0NE-DAY SCHOOL ON
FARM MANAGEMENT
February 16-Under Direction of Val
ley County Farm Bureau-AlsO
One at Hinsdale.

The farm bureau has made arrange
ments to put on two one-day farm
schools. One at the bur-
eau office in Glasgow, February 10th,
and one in the basement of the Valley
County Bank of Hinsdale, February
18th. The farm bureau was able to
secure the services of Mr.. A. J. Cope
land, farm management demonstra-
tor, for the state of Montana, for
these two dates.
Not over 25 farmers can be accom-
modated at one of these schools and
when that many have signed up no
more applications will be taken. The
object is TO have small group of
farmers get together and study farm
business. The account book used is
simple and easy to understand but
complete. At the end of the year it
it an easy matter to determine the
most profitable kind of livestock and
crops together with the best num-
ber of livestock and acres of crop to
have on each individual farm, if the
account book is kept up to date.

ness and the correlation of the sever

Savage, vice president for Richland
county.
A constitution and bylaws was
adopted and the following resolutions
approved:
Whereas, the Cooperative Farmers
Elevators of Northeastern Montana
desire to be in the front ranks of the
cooperative movement for the SER
vice of the farmers of this part of
Montana in the cooperative market
ing Of all farm products and the collec-
tive buying of farm supplies usually
handled by elevator associations.
"And whereas, there now exists no
central agency among our elevators
for the discharging of these functions
now therefore, we have this day form
ed an association of the Farmers Ele-
vators of Phillips, Valley, Roosevelt,
Richland, Sheridan and adjacent coun-
ties.
Through this association it is our
purpose to better serve our farmers
in buying of cooperative supplies and
selling their grain and other farm pro-
ducts and of ultimately forming a
closer association or merger of our
elevators to these ends.
"And provided further, that the
vice-presidents from the respective
counties shall serve as committee of
investigation of the several central or
merger elevator organizations now
developing in the northwestern states
and shall report back to this organiza-
tion at a subsequent meeting to be

his father come to Scobey at once.
At the time of his visit to the bank
he informed the officer who waited
upon him that he would not be here
when his father arrived and that the
bank was to permit the elder Lough
free access to his (Joe Lough's) safe
ty deposit box. About noon he called
at one of the local livery barns where
his brother Charles is employed and
failing to see his brother who was
then at dinner, apparently went di-
rect to the Hoyle residence and the
killing followed soon after his arriy-
al there.
An examination of the safety depos-
it box at the bank revealed a mes
sage to his father giving certain di-
rections as to the disposition of prbp-
erty and also the information that the
two women (meaning Mrs. Hoyle :, nd
Mrs. Fraime) would not bother hA n
(W. H. Lough) any more. He ala ,
registered letter at the local postf
office addressed to his father in this
city, apparently in the hopes that his
father would receive it soon after
his arrival in Scobey. A note was
also found on Lough's body to the
effect that it was his intention to
commit the crime.
The father, w. H. Lough, Charles
Lough of this city, brother who but
recently returned from military SER
vice after spending about two and a
half years in the army; another broth
er whose home is in Minneapolis, and
Mrs. Lucy Eldred of this city are the
remaining relatives of Joseph Lough.
Mrs. Hoyle leaves a daughter about
16 years old and a son 10 years of
age. Mrs. Fraime is survived by a
small son 3 years of age.

