FULFILLS PROPHESY

That Joseph J. Stipek, the founder
of the nearby valley town that bears
his name, was not amiss when he
christened the new town the wheat

which is being daily received at the
elevators and shipped east. In order
to take care of the overflow the ele,
vators at that point nave been ship,
ping out from 3 to 4 carloads each
day for several weeks past, the local
elevator managers claiming that they
have been taxed to their capacity
many times so far this fall. The in
coming shipments of goods and mater
ials from the east, now handled
through Billy Lang, the new Northern
Pacific agent at that place, is showing
remarkable increases, and the "Com-
ing City," as it is sometimes called, is
just now enjoying the greatest era OF
prosperity in it's history. Good for

of the Girl Scouts of America will
hold big candy and fancy goods sale

ceipt of the new suits, camp outfits
and other paraphernalia required ac-
cording to the rules and regulations
The girls have so far succeeded in
causing a few arrests of boys who
were seen to wantonly kill or injure
birds and animals with sticks, air
rifles and the like, as that is one of
the principal branches of their activ-
tiles ,and it is hoped that the city po-
lice will cooperate with the little ones
still further in their efforts to stop
the cruelty to birds and animals which
is known to exist in this city, the per-
petrators being the same set of hood
lums who create so much havoc and
destroy SO much property on Halow-
cen.

ing. 1t is a pleasure to do business
with them"
Railroad Shows Increase
1t is reported on good authority
that SO far this month, nine days to be
exact, the shipment of grain from
Glendive to the eastern terminals has
shown an increase over the same per.
iod last year of better than 200 per
cent the total number of cars of
grain of $4,000 pounds capacity billed
out of the city since August first being
235. The cars will average 145O bush
els, and they are being billed out on
an average of from to cars daily.
The total volume of both eastbound
and westbound incoming and outgo-
ing freight business handled by the To-
cal freight Office of the Northern Pa
cific railroad with the exception of
grain, is about the same as during the
similar period last year, and last year
was very busy one. Grain, however,
will show very heavy increase over
last year from this point as we'll as
from nearly every other shipping
point on the system, and this looks
good to all those who are looking for
ward to the many construction plans
which the Northern Pacific were figur-
ing on but which were abandoned with
the event of the European war.

ENGLAND NEEDS HORSES
DESPITE HEAVY BUYING

London, Dec. 9.-The committee ap-
pointed in August under the chairman
ship of Lord Middleton to investigate
the question Of the supply of army
horses, has issued a report showing
that the inadequate supply of horses
still presents a very urgent problem.
Earl Kitchener, secretary Of state
for war, in a letter to the committee
last July, said that the government al
ready had expended $60,000,000 in
America for horses and he especially
emphasized the fact that one of the
main difficulties was in securing ami
mails of good quality.

DEMOCRATS SURE TO WIN
DECLARES PRESIDENT

washington, Dec. 8.-President Viii
son told members of the democratic
national committee at a luncheon in
the state dining room at the White
House today that the republicans had
no issue for the next campaign except
the tariff and that democracy was
sure to win.
Our constructive work has start
ed an irresistible movement which
cannot be stopped" he declared.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is
talking through his hat"
Mr.. Wilson said nothing to indicate
whether he would again be a candi-
date for the presidency.
A Heart-to-Heart Talk
throughout the entire talk, which
dealt with subjects ranging from dem
ocratic chances of victory to features
OF the "life of chief executive" the
president was informal. Taking his
place at the head of the table, he
thrust his hands into his trousers
pockets, cast aside what he termed his
dress parade language, and talked
freely and confidentially.
Democrats of all factions greeted
his remarks enthusiastically. They
left the White House in bouyant spir-
its, declaring that his optimism had
inspired them with new confidence.
1t was the first time, committeeman
said, that their body had been receiv-
ed as a whole in the White House.
At the outset the president said he
wanted the members to feel that they
were part of a big family of which he
was a member. He asked whether
any one present could suggest any
campaign argument other than the
tariff which the democratic opposition
could advance, and the committee
men all shook their heads. Nobody
knew at this time, he added, what
sort of tariff measure must be franz
ed to meet changing conditions re-
sulting from the war.
Discussing parties and policies
generally, the president insisted that
the democratic view was that the ma
jority should rule, while that of their
opponents was that "board Of trus-
tees" should act for the people.
Mexican Problem.
Touching upon the Mexican problem
he said this same majority rule. should
