DICTATORSHIP FOR
GERMANY PROPOSED

Copenhagen Oct. 1.-THE Berlin
correspondent of the Fremdenblatt,
of Hamburg, discerns indications that
forces actually are at work in the en-
tourage of Chancellor Michaelis, with
the thought of a military dictator
ship, or at least with the idea of hav-
ing the chancellor continue in office
in defiance of the reichstag, support
ing himself by military backing.
Conservative and socialist papers
in Germany have been engaged in a
controversy for some time on the
subject of a dictatorship, but hither-
to it had not seemed to be of such a
nature that it should be taken SER
iously.

Why Colds are Dangerous.

1t is not only the serious diseases
that so often start with cold that
makes a cold the most dangerous of
the minor ailments, but the fact that
when child has cold he is much
more likely to contract germ diseases
such as scarlet fever and diphtheria.
For this reason every cold should be
gotten rid of as quickly as possible.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
gained a wide reputation for its quick
cures of bad colds. You will look a
long time before you find better
preparation for that disease.

THE SUBMARINE MENACE IS
BEING CURED

Some time ago Washington dispatches
said the navy was getting the better of the
German submarine menace
A recent piece OF news not only confirms
this, but gives ground for optimism On the
part of every American who wants to see
his country win the war.
There is no use burking the facts: the
submarine menace was serious, and fur
nished cause for perturbed thought by the
governmental heads of America. England.

MEN NEEDED TO OFFICER SHIPS

In several Atlantic ports cargo ships are
riding at anchor-desperately needed ton
mage is lying idle-because men are not
available to officer the vessels. Until we
entered the war, few Americans were en-
p1oyed in the merchant marine. When the
demand came for officers We could not sup
ply it. The shipping board opened a num-
Der of navigation schools to give men with
previous experience in seamansh1p the
training necessary to qualify for officers
bi1ets Enrolment has been heavy, but it
hasn't begun to fill the need. AS the size
of army across the sea increases and the
need for supplies grows greater, there is
more urgent demand for men to handle
ships.
The pay is big and the opportunity for
advancement is great, but sufficient men
have not volunteered for the service.
Though this is no reflection on our sea-far
ing citizenry-if all the qualified men
should enter the schools, there would not
be enough to fill the requirement. But it
does impress the fact that every man who
can officer a ship should take the course
Of instruction.
There are many men in West Florida
who would make excellent officers, and few
from this section have enrolled Several
have expressed their willingness to do so,
but feel that they cannot bear the expense
incidental to the course at Mobile, where
the nearest school is located
There seems good possibility, however,
of securing school or a branch school at
Pensacola. When w. H. Reynalds, the
man who instrumental in locating a
school at Mobile, visited here few DAYS
ago he urged that the men of West Flor
ida who have maritime experience be asked
to come to the aid of the government He
says that if the men are willing to attend
the school and cannot go to Mobile, he will
work to have a school organized here be-
cause he realizes that the important thing
is to train the men, regardless of where the
training is given.
If the sailors of West Florida are sim
cere, as they no doubt are, in their desire
to qualify officers in the merchant ma
rlne, this is the time to signify their will
lngnesS to serve.
If sufficient number will promise to en-
roll it is very probable that course of in
struct1on will be available here Should
that plan not prove feasible, some of them
could very probably arrange to attend the
nearest school. No branch of government
service pays better wages none promises
more IN the way of promotion and in no
other way can the men give such valuable
service in the winning of the war
Let West Florida again prove that it is
Solidly behind the government and let our
seamen show eagerness to assist in carry
ing needed supplies to our armies and to
Our allies.

HITTING AT GERMANY'S
FOOD SUPPLY SOURCES.

Washington, Oct. 17.-Neutral ma
tions must prepare to share in an
even greater deprivation as result
of the decision of the recent allied
conference in London. Details of
the conference reaching here show
the allies are determined to support
the armies in the field by cutting off
all supplies for the German army
from neutral sources, through a
Tightening of the blockade, and COM
polling neutrals to furnish them with
goods of their own production which
they are not able to consume.

GERMANY'S WANING POWER.

