BAND RALLIES BRING
HEAVY ENLISTMENTS

Helena, March 27-Rallics with
bands are being held in some of the
principal cities tonight to stimulate re-
cruiting. Butte, Anaconda and Great
Falls report very heavy cnlistments. 1t
Is thought now that the Second Mon
tana infantry will begin to mobilize
here by Sunday night. Recruits are
pouring in from cities. which have no
companies and these men are sent d.
rectsto Helena, where they will be as
signed to fill out companies not at war
strength.
Miss Margaret Sieben, in charge Of
the Red Cross work in this city has
received many inquiries from women
who would volunteer. Instructions are
awaited, however, from headquarters
at Denver and nothing definite re-
garding Montana's Red Cross contin-
gent can be stated -.-.

retary Houston continued, 1T may be
necessary in household preservation Of
food more extensively to pack fruit
and vegetables in other containers.
The secretary suggested the pre-
scrvation by drying for soup stock OF
such vegetables as carrots, potatoes,
and celery. and the drying of surplus
sweet corn. Many crops grown usually
for soil Improvement or forage, he de-
clarcd, possess large food value if
utilized properly and their utilization
for human food and oil production,
doubtless will be advisable" Such
crops as soy beans, COW peas, peanuts,
kafits and other grain sorgurns were
mentioned specifically in this con-
ncction.
The secrctary's statement will be
distributed through the country by
the department in order to reach as
many farmers as possible. 1t contains
detailed suggestions which department
officials believe will be of great value
to many who heretofore have given
little thought N the scientific side of
farming.

IN FREIGHT RATES
Railroads Indicate. What
They Will Ask to Meet
Increased Costs.

Washington, March 27.--Gcneral ad-
vances in freight rates will be sought
probably within the next ten days by
the railroads of the United States
Preliminary steps were taken today in
an informal conference with the inter-
state commerce commission.
Definite announcement was made
that eastern roads would ask Is per
cent advance on all commodities cx-
ccpt ore, bituminous coal and coke.
Representatives, of western lines in
dicated today that they too would ask
for Is per cent. Railroads of the
southwest submitted figures showing
that increases ranging between IS and
'21.4 per cent We're needed to meet ad-
ditional cost of operation. Southern
railroads will determine the percentage
of increase desired at conference
here next Friday.
No further authority will be sought
under the present proceedings to in
crease passenger fares.
In addition to the proceedings before
liiC liltciStiLc
concerning rates, spokesman, for the
railroads let it be known that they are
preparing to go before every state
railroad and public utilities commits
sion in the Union to ask increases on
interstate freight traffic.
- Dissenting Voice.
Only one dissenting voice was raised
at totlays conference. "A. T.. Helm, rep

3. In the case of all railroads except
those in the south the request for
amendment to the rules so as to per-
nit a general advance in rates was
based primarily upon the ground that
the cost of labor, fuel. equipment and
supplies had risen to unexpected levels
and that taxes were also much higher.

GOVERNMENT. HAS
45,0O0 GUARDSMEN
$4,000 More Added by Order
Suspending Mastering
Out of Service.

washington, March @1.---Ncarly Is,
tlonal guard force available for fed
eral police duty by a war department
order suspending the order to muster
out of service all guard organizations
still in the federal service. With the
men called out during the past few
days, this gives the government up
ward of $4,000 guardsmen for employ
ment in their home states to protect
United States property.
Most OF the men affected by todav's
order are at their home mobilization
camps preparing to return to civilian
life after long stays on the Mexican
border. They now will be held at their
camps or armories for assignment as
conditions require.
In all $4,000 men are retained hv the
oider, but several of the units already
had been designated for federal scrv-
ice.
Another announcement made today
was that the federal reserve board has
ordered army vouchers accepted by
federal reserve banks as negotiable pa
per. The action was taken to meet
the emergency presented by the fail
tire of the last congress to pass an
army appropriation bill and the de-
ficiency bills to cover border mobili
cation expenses.
Probably the total amount Of busi-
Qess the war department must do on
credit will pass $5o0O0,00O before ap
nropriations become available. This
burden was found too heavy for con-
tractors to carry unaidcd.
AS originally given out at the war
department.. the list of troops retained
in federal service contained a number
of units which had been mustered out
Department officials explained tonight
that reports of the completion of the
mastering out formalitics had been
late in reaching them. Troops dis
charged from federal service as late as
today thus escaped further federal
duty until another formal call is is
sued. TOday's order will not affect
any troops mustered out before in
structions to hold them arrived.

Sir Herbert b. Ames, honorable Sec

said.. THE patriotic fund says to
everyone there: if you can't go fight
yourself, you ought to do something
toward the support Of those whose
husbands and fathers have gone"
Everyone In Canada takes pride in do

When this welter of blood is over

II Y. S. Had Been in.
If the United States had entered the
war when Canada did, Sir Herbert
said, and had put forth efforts in the
same ratio. this country would have
enlisted more than 100000 men and
sent at least 100000 men over the
seas to the trenches, while we would
have appropriated for war expendi-
lures about $l2,000,0OO,oOo.
Canada has sent $4,000 fit men, of
whom 100000 have gone to the
trenches he said. In addition $4,000
others were recruited who were weed
cd out by the rigors of training, while
21,000 reservists of other countries
have gone from Canada. Their de-
pendent families also are cared for out
of our patriotic fund.
These recruiting results were made
possible by the fact that men enlisting
could be assured that their families
would be provided for on a decent
scale in their communities and more
than that, they would be sympathcti-
calls looked after by representatives of
the fund. We have cared for 100000
families needing such care and now
are caring for $4,000 and sc, 900 fami-

several months have, been $1,000, 900
