New York, Sept. 13.-Ambassador J.
II. Won Bernstorff is quoted in an in.
terview printed by the Evening Sun
as declaring that a diplomatic break
between Germany and the United
States will mean war.
''1f diplomatic relations are broken
off," the German ambassador is quoted
as having said, "the German subma.
rine commanders will be instructed to
sink everything they see and, of
course, this means war within two or
three days"
The interview, according to the Sun,
was given by Count on Bernstorff,
through a person close to him. The
statements credited to the ambassador
in the quotations above, according to
the Sun, were made to the man who
acted as intermediary.
THE ambassador" says the Sun, "is
quoted as saying that the United
States has won, with his cooperation,
diplomatic victory, since Germany
has conceded the seafaring principles
for which President Wilson has been
contending. The ambassador is re.

MILLERS FIND WHEAT SCARCE
In History, Record Prices Are
Paid in Chicago.

Chicago. Sept 13.-Despite the fact
that the government report few days
ago indicated the biggest wheat crop
in history, millers are experiencing
difficulty in getting wheat to make
-four. The rains at harvest time
spoiled considerable wheat and now
winter wheat suitable for milling is
scarce. This is indicated by the high
premium being paid for soft winter
wheat in the Chicago market.
There was sale of $4,000 bushels
Of No. 2 red winter wheat in store,
supposedly to a miller, at $115 which
at the time the sale was made was IS
cents over the price Of September.
Track lots of No. red sold at 212
cents to 13 cents over September price
In the cash market.
These premiums are the highest
ever paid In the history Of the eX-
change at this time Of the year" said

FOR HIGHER PRICES
FARMERS ARE HOLDING

Reports from all over the state are
to the effect that the farmers are uni
versally holding their wheat for an ad
vance in price, which they believe is
sure to come by the first of the new
year. All the railroads operating in
Montana are arranging for an abun-
dance of cars to handle the business
when the wheat commences to move,
but so far there has been very little
marketed and the roads are doing a
very small wheat moving business.
According to a manager of one of the
largest elevator firms in the state, and
who has been making trip over the
state, there is every reason to eXpect
an advance in wheat prices, but he does
not believe it will reach the dollal
mark until the first of the year at least.
The tendency to hold grain for higher
prices is general over the state and un-
less a sharp advance occurs there will
be little wheat sold before January.

GOOD BOON" COPY
WRITTEN BY HER0DO7US

Glory be to the memory of Herodotus,
the first real estate boomer that ancient
history makes record Of Although it
is not of record that Herodotus was
actively engaged in the real estate
business, the suspicious lay reader
might infer from his talk that he had
secured some governmental concessions,
had employed "shoestring" homestead
ers to secure big tract in the basin of
the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and
was resorting to the clever arts of the
seasoned real estate dealer in an effort
to colonize his holdidgs.
Away back in the misty morning OF
history, according to Anderson's Man
ual of General history 0250 B. c.
about the time the Chaldean monarchy
was waning and Babylonia was coming
to the fulness of its glory, Herodotus
made little journey to the valley of
the Tigris and what he saw in the
farming line inspired him to fall into
print, as follows:
"Of all the countries that we know
of, there is none so fruitful in grain.
II makes no prctension indeed Of grow
ing the fig, the olive, the vine or any
other tree Of the kind, but in grain 1T
is so fruitful as to yield two hundred
fold. The blade of the wheat plant
and barley plant is often three or four
fingers in width. AS for the milet and
sesame, | shall not say to what heights
they grow, though within my own
knowledge; for | am not ignorant that
what l have already written concerning
the fruitfulness of Babylonia must
seem incredible to those who have
never visited the country.

man who can write better advertising
copy than that we should like to meet
up with him. Even j. M. Kennedy
used to lay it on pretty thick when as
head of the state publicity bureau he
wrote the leaders for Montana's S annual
advertising booklet, but even jim
would have to hand the palm to Hero
dotus, because Jim's pristine con-
science would not allow him to write it
down that Montana wheat yielded two
hundred fold or that Montana oats or
barley were so high that he was afraid
to tell about it.
1t is quite evident. too, that Hero
dotus had few doubters and knockers
in that grand old day of Babylonia, for
note the admission he makes about the
probability of skepticism concerning
his big crop editorial, From this it is
quite safe to infer that the fellows who
made the biographies had Babylonia
set down as dryland country and
that few old fossils went around
wearing blue goggles and declaring
that the country was fit only for rattle
snakes, jackrabbits, cowboys and In
juns. also that it was measly shame
to see the "nesters' fencing up the
landscape and spelling perfectly good
range country. Bank Pioneer

HERO OF the MERR|MAC
WILL STUMP MONTANA

Richmond Pearson Hobson, the
south's great prohibition orator and the
accredited hero of the Merrimac in the
Spanish war, will come to Montana and
put the state in the "dry" column in
November, 1916, according to Rev.
Joseph Pope, the president of the Mon
tana Anti-Saloon league. Hobson is
now scheduled to speak in Miles City
and Helena on November 10 and II,
and other dates will be arranged for
him to follow these.
Moreover, a battling dry squadron
composed of the famous Woody, Nor
row, Banks and Young quartet will
start statewide prohibition campaign
on October that will last eighteen
days. They will give addresses on ma
tional prohibition in every town of con-
sequence in the state of Montana.
Rev. j. E. Parker of Helena, who
has just completed a forty days tour
under the auspices of the state w. G..
G. 7. U., met with the dry Montana
committee and discussed plans for the
big prohibition meeting that will be
held in Helena, Wednesday, Sept. %,
when delegates from religious, civil and
social organizations will gather to-
gether in the cause of the "Dry Mon
tana" from all parts of the state at
Helena.
"The prohibition sentiment is strong
in the state said Rev. Pope. eff we
were to take a vote now Montana
would go dry. The eastern part of the
state is especially strong against the
saloon. County option will decide the
question in Richland county October l3.
Petitions for election are in the hands
of the Sheridan county commissioners
and petitions are being circulated in
Dawson county. There is strong pro-
hibition agitation in other counties. -

U. S. DOLLAR MAY DOMINATE

Washington, Sept. 13.-The time has
come, in the opinion of the federal re.
serve board, when the American dollar
should take dominating place In the
financial markets Of the world and
when American or dollar exchange
should become the medium through
which the millions of dollars of ex-
ports and imports of the United
States are paid. To open the field for
American exchange, the board issued

other things that under certain condi.

PLEASANT, OILY CRAFTERS
SEEK PROSPEROUS FARMERS

The Belgrade Journal, published at
Belgrade in the Gallatin valley, one of
the great wheat producing sections of
Montana, says:
"Knowing that the majority of
ranchers in the valley are going to have
a little ch ange by them most Of the
time, there will be veritable cam
paign of effort to part them from their
loose coin. There will likely be some
very neat appearing, pleasant man
nered, gentlemanly fellow show up
with fortunate eastern connections -
which enable him to offer good loans at
a remarkably low rate of interest. But
don't bite, Mr.. Rancher, at least until
you have looked into those eastern con-
nections. Talk the matter over with
your local banker. Or some one whom
you know you can trust, and get inside
information on those fortunate east
ern connections"

may be sure he Will put it up to you

"a strike" unless it is one straight

possible for the Journal to guess even
half of them. But the object of this
article is to urge the ranchers, and
others as we'll, to be on their guarc

living working other people. If some
proposition looks exceptionally attrac'
