 Besides the above, give due atten- ton to the vegetable garden and the fruit orchard, and, where you put up one jar of fruit, jellies, preserves and all kinds of canned vegetables last year, put up two jars this year, at least plan to do so, and do your best to carry through your plans.
 If we strive to carry our a plan similar to the above, we will not only feed ourselves abundantly, but will have very large surplus for the out side world, and there is no doubt that all kinds of food products will com mand profitable prices, which in con- nection with high prices for a dimin- ished cotton crop, should certainly bring great prosperity to the south ern farmer, and the present agitation with it's spectacular features, will not have been in vain. Certainly the present is the time for everybody to display their patriotism, and while the above may be weak contribution to the thought of the hour, yet it is put forth with the hope that some body will be stimulated to make two blades ow grass grow where only one grew before"

PUBLIC LANDS ARE
WITHDRAWN FOR OIL

Helena, March S.-Approximately
100000 acres of land where gas and
oil are thought to exist, lying in
western Montana, mostly in the Great
Falls and Helena land office dis
tricts, have been withdrawn from
entry under the 640-acre homestead
law, by an order of President Will
son. Announcement of receipt of the
order has been made by the local
land office.
About 10000 acres of this land is
northwest of Augusta, Montana.
Some of the land withdrawn has
already been filed on by homesteaders
and they may retain the tracts, but
will have only surface rights.

C0MMENDS MASON
FOR HEROIC WORK

All Dutton, correspondent and car
toonist, favorably known in Montana
through his work with the daily news
papers. gives credit to Dwight N
Mason. Romans representative in the
Lower House, for Trojan work and a
keen sense of values as to meritor-
ious legislation. In recent issue OF
the Helena Independent he sketches
Mr.. Mason in caricature as chairman
of the Judiciary committee surround
cd by a wreck Of slaughtered bills
and exposed "jokers". and prints the
following appreciation of his legis-
lative service:
"Although the 18th legislative as.
sembly has passed on into history
the name of Dwight N. Mason, repre-
sentative from Missoula county, will
stand out as one of the foremost
members of the lower house. As
chairman of the judiciary committee
one of the most important of the as
'sembly. he handled more than 60 pei
cent of all bills introduced at this ses.
sion. HIS committee was known as
the judicial slaughterhouse" but il
is common knowledge that all the
bills which We're of merit received
favorable consideration by his com
mittee while those which were not
important were laid to rest quietly
and peacefully, That his committee
was also recognized for its conserv
atism is shown by the fact that all
resolutions which might have ten
dency to start trouble were referred
to his committee, never to be resur-
rected. Mr.. Mason is a practicing
attorney of Roman but he has just
been offered place as first deputy
county attorney of Missoula county
and it is probable that he will sOor
announce his acceptance. AS mem
Der of the 14th assembly, Mr.. Masor
occurred the passage of his mothers
pension law and at this session ht
put through some important change:
i'm this bill. He also introduced ;
bill lowering the maximum rate OF
interest He was one of the hardest
worked members of the house but
always on the job and rendered his
county and state efficient service.

ranch near Horte in operation and is
grinding -four and feed for all comers.
while the first mill was being hauled
Dan met with bad luck in getting his
mill started, as an accident happened
up from Dixon, which resulted in
breaking some of the machinery and
necessitating new machinery being
ordered. This has finally arrived and
the mill is now in operation.
The people OF Horte and vicinity
are to be congratulated OH securing
this mill, as it will be of great bene-
fit to them. Mr.. Syla is practical
miller and guarantees his flour to be
as good as any on the market. 1t will

