NO WHEAT FOR CHICK FEED

Missoula.-Even if eggs are selling
at IS cents a dozen. hens will not be
accorded privileges denied human be-
ings, is the view held by Missoula grain
dealers in announcing that no wheat is
to be sold hereafter for poultry.
81 am convinced that we would be
acting in direct diSobedience to the
presidents proclamation if we contin-
ued selling wheat fit for flour and
bread making as chicken feed" said
Tylar y. Thompson.
Oats and corn will be sold for chick
en- feed, continued Mr.. Thompson.
Oats are at present selling at $3.50 a
hundred, and corn, cracked or whole,
was quoted by Missoula dealers as
scarce and too high to buy
These conditions, apparently hope
less to poultry dealers, will not endure,
however, according to Mr.. Thompson.
"The corn market is due for big
drop in the near future as result of
the immense 1917 crop" he said.

PROPER QUARTERS FOR COWS
Suitable Place Must Be Furnished in
Order to Get Best Results
Provide Ventilation.

To give best results mich cows
should be provided with suitable quar-
tiers for feeding and milking. Stalls
should be provided for each COW and
feed boxes and manager racks should
be so arranged that they will be of
easy access for cleaning at least once
every day. Twenty-Five dollars, plus
the labor, should fit any ordinary barn
with stalls for five cows and the nee
essary feed boxes, managers and gut
ters.
Plenty of ventilation is necessary,
because the COW is somewhat like the
human being, she thrives best. where
there is plenty of fresh air available.
Provision should be made to take care
of the manure. This can be done by
providing plenty of bedding in box
stalls, or, if stanchions are used, by
having water-tight cutters about IA
inches wide and 10 inches deep run
ming full length of the stable.

DAIRY
FACTS
FEED cows WHILE MILKING?
Much Depends on Temperament of An
imal and Person Who MiIks and
Attends to Her.

There has been some little discus
sion recently in the various farm pa
pers on the matter of whether it is adj
visable to feed cows while milking. 1t
would seem to me that little advantage
can be gained from such practice and
there are several noteworthy objec-
lions to it, says a writer in an ex-
change. Of course, much depends on
the temperament of the cow and the
person who milkS and cares for her.
There are cows with a quiet DISPOSE
ton and not of a hoggish nature that
will stand quietly while being MIXED.
In fact few cows will not stand more
quietly during the milking process if
they have nothing else to attract their
attention. If the COW is standing quiet
ly she sees the mixer when he ap-
proaches and steps in beside her. She
also gives down her milk more freely
than when she is attempting to eat
at the same time.
On the other hand, if q COW has her
head down in the manager she will
probably not see the mixer when he
approaches, and the first intimation
she has of his presence is when he
speaks to, or touches her, and if she
is of a nervous disposition she will
probably jump back and then continue
to annoy him during the entire process
of milking.

OUR BOYS IN FRANCE AND
HOME PROTECTION

The men on the firing line represent
the pick of our American youth. One in
four of our boys at home was sick, re-
jected because of physical deficiency.
Many times the kidneys were to blame.
If we wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or if we want to increase
our chances for a long life, DR.. Pierce of
the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, says
that you should drink plenty of water
daily between meals. Then procure at
your nearest drug store Anuric double
strength. This An-u-ric drives the uric
acid out and cures backache and rheuma-
tiSm.
If we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition a diet of milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once a day,
is the most suitable. Drink plenty of
pure water, take Anuric three times day
for a month.
Step into the drug store and ask for
Anuric go cents a PACKAGE or send DR..
Pierce 10c for trial pkg. Anuric many
times more potent than lithia, eliminates
uric acid hot water melts sugar. A
short trial will convince you.

CUSTER COUNTY PLANNING
TO INTERN ENEMY ALIENS
Secret Service Men Making Quiet In,
vestigation and Securing Evil
dence Against Pro-Germans

Miles City-Members of the Custer
county defense council have met with
the board of county commissioners in
regard to the disposal of pro-German
residents of this county who may be
arrested under the espionage act. it
was agreed that the county would take
over the matter of guarding and sup
porting any of the enemy ALIENS who
may be arrested and interned and that
the prisoners be obliged to work on
the roads of the county.
For several weeks United States
secret service men have been quietly
at work in this county securing evil
dence against pro-Germans and anti
American agitators. 1t is rumored that
the evidence has progressed to the
point where arrests are liable at any
moment and presumably the subject of
of the prisoners was brought
to the attention of the defense council
with the above action resulting.

