WAR SHARES SUFFER
IN SHADOW Of PEACE

NEW YORK. October THE
shadow of peace fell on Wall street
this morning. giving traders an in
sight, according to their views. OF
what peace as an actuality would
mean to many corporations. in the
wiping out of wartime profits and
clipping fractions and points OFF their
going prices. bringing levels that
have not been reached for some time.
While throwing over war stocks the
search for peace shares was not much
pated in the general weakness of the
session.
The declines were quite serious.
Evidently the full control of the
money market is in strong hands and
no evidence of support to prices was
in sight.
In the first hour $4,000 shares
changed hands and the turnover in
the second hour seemed about as
large. the market continuing fairly
active right along.
Declines in First Hours.
AS an evidence of the weakness and
disposition to stand from under, the
following declines for the first two
points; Crucible Steel. 4 Is: Bethlehem
B shares. IN; Industrial Alcohol, ~;
Baldwin Locomotive, points; Republic
Iron and Steel, ~ points, and other
industrials in war group from frac-
lions to points
The line between peace and war
shares was strongly drawn. but the
declines in the former were out of all
proportion to the advances in the lat
ter.
Some utilities were up 2 points.
Motors and Marine preferred gaining
better than point. but Atlantic. Gulf
and West Indies lost l Y.
Union Pacific was by far the strong
est of the rails, advancing Is to 1913 y;
Reading only moved up a fraction;
Southern Railway was V higher; New
Haven Is and Canadian Pacific IN
better.
Partial Recovery of Losses.
After / o'clock the stock market
slowed down materially while the
pressure was withdrawn, and there
was a partial recovery of the losses
of the morning.
The lower prices did not inspire
much fresh buying and the rally was
due more to covering by professionals
who sold in the opening hour under
the temptation of promising profits.

Mergenthaler Peace Stock.
The Boston News Bureau has this
to say regarding Mergenthaler shares:
'"Tfere may be room for differences
of opinion as to the right Of many Sc
curities to be termed peace stocks
but there is hardly any doubt but
peace stock. Before the war Mergen-
thaler was regularly earning $780,

Commercial in New Quarters.
The Commercial National Bank took
possession of it's new bank building

ting on the finishing touches, but the
formal opening will not long be de-
layed.
The only floral tribute was box
of choice roses and ferns from the
President and Mrs. Wilson.
Want Early Closing Hour.
Many of the leading bank officials
were agitating today in favor of an
early closing hour. With heavily de-
pleted STATS. both of officials and en-
ployes, the burden of work on those
able to bear it is too heavy.
If there ever was an excuse for 2
o'clock closing it is intensified by the
vacant places today--victims of the
prevailing illness.

Thinks Rules Will Govern.

Though 1 cannot express an opin-
ion legally on the matter. we have
not had any reports showing where
this has been done" said Dr. Fowler.
II am firmly convinced that the rules
and regulations regarding the pre-
vention of spreading the disease,
when broadly interpreted, will domi-
nate the situation.
I'm my opinion. if war workers
from other communities come here to
work for the government. and obtain
rooms, landlords under the law re-
Gently promulgated can be compelled
to take them in, provided the disease
is contracted while the workers are
tenants. The facts that the disease is
contracted outside of the room should
not bar Remittance, in my opinion"

MAKE MANY LOANS

Helena, Aug. 6.-The report OF
Sidney Miller, register of state lands,
for May and June shows that the
net balance in the common school
and state educational, charitable and
penal institutions permanent funds
June 30th was 81 ,284 ,432.07. The re-
port shows also that the pending ap-
plications for farm loans amount to
$1,474,OOO. These applications ag-
gregate about 100000 more than
there is money on hand to loan.
However, it is probable that due
to reflections and to reductions in
applications when all the loans now
pending are passed upon the two
items will balance. This is the first
time since the State Board of Land
Commissioners has exceeded the to-
tai of the money on hand.
During May and June, 167 farm
loan mortgages We're made, amount
ing to $359,50O. The entire total of
farm loans to June 3Oth is 68T,
amounting to $1,571, ,820.
The investments during May and
June aggregated SAL, 500 of which
$780,, 400 was in farm loans and the
balance in school funds.

