Giants were then playing brought Glib
son back to the box scores. Gibson WAS
turned out Of the Pirate fold almost a
year ago by Jimmy Callahan. Under
the rules Of baseball he was entitled to
an unconditional release. but McGraw
refused to waive ad Gibson was sent to
New York. For a time he refused to
report. but differences were patched up
last spring.
Gibson is 81 years old now-an old
man as baseball players are rated. He
began playing baseball in 1908 with the
Kingston club of the famous old Tiud-
son River league-an organization that
took in towns along the river. and
where the players were supposed to
make the jumps as best they could.
Then Gibson got into the old Eastern
league. now the International league.
and did service with Buffalo. He played
only twelve games and amassed q bat
ting average of .2S7. He was dropped
by Buffalo. however. and Montreal took
him on. He took part in eighty games
in 1904. and batted .204. Two years was
his limit in Montreal and then he was
purchased by Pittsburgh, where he stay
ed until last summer.
Gibson was a regular almost to the
last day of his engagement with the
Pirates. One year he caught $50 games,
and that was the Pirates big year OF
1909, when they defeated Detroit in the
worlds series.

FEED LEGUMES
AND LESS GRAIN

"Economize on grain" is the slogan
of the country. That means less
grain for live stock. National neces-
sity demands that human beings be
fed first. and milk production there
fore must be maintained, or necessary
food will not be available. Substi-
tutes. then must be used as far as
possible in place of grain for dairy
cows. Glover, alfalfa, cowpeas, soy
bean, or other legume hay, when fed
with good silage, will maintain a
medium milk production at a relat-
lively low cost
At the Illinois experiment station
the milk flow was slightly increased
when 8 pounds of alfalfa hay was
substituted for an equal weight of
concentrates. The Alabama station
increased the net profits by substitu-
ting cowpea hay for wheat bran.
When an 11-pound grain ration and
S pounds of mixed hay were dis
placed by an equal weight of clover
hay, at the New Jersey station. the
milk flow fell from 23.S to 2O.1
pounds, but the net profits were in
creased. In these trials the cows
were also fed first class corn silage.
Under ordinary farm conditions 1t is
not to be expected that legume hay
can take the place of the entire grain
ration, but If it is substituted in part.
large quantities of grain will be re-
leased for human food.
The first step in bringing this con-
dition about must be the planting Of
more legumes, and the soner this Is
done the better it will be for the in
dividual dairyman as well as for his
state and the nation. Every dairy
farm should produce at least one ton
place. 1t is none too early to make
plans for fall planting, so that next
year our milk supply may be main
tanned by furnishing our dairy cattle.
in addition to liberal allowance of
silage, an abundance of legume hay.
If you do not know what legumes
are best adapted to your locality. or
how to grow them, apply Immediately
to your agricultural college or to the
United States department of agricul-
ture.

TINE To DEAL
WITH OFFENDERS

The labor agitators in Montana and
Idaho seem to care not what happens
to the nation so long as they can tie
up industry and create trouble. It
is hard to understand how handful
of lawless leaders can create so much
discord and strife among thousands Of
ordinarily satisfied workmen.
If man reasons at all he must
see that following such leaders can
have but one ending. It's the same
as following any leader who advo-
Gates violence and destruction, the
end comes quickly. for the balance
of society when finally aroused will
not tolerate the depredations. 1t is
absolutely necessary that Montana
and Idaho farms and mines be worked
to the very highest state of efficiency
and labor troubles which interfere
with their operation must be ad-
justed.
Probably in no other place in the
world do miners and farm hands re-
ceive as high wages as in this sec
i tion, and yet the agitators are not
satisfied but try to stir up trouble
among the workmen. The interests
of the public are now at stake and
the time has arrived when such Of
Tenders should be dealt with.

than are built to prevent America
from participating extensively in the
war. The submarine program is MAX
ing more rapid progress than the ship
building program For this reason
the government is putting the build
ing of ships as the primary patriotic
duty of the people of the nation, and
urging every person who can aid in
the work to take it up with as much
! reverence and as much sense of duty
as if they were enlistng in the army.
Americas food, munitions, arms and
men cannot reach Europe without an
adequate supply of ships. Best au-
thorities declare these should be
built of steel and wood as rapidly as
the forces of the country can be
marshalled for the work.
In the emergency every man who
has any mechanical or artisan skill
whatever is being adapted to some
part of ship construction, wherever
he desires to work. 1t has been nee
essary to teach labor to do classes
of work it has never undertaken be-
fore. All the facilities for such in
struction are being provided by the
ship yards, the government and state.
and men are having an opportunity to
take up lines of employment never
before presented at the best wages
that have been known in the Pacific
Northwest and perhaps the country.

MRS. BEN HARDING
CALLED BY DEATH

Mrs. c. B. Harding of Horte. died
at the home of her parents. Mr.. and
Mrs. Tom Shaughnessy. at DeSmet.
at 1890 last Saturday night after an
illness of several months. Death was
caused by acute Bright's disease and
the disease which attacked her so
suddenly was quick in its action and
the best of medical skill could not
save her life. About three weeks
ago Mrs. Harding was taken to the
hospital at Missoula for treatment
and later she was moved to the home
of her parents at DeSmet, where her
death occurred.
Besides her husband she leaves
three daughters, Alice. 12 years old,
Bernice, two years old and Eleanor,
age three months, her father and
mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Shaugh-
messy of DeSmet, three sisters, Alice,
Of DeSmet, Della of Anaconda, and
Mrs. Teresa Duffy of Butte, and two
brothers, Michael of Anaconda and
Thomas of DeSmet.
Funeral services were held in Mis-
soula and interment took place in
the cemetery at that place Tuesday.
Friends and relatives from Butte,
Anaconda, Missoula and many from
this vicinity were present at the SER
vices.
Mrs. Harding's maiden name was
Nellie Shaughnessy and she was
married to G. B. Harding on the 5th
day of May, fourteen years ago in
Anaconda. They made their home
in Butte and Anaconda until 1910
when they moved to the Flathead at
the time of the opening of the reser-
walton. During their residence here
Mrs. Harding has made many close
friends and the entire community
will grieve with Mr.. Harding in the
loss OF his wife and the little girls
in the loss of their mother.

