One day the king, who was most

their chief harbor where they were

I cut the cables of their fifty ships Of

REECE GARDENS
MOST BEAUTIFUL
!AT THIS SEASON

The Courier reporter visited the
Reece Gardens this week and found a
real beauty spot. To the traveller in
this season of unusual drought it is
a delight to find the wonderful trans
formations made possible by the care
husbandman. Mr.. and Mrs. Charles M.
Reece have made tn place to blossom
like California and this is expressed
by the "Oh's" of the visitors and ex-
clamations of wonder and surprise.
1t is an illustration of what can be
done if one add brains to industry.
Here we have seven lots covered
with luxuriant growth of every con-
ceivable kind which carefully watered
from pump kept running almost con-
stantly sometimes for as high as six
ty hours at one time. This pump is
run either by windmill or engine,
and the water is piped over the lots
making perfect irrigation system.

A PRACTICAL JOKER
ON The DISABLED MAN
Senate Amendment Plays Havoc With
Administration of Law Aiding
Vocational Students.

In other columns of this paper is
given an article dealing with the $780,
900 Montana bond issue for support
and care of Montana's veterans, dis
abled in the world war. Whatever may
be the consensus Of opinion regarding
the giving of a bonus to the physical
ly fit veteran, there can be nothing
but disgust over the treatment con-
gress has given the wounded service
man.
At almost the last minute before
adjournment the senate added a sew
enteen word joker to substitute
measure for the Darrow Bill which or
ginally intended to give the disabled
service man flat increase of $4,000
per month, that is to those who were
taking vocational training. This
amendment provided that the increase
should go to vocational students ire
siding in congested centers of popula-
ton where maintenance and support
is above the average and comparative
ly high"
The situation resulting is explained
in the following article in the Ameri-
can Legion Weekly:
Without analysis these seventeen
words may seem innocent enough. But
they have opened up a Pandora's hat
box of trouble for the wounded SOL
diers Of the war, and for those con-
cerned with the administration of the
law. They have placed upon the FEEDER
al Board for Vocational Training a
responsibility of Interpretation and q
new burden of administration which
cannot but seriously hamper its work.
They have denied to thousands of dis
abled veterans a fair increase in the
allowance given them by their Gov
ernment. They have caused delays of
weeks in payment of these increased
allowances to the men who are grant
ed them by the law. They have STIR
red up general uncertainty among the
disabled men undergoing training.
have hurled wrench into the whole
vocational training, with the result
that the heartbreaking distresses
which have marked Americas treat
ment of her wounded for the last two
years will be continued for many
months to come. And this just as the
agencies concerning themselves with
the care of the wounded were beginn-
ing to breathe easy in the belief that
most of the difficulties they had been
meeting were past.

MILK PRICES ADVANCED

The dairymen of Glasgow and vicini-
ty held meeting y: y. L. Gillespie's

mems clothes approximately seven and
one-half pounds of wool in the grease
are needed. The difference in cost
at the most between the wool and the
old cloth can be but two to three dol
lars. One has only to compare the
wearing qualities of the two pieces of
material to know their value. The
cloth from virgin wool will outwear
two or three of the other. A person
will do we'll to examine purchases
carefully and inquire as to whether
they are buying "all wool" or "vir-
gin WOOL.
The old wool cloth is treated as
many as eight times, continued Mr..
Etchart. And it is so done to allow the
cloth manufacturer bigger margin
of profit, the result being to leave
the market glutted with virgin wool,
which should have been used, and
what people think they are buying.
Such situations as these bring the
lesson home to a community. When
in a few years the sheep industry is

LEGION VETERANS PLAY
GOOD GAME SUNDAY
Local Ball Club Again Winner Over
American Legion Team in Fast
Sunday Game.