SC0BEY MAN KILLS SISTER
and NIECE SUICIDES

Scobey, Mont, Jan. 2S-Joseph C.
Lough, well known resident of this
section, whose farm is about Is miles
from this city, shot and instantly killed
his sister, Mrs. Ida Hoyle, and his
niece, Mrs. Lillian Fraime, at the
home of Mrs. Hoyle in the northern
part of this city, last Monday after
noon, about 1870 o'clock. Lough then
shot himself.
The cries of the three-year-old child
of Mrs. Fraime attracted the atten-
ton of neighbors who upon entering
the house found the bodies of Lough
and Mrs. Fraime in one room and
that of Mrs. Hoyle in the other Near
Lough's body lay .32 automatic re-
volver from which at least ten shots
had been fired and which was evident

edy. DR.. T. w. Collinson was i'm

examination showed that all three of
the participants in the affray were
dead. Chief of Police Gilbert Bake

lector who will soooner or later call
upon every farmer for a statement rel
ative to his income tax. The meeting
will be conducted in the form of a
round table school, and every one
will have an opportunity to ask ques-
tions and offer suggestions. Every
farmer should know how to figure his
income tax. Many farmer has paid
income tax that he should not and
others more than their share. If you
keep farm account book up to date
you will know the amount of your
income tax and so will the internal

method of determining the amount of
taxes to be paid.

REDS ARE CONDEMNED
BY SAMUEL GOMPERS
Labor Leader Brands BOlshevism
Menace to All Organized Labor
and Cites Examples.

Writing in the current number of
the Federationist, official organ of
the American Federation of Labor
Samuel Gompers condemns Bolshevism
Completely, finally and for all time. u
The American labor leader declares
he doubts whether the propaganda
which emanates from the Bolshevist
organization itself is more effective
than that conducted by those who
claim to be entirely detached from
Russian influence and Russian pay
rolls" He says he doubts whether
publications issued by Russian Boil
shevist agents have as great an effect
in America as those (which like to
be known as Journals of opinion such
as The Nation, The Dial and The New
Republic.
Mr.. Gompers makes an extended
reference to the argument that the
American people know little about
what is going on in Russia and the
argument that it is unfair and un-
wise to pass judgment.
at is not necessary" says Mr..
Gompers, "for Americans to know at
all times just what were the exact
conditions in Germany. 1t was nee
essary only to know what was the
rules it operated. We do not have
form of government existing in what
to wait for information about the
form of government existing in what
is called soviet Russia. All the in
formation necessary to the passing of
judgment on Bolshevism and the sys
tenn of government and as state of
society, is at hand from sources that
are authentic"
Quoting from Bolshevist official doc
uments to show the extent of massed
terror by the Bolsheviki, Mr.. Comp
ers declared that "the economic con-
dition in internal Russia at the pres
ent time has absolutely nothing to do
with the merits or demerits of the Boil
shevist philosophy of government"
and adds "that it should have no in
fluence in determining the judgment
of any person upon it as SUCH" He
quotes as the most direct information,
a dispatch from Russian trade union
lists to w. A. Appleton, president of
he international Federation of Trade
unions, which declares that Bolshe-
visits have split up the reserve funds
oil trade unions, throttled the labor
press, killed labor organizations, split
up trade unions as class, and put
down strikes by "force of arms and
plei tiful executions"
I've know about Russia. We know
about Bolshevism. We know the au-
tocrlaic concept that underlies the
minority dictatorship which is hailed
to tie world by its dupes and advo-
Gates, as the most perfect state of So
ciety yet devised. We know about
it and we condemn it completely, fin
ally and for all time"

no, in order that he might confer
with his sub-district superintendents,
all Of whom were present with the ex-
ception of Rev. R. H. Stone of Havre.
The sub-district Chairmen who were
in attendance included Rev. Jesse
Bunch of Fort Benton, Rev. Reuben
Dutton of Redstone, and Rev. Muir
den of Saco. Rev. Durand, the new
district superintendent of the Milk
River district, was also present.
During the morning and afternoon
meetings took place and at $3.50 in
the evening a banquet was held of
the officiary of the church and their
wives or husbands as the case might
be. About fifty were seated to the
bountiful repast, after which short
addresses were given by the visiting
clergymen. The address of the eve
ming was given by Rev. Mecklenberg,
who with convincing power appealed
to his hearers for a systematic plan
of action in the campaign, arousing
new interest and life in the work.
In a few we'll chosen words Rev.
Jeffery, pastor of the local church,
welcomed on behalf of his people the
coming of Rev. Durand, as their su-
perintendent, and greeted him as one
wisely selected to fill the office left
vacant by the death of Brother Van.
In his response Rev. Durand stated
that he was not going to attempt to
fill the place of Brother Van, which he
considered to be impossible, but would
simply endeavor to fill his position.
His remarks were such as to win the
appreciation of those present, who are
gratified with the future prospects of
the church.
During the evening the male quar-
tet sang and Mr.. Rasey favored the
gathering with solo. Instrumental
music was furnished by Miss Hirrling-
er on the piano and by the Misses
Gladys and Orma Mcintyre on the
piano and violin.

