NEW POSTAL RATE
IS WELL OBSERVED

Patrons of the Glasgow postoffice
have made an exceptionally good
record in putting on the correct post
age since the new law went into ef-
feet last Friday. Only small per-
centage of the mail has been found
to carry only two cents instead of the
three now required, and these letters
came mostly from the rural districts.
The requirements of the new law
are that any first-class mail sent to
outside towns must carry 3-cent
stamp for every ounce or fraction

"That means the day of service is
here" said Senator Cummins, "when
each of us must render to the gov
ernment all the service of which he is
capable. If there is a man in the
United States who will not do his
utmost to sustain our overseas forces
and make them strong for victory
he is not worthy of American citizen

MRS. CLAIRE DUNCAN DIES
AFTER SHORT ILLNESS

Mrs. Claire Duncan of Saco, the
wife of Claire Duncan, formerly of
this city, who left with the second
contingent of drafted men on Sept. 10,
for American Lake, Wash, died Tues
day after a short illness.
Realizing that her condition was
critical, every effort was made to
find her husband who is in the army,
and knowing that he had been sent
for, she anxiously awaited his return,
but death won the race.
The sympathy of the community
goes out to the grief-stricken husband
in his bereavement.

COAL DEALERS MUST
GET STATE LICENSES

Attorney General Ford has written
County Attorney Borton relative to
all coal dealers obtaining licenses. The
letter follows:
Helena, Montana, Oct. 26, 1917.
Mr.. Carl D. Borton,
County Attorney,
Glasgow, Montana.
Dear Sir: Chapter 80, Laws of the
Twelfth Legislative assembly, make it
unlawful for any person, persons, as
sociations, or corporations, to know
ingly expose for sale, or sell, any coal
at retail, within the state of Mon
tana, without first having obtained a
license from the secretary of state.
l am advised by the secretary of
state that only III coal dealers H.
censes have been issued.
There are, no doubt, a great many
retail dealers in every county in the
state who have failed to make appli-
cations to the secretary of state for
such licenses.
l wish you would thoroughly inves-
tigate this matter at once, and that
criminal proceedings be instituted
against all retail coal dealers who
have failed to comply with the pro-
visions of said act.
The coal situation in Montana, is
serious, and I feel that all state, coun-
ty and city officials, should cooperate
with the Federal authorities to the end
that this condition may be relieved.
The people must be supplied with coal
at the priced fixed by the government.
If the dealers in your county are
selling coal in excess of the price
fixed, wish you would report the
facts to this office, together with such
evidence as you are able to secure,
and the same will be presented to B.
K. Wheeler, United States Attorney,
for prosecution.
Your cooperation and assistance in
this matter will be greatly appreciat-
ed.
Respectfully,
S. C. FORD,
Attorney General.

LOCAL GIRL SCORES
HIT IN CHICAGO

iii xA\ NHlSACO
Miss Gladys Memminger of this
city, who is completing a course in
elocution and acting in Chicago, ap-
peared in recital a short time ago
and the Chicago papers speak of her
with the highest praise.
Of her first appearance before a
Chicago audience, the dramatic critic
of the Chicago Herald says:
"Glad" Memminger, tiny girl with
a lot of blond hair, gave some imper-
sonations of raw recruit. 1t was
the cleverest performance l have seen
in ages, and if | were telling Elsie
Hanis' fortune, would warn her of a
certain blond lady, with sweet smile
and a wonderful personality"

a Poa..o P.ohl.n

From Kansas City Times Apr. 2, 1917
Hundreds of letters and personal
visits to r. z. Hendricks, 1885 Elm
wood Avenue by persons seeking adj
ditional information as to the con-
struction and management of potato
pens" described by him IN a letter
recently printed in the Speaking the
Public Mind column, show such an in
terest in his revolutionary scheme to
grow potatoes in quantities IN a linn
tied area that the Star herewith pre-
sents with more detail the plan he
has proved successful for many years.
Plan a potato pen 6x8 feet on the
inside ground measurement and six
feet high. IF desired, the length of
the pen may be multiple of eight feet
This plat selected is to be made into
'one large potato hill, the sides sup
ported by a loosely constructed pen,
built ike the old rail fence, Or two
by four or any similar sized timber,
firmly supported by posts Rich earth,
or earth and manure, may be at hand
sufficient to fill the pen to- the top.
Lay off the plat of ground and di-
vide by five equally spaced length
wise lines and seven crosswise lines,
placing a potato eye at each intersec-
ton of the lines, on the surface of
the ground. Cover these with anoth-
er six inches of earth and repeat the
operation until twelve layers have
been placed the pen having been built
as the earth was piled up.
As the pen rises insert in the cen
ter of the side three feet above the
ground a piece of timber three feet
long and about the diameter leaving
an end protruding so that it may be
loosened and withdrawn and the mois-
ture of the center of the bed de-
termined by inserting the arm in
the hole.
The top layer of earth should be
sloped gently toward the center so
that the mound will absorb and not
shed rain but care should be taken
that mud be prevented from forming
on the top into a crust. When the
earth is dry the mound should be
sprinkled on both top and sides.
The potato vines will grow both to
the top and sides of the pen, emerg-
ing from the crevices at the side and
concealing the timbers- Loose straw
or leaves may be piled up against the
side of the pen to prevent the earth
from running out of the interstics.
When the potatoes are matured the
pen may be torn down and the pota-
toes rolled out of their thin covering
of earth with rake thus preventing
cutting them as frequently as hap
pens when they are dug from the
hills

