SECOND BATTALION is
NOW ON PATROL DUTY
Sent to Different Parts of State to
Guard Railway Bridges and
Tunnels.

Helena. - Orders received from the
war department sent the four COM
panies of the Second Montana, mob
ilized here recently, into guard service
along the railroads of the state. The
four companies comprising the First
battalion brought here, were under
way at once, and moved to their head
quarters in Butte, Missoula, Bozeman
and Helena.
Their duties for the present, at
least, will be to watch the railroad
bridges and tunnels, while another
battalion of four companies will be
modified at Fort Harrison, awaiting
orders to move out. 1t is possible
that the entire regiment will be
moved outside the state as soon as
all companies are equipped.
The Helena machine gun company,
for the present, will be held at the
camp at Fort Harrison.
The Second battalion is now mobi-
LIKING here.

MAN MAKES BIG MONEY
IN FEW DAYS ON SHEEP
Buys and Sells Great Flock o. Mon
tana Sheep and Also Handles
the Wool.

Billings. - AS an evidence of the
great activity in the sheep and wool
markets in this vicinity, an example
may be appreciably quoted. A Bill
ings commission man several months
ago bought what is known as the A.
Beardslee sheep, wintered at Harlem,
Fort Benton, Spionkop and Dutton.
There are about 1880 head in the
four bands, and the Billings man
bought them at around $40.
David A. Taylor of Burley, Idaho,
visited the city and negotiated their
purchase at SLIPS a head, giving the
local man profit of little more than
$4,000. The purchaser of the sheep
gave the Billings man an option on
the wool, which is estimated at 10000
pounds, at 421s cents a pound. This
was five-day option.
When Mr.. Taylor reached Butte, en-
route home, he was caught on the
long distance telephone and the terms
of the option exercised. In the mean
time the Billings man had sold the
wool at As cents a pound, or a profit
of $1,000 on the wool, making a total
gain on the transaction of about $751;
300.
This same man has cleared more
than $4,000 since Jan. 1 and all
through the handling of sheep, lambs
and wool.

MONTANA MAY DOUBLE
ITS YIELD OF WHEAT
No Labor Shortage Exists Now But
1t May Come at Harvest Time
in Fall.

Helena. - Montana will plant from
SO to rs per cent more wheat this
year than last, and it is estimated that
the state will produce approximately
100000 bushels of wheat, as COM
pared with 28,000,00O in 1916.
From the big wheat sections on the
high line of the Great Northern rail-
road, in the Judith basin and in the
inland empire about Billings, most
encouraging crop reports are coming
in. There is no labor shortage for
seeding, but it is realized that there
may be before the fall harvest.
Movements that have been inaugu-
rated by the state superintendent of
public schools and by various city
societies assure backyard gardens
everywhere.
The department of agriculture here
says that the acreage broken to
wheat in Montana this year will be
limited only by the capacity of trac-
tors, which are now working twenty
four hours daily in three shifts. and
seven days a week.

How many times we hear Of compara-
lively young persons passing away when
they should have lived to be 20 or 80 years
of age. This fatal work is usually attri-
buted to the kidneys, as, when the kidneys
degenerate, it causes auto-intoxication.
The more injurious the poisons passing
thru the kidneys the quicker will those
noble organs be degenerated, and the
sooner they decay.
1t is thus the wisest policy, to prevent
premature old age and promote long life,
to tighten the work of the kidneys. This
can be done by drinking plenty of pure
water all day long, and occasionally taxi
ing a little Anuric before meals. This
can be obtained at almost any drug store.
You will find Anuric more potent than
Iithia for it dissolves uric acid as water
does sugar.

Red Lodge. - Aliens who maintain
that the policy of ruthless submarine
warfare, inaugurated by the German
government, is justified, have no
chance of being naturalized in the

Spencer. In the course of questioning
by the Judge, D. J. Thormahlen de-
clared his belief in the justification
of the Teuton submarine policy and
said Americans have no right to travel
on ships entering the prescribed war
area.
The judge denied Thormahlen's ap-

prejudice" which has the effect of
cancelling all the previous acts by the
court toward the mans citizenship.
