Glasgow Women's club was held on
Tuesday evening at the South side

Home Economics Department, with
Mrs. Shanks as temporary chairman;
and the other, the Literary Depart
ment, with Mrs. Behner as temporary
chairman. These chairmen will call
meetings for their departments in the

HOLDUP PRECIPITATES
RAID ON GAMBLING HOUSE

Last Friday evening while poker
game was in progress in the west part
of town all at once a knock was heard
at the door and the door tender asked
who it was, the reply came, Fred
James. No sooner the door was op-
ened when the said James told the
door tender to stick up his mitts. The
holdup man did not come in the room
but stuck his hand in, his face was not
seen. A dog that was in the room at
the time seeing the door partly open
ran out, going between the holdup's
legs which excited and caused him to
fire couple shots but no damage
was done.
When the shots were fired one of
the party, who is at least sixty years
old made a record dive through a
window that was higher than himself
and without any assistance and landed
outside on his head. He at once in
formed Undersheriff Galloway that
there was poker game being helduI
and that some were being killed.
Sheriff Martin and Galloway i'm
mediately went to the place of the
shooting. On reaching the place they
broke in and took possession Of the
house. The result is that the occu-
pants of the building who were taking
part in the game will appear before

American Education
Week December 4-1O

teachers hail the former soldiers as
comrades. This is just as it should
be. During the war the soldiers were
the front line of democracy, in the
emergency of war, repelling military
force by military force, in order that
the ideals of democracy might not be
overwhelmed. Now, as always in
peace time, the teachers are the front
line forces of democracy and progress,
operating again in the atmosphere OF
freedom which is essential to their
calling in the land of the free and the
home of the brave. Whether the rls-
ing generation of citizens shall be able
to think straight and Independently,
and shall 60 ahead in an attitude of ac-
Movement and humanity, is primarily
the responsibility of the teachers. Let
them continue to stand as firm at
their supremely critical post as did
our splendid soldiers when war in
verted the normal processes of our life
and invoked the cruel bayonet of bar
barous might as the arbiter Of the
disputed way. Let the peoples schools
continue to light the home, the farm,
the factory, the ballot-box, and-f
need be, in the cause of humanity and
true democracy,-let it hold the torch
of freedoms holy light above the lurid
battlefield.
This school district will enter into
the spirit and purpose Of american
Education Week" with enthusiasm.
Teachers and principals are requested
to arrange programs which will in
clude representatives Of student body,
teaching corps, and public.

AUTO ACCIDENTS
GREATER IN 1920

Deaths from accidents caused by au-
tomobiles and other motor vehicles,
excluding motorcycles, increased de-
cidedly in 1920 as compared with 1919,
the census bureau announces. Deaths
due to motor vehicles last year aver
aged within the death registration
area of the United States 10.4 per
cent per 100000 population, as COM
pared with 9.4 per cent in 1919.
Approximately 5000 persons We're
killed last year by motor vehicles in
the death registration area, which
comprises 80 per cent of the popula-
tion of the United States. The bu-
reau's figures, however, show that the
automobile is not nearly so dangerous
as in it's early days. In 1915 there
were two deaths to every 1000 motor
vehicles, while last year the ratio was
IL per cent.
The death rate from motor vehicle
California, amounting to 21.1 per 1O0,-
accidents last year was highest in
900 population.

SEAL
SALE COMMENCED
Montana Will Sell Three Million Seals
to Help in Health Campaign. Rasey
Heads Valley Drive.

