MEMORIAL DAY ADDRESS.

(By Judge l. M. Olsen Of New Ulm)
TT is a special privilege at this time to
greet you veterans of the Grand
Army. 1t is an inspiration to all to
watch your ranks marching proudly west
ward into the glory of the setting sun.
Your deeds Of valor are done. Your VIC
tories won, and your fame and honors are
safely enshrined in the memory of this
and all future generations of our people
Our nation has just entered this great
est of all wars, and our young men are
again marching to battle, This must be
to you, as it is to us all, time of great
and grave interest. It no doubt brings to
your minds vivid pictures of the days of
your own army life.
Do you also wait eagerly to see how the
men of today shall acquit themselves?
Will they measure up to your standards?
believe you have no doubts or misgiv-
ings as to that. With your example to
guide them, with united nation, with all
it's power and wealth. with all its science
and intelligence and all it's sturdy man
hood to support them, in carrying through
what has been we'll begun, this new army
and navy shall not fail.
It is pleasure to address you the men
and women of Redwood Falls. Because
your loyalty and devotion to your country
in this time Of need has been well shown.
/ read few days ago this definition of
patriotism: Patriotism is love of coun-
try carried out in Deeds" Patriotism is
more than love and loyalty, it is doing
things for your country. Expressing your
loyalty by deeds of service and by suffer
ing and sacrifice, if need be, to the ut
most, you are doing things here in Red
wood Falls; sending out your men to serve
and your money to sustain. You are or
ganizing and working, and carrying your
love Of country into deeds and into service.
/ turn to another portion Of this audi
ence, the children, SO many Of whom have
joined with us in the observance Of this
|day. At every Memorial Day service
find host Of children, eagerly interested
in the exercises. And am glad that these
boys and girls from our homes and schools
take such an active part in the observance
of Memorial Day
There is much for them to learn and to
enjoy in these exercises. There is the
music, and especially the band music; all
children enjoy that And what boy does
not feel proud to march in the parade?
There are the flags and flowers and

OUR COMPLIMENTS TO THE FOOD
SPECTATORS.

WYE all avoid the Shiny serpent. We
M detest the noxious gases emanat-
ing from the sewer. We severely
punish the petty highway robbers and os-
tracise them from our midst, but what
should we do to these loathsome jackets,
posing as gentlemen and pillars of the
church, who are speculating in our staple
foods to their own enrichment? Should
we continue to welcome them to our
homes, introduce them to our daug 1ters,
ask them to pass the contribution plate
on Sunday, and point them out to our
young men as models of American gentle
men. (God save the mark. If so, Cap
tain Kid deserves niche in our hall of
fame. Perhaps we are little harsh on
these wayward, erring children who are
dazzled by the glare Of the almighty dol
lar. Perhaps we should throw the mantle
of charity around their noble shoulders.
Perhaps they are afflicted with tempo
rary brainstorm and should be handled
gently We would like to think kindly Of
these men. All, yes, we would like to
credit them with being the highest ex-
ample of American manhood, shining
type of our civilization, finished
product of our culture and refinement, but
their deeds smell to high heaven. May
their sainted mother get down on bended
knee and apologize to God for bringing
such vermin into being.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9Th, 1917.
THE SOLDIER OF THE RED CROSS.

The trumpet of the War God is sounding
from afar
Across the seas hear it call to sons of
stripe and star.
And we've rallied to the summons
AS our Fathers did of old,
Saying Wilson we are ready for the
duty of the bold.
Lift the old Star Spangled Banner
So the sons of France may see,
We are ready and are willing
To fight for Liberty.
Our sons will soon be marching forth
To distant lands and far,
And Ger their heads will proudly float
The flag of stripe and star.
And some of them will doubtless sleep
When shell-torn fields are red,
The sleep that knows no waking
In the bivouac of the dead.
And some will cry with anguish
And some with fever toss
And these are the ones that we must help
We of the good Red Cross.
So we're gathered here this evening
To help as best we can,
Our army and our navy
Our fine enlisted man.
May God smile on him in the hour
When most he needs friend,
May the soldier of the Red Cross
Be with him at the end.

ing at the Armory June /, 1917, by How

Poor old Russia is in sad straits these

STOCK SHIPMENTS NOW
MEAN BIG SHORTAGE

Considerable alarm is expressed by
Montana stockmen over the heavy
shipments to eastern and western
markets and many predict big
shortage in cattle and sheep in the
state next year.
Secretary d. w. Raymond of the
state live stock commission has COM
piled figures showing that the ship
ments originating in the state during
the months Of September and Octob-
er this year We're sc per cent greater
than during the same period last
year. Reports made to him so far this
month show that the average is keep
ing up.
The total shipments from the state
in 1916 to all eastern markets were
227,S28 head. There has already
been shipped to Chicago alone this
year in September and October 112,-
258 head.
In September and October of this
year there were 64,9O3 steers shipped
from Montana to Chicago compared
with 5O,310 in 1916, an icrease of
1883 head. There were 44,168 COWS
shipped during the same period this
year compared with only 1926 COWS
last year, an increase of 2S,283. In
1916, during these two months there
were only 395 calves shipped COM
pared with 3,l87 this year, an in
crease of 2,792.