WILL BUILD HOTEL

Col. A. A. White, who has gained
much prominence as townsite pro-
motor and much publicity through
advertising the Flathead as a summer
resort. has organized the Flathead
Lake Hotel Co., with headquarters
in Helena, and announces that they
will build a palatial summer hotel
on one of tho villa sites on Fathead
lake. In addition to the large hotel,
they contemplate the construction OF
two boats Of large dimensions and
fine furnishings which will run day
and night across Flathead lake be-
tween the railroad terminals at
either end of the lake.
Col. White is now "A years old and
says he expects to live 25 years
longer to see the Flathead the most
popular and widely known summer
resort in the West.

SHIP BUILDING
CALLS FOR LABOR

The Secretary of the State Editor
ial Association of Portland, Oregon.
informs us that Oregon's efforts to
do her part in the building of steel
and wooden ships for the war is SER
ously crippled through lack of labor.
Latest authentic information gath
cred points to the necessity Of en-
ploying at once nearly 10000 men in
the shipbuilding business at Port
land, and between two and three
thousand in the yards outside.
With contracts already let and GER
tain to be placed in the near future,
it is stated by the shipbuilders that
from 10000 to $4,000 men should be
employed by the close of the year
or early next year. The work is on
hand to give this employment and
the demand for ships is growing
greater every day.
The development of an industry of
this magnitude so suddenly has re-
suited in drawing practically all OF
the available men within immediate
reach. and already the ship builders
OF the state are urging laborers from
all parts of the west to take positions
in their plants.
Appeals are coming from national
officials and all the leading business
men OF the east for all seaboard
states to concentrate their supreme
energies upon the program of build
ing ships This is declared to be the
greatest duty confronting the nation
today and on every hand it is admit
ted freely, despite the optimistic
statements made OF the position oi
the allied forces. that unless ships
are built by America at a pace abso
lutely beyond the present program
the effectiveness Of the United States
in the European war will be largely
reduced. Germany Is counting i'm
plicitly upon destroying more ships

Next Sunday. August 19. the Roman
bail team will meet the league team
from Missoula on the Roman Grounds.
The cass of ball played by Roman
this year has attracted much atten-

game. This will be the first game
Roman has ever played with league
team. but their record entities them
to play with the best teams and it
is a source of satisfaction that Mis-
sonia is anxious for the game.
Zamlock and Schlossberg will be
the battery for Missoula and with
the record held by Zamloch it will
take some good hitting to score on
this famous twirler.
Breshear and Turnquist will be the
battery for Roman, and there is every
reason to believe that they will be
more than a match for the Missoula

ROAD PIRATES

Commenting on the automobile ac-
cident which occurred near He'll
Roaring creek a week ago Sunday,
the Kalispell Journal has the follow
ing to say: ~
There are plenty of road outlaws
and pirates to be found at large ON
Sunday. We will stake a bet that
the car that caused the accident was
Ford, and that the driver was the
owner of a peanut stand somewhere.
The drivers of Fords are the hoggiest
of road pests. They drive faster and
make more noise and kick up more
of dust than any other vehicle on
the road. They drive past at tre-
mendous pace and make so much dust
that the other driver has to stop his
car until it clears away, for his own
as well as the other pedestrians
safety, who might be coming along a
little behind the jitney. The jitney
driver does not know what DINNERS
are at night and probably would not
use them if he had them. The man
with the little one-lunged car and
the pin-head is the most dangerous
obstacle on the road, to tourists"
You are right, there are plenty of
road hogs at large on Sundays.
And they are not all drivers of Fords.
either. You would lose your bet, for
it was not Ford that caused the ac-
cident; it was Chevrolet and was
driven by a party residing in the city
of Kalispell. The writer was a pas
senger in a Ford coming south and
met it on a narrow grade and we had
to back up nearly half mile in or
der to let them pass us, for which
they did not even thank us. The
Fords, in our estimation, are all
right, as we'll as some of their
drivers, and it is our candid opinion
that there are just as many road hogs
and careless drivers of other makes
of cars as of the Fords.
The state speed law is thirty miles
an hour, but anyone who drives over
this particular road as fast as that
is either drunk or crazy. The former
is subject to a fine and the latter
should be in an asylum. There are
many narrow, steep grades where
cars are liable to meet with disas-
trous results and that there are not
more accidents resulting more ser
iously is simply miraculous. The
Ford we were riding in that Sunday
had two narrow escapes from being
wrecked, one at Deadman's point,
where we met an Overland rounding
the sharp curve and by the skin of
our teeth we escaped going over the
embankment in turning out to avoid
collision, and in coming down the
Lunch creek grade we met a Stude-
baker six coming like the wind and
barely missed colliding with them,
they having the larger car. tried to
put us in the ditch.
Speeding on the public highways
should not be allowed. 1t menaces