Those who still doubt that it is going
to be the high privilege and fortune of
American armies to ssist in the final
smashing of the kaiser have but to study
what has been going on along the British
front since August /. The Prussian mill
tary machine is still formidable, but the as
cendancy has definitely passed to the allies.
Colonel f. d. Swinton, inventor of the
British tanks and one of the big men in the
British war cabinet, which directs British
army movements, recently said, that in the
early part of the war the French and the
British virtually fought the Prussians with
bare fists and bayonets. He meant the
Germans had tremendous superiority in
guns and ammunition.
Slowly the allies increased their manu-
features until they finally exceeded the
Germans.
The results tell the story. Since August
1 the British have tken over $4,000 Ger
1905
British captures of Germn artillery
demonstrate that when the British de-
tern1ined upon an offensive they were able
to push it home They got back into the
enemy territory where the artillery was
planted. On the contrary, the fact that Ger
mans captured no English guns shows even
where they made counter-attacks they were
unable to push the through the first line
trenches.
This fact is more highly significant than
any one or two victories in battle Our al
lies constant success is bound to have
tremendous effect upon the morale of the
contending forces Tommy goes into bat
tie sure of the outcome. Fritz goes in feel
ing that he is beaten before he starts He
is different kind of German from the one
who fought in the first two years of the
war.
And that is where American may be exe
pected to come in strong next spring and
summer. We will put into the trenches the
cream of all the forces in tn field This is
not reflection upon the gallant British and
French, but they have borne the shock of
battle for years. America is the last land
that has great reservoir of fresh youth
This young energy. enthusiasm and will
to conquer IS bound to tell. 1t will inspire
and hearten our allies. It will unnerve the
Germans and make them still further doubt
the use of going on and on when they know
there IS no chance to win.

GERMAN GUILTY.:
HUNT ON BENCH

A former Montana jurist. Judge
w. H. Hunt, who formerly presided
over the district court of Chouteau
county, was on the bench of the
United States district court at San
Francisco during the recent trial
which ended in the conviction of
Franz Bopp, German consul general
at the Golden Gate, of violating the
neutrality of the United States. Bopp
and five German attaches of the con-
sulate were convicted OF having
planned to blow up munition plants
in the United States and Canada,
steamships carrying supplies to the
allies, railroads, bridges and mail
trains. They were also accused Of
conspiring to set on foot and pro-
vide and prepare means for mill
tary enterprise to be carried on from
within the United States against
British territory.
Bopp announced that he and the
four other Germans would file an
appeal from the verdict of guilty
found against them, and accused
Judge Hunt of making an unduly
long and unusual charge to the
jury, Directing also tc his instruc-
lions as to facts.
An interesting feature of the trial
was the fact that the case against
Bopp and his co-defendants was pro-
secuted by woman, Mrs. Annette
Adams, who is assistant United
States attorney and is recognized as
an extremely able lawyer. District
Attorney Preston became ill before
the preparation of the case was we'll
under way, and it devolved upon
Mrs. Adams to complete the prepara-
ton of, and conduct, the case in
court. The strength of the govern
ment's case, Preston said, was due
largely to Mrs. Adams skillful pre-
sentation. In her opening statement
for the government she made a most
forceful and scathing attack upon
Bopp and his activities.
Bopp and his associates are sub
ject to a maximum penalty of three
years imprisonment and SIS, 900 fine
each.
Judge Hunt was recognized during
his residence at Fort Benton as an
able jurist and man of unusual
mentality. After leaving Montana
he was appointed governor of Porto
Rico and was subsequently appointed
one of the judges of the federal COM
merce court, which was later abol-
ished. For several years he has been
judge of the federal district court.

ORCHARDS RUINED
BY TINY SPIDERS
PEAR LEAF BLISTER MITE
CAUSES MUCH DAMAGE in
PARTS OF MONTANA
Pest Can Be Prevented From Spread
ing, Especially to Fruit, by Soluble
Sulphur Spray or Lime-Sulphur
Wash; But Best Plan Is to Kill In
sect at Start by Spraying.