Predicts Coal Shortage.

w. j. Swindlehurst, state fuel ad-
ministrator, says there is every indi-
cation of fuel shortage in Montana
during the coming winter.
In the interest of fuel conservation
he advises householders to overhaul
their heating equipment and see that
thir weather strips, double windows
pipe coverings, flues and chimneys
are in order. He suggests that dam
per control is one of the chief secrets
of economical heating, and clean sur
faces are most essential as SCOT is a
poorer conductor of heat than asbes-
tos.
He says that care and attention
will be a great factor is saving do
mestic coal, and asks householders
to cut down fuel consumption in ev-
cry possible way.

FRIENDS PLOW UP SICK
MANS 50, SOWING GRAIN

Farmers living in the vicinity of
Havre recently gave demonstration
of real friendship and neighborliness,
and as result, Guy Chase, who owns
farm in Hill county, has fine field
Of so acres seeded to winter wheat
Chase had been sick for ONE lit
tie time and help was unavailable
for fall planting. Learning his condi-
tion large number of his friends
and neighbors came to the rescue.
Without saying a word to him they
met at sun up one morning and TAX
ing eight fourhorse teams went to
his field, plowed, narrowed and seed
ed it.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Chase arose in
the morning they were startled to
find men working on their farm, but
their joy knew no bounds when in
formed what they were doing. They
were simply overcome by the dem
onstration of friendship.

NEEDS OF ARMY
HELPS TRAPPING
GOVERNMENT NEEDS FURS FOR
COAT Innings AND GAPS
FOR AVIATORS.
Prices of Skins Better Than Ever
and Demand Takes All Good Hides
Offered-Opportunit for Mon
tana Boys to Help by Trapping
Wild Animals.

There is chance for Montana
boys to do their bit in helping clothe
the boys in Europe by spending some
of their spare time trapping and cap
turing animals, whose pelts are need
ed by the government in lining avia-
tors coats and for caps and coats for
all branches of the military and
naval service.
At the recent St. Louis fur sale,
the allied governments bought 79O,-
600 pelts of these animals on the
closing day. Skins that formerly
brought 5 and 10 cents sold for 80
and 40 cents each, exceptionally good
ones bringing as high as $1.OO. Red
fox are also in great demand, some
of them bringing $47.50.
The big fur houses report that
every fur is being called for, and at
better prices than for many seasons.
Wildcat, skunk, muskrat, mink, and
oppossum are unusually high in
price.
These conditions create remark
able opportunity for the men and
boys of the country districts to make
more money than ever before. Many
farmer trappers are now enlisted in
the army, which means the fur-bear-
ing animals will be more plentiful
and easy to catch.

BEAVERS SHOW FARMER
HOW TO UTILIZE WATER

By watching a colony of beavers
working in the Remini district in the
Helena national forest farmer has
discovered how he may store the sur
plus water of one of the mountain
streams for irrigation purposes and
has applied to Supervisor j. B. Seely
for permit to use a small tract of
land for reservoir purposes.
The beaver showed this man how
practicable it would be to store the
water, so he has decided to go into
partnership with the animals. The
beaver had built dam of moderate
size, which demonstrated to the
rancher how feasible it was to make
his own dam large enough to irrigate
his fields. If the permit for the ir-
rigation reservoir is granted, it will
also benefit the beaver, as they will
then have more water to sport in
than they have now.
Beaver are now quite numerous in
the Helena forest, according to Su-
pervisor Seely.

PREPARE NOW FOR
WORK IN WINTER
GET MATERIALS NEEDED IN
OVERHAULING MACHINERY
AND REPAIRING.
"Stitch in Time" Now Will Save DAYS
of Labor When Cold and Snow
Drive Farmer Inside to Work.
Take Time Now to Give Odd Jobs
For Winter Days Consideration.

