team will be rep.
resented at Bozeman this year.

The annual meeting and smoker of
the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce
and Agriculture held on Thursday eve
ming last week was we'll attended and
most successful meeting reported.
President j. A. Goodrich of the law
firm of Goodrich Roberts, in his ad-
dress, gave some interesting facts
regarding the activities of the club
for the past year and explained that
every effort of the organization was
put forth in making all war activities
success. He went into detail regard
ing the irrigation problem and ex-
planned the necessity and the import
ance of solving the problems of the
Milk River Valley project so that this
project could be improved and devel-
oped.
Following his talk F. l.. Sherman,
chairman of the Railroad committee
of the chamber, gave in detail, an &C
count of a recent trip to st. Paul by
himself, j. A. Grissom, Bert Reed and
Ben Pagan of the north country rel
ative to railroad possibilities.

List Named Him as Killed.

Tuesday of this week Mrs. Mary E.
Daw received a letter from her son
Rex Daw, written on Christmas Day
in camp at Coblenz, Germany, where
he is stationed with company of U.
S. field artillery. Some three months
ago the casualty lists contained the
name of Rex E. Daw as killed in ac-
ton and efforts to obtain particulars
resulted in the affirmation of the re-
ports that he had given his life for
world democracy. Rex was severely
wounded and gassed in one of the bat
ties on the western front and after
report Of his being taken to the hos
pital no word had been received from
him until the above mentioned letter
He states that he has recovered from
wounds received and also. from the
effects of gas and is feeling fine and
hopes to be home in the near future

AUTOMOBILE RACING
DOOMED AT POPLAR
Several Enthusiasts May Buy Speedy
Cars and Organize Northern
Montana Racing Circuit.

With the enlargement and improve
ments planned in the race track at the
Poplar fair grounds, several citizens
who are devoted to the auto racing
game are thinking Of organizing an
automobile racing association, buying
several racing cars and holding mo-
tor races here and at other cities.
The scheme is being advocated by
Chris Jensen, who says he will pur-
chase racing car if it can be arrang-
ed. Vic. Hillstrom and R. E. Patch
will also get fast cars, it is expected
Automobiles have made big hit at
Poplar and it is believed with an en-
larged track new interest will be Gre
ated and the races made success.
It is planned now to begin work on the
track with the first coming of spring.
A surveyor will be placed in charge
and the job will be done by contract
A meeting to organize the association
will be called within short time.

STATE MEETING AT LIVINGSTON LARGELY AT.
TENDED BY OFFICIALS FROM ALL PARTS
THE STATE; MUCH IMPORTANT LEGIS.
LATION RECOMMENDED.

Five organizations of Montana coun-
ty officials opened a four-day annual
convention in Livingston Monday.
They included the commissioners, au-
ditors, treasurers, clerks and recorders
and clerks of the district court.
. The morning sessions were devoted
largely to routine matters, such as
roll calls and appointments of commit
tees. In the afternoon in the court
room, at the court house, District
Judge A. P. Stark of the Sixth Mon
tana judicial district, made an address
of welcome in behalf of Park county
and City Attorney Frank Arnold well
coined the visitors in the name of Liv-
ingston. w. F. Kester of Great Falls,
Cascade county commissioner, re-
sponded. r.
Following the speeches of welcome
and the response the commissioners
who held their meetings in the court

Glasgow's interests in the state
fight for the location of a normal
school in northern Montana are be-
ing we'll looked after in Helena this
week by ex-senator Walter w. Hurd
and former representative, Sidney J.
Rumble. Both Of these gentlemen have
a large acquaintance over the state
and are bending every effort to see
that the new school appropriation pas
ses the legislature and that Glasgow
be named as the location for same.
Senator John L. Slattery has been
working tirelessly since the begin
ming of the session on his bill to Sc
cure and appropriation for the loca-
tion of normal at Glasgow and pres
ent indications are that we may be
successful.
A thousand reasons can be advanced
why state educational institution
should be located in this section of the
state and with excellent natural ad-
vantages, a city modern in every re-
spect, a beautiful site donated free,
the best system of city schools in the
state already established, Glasgow Of
fers everything that could be desired
for the location of such an institu-
tion.
At the present time the entire north
end of the state is without state ed
ucational institution of any kind and
the girls and boys who wish to attend
normal school from this section in
variably go to Minot, North Dakota,
and in many instances to the twin
cities, as the distance there is little
more than the distance to our own
state normal which is now located at
Dillon. .A, &fh4Es
That Mr.. Hurd and Mr.. Rumble are
hard at work is evidenced by the fol-
lowing article for Tuesdays Record
Herald:
| AS REPRESENTATIVES VI LIIC oAnSSOV
Chamber of Commerce, Walter Hurd
former state senator from Valley
county, and Sidney J. Rumble, former
representative from the same county
have arrived in Helena to present the
claims of Glasgow as a site for a
new normal school.
Mr.. Rumble points out that within
the past few years the state land Of
flee filed upon half million acres of
land in Valley county and the same
, acreage in Sheridan county. Most of
this land will not be sold for years
and therefore both Valley and Sheri-
dan counties will be deprived of sew
eral hundred thousand dollars in taxes.
"These lands were selected in lieu
of lands in the forest reserves" said
Mr.. Rumble. "The amount that VAL
| ley and Sheridan counties have been
deprived of in the way of taxes would
have built dozen normal schools, and
higly polished and make a beautiful

