STOP WHEN ORDERED.
OR YOU MAY BE SHOT
Montana Militia Guarding
Railroads Around Missoula.

Members Of the Montana National
guard are patrolling the railroads
around Missoula as Il precaution
against possible attacks from German
plottcrs seeking to destroy the ma
tons transportation facilities. The
men are instructed to stop all persons
approaching the tracks at the points Of
possible danger and to learn their bus
mess. If tnc command to halt is not
obeycd. the soldiers are instructed to
resort to the use of their firearms
1t has been the experience Of the
men while serving on the border that
innocent persons will often become
anic-strickcn when ordered to halt,
and, in some cases, try to run away.
Several of these innocent persons have
been shot. It is said, for failing to obey
the order. The guardsmcn wish to
avoid that trouble here. They will
not take action against those persons
who stand upon tho order and give an
account Of themselves, but violation Of
the order will be dealt with in sum
mary manner.
Therefore, il YOU have occasion to
pass near the tracks and are accostcd
by a soldier, do not seek to avoid him
by walking or running away. STOP
when he tells you to and answer the
questions he may ask YOU. II you can
not explain your position satisfactor-
lily, further investigation will be made
Otherwise. You may pass on unmo-

HOW GRAIN is DAMAGED.

There are many factors which In
tluence and destroy vitality, the most
common being immaturity, heat or
weather damage.
1t is almost impossible to get grain
absolutely free from some of it's enc
mics, therefore few lots of seed when
tested for vitality will prove one hun
dred per cent strong. If a certain lot
of wheat be sown under ordinary con.
ditions which tested only fifty per
cent, it means only fifty per cent OF
a crop can possibly be produced, al
though it has been repeatedly proven
that by sowing twice as much, the
maximum output cannot be expected.
1t is therefore much better to test all
the seed and to fan it severely, plant
ing only the plumpest kernels. Dis
pose Of your screenings in some other
way, the best being to feed 1t to the
chickens or to the hogs.
