the First Methodist church of Glas-
gov was held on Monday evening in
the church. Rev. J. H. Durand, su-
perintendent of the Milk River dis
trict, was in charge. A splendid in
terest in the work of the church was
manifested, which was shown in at
tendance at the meeting and in the
approval of the reports Of the heads of
the various organizations of the
church.
The reports as given proved to be
but another evidence of the splendid
work of the church during the past
year under the leadership of their eff
ficient pastor, Rev. Joseph r. Jeffery.
The financial condition OF the church
as reported by H. j. Alden, secretary
Of the board of stewards, is excellent,
with every obligation met to date
The work of Rev. Jeffery as pas

the activities Of the institution has
advanced to q marked degree, and the
officiary Of the church are unanimous
~ requesting his return to this
charge for the coming year, and as an
evidence of their appreciation of his
work, the salary has been raised, the

Jeffery thanked the members for their
words and stated that though it was
his desire to return to Glasgow for
another year he would attend the con-
ference at Lewistown in August, with
an open mind as he was not yet as
sured that it would be best to return
owing to the continued illness of Mrs.

pressed throughout the city that his
return means much to Glasgow and it
is hoped that this will be made pos
sible.

FAREWELL PARTY FOR
MOORES and MOWATTS
Wolf Point Will Lose Moore and Mo-
watt Families, Who Will Leave
Soon for the West.

A farewell reception was given on
Tuesday evening in honor of Mr.. and
Mrs. C. o. Moore and Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilbert Mowatt. Both families will
leave within the near future for other
localities. DR.. Mowatt has all ar
-rangements made to locate permanent
ly at Los Angeles, California, and in
tends leaving soon by auto for that
place. Mr.. Moore, who for the past
two years has been the manager of
the Sherman hotel, has not yet decid-
ed on location, but will leave soon
for points in the west, where he will
likely locate.
DR.. Mowatt's intention to leave
Wolf Point has been known for some
time but the news of the decision on
the part of Mr.. and Mrs. Moore comes
as shock to their many friends here.
Mr. Moore has been one of our most
active and public spirited citizens. No
proposition looking toward the better
ment Of the city has been too large
for him to tackle. He has worked
tirelessly and unselfishly and to say
his departure is regretted is putting
it very mildly.
AS president of the Wolf Point
Shrine club, Claude has done much
toward cementing the feeling of
friendship between Wolf Point and
other cities and as token of appre-
citation for his work in this respect,
his club associates presented him with
beautiful ring bearing the emblem
of the Honorable Order.
In severing his connection with the
club, Mr.. Moore wrote letter to Sec
retary w. E. Rae in which he express
sed his regrets in leaving Wolf Point
and thanked the members for the
many couresies that he felt had been
extended him and Mrs. Moore.
Candidly, the departure of this
family from Wolf Point is public
loss and The Promoter joins the
Moore's many friends in expressing
regrets. That their lot in the future
will be cast in congenial surroundings
and that success may attend them,
wherever they decide to locate, are
the hearty wishes extended them. We
understand Claude will leave the last
of this week for points in the west,
while Mrs. Moore will go east for a
visit with her parents.-Wolf Point
Promoter.
1t is with regret that we learn of
the departure from this section of the
state of two such splendid families,
and their many Glasgow friends ex-
tend to them best wishes for their
happiness and prosperity in their new
homes.

CROP OUTLOOK is
NOT FAVORABLE

The hot weather of the past week
has done much to cut down the esti-
mates for the 1920 crop in this coun-
ty. Several fields that gave prom
Use of splendid yields ten days ago
have been badly damaged and Val
ley county will not average better
than half crop at best.
Reports from the north country are
somewhat better than in the immed-

Ian are excellent as they have had
several heavy showers in the past ten
