Opposes Any Discrimination In Dis
play Of Flags Of Our Allies.
To the Editor Of THE TINES:
beg to suggest that through your
paper you bring the attention OF the
public to the following:
Although the British and French
missions have left this country, the
flags of Great Britain and France
continue to be displayed from many
public and private buildings, from
automobiles, etc, to the exclusion OF
the fiaEs of our other fourteen or fif-
teen allies, especially the Italians,
who now have a very distinguished
mission in this country. This is
neither fair nor proper. and it is not
good team work.
II some private individuals have a
marked preference for one or two OF
our many allies, and desire to parade
their feelings accordingly, of course
that is their own affair, and there
"a nothing to be said. But 1t Is de-
cIdedly different in the case OF the
public buildings; they should display
The flags of all OF our allies. or Of
none. or Of those only whose govern
ments are officially represented by

MELTED BY BRYAN,
SWORDS AID MARS
PlOwshares as Paperweights
Anchor War Posters.
PEACE SYMBOL CONSCUPTED
Cabinet Members Find Use for
Mementos Of Nebraskan.

Two years ago, when Mr.. Bryan
was Secretary Of State, he collected
a lot OF old swords that were about
to be junked by the War Department,
reduced them to molten metal. and
had them fashioned into miniature
plowshares. These he distributed
among members Of the Cabinet and
Representatives OF the press, accom-
panying the presentation to the news
gatherers with a printed sheet Civ
ing the chapter from Isaiah which
tells how swords snail be beat into
plowshares."
There was something appropriate
about II, then, for at the time Mr..
Bryan was counting writer's cramp
from signing arbitration treaties.
But since war began Cabinet, officers
have been shunting these paper
weights aside.
Secretary of War Baker found q
miniature shell more appropriate.
Other grim reminders of war ap-
peared on other desks. and the peace
full plowshares disappeared.
Put to Good Use.
The climax came today, when Sec
rotary Daniels utilized the Bryan
plowshare as a paper weight to dis
play q number OF naval recruiting
posters which hung from the top Of
his office bookcase.
DIPLOMACY il the art of keeping
cool" said the inscription on the
Bryan plowshare.
"The navy needs you. Don't read
American history-make IT.! nared
forth from the potSer.
The poster, done by James Mont
gomery Flagg. pictured a bluejaeket
laying a heavy hand on the shoulder
OF a well-dressed Stacker, as he point
ed across the waters to bomb-shelled
skies and general scenes OF carnage.
Another poster held down by the
paper weight was the work OF Charles
Dana Gibson, which showed a mother
Offering her only son to Uncle Sam,
who accepted the boy and said he

Reuterdahl Fleet Picture.
To add the last touch Of incon-
Kruity there was a third poster under
the paper weight. This was one by
Henry Reuterdahl, showing the bat
tIeship fleet going. forth to action in
a blaze of color that would almost
brighten the dove Of peace to death
The army could use some Of those
old swords that were melted up to

Topics Of Interest.
OBJECTS TO IMITATION BADGES
Sale Is Slap at Custom Near to
Soldiers Heart, Says Officer.

To the Editor of THE TINES:
The stand taken by the women who
are responsible for the sale Of the
imitation campaign ribbon badge
shows, among other things that, not
withstanding the military and naval
relationships OF some OF them, they
have utterly failed to acquire a mill
tary viewpoint; that. in spite of the
fact that military men have felt there
was good cause to object to the sale
Of these silly limitations, such OBJ
jections are swept aside by these
military ladies, who assume to be
better Judges as to the value placed
on the real badges than do the sol
diers who have given service to pro-
cure them. Finally It shows that In
this slap at q custom which lies near
the soldiers heart they can hardly
claim they are living up to their
name OF "auxiliaries."
The soldier has suffered in the past
through the efforts of those who be-
lleved themselves to be superior to
him in deciding matters connected
with his own business, and will prob
ably suffer in this way in the future.
However. to those who realize the
seriousness of the present situation,
a realization which will come with
great suddenness very soon to US all,
this is hardly the time for the ignor-
ant to do even the smallest thing that
may in the most indirect way tend to
undermine the spirit and efficiency
Of the American forces-for by SO act
ing, they are doing their bit for those
who seek to destroy Us and all the
world holds dear.
The allies themselves, wearing as
they do similar ribbons, and for the
same purpose. would hardly consider
that a compliment has been paid them
by the Characterization OF these en-
blems.
The mere fact that these fakes
have been made closely to resemble
the real ribbons, and that the honor
in which they are held and the tend
ency OF too many persons to sail under
false colors, are depended on to make
a sale for them, is enough to sustain
the contention OF those who protest.

