VALLEY COUNTY LOSES
400 TO DANIELS
Registration Closes July 10th-Pri-
mary Election August oath
1000 Voters on List.

Daniels county will be constituted
August 9th, and will be ready for all
the duties of countyhood at that time.
The creation Of this county has some
interesting figures for the student of
elections and the significance of the
same This county will take from the
strength of Valley over four hundred
voters. The total number of voters
registered at the last general election
were 5543 and of this number 1886
voted, which means that 32O7 will
have to register in order to be able
to vote at the primary in August. Up
to date there is some 4000 names on
the registration list and many more
are expected to register before July
10th, the last day you can register for
the August primary. 1t is hoped we
shall have 5000 on the registration
list by that time. Let every citizen
keep in mind that it is his duty to
vote and help to establish sane gov
ernment.
The making of new counties seems
to be mania at this time, for there
are two new ones in sight, although
the petitions have not as yet been fill
led. These counties are Rock Creek
and Milk River.
Remember the primary election reg
istration closes July 10th. This is
45 days before the primary election.

METHODIST RECEIVE
$4,000 DONATION
To Build Church Next Year.-Com.
munity Ides to Be Realized-Pipe
Organ 70 Be Installed.

Ihe local methodist Episcopal
church has received the good news this
week that the Centenary Board of New
York had granted gift of ten thous-
and dollars toward the completion Of
the superstructure upon the now COM
pleted basement which is one of the
finest in the state and is the work Of
Rev. R. H. Stone, now at Havre.
This donation will require the rails
ing of $4,000 by the local church to
complete the edifice, which will make
a church worth $45,O0O. The donation
is to be paid in three installments;
two of $4,000 each and one of $4,000.
This money comes from what is
known as the centenary fund. Last
year the church put on a campaign to
raise $105,000,O0O and as a result of
the campaign realized a subscription
list of $170,OOO,0OO. The local organ
ization pledged $1,000 toward this
money, of which one-fifth has been
paid already, so they receive twice as
much as they pay in. The Glasgow
church is the only organization in the
north Montana conference to receive
a $4,000 gift, and the consideration
given by the board will be appreciated
by the local trustees.
The plan is toApcke live down-to-
date community center open seven
days in the week and ministering not
only to the spiritual needs of a peo-
pie but also to the physical and social
demands.
A business meeting of the member
ship will be held in the near future to
make plans for the new work. The
year will close August 18th. The ses-
sion of the north Montana conference
will be held at Lewistown, Montana,
on that date and at that time it will
be determined whether the present
pastor will be returned for another
year.

Labor Prevents Allen Choice.
The American Federation of Labor
had turned "thumbs down" on Allen.
Coolidge once had been branded, too,
but the mark was removed after the
rebuke Massachusetts, gave labor in at
tacking the governor for refusing to
permit the police Of Boston to strike.
Important, too, in winning votes to
Harding was the fact he lives in Ohio,
a pivotal state. Governor Cox of
Ohio is being considered by the demo-
Gratis for president or vice president.
The nomination of Harding, it is ex-
pected, will go long way toward ma
king the democratic ticket McAdoo
and Cox.
The treaty plank was compromise,
the labor plank was a compromise and
Harding was a compromise. Coolidge
apparently was the real choice of the
convention for it turned down Senator
Lenroot Of Wisconsin, as we'll as AL
len. Coolidge won by an overwhelm.
ing vote. Two things hurt Lenroot.
One because he is a senator and the
feeling had grown that the senate was
the convention. And the other
reason and more important, because
he halls from WISCONSIN.

MEMORIAL SERVICES
BY 0DDFELLOW LODGES
Hinsdale, Saco and Glasgow Lodges
Unite in Paying Tribute to De-
parted Brethren.

The Oddfellows lodges of Glasgow,
Hinsdale and Saco held their annual
memorial services at the Oddfellow's
hall in this city last Wednesday eve-
ming. About one hundred were pres
ent, but owning to the rain and the
threatening condition of the weather
all afternoon not may were able to
be here from the two out-of-town
lodges. There was, however, fairly
good representation from Hinsdale.
The program was in charge of w.
B. Shoemaker, who as chairman made
a very helpful Introductory address
showing the advantages of the memoir
ial day observation. The male quar-
tet followed with one of their popu-
lar numbers. Rev. J. R. Jeffery Of
the local Methodist church, was intro
duced and made the principal address
on the spirit of Oddfellowship and
called attention to reasons for re-
membering the men who have been
members of the local lodges and the
effect it has on ones own character
to appreciate others and to memoir
ialize their doings. Mr.. Ames of the
Hinsdale organization gave a very in
structive talk and brought the greet
ings of the Hinsdale brethren. The
male quartet closed the program with
a very appropriate memorial anthem.
The local Oddfellow lodge has a
membership of 95 and is receiving
some new members all the time.

