Soldier and Sailor Insurance.

If a soldier or sailor is killed, and
he has wife and children, the Gov
eminent will provide compensation
for the wife, so long as she remains
unmarried, and support for the chill
dren until they become 10 years of
age.
These payments range from 1925 for
a widow alone to $3.50 for a widow
and four children. If the man is total
ly disabled the Government will make
a fixed monthly payment to him rang
ing from $50 month, if he is married,
to $500 a month, if he has a wife
and three or more children. Should
he be so helpless as to require a nurse
or attendant he will be given up to
$40 additional. Should he lose both
feet, both hands, or both eyes, or be
permanently bedridden, he will be
paid 500 month, whether he is a
bachelor or married.

PLAY SAFE.

One of the Liberty Loan workers in
New York suggests that it is mis-.
take not to accept the entire sum of
the oversubscription which has re.
suited from the drive" 1t took a
great deal of work and no small
amount of time and a tremendous lot
Of careful planning, he argues, to Sc
cure the host of small subscriptions
which came in at the last and swelled
the total of the offering. This work,
he says, will have to be done all over
again when the next loan is f1oated,
with the chance that some of the sub.
scribers will not then be in position
to subscribe anew.

ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.

God works IN mysterious ways His
wonders to perform Thus far in
this great world war while the colored
man has received some very serious
and painful jolts there have been
much good to come out of Nazareth.
At first, when with their usual. 10y.
atty and patriotism colored men for.
got their color and undertook to get
into the game just as other citizens
Of this land of the free and the home
of the brave" did, they were rather
rudely awakened from their dreams
They, however, pocketed their chagrin
as best they could but did not let up
in their efforts to prove their loyalty
and patriotism all over this country,
and the outlook is quite encouraging
Friends of the dominant race who are
not ashamed nor afraid to speak their
sentiments boldly, are being heard
from on all sides in complimentary
terms Of the patriotism, loyalty, BRAY
cry ana Soldlerly bearing. This Is
very encouraging.
A few days ago at Camp Grant
Rockford, ILL.,, Maj. Gen. Thomas H
Barry paid some very high compli
ments. Among other things he said
II have served with colored troops
In peace and in war off and on fol
more than forty years, and l have al
ways found them equal to any emer
gency, if properly handled, led, and
given the consideration that you are
entitled to.
Under some white skins there are
black hearts; and the heart, after all
is the real test of the man."
Is not this encouraging?

THE ONE GREAT ENEMY.

Next month we may declare war
against Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey
but the war will always be known as
the war with Germany. Germany was
the AGGRESSION, from the start; Ger
many has been the active agent all the
time. Austria would never have bull
dozed Serbia but for Germany's ap-
prevail. Bulgaria would never have
been drawn in but for the lavishness
of German promises. Turkey would
have kept out but for Germany's pres
sure. So, no matter how many NOM
may have, the one great enemy is and
will be Germany.

friend of Lincoln, Mr.. Chandler came
to Washington in the days of the
Civil War and was an assistant secre-

Committee, and his activities in the
disputed Presidential election of 1876

in President Arthur's Cabinet as Sec

were taken the first steps in the
building of the new navy, the white

sented New Hampshire in the Senate;
and on his retirement from that posi-
ton he become president of the CON-

growing out of the war with Spain.
For sixty years he was active in pub

Should Harvest Fifty Million Bushels
Montana produces excellent wheat
and she should raise at least 50,000,-
900 bushels in 1917. In 1915 the gov
eminent estimate placed the Montana
wheat crop at AZ, 900 900 bushels. IN
1916, the report showed only 28,OOO,-
reduction being due to loss from win
ter killing. A total of fifty million
bushels would mean only the very
moderate increase that should be ex-
pected.
Marquis Spring Wheat Good
Dry land intended for spring grain,
where the seed bed can be prepared
early, should be planted to Marquis
spring wheat. This variety is one of
the best yielders amongst the spring
wheat grown in the state and is a very
excellent milling wheat. The demand
will be for wheat of high bread max
ing quality and the Marquis meets
this requirement admirably. It is a
beardless wheat so that the straw
may be used for stock feed in the
winter.
Seed Four to Five Pecks
When planted On dry land Marquis
spring wheat should be seeded at the
rate of four to five pecks of seed per
acre. Plant seed that will grow. If
you have seed showing some frost
but have it tested. Much frosted seed
is good for planting. Its terminating
power may have been destroyed but
you can find this out only by having
seed to the grain laboratory of the
experiment station at Bozeman and
have it's termination determined. Take
no chances with poor seed.

LODGING HOUSES
MUST OBEY Law
State Fire Marshall Issues Edict
to All Hosiery Owners.
Enforcement Urged

Those Montana hotels and rooming
houses which are not equipped with
fire escapes must take immediate ac-
ton in complying with the state law,
according to an edict issued recently
by State Fire Marshal A. E. Elk
lund, following an inspection of the
hotels and rooming houses of Helena,
says the Independent. MI. Eklund has
notified the hotel owners that they
must start at once to equip their
places with fire escapes and prosecu-
tions will be started if his orders are
not carried out within a reasonable
time.
The law relative to the necessity
of fire escapes in hotels and lodging
houses follows:
Every owner, lessee, proprietor or
manager of a hotel, inn or lodging
house situated in the state of Mon
tana shall place or cause to be placed
and maintained a rope or better ap-
pliance in each and every ROOF of such
rooms on the ground floor, which rope
or other appliance shall be securely
fastened within the roo to a suit
able iron hook or ring, which rope
shall at all times be kept coiled up and
exposed to plain view Of any occupant
of said room, the coil to be fastened
in such manner as to be easily and
quickly loosened and uncoiled, and
such rope shall be of sufficient length
to reach from the window of such
room to the ground, and, with its
fastenings, shall be of sufficient
strength to sustain the weight of
400 pounds.
at shall also be the duty of every
such owner, lessee or proprietor or
manager to post or cause to be posted
and maintained in a conspicuous
place in each lodging room and each
hall of such hotel or lodging house,
except on the ground floor, a printed
notice to the effect that such rope or
better appliance is 81 placed in every
room for use in last of fire and CIV
ing full instructions for such use."

plant spring wheat in the bare places.
The Marquis variety is good for this
purpose, as it natures early and will
be ripe at nearly the same time as
winter wheat. It is important to
plant dry land spring wheat early.

MILLING QUALITY OF WHEAT

MILLING QUALITY OF WHEAT
Wheat as sold through the board of
trade is considered entirely from a
milling standpoint. Dry, sound, bright,
sweet, clean, hard kernels with a
large percentage of gluten make a
good flour which, in turn, produces a
large volume of good bread; and the
bread-making capacity is the test for
quality in wheat.

west are classified in the standard
