Crazy About Them.

Livingston, Aug. :o.-Several
residents Of Livingston were
frightened by. the antics OF a real.
honest to. goodness porcupine. who
strolled into town to get u close
view OF the white lights. .
The animal was first sighted OH
the west side of town. when it en-
4 number of women heard the
cats fighting and rushed to rescue
their pets. but they beat {, very
hasty retreat when Mr.. Porcupine
showed his quilts.
After his fight with the cats the
animal proceeded to the east side
Of town. where he staged another
pussy fight, rounding up about
seven cats, which he licked to u
finish.
Later in the day the country Wis
itor went to the Masonic temple on
Second street. and tried to chew II
hole in the door.
He was noticed by passcrsby.
who called the police. Officer
Pete Holt was unfortunate enough
to be on duty and he answered
the call. He did not know just
how to go about effecting the ar
rest of his GULLY friend, but finally
obtained u scoop shovel and put
the animal in II box. The porcu-
pine now rests in the city pound

I Eight to Help in Conser-
vation Program.

Provision for Having
More Advisors.
BEGIN WORK AT ONCE

'Bozcnian. Aug. 22.---Under the new
food survey bill passed by congress
two weeks ago. eight women county
agents have been appointed for Mon
tana by the extension department Of
the Montana State college. The coll
lege is entrusted by the federal gov
ernment with the promotion of the
food production and conservation cam
paign which the department Of agri-
culture and the new food commissioner
OF the United States Herbert c. Hoo
yer. are conducting as "a part of the
war program. The appointments as
they have just been announced by Di-
rector r. 5. Cooley of the State Col
lege Extension service are as follows:
Miss Lucille Reynolds. Lewis and
Clark and Broadwater counties: Miss
Christina Woof. Flathead county: Miss
Neven Q. Betz. city of Great Falls:
Mrs. 4. G.e Young, Gallatin county:
Miss Mary Newell. Fergus county:
Miss Antoinette Olson, Sheridan co,,n-
ty: Miss f. Marie Barnard. Custer.
Rosebud and Prairie counties; Mrs. d.
S. Fox. Sweetgrass county.
On Monday and Tuesday of this week
several Of the new appointees met in
Bozeman for a conference with Miss
Bess NJ Rowe. home economics en-
tension worker for the college. who
will be the leader of the women agents
in Montana. All of the women agents
will be at their posts within a day
or two except Miss Newell. who does
not begin work TIL September L.
The promptness in getting the ap-
pointments made and the work started
Is due to the fact that prior to the
passage Of the law plans for the use
Of the money expected to be appro-
priated under it were already made and
approved by the authorities at Wash
ington. so that as soon as the money
was available work might begin The
food survey bill was before congress
for several months. though at no time
was there any opposition to it: but
the delay was apparently due to tho
vigorous opposition to the food control
bill, Il totally distinct measure.

according to a letter received from one
OF the members of the corps and print
ed today in the Montana Record

out the commanding officer and re-
ported: THE Montana state staff corps
has arrived"
The officer looked at the top SER
Ecant auizzically a moment and then
directed: Say that again.
The Corps Has Arrived.
/" The Montana state staff corps has
arrived" repeated the top sergeant.

"We've no place for YOU around here"
But we were directed to report at
Dcs Moines," answered the top SER
geant.
"Maybe they mean Camp Dodge"
said the G.. ..
So the top sergeant and the II men
under him. every last one of them
loaded down with civilian impedimen-
Ia. trudged over to Camp Dodge. Once
more the top sergeant sought out the
commanding officer. and once more he
was accorded Il reception Of who tho

Back Again They Go.
But the Camp Dodge commanding
officer was much more certain that the
Montana staff corps was not expected
mt Camp Dodge than was the c. 0. at
the post. So the Camp Dodge c. .. sent
the 22 men back to the Fort Des

Like lost souls the boys wandered
around. Finally a subaltern took pity
on them, rustled u couple of tents and

PRESCOTT BOYS IN NAVY
 SHOW THEIR COLORS

Great Lakes, H., Sept. 8, 1917. Editor News:-
 Following is a rough account of a baseball game which took place be- tween Co. 12, Detention Camp, con- posed of Arkansas and Texas boys, and Co. 13, made up mostly of Chi |cago "Jelly Beans"
 Arkansas boys, especially those from Prescott, who have been in training here since last Thursday. have distinguished themselves in many ways, but the climax was reached this afternoon when Fred Litton and Lonnie McMillian won more fame on the diamond. Litton performed on the mound in stellar fashion, striking out fifteen of the twenty-three men who faced him. and hammering a double to left in the second inning, scoring two men. He later scored on single by team mate. The Chicago boys showed no inclination whatever to straighten any of his crooked deliveries, and but for faulty support he would have staged a no hit affair, all in his own favor. Those Windy City lads bit at 'em just like old heads, but this Arkansas pro- duct had them completely at his mercy.
 No less important, from the score keepers standpoint, was the part Lon nie contributed toward the victory. He ran bases la Ben Tincup, handled all but one of his chances cleanly, and poked out two singles in three trips to the plate. Although the fellows from "Chi.' were forced to acknowledge that they were cleanly licked 5-3, many were the favorable comments passed on the two "Razorbacks froro Arkansas"
 Yours truly,
