The c. E. Social at Oscar MAJ
berg's was a decided success. A
large crowd numbering fifty or more
was on hand at the church between
7 and s O'Clock on Saturday eve
ming; the rig committee scratched
their heads as they beheld the num-
Der and they didn't dare to count
them but trusted to luck that they
might be packed like sardines and
get there some way, and they did.
AS the last load neared their destin-
alton everybody joined in singing
to the tune Of Tiperary. Its long
wav to Oscar Malberg's
It's long way to go,
It's long way to Oscar Malberg's,
To the finest place we know,
Goodby River Falls, goodby normal
square,
It's long way to Oscar Malberg's,
But my hearts right there"
Yes, and Judging from the spirit
shown throughout the evening they
surely voiced the truth in the song.
Several of the neighbors showed
their good will by coming to the
party and they too, helped to make
merry, thereby deriving lot of fun
out of it themselves. When the last
DAD left, shortly before midnight,
they voiced their appreciation ofthe
Malberg hospitality by giving three
cheers for the Malbergs and as they
passed on down the lane hush,
in contrast to what was before, de-
scended on the home and the in
mates were permitted to go to their
well earned rest.

The Superintendent Of the Sunday
School presented the situation i n
Belgium at the opening exercises on
the morning of March 4th, and it was
decided; to take an offering for the
Belgian Children's Fund at the Sun
day School hour on the 18th. At the
close of the School the subject was
again presented by brothers Taggart
and Goble, and the offering was re-
ceived, amounting to $48.00; which
will provide for four Belgian chill
dren for one year. Previous to this
a sum had been sent by some mem
bers of the Sunday School to take
care of one child; hence we are now
caring for five Belgium children.
The Sunday School is interested in
this movement and we hope to raise
more tx. aid in this work.

CATTLE NOT KILLED
Stockmen Not Selling Beeves
for Slaughter, Local
Dealers Say.
CATTLE NOT KILLED

Are you a vegetarian? II not you'd
better make up your mind to abstain
from meat, because, according to local
butchers. the price of that food will
soon ascend to the high heavens, lit
orally, the sky will be the limit. Beef
| cattle are mighty scarce in Montana
and by May will be negligible guam
tity. while hogs and sheep are scarce
right now. Most of the local markets
| their trade for a month, but after that,
they will have to take chances on get
ting their round steaks and sirloins at
fabulous prices. The slump in the beef
market will last until the first of July
at least, and therefore meat will be
mighty scarce during the months of
April, May and June anyway.
Enough for Month.
John Daily, who controls much of
the local meat business, says that he
has enough beeves on hand to last him
for a month, but he don't know where
he will get his supply of meat after
that time. Hogs and sheep are also un-
usually scarce, he says, and there will
be big increase in the cost of nut :
ton, pork steak and pork chops during
the spring. Mr.. Daily says that there
are just as many cattle in Montana as
there has been during the last few
years, but there are few heads of
stock available for beef purposes. The
same scarcity OF beef prevails in the
east and on the Pacific coast, accord
ing to Mr.. Daily, while the European
war has affected the northwestern
market, as the large exorts of beef
stock from the British Columbia and
the western provinces of Canada have
ceased entirely. Mr.. Daily handles from
5000 to 5000 pounds of meat daily in
his Missoula business. which includes
several retail markets and large
wholesale business with smaller mar
kets. .a.
Mr.. Layfield of Layfield a. Henrik
sen. says that as far as his company
is concerned, the scarcity of stock will
have little effect, as he bought enough,
beeves last fall to last through until
he can buy grass-fed stock in the sum
mer. There has been a scarcity OF
hogs and sheep ever since the first OF
the year, Mr.. Layfield says. but he
doesn't think that the prices can in
crease much, as they have already
reached the limit.
| The proprietors OF the Central
Market were non -commttal in rega rd
to their future supply of meat. por,
and mutton, but said they had enough
to supply their customers for some
time without worrying about the sum
mer's supply.

OF course. Brother Farmer, you
know just about how much you get
from the sales of livestock last year.
That's easy. But do you know what
your net profit was? DO you know Just
how many dollars and cents your ami
mails pushed down their threats be-
fore they were fit for market:
That's the rub. Unless you keep &C.
counts on your farm as your brother
business man, the city merchant, does
you cannot know whether or not you
made money on your livestock last
year.
How much in other words. are you
getting for such feed as that you gave
your livestock last year? That qucs-
tion and the previous one are ques-
and have answers for. If the truth
were told. oftentimes the farmer who
figures those things out finds that
he is really getting low reiurns from
his livestock; finds in other words,
that his feed is worth almost more
than the. meat 1t makes.
The farm record of one farmer l
know showed that he was getting only
SIS for every 800 worth Of feed given
to his livestock. He was actually los
ing "a per cent on his stock. This man
at once began to weed out his UNI
profitable cows and his poor live
stock, feeding only the most profitable
and at the end Of the next year his
records showed him that he got $176
for every 800 worth of feed given out.
The morals plain.