The 9Th Annual Seal Sale of the
Montana tuberculosis Association was
launched November Oath and is being
conducted in Valley county by w. R.
Rasey. Mr.. Rasey has appointed Mrs.
Olivia Forster-Patton as chairman of
the Glasgow drive, Mrs. S. NJ. West
chairman at Hinsdale and Mrs. H. A..
Sampson at Nashua. H. o. Morgan of
Glentana and F. H. Smith of Opheim
will act as directors of the sale at
their respective cities. The Christmas
seal of 1921 is jolly, CHEEKY looking
seal, not at all gruesome, although
linked up with the dread word "tu-
berculosis." 1t is a message of good
cheer and happiness to the people who
receive it on their holiday mail, for
it stands for the curing of disease, the
making of stronger and healthier
children, and the prevention of i'll
health.
The penny seal of good health will
be sold all over the United States;
the Montana tuberculosis Association
has distributed three million seals and
confidently expects to sell them. 1t
is the hope of the Association that
every person will buy at least few of
these CHEEKY stickers. In this day of
the high cost of living one thinks of
a penny not buying much, but the
Montana tuberculosis Association
knows that a penny spent for a
Christmas seal goes a long ways, for
it buys three thinggs: D A thought
Of good health by the sender; (2) a
wish for good health to it's recipient;
(3) and a message of good health con-
veyed by the tuberculosis Association
to one who sorely needs it. Can a
penny do more?
The Montana tuberculosis Associa
tion is supported wholly with funds
raised through the sale; $3.50 of the
money raised remains in the state, the
other 59t goes to the National Asso.
citation, so even part of this reverts
to Montana through it's cooperation.
What is done with the money? II
enables the Montana tuberculosis AS.
sociation to carry on Health work
along the following lines: through
public health nursing demonstra
tions; through the Modern Health
Crusade; through clinics; through or.
ganization of Public Health Associa
tions, and through campaigns for ade
quate facilities for the tuberculosis O

Why do we sell the seals? Becaus
425 people died of tuberculosis il

5000 have the disease in active form

larger toll of lives than other prevent

Information is being sought by the
sheriff's office concerning William
Reed, who disappeared from his home

seen or heard from since. Reed,
man 70 years of age, lived alone in a
shack on his homestead which lies
south of the Sensiba brothers old

neighbors to look into his cabin in
the hope of finding a note or other
clue to his whereabouts. The found

manner, but why is mystery, as his
grain and wheat stacks were left ex-

Seed Loans To Farmers
In N. W. Being Repaid

In the face of another unfavorable
crop year farmers Of the Northwest
are gradually repaying the Govern
ment the loans for seed advanced
them early this year as an emergency
measure made necessary by three
years of total or partial crop failure
in drought-stricken areas. Total col
lections up to November Is amounted
to $286,000, according to returns re-
ported by representative of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
who are handling the work at the
temporary field office established for
the purpose at Grand Forks, N. Oak.
About $4,000 farmers received gov
ernment aid in the form of loans from
the $2,000,O00 made available by Con-
gress for their relief. AS result of
three successive bad crop years finan-
cial conditions among the farmers in
the stricken regions have been very
serious; many of them had exhausted
their credit and were unable to .pur-
chase seed for planting crops this
year. The Federal Government came
to their relief with credit of $2,OOO,-
900 to be applied by the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Within 20 days after the passage of
the act the department had perfected
an organization and began to make
loans to the farmers. In return the
farmers gave promissory notes on the
crops to be grown from the seed, pay
able November 1. Early in October
repayments began coming in, and the
work of collecting the loans has gone

join, the business men supplying what
small funds are necessary for the car

farmers pledging themselves to cui-
tivate certain acreage this coming
year, according to the system outlined
by Mr.. Campbell. Cards have been
prepared by the Development Asso-
citation for the keeping of accurate
records on all fields titled according
to this plan, this next year. On one
side Of the card the system is outlined,
the other side containing the pledge
and certified statement as to the re-
suit. Mr.. Fowler explained that the
organization of these clubs is going
forward very rapidly and that they
have new been completed in seventeen
counties and that indications are that
five hundred farmers as members in
five hundred farmers as members in
each county, and the acreage volun-

method averages 40 acres. He ex-
planned the wonderful influence, that
this sort of statewide experiment,
carried on by eight Of ten thousand
farmers will have on the State in gen.
eral in another year. 1t will be the
first time in the history of the United
States that so extensive a campaign
has been conducted along these lines.

suits have been tabulated by all of
the clubs in Montana, the Develop

According to the speaker, if these ex-
perimental fields produce the yields
confidently expected from these lands
alone, as much grain will be produced
in 1923, as the entire state produced in
1921. It is plan for everybody in
Montana, to take part in the big pro-
gram to re-establish courage and con-
fidence in dry land farming in Mon.