Says West Has Outdone East
In Responding to Army's Call


In Responding to ALmy's Call
To the Editor of THE TINES:
When the bugles of CONSUMPTION
blow forth next week The Times need
not fear that the turnout for parade
or battle will be any less full from
the West than from the East. Al
ready the bugles for recruits to the
army and navy have blown-out-in
muffled tones as to the army, to be
sure-and the West has responded
two to one in comparison with the
East
Let me cite the latest figures for
the four representative States of the
two sections showing the recruiting
to the regular army from April to
May 2s. as follows:
Eastern States Pennsylvania,
e,419: New York, T.l56; Massachu-
sets, 1900; New Jersey, 1882. Total,
1907.
Western States-Illinois, s.615; In
diana, 1851: Michigan, 4,4O6; Mis-
souri,, 1894. Total, 22,546.
The Population Figures.
Now turn to the latest census fig.
ures, which unfortunately I have not
by me, and think you will find
that the population Of the four East
ern States is about $4,000 900, to only
90, OOO, 900 for the four Western
states. I wish you would supply the
exact figures.
THE estimated population OF the
State named on January /, 1917. was
as follows: Pennsylvania, 1891 ,029:
New York, 1O,366,7TS: Massachusetts,,
3.747,564; New Jersey, 1881 Jos. To-

Within a few miles of the wiscon-
sin border there is a naval training
station which is sending more young
men to man our FIRST line OF defense

Readers of Eastern newspapers
might well be warned against accept
ing any statements emanatinE from
college towns in the West which COM
pare the situation in ireland with that

DAIRY PRODUCTION
SHOULD BE GREATER
Foreign Demand Stimulates
Price of Butter and Cheese.

Bozeman. May l2.-With the demand
for foodstuffs which the allies of the
United States are making. the price of
butter and cheese is bound to be very
high this year. New York exported
nearly three times as much butter in
the last 10 days of April this year as
during the same time year ago.
The increase in expectation of
cheese has likewise been very great
and at price OF about cents per
pound over last year. This is an in
dication Of the growing demand for
such concentrated food products as
butter and cheese.
High prices for dairy products are
bound to prevail in Montana as long
as the war lasts. as the butter and
cheese which usually came here are
army and naval forces are moblized.
This will mean a high price for but
ter fat in Montana until such time as
normal conditions again prevail
AS a patriotic duty. every farmer
in the state. according to Prof. G.. L.
Martin of the State College dairy de-
partment. should put forth every effort
to increase the production of butter
and cheese this year and thus con-
tribute substantially to the diminish
ing food supply of the world and to
the relief OF the starving nations.

everyone must answer for themselves.
There are number of good breeds Of
hogs and the breed a man likes best
will be most successful for him. This
may be influenced somewhat by the
popularity of the breed, for the most
popular breeds naturally command the
best sale. There are two types of hogs,
the bacon and the lard. the latter Of
which Is most common in this country.
Poland China, Chester White. Duroc
Jersey. Berkshire and Hampshire are
the most popular lard hogs while the
Tamworth and Large Yorkshire repre-

and Duroc Jerseys are probably most
numerous in Montana. though in west
ern Montana the Berkshires are decid-
eddy and deservedly popular.

FERTILITY IMPAIRED
BY LACK OF GRASS
Late Spring Shows in Num-
Der of Eggs Hatched.

There have been many complaints
this spring anent the lack of fertility
among the Matching eggs. This spring
is no exception to the rule. every year
one hears the same thing early in the
season. The causes for it are various
but generally can be traced to lack of
green feed. lack of meat in the diet and
lack of exercise. This spring the grass
and all other green stuff is late. Even
the weeds have scarcely put in an APP
pearance. Consequently many Of our
flocks have had to go without any
green stuff whatever, and for some
reason this affects the fertility of the
eggs and makes many of them sterile.
Still another cause for sterility is lack
of animal food in the diet. Under nat
ural conditions chickens roam around
and bugs. worms and other insects
make n large portion of their diet.
When fenced in or confined by adverse
weather early in the year this part OF
the diet is shut off and hence the eff
feet is apparent in lack OF fertility.
Lack Of exercise is another potent fac
the eggs. Fat, lazy, indolent hens sell
dom have a high per cent of fertility in
the eggs. Such being the causes. the
remedy is apparent. Supply the defi-
cicnCioS. Turn the chickens out where
they can get some green stuff. or cut 1t
ana throw it in the chicken yard. II
You have mangcls or carrots they will
furnish it, silagc Is also good, but fresh
grass and weeds are best of all Supply
meat foods as we'll. This can be in the
form of commercial beef scrap, or you
can throw waste meant from the table.
If YOU are killing in the ranch. hang up
bit of the neck or brisket where the
fowls can pick it. Give the birds exer-
else. Feed their grain in deep litter
where they will have to work for 1t.
Any animal that is in good, vigorous
condition is in better shape to repro
ducc its kind than when it is flabby
and fat. &c, your hens into good con-
dition.
Rnotler cause TOT poor hafCheS
arises from the fact that many of the
eggs get chilled at this time Of the year.
When cold weather is the rule, gather
the eggs tWce or three times a day.
keep them in the house where they will
be in a cool, yet even temperature
Turn them every day and do not set
eggs that ar" over two weeks old. A

strong chicks lies in proper feeding OF