Those who attended the baseball
game between the Glasgow ball club
and the local American legion team
last Sunday afternoon at the Glasgow
park were we'll repaid for the time
spent there.
From the standpoint of a baseball
fan the game was a rip-roaring good
one. Full of pep, snap, and first-class
ball. Those who attended from the
spirit of seeing something out of the
ordinary in amusement were satisfied.
An affair of purely local players, vet
erans of the big war on both sides, and
characteristic of the desire to beat
ones neighbor in friendly match al
ways does make for good amusement.
The American legion boys started
out with a fast game that seemed
would bring them out winner. At the
end of the eighth inning the score
was 5 to in favor of the veterans.
However, at the beginning of the
uiHCu IuiliIS oOCS WuO pASSnCO AOA VIC
legion, eased up bit. This opportun-
ity the club boys did not miss and
before a single man was put out the
Glasgow club succeeded in putting over
five runs. This made the score seven
to five in favorsof the regulars. The
old Vets then frightened up and raal
their batters out in one, two, three
order.
What had seemed sure victory for
Uncle Sans past fighters now looked
like rout for them. With the spirit
of "Go and get it" they tried to bring
in three runs the last of the ninth.
1t was a good try but they could not
make it. The final score was to
against the Vets.
The batteries were as follows:
Legion-Boe and Carlson; Glasgow
club-Pickering and Jones.

One feels the thrill of this little
oasis as they catch the fragrance an
behold the beauties of the many kinds
of flowers. Delights are in store for
the visitor. Vivid fancy beds of sweet
peas, dahlias, poppies, pinks, snap

varieties are here in profusion.
Garden products are here in abun-

tuce, carrots, tomatoes, corn, cucumb-
ers, and radishes, and many other
things too numerous to mention and
all in the highest state of development.
The strawberry bed is one of great
interest. As one tastes these rich

saying that God might have made a
better berry but he never did. Here
Strawberries are growing on ever
bearing plants and last year they
picked over one hundred quarts from
this bed, This success is an encour-
agment to all who are making an ef-
fort to have things up to the greatest
degree of efficiency. Let gardeners
visit this up-to-date place and get
some pointers for a successful garden.

house for the daughter, Miss Marion
Lucille, where she and her little
friends spend many happy hours, and
in the swings, ssftees and shady hooks
you may often find happy laughing
children enjoying the rest and beauty
Of the place.
The Glasgow Chamber of Commerce
should show all visitors to our fair
city this successful piece of agricul-
ture. 1t would be a testimony to
many an easterner that Montana can
do things with capable people at the
head of matters.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles M. Reece
are to be congratulated on their sue
cessful endeavors in this direction
and this reporter wishes to assure
them it was a real pleasure to visit
their bautiful smiling home and gar
den. We shall be glad to come again
and commend it to all lovers of the
beautiful.

VALUABLE POINTERS
TO DRY LAND FARMERS
County Agent Stebbins Visits Exper.
iment Stations and Gets Valued
Information for Farmers.

ricultural agent, left on train No. 2
last Sunday for visit at the Willis
ton sub-experiment station for the
purpose of studying the dry land plots,
varieties and methods of tillage.
He reports the following varieties
of grain as outstanding for yield the
last ten years. The rainfall at Will
liston is about the same as here and
the station is on dry bench land.
The varieties of wheat that yielded
the heaviest during this period were
durums and Buford durum was high
est, and Pelissier (the durum with the
black boards and white chaff) was
close second. X. v. Dorr of the West
Galpin farm bureau community has in
rs acres of registered Buford durum
on summerfallow. The farm bureau
purchased the seed for Mr.. Dorr and
his field will be registered by the
Montana Seed Growers association.
Therefore, Mr.. Dorr will have certi-
fled Buford seed for sale this fall.
Of the beardless varieties, Powres'
Fife was first and Marquis second.
The Powers Fife has longer straw
and can be harvested with less waste
than the Marquis and the milling
qualities are just as good as the Mar
quis.
Of oats, the Abundance stood first
and the Early Mountain a close Sec
ond. These two varieties were much
ahead of Swedish Select and away
ahead of che side oat varieties.
The Hannah barley stood at the top,
with Hannchen very close. Both of
these barleys are two rowed, bearded
these barleys are. A,aassuilandva
varieties. All varieties of the four
and six rowed fell down on yield in
comparison with the two rowed var
ieties. In all of northeastern Mon
tana and western North Dakota the
two rowed, bearded barleys are far
superior to any other variety. The
bearded and hulless barley make good
hay yields but fall away short on
grain production.
The Petkus winter rye was quite
outstanding above all other varieties.
Large acreage of this variety of fall
rye is being grown in Roosevelt coun-
ty.
The Kursk millet had the lead on
all the millets and as a second choice
Siberian. The Kursk millet is a S.
lection from the Siberian. Hog or
broom corn millet gave heavier
yield of hay but it's feeding value is
much inferior to that of the Kursk
or Siberian.
For fodder corn the Northwestern
Dent headed the list where both yield
and quality of feed were considered.
For grain, either flint such as Gehu,
Dakota White or Squaw Corn.
But Mr.. Stebbins says that variety
will not make crop alone, although
it is an important factor; but to be
sure of crop summer fallow in May
or early June with cultivated crops
is the system to follow and then by
the use of these superior varieties
farming can be made to pay, where
livestock is worked in to consume all
the roughage produced on the farm.

