policies laid down by Secretary Baker.
These are, first, that no men of draft

called iha many civilian beyond the

lciently with civilians shall be placed
IN a military footing by commission

work.
The problem Of commissions in tho
various staff departments Of fhe army
hat have 10 do with the supply lines,
transportation construction and a hum
ired other noncombatant functions Of

lave been numerous cases of young
men OF draft age who have obtained
commissions in those services. and thcy

the desire Of Secretary Baker, ap-
oarently. 10 keep this element of the
commissioned personnel Of the army at

lody Of the drafted men and to pre-
.ent any suggestion that men Of draft
age have found shelter in the COM
nissioned grades Of The noncombatani
branches Of the service from The li-

The policy is founded on The theory
that there are older men in civil life

quired 10 whom such commissions
could be given, leaving the men of draft

1t costs less to- live in Missoula
than in any other Montana city, ac-
cording to figures announced in
Billings by G. r. Wrath, who is
said to have compiled statistics for
the Anaconda Copper Mining COM
pany. Great Falls and Anaconda
are the most expensive home
towns: Butte ranks Just below
them.
The report says that the figures
are based on the prices of stan
dard, high class goods. Quotations
were secured in the principal cities
of the state. Eight cities were con-
sidered. They rank as follows:
Great Falls and Anaconda, Butte,
Helena, kewistown. Billings, Boze-
man and Missoula.
Missoula, the report says. pays
more for meat than do Helena,
