The hall was filled to its seating capacity and every officer was at his station when the meeting was called to order on Monday evening. The coun- cil commander gave way the forepart of the meeting to Mrs. Clark who very ably presented the canse of the Y, W. c. A. in our city. The talk Of Mrs. Clark showed the character of work being undertaken by that organization and the high ideals to which it aspires. She stated that she was not asking for any money at this time but the boys were so inspired by her appeAa for better womanhood thsn it nnani | mously voted to give the oS82 nization $50. There were a great many items of importance discussed, but running through the golden thread of our con versations, one thought seems to pop up at regular intervals it was, eats, eats, eats; 1t was heralded from the council commander and echoed Back from the adviser ifeutenanant, until at last the camp adjourned to the recep- ton room where the ladies on our en- tertainnent committee had prepared d feed, and needless to say we attacked it with all the vigor that a camp Of choppers could command. After tho feed, that grand old air, "On with the dance let joy be unconfined,' came echoing through the forest aud the midnight hour came all to soon for the r:erryn1akerS. We were glad to learn that Sovereign Dameron and McBrAy were both improving and getting along fine.

WIRE CLOTHES LINE

A clothes line made of wire often rusts. This trouble may be eliminated by painting the line with a light-col- ored paint, or enameling it. The proc ess also saves labor, as the only clean ing necessary is the application of a damp cloth immediately before the line is to be used.

Tempe Union High School Where the leaves were rustling softly. And the sun was sinking swiftly, OCT the mountains crept the twilight, And the night birds started ehirpink- Chirping weird and lonely phrases. Stood the lawn beside the water Water cold and clear reflecting Shadows of the gloomy forest, Where the wild things come for shelter, Where no man had come to frighten, Or disturb shy natures children. Where the mink. and deer. and beaver Lived together, fearing nothing Till the long and doleful winter, Winter cruel and 50 relentless, Filled the brooks with snowy white Turned the forest from it's greatness To a world of crystal blankness. This they feared, the cold hard winter!

The Call of The Desert

Q, when my heart is sad,
 And all the world is blue, 1 seem to hear a call.
 Great desert land, from you How small my cares do seem, When I stand here all alone, The past seems like a dream, And a future bright l own. There's a freshness in the air, The sky's a deeper blue, There's freedom everywhere, And nature here's all true. An ever solemn stiffness
 Over all doth pervade. A magnitude and splendor. That no man hath made.

We were looking out of the train window at the sun hanging low over the Salton sea The water appeared to be a sheet of fire. and as we looked farther out, the shadows from the mountains gave it beautiful tints of violet and blue.

GREENER PASTURES.

In looking around for opportunities
it is easy for most of us to see how
our neighbors in other cities and 9TH
er states are enabled to prosper. From
distance opportunities always loom
large and while we speculate on the
luck and advantages of others, the
possibilities under our noses are over
looked.
The greener pastures are always a
little beyond reach. The fascination
and enchantment of other places pull
strong on our natural inclination for
wander-lust. Often we obey the i'm
pulse and as often we are disappoint-
ed.
Look about you. Take the perspec-
tive of the outsider in viewing the
possibilities Of your own business. Do
not resent constructive criticism but
encourage it. Cultivate the friend
ship and acquaintance of ambitious
people. Your opportunity and your
future depend upon you. Both are
right here in Glasgow waiting for you
to "do it now."

GLASGOW'S BAND.

The Courier believes that the music
loving people of Glasgow have great
opportunity in the presence here Of
Director S. M. Malanes who will take
charge of the Glasgow band. He is
a man of wide musical experience, hav-
ing filled engagements in some of the
largest musical centers in the Unit
ed States and Europe. He has been
associated with the largest and most
noted symphony orchestras in this
country. The chamber of commerce
is to be congratulated on securing
the services of Director Malanes for
the people of Glasgow and it is hoped
that those who desire musical train
ing under the tutelage of an expert
will take advantage of the opportun-
ity which has been brought to their
door.

