IN the constitution adopted last night,
shall be to promote the propagation
and protection of the wild game and
game fish Of the state of Montana,
first, by encouraging spirit Of mutual
helpfulness and an interchange of
ideas: second. by formulating and urg-
ing useful and beneficial legislation;
third. by demanding rigid enforce
ment Of all the fish and game laws of
the state: fourth. by the compiling and
distribution Of information bearing
upon wild game and game fish and the
prcpogation and protection of the
same; fifth. by demanding the best and
most productive system possible for
the propagation of any and all game
birds and animals and game fish
which can be raised In this state, and
sixth, by cooperating with and affil-
tating with other sportsmens' clubs
throughout the state of Montana.
Previous to the adoption of the con-
stitution and the election Of officers,
the members Of the association dis
cussed plans for the ensuing. year, and
decided to stage an elaborate fish ban
quet in the fall. along the same lines
as former banQuets. but on a larger
scale. Dan McQuarrie also discussed
changes in the fish and game laws
made during the last session of the
legislature. e@@ w. r.2s

Miss Belle Fligelman Appeals
to Students as Extreme
-
PacifiSt. I.

The arguments of the extreme paci-
fist In regard to the entrance OF the
United States into the European con-
flict were forcefully presented to the
students of the State University by
Miss Belle F1igelman, Congresswoman
Jeanette Rankin's private secretary.
yesterday morning at convocation. One
after another. Miss Fligelman dis
cussed the reasons commonly advanced
by those In favor Of bringing the war
to America.
I'VE have come to see that perma-
nent settlement and peace rest in prin-
ciple, not In force. War has never
settled anything. It Is time that we
were finding a way that bespeaks of
the brotherhood of man instead Of
helping to spread carnage over the
world. What good can be accomplished
by shooting down men who have been
hired to fight?'.
AT the entrance OF New York har-
Dor stands the statue of Liberty. It
is .emblematic of what we call Amer
ica's greatest asset, vet within the
limits of that great city, where stands
this statue, in sweatshops, in mills, in
coal breakers, thousands, millions Of
young people are wasting away their
lives. .st47
Sd Asked Food; Given War. .t==
Last week in this city an array of
women half crazed by starvation, be-
gan a series OF demonstrations. But
those who could give them food had
no time to listen to their cries. War
was in the air and war and nothing
else could be attended to. And now
these women, these children and starv-
ing men will be called upon to defend
their liberty-What liberty?
+ IF Lincoln were here today he
would not urge that we enter into a
conflict with European countries. His
effort would be to persuade us to
build a new liberty, loftier, kinder, a
sympathetic liberty.
THE hope Of America rests now with
you young people. It IL you OF the
universities of this country to whom
we must look for the building of this
new liberty"
Miss F1igeiman's address was heart
lily received by the students.

"A enterprsing girl named Esther Howand,

EXCELLENT RETURNS
FROM THE CANADIAN
WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces of Canada are easily explained
by the case of Mr.. c. Lacy, late of
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
consin in the summer of 1914 with
81 500 available cash in his possession.
He rented a half-section of partly I'M
proved land in Alberta and commenced
summer fallowing. He broke 300 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 26O with
wheat. Also he had two cows and 20
head of young live stock. He was for
tunate in buying feed at a bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.
w. ]. Winstead, of Brooks, Alberta,
says:
"I landed in Brooks, March 18th,

and nine head of good horses, and less

CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
