Some Good Advice.
"Don't think too much of your own
methods. Watch other people's ways
and learn from them." This is good
advice, especially when bilious or con
stipated. You will find many people
who use Chamberlain's Tablets for
these ailments with the best results,
and will dc well to follow their ex
ample.
as queen of Egypt, of her love affairs
with both Caeser and Marc Antony,
Shakespeare has given the story in
his "Antony and Cleopatra," Sardow,
the great French dramatist, treated of
her in his "Caeser and Cleopatra,"
and Rider Haggard brought her forth
in his novel, "Cleopatra." She was
truthfully the siren of the Nile and
the William Fox production not only
illustrates her lotre affairs but reveals
the gorgeousness of her reign.
NUMBER SYSTEM IS TO
BE ADOPTED BY ARMY
Plan Expected to do Away with
Unnecessary Anxiety When
Casualty Lists Come In.
The government has adopted a new
system of numbering men in the army
in order to secure prompt and accurate
identification. A serial number is
assigned to each man, which will be
come pari: of his official designation
It will never be changed and never
-«to another S o|dier_ Care is
also taken not to give consecutive
numbers to men of the same surname.
It has been decided that there is no
need of numbering officers and civil
ians in the service, but for the en
listed men the number will always
be used in connection with his name in
records and reports
As soon as the records of the sol
diers on file in the war department are
properly numbered we shall expect no
more unnecessary anxiety on account
of similarity in names when the cas
ualty lists come in. The official num
ber accompanying the name will be
the mark of identification.
BADGER PICKUPS.
Farm work is in full blast now
Quite a bit of needing has been done
already.
Larfkin Dierson is working for A
C. Vertz this spring and Herman Val
entine is working for Joe Dorr.
Mr. and Mrs. Byron Hill visited at
A.C. Vertz's Tuesday evening. Byron
is looking for a good team of work
horses.
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Byer and fanv
ily spent a pleasant day at the Char
ley Rice home last Sunday.
Rev. P. A. White and daughter,
Mrs. Fitzgerald attended church in
Glasgow Sunday night, returning
home Monday.
Jack Beeton and Ole Mavway were
out hunting horses Tuesday.
We are glad to welcome our new
neighbor, Ole Mavway in our neigh
borhood, even if he is a bachelor.
Dame Rumor has it that he's not to
remain in "single blessedness"' much
longer.
The little infant child of Mr. and
Mrs. Ole Graving died early Monday
morning. It is not definitely known
what caused its death, as it had been
sick for the past six weeks. The lit
tle one weighed eleven and one-half
Dounds at birth and when it died it
hardly weighed six pounds. It was
born January 25, and died April 3,
making it 2 months and 7 days old.
Interment took place in the Glasgow
cemetery on Tuesday. Rev. Livdahl
preached the funeral sermon to a
large c-oncourse of sorrowôing friends,
who came to show their last tribute
of respect to the sweet little babe that
was too precious to blossom further in
this world.
The Norwegians held services at the
schoolhouse Sunday morning. A large
crowd was present. After the ser
mon the little Graving baby was
christened.
Mrs. A. C. Vertz called upon Mrs.
Barstad Tuesday afternoon.
The teacher, Miss Anderson, is
boarding at home now and driving the
car back and forth to school.
Miss Jual Vertz visited with Miss
Gladys Hill Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Byron Hill have moved
to the ild Mill's place. Some more
new neighbors we welcome into our
midst.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Hill and little
daughter, Mary, called upon the form
er's mother, Sunday.
The men in this vicinity met at the
schoolhouse Sunday afternoon to dis
cuss the gopher question. Feed and
seed question, and other perplexing
questions. They all with one accord
agreed this new gopher poison was
the best ever, and by persistent use of
same the country will soon be rid of
the gophers. But the feed and seed
question, especially the seed question
is as perplexing as ever. Several
around here sent in their application
for seed, but none as yet, for some
reason have gotten any. Several went
to town Saturday thinking they'd be
able to get it, but was told down
there, that they couldn't do nothing
till after April 15, that they'd have to
1° to the expense of sending a man
own to Telena, first, etc. The war
ciy is "Put in more crop, put in more
wheat, ye farmers do your bit for
Uncle Sam" and many other such slo
gans, but the farmers are in such a
jredicament, financially that they
lave help from some source in order
to get the seed to sow and it takes
feed to put it in. We understand the
county was bonded for $50,000 to help
the farmers get seed and feed to put
in their 1918 crop with and we're
wondering who is to be benefitted
therefrom. If it's to benefit the farm
ers, we hope "they" won't put it off
till too late.
THE BURIAL OF AN AMERICAN
SOLDIER IN FRANCE
The following beautiful tribute was
paid by the French to an American
soldier who died and was buried in
France:
France will never forget that the
children of the great and liberay
loving nation from beyond the seas,
animated by an admirable spirit of
self abnegation and without any other
ambition than to serve the cause of
humanity, hurried to the defence of
her sacred soil.
It is the new world which engraves
upon the bronze slabs of history the
expression of his infinite gratitude
for our illustrious forefathers who,
more than a century ago, shed their
blood for the independence of the Uni
ted States. Was there ever a most
sublime ideal of generosity and
honor?
_ President Wijson, the renowned
citizen who presides over the glorious
destinies of such a great republic has
he not expressed in beautiful terms
the following humanly sentiments:
"We are decided to defend our own
rights as a nation, and to defend also
the rights of free men throughout the
world. For this purpose we offer our
life and our goods. A new glory will
shine about our people."
Dear little soldier of America rest
in peace. Hereafter you are of our
family. Your last affectionate
thought have flown across the mighty
ocean to the hearts you loved, and
which, without hope, are watching
your return. Nevertheless you had
the sweet consolation, so dear to the
brave, to breathe your last, saluting
the Stars and Stripes of your mother
country. On this mournful occasion
may the sublime verses of Victor
Hugo make our hearts vibrate with
self-pride and hope in the expectation
of a prompt victory:
"Those who piously died for their
country have a right that people come
and pray on their graves. No name is
more deserving than theirs. All other
glory fades away and is deprived of
its worth. As a mother's voice lulls
her babe to sleep, so also the people's
praises brings to them gentle sleep in
their graves."
