THOUSANDS ARE SIGNING
LOYALTY PLEDGE IN EAST

A movement was begun in New
York City two weeks ago to show
that the large majority of Americans
are in favor of the firm action being
taken by the government. A ''loyal-
ty pledge" was prepared and circulat-
ed by the tens of thousands, and
every day brought from $4,000 to
100000 signatures. The pledge was
POSTED in hotels, clubs, stores, tele-
graph offices and churches, besides
being mailed out to thousands of per-
sons singly. Many inquiries COM
menced at once to come in asking If
certain individuals who were consid-
cred by the inquirers to be disloyal
to the country or at least favoring
Germany, had signed the pledge,
which brings to mind the methods of
the French revolutionists. The pledge
idea started partly because certain
mass meeting was held in New York
recently to protest" against any
firm action by this country. AS
movement it is like to sweep the
country. Sample blanks are already
being asked for by patriots in other
parts of the country.

THE HAY FAMINE

Hay Is selling in western states
at lnheard-of prices, and stock is
starving. In the past three weeks
the price of hay has advanced from
SIS ton to $35 or $40 in the Black
foot country. Down at Bull, Idaho,
A. H. Nihart shipped a ton of hay
by mail to his brother at Garland,
Utah, making the delivered cost at
Garland $46.50 a ton. 1t was put
up in 5O-pound bales and went for
ward by parcels post, making quick
time.
N. J. Thorstenberg of the Black
foot Real Estate & Auction company
went east last week looking for hay
and special rates of transportation
but found a rising market, car
shortage and dealers receiving
orders by telegraph from all over
the west. The freight rate from Ida
no to the Missouri river is about So
ton, while the rate from the Mis-
souri, river to Idaho points Is 81
higher. Application was made for
the same rate west as for east-bound
shipments, and that has been granted
tho it will not go into effect till the
first of April. Under present condi-
tions it will be possible to deliver
a limited amount of hay in Idaho at
$25 to $50 ton. Mr.. Thorstenberg
canvassed the situation quickly when
he reached Nebraska and began buy
ing hay wherever he could get it
and in any quantities he could get.
He has special train of 80 cars on
the way and it is possible to get
it here by Sunday, April 1.
The Blackfoot Auction company
informs us that Mr.. Thorstenberg is
making hard fight for hay, cars
and rates, and that they are handling
it to save the public from loss rather
than for profit. Frank Bergman is
acting for stockmen at the Standrod
bank and has accepted the money for
upwards of Is carloads for men who
wanted it in carloads. The Black
foot Auction company will have eight
or ten cars for retail trade and it
is their intention to distribute it
among as many people as possible to
relieve want.

RUSSIANS EXILES WILL RE-
TURN TO FATHERLAND

One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the overturn of Russian bu-
reaucracy is the freedom it gives
many banished Russians to go back
home and feel safe. No doubt among
them are more than one strong force
to help things go republican, for
these people who were dangerous to
the powers that were will now find
their friends on high seats.
Nine. Catherine Breshkovskaya,
known as 1.-The grandmother of the
Russian revolution" has been invit-
ed by M. Kerenski, minister of JUS
tice in the new cabinet, to return to
Petrograd. She has spent 80 years
in exile, and most of that time in
prison.
Another exile expecting to go
home again is M. Zuraboff, the eau
casus leader who was one of the
members of the second duma, and
got himself condemned to Siberia for
alleged conspiracy in organizing the
revolt of troops which led to the
dissolution of that body.

When United States marines, com manded by Colonel Charles A. Doyen, departed for France from an Atlantic seaport the only. ceremony attending the leavetaking was a brief speech by Major General George Barnett, com mandant of the marine corps, to the field and company officers. No col ors were unfurled. No reporters or press photographers were present. No drums or bugles sounded.
 The company officers of the bat talion stepped out in front of Major General Barnett and saluted. For half minute the corps commandant addressed them. He spoke in an ev- eryday conversational tone which could be heard a dozen yards away and his message was simply that he trusted that the marines who were setting out that day to fight under General Pershing would stanchly up hold the high traditions of the corps
