EXEMPTION BOARDS WILL
SERVE DURING THE WAR

Just as the members of the exemp-
tion boards in districts Nos. l and 2,
which cover the state of Montana,
had nearly completed their examina-
tion of appeals, etc., for the first
contingent summoned to the national
army and were ready to resign, they
received a wire from the president
that they had been conscripted for
the period of the war.
AS result they will continue to
perform their duties so long as the
government raises any of its soldiers
through the national draft. Each
member has received specially en-
graved commission signed by the
president and Adjutant General
Crowder.
The members of the boards so hon
ored are Albert ]. Galen of Helena,

GALLATIN PEAS
WILL BE CANNED
ERECTION OF BIG PEA CANNERY
AT BOHEMIAN HAS BEEN
DECIDED UPON.
Production of Peas One of Most Prof.
itale Industries in Country Adja-
cent to BOzeman-Construc
Work Started on Factory, Which is
Financed by Local Capital.

Gallatin county, famed for it's rec
ord yields of prize winning wheat
oats and barley, is fast coming tc
the front as producer of the finest
peas that can be grown. Soil, eli
mate, elevation, in ract all condi-
tlons seem to be just right for peas
of all kinds. For years, Bozeman
the county seat, has been known az
the "Sweet ePa City," a name giver
to it because of the profusion o
sweet peas which are to be seen il
every door yard and which bloom
from early summer until long after
the first snow falls.
A few years ago an eastern seeds.
man visiting in Bozeman noticed the
wonderfully luxuriant vines and the
wealth of blooms and was at once
convinced that conditions were ideal
for the growing of peas and it was
not long before his company was con-
tracing with Gallatin valley farmers
for the growing of garden peas for
seed. During the very first season
yields of so and SO bushels per acre
were reported and since that time the
industry has grown steadily until at
present about 900 acres are grown
annually.
Strong Company Formed.
The latest development in the pea
industry of the Gallatin valley is the
announcement from Bozeman that
100000 worth of stock has been sub
scribed by local men for the forma-
tion of a pea canning company. The
success of the venture seems assured
from the start, for 1t has behind it
the oldest and best-known business
men in the valley. Among the larg-
est stockholders are: T. B. Story,
president; L. l.. Botherton, secretary;
Lester Work, j. F. Blair, l.. S. Will
son, Fred Bull, Nelson Story, sr.,
George Cox, J. w. Work, E. M. Mar
tin and Louis Accola.
Work has already begun on the
new factory which is located north
of Bozeman, Just west OF the Bozc-
man Milling company's flour mill
The building is to contain a modern
one-line plant, capable of handling
100000 pans of peas each season
Experienced pea men believe that
growing peas for canning will prove
even more profitable than growing
peas for seed. One of the greatest
drawbacks to the seed industry has
been the difficulty of ripening and
threshing the peas before the coming
of the early fall SHOWS. In the can
ming business there will be no such
trouble for the peas are moved and
taken to the cannery while green
Thus the grower has had his land
cleared and his crOD harvested anG
Those who have had experience with
the pea canning industry declare that
the crop should be worth at Least
500 per acre to the grower.

That a thoroughly modern hotel
will soon be erected at one of The
most picturesque sites on Flathead
lake is the statement of Col. A. A.
White, who states that the Flathead
Lake Hotel company will be organ
lied at once with headq Aarters at

the announcement that this concern
will also build two of the most pula-
tial ferry boats in the world to ply
day and night between the railway
terminals at the north and south
ends of the lake.
Colonel White, who is low "a
years of age, has been spending his
summers on Flathead lake for the
past 33 years, and says that he hopes
to live 26 years longer to see the
Flathead lake develop into one of the
greatest summer resorts in the world

protection of supplies in the course
of manufacture for the United States,
or the protection of transportation
lines where necessary, including the
rights-of-way of railroads, bridges,
etc. They must be subject to the
command of the governor and must
receive regular military instructions
and such portion as may be necessary
shall be available at all times for
duty.
The property to be issued will con-
sist of suitable rifles, ammuniti n,
cartridge belts, haversacks and cam
teens. In order that Montana guards
may secure them the governor will
have to make application to the chief
of ordnance, Washington, d. c., and
he must state the places where the
guards are engaged, give the total
number, the number actually en-
ployed for guard duty at any one
time, the name of the commanding
officer and reference to the author
ity for the organization of said
guards.
The governor will have to receipt
for the equipment and if the war de-
partment so decides the state will
have to give bond covering it's val
ue. The cost of packing and trans
portation will also have to be taken
care of other than by the war depart
ment.

war began. And while the meat pro-
duction has decreased and must de-
crease more, the needs of the soldiers
and war workers have increased. If
Americans can save one ounce of
meat a person per day, sufficient
amount of meat can be sent to the al
lies and the American army.
Before the war, France, Italy and
Belgium produced as much sugar as
they used, while England drew most
of it's supply from the nations with
which she is now at war. The sugar
ration in France per capita is 21
pounds annually, and in England
26 pounds, while the per capita con-
sumption in the United States is
nearly 80 pounds. We must divide
with them and it can be done by
eating less candy and pastry.
In Montana, as In other states, it
is hoped during the week of October
28 to November to obtain the sig
natures of every householder and ev-
cry adult consumer of food in the
state, to the pledge cards promising
lines of conservation of wheat, meat
and sugar and fats.
An organization by districts, coun-
ties and precincts is now under way
and canvassers are asked to circulate
the cards and obtain the signatures
and, failing to get the signatures, to
secure from the person declining, his
or her reasons for not complying.
Sam D. Coca of Helena is cam
paign director, and Prof. Alfred At
kinson is state food administrator
for Montana.