A Slick Bunch.
Judge Stark in his address referred
to the county officials as the "Slick
est, smoothest aggregation that could
be gotten together in the state of
Montana" for, he pointed out, there
were the successful politicians at the
recent elections.
Striking more serious note, the
judge remarked that in view of the
wonderful record Montana had made
in the war, there was no greater dis
tinction than being a citizen of the
Treasure state. He attached special
significance to the session of the
county officials.
"You are the representatives of our
system of government" he said. "Your
views and the way you put them into
practice will affect the future of the
state. You are the men to settle
the problems of the reconstruction
period"

Monthly Meet
MEMBERS DECIDE TO HOLD REGULAR GET-TO.
GETHER MEETINGS; MUCH IMPORTANT
WORK TO BE HANDLED DURING
COMING YEAR.

S. j. Rumble followed with a few
remarks regarding the irrigation dis
trict plan and suggested that meet
ing of the members be called at an
early date to go into this situation and
work out a definite plan. 1t was un-
animously decided to call meeting
at later date.
The secretary then gave in detail
an outline of the activities of the club
for the past year. The secretary's
report appears in this edition in detail.
Peter Peterson, president of the Val
ley county farm bureau, then spoke
briefly regarding the large amount of
work handled by the county agent and
the benefits derived.
County Agent Murray E. Stebbins
gave very interesting talk covering
the purposes of the farm bureau or
ganization and the work accomplished
during the past year. 1t was decided
by the chamber organization to ap-
point standing committee to COOP

CANADIAN EXPERT TO ASSIST
Gathering at Helena on February IA
Will Be Under Leadership of Da-
vid Hilger Of Lewiston.

Three hundred prominent Montan-
ans from every section of the state
will meet at the Placer hotel in Hell
ena Friday, February IA, to discuss
and form plan Of organization for
the Montana Development league, pro-
posed by David Hilger of Lewiston
and w. A. Milne, chief of the speak
ers' bureau of the U. S. food admins
tration and formerly head of the gov
ernment colonization plan Of Alberta,
Canada. Mr.. Milne believes that if
a thorough organization is accomplish
ed in Montana and an exhaustive sur
vey made of the state resources as a
basis of operation that Montana's pop
ulation can be increased to 100000
within five years. Following break
down in his health, he is now engag-
ed in making such survey for the
hackers Of the movement and before
the Helena meeting expects to have
visited every county in the state. In
Butte he met with great encourage
ment and 20 representative citizens of
that city will attend the meeting to
to be held in Helena.
Mr.. Milne has already visited Miles
City, Forsyth, Lewistown, Great Falls,
Helena, Missoula, Butte and Anacon-
da. During his trip he has found pub
lie sentiment very favorable to the
new plan, which has for it's essential
element the encouraging of settlement
by farmers and business men who
have sufficient funds to enable them to
overcome the early burden Of colon
ization and become permanent resi-
dents of the state.
In Canada this plan was followed,

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

The bureau of supplies wishes to an
nounce to Red Cross organizations in
this division the fact that it will be
perfectly satisfactory for them, after
finishing their allotment, to sell local
ly their stock of yarn on hand whether
it be in skeins or smaller quantities
The selling of the yarn in this way
will be much more economical than to
ship it back to division headquarters
from here it may be necessary to ship
it to some other distant point. This
plan of selling the yarn locally will
save a considerable amount in ship
ping charges.
The bureau of chapter production
wishes to announce that it is not per-
missible to sell finished knitted ar
ticles.