The exercise of little thought and
the expenditure of very few min
utes at this season will often save
not only hours but days later on
when the weather and roads get bad
and outdoor work is impossible
Then the odd jobs of overhauling
the farm equipment, repairing, paint
ing, ETC., which have been put off
until a slack season, will require at
tention; but all too often the neces-
sary materials will not be on hand,
and the work will be delayed until it
is possible to make a trip to town,
and not infrequently it remains un-
done until the busy season the fol-
lowing year, when necessity demands
It.
A list should be made of the things
that will be wanted for this work. 1t
will only take few minutes to jot
them down as they are brought to
mind, and then on the next trip to
town they may be bought and set
aside so they will be ready when
wanted. The condition of the diff
ferent machines which will or should
be, overhauled should be noted and
the parts which will need to be re-
placed purchased.
Get Lumber, Nails and Hardware.
Odd jobs of repairing buildings,
fences, gates, ETC., will require lum-
Der and nails. There is no need to
make an extra trip for them when
needed; they may be brought home
the next time load is taken to
town. Likewise get the lumber and
hardware for the small jobs of con-
struction which should be done be-
fore spring. Paints, oils, putty, and
brushes which will be required in
painting the various farm wagons,
implements, inside woodwork, furni-
ture, etc, and above all, the neces-
sary materials for the improvements
planned for the house should be OBJ
tanned, so that they can be completed
this winter and not have to wait an
other year.
Everyone knows how much more
satisfactory it is to have the neces-
sary equipment ready to perform
piece of work when an opportunity
presents itself than to get started on
it and then find that it will have to
be postponed until trip can be made
W JOWH, w HlCu, CNSH Ill LuG IOduS dIG
good and the trip can be made at
once, means loss of time and added
expense.
It is astonishing how much can be
on rainy days or dur
ing slack times, when the tools and
materials are at hand, and there
should be no difficulty in overhaul
ing practically every implement on
the farm during the winter season
and have them ready for next sea-
sons work. The value of these
stitches in time" is frequently out
Of all proportion to the small amount
Of time they require. Aside from
the satisfaction of having each i'm
plement in first-class shape when it
IS needed, there is the actual saving
by avoiding having
horses and hired help standing idle
while repairs are being made, which,
IN turn, frequently means a loss of
part of crop.
1t is useless to go into detail con-
the many jobs which can be
with profit during the
winter months; there are plenty of
hem which will occur to the farmer
who will spend few minutes in con-
the matter.

TAKES H0N0RS
SHORTHORNS AND HEREFORnS
FROM TREASURE STATE ARE
WINNERS.
Cook of Townsend and Miles of Liy-

Wyatt & Son and Childs-Anceny of
Bozeman Lead Shorthorn Breeders

Professor G.. N. Arnett of the state
college, who has just returned from
Judging the horses at the Northwest
Livestock show, held at Lewiston,
Ida, last week, reports that Montana
was we'll represented, especially in
the cattle division and that a good
share of the prizes were taken home
by Montana breeders.
A. B. Cook of Townsend with his
wonderful herd of Herefords was one
of the heaviest prize winners at the
show. Among his numerous win
nings were first on aged COW, two
year heifer, junior yearling heifer
and junior yearling bull. His two
year-old heifer was the champion fe-
male animal of the show Many who
saw the heifer at Lewiston believe
that she has good chance for high
honors in the International Live
stock show at Chicago, where she
will be shown next month.
j. D. Miles of Livingston also took
number of prizes on his excellent
herd of Herefords.
In the Shorthorn class, the Childs-
Anceny herd from Bozeman was one
of the best at the show and was
awarded numerous prizes. In this
same class, Harry Summers and
Wyatt & Son of Bozeman won first
and second places on aged bull.
Professor Arnett states that the
show was very we'll attended and
that the showing of livestock, espe-
cially of cattle was bigger and of
better quality than in any previous
show.

MONTANA STATE FUNDS
LENT TO 1873 FARMERS

to the present time 1873 farm loans fol
an aggregate amount of $315, ,44O, ac-
cording to the monthly report of Sid
ney Miller, register of the state land
office. Many more loans are pending
and by the first of the year indica-
tions are the state will have not less
than half a million dollars invested in
these farm loan securities. j..
For many months after the law was
passed, there were no applications
from farmers. Then a few were re-
ceived and loans made This was
proof to scores of farmers who had
previously been skeptical that the law
was in practical operation, and more
applications come from the locality
where the borrower dwells.
The business has grown so much
that much of the time of the deputy
field agents under Land Agent G. A.
Whipple is devoted to appraising
farms, the owners of which have ap-
piled for loans, while the time of one
assistant attorney general in the Of
flee of Attorney General S. G. Ford is
devoted almost exclusively to passing
upon abstracts of title.
In October 40 loans were made ag-
gregating $105,9 900 and the state land
board approved 65 loans for total
of $165,950.
The cash balance on hand in the
school funds at the end of October
was $1,969,939, according to Register
Miller's report and during that month
investments made aggregated $372,-
283.73 of which $1O5,900 was invest
ed in farm loans.

LAeoR's LOYALTY.

Mirroring the patriotism of the
whole country organized labor has
pledged its membership to the sup
port of the government and to hearty
cooperation in the mobilization of
industry.
Government service is to be done
with will and it is evident that the
example of the British workmen will
he followed and labor union rules re-
taxed.
The government will need all the
skilled labor possible. We need them
In our shipyards and for the manning
of supply factories.
With their patriotic interest and
Intelligent cooperation il should be
comparatively easy for men and jobs
to get together to mutual satisfac-
ton.
The workingman has been made the
object of much propaganda, both or
ganized and unattached.
He has been fed on lies, There
has been an ill-disguised effort to
plant the seeds of disloyalty and in.
still among the workmen the ignohle
and desmcable notion that they have
no interest in the defense of their
country. i.
