Uncle Sam is in the second hand
furniture business and making sue
cess of it.
Temporary wooden shacks, erected
for army housing on Potomac Drive
are being used to house several mil
lion dollars worth OF office furniture
and equipment, bought for war use
and now discarded, which is being re-
habilitated under the supervision or
the general supply committee.
There are two big buildings full OF
typewriters-more than 1900; and
number of buildings crammed fun of
desks, chairs, filing cabinets, baskets.
and everything else used in a modern
office.
Twenty-Five skilled workmen are
repairing the damage done by war
workers in handling the business of
sending some millions OF men over
seas to stop the Hun.
At the time OF the signing of the
armistice there was several millions
dollars worth of such material on
hand. and the problem arose what
should be done with il. Should 1t be
sold for what il would bring on a
doubtful market? Officials decided
that If this great supply of furniture,
office supplies and equipment should
be sold. it would glut the market for
the time and disorganiZe the busi-
ness of many dealers and manufac-
turers Later, departments requir-
ing similar material would have to
GO into the market for it, with prices
considerably higher than at the be-
ginning of the war.

|PICNIC GA olN CHAPEL
" AS PLEASANT AFFAIR
Fine Program Rendered - Large
Crowd in Attendance-Splend-
id Dinner.

One of the most successful picnics
in the history of the Galpin chapel
was held last Wednesday at the chap
ell. 1t has been the custom of the
people of this community to come to-
gether annually for day of special
program and social amusement. 1t
is beautiful custom for the people
to come together in this way, to feel
the community spirit and to work for
the good Of the entire group. In
this time of talk about the community
center it is worth while to find class
of people like these with the interests
Of all at heart. The day has gone by
when it is enough to think of our own
little set and to work only for the
good of the few. 1t is the duty to
serve the entire community. This
the people there are doing. They are
looking forward to the day when they
shall have a better building and full
program by which they can give to the
young people better form of enter
tainment and instruction.
Superintendent Mahugh deserves
great credit for the way he has things
organized. We wish we were able to
give a detailed report of the excellent
numbers that made up the program
and to give our readers little bene-
fit of the many first rate ideas that
were presented. Several Sunday
schools were represented and all rem
dered special parts in the program.
The music was unusually good and
would be complimentary to many a
city organization.
The speakers from away were Rev.
J. C. Page, Rev. Jeffery, w. E. Rhodes,
H. J. Alden, Rev. Dickinson. Miss
Laura Sherman gave reading and
Miss Lucille Jeffery sang solo. Sum-
day School Missionary F. O. Flem-
ing was present and contributed in
terest to the occasion.
All returned to their homes and
felt that the day had been well spent
and are looking forward to the next
picnic year from now. The people
of Galpin are to be congratulated on
their fine community spirit.

BOY CAMP SUCCESS
WILL Be ANNUAL EVENT
interested Out-of-Town Parties In
spect Work of Camp and Pro.
nounce 1t Good.

The junior farm bureau camp
which has been in session in Glasgow
for the past week has been one of
the most interesting gatherings in
the history of our city. These boys
are here from two counties-Roose-
welt and Valley. Roosevelt furnishes
25 and Valley 80. The Roosevelt
boys are in charge of County Agent
Chase and the Valley county boys
are under the care of County Agent
Stebbins. The camp is under the i'm:
mediate supervision of A. J. Ogaard
of the state college at Bozeman, Mon
tana and is situated on the north
side near the north end of the viaduct
and the sessions are held in the high
school auditorium.
The boys were selected by lot and
no favoritism is shown in the least
degree. There were many boys who
wished to be in the camp this year
but it seemed best not to have too
many at the first camp. Next year
the number will be increased.
The work of the camp consists of
| practical demonstration in simple vet
erinary operations, stock judging,
farm planting, illustrated lectures, in
structional and entertaining movie
films. The work is conducted by spe-
cialists from Bozeman, county agents
from neighboring counties, and by
local talent.
This is the first camp of the kind
held in this part of the state and
several delegates have visited the city
to inspect the same with the purpose
of having similar gatherings in their
communities next year. The boys are
! all in fine spirit and seem to be in
spired with the desire to meet all
the conditions of the camp life and
to be progressive and down-to-date in
all matters pertaining to the farm.
Incidentally they are having the time
of their lives.