self defense.
Mcdonald died almost immediate
ly after he was shot.
Cain came to town at once after
the shooting and gave himself up to
the authorities. He told simple
straight forward story of the distress
ing incident. Mcdonald had come to
his place about 2:3O o'clock yester-
day and threatened to kill both Cain
and Gains hired man, Bill Hagger-
ty. According to eye witnesses he
backed the man Haggerty up against
hay wagon and made motion to
pull a six shooter on both Cain and
Haggerty. Cain climbed up on the
wagon loaded with alfalfa and with
gun brought to the fields to hunt a
coyote, shot Mcdonald as he made
this motion to whip out the six shoot
er. The bullet entered McDonald's 5
breast on the right side directly ov-
er the lung. After he had been shot
Mcdonald walked a few feet from
the wagon and fell over. He was

HUBBAND WILL TRY
WINTER WHEAT

c. T. Hubbard, one of our farmer
friends residing near Flaxville,
brought to the Democrat office Mon
day a number of stalks of Red Tur-
key winter wheat that grew on his
farm this season, says the Flaxville
Democrat. The heads, many of
which contain six rows of kernels,
are lengthy and well filled, in fact
seem little affected by the prevailing
drought. The wheat went through
the severe winter unharmed. This
spring the ground, consisting of
about two acres was seeded to bar
ley, the wheat growing with it. A
little later Mr.. Hubbard will go
through the field and pic;, the wheat
which will be of sufficient amount to
furnish seed for a good start.
Mr.. Hubbard is naturally quite en-
thusiastic over it and intends to give
the experiment thorough trial.

S. r. Maxwell, who at one time was a

recently left the services of the
League under a cloud and has sold

get revenge.
In the short time that he had

REV" Maxwell had produced notl.-

minor capacity IN his hone state of
Colorado. Despite his small ability
he had ambitions to become United

he found that the League was sus-
picious of all oficeseekers, and that
it has a standing rule against any
of its employees running for Office, he
attempted to seize control of the
Colorado branch of the League.
Failing in this effort to hoodwink
the farmers, he professed repentance
and was allowed to take up work for
the League in Minnesota, where he
would be directly under the eye of
the national headquarters. There
were several occasions when he came
in conflict with the leaders of the
League. One of them was when he

FOOT CRUSHED BY TRACTOR,
FARMER WALKS MILE FOR AID

Marvin E. Hill, better known to
his many friends as Ed, who lives
about 5 miles east of Outlook, was
the victim of most unfortunate ac-
cident Wednesday evening about Q
o'clock, when his left foot was
crushed in the engine clutch gearing
of his tractor. He managed to stop
the tractor and walked a mile to the
house and Mrs. Hill summoned their
neighbor, Wallace Sundberg, who
came over and drove Ed. and Mrs.
Hill to Plentywood for medical aid
that same evening. Ed. is now rest
ing nicely at the Leland hotel here.
It seems that Mr.. Hill was just
about to finish his last field of sum-
mer plowing and had only two more
rounds to make when belt and pull
ley slipped off the engine. Ed. no.
ticed this and to save the pulley from
being plowed under, he lifted his
foot to kick in the clutch and stop
the tractor. While he was in the
act of kicking in the clutch, his foot
slipped into the clutch gearing and
was badly crushed before he could
pull it out. He managed to stop the
engine and then walked to the house,
a distance of about a mile. When
DIR. Campbell dressed the foot it was
found that the bones in the instep
were broken and it is doubtful Wheth-
er the biz toe will be saved.

He was Well received and even the
old gang political derehcts, who, be-
ing rudderless drifted in, sometimes
almost applauded. After Stoddard,
Miss Rankin came upon the platform
accompanied by Senator Stoner and
Sheridan County's next farmer Rep
resentative J. S. Nyquist, and was
accorded hearty ovation. Her ad-
dress appealed directly to the women
and to the producers and the vast
audience was held in rapt attention
until She had finished her speech.
The same night a meeting was held
at Brush Lake at eight o'clock. On
the platform with Miss Rankin, Jens
Hansen, the well known Dagmar
farmer, and one of the State Execu-
tive Committee of the League, pre-
sided as chairman and the League
candidate for office in this county
were seated. Jack Bennett was in
troduced and made a few remarks.
He was followed by Clair Stoner, J.
S. Nyquist, J. J. Gunther and Rex
Movius, who all made short talks.
Miss Emma Crone of Whitehall, the
only lady farmer organizer for the
League, made an interesting address.
Miss Rankin's reception by the Dag
mar farmers was a duplicate of the
Plentywood meeting. The people of
Dagmar are solidly behind the
League program and tics;et and will
accord to Miss Rankin their solid
support as she is needed in the Sen
ate to represent the farmers and
farmers wives.
Miss Rankin was entertained for
the evening at the farm home of A.
Ir. Larson near Dagmar. Mr.. Lar
son then took her to Sidney on We'd
nesday where she spoke to a large
crowd.
