HOW HOTELS USE EGGS,

There is an Interesting article in
Farm and Fireside about the selling

sheepn,sn Psilssine str.sm. :.

Editor Missoutiati. Last evening
my wife Informed nu that she had
heard that day that some sheep were
drowned and left In the creeks above
us. We live on Chaffin creek. four
miles above Darby and my family
and others get their drinking water
from theis stream. Going Tip to the
home of the late B. f. Greenup. found
his son, Earnest Greenup. a farmer OF
the neighborhood and an old timer in
the valley. Mr.. Greenup told me where
the sheep had been drowned but stat
ed that he had called the herder's at
tention to the matter and supposed
the sheep had been removed. To make
sure, however. went on up to the
old sheep camp and to my horror
found sixteen head seven old sheep
and nine half-grown ones. in the wa
ter and some of them in IA badly de-
composed condition.
The sheep men had simply gone
away and left the dead sheep in the
creek, apparently caring nothing for
what happened to the farmers and
their families from drinking the water.
The question is, how long will the
flockmasfers be permitted to polutc
our beautiful streams and cndangar
the lives of our settlers, campers ana
all others who may chance to drink
of our mountain streams? understand
that several other creeks in this part
of the country have been treated as
our own. and l wished to let the pco-
pie know what the passing sheep men
are doing for us.

In the Chicago Tribune we find from
II clergyman. Il letter that STRIKE
u hard wallop at the propaganda
of conscientious objection" In
answering these people he says:
What have | done to suffer the insult
of such proposal at this time? Why
should my son offer himself to protect
the man who will use his conscience
to avoid his duty? My son is at the
front He left Princeton University to
enlist in the navy in recognition of the
debt to his country" We agree with
the Tribune that this inquiry is peril
nent and may with like reason be put
to the conscientious directors from
the thousands of homes that have sent
husbands and sons to the army. No
body should be more interested in
killing this propaganda than wives and
mothers whose husbands and sons are
fighting to save the lives and homes OF
the people who are trying to hide be-
hind an alibi Of so-callcd conscien-
tious objection.

A Word for Farmers,

Editor Missoulian: \ word for tha
ranchcrS of western Montana
When the United States entered the
war against Germany the appeal was
sounded far and wide that as the bur
den of feeding ourselves and. our new
allies would fall primarily upon the
farmers of this country we must take
what immediate steps we could to
meet the additional demands. increase
our tillable acreage in order that the
conflict might be won. After thou
sands of acres had been added to the
vast area under the pillow. those upor.
whom had been placed the response
bllltN OF ecouraging production turned
their attention to the coming year,
arousins the patriotism to the required
pitch that still more land might be
titled in 1918. This work is still be-
ing pushed.
western Montana is not unpatriotic
the farmers of this part of the state
responded to the call for more farm
produce and increased greatly their
acreage, the majority going into debt
for the additional labor and seed nee
cssary Some one advanced the nee
csSary money so that the campaign
for bigger crops might be brought to
trution. Another sign of patriotism
among the people of this part of the
state.
The year started out auspicously.
But finally adverse weather conditions
set in and day by day the dry land
farmer has seen his fields turn yellow
from the heat and drought Every
al c s,I IN, hi Z
Unless rain comes very, very soon
many of these farmers will face finan-
cial ruin. The time is coming when
they will have to settle for the addi-
tional seed they Sowed and for the
extra labor it took to put that seed
into the ground. 1t is disheartening.
When the next year comes around
they will be loath again to spend their
time where the chance of success is
not at least even with the chance of
failure And not only that MANY of
them will be unable to do so if the
matter of their Indebtedness for this
years failure is pressed to the limit
OF the laws allowance. And we be-
lIeNe justly that our chance for win
ming the war depends upon our abil-
ity to supply the needed provisions to
ward off starvation
II those who are losers this year do
not seed again next year, our chances
are diminished accordingly. We will
need them in 1918. laboring in tho
fields as we have needed them this
year. As a patriotic duty it is up
to those who advanced the money for
their seed and extra labor to go easy
and give them another chance and if
TINS cannot be done. it is UP to the
county the state or the nation to ease
the burden by providing the money
To tide the unfortunates over until
another harvest. Patriotism, as Will
son so aptly declared, is not patriotism
When II cannot be separated from the
thought of profits. Here is a chance

PATRIOTISM is. JUSTICE.