The pear leaf blister mite is a very
common pests and does considerable
damage in some sections of Montana.
1t is a very small light-colored spider
with an elongated body that works
both upon pears and apples. When
working on pears, it causes the
leaves to blacken in spots. These
blackened areas represent gals or
swellings of the leaf tissue in the
center of which the mite resides.
When first forming, these gals are
blister-like and reddish in color
When the mite affects apples. the
gals are brown in color
During the summer time the mites
live entirely in the blisters, produce
appearance of cold weather they mi
CRATE to the bark of the tree, hiding
themselves in rough bark around
buds and twigs. The general APP
pearance of an orchard we'll infested
with the leaf mite is that it hasn't
had it's full growth of foliage and
presents NellOWlSh instead OF a
healthy green color When the in
festation is heavy, trees are some
times partially or wholly defoliated
After the mites have entered the
leaf tissue, there is no way yet
known by which they can be eXter-
minated but they can be prevented
from spreading, especially to the
fruit, by soluble sulphur spray OF
lime-sulphur wash. But the best
plan is to kill them before they gel
to the point when they are protected
from sprays. This is done by cpray
ing with lime-sulphur in the sprins
just as the buds begin to break an(
show the tips Of the young leaves
when the mites are coming out from
under the bud scales, and are no
yet under cover.

GREAT AS TOTAL
1916 SALES.
AUTO Pulls Already Sold This Year
Nearly Twice Number Disposed OF
Last Year in Montana and Idaho;
C. A. Hunts Brother Gets Agency
for North and South Dakota.

Already this year. G. A. Hunt, who
has the Montana and Idaho agency
for the Auto Pull, the attachment
that enables a farmer to convert MS
Ford at any time into tractor, has
sold nearly twice as many OF the ma
chimes as during the whole of last
year. A few days ago Hunt sent 10
the company's factory at Glencoe
Minnesota, an order for 100 carloads
of 80 machines each, or total OF
5000 of the tractors.
OF this one order, IA carloads al
ready have been placed. *. n. HUNT
of Fort Benton, to whom contr~ct
has been awarded for the subagency
embracing Chouteau and Hill coun-
tes, has placed an order with 9. A.
Hunt for two carloads, or 90 ma
chimes, while Isad re Weber OF Rob-
erts, Idaho, who has the subagency
for the Idaho territory adjoining
southern Montana and Yellowstone
park, has also asked for so machines.
A call for five carloads has come
from Teton county. In addition to
these three subagency orders, total
ing nine carloads, G. A. Hunt also re-
ceived orders direct from farmers
and from minor agencies totallng Ten
carloads. This makes a total of $40
machines already ordered for 1917,
as against 800 tractors sold altogeth-
er in Montana and Idaho, principally
in the former state, in 1916.
Montana was the first field invad-
ed by the promoters OF the invention
who were attracted to the Treasure
state by the reports that have spreac
through the country Of it's wonderful
crop yields and unexampled prosper
ity. Consequently the sales in Mon
tana have far outstripped those l1
any other state. The area over which
the Auto Pull has been sold is fas
increasing, however, and recently thu
agency for North and South Dakota
was awarded to George A. Hunt, ;
brother of G. A. Hunt. The latte
has received inquiries from Oregon
although no agency has been estab
lished yet in that state, and few
days ago farmer at Madras, Oregon
sent in an order for a machine.

(By II. G. Iinebarger.)

The annual beet cutting and refin-
ing season of the Billings sugar plant
is fast drawing to a close after the
most successful season in it's history.
The product from about 10000 acres
of beets was cut this year at the re-
finery, the saccharine matter turned
into the purest white sugar and the
white pulp sent to the feeding yards
for the fattening of cattle, being used
in conjunction with alfalfa and sugar
syrup.
This only represents a portion of
the sugar product of the Billings dis
trict for factories at Sheridan, Wyo.,
and Lowell, Wyo., have handled the
product of some 10000 or 10000
acres formerly handled by the Bill
ings plant, thus making the acreage
this year record breaker for total
amount devoted to the culture of sug-
ar beets.
Plant for Western Montana.
Another feature Of the campaign
this year was the handling of the
product of several thousand acres
from various parts of Montana, espe-
cially northern and western Montana,
where experiments have been con-
Quoted to determine the practicable
ity of erecting plants in those sec
lions. AS a result western Montana
is to get a plant, and work on 1t has
been started already at Missoula. 1t
will be the same size as the Billings
|,>1o r.
ern machinery. While figures have
not been compiled it is believed as q
result of early tests that the average
price this season will be between
$3.50 and $500, while the average
yield per acre, it IS believed, viii
bring the average price paid to thu
farmers for an acre Of beets above
the $50 mark.
Considering that the harvest sea
son this season was especially dam
and cold and very unfayorable, tn
results are considered very remark
able. This excellent yield, it is be
lieved. is partially due to the face tina
all of the seed planted last sprin
