FACING FAMINE FACTS

What viii you do? Decide after
you read about It. Here are eone re-
cent reports from Presbyterian mis-
slonarles who are cooperating with
the American committee of the
China Famine Fund. Chinese Guilds
and the rich are slow to give to them
unless money is under foreign (pre-
ferably American) management in
suring safe and wise distribution. The
world Is greatly indebted for its
knowledge Of famine conditions to an
informal committee headed by Rev.
T. Z. Scott, D. D., personally known
to the writer, who with Minister C. r.
Crane and his fine Christian wife. be-
gan early in August to gather data
from the missionaries scattered over
che flve famine stricken provinces.
This was the beginning of a big move
ment investigating conditions. AS
early as June some people had begun
to i've on leaves, roots and anything
that tended to sustain life. Novem-
Der report revealed a survey of 172
counties with a total of POSTS vii
lagos in which fifteen millions were
affected.
Under date OF December 10, 1920,
Rev. Chas. H. Corbett, a missionary
at Pekin, who was chosen executive
secretary for the Unitetd Interna-
tionai Famine Relief Committee in
nine popular counties, writes, sit is
a pathetic sight to see groups of ten
to twenty men, women and children
migrating in the hope of finding some
better place. We are now entering a
most serious stage of the famine as
the weather gets colder and the
bushes and leave sand seeds with
which they have been kept alive till
now are harder to get and their con-
dition is such that they can not re-
sist an epidemic of typhus or famine
fever"
People in our country basking in
the blessings of a Christian civiliZa-
ton, can hardly realize the dire and
desperate need of a people who in
normal times live on the edge of
starvation. The women and children
are the great sufferers.
At the present rate of relief only
1919 of the starving population can
be saved. VIII you do your part to
save a greater number? $1,000 will
save life till a new crop appears
next June.
February 9th will be observed in
many churches as China Famine Sun
day. The Sunday Schools as well as
congregations will be asked to keez
from starvation ten million Chinese
children. One cent meal or three
cents will keep a Chinese alive day
The undersigned will forward
promptly contributions to headquar-
: tiers in New York whence they are
cabled to Relief Organizations If

Dixon Signs Kirton Bill
On Naming Committeeman

Governor Joseph NJ. Dixon on We'd
nesday signed Senate bill No. 4, the
kirton measure for providing a legal
method for electing national commit
teemen from Montana for all political
parties. Formerly there was no
statutory provision for choosing the
committeeman and it has been the
custom for delegates to national con-
vcntions to make the selection.
The Kirton measure gives the state
central committee of each party power
to elect the national committeeman.
1t provides that upon the approval of
tie bill the state committee shall pro-
ceeG at once to make selection, and
the committeeman shall serve until
1924 and until his successor is quail
fed.
The text of the bill follows:
"Section l. The state central COM
mittee of each political party in the
state of Montana shall select one ma
tional committeeman, who shall repre-
sent said political party as member
of the national committee of said
party; said committeeman shall be
selected in each year in which pres

Wool Growers of Valley
County Form Association

30S,459,OO0 pounds of wool from the
1920 clip in the United States from
1865 900 sheep. The Montana clip
stood third with 17,751, 900 pounds, of
which only small per cent has been
sold. The state of Wyoming was first
in wool production with 33,415,000
pounds and the state of Idaho second
with 22,145,0 900 pounds.
Probably the most important prob
lem confronting the wool growers as
sociation is the finding of desirable
market for the 1920 and 1921 wool
clip.

were present at Glasgow on Thursday
were: w. A. White. Dave Cooper, Carl

PRESIDENT CALLS SPECIAL
SESSION FOR APRIL nth
President Requests the Senate to Sit
Again Tuesday as He Has I'm
pOrtant Appointments for
Confirmation.

Washington, March. 14-April 11th
was settled upon as the date for the
special session of the Sixty-seventh
congress; the first to be held under
President Harding's administration.
The announcement was received with
general satisfaction by senate leaders,
most of whom said they preferred
that date to April a, because of the
additional week it gave them to ar
range plans for the coming session.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the
republican leader, notified the senate
of the presidents decision late today,
after he and Senator Underwood of
Alabama, minority leader, had re-
turned from the White House. They
had gone to the president with mes
sage from the senate that it stood
ready to adjourn sine die unless there
was need for it to remain in session to
receive executive messages of act upon
additional appointments to government
offices.
The president, however, requested
the senate to meet at II O'Clock to-
morrow when he said he expected to
submit names of nominees for "im-
portant offices" vacated by resigna-
tions of democratic appointees. 1t was
said tonight that sine die adjournment
probably would be taken late tomor-
row.

Glasgow Chamber Of Commerce, and
on the days herein mentioned, this

LEGION DANCE PROVES
TREMENDOUS SUCCESS

The biggest dance of the season was
given last night by Valley Post No. Al
of the American Legion at the Fire
mems hall. The dance was given in
the form of st. Patrick's dance and
was well attended.
The hall was decorated in the Irish
national colors, the arrangement of
which was one of the best ever seen
locally. Splendid music was furnished
by Reynolds orchestra.
A special feature of the evenings
entertainment was the incorporation of
two "song tests" by the ex-service
men who appeared in uniform. Army
songs were sung in the old army style
and spirit. The whole audience joined
with the singers and everyone enjoyed
a genuine community sing as diver
sion and rest from a steady evening
of dance.