CLASS PLAY SETS
~ HIGH STANDARD

The annual class play of the senior
class of the Glasgow high school, "The
Private Secretary" given May 14-15,
has been pronounced by many persons
to be one of the best class plays ever
given in the high school. 1t sets a
high standard for the succeeding clas-
ses.
The comedy of the play devolves
chiefly upon the Private Secretary, for
many amusing situations arise when
that delicate and scholarly young man
is forced to change Identities with a
dashing spendthrift.
Special mention is due Erskine Kent
in his role as the Private Secretary.
He developed the mannerisms of the
Private Secretary exceptionally we'll
and was responsible for the greater
share of the laughs of the play.
Olive Mckay, as a spiritualist en-
thusiast, gave remarkable attention to
the acting of her part, and entered
into the spirit of her character with
out reserve.
F. Each person in the play was COM
mended very highly for the excellent
manner in which the part was taken.

THE COAL SITUATION.

The general public throughout the
United States is being warned to pur-
chase their next winters supply of
coal now. The situation has aroused
the interest of Montana's public serv-
ice commission as we'll as the COOP
Grafton of the commercial clubs in the
state. Everyone is talking coal and
the degree of accomplishment may
only be measured by the amount of
suffering saved the people during the
next winter. Talking is all right, but
the coal must actually be purchased
and placed in the Easements of the
consumers before the situation is aided
materially.
The same note of warning was
sounded last summer by coal operators
and coal dealers. The public took
the matter lightly, possibly assuming
that some ulterior motive lay behind
the extensive advertising pressure
brought to bear. 1t is a we'll known
fact that the public failed to heed
the warning to any appreciable extent
and we know what suffering was
caused in this community and in 9TH
er parts of the country.
The facts are that the coal mines
running at full capacity during the
coming summer months will be un-
able to pile up sufficient surplus to
take care of the consumers who wait
until the last minute to purchase the
coal supply. This alone would cause
a serious panic next winter. But in
addition to this phase of the situa-
tion is the fact that serious coal
car shortage may be expected later
on in the season. At the present time
these cars are available for the trans
portation of coal but with the move
ment of the crops in several months,
the situation is bound to become acute.
The only way to save yourself and
your neighbor from suffering next
winter is to buy your coal now. Per-
form your duty and help make the
movement contagious.

LET US HONOR BOTH.
,(From Miles CITY Starr


Miles City is reported to have
among its visitors young man who
bears in his body the ineffacable
marks of having performed one of the
most heroic acts of war full of
brave deeds. The young man is Ed
ward Roberts, whose eyesight was de-
stroyed by the brutal Huns because
he would not give them information
they asked about the Americans. One
eye torn from it's socket, the sight
of it's mate eliminated by some pro-
cess, Mr.. Roberts did not describe to
the Stars representative, done in cold
calculation and beastly revenge while
the young man was in their hands
powerless, a prisoner of war and as
such entitled to all the consideration
to which prisoners of war are treated
among civilized nations.
When the war broke out the Ger
mans were accused of atrocities on the
Belgians and French Many Miles
City people considered the tales un-
believable. They could not see how
a human being could be so cruel to
another as to cut off the hands. Then
as the war progressed it was said that
even though the Huns might have
been savages at the outbreak of the
war, they had become more lenient
in their actions later on.
But here is young man, soldier,
who was robbed Of his sight as late
as the year 1918 for refusing to do
something which under the rules of
war the Germans had no right to ask
him to do.
Miles City should feel keen honor
in the fact that the young man was
a member of the militia company
which was sent from here and it
should forever deter anyone from
again sneering at the militia or ques-
tioning the courage of the boys who
compose it.
Many man can walk bravely
against rifle, machine gun or artillery
fire when his comrades are by his
side and it would be death as we'll as
disgrace to retreat But to defy the
enemy alone in the prison camp,
where the eyes of the multitude are
not there to see; to refuse to give
information which might be used
against ones fellow countrymen and
to take in place the cruelest of tor
lures and lose one of the greatest
of natures gifts, one which can nev-
err be restored-that takes courage
of the highest type.
All honor to the young hero and
to the brave young lady who reward
ed him by volunteering to share his
misfortune with him and to be his
eyes as well as his companion.

