evening papers are given over eX-
ciusively to the American note. The
papers give it the largest headlines

people regard this one of the most

LONDON, "wednesday, Dec. 90
All morning papers comment al
length on the American government
note to Great Britain, and agree that
the American protest should be met
by the British government in the
same spirit of friendly good will as
is shown by the note. Generally,
however, the newspapers are inclined
to await the actual text of the note
before indulging in detailed criticism
of it. In the meantime they point
out how, inevitably, serious difficul-
ties arise whenever the question of
neutrality is involved. Moreover, they
are inclined to dispute the theory
that Great Britain alone is RESPONSE
BILE for the dislocation of the world 5
trade, arguing that even had she re-
mained neutral, the fact that a num-
Der of other nations were involved
in hostilities must have had a detri-
mental effect on the worlds COM
merce. In any case, they say Great
Britain is not responsible for the war.

Success Assured.

Increased interest among the farm
ers of Valley County,, coupled with
the assurance of enormous yields of
grain makes it certain the Valley
County Fair this year will be stu
pendous success. Inquiries are COM
ing to the Secretary's Office constantly
from farmers in every part of the
county relative to the premiums to be
awarded. The competition for prizes
is going to be lively and most inter-
esting for everyone and will surely be
a most valuable event in many ways
for the farmer and merchant.
Word has been received from the
Montana Brewing Co. and the Amer
ican Brewing Co. both of Great Falls,
Montana, each Offering ten dollars to
be awarded to the man showing the
best bushel Of mailing barley. This
will make twenty dollars for the man
who proves to have grown the best
mailing barley in Valley County, and
as there is a large acreage seeded this
year the big premium should bring
out large showing of this grain. -

stock shown at the Fair in September

Good Roads Barbecue.

The program for the 3-day session
of the Good Roads Congress at Great
Falls was filled in at the last meeting
of the committees by deciding as adj
ditional attractions to have an old
fashioned barbecue to which every
delegate will be an especial guest.
This will be novel function that will
be enjoyed by everyone and as well a
feature that will be worth going a
good way to experience. Provision
was also made for grand ball in the
beautiful Palm Room of the hand
some Rainbow hotel for the delegates
and their ladies, and there will also
be luncheons and smokers in the
Palm room for the men to enjoy, the
committees determining to make
every minute Of every day Of August
10, IL, and II, full of either business,
fun OF entertainment, so that every
one of the several thousand who are
expected to attend will feel that he
would not have missed the Congress
for a whole lot more than attendance
will cost The several business ses-
sions of the Congress will be held in
the Grand Opera House.
Word is reaching the officers from
every part of the State that autoists
are making up parties to drive to
Great Falls, and that County and
City officials everywhere and those
interested in better and good roads
will attend the Congress in numbers,
all of them feeling that the great dis
play of operating road-making ma
chinery that will be exhibited at
Great Falls during the Congress is
an opportunity to secure valuable and
practical information that it will not
pay to miss.
The officers and directors of the
State Association are doing their ut
most to make this session of the con-
gress an exceptional success and their
gratuitous and patriotic labors are
certainly entitled to the reward of
success. The securing of the ire
mendous display of road-making ma
chinery is in itself a notable achieve
ment. There will be over one hun
dred carloads, say three whole trains,
of this machinery, and it is figured
that the cost to the machinery men