WILL RAISE VETERAN
WELFARE FUND SOON
Local Post to Raise $1,000 in Sale of
Bonds Of 5000 to $5O0.00
Worthy Cause:


for men for the army and navy at
the outbreak Of the war with Germany
we heard good dal about the things
that would be done for the boys after
they returned from Flanders Field.
Spellbinders and quillpushers prom
sed balmy days for the boys "when
they get back" and nothing to good
for the boys when they get home" !"
All of this sounded good but what
about the present day attitude toward
the Veterans Welfare Fund?
The last legislature provided for the
raising of 100000 for the relief of
disabled veterans. In order to do this
bonds were to be sold but nothing has
been done in Valley County.
The dates for the drive were set
for July % and 20, 1920. The appor-
tionment to this county is 100000.
The bonds are in the nature of $50
500, and $4,000
This is worthy cause and we be-
lieve our pepole will respond when
the facts are placed before them.
The following is the Proclamation
by the Governor:
Whereas, The legislative assembly
of the state of Montana made an ap-
preparation of 100000 for the relief
of Montana men who saw service in
the world war; and
Whereas, The Veterans Welfare
Commission, created for the admins
tration of said fund, has been unable
to dispose of large portion of the
bonds issued in pursuance of the act,
so that $4,000 worth of said bonds
remain undisposed of:
"Now, therefore, I, S. V. Stewart,
governor of the state of Montana, do
hereby designate and set apart We'd
nesday and Thursday, the 2Sth and
29th days of July, 1920, as Veterans
Welfare Days in the state of Mon
tana.
"Upon these days a drive is to be
put on in an effort to dispose of the
unsold portion of said bonds by pop
ular subscription, and l express the
sincere hope that instant success may
attend the efforts of the workers in
the campaign. The people of Montana
poured out their money without stint
during the progress of the war. Thru
their legislative assembly they have
made pledge to the wounded and
needy veterans, and common justice
demands that this pledge be redeemed,
regardless of the state of bond mar
kets or other conditions at home or
abroad.
"This drive will afford an opportun-
ity for the people to make it possible
to carry out the terms of the act and
give relief to those who need it, many
of whom are still languishing in army
hospitals. Let the response be prompt
and adequate, and ours shall be the
satisfaction that comes from knowl-
edge of duty properly discharged.
"In witness whereof have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the great
seal of the state to be affixed.

GAS RATE HEARING
OPENS TOMORROW
Washington Gas Light Company
Will Fight for 35 Cent
Increase.

The open hearing by the Public
Utilities Commission on the request
OF the Washington Gas Light Com
pany for higher gas rates will begin
in the boardroom of the District build
ing at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
William Nick. Clayton, chairman
of the public utilities committee OF the
Federation OF Citizens Associations,
will be on hand to represent the pub
lie Although he resigned some time
ago from active work on this COM
mittee, Mr. Clayton has consented to
be the public's counsel on this occa-
sion, being opposed to the proposition
of the gas company.
The gas company petitions the com
mission for a sliding scale. of gas
prices, to be changed each month.
Advances in the cost of oil are so un-
certain. the company contends. that
contracts for oil can be secured for
one month at a time only. As each
penny increase in oil means the cost
to make gas increases , or cents,
the company believes 1t is better to
change the cost to the consumers from
time TO time as oil prices change,
There is much opposition to this
proposal. II the proposal should
be put into effect Washington
would have to pay in June
100 per thousand cubic feet in
stead Of 95 cents as they are pay
ing now.
