THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 3, 1917.
MOBILIZE FOR THE FARMS.

The decision Of the government to
despatch division OF troops to Eu-
rope for psychological effect will meet
with approval save among the over
hystericals who still think this war
should progress without suffering or
deprivation to ourselves. The loss OF
good, red American blood on the battle
fields OF France is not pleasant to con.
template, but It will rid the Germans
of the delusion that We are making
war only with loans and munitions for
our allies. Besides, 1t may bring a
very necessary shock 20 the people OF
this country and arouse them to the
seriousness of this situation.
There Is, however, a matter of vastly
greater importance that calls for i'm
mediate action. That Is the mobilza-
ton Of men and resources to aid the
farmers. The armies Of Great Britain
and France can worry along without
our soldiers, but neither they nor their
people at home nor our own people
can get along without food.
The first duty of the government is
to aid the farmers. Our friends at
Filings have been quick to sec and to
act in financing the needy and descrv-
ing farmers Of Yellowstone county. A
similar movement is in progress in
this community. The critical cond-
hon Is brought out by the Billings
Gazette which states that there is not
q single car of either seed or feed oats
IN Montana. That is a surprising. al
most incredible situation.
The government is doubtless doing
It's best to Increase food supplies for
the coming year. but the men supply
should be directed toward the farm
lands of the west and northwest.
The importation Of Chinese and
japanese labor should not be ncces-
sary for farm work and would prove =
hazardous experiment at tho best
There should be enough labor in orr
own county for this work. Men nm
able to qualify for the army can o,,al-
'fr for the sowing and harvesting of
the great food crops The great
cites of the country arc filled with
such men. Let Uncle Sam conscrirt
them for few weeks of outdoor work
IL VIII save the allied nations from
s'dr'a'icn and will be highly benefit

workers.
me tlrst warming rays OF the s,rinr
sun are here and no time is to be lost
II this work is to be done.

joFFRE.

We believe that there could be M
greater stimulus TO war action among
the masses than the aprcarancc ~
Marshal Joffre before the American
people. For that reason it seems lin -
fortunate that his tour should DO CON.
fined to ten days instead O, inc,ndipc
the entire country and especially tho
northwest.
Joffre Is the one great outstanding
figure of the war. He saved Franc,
and Europe. Like Miltiades at Mara :
thon or Wellington at Waterloo. he
stood fast as a stone dyke against
which the hordes Of Germans poured
up and rolled back as the waters rush
to the sands. and return to the sea.
Forty years 'of German preparedness
were rendered as naught by the
genius Of this great Soldier or France.
Stand or die was Joffre's last or

Paris, and there they stood and died

German flow backward. Sullen and

FLAG ETIQUETTE.

One rule Of the army and navy with
regard to the proper etiquette to he
observed toward the flag Is that when
II Is worn as n badge 1t shall be small
and pinned on the left coat lapel, or
over the left breast.
Since the declaration of war there
have been many manifestations of So
called patriotism which are distinctly
| in bad taste. We have no intention
Of condcmning finland the spirit
which has prompted the ll-adviscd
display of our country's emblem. In
the ma jority Of instances this has been
done thoughtiessly and largely through
the natural imitativcncss OF the hui
man race. This does not excuse. how
ever, the fact that the flag OF the
United States Is worthy OF more rev.
declaration of war has awakened in us
the fire OF patriotism.
Men have adopted the style OF wear
ing a small flag on their collars.
Women are using both collars and
stockings as background for Old
Glory. This is extremely bad taste.
The dignity OF the flag Is certainly not
enhanced by such display. Blame
should rest primarily on the spirit of
commercialism which has prompted
the creation by manufacturers of the !
designs which have found such popu-
lar favor. Citizens imbucd with the |
proper love OF flag and country will |
not flaunt their patriotism in a man.

Fourth of July this year and since
there is tradition that noise should

little of it. All the sanity of the
