has informed parliament that Italy has adhered to the agreement that no such peace should be signed by the entente powers. This agreement was signed at London. September ,. 1915, by France. Great Britain and Russia.
 This announcement by Baron Son nino would seem to dispose of reports current the past few days that there was a possibility of a separate peace between Italy and Austria in view of the fact that there has been no formal declaration Of hOstilities be- tween Italy and Germany.
 The assertion that Italy had not joined her allies in the agreement not to make a separate peace has been made frequently in the last few weeks. although it had been assumed she adhered to this agreement soon after entering the war.

mail THEM EARLY"
IS POSTOFFICE SLOGAN

"Do your Christmas mailing
early is a slogan which the local
postoffice authorities wish to i'm
press on the public. With the CO.
operation of the patrons of the post
office, the deluge of holiday mail
which is bound to come, can be
handled without delay, with the re-
suit that both the mail clerks and
the people sending and receiving
mail will derive the benefit.
"Practically every department of
the local postoffice is showing a
steady and regular increase this
year over the previous years." said
the postmaster yesterday land We
expect the Christmas rush this year
will be the biggest in the history of
the local office. If the people in the
city will cooperate with us we will
be able to get through the rush in
fine shape, with the least possible
delay to the patrons of the office
and at the same time without hard
ship on the employees"
Among the things that will help
the employees do their work more
quickly are: First, the mailing of
packages as early in the day as pos
sible; secondly, the proper placing
of return addresses on each package
as we'll as plainly writing the out
going address; and thirdly wrap
your packages we'll. Parcels may
now be insured and sent at the par
eel post rate.

MORAL REFORM SWEEPS
OVER CITY OF MALTA

Tuesday night Sheriff Shaw, JUS
tice Wilson, County Attorney Wolfe
and Under Sheriff Nelson started out
to clean out the restricted district
with the result that all the houses
are closed and those camping
around in various places were Or
dered out of town, and it is needless
to say they have gone where the
fields are little greener. A big
fight pulled off in one of the houses
in the restricted district Monday
night in which two of the prominent
business men of the place were the
participants, resulted in the reform
movement.
Sheriff Shaw informs us that as
long as he is sheriff of Phillips coun-
ty he is going to do his duty as he
sees it and he feels as though this
was movement in the right direc-
ton and from the comment we have
heard on the act he has the people
of Malta back of him.

MALTA GROWING.

The Helena Daily Independent
has the following to say of Malta
and it also shows that our genial
county attorney is pretty good
booster when away from home;
Malta, the county seat of one of
Montana's infant communities, Phil
lips county, which was created dur
ing the last session of the legisla-
ture, has doubled in population in a
single year, is rapidly adding to her
industries, and is preparing to take
her place along with the most thirty
ing little cities of northern Mon
tana.
H. L. Wolfe, Jr., county attorney
of Phillips county who was a state
house visitor Saturday, and says
that the strides northern Montana
ment are scarcely believable. This
district, but is general all along the
line of the Great Northern railroad.
Malta is Prosperous.
A little over year ago Malta had
population of only little more
than 900 souls. But prosperity hit
that section of the state, crops Of all
hlHuS were SOOQ, settlers HOckeQ IN,
elevators and mills were built, and
today Malta citizens number more
than 1900, is still growing.
Thousands of acres of land were
sown to flax in Phillips county and
when the price of fiaxseed went up
as did all farm produce, farmers sold
their flax at $1.76 per bushel. 1t was
great boon to the farmers Of that
section, the flax crop was, and mort
cages are being paid off from the
proceeds.
Big Wheat Crop.
The wheat crop was immense, and
the ranchers are sufficiently pros
porous that they are able to hold
their grain for higher prices.
Maltn has just completed the con-
struction OF new school building
at a cost of $4,000. The Fifth Ave-
nue. hotel, also new, is the finest in
northern Montana, and other enter
prises are being developed that will
further add to the wealth of the

MONEY PRIZES FOR GOOD SEED.

