GAMBLING IN FUTURES"

The farmers of southern Indiana
are said to have tried typical Wall
Street game with their own potato
crop. They "sold short" When the
price rose last fall to $3.50 and 81 a
bushel, many of the farmers sold all
the potatoes they had, including those
they would ordinarily have reserved
for seed. They believed that when the
bulk of the northern crop was put on
the market, the price would drop, and
they could easily get all the seed
they wanted for much less than their
own crops brought.
Now they are facing the necessity
of buying seed potatoes at as high as
$3.50 and 81 a bushel. And many of
them say they hesitate to plant any
potatoes at all this year, lest there
should be big production and they
should receive less for their crop
than the seed cost.
Farmers of various sections have
probably had a similar experience.
And it has been salutary warning
to them. They can't be blamed for
initiating the stock spectators, but
it's always a perilous proceeding to
gamble in futures"

temperature of 16 degrees. The high
est temperatur was 48 degrees on the

LOCAL GUARD COMPANY
GETTING READY TO LEAVE
Company G Will Probably Be
Ordered to Mobilization Camp
Within a Few Days.

Orders were received this morning
by Lieutenant Sternhagen, in COM
mand of Company G, to recall all re-
cruiting parties and to await further
orders. This is interpreted as mean
ing that the local company will soon
receive instructions to proceed to the
mobilization camp at Fort Harrison.
The local company now numbers
over 80 men, and in case the number
necessary for a war strength company
is not secured here, it will be filled
up with recruits secured in other
cities.
The local boys have been drilling
and the "rookies" are mastering the
manual of arms and foot movements
with amazing rapidity. They are a
likely-looking lot and are fast acquir-
ing the rudimeats of military knowl-
edge.

Plans are being made for the 1917
baseball season in Glasgow. w. B.

ager, and all the fans and fannettes
have confidence that "Shoe" will make
good pilot. Every one is optimis-

thing like an even break, we ought to

A baseball team in this city has
become an institution. We cannot get
along without them. Baseball is
about the only recreation we have
during the summer months, and good
baseball, played by a winning team
helps a town in more ways than one.
But there are many obstacles to be
overcome before the team will have
smooth sailing. The fence and grand
stand must be practically rebuilt,
even before organizing team can be
thought of. The matter Of securing
funds to do this work and carry the
team through the season is no small
job, and we hope that every public

FARMERS WARN sWINDLERS

The farmers of Dakota county, Ne
braska, have combined against the
city "slicker." They are determined
that none of their number shall buy
a city hall or courthouse or railroad
station of some smooth talking, affa-
BILE stranger. Nor are they going
to be coaxed into purchasing herd
of wild horses in Arizona or stock
in a gold mine that is going to make
them millionaires in a few weeks.
Not if they know it.
The "anti-slicker" organization is
to be known as the Farmers Protec-
tive association. Anybody with a
speculative proposition who encount-
ers one of these Dakota county farm
ers must submit his proposition to all
the members at meeting and be
ready with proofs that it is all he rep
resents it to be. Only one sort of
speculative enterprise is barred from
consideration. The Farmers Protec-
tive association will entertain no wire

movement to have a new grandstand
and a good ball team.
The job of being manager of a
baseball team in a town the size of
Glasgow, is a thankless one at the
most. But when you consider the
joy, excitement and real sport we get
from seeing a game, a team is well
worth the price and effort.
If everybody will pull together, we
can have one of the finest ball parks
in the state before the season is over
and winning team of which the city
may be proud. And without ball

TAX DODGERS TO
BE PROSECUTED
Assessor C0ttrell States That All
Violations of Assessment
Laws Will Be Taken Up.
PROVIDES PENALTY FOR NfRACTl0N
Several Cases Have Already Come
Up-Will Not Be As Lenient AS
in Former Years to Will
full ViOlatOrs.

It has come to the notice Of AS
SCISSOR B. H. Cottrell that there are
some people in the county who have
an utter disregard for the oath they
take when they sign an assessment
list. He has found that already this
season that some persons have ne
elected to give a full list Of their
property, and in some cases it is but
a recurrence of their actions in former
years. In some cases it may be an
oversight, but in the majority it is
willful neglect and an attempt to es-
cape taxation.
To correct this evil, Assessor Cot
trell has emphatically stated that he
is going to, and will prosecute any
cases that he runs across or are
brought to his attention. It is very
serious ,offense, and the penalty is
not worth the attempt to "dodge"
taxes.
In former years Mr.. Cottrell has
been very lenient in such cases, and
the property, which had been omitted,
was added to the assessment lists
without much being said. But this
year, all this will change. Those who
sign the oath on the list must be
ready to bear the consequences, which
are contained in the following sec
tions from the Revised Codes Of Mon
tana:
Section 2515. "If statement re-
fused, how assessment made" If any
person, after demand made by the
assessor, neglects or refuses to give,
under oath, the statement herein pro-
vided for, or to comply with the 9TH
er requirements of this title, the as
SCISSOR must note the refusal on the
assessment book opposite his name,
and must make an estimate of the
value of the property Of such person,
and the value so fixed by the assessor
must not be reduced by the board of
county commissioners.
Section 2541. "Property, concealed,
etc." Any property wilfully con-
cealed, removed, transferred or mis-
represented by the owner or agent
thereof, to avade taxation, upon dis
covery, must be assessed at not ex-
ceeding 10 times it's value, and the as
sessment so made must not be re-
duced by the board of county commits
sioners.

frigerating plant in the basement of
their modern store building.
The plant will be the only one of

SHERIFF WILL GUARD
AGAINST HOSTILE ACTS
Precautions Will Be Taken to
Guard Against Plots or Acts
Against the Government.