FOOD FROM WEST
TO HELP NATION
MONTANANS URGED TO PARTICI-
PATE IN DUTIES OF
PLEDGE WEEK.
Must Cut Down Consumption of
Wheat, Meats, Sugar and Fats in
Order That Supply of Army and
Allies May Be Sufficient; Plenty
of Good Substitutes.

Montanans will be able to assist
greatly in the conduct of the war by
participating in the work of pledge
week, which starts October %, and
agreeing not to use those foods and
materials most needed by the army
and navy and Americas allies in the
great war.
This fact was strongly impressed
upon Chairman Sam D. Coca, of the
state committee in charge of the
pledge campaign, and his associates
when they attended a conference of
Montana and Idaho workers, which
was addressed by Edward Trefz,
formerly travelling representative of
the chamber of commerce of the
United States, now personal repre-
sentative of Mr.. Hoover, visiting the
western states.
Mr.. Trefz, who came to America
from Germany with his parents when
Is years of age, visited the portions
of Belgium and northern France in
possession of the Germans, since the
war commenced, going as the per-
sonal representative of President Will
son.
Food is the factor that is going to
and it is up to America to supply the
food. This she will be able to do
only through the practice of self
denial and self-sacrifice, refusing to
eat those things which can be
shipped abroad.
Campaign of Lies.
That Germany has no illusions re-
garding the route by which the war
will be won or lost, was shown when
she learned food administration
had been established in the United
States. She began a lying and vi
cious propaganda.
Among the foreign element of our
states, especially among those not
conversant with the American Ian
guage," declared Mr.. Trefz, 1.-The
men were told if they signed the
food pledge cards that they would be
forced into the trenches in France;
the women were told that if they
signed, it meant they would be COM
PEELED to act as cooks in the allied
armies or as flunkies in the hospitals
in France"
The food vacuum abroad is caused
by the withdrawal from productive
sources of men and women, the latter
entering the factories and the trades
of men to take up the work which
the men dropped when they went in
to the allies armies.
England, France, Belgium and
Italy in peace time, import 40 per
cent of their foodstuffs. Now they
must import so per cent. Our nor
NAL exports must be increased from
88,000,00O bushels of wheat to 22O,-
100000 and it can only be done in
one way-by economizing and sub
stituting," declared the speaker.
"The food administration does not
expect or request Americans to eat
less food but only to substitute as
far as possible some other cereal for
wheat and use more fish and seafood
and poultry and less beef, pork and
mutton. Substitution and not de-
privation, in short"

decreased 33,00O,0O0 head since the

PRETTY P0SIES GROWING
in DEPTH OF BIG MINE

In the very bowels of the earth,
1900 feet below the surface of Butte
hill, in the Tramway mine, is very
pretty little flower garden where the
miners cultivate underground pansies,
nasturtiums and other posies. 1t is
one of the marvels that greets those
making a trip through the great la
bryinths from which has been taken
the bronze metal ore that has made
Butte famous.
These underground flowers differ
from the usual garden or hothouse
product in that they will last for two
or three weeks after being plucked,
retaining their color and aroma.
Miners in the Tramway mine cult
vate the garden and all take an un-
usual interest.

U. S. PREPAREDNESS FOR WAR.

Representative Heflin of Alabama
believes that the United States should
keep right on rapidly making prepare
tons for war at the present and not
stop now for any peace discussion. He
is convinced that we are fairly well
prepared now and that we need not
concern ourselves with peace until the
objects for which we entered the war
are attained. The following, he said,
illustrates his feeling on the situation
as it is at present:
Down in the mountains of Alabama
there lived an old man who kept a jug
of liquor concealed in a hole in a log.
From time to time he would go down
for a swig of mountain dew that had
never been Inundated by a revenue
stamp" One evening while he was
enjoying a draught of the poison he
felt something touch his foot and, look
ing down, saw a rattlesnake coiled
ready to strike. Taking another hear
ty pull at the jug he looked defantly
at the reptile and said:
"Strike, dern you, strike; you will
never find me better prepared"

THE HARVEST MOON

During the last days of September
and the first few in October the world
was bathed in the rays of the Harvest
Moon. The popularity of the harvest
moon is that it shines throughout tho
entire night, rising just after sunset
and staying on duty until the orb Of
DAY has made his appearance. This
schedule is followed for several DAYS
Why the deviation from the schedule
Zone seem to know. In the countries
oi Europe its brilliant light has H.
ways been utilized mere or less to 81. =

IL has also been favored by lovers
presumably since Adam wooed Eve i,
