BIGGEST MEAT ORDER
IN HISTORY PLACED
Chicago Packers Aid Allies,
Red Cross and Belgians.

CHICAGO. Nov :I--A group Of about
ffteen packers sat around a table in
the Food Administration Offices to-day
At the head sat Joseph +. Cotton chief
of the meat division, the country's "mest
boss" Before him was a long list speci-
fyng the meat needs of the Allies. the
Red cross and the Belgian relief or
ganizations.
For about two hours the yroup sat
with pencils and paper pads in hands.
Nonotonously came the terse questions
"Who has that and "Who can get
that from tho meat boss" as he
checked his list with as monotonous
responses from the packers as they
took their order"
When the session broke up tho great
est meat order in the history OF the
world had been placed The order was
split into sections and allotted through
out the country.
4 tremendous order for meat for the
American Army failed to arrive In time
and will be allotted later. Part OF the
delivery will go forward after the turn
Of the year. Cured meats and lard

WARRINGTON, Nov. 27.--Simultaneous

Indications are that the Russian Cen

peal. He has warned the Russian peo-

DISCUSS PLANS FOR
ASSISTING FARMERS
County Agents Hold Meeting to
Secure Better Cooperation
Among Communities

A district conference of all the
county agricultural agents in the
northern part of Montana was held
at Glasgow Friday, May 25, in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce
and Agriculture. The purpose of the
conference was to consider in more
detail definite plans for food mobiliza-
tion during the summer and to ar
range series of farmers picnics or
meetings of patriotic and educational
interest in each county during the
latter part of June and the earlier
part of July.
Four hundred meetings have been
planned over the state. There will be
speakers at each meeting; one, a wo-
man, to take up the topic of economy
in food, clothing and home manage
ment; a second speaker will handle
agricultural production along lines of
the national policy. A third speaker
will consider the individual response
bility in the national cause, "making
the world safe for democracy" in
culcating devotion to country and the
principles of liberty.
Eight of these picnics will be held
in various parts of Valley county. All
farmers are urged to attend the pic
mic in their locality. Notice of the
meeting places will be published later.
The county agents and others pres
ent at the conference were E. w. An
derson and F. E. Fuller of Sheridan
county; Paul P. Banker of Hill coun-
ty; A. D. Anderson of Richland coun-
ty; F. ]. Chase of Toole county: Rob-
ert Clarkson of Phillips county; R. E.

Jackman of Blaine county; ]. o. Tay-
lor, supervision of northern district.

WOOL PRIZES AT FAIR.

In an effort to interest the farmers
in Montana in the raising of more
sheep, not only because of the tre-
mendous rise in the price of mutton,
but because of the pressing need for
more wool to be used in the manufac-
ture of blankets and clothing for our
soldiers, the Montana State fair,
which is to be held September 24-29,
is offering liberal premiums to own
ers of pure bred sheep of the leading
breeds.
So much wool is to be required in
the making of uniforms, socks, over
coats, blankets and other parts of
army equipment, despite the fact that
the number of sheep in this country
has steadily decreased since 1909, that
1t is feared wool famine will re-
suit. Sheep production in many of the
warning nations which have been sup
plying this country with wool, has
fallen off to such an extent that it is
difficult to buy wool abroad. It was
stated by a noted authority recently
that sheep production in France has
decreased nearly 40 per cent since the
opening of the war.
Although it is not generally known,
census figures show that the average
sheep has increased in value over 40
per cent in the last year. On Jan.
l, 1916, the average value of a sheep
in this country was $5.17. On Jan.
l, 1917, the average value of a sheep
had scared to $7.14. Sheep values are
still on the jump, and it is not known
how far they will go. Live sheep are
bringing from twelve to thirteen cents
a pound, and wool of good quality is
selling for over fifty cents pound.

voluntary service of the government,

SHOOTING AT MALTA,

Desperate efforts by Carl Chamber
lain to escape from the Jail at Malta
Friday evening proved futile, and re-
suited in his being shot by the jailor.
Terrorizing the inmates of the
Jail with threats that the would kill
any one who "squealed," Chamberlain
picked the lock on the cell door and,
while Jailor Doucette and his wife
were at supper, made his way to the
desk in the Jail office where he Sc
cured a gun.
When Doucette came to the door he
covered him with his gun and forced
him into another room and insisted
on closing the door. Doucette, how
ever, pulled his gun, and reaching
around the door he fired twice, miss
ing the first time, but the second shot
took effect. Chamberlain dropped to
the floor and Doucette disarmed him.
The wounded man was attended by
Malta physicians, and from last re-
ports he will recover.