A MONTANA REGIMENT
RECEIVES DECORATION
War Department Gives 362nd Infan.
try and 346th Machine Gun Bat
talon Decorations.

Recognition of the part the 362nd
infantry and 346th machine gun bat
talon played in the fighting in France
is given by the war department in sew
en- silver bands, four for the infantry
regiment and three for the machine
gunners, for their participation in sew
en- engagements in which the majority
of the commands were engaged and
in which they decided the policy and
strategy of their leaders in import
ant engagements. These bands will
be placed on the staffs of the regi-
mental colors which have already been
received by Adjutant General Phil
Greenan, when the war department
determined that the greater numbers
of the men in these organizations were
from Montana.
The custom of giving silver bands
to the organizations which fought in
battle, with proper inscriptions and
to be placed on the regimental flag
is nearly as old as the war depart
ment and is one of the reasons why
the colors of military organizations
are so zealously guarded. General
Greenan said he expected to receive
some of these silver bands for the
34Sth field artillery also.
The inscriptions on the bands sent
to the 362nd infantry are:
"Meuse-Argonne offensive France
September 26 to October 4, 1918"
"Meuse-Argonne offensive France
October 8 to October ~, 1913"
"Ypres-Lys offensive, Belgium, Oc-
tober 81 to November 4, 1918"
"Ypres-Lys offensive, Belgium, No
vember 10 to November 18th, 1915"
The inscriptions on the bands sent
to the 346th machine gun battalion
are the same as those for the 362nd
infantry except the organization was
not in the Meuse-Argonne offensive

bodies were removed to the under

prepared for burial. Funerals for
the victims of the tragedy were held
Thursday, burial taking place in the
Scobey cemetery.
Many theories have been advanced
as to the probable cause of the mur-

that trouble existed between Lough

in fact dating back at least to the
time when their father, w. H. Lough,
was arrested charged with the COM
mission of a crime against one of the
daughters of Mrs. Hoyle. The elder
Lough was released from the peni-
tentiary some time ago after serving
short sentence following a plea of
guilty. 1t is known that the younger
Lough championed the cause of his
father in that case and blamed Mrs.
Hcyle and her daughter, Mrs. Fraime,
for their part in the matter. Dispute
as to the ownership of certain prop
erty in Seobey had also caused bad
feeling in the family and was the
cause of Lough's coming to town on
the Saturday preceding the murder.
1t is also known that he conferred
with the two women Saturday evening
relative to settlement of the proper
ty matter.
That the crime was carefully plan
ned was made evident by tracing the
movements of Lough on Monday morn
ing. Following the purchase of re-
volver and two boxes of shells at a
local hardware store, he arrengad
with one of the local banks to wire
fifty dollars to his father, W. H.

Mrs. J. N. Lien passed away on
Friday, January 23rd, of general per-
itonitis, at her home about so miles

The deceased was born in England
and was 81 years Of age. She had
been sick but a few days when death
called her, and leaves husband and
two children to mourn her loss.

connection with Mrs. Liens death is
the fact that young sister whom she

in Glasgow Thursday morning, which
was but a few hours after the body
was brought to the undertaking par
lors here. The sister, whose name is
Miss Cullen, upon her arrival in the
city, went directly to the Red Cross