A letter received from U. S. Mar
shall Jos. L. Ashbridge by Sheriff
Powell, urges him to cooperate in
order to prevent any outbreaks in this
vicinity. Mr.. Ashbridge's suggestions
follow:
"It has been suggested to me by the
attorney general that in view of the
present unsettled condition of the
country's foreign affairs it is impor-
tant that every available precaution
should be taken to guard against acts
hostile to the interests and welfare
of the people and the government of
the United States, and to this end to
use all possible loyal instrumental
ties now in existence to secure gen.
eral and constant vigilance in detect
ing and thwarting hostile and un-
friendly acts and in discovering those
who are engaged in them before they
can accomplish their purpose.
"To this end, it has been further
suggested by the attorney general
that, if it met with my approval un-
der all the circumstances, I secure the
active and earnest cooperation of
you and your deputies as we'll as that
of such other sheriffs and their dep
uties within my district, as might
think advisable for the purpose of
furnishing all possible aid in the de-
lection of persons whose disposition
is unfriendly to the United States or
who are about to engage in plots or
acts against the peace and security
of the people and the government,
and to request you and your deputies
to communicate promptly to me all
facts, which you may ascertain as to
such persons and acts.
"Should you consent to give this
cooperation, you are requested:
First. To have your deputies alert
and vigilant by observation and in
quiry to discover facts about any
hostile person or plots, and to enlist
the aid of the people of their imme-
date neighborhoods to the same end.
Second. To report promptly to
you, or under SPECIAL circumstances
direct to me, all facts and circum-
stances connected with such hostile
persons or plots, after investigating
the same as fully and quietly as pos
sible, giving a statement of the facts
secured, the names and addresses of
the persons who have knowledge of
the facts and an estimate of the re-
liability of such persons, their busi-
ness standing in the community, etc.
You are cautioned in carrying out
these suggestions to avoid any action
which would tend to stir up the for
eign population of the country by
unwarranted arrests or to cause ap-
prehension on the part of such popu-
lation of unfair treatment and to ar
range that all contemplated arrests,
in so far as the circumstances will
permit, be submitted to the proper
federal officers for consideration be-
fore such action is taken.

All Records Broken by Great

Settlers.
BRING LIVESTOCK and MACHINERY
Minnesota and North Dakota Lead in
Number of Emigrants to Mon
tana-Many Expect to put
in Crop.

T1aVFe, OUU CARLOADS Oh emlSTanL mOVe-
ables have been brought into Montana
over the Great Northern road within
the past three weeks.
This breaks all records, says an
item in the Havre Promoter, although
it was nearly equalled three years ago.
Many of the carloads contained
livestock and the character of the
equipment indicated that the shippers
were not mere land seekers, but had
Location already selected and had
plans made for an immediate develop
ment of their lands.
The cars were consigned to points
between Bainville and Cut Bank. In
a single day ITO carloads were started
westward from Williston. Ten car
loads were unloaded the other day at
Oswego. For Wolf Point there was a
consignment of 48 carloads from one
section of central Indiana.
Each of these 600 carloads is esti-
mated to represent a family Of five
members each, or 5000 settlers for the
northern section of Montana within
less than a month. If each of the GOO
families puts in but Is acres of crop
this year, it means $4,000 additional
acres under cultivation. If put into
fax and the yield should average Is
bushels per acre, it would produce a
harvest of 225.0OO bushels. If sold at
$3.50 per bushel, the newcomers would
have added S562, 900 to the wtalth of
the northern part of the state.
Showing the record-breaking thrush
of settlers to Montana for March the
livestock importations for the month
just closed totaled 1878 shipments
against 1913 shipments for March a
year ago, according to the figures COM
piled by the Office force Of DR.. w. j.
Butler, state veterinarian.
February showed 334 and January
80 this year, a grand total for the
three first months of 1917 of 1,706
shipments.
The livestock shown as tested and
included in the shipments for March,
1917, are: Horses, 1878; cattle, 1914;
swine, 1913. The March record of 1916
shows: Horses, 1856; cattle, 6,722;
swine, 72.
Practically all the cattle brought in
this year are dairy stock, which was
not the case year ago when many
beef cattle came in March.
The total for the first three months
of the year are: Horses 11,171; cattle,
SLIT; swine, 297.
OF the 81 states shown in the list,
shipments were heaviest from Mime
sofa, 1888; North Dakota, 294; Iowa,