CLUB
APPROVES FAIR

AT the regular meeting of the Com
mercial club held Tuesday evening
considerable business of Importance
was discussed. The attendance was
not large but those who were there
showed keen interest in some of the
matters before the club.
Committees reported that money
had been subscribed to assure the In
dependent Telephone company exten-
sions contemplated; that the recent
banquet was a financial success; that
the free public library had been
taken under the wing of the town
council, and other minor things.
President Bailey called attention
to the story in the Pioneer of a few
weeks ago, in reference to street
fair being held in Roman this fall
1t Immediately met with favorable
comment, and the scheme as present
ed through this paper was enlarged
upon and advocated by Stanley
Scarce and others. 1t was proposed
to hold stampede and carnival at
the same time, but some thopght the
undertaking would be beyond the pos
sibilitics of Roman at this time. To
finance such huge affair will re-
quire lots of cash. 1t was finally de-
cided to appoint a committee of three
to investigate and report back at the
next regular meeting and will do the
Investigating.

ing committees for the ensuing term

of securing same.
Aside from the material value to
Roman which would result from the
headquarters being moved here,
there is still another feature which
is of value to everybody under the
project. Roman is centrally located
and it has been officially declared
that there are more acres contiguous
to Roman which will be under irri-
cation when the project is completed
than any other town in the United
States. This fact should have much
weight in determining where the
headquarters of the project should
be located and probably has been the
controlling factor in moving. here.

JOHN P. SWEE CAN
DIDATE FOR MAYOR

A petition was in circulation the
first of the week placing John P.
Swee in nomination for the office of
mayor of Roman at the April election.
So far no platform has been an
nounced and just what position he
takes on the water question is un-

est of Roman at heart and will un-
doubtedly do everything in his power
for the welfare of the town.

PRESIDENT ARMS
MERCHANT MARINE

Armed American merchant vessels
will sink German submarines on sight.
This authority will be given to the
gunners aboard the American ships.
In reaching this decision the presi-
dent and his officials are guided by
the necessity of permitting the ves-
sells to save themselves from destruc-
tion,
In her submarine decree which COM
PEELED the president to break off re-
lations and subsequently to permit
the arming of merchantmen, Germany
announced her purpose to destroy
without warning any shipping ap-
preaching the British Isles, the At
lantic coasts of Europe or the harbors
of the eastern Mediterranean.
In other words, her submarines
were to sneak up on a vessel, whether
belligerent or neutral, and send it to
the bottom, without determining the
nationality of the craft or taking
measures for the safety of those ON
board.
The provisions of this decree have
been carried out by German sub
marine commanders. 1t is true that
two American vessels sunk were des-
troyed after warning, but belliger-
ent merchantmen upon which Amer
leans were travelling or serving as
members of the crew were sent to
the bottom without notice and with
out mercy.
| German submarines. which appear
to be somewhat considerate of Amer
lean ships now, are expected to at
tack the armed vessels without warm
ing. There is only one way, there
fore, in which these ships can be
saved; that is, by sinking German
submarine before it gets chance to
launch a torpedo.
What Germany will say in conse-
quence of the action of the President
in authorizing the arming of mer-
chant ships remains to be seen. Off
cials and diplomats are generally
agreed that she will regard the Pres
jdeDt's action as al act of war.
Whether Germany will formally de-
clare war, however, will be deter
mined at the conference which doubt
less now is being held between the
kaiser and his advisers.
Information of the decision of the
President has been communicated to
Berlin through the Swiss minister
at Washington, who has charge of
the German interests,
That Germany will hold that this
government has ranged itself defin-
itely on the side of the allies is un-
doubted in official and diplomatic
circles. That she will announce that
she will sink on sight armed mer-
chantmen flying the American flag is
equally undoubted. She may prefer.
however, to have hostilities without
technical war;
Germany's attitude respecting
armed merchantmen was thus de-
scribed ir an official memorandum
bar leG to the American ambassador
before his departure for Berlin:
"Frhe German government has no
doubt that a merchantmen assumes
q warlike character by armament
with gurs. regardless Of whether the
guns are intended to serve for de-
fense or attack"
In another memorandum appears
this declaration: "Aymed resistance
is contrary to intnin"ti ,nal law, Ec-
cause in military aeAse Il merchant
vessel is not permitted 20 defend
itself against war vessel, an act OF
resistance giving the Wa""!l'p tao
right to send the merchant s..ip to
the bottom with crew and pa>s'.a-
gers"
