ed Ground.

In the Missoula county exhibit at the
Montana State fair this year there will
be more dry land displays than OF irri-
gated products. Last evening Secre-
tary D. d. Richards e the chamber
of commerce sent the first batch of
entry blanks to the office # the secre-
tary of the state fair. In this bunch
were entries made by IS Different ex-
hibitnrs. all residents OF Missoula
county.
Of the total of IS exhibitor II had
grown their crops on dry LAND The
remaining 3. We're farmers on irri-
gated land. This is considered an
unusual and unexpected showing this
year because of the drought. The ex-
hibits gathered for the fair have been
selected from the best crops in the
county and the result would indicate
that the dry landers". have been far
more successful than was believed
month ago. Some of the dry-land ex-
hibits are equal If not better than dry
land exhibits of former years.
Among the dry-land exhibits at the
state fair in the Missoula county booth
will be tomatoes, muskmelons and
watermelons. All of these were grown
about six miles southwest of Missoula
on the west side Of the Bitter Root
river.

High Students.

An increase Of 10 per cent has been
made in the number of students regis

girls the freshman class claims l.5.
In addition to the customary COM
motion caused by organizing classes
and rlacing new pupils, there has been
this week the added stir Of giving out
free textbooks in accordance with the
state law passed last year. 1t requires
more than 5000 volumes to supply the
demand of all pupils. Each pupil is
required to make a deposit of 81.

turns in good condition the textbooks
he has taken to use. In most cases.
Principal Ketcham says. the pupils
will leave the dollar upon deposit
throughout four years. receiving the
refund upon graduation. Miss Skunk.

finds one room none too large for the

first time in the history of the high

Oil Prosperity

The oil world is witnessing unprece-
dented activity, development and ex-
pansion. Great companies are growing
greater as active researches open rich
new pools, and deeper drilling in
Texas and Oklahoma prove the exist
ence of more productive sands at lower
depths. The government is cooperst-
ing in stimulating a larger output by re-
leasing some of the Federal reserves,
and also by the recent leasing of more
Of the Usage lands. The drill will be
started on the latter as soon as the
leases are approved. and it is expected
that new pools will be discovered. Co
incidentally, an official warning has
been issued that manufacturers Of
gasolene must need increase the out
put Of the country's refneries # the

year for the United States and the AL
lies are TO be attained. The reiineries
are capable of this great effort. but
the solution. IL is pointed out officially,
lies in the greater production Of crude
oil. Surely a great and prosperous fut-
urc for oil producers is herslded by
this ultimatum.-OI Chv Derrick.

The pooling of railroad facilities
comes as war emergency measure.
1t is directly opposed to the anti
trust acts of the government and
the several states and the general
trend of railway legislation in the
past thirty years. Nevertheless, it
is evident there is not much pros
pect that the old order of things
will ever be restored. Wasteful
competition in railroad service will
soon be a thing of the past, and it
is probable that we shall soon have
complete unification of the coun-
try's transportation system. That
is important in war, but it will be
equally important when peace
comes, for naturalization of the
railroads will bring about far-reach-
ing changes in the whole industrial
structure. The nation will benefit
enormously from the improvement
in freight service and the economies
possible under complete coordina-
ton, but the indirect profits will be
quite as important. One railroad
man has expressed the opinion that
the naturalization of the carriers
will do more to prevent industrial
crises than the formation of the
Federal Reserve banking system.
That, no doubt, is an exaggeration,
and yet there is much to be said in
support of his view. Suppose, for
instance, that all railroad supplies
were bought on an even scale, al
lowing for normal growth. Under
normal conditions the railroads are
the largest customers Of the steel
producers, and it commonly happens
that they pare their orders down to
the bone IN times of depression
and buy eagerly when business is
booming, thus not only increasing
greatly the cost of their equipment,
but accentuating both depression
and prosperity. Railroads buying
thus exercise controlling in.
fuence on the fortunes Of the
steel trade and in turn upon the
whole business fabric. Conse-
quently stabilized buying of rail
road supplies would do more to
stabilize industry than any other
single thing. And that is only one

Asks Ruling on
War Stamp Tax
Hardship if Applied to Short
Loans, Says Reserve Bank
Official

The war stamp tax, which becomes
effective December !, will work hard
shin on the loan operations OF the
local Federal Reserve Bank unless
special ruling is obtained from the In
ternai Revenue Department relieving
certain transactions from the burdens
of the tax.
James F. Curtis, general counsel OF
the bank, has asked Washington
whether the tax should apply to the
day-to- day loans made to member
banks. These are based on the prom
issory notes of the borrowing institu-
tions, and under a strict Interpretation
of the war revenue act are subject 10
a tax of 9 cents for each SlOO bor-
rowed. Under the provisions Of the
law the banks might have to pay at
the rate of 10 per cent for money bor-
rowed at the Reserve Bank for periods
of less than fifteen days. as 1t has
been figured that in addition to the
regular discount rate Of 3 per cent
the cost would run up to 6 or Z per
cent more.

Brazilian Coffee
Dealers Dismayed
Over Record Crop
Market Limited to Narrowest
Purchasing Capacity by
War Conditions

Brazil in all likelihood will harvest
a coffee crop this year so plentiful as
to exceed any former calculations, &C
cording to forecasts from that country.
As the crop will have to be thrown on
a market limited to its narrowest pur-
chasing capacity by war conditions, the
Brazilian coffee men, it is reported. do
not look forward to record breaking
WELD with any feeling of optimism.
Alfred L. Moreau Gottschalk, Ameri-
can Consul General at Rio de Janlero,
writes:
at is expected that the State Of Rio
de Janeiro alone, which ought normally
to average 2,750,000 bags, will. accord
ing to present receipts, send in total
of 100000 to 100000 bags for the
year. The State of Espirito Santo,
which has always kept near the 7oO,0OO
mark, will, local coffee experts say, cas-
ily reach the 100000 bag total. AS
for the State of Sac Paulo, 12,OOO,oOO
bags seem TO be expected OF 1t. accord
ing 20 present indications.
at is quite natural that prognosti-
cation such as this should create GER
tain amount of dismay among trad
ers. who realize how unfavorabie is
the present outlook for disposing OF
even a normal crop under existing lin
itations of supplies to neutral nations,
and the inaccessibility by freight not
only of the Central empires. which
were always heavy customers. but also
of former consumers, such as Russia,
Greece and the Bankans. 1t is hardly
TO be believed that increased con,
sumption of the marching armies OF
the Alias and United States can com
pensate for all these diminutions IN
the worlds demand.
fortunately for the trade, the keep
ing qualities of coffee are good, the
bean suffering no deterioration from
storage under proper conditions. The
general belief here is that there will
he considerable boarding of cotee
stocks in the United States against
the close of the present war; and that