COMBINES OF PR0FITEERS
OBJECT OF FORD'S ATTACK
Retailers of State Will Be Forced to
Put Prices Back Within Reas-
enable Bounds.

Helena.-Attorney General S. c..
Ford has announced that he will soon
begin moving against retail combines
in the state to force them to dissolve
and put back prices on retail goods
which have been advanced by such
combines. He says his work will be
specifically directed against retail
merchants of various kinds, including
grocery, tobacco, drug and other deal
ers.
1t will be remembered that Mr. Hoo
ver's plan to force retail prices back
to a reasonable level from the heights
to which the war has caused them tC
rise was by means of bringing pres
sure on wholesalers. The plan was &c
require wholesalers to refuse to sell
goods to retailers who charged unfair
or extortonate prices under penalty
of losing their license.
Mr.. Ford will not wait for that but
will act under state statute, chapter
81, session laws of 1909, page 127,
which forbids the formation of COM
bines to raise prices.
"The American Tobacco company"
said Mr.. Ford has volunteered to pro
vide me with evidence to show that,
the recent boost Civ
en- cigarettes and tobacco by the re-
tail tObaccOnistS of the state. the price
of tobacco and cigarettes to the re-
tailerS has not been advanced ut all.
Il have also received letters from
wholesalers in mercantile goods offer
ing to produce evidence that the re-
tailers of the state are charging out |
rageous prices in many things, though |
the wholesale price of the goods has |
not been raised.
Groceries, drugs, produce and many
other things have been put up in the
state by agreement among the retail
and my purpose is to take
steps to force the dissolution of such
combines and the reduction of prices"

Chinese Like Automobiles.

American automobiles are rapid
iy growing popular in China. Their
use is limited not by the desire of the
wealthy natives to possess them, but
by the total lack of roads outside of
a few city districts. Many of the
wealthy Chinese own several motors,
and in Shanghai it is said to be diff
cult to maintain a taxicab business be-
cause the natives charter all the cars.
The Chinese have also established sew
eral motor driven bus lines. Chinese

LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
WILL END OCT. II
Patriotism Demands Financial
Support of All Americans
That Our Cause May Win

The call for the Second Liberty
Loan isin progress. The government
requires at once, above all possible
receipts from taxation, sum equiva-
lent to $50 for every man, woman and
child of our population. If sufficient
funds are not voluntarily offered to the
government it will be necessary to
obtain the amounts required by other
means and the only alternative is
excessively increased taxation. Com
mon sense and self interest, to say
nothing of the higher motive Of pa
triotic support Of the government, de-
mand the fullest cooperation of every
American.
BY this time there should be no
lack of understanding on the part of
anyone of the essential features of the
Liberty Loan or the Liberty Bonds.
The money offered to the government
is represented by the promise in writ
ing of the wealthiest nation in the
world to repay the sum at a stated
time with a fair rate of interest. All
of the resources and credit of the
nation, present and future, are behind
that promise The bond which con-
tains the promise is a negotiable
security of the highest type and is and
will be at all times practically as
good as cash to the owner. For gen
erations a great part of the currency
in circulation throughout the United
States has been founded entirely upon
the ownership of similar bonds by the
issuing banks. Safety and STABILITY
are fundamental characteristics of
these bonds universally recognized.
The vital problem today is to tran
slate this universal recognition into
universal action. The loan cannot sue
coed without the cooperation OF the
vast majority of citizens of limited
means and incomes There are, of
course, thousands upon thousands of
citizens in unfortunate or straitened
circumstances who cannot assume the
responsibility for their per capita pro-
portion of the loan. AS against these
there will be many large subscriptions
of business institutions and of
Weather citizens, but il is doubtful
if these will more than make good the
shortage from those unable to partici-
pate If the average citizen does not
assume the responsibility for at least
the proportion for himself and his
dependents /. rs certain that the loan
will fail of its object. For reasons
which ought to be obvious to every
thinking citizen such result would
be disastrous. 1t can be avoided only
by the speedy and complete assumD-
ton of our responsibilities by each Of
us.
To those of us who are denied mil
itary service or relieved from that
form of duty, the Second Liberty Loan
presents an opportunity to show our
colors. 1t also presents a respon-
sibility to every one which no one In
justice to himself or to the great
cause for which we are fighting should
seek to evade. We sincerely trust
that no slackers will be found in our
organization when the subscription
lists shall have been closed.-Pacific