GOPHER POISON NOT
KILLING GAME BIRDS
Prof. Cooley of State College Denies
That Poisoned Oats Are Killing
Game and Song Birds.

Statements circulated in Montana
to the effect that game and song birds
are being killed in numbers by poison
ed oats are branded as unauthentic in
a statement issued by Prof. R. A. Cool
ey, entomologist at the Montana state
college, and G. A. Roosevelt, assistant
in the federal biological survey. "There
is not single authenticated case of
the poisoning of game birds by the
use of poisoned oats used in gopher
campaigns" says the statement.
The bait used in gopher eradication
in Montana consists of oats with
strychnine in mixture of other in
gradients. Game birds of the grouse
family, and including the prairie chick
en-, quail, domestic chicken and others,
are gallinacious birds and strangely
immune to strychnine, says the state
ment. At the college two chickens
were fed for Is days on a diet of pois-
oned oats and water without causing
any ill effects. At the end of 16
days the chickens were turned back
into the pens and the remainder of
the bait scattered for gophers. The
first gopher to try the oats that the
chickens had been eating died eight
minutes later.
1t is known that crows and mag
pies are occasionally killed by eating
the bodies of poisoned squirrels. In
an investigation carried on over the
state, the men in charge of gopher
poisoning work asked pointedly about
the destruction of birds. No reply re-
celved indicated that any birds other
than crows and magpies had ever been
Killed by the effects of poison. lnves-
tlgators at the state college, however,
believe that three cases may have been
authenticated were horned larks were
Killed by the poison. No farmer has
reported that even horned larks were
killed by the poison. No other "song''
bird has ever been known to have
been killed by eating poisoned oats
In truth, it is well known fact that
small birds do not care for oats. If
poisoned wheat were used in the 60
pher poisoning in Montana, it is stated
as possible that many birds would be
Killed. The fact that song birds dc
not care for oats is the reason that
this grain is used as the base for GO
pher poison in Montana.

highway for trips of 1000 miles or
more. We do not keep records of
trips less than 1000 miles, as we do
mot consider they are transcontinental
J in character. Each of the 10000 cars
recorded carried an average of three
persons to the car According to gov
ernment estimates, the average mon
ey spent daily by each person on the
road is four dollars. Many who camp
along the line will not spend over
three dollars, but this is more than
offset by the number who will spend
from five to six dollars. According
to the governments average of four
dollars per day and three persons to
the car, we have twelve dollars per
car daily.
Each of these autos was on the
highway at least ten days. At $12
dollars per car a day, this would mean
one hundred and twenty dollars spent
by the occupants of each car. Taking
our record of 10000 cars at S120 each,
we have total of S4,800,000. This,
l believe, is conservative, and it
should be borne in mind that there
were many other thousands of cars
on the highway making shorter trips,
all of them adding to the stream of
dollars.
The returns from motor travel are
not by any means confined to hotels
and garages, although, of course, they
receive a goodly portion. Many per-
sons prefer to camp along the route,
but they must have groceries, cloth
ing, ammunition, reading matter, SOU
venirs and incidentals. Motor trav-
elers, whether campers or hotel tran
sients, are liberal spenders at theatres
and refreshments parlors. l believe
every motorist buys some clothing dur
ing the trip, and the woman's ward
robe is replenished.
We are anticipating for 1920 an
even greater year for tourist travel.
In addition to the general campaign
wich promotes motoring and which
has been gaining in results yearly, we
have assurances that many caravans
of Shriners will use the highway to
reach reunion headquarters.
The highway is in fair condition
for travel at this early date, with only
a few bad stretches. By the first of
June the entire line will be in good
condition"

FOR THE GOOD OF THE CAUSE

The other day in an eastern city,
a member of the American Legion was
arrested for beating up man who
was parading about in soldiers uni
form but who had never been in the
army. The Legion post in the city
announced that it would pay the fine
in that particular case or in any case
of a like nature.
The spirit displayed is certainly not
subject to very serious criticism. The
boys are still proud of the uniform
and resent the wearing of it by slack
ers for purposes of fraud, false honor
and easy money.
