FORT AIlSSOl'LA.

The decision Of the government
to abandon Fort Missoula for
military purposes is a matter OF
deep and immediate Importance
to the citizens Of this city.
Here is a plant. modern and
we'll equipped and constructed at
a cost Of more than 81, 100000 and
with a large acreage most favor
ably located.
What is to be done with IT,
Are The buildings to be dis
mantlcd and the plant strapped
because il cannot be used with
economy and efficiency as u mill
tary post?
Not at all. The citizens Of
Mssoula are vitality concerned in
the plans Of the government and
out Of the conferences to be held
by onr citizens must come plan
that will work important bencf, )
to this community.
We invite attention to our news
columns where there is offered a
proposal to turn this valuable
property over to the University OF
Montana. Our university is to
grow beyond our dreams, we
hope. II must have room for
expansion. Here at Fort Mis-
soula is plant that can be used
Immediately.
Tn. proposition is not new.
1t has found strong and enthusi-
astic approval before. Let it Ire
renewed in a way that will go
straight to success without delay,
II is highly important that WE
put our shoulders to the wheel
now. get our congressman and
senators and state authorities in
tcrestcd and go to the job with
the same energy that is being
shown IN various war activities.

Farmers Battle Cry.

"We got It in the neck last sum

harder than ever next year.
The speaker was farmer from the
reservation. in Missoula on shop

Don't think we've quit cold out
there, even II most Of us did go under
last summer" he said.
The Italian army has nothing on the
F1athead farmers for hard luck. Last
spring the whole reservation mortgaged
itself to extend cultivation in response
to the presidents appeal for big crops.
Vast areas of virgin land were plowed
under. Then came an invading army
OF grasshoppers which laid waste to
wide stretches of wheat land. Thou
sands Of dollars and all the time avail
able were spent in fighting the hop
pers. But before the battle had been
won a hot wave began burning UP the
wheat in the field. The result was
disastrous.
But the farmers are coming back
to the fight with more spirit than ever.

/ 100000 new women voters Of
that state are already causing the
politicians to sit up and think
hard. All concerned have been
notified by these women that
they are not merely to go to the

they are telling President Wilson
that unless he asks congress to
pass a nationwide suffrage
amendment they will defeat every

grcss in New York state at the
next November election. They

police and detective forces. on The
