Does Business.

The Citizens State Bank of Scobey
which was closed for reorganization
some few weeks ago, opened its doors
to business on February 9th. The in
stitution is now operating under a new

requirements.

controlled by Minnesota capitalists. 1t

new officers of the bank are: H. ]
Christensen, president; William T
Stephens, vice president; l.. V. Hansen

THIS CALLS FOR
REAL CHARITY
Valley County Asked for $1,150
to Help Feed the Millions of
Starving European
Children. w.,
AN AMERICAN OBLIGATION
Europe Must Take Time in Her Re-
adjustment. Normally Cannot Re-
place Devastation in Day. But
Starving Children Left in
Wars Wake Must Be

The Glasgow Courier responds to an
appeal for the helpless and starving
children Of Europe. There are many
charitable organizations worthy of
support that request our attention, but
few that have carried the appeal of
Mr.. Hoover's European Relief Council
organization which now is trying to
save 3,500,000 destitute and helpless
little children in Central Europe from
starvation.
An appalling emergency exists in
eastern and central Europe The hope
that widely planted crops would yield
an adequate harvest in 1920 was not
realized. Hunger, privation, suffering
and death still march unchecked.
Economically and politically, the
runined world must wait, but there is
one cry that cannot be disregarded. A
minimum of three and one half million
and starvation. Unless aid is rendered
at once, a vast unspeakable tragedy
will follow.
1t is physical and financial impossi-
bility that these children be made COM
|fortable. 1t is merely proposed that
as many as possible be saved from
actual starvation by receiving one
meal a day, and this to those whose
need is most imperative.
In many parts OF that desolated
world one meal day is all that stands
between these children and death. Just
as soon as these children have reached
a grade of improvement, they must
step aside to make way for those more
miserable than themselves.
Undernourishmen produces diseases
particularly its own. Starved and
puny bodies make quick fuel for dis
ease. tuberculosis and typhus merely
touch them and they are gone. Hun
dreds of thousands of children in Eu-
rope have never tasted milk in their
| lives. Mothers unnourished and i'll
provided bring into the world babies
doomed before they see the light of
| day. Medical aid must be furnished,
together with clothing and food, if
there is to be tomorrow to follow the
horror and the desolation Of today.
Ten dollars will save the life of one
of these children until the next har-
vest. Every dollar that we subscribe
goes othe European Reief Council
bn New York without a penny of de-
duction in this state The people Of
Valley county are asked to raise S115O.
There should be many of US who can
give more than ten dollars, scores who
can give ten dollars or less.
Make your checks payable to the Eu-
ropean Relief Council and send them
direct to that organization at Bozeman,
Montana. a list of all persons sub
scribing from this county is promised
to this paper and the list of contribu-
tors will be printed as soon as re-
ceived.
Let US prove by our generous contri-
buttons that the spirit of fatherhood
and motherhood still is strong in Glas-
gov community.

"HUMORESQUE" DRAWS LARGE
CROWDS SUNDAY AND MONDAY

The production "Humoresque" which
was exhibited at the Orpheum theatre
last Sunday and Monday proved the
biggest drawing card of the season,
ecord crowds attending all exhibitions,
The film production canr lightly, and
without a doubt, be classed among the
very highest that has ever been ex-
hibited in Glasgow. 1t is high-class
from beginning to end; one of those
shows which leaves with the public
something good and wholesome, which
does not pass with the closing of the
last scene. On Sunday and Monday
next Mr.. Survant is offering an excep-
tional film entitled "The Jucklins," a
high-class production which is taken
from the famous classic novel by Opie
Reed.

THE DON'T CARE AGE,

All over the country people just
don't care. 1t may be said almost
that the chief characteristic Of the age
in which we live is that nobody gives
a darn. An elderly man who had de
voted the better part of his life to
loving and intelligent service in one Of
the great libraries of the world with
out becoming either rich or famous,
recently remarked: Nobody seems
to care anything about this library any
more. Most of the people working
here are paid several times as much
as formerly, but they come and go
without the slightest apparent interest
in the welfare of the library. Former
ly we considered it a disgrace if IL
took five minutes TO get book for a
reader Now 1t takes twenty minutes,
and no one except a few Of us old
fellows seems to care.
But the strange. sardouic fact is
that these multtudes Of people who do
not care nevertheless expect to be cared
for Never before have people de-
manded so much Of the world in com
forts and luxaries, and been willing to
give so little in return. A great edu
Gator recently declared that egotlsm
is the chief cause of the present un-
rest. Mans attention and interest
have been turned IN upon himself TO
such an extent. asserts this authority,
that he feels himself quitei superior
to all that has gone before, and totally
without interest in what may come

WRITERS TOO SELF-CENTRED
Profession Heroes, is Charge
Made by Critic

Someone is always explaining what
is the matter with American literature,
American drama and even American
poetry, and the latest diagnosis Is that
they are suffering from in-breeding.
The critic who has made this dis
cOvery says that the literary and drs-
matte world has become too Self-cen-
tered; is going around in a circle In a
manner which produces wheels within
wheels; and for this reason authors
and playwrights are forever flying Off
at an inartistic tangent and prOdue-
ing Jazz literature and drama.
The favorite hero OF the novelist is
the novelist, and he writes too much
about his early struggles with a cold
and hard-tsted world; the drnmatiSt
takes the poor, oppressed writer Of
plays, or for Il diversion the poor but
gifted actor, as his hero ami draws
out their life story of Encouragement
and suffering and final triumph 10 a
fearful length
The poet is even accused OF prefer
ring to write Of q poet rather than of
anybody or anything else ON earth; Of
the poet whose sorrows have pressed
so heavily upon him that he is forced
10 cry out I'm sounds which. being inter
preted, are poetry. To one who gives
this criticism consideration there
seems to be something in Inlay
