The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1920-02-06

the tank had to go back-back across
the Aire. However, the railroad
bridge on which it came over a mere
10 minutes before-why, it wasn't
there any more. 1t had been blown
to matchwood, Of which the splinter
ed wreckage was floating downstream,
while all that remained from shore to
shore was the pair of cleaning rails.
Young Kenworthy started to the riv-
er's edge.
The lieutenant in the gun turret
who usually guides and instructs the
driver by code system of pats and
pokes, one on the neck, one on the
bean, one on the right arm, one on the
left, etc., each having meaning all
its own, even down to asking for a
cigarette, found his list of signals
unequal to the occasion. So, crouch
ing down, he bawled in Kenworthy's
ear, above the deafening hubbub of
the tank: "You can never cross on
those d rails"
Kenworthy's answer, which was
drowned in the roar of the engine,
was growing: "The hell I can't" or
words to that effect with trimmings.
Anyway, he did. The tank did
tight rope walk across those two rails
and reached the opposite shore in
safety.
When the fun was over, kenworthy
was S. 0. L., all right, for his A. w.
0. l.. status had to be adjusted His
case was complex. 1t had no prece-
dent. A compromise of some kind had
to be effected. He probably should
have been given the D. S. C. and then
shot at sunrise. AS it worked out,
however, he didn't get either.
kenworthy's story is worth telling,
If for no other reason than that it
is true to the spirit of branch of
the service that necessarily calls upon
adventurous souls throughout the ar
my, summoning them to a life that
fairly bristles with excitement and
danger and opportunities.
The people of northeastern Montana
will have the opportunity to see this
feat duplicated at the big army show
that will be held at Glasgow the week
of February 18th to 22nd inclusive.
FARM BUREAU PROGRAM.
The short course that the farm bu-
reau is planning for the farmers of
Valley county is going to be real ed
ucational affair. The farm bureau
was granted speakers for three days;
one day more than any other place
along the High Line, and we are sure
going to make good use of their time.
The speakers are from the Montana
agricultural college and are special
lists in their lines. The program is
crowded and therefore it is necessary
that part of the program be given in
the afternoon. The ladies' part of
the program will certainly be inter-
esting, as Miss Quaw, author of "The
Long TRAIL" will help entertain the
ladies'.
We are working hard to make the
three day short course a success be-
cause we want to make it an annual
affair, and to do so we must prove to
The extension service of the Montana
agricultural college that we want one
and are back of it, and the best way
20 prove this is for everyone to turn
'ut and attend the program at one
