GOOD DISPLAY FOR FAIR

M. J. Forsell, who has charge of
the exhibits for the Missoula county
fair this year, is busy gathering sam
pies and is securing many good ex-
hibits Of grains and grasses, despite
the dry season, and the exhibit this
year will be equally as good as that
of any former display. The farmers
are bringing in many samples which
Mr. Forsell is preparing and sending
into Missoula. The grain is all hand
picked and carefully selected before
it is placed i'm the moulds.

DR.. Lconora Bond has opened her
office in the Roman hotel and will
spend every Tuesday and Friday in

Last Friday. August "a, was the
fifth anniversary of the memorable
fire that so completely destroyed the
town of Roman. All through this
hot. dry summer the thought has con-
stantly REQUIRED to US that the same
conditions are now prevailing and
that another conhagration is very
possible. Without water for fire pro-
lection no town is safe and we will
all draw long sigh Of relief when
the proposed water system is finally
installed and we are in measure
protected from a recurrence of the
disastrous fire of five years ago.

BIG DEMAND FOR
WAR HORSES

In spite of the fact that there has
been only a slow market for horses
this summer there seems little reas-
ON to expect that demand and prices
will be on the upgrade in the very
near future.
The wastage of war and the new
demands of our conscript army will
absorb any surplus that can be put
on the market in good condition.
In the first thirty months of war,
1,142,178 horses and mules were ex-
ported from the United States to the
allies. In spite of the shortage of
ships. since the first Of the present
year 10000 head were shipped In jan
uary, 1917. and $4,000 head in Feb
ruary. This means that four horses
out of every one hundred in our coun-
try have been already exported. and
yet recent reports from the front tell
us that hundreds of pieces of artil-
lery have been lost due to lack of
means to haul them away. These
horses have been bought at prices
ranging from $115 to $240 per head,
thus bringing the farmers of the
country over $225,0OO,OOO. The busi-
ness is still fourishing. and if the
supply keeps up there will be no de-
crease for some time to come.
And now an added drain comes on
our horse supply. The passage of
the selective draft measure by con-

BIG CROP OF GAME
BIRDS THIS YEAR

September 18th marks the opening
of the shooting season this year and
for the first time the season for all
the feathered tribe begins on the
same date. Ducks, geese, brant, sage
hens, grouse and prairie chickens
may all be taken after September IS.
In the past the season for water
fowl begun at an earlier date This
proved disastrous to more than one
hunter for the reason that they took
chances on other birds out of season.
Where caught they were fined. But
this season the law is such that no
hunting for any wild fowl will be al
lowed under the law until the date
of September Is.
The law limits the number of wild
fowl that any one hunter may take in
one day. In the case of grouse,
prairie chickens and all birds belong
ing to that class the limit is five per
day. AS to ducks, 26 may be killed
by one person in a day. There is no
limit on geese.

Marie Doro will be seen at the
Evangeline on Tuesday in the Jesse
L. Lasky production of "The Lash. "
vital society drama written espec-
tally for her by the noted writer,
Paul West, and prepared for the
screen by George Dubois Proctor.
It is a Paramount Picture.
For the story Of "The Lash,
Paul West has selected forgotten
little island, St. Ba'tiste, and the
drawing room of fashionable Soc
iety. The little island where the first
few scenes of the picture were laid.
was settled several centuries ago,
by some hardy voyagers from Brit
tany and altho the rest of the world
has advanced, this island still re-
tains the customs and the religious
bigotry of it's ancestors. The inhabit-
ants are ruled by "Prefect," whose
word is absolute law, and one of the
customs is that any woman sacrific-
ing her honor, is to be dashed, by the
"Prefect," across the shoulders with
a heavq whip.
Miss Doro is seen as the daughter
