 Whereas. the success of the Liber- ty Loan is so vital to the nation that 1t is the first duty of every citizen to support to the utmost tho financial measures essential to the effective and successful prosecution of the war; and the observance of Liberty Day by the people of all States and Territories of the Union should immeasureably stimulate the sale of Liberty Bonds, the subscrip- tions to which will close on October 27, 1917;

 Liberty Day, to the end that nOth Ing humancly possible shall be left undone in arousing the enthusiasm and support of the people of Alaska in the great struggle for the sur viyal of democracy in which our ma ton is engaged The people oi Alaska are patriotic and their devo tion to republican institutions has been proved by their acts many times. and now they are expected to act well their part in the present grave crisis which confronts the ma. tion. Lip service is of little avail in time of trouble; action is needed, instant and complete; and the belief is expressed that our people will not fail in the great duty they now owe to the government which rep resents them in the conflict waged between the forces of humanity and freedom against those of autocracy and oppression.
 Remember, liberty will not per ish from the earth if Americans do their full duty!"

ALASKA DAY IS BEING OBSERVED

 Talks Were Made by Speakers.
PROGRAM AT A. B. HALL

With the initial program at A. B. Hall last night taxing it's seating capacity, and the banks and many stores and federal and territorial offices and schools closed today, Alaska Day was generally observed in Juneau.
 The program rendered by the Arc tic Brotherhood was unusually in tercsting, dealing with historical facts more romantic than any fic tion. The young people were well drilled in their parts and gave a realistic presentation of the trans fer of Alaska from Russia to the United States and the raising of the American flag.
 The two principal speakers of the evening were Gov. J. F. A. Strong and Father Kashevaroff, who re viewed Alaska history, some of which reads like a tale from the Arabian Knights. The Governor took occas { sion to refer to the present wal being waged by the United States for huamnity's sake and compli mented the concerted efforts of pat triotic Americans to bring the wal to a successful conclusion. Father Kashevaroff caused a rip pie of laughter in the audience when in describing the reign of Russian executives in Alaska, he remarked that one of them, unlike other Gov ernors in Alaska, died poor
 Being interrupted by the laughter 1 Father Kashevaroff quickly added q am speaking now of the time before the transfer of Alaska wal made"

At the recent meeting of the Ma
tional Livestock association, Louis D.
Hall, specialist in marketing live
stock and meats, announced that the
federal department of marketing was
prepared to give out special weekly

shippers of livestock and meats.
Weekly reports of the amounts OF
all stored food products, such as
meat, eggs, ETC.. on hand in all the
larger cities, will be sent to any one

tendents. This will enable the ship
per to know how many carloads of
stock are moving to wards any parti-
cular market or any particular day

Estimate Based on Numerous Tests

Butterfat Production of 275
Pounds, Equivalent to 343.75

The average yield of COWS in Wis
cOnsin, which leads all the states of

doubled last year by a herd of rs
COWS on the Montana ranch at Cas-
cade, owned by e. F. Lyman.
This herd of pure bred and high
grade Holstein Friesian cattle has
been under development for the last
seven years, most of the original
stock being such common cows as
were obtainable in that part of the
state seven or eight years ago.
The secret of this herds develop
ment, If any, consists in the use of
choice pure bred sires, careful Gull
ing of Improbable animals, and rea-
sonably good care and feeding.
The average production for each
COW in this herd would load three

ASSESSORS DECIDE ON
FARM LAND SCHEDULE

The Montana assessors association
has adopted the following schedule
for the assessment of farms and i'm
elevators:
Glass No. Level and fairly lev
ell land of good quality, located with
in 10 miles of a railroad market
point.
Class No. Trough and rolling
land which may be cultivated, or lev
Ell land which is of inferior quality
or first class land that is located
more than 10 miles distant from a
railroad market or shipping point.
Glass No. 3-Grazing land that is
SO cut up by coulees, or is so rocky
or rough, or so covered by brush or
scrub timber as to be unfit for cul-
tivation.
Glass No. Waste land, that
which is practically worthless and
produces nothing.
Irrigated land, or land under the
ditch and actually irrigated.
We recommend that lands be
assessed as follows:
Irrigated land, $12 per acre up.
Glass No. l, farm land, Sc per acre
up.
Glass No. 2, farm land, 81 per acre
up.
Class No. 3, grazing land, 50 per
acre up.
Glass No. 4, waste land, 81 per
acre.
Land not plated, IN or adjoining
cities or towns, may be assessed
higher, if such location gives such
land a special value.
Elevators shall be assessed at $100
for each 1000 bushels capacity.
Flour mills shall be assessed &C
cording to value, in the discretion of
the county assessor.
Farm improvements and farm ma
chinery shall be assessed according
to it's value, at the discretion of the
county assessor.

year-8,113.8 lbs, or 942.75 gallons.
Crop of calves (living) 18 heifers,

Average of 343.75 Lbs. Butter.
An estimate based ON numerous
butter fat tests taken during the year
shows an average butter fat produc-
ton of 275 lbs. per cow, which is
equivalent to 343.75 lbs. of CONNER
cial butter.
Besides the above &c cows, some
Is others of the herd we're milking
during a part of the year. These
we're mostly heifers that freshened
with their first calves during the
year, but not early enough to get in
a full years record. The returns
from these are but little below the
above average.
When it is remembered that the
average cow in even SO good a dairy
state as Wisconsin,, which leads all
the states of the union in dairying,
produces only 175 lbs. of butter in a
year, there is encouragement in the
showing here presented.

Heavy Tractor Shipment.

That Harlem farmers expect to put
in big crops this year is evidenced by
the large shipment of farm tractors
unloaded there during the past few
days. Ten tractors of the small va
riety were lined up at one time on
the Great Northern right of way
waiting for the customers to come
for them. Owing to the heavy snow
all over this part of the country they
cannot be moved far for a while yet.
Accompanying the shipment is a set
of plows for each tractor.
