world may make the graver mistake
of undertaking it. Ships are scarce
and every week U-boat destructive
ness is making them scarcer, says the
Spokesman-R Review.
Following an exhaustive survey, Of
ficials of the federal shipping board
estimate that three years of unre-
strained U-boat operations would cost
the United States and her allies no
less than s5,625, OO0, 900 in lost ships
and cargoes.
If maintained at the present rate
the operations of the kaiser's under
sea craft would completely wipe out
Atlantic shipping in three years, ever
counting in the new construction.
According to the latest Authoritative
statistics the present total of trans
atlantic shipping is approximately TO-,
600 900 tons. The tonnage sunk eacf
year by submarine amounts to $500,
600. New construction totals 4,500,0O(
tons annually, or, at the present rate
13, 500, 900 tons in three years. Three
years of present rate destruction
would wipe out 22,5oo,ooo tons, figure

WEATHER REPORT

y The weather during the seven day
period ending Saturday, Sept. ~,
1917, was clear and dry and unusually
warm the last three days of the week,
and was favorable for all outdoor OPP
erations, and blowing and seeding for
winter grain made good progress.
This week takes us into the fall
of the year. The autumnal equinox
occurred On Sept. %. The shorten
ing of the length Of the day is quite
noticeable and the average daily TEN
peratures henceforth will show a
gradual decrease.
There was an average daily excess
in temperature for the week of 4.9
degrees as compared with the normal.
The mercury rose to 81 degrees on
Saturday, 22nd, and the lowest tenn
perature was AZ degrees on Wednes-
day, 10Th, making an absolute weekly
range in temperature of as degrees.
The highest temperature for this
week taken from 81 years of record
was 80 degrees on Sept. ~, U n
the lowest for the same period was
10 degrees on Sept. %, 1895.
There was no rainfall during the
week. There were six clear and one
partly cloudy day. The duration of
registered sunshine was 73.4 hours
out of 86.7 hours the sun was above
the horizon, making IS per cent OF
possible sunshine. The wind force
was gentle to moderate with prevail
ing directions from the northeast.
The weather forecast for the week
beginning Sunday, Sept. %, 1917, is

confronted with these alarming facts,
the government is at last becoming
aware of the paramount necessity of
increasing to the limit the protective
devices which heretofore have been
used only on the larger and more val
liable ships, and the enactment of
drastic legislation to compel ship
owners to employ such devices, wheth-
er they want to or not . Officials real

owners may prove fatal, and steps will

For seven months the allies and the
United States have been trying palia-
tives which somewhat diminish the ap-
palling losses, but do not 60 to the
seat of the evil. The danger is con
slant that German inventiveness will
offset all these palliative measures
and end in appalling victory for the
U-boats.
The Spokesman-Review reiterates
it's conviction that the United States
and the allies should proceed without
further procrastination with the work
of bottling up German submarines in
the North Sea. The southern end of
that sea is now effectively sealed, but
the north end is wide open. A line Of
nets, mines and patrols from the nor
thern tip of Scotland to the southern
: end of Norway would seal the North
Sea and make it impossible for sub
marines to pass out to prey upon At
lantic shipping.

A MONTANA POET

We are indebted to the Forsyth
Times-Journal for the following fne
poem which was sent to the editor
by Mr.. Charles Mitchell, a Forsyth
boy, now at the United States naval
training station. Whether it is mainly
the work of Mr.. Mitchell or the JOINT
contribution of a number Of boys at
the station, we do not know. NO mat
ter, the poem is good enough to q
distinction to one author or to a
dozen. Read the poem and judge Tor
yourself:
Flags Eternal.
The lilies of France have been broken"
Her roses are trampled and dead;
Her violets under the moses
Are drowned in a river of red;
Her woods have been felled in the
battles,
Her fields are all planted with graves,
And a desert of dark desolation
Extends where the ~tricolor waves.
But over the ocean Old Glory
Is speeding to save, and behold!
From the oak of it's flagstaff new
forests
Will spring on the roots of it's old.
From it's stripes the red roses Will
blossom,
From it's stars the white lilies will
blow,
From it's blue of the regions celestial
Violets will follow the snow.
Hail to the banners f%raternal,
Streaming unfadingly bright.
Splendor supreme of the morning,
Star spangled sheen of the night.
Flying unconquered together,
Colors eternally three,
Blue, white and red Of the tricolor
Red, white and blue of the free.

Mixture for Mash.

Chicks do we'll on a grain ration,
but they do great deal better when
once they are started on wet-mash
ration and are fed alternately two
feeds Of wet mash per day with three
feeds Of grain, the latter being given
morning, noon and night and the wet
mash being given about ten In the
morning and three In the afternoon.
For forcing growth and maturing

is far superior to the ordinary straight
