DEMAND FOR CHEESE
STEADILY ADVANCING

The demand for cheese both at home
and abroad are keener than ever this
year. This is due somewhat to the
growing use of cheese as substitute
for meat in America and partly to the
demand for our cheese abroad The
great cheese producing countries of
Europe are manufacturing far less this
year on account of the slaughter of
cows for the armies at war and the in
teruption of agriculture in general
The first shipment of American child
der cheese to Sweden was made the
first week in April. 1t consisted of
about $50 boxes or close to Is tons and
will be used by grocery house in
Chrstiana. The steamship canadian"
which sailed for Liverpool on March
10Th, took 1000 boxes of cheese which
sold at about 20 cents on the English
market.
Sheboygan, Wisconsin is one of our
largest cheese markets. On April 5th
they sold 1916 boxes of cheese at an
average price of 1853 cents per pound
A year ago on the same date 1888 box
es were sold at an average price of l46
cents-an advance to the amount of
232 boxes and IL cents per pound over
last year.
The average price of chidder cheese on
Chicago markets in January 1916 was
Is cents, February 1878 cents and
March Is cents. This is an average OF
half cent higher than the market has
been in March for the past four years.
The present indications are that cheese
prices are going still higher this year.
In fact, the Wisconsin cheese merch-
ants predict decidedly strong demand
for cheese this year which should be
encouraging to those people in Montana
who are manufacturing cheese for the
first time. However, it will be several
years before we can hope to supply
enough cheese to take care of our local
demands which are growing rapidly
each year.-G. l.. Martin, Dept, Dairy

COUNTY WILL DO WORK
ON EvARO HILL ROAD

The county commissioners announced
the latter part of last week that the
upper end of O'Keefe canyon, on the
Evaro hill, would be the scene of con-
siderable road work this spring. The
highway through the canyon will be
Strengthened and widened under the
supervision of Perry Sparks, one of tie
best road men in the county. Work
will be started at once with Is or 20
men and a number of teams.
This piece of road has been bad and
several serious accidents have occurred.
That it is now to be repaired will be well
come news to all who use it.

A considerable number Of national
representatives favor a retirement
scheme for the civil service. That the
faithful servant who becomes incapaci-
tated by age should be provided for is
a natural and ever growing conviction.
However, laws in such cases work ar
bitrarily, and it will happen that etti-
cheney is often laid on the shelf to
give stupidity, or something like that,
a chance for promotion. Age limits
should not be too arbitrary either in
the matter Of dismissal or retirement,
for it is solely question Of efficiency
and the public good.

The axiom, "In peace prepare for
war;" may be balanced by the reverse
proposition Tin war prepare for peace"
War is abnormal and all it's creations
abnormal. 1t starts industries and
business booms that must collapse.
Hard times are sure to follow, and all
the gain Of prosperity may be swept
away. 1t is good sense, then, for the
people Of this country to give staple
trade and normal industry fair share
Of attention.

IN "DRY" COLORADO.
From the Denver Post (Prohibiton)
April T. 1916

''Into Denver alone the common carriers
brought S02 liquor packages during January The
number swelled to 1868 during February. The
records for March in the office of the county clerk
and recorder will not be closed until Monday eve
ming when all reports from the carriers must be
in. But from advance information the February
number will be multiplied several times. And in
the opinion of the officials the number will con-
tinue to grow during the next few months, when
the proposition of imports will settle down TO a
somewhat stable basis.
"Into all of Colorado the carriers brought
5000 liquor packages in January. In February
the number jumped to $685. with Mesa, Rio
Blancha, Routt and San Miguel counties not re-
ported For March, if the percentage of gain
should be maintained the figures will reach 27,155
shipments"

IN "DRY" OREGON.

From the Portland Oregonian, April /, 1916.
'During January the amount of shipments
was small, owing to the fact that many imbibers
had laid in supplies when the drought came and
also because of a general unfamilarity with ship
ment affidavit privilege. February claimed the
issuance of 1917 afidavits for the shipment of
liquor from "we states by express-a strong and
heady slant upward from the January number:
But mad and merry March romps over the record
of the preceding month by almost 100 per cent
'Although the figures for the month are not
yet complied it is estimated that the March aft
davits for liquor consignments will reach 5000
''The ma iorilv of the orders are for the maxi
mum amount and apply for two quarts of whisky.
Shipments Of beer are increasing."

NEW THIRD CHRISTIAN
PASTOR. TAKES CHARGE
Rct. Roger Lamar Clarke breaches
To Two Large Congregations
- ',-' I'M Fast End. .''-

Rev Roger Lamar Clarke. who was
recently called by the congregation
of Third Christian Church, assumed
his duties III his new charge yester-
day morning at II o'clock At both
the morning and evening services the
new pastor was greeted 10y large con-
gregations. and last night there was
hardly a vacant seat in the house of
worship.
Last night DIR. Clarke preached on
What We Know About God" and in
part he said:
There is one element common to
all religious faiths. all presumably
end in God. No matter how senseless
the form of worship the sincerity of
the devotee cannot be questioned.
Whether true or false we all meet on
common ground in the subjective side
or religion. But we would make Il
sad and. perhaps, fatal mistake
to assume the reality of the things
believed from the evidences present
ed on the subjective side. That ] am
sincere in my belief proves nothing
Those who offered their babies to Baal
and accepted Elijah's challenge were
just as sincere. Our knowledge of God
is revealed to us. revealed in reason,
in the world around lis and in the
divine word. 1t may be possible to
.
and attributes of God could be rea =
soned out. But the world has never
received advanced truth kindly al
ways storing the prophets. Socrates.
who made a near approach to the
Christian conception of God. was put
TO death for infidclity.
The tendency today TO discard the
accustomed formularies and test
phrases has as the prime motive the
feeling of the inadequacy of the old
! conceptions. There was little place III
the days of rationalism for faith in the
Divine 1mminence. God was localized
and sy&tema ti2ed and believed in the
! form of creed. Has God come within
/ human comprehension? The answer
must be yes: We have been given an
understanding that We may know him
! that is true. and we are in Him tina;
I is trce. even His Son, Jesus Christ
: This is the true God and eternal life
Jesus Christ is God manifest in the
flesh. Just as we know Him We know
God. God in Christ the Maker and
/ Conscrvor OF all things. sustains an
active relation with every man born
/ into the world. The difference between
/ us and the most ignorant pagans in
J the widest jungles is not in any de-
gree OF the love or disposition of
God. They have not seen the true
/ God aud we have, for our eyes have
seen and our hands have handled the
! word OF life
/ Jesus declared that to see Him is
to see the Father. And It is enough
, TO rest our faith in the wisdom ana
power of Christ. The world needs

F1remen Do Good work.
The work was in charge OF Chief
Joynes and District Chief RATIO, and
the fire was confined In the portion
of the plant In which originated. One
wing Of the large building was the
only portion of the structure left
standing yesterday afternoon after the
flames had been extinguished, and 1t
will be in this part of the plant that
the work will be carried on while the
other Is being rebuilt. II WAS the good
work on the part OF the fre-fshters
that saved the entire block from de-

When the fremen arrived the

a good Roadway. and portion OF them
imm ediately set 10 work in an effort

Of them remained around the shoulder
ing ruins until o'clock to see that
il did not take new life and start

The early morning FIRE aroused prac-
tically the entire East End pepulace,
Attracted by the fire bells and the
sound of the engines and trucks max
ing their way to the fire, many soon
gathered around the burning build
ing and by 5 O'Clock the streets around
the building were filled with oaloek-
ers.

much. as they were not sure that they