DAN 0'TOOLE MEETS
ACCIDENTAL DEATH
BuYned BY Gasoline and Survives I've
Days-Death Follows I'm.
expected Sinking Spell.

The sad news was received in NASH
ua on Friday of last week Of the
death Of Daniel O'Toole. we'll known
in Nashua and vicinity. His death
occurred in very tragic manner. He
was working in garage when the &C.
cident happened. Following is an ac-
count Of the tragedy taken from the
Henderson, MIMI, papers:
A frightful accident happened Sat-
urday morning at the Lieske garage.
A pan of gasoline that was being used
to clean up car caught fire in some
manner. A half dozen men were
standing around when the blaze began
and then they scattered. Nels Con-
dreau, in trying to throw out the pan
got some of the burning oil on him.
self, Fred A. Lieske and Daniel
O'Toole were all afire in an instant,
and before the flames were smother
ed he was severely burned around
the hands, face and body. The other
two were also on fire but the flames
were extinguished in time to save
them from serious injury; they both
were scorched in places, however.
Dan O'Toole was taken to DR.. Due
los who gave relief to the sufferer,
and in the afternoon took him to st.
Johns hospital for treatment. AL
though in serious condition, and suf-
fering excruciating pains, it is said
that he has chances for recovery. His
many friends hope that he may pull
through.
Later-Mr. O'Toole succumbed tc
an unlocked for sinking spell Mon.
day morning.
The remains of the late DAME
O'Toole were brought to this city OF
Tuesday morning and taken to his
home where friends were permitted
to view them until Wednesday, wher
the funeral was held, with services al
St. Joseph's church. The interment
was made at the Catholic cemetery
The deceased was we'll and favorably
known here. He was a son of the
late Eliza O'Toole and the late John
O'Toole and was about Al years OF
age. He grew to manhood on a farm
near Winthrop, but for some years
was on his ranch in Montana.
Daniel O'Toole came to Nashua in
the year of 1908, where he filed on
a homestead on the south bench, upon
which he resided until the year 1914
when he moved to Nashua to reside
Since that time he has lived off and
on in Nashua until the past two years.
His many Nashua friends extend
sympathy to the sorrowing relatives.

| fort to all who come. Rest rooms,
ice cream parlors, baby shows, shoot
ing galleries, fountains of pure nectar
brewed in the hills on tap free to all,
and every device known to human
thought will be added to make things
a success.
If possible an airplane will be Sc
cured to furnish a few thrills for
those who love the adventures of the
birdmen. 1t is not certainty that
this can be done but the committee
would like to add this to the program
of good things if it is possible. Every
effort to furnish a big three-day
amusement will be made. iG
A typical wild west show will be
staged. The old time stampede with
all the old time accessories will fur
nish new zest to the day. These
old days are fast becoming memory
and it is we'll to review them once in
while. The baseball tournament
feature of the three days stampede is
worthy of notice. The tournament
will cover the three days period-July
8, 4, and 5. Arrangements are being
made with several good teams to play
with the Glasgow twirlers, and chief
among them is a Canadian team of
high repute. The Glasgow boys are
developing high degree of efficiency
in their playing until old time admir-
ers of the game find real sport in
watching the games. You will get
your moneys worth here alone and all
the rest of the good things thrown in.
The stampede will be put on by the
Milk River Stampede company Of
Hinsdale, who arranged real attrac-
tion last fall and later received con-
siderable publicity for their daring
riding in st. Paul, MINI.
1t is certain there will be plenty of
bucking horses and bad steers, wild
horse races, roping, bucking and bull
dogging that will satisfy the most ex-
acting. Daring riders such as Long
George Francis, who holds the worlds
championship for bulldogging. Curly
and Art Seeley and Monty Denham,
will be there-probably on the same
action. mickey, the bucking bull,
and "Shimmy," the horse that jazzes,
will be there as features of the stam-
pede.
Professor Malanes will appear for
the first time with the Glasgow band,
which has been busy for some time
getting ready for this exhibition, and
we are assured they will have some
real good music for US. Professor
Malanes is an artist of no mean de-
gree and no doubt will give US real
surprise. All the boys of the band
are very enthusiastic over the OUT
look for the bands future under the
wise and trained leadership Of the
professor.
Something doing every minute Of
every day while you are here and .
surprise at every turn. Remember the
8, 4, s, and remember the
place-Glasgow, on the fair grounds.