Britain at Washinston's Tomb

When the representative of the
British government united with the
representatives of France at Mt Yer
non to pay tribute to the memory of
Washington, his action recognized
the victory that Washington helped
win for the people of England as well
as for the thirteen colonies. In his
capacity as British commissioner in
the great war Mr.. Balfour is an heir
to the results of the American revolu-
ton.
The blows struck by Washington
against reactionary government in
England were among the forces that
eventually overcome that sort of gov
eminent and assisted in creating the
liberal British empire of today-the
empire with program of dramatic
rule and social justice, the nation of
Gladstone and Lloyd George.
1t IS because the England of today
has come to realize the meaning of the
things Washington fought for and to
a.'1hpathize essentially with his ideals
that its representative can join with
cut trace of embarrassment in hon
orin" the memory of the great rebel
against British reactionaryism.- Star

The Food Waste

Manhattan, Kansas, May THAT
the food situation must be dealt with
largely through the conservation of
food, regulation of diet, and the elm
ination of waste, is the belief of the
instructors in the domestic science
department of the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural college. Food waste IN
Kansas may be conservatively esti-
mated at $14,0OO,000, 1t is pointed
out.
Waste in the household is due
largely to bad preparation of food
materials, bad cooking, improper
care and handling, buying and serv-
ing an overabundant supply, failure
to save and utilize the portions of
the food not consumed, and too elab-
crate entertaining Of guests
Buy meat for stew often, advise
the domestic science specialists
There is no waste and It may be ap-
petizingly prepared IN stews, hash,
croquettS, creamed meat, meat pie,
goulash, and scalloped meat and rice.
Meat ground into hamburg steak,
costs half as much as good steak, Is
equally nutritious, and has less waste.
All meats put up IN tins are expen-

Use no pork except loins, ribs and
trimmings which cannot be cured

Duty of the Windmill.

Manhattan, Kansas, May THAT
the farm windmill should play an i'm
portant part this year IN the great
food production campaign, is the be-
lief of H B. Walker, drainage and ir-
rigation engineer, Kansas State Ag-
ricultural college.
''The farm windmill should be no
Sslacker' this year." said Professor
Walker. cit should be ready day and
nigt to absorb the energy of the
wind to lift water for thirsty gardens.
Lack of timely rainfall is often the
doom of an otherwise carefully han
died and tended vegetable garden.
This year the farm garden will be
an important factor in reducing the
cost of living. Accordingly, every
precaution should be taken to pre-
vent a failure of the garden crops.
In those areas where the natural rain
fall is not dependable, some simple
method of irrigation should be provid-
ed
The farm windmill will serve faith
fully and well in lifting water for ir-
rigation if given an opportunity, Pro-
fessor Walker pointed out. This
faithful source of farm power, how
ever, will not save the garden unless
the owner, co-operateS in conserving
the water pumped. The average wind
mill lifts water intermittenly and at
a slow rate. Consequently, If the
water pumped is allowed to flow di-
rectly onto the warm dry soil, small
area can only be satisfactorily COW
cred. A small trucking flow does not
spread laterally over the surface of
the soil but it percolates deeply into
the soil beyond the reach of the shall
low rooted vegetables.
If the water lifted, on the other
hand, is stored in tanks, barrels or
reservoirs, volume sufficiently large
can be secured IN a surprisingly short
time, to effectively irrigate a much
larger area. A barrel of water con-
tanning thirty-one and one-half gal
Ions will cover a garden bed six feet
| wide by eight feet long, one inch
deep. A quantity of water even as
small as this if properly applied, will
greatly help the lettuce bed or the
shallow rooted radishes. It is ad-
visable, therefore, TO use even an or
| binary barrel for storage If nothing
larger is available, in preference to
| direct pumping.
A reservoir sufficiently large to
hold all of the water the average
windmill can pump In three or four
| days is much more desirable. The or
/ binary stock tank made Of wood, steel
or concrete would serve well.

Bad Luck No Bar

Topeka, Kansas, May 1.-Kansas
is not going to let the farmer fail.
Bad luck in the last year or two
will not be allowed to cut down crops
in this war time. Kansas is going to
finance the man who is out of luck
and therefore short of seed or of feed
for his live stock.
The finance committee OF the
Kansas council of defense expresses
confidence in the ability and willing
ness of the local bankers to look at
ter farmers in their vicinity. The
committee will act as a general clear
ing house, however, to bring cases
Of farm need to the attention of the
bankers. In any case where local
funds may prove inadequate the com
mitee will provide means for extend
ing the necessary credit.
Several cases have already been
taken up, in which farmers lacked
money to buy necessary machinery
In other cases men had no grain and
were turning their horses out to Craze
at night after hard work all day, thus
reducing efficiency fully fifty pei
cent. In all these cases the local
banks were abundantly able to meet
the situation as soon as they learned
of the need.
The members of the committee
representing all the congressiona-
districts of the state are: Governor
Arthur Capper, chairman; l. H
| Wulfekuhler of Leavenworth, presi
dent of the State Bankers Associa