Nearly thousand dollars in cash
is offered to exhibitors at the Third
Annual Seed Exposition of Montana
to be held in Livingston January IS
to 20. The premium list has just
been completed by Prof Alfred At
kinson, Agronomist of the Montana
Experiment station, who is secre-
tary of the Montana Seed Growers
Association.
This list offers the most attractive
premiums that the association has
ever listed and besides $3.50 in cash
includes many special premiums for
particular classes.
AS an example of the special pre-
miums, the Northern Pacific Rail
road Co. offers $50 silver trophy
for the best one-half bushel of oats.
The State Nursery Co. offers ten
dollars in gold for the best peck of
alfalfa. The Gallatin Milling Co.
offers twenty dollars in gold for the
best one-half bushel of wheat to be
judged on the basis of its milling
and baking qualities as determined
by the State Grain Laboratory at
the State College.
The Seed Association, which has
conducted the two previous Seed Elk
positions, feels that it is doing sub
stantial service to the state of Mon
tana, particularly In advertising the
superior quality of the seed grown
in the Treasure State. 1t was the
winning sample from the First An
nual Seed Exposition of this Asso-
citation that won nearly forty per
cent of the sweepstakes prizes at the
National Corn Exposition in Dallas
February, 1914. When we remem-
Der that these samples were IN COM
petition with samples from thirty
seven states and the Dominion OF
Canada, it speaks highly of their
quality.
The winning samples from the
Second Annual Seed Exposition
which was held in Bozeman in Dec
1914, were taken to the Panama
Pacific Exposition and entered there
with the Montana exhibit. These
assisted materially in having Mon
tana win the Grand Prize In cereals
The coming seed exposition promises
to be the best that ever has beer
held, with every indication of &
large attendance.

the bigger the commission.
Parents are reminded of the rule
that children below the seventh
grade are not to be admitted to the
school house before 1 o'clock.
School takes up at lis. Children
will be allowed to play outside, but
the teachers can not take RESPONSE
bility for exposures due to the fact
that children return too early at
noon. Children above the seventh
grade will be allowed to enter the
school house earlier than one
o'clock, but they must go to their
seats and remain until the teacher
in charge of the room returns.

AGE LIMIT IS go YEARS.

Treasurer Dabney wishes us to
announce emphatically that the age
limit for the paying of county poor
taxes in Montana is sixty years in
stead of fifty years as some would
think. At the last session of the
legislature this matter was brought
up and new law passed raising the
age limit to sixty years. This does
not seem to be generally known and
several have held off paying their
taxes just on this account. If you
are sixty years old or over you need
not worry about this special tax,
but if under this limit It will be we'll

WINTER SCHEDULE FOR
GREAT NORTHERN TRAINS.

Last Sunday the much talked of
winter schedule on this division of
the Great Northern road went into
effect, much to the discomfort of the
travelling public. Under the new
schedule both of the evening trains
get here after midnight, No. going
east at 2:15 a. M, and No. goes
west at 1852 a. m, passing each
other at Exeter about six miles west
of Malta. The early morning train
east, No. 2, now arrives at 5:O7 a.
M, or fifteen minutes earlier than
under the old schedule. Nos. and
4 now tie up in Havre instead of
continuing to the coast and east of
Glasgow those trains do the local
work as the Skidoo on that line has
been withdrawn. The only salts
faction to the travelling public under
the so called ''winter schedule is
the promise of the G.. N. officials that
it is only for the winter months.

WONIAN'S CLUB.

The Malta Woman's club held a
very interesting session at the home
of Mrs. VIM. Mcclellan on Satur-
day afternoon, and she was assisted
as hostess by Mrs. Robert Beam,
Miss Hakes and Miss Coughlin. Ac-
cording to the yearly custom of the
club, a generous contribution was
sent to the orphans home at Helena
and further donation to the Bel
gians was taken under considera-
ton. The club has already sent one
contribution to the relief fund.
A site for a home for the club
was discussed, and action on the
matter will be taken later. A fine
club house for the women of the city
will be the ultimate result.
The Malta club has been invited
to visit the Saco club on Dec. 4, and
is accordingly preparing musical
program to be given there that even

THE MUDDY MISSOURI.

How the River Lowers the Surface OF
the Land.lt Drains.
The Missouri is the muddiest river in
the Mississippi valley. 1t carries more
silt than any other large river In the
United States except possibly the Rio
Grande and the Colorado. For every
square mile Of country drained 1t car
ries downstream 3S1 tons Of dissolved
and suspended matter each year. In
other words, the river gathers annual
" from the country that 1t drains
more than l23,0o0,O0O tons Of silt and
soluble matter, some Of which 1t dis
tributes over the food plains below to
form productive agricultural lands,
but most Of which finds its way at last
to the gulf Of Mexico.
It IS by means Of data Of this kind
that geologists compute the rate at
which the lands are being eroded away.
It has been shown that the Missouri
river Is lowering the surface Of the
land drained by it at the rate Of 1 foot
in e,03G years. The surface Of the
United States as a whole is now being
worn down at the rate Of l foot in
9.120 years.
It has been estimated that II this
erosive action Of the streams OF the
United States coulG have been concen-
trated on the isthmus Of Panama It
would have dug in seventy-three days
the canal which was completed after
ten years work with the most power
full appliances yet devised by man.