Carelessness Is Menace.

Edition Missoulian: To rail against
incendiaries is the easiest and least

trlshtful menace of forest fires. IT

Fishermen, ricnickers, campers, in Il

their fires. and the result is Il fire
costing the government thousands OF
dollars and perhaps destroying homes

should make it a point Of honor to
see that every cmber of their camp

every camper could but see a forest

he would never be careless again BY

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

The many medical geniuses of
America arc doing their part to help
win the war. They are constantly at
work to discover some new cure or
preventative and many of them have
been announced as practicable already.
One of these cures, should it prove to
be what is claimed for it, will go a
long way toward helping the cause we
are in.
DR.. J. Hubbard Schall of the Cum
bcrland Street hospital in Brooklyn
announced to the assembled members
OF the American Medical association
last June, and then demonstrated at q
clinic, his discovery Of what is hoped
VIII be cure FOR blood eliot on the
brain. This cure is an antiseptic which
may be used on the brain. in the alb
domlnal caNit! or injected directly into
the blood stream. The discovery was
the work of DR.. Schall and his CO.
workers. Or. Ff'alick, Dr. Eckstcin and
III Nl'tn
Its great advaNtag. is the claim that
IT does not act as the Dakin- Carrcl
solution, which. while il royolutioniZcd
the trra tnent of W und infections in
the war, Was sand to have caused death
y injected into the blood stream. Its
dlscoN"rcrs say II will have also the
added virtue of being the greatest germ
killer ever devised.
But there is another feature suggest
cd by the claims for its cure which
would seem 10 be even of greater i'm
rortance. Blood Clot on the brain yen
orally causes one of two things. Either
the victim is partially paralyzcd or he
becomes insane. If this new antisep,ic
can dissolve these formations it will
not only render an ineStimable service
toward the greater fighting powers of
the nation IN the war. but it will prove
q. boon to the injured industrial work .

in an open letter to the kaiser, printed
in German newspapers published in
Zurich. Switzerland. Herr Henschke
offers some striking thoughts. He
writes to the kaiser: Give up the be-
lief in divine right and go as a man
among men. Throw off the purple of
solitude and don the mantle of the
i,inultitude. OF brotherly love. Tear
yourself free from your ancestors;
free from the hallucination that you

Herr Henschke tells the kaiser that

in the shadow of the autocratic barons

that is not exercised by his own people

UNCLE SAM EN- ROUTE.

From a remark dropped by Secre-
tary of War Baker, the other day. it
may be gathered that our new army
will he sent to France as rapidly as
ii is formed. and that our troops there
may finally include a combined force
of more than one .2ilIion men. The
Secretary said that the present plans
provide for the training of each por-
ton of the army as soon as it's equip.
mcnt can be furnished, and to dispatch
each portion to France as soon as 1t
available.
1t is assumed from this that the en-
tire National Army of 50O0 600 drawn
by CONSUMPTION. the fun National
Guard of 1853 1000 as filled to war
strength. and the full Regular Army of
100000. will be sent for service
abroad The transportation of this en-
tire force cannot be assured before
late in the winter.
that the activity of late on the west
crn front of Il new German offensive
is due to the plan to crush France
quickly before the American forces are
on the scene. The boasting German
generals who have snecred at the mill
tary resources of our country are
evidently not so cock sure as they
would have their people believe. When
the American army is under way there
will flow to France a vast. ever-in-
crcasing roll of fighting men. Perhaps
Germany is just awakening to the
fighting strength of this country.
The boys of Missoula and western
Montana who have enlisted will be
interested to learn that they will have
"a chance to see real war rather than
pass their time in that interval in the
tircsome but necessary vigil at the
railroad bridges and tunnels.
