British Troops in Possession Of More

British Troops in Possession Of More
German Trenches.
London, Feb. 13.-Severe fighting
between the British and Germans In
the Ancre region Of France continues.
Again the British have attacked the
Germans north of the river in the vi
cinity of the Beaucourt-Puisieux road
and captured 600 yards Of trenches. AT
Ere, midway between Baucourt and
Puisieux, the Germans attacked the
British, but were repulsed, according
to London.
Berlin, on the other hand, says the
British in attacks against wrecked
Germna trenches from Serre to the
river were repulsed, suffering heavy
casualties.
It is admitted, however, that q
trench southeast Of Serre, which had
been rendered unserviceable, was
evacuated, but before the British Of
fensive was launched.

GERMAN TROOPS ON BORDER
One Reason Why Holland SHE'D at
American Policy.

American Policy.
Copenhagen, Feb. 13.-Five German
army corps concentrated on the Hol-
land frontier furnished fairly con-
vincing explanation, in default of 9th
er reasons, for the failure of the Dutch
government to adopt the policy toward
Germany recommended by President
Wilson on account of the German sub
marine campaign.
That German troops were assem-
bling in fairly large numbers in the
vicinity Of the Holland border had
been the subject Of gossip in Berlin
military circles for several weeks be-
fore the announcement of tho new
submarine campaign.

sess q certain value. Now and then,
however. is found a report that old
nublic attention. In this class may be
mt a statement just issued by the
bureau in respect to the cost of gov
eminent in the various states.
From the report just issued 1t Is
earned that only twenty-five states
in the Union pay their total expenses
for governmental costs, interest on IN
d~ehtedness and OUTLAWS for permanent
;nnrovements from their revenues.
Twentv-six states. the report shows.
are losing business propositions and
e,oven states are not even meeting
c,,rrent and interest charges.
Tho AGGREGATE revenues of all the
states during 191 were S466,946,74S;
the total expenses and OUTLAWS were
s51O,134,299.
Montana's record in respect to rev.
enue is exceptional. The per capita
net revenue receipts for Montana were
during the year, s17.62; the per capt.
ia expenditures for governmental
costs were 1924, state governmental
costs more per capital in Nevada than
n other state and California is a
close second. The cost in Nevada
per capita during 1916 was s12.45 and
for California $11.06. Montana re-
ceipts per capita far exceed those of
any other state in the Union; they
are nearly five times as great as those
of Ohio and nearly four times those
of New York. The cost of state gov
eminent reaches the lowest levels in
the southern states, the bottom notch
being S1.S4 per capita in the two
Carolinas.
After going over the governments
figures, a conclusion that most of US
will agree to is that, while it costs
more to live in Montana, it's worth
it.-Butte Post.

AMERICA AT WAR

War work in the United States
seems to move slowly. The senate
and the house and the conference COM
mittee debated the war revenue meas
ure for what seems an interminable
time. The stock market has been
weak because of the delay in fixing
prices on copper and steel. Every
thing seems to lag.
But what are the facts? We have
been at war but a little over five
months. In that time, says the Balti-
more Sun, we have
Passed the selective draft law and

STATE COLLEGES TO TEACH
BREAD AND GARMENT MAKING

Encouraged by the splendid results
obtained in the girls bread baking
contest the past year, the state COL
lege is entering upon a campaign to
reach every girl in the elementary
and secondary schools Of Montana and
induce them to join a bread and gar
ment making contest. M. j. Abbey,
who is directing the work, states that
scientific methods in household arts
must be taught u girs as a part
of their school work if they are to
fill the larger place which recent con-
ditions have created for them. That
education is not a distant thing to be
used later in life, but a tangible in
strument which can be used for eco
nomic ends while the boy and girl are
still in school. With this end in view,
Prof. Abbey called to his assistance
a number of state and government en-
perts and asked them to prepare a
series of lessons in bread and garment
making which are based upon scien-
tific methods of economy and are
adapted to girls of different ages and
experience. These lessons are being
sent to teachers, women's clubs and
church workers with the request that
every girl in the community between
the ages Of ten and eighteen be en-
rolled in clubs for instruction. AL
ready large numbers have enrolled.
AS a reward of merit, county con-
tests will be held to determine who is
entitled to a free trip and weeks in
struction at the state college or state
fair. Instructors are to be sent out
from the college to the various clubs
to give instruction and assist at local
and county contests. Persons inter-
ested in the work should write the
Junior Extension department., Boze-
man, for information which will en-
able them to commence the work at
once.
