"COLD TEA" HAS BIG
SALE IN DRY STATE

Spokane.-That the "cold tea" H.
quor swindle disclosed by the discov-
cry of 60 pints "bottled in bond" at
the county Jail has been carried on
successfully for months with trans
continental trains as the favorite field
became known at the court house yes
terday. According to reports, one
swindler sold "cold tea" on trains en-
tering the state recently, clearing $4O0
from his victims. He approached the
travellers who looked thirsty and gave
them a peep of bottle of the "cold
tea" under whisky stamp and label.
The victims were told not to open the
bottles until they reached home. Two
hundred bottles of the "cold tea" sold
like hot cakes at 81 a bottle. When
the victims reached home they found
the bottle contained just what the
bootlegger had said, "cold tea"

WARNS REGISTRANTS

Everyone of the many thousands of
registered men in Montana must
watch out for his own interests and
see that his own case is dealt with,
whether notified by the local board or
not, according to ruling promulgat-
ed by Provost Marshall General Crow
der.
Ignorance or Indifference on the
part of any registered man, no matter
if he holds certificate of exemption
or deferred classification from the
first draft, exposes him to the loss of
valuable legal rights and possible inn
prisonment, General Crowder holds.
General Crowder directs the atten-
tion of all registered men to the effect
that they are charged with knowl.
edge of the conscription law and the
regulations governing it.

13. We ask all retailers to urge
the sale of such articles as soup stock
and materials, peas, rice, barley, fresh
vegetables and fresh and canned cove
oysters.
Ia. To the end that the country's
industries and their workers may be
maintained at the greatest efficiency,
and that any unreasonable profits or
speculation in food staples may be
eliminated, we pledge ourselves to the
United States government not to sell
any Of the fundamental necessaries (as
announced by the president of the
United States in his Licensing Pro-
clamation of October 8, 1910 at a
margin of profit over the delivered
cost to the merchant that will yield
to him more than a reasonable living
profit, irrespective of the market con.
ditions at time of resale; and we
pledge ourselves to urge other gro
GERS, whether under the licensing plan
or not, to the end that margins of
profit by retail grocers throughout
the country over the cost to them
shall not be greater than prevails un-
der normal conditions. We urge that
each retail grocer act individually,
and that he sell the staple foods at
no greater profit than is reasonable
in accordance with their cost, and his
individual cost of doing business, as
sanctioned by the U. S. food admin
istration.
Is. We earnestly urge the members
and officers of every association of
retail grocers as we'll as individual
grocers in their respective communi-
ties, to advocate these principles per-
sistently in their local associations,
and to other retail grocers of the
country, that nthis grave national
crisis, when our country needs us
most, we may not fail vigorously to
uphold the needs of the government
and to do our utmost toward a speedy
and triumphant conclusion of our war
against Germany.

CHAIN LETTER CIRCULATION

The following chain letter is now
being circulated in Valley county and
every person should do his utmost to
discourage these letters so that they
will be stopped:
"Dear Friend: At the request of

MAY CHANGE FARM LOAN LAW

Important changes in the farm loan
bank system are the features of the
first annual report of the federal farm
loan bo.rd made public recently. The
board recommends that borrowing
through farm loan associations be
tried fol another year before making
borrowing more direct; that the maxi
mum which can be loaned to any one
borrower be raised from $4,000 to
$4,000 ind that farm loan bonds be
issued in denominations of $50 and
$40.
The btard also recommends that
congress authorize the treasury to
take up S1OO,OOO,OOO of farm loan
bonds to counterbalance the with
drawal of foreign and domestic capi-
tai from the farm loan field as con-
sequence If war financing.

THOUSANDS OF BUSHELS NEEDED
Farmers Need Financial Help to Buy
Seed for Spring. Special Session
of Legislature Called in
North Dakota.

The problem of supplying seed to
farmers in Montana who were affect
ed by last years drouth as yet re-
mains unsolved.
The board of county commissioners
has been working on plan which
would enable farmers to obtain seed,
but the quantity required is so enor-
nous that it is almost out of the
question for the county to render any
material assistance.
It is possible that the $6,OOO,OO
appropriation asked of congress will
be of some help in relieving condi-
tions, but this money is not free
gift offering. 1t will simply be used
to buy seed which the government
will then sell to the farmers for spot
cash at cost. Farmers will have to
make their own arrangements to Sc
cure the cash for the purchase of the
seed.
The government seed supply does
not contemplate the financing of seed
purchased by farmers. 1t will, how
ever, save the profits charged by deal
ers and the freight out and back on
seed kept within the state.
Montana's allotment of the federal
seed appropriation is about half
million dollars. 1t is expected that
60 per cent of this allotment will be
used in purchasing seed oats, 20 per
cent for barley and 20 per cent fer
flax.
The U. S. grain buying corporation,
under the management of Mr.. julius
Barnes of New York, has been re-
quested, with the endorsement of the
U. S. department. of agriculture, to
purchase and hold 100000 bushels of
seed spring wheat for Montana. in
addition to the oats, barley and flax
previou,ly mentioned.
For the purpose of working out a
remedy for the seed shortage in
North Dakota, Governor Frazier has
called special session of the legis-
lature. The county seed bonding law
will be revised so that the necessary
seed and feed can be supplied to as
sure good crop acreage planted next
year.
The Glasgow Chamber of Commerce
and agriculture has fostered a move
ment to have Governor Stewart call a
special session in this state to work
along tie same lines.

LIBERAL LAWS FOR
HOMESTEADERS IN WAR
Entry Rights of Men in Army
Protected By Law Recently
Passed BY Congress.

More liberal regulations governing
entry rights of men in army service
are contained in the act of congress
which became a law October 6, pro-
viding, in effect, that men in service
may make affidavits relating to home
stead o. contest entry of whatever
character before their commanding
officer. A summary of the new law
follows:
During the continuance of the pres
ent war with Germany and until his
discharge from service, any man serv-
ing in the armed forces of the United
States who, prior to the beginning of
his service, was a settler, an appli-
cant, or entryman under the land laws
of the United States, or who has,
prior to enlistment, filed a cintest
with a view of exercising the prefer
ence right of entry therefor, may
make an affidavit required by law or
regulation of the department., affect
ing such application, entry, or con-
tract, or necessary to the making of
entry in the case of the successful
termination of such contest awarding
him preference right of entry, before
his commanding officer as provided
in section 2293 of the revised statutes
of the United States, which affidavits
shall be as binding in law and with
like penalties as if taken before the
register of the United States land
office"
Since the enactment of section 2293
United States revised statutes, an
applicant for homestead entry has
been permitted to execute his appli-
cation before his commanding officer
where it is shown that his wife or
minor child is residing on the land
in question. The law is not changed
by the present legislation, and an
application may, under those circum-
stances, be thus executed, even though
the homestead claim was not initiated,
by settlement or otherwise, before the
applicants entrance into the military
service. In such cases the no mineral
affidavit may be executed by the wife
or by minor child if he is of such
age as to intelligently make the re-
quired oath. However, if the claim
was not initiated prior to the mans
enlistment no credit may be given
on account of the period of his SER
vice.
The present act extends the privi-
| lege of executing an affidavit in con-
nection with claim under any of the
public-land laws before the party's
commanding officer only to such per-
sons as had initiated their claims prior
to enlistment. If this had not been
done by the filing of an application
for the land or of a contest against
a pending entry therefor, and the
claim is based only on an alleged set
tlement under the homestead laws or
on possession held pursuant to the
desert-land laws, he must, in the first
affidavit executed by him under the
provision of this act, set forth the
facts showing its initiation prior to
