FARMERS DAY
DRAWINGS TO
Open SEPT.
Calves from the Oakland Dairy
Farm, i'm Wisconsin Will
Be Main Awards.
Fifth Annual Program Is Again
Sponsored by Business,
Professional Men.

Glasgow business and professional
people are joining for the fifth year
to sponsor the annual Farmers Day
series here, at which valuable stock
and other prizes will be awarded for
ten Saturdays. The first Farmers
Day will be held Saturday, Sept. II.
AS last year, high grade Guernsey
calves to be awarded each Saturday
will come from H. R. Lobdell's Oak
land Guernsey farms at Mukwona-
go. Wis. Other valuable farm prizes
also will be given.
Exactly the same plan for the
drawings as last year will be fol-
lowed. Any farmer or his wife is
eligible for the prizes, but must be
present on the lot to claim a prize
if his name is announced. There is
no charge of any kind made. A
master list of bona-fide county
farmers has been prepared for the
drawings and from the list a cap
sule has been prepared for each
name.
Farmers or their wives are urged
to check at The Courier before
drawings begin to make certain
that their names are included.
The Wisconsin Guernsey breeder
is now making tentative plans to
bring out additional milk stock for
sale TO county farmers, including
some long yearlings and two-year-
olds. Farmers who are interested in
such stock or in placing orders for
it should call either on County
Agent James K. McGibney or at
The Courier office.

Edition
OF Army's Paper
Sent by Soldier

From North Africa this week came
greetings to Glasgow friends and a
copy of the African edition of Stars
and Stripes, army newspaper, from
Corp. John w. Cross, member of the
intelligence section of a squadron
formerly stationed at the Glasgow
airbaSe.
Since leaving Glasgow, he says, he
has visited Bermuda, CaSablanca,
Rabot, Constantine and TuniS. mo
doubt you've been reading about the
boys that once roamed the skies OF
Montana and are now doing a swell
job on Italy and France" he adds.
Stars and Stripes is a well-edited
and well-written tabloid that Grams
much news into eight pages. The
G. 1. version of the comic strip
Terry and the Pirates is attrac-
tive. While most of the front page
is given over to news of the Medit-
erranean theater, there is room for
headline about Tommy Manville'S
seventh wife.
The newspaper also has a lively
letters column and a poets corner.
Flashes from the Front" is an in
teresting column of human stories
from the front, such as this:
Capt. Clarence L. Gilbert of Bur-
lingame, Calf, commanding a can
non company, was too thankful at
himself alive to be embar-
rassed- shrapnel had ripped a hole
in the seat of his pants but had not
even scratched him.

STAYLONGER
AS CROP Aid
Employment Manager Says the
Hope Is to Keep Them
Till Sept. 10.
North Area Farmers Pleased
with Efficient Help of
Service Men.

More than 100 soldiers from Fort
Harrison, who have been helping
harvest crops in Valley, Daniels and
Sheridan counties, have been grant
ed an extension for IAN indefinite
period" it was announced WedneS-
day by A. j. Fey, manager of the
local employment service office, who
has been in charge of placement of
the service men.
1T is hoped that they will be al
lowed to remain until the peak of
the harvest is over, about Sept. TO-"
Mr.. Fey said. They established
headquarters at Scobey on Aug. II.
There were 100 in the unit original
ly, but about 80 who had applied
for home furloughs have since left.
Mr.. Fey has been assisted in
placement by Robert Hughes, Dan
iels county agent, and by Pat Hor-
ton, employment service representa-
tive.
Many farmers have expressed
themselves as never having had such
a good, clean and willing group of
harvest workers." Mr.. Fey COM
mented. The detachment is in COM
mand of Capt. Edward w. Smith Sr.
Soldiers are all experienced truck
drivers and many had operated
farm tractors and combines in civil
ian life. Those of the unit not en-
in such capacities went in a
group to shock grain and have so
far shocked more than $500 acres.
The men are directly paid going
wages. The contingent was first au-
thorized to remain until Aug. 25,
then given an extension to Sept. l,
followed by a third extension.

and annoyance.
The collector said that farmers
will not be required to file their es-
Jimated returns until Dec. Is. Their
employees, however, anyone working
'or a farmer, must file by Sept. Is,
f such employe has sufficient in

Coming Year.
Three Districts Abandoned and
Become Part of Glasgow
Number 1.

Most rural schools in Valley coun-
tv will open for the school year
Monday, Miss Ella HammerneSs,
county superintendent, said this
week. The Glasgow schools will open
Wednesday, but rural schools in the
district will open Monday. The Van
dalia school will open Sept. 10.
The Bjorklund school in the
Nashua district, which was closed
last year, will reopen with Miss
Elizabeth Funk as teacher.
Three districts which are closing
their schools are the Steen district,
south of Hinsdale, which will send
its pupils to the Hinsdale schools;
the Barnard school west of Opheim,
which will send its children to OPP
helm, and the Lone Pine school in
district %, which is in the bombing
range area. The children who would
attend this school will be cared for
in several other schools.
Three Abandoned
Three districts we're declared
abandoned by Miss Hammerness III
accordance with a law requiring the
county superintendent to declare
a district abandoned which has not
conducted at least II months ot
school during the past 3 years, or
pl divided bus transportation accord
ING TO a regular contract. The aban-
doned districts are Rose Hill No. 8,
Gibson No. 10 and Victory No. II.
All three have been Incorporated III
the Glasgow district.
The Rose Hill district was Great
II 1-,+ rs lor4 nf GlaG0nuf district
in March. 1918. The Victory school
district was created from part OF
Glasgow in 1919. The Gibson district
was first formed in 1911 from parts
of the Glasgow the HinSdale town
and Hinsdale rural districts anu
was known until 1914 as No. 81,
when the number was changed 10
No. 10. Part of this district was tax
en- in 1920 to form the Timber
Creek district To- known as the
Lone Pine district.
Most Teachers Hired
Teachers have been engaged for
all schools in the county but two,
and it is expected these will be en-
gagged before Monday. This is an
unusual record at the opening of
school Miss HammerneSS said, and
in view of the difficulty of securing
teachers at this time, she feels that
the valley county schools are very
fortunate in being provided for.
Miss Hammerness left Wednesday
for Terry to attend a meeting OF
county superintendent. She was
accompanied by Miss Aagot Liam,
county nurse.

state program, wives of service men
in grades from private through mas
ter sergeant may receive maternity
care and medical and nursing serv-
ice for their babies without cost to
the family and from physicians of
their own selection.
This was pointed out today by the
home service section of the Valley
county Red Cross chapter, which
said such assistance had already
been rendered a number of mothers
in GLASGOW. 1t was pointed out,
however, that funds are not unlim-
tied and it is hoped that applica-
ton will not be made by any woman
financially able to pay for hospital
or medical care.
