MONTANA BOOZE
PARLORS VI Ill.
CLOSE JANUARY |

Statewide prohibition goes into eff
feet in Montana at midnight of De-
cember 81, this year. With the pass
ing of the saloon there will disappear
one of the picturesque institutions
of the west. AT one time the saloon
was an important feature in the So
cial life of the hardy pioneers of the
Treasure State.
In the early days when men we're
blazing the western trails, the saloon
followed them and, as a rule, was
among the first industries to set up
and transact business in the commu-
nifty. With a canvas for a top and
board bridging two boxes for a bar,
hospitality at so much a drink was
dispensed to the argOnauts.
AS communities prospered the own
err of the saloon or half way house"
waxed prosperous in proportion. The
barkeeper'S was a strenuous life, fof
those who sought the cheer he dis
pensed included miners, cowboys, IN
dian fighters, cattlemen, sheepmen,
the renegade and the neer-do-weIl.

Are Pastors Sons 'BIack Sheep"
CASE OF YOUNG DA Wis, $4,000
EMBEZZLER, RECALLSOLD SAYING

Are minister's sons black
sheep?" Is the old proverb true or
raise?
The strange case of young Ar
thur c. Davis, twenty-one, minis
ters son and $4,000 emDezZler, has
brought this question once more to
the fore. Pastors ought to know.
But pastors disagree.
Davis father is weM-known
pastor of Portland, Ore. The lad
married in his teens, had good
JOB as clerk in the East Side bank,
but ran into debt. When he kissed
his wife as though going to work,
with a suit case full of cash and
securities, there was one baby.
Now there are two.
The boy heard the tiny cry of
that baby seven hundred miles. 1t
brought him to his senses. Sur
rendering to a policewoman, he re-
turned most of the stolen money
and goes north to face trial, prob
ably before woman jury. His
wife is true to him.
Did Davis go wrong because he
is a ministers SOM
San Francisco pastors differ.
Rev. w. A. Cowden, First Pres
1T is not true that minister's
sons are handicapped. More is ex-
pected of them-that's all. This
alone has led to minister's sons,
more than any other class of men,
being good, doing good and making
good"
But Rev. John H. Poucher, Cen
trail Methodist church, differs:
Ministers children lead an I'M
natural existence. Everybody is
watching them. For that reason
they are likely to 'slop over
To this Rev. Thomas Parker, st.
PauPs Episcopal church, rather
agrees. He says:
"Unless a boy has full express
sion of himself, psychological trou-
BILE is likely to develop later In
minister's families there is often
repression due to an impractical
idea of religion. / doubt, however,
whether that is the general rule

High Meat Prices
Likely to Continue
For Long Time Yet

Peace will not bring cheaper meat
or more OF IL.
Wartime prices are likely to con-
tinue for several years after the war
is formally ended and food control
lers are memories. There is a pos
sibility prices may go even higher.
Meanwhile millions of families in the
United States and Europe will be
forced to continue meatless meals
and days.
This is indicated in the British
food ministry's survey of the food
situation, which emphasizes the vast
depletion of cattle in every country.
The survey also indicates similar
world wide shortages OF sugar, AMI
NAL fats, milk and the possibility or
soaring prices Of tea, coffee, rice;
sage. pepper, allspices and many dry
groceries.
1t is the after-the-war task OF the
allied food conference, composed OF
the food controllers of the United
States and allied nations, TO prevent,
so far as possible, world wide
scramble for food in the United
States and other countries after
peace is signed.
After-the-war price soaring is more
to be feared than war profiteering.
The British air ministry's statis-
ticians have compiled figures to show
the comparative increases in food
prices during the war.
Those countries in which the IN
crease has been greatest are the ones
now most short of food. The table Is
scaled from July, 1914, of which the
food prices are put at 100 per cent.
The table follows:

CATTLE TICK IS
BEING PUSHED To
SEA SHORE LINE
Only IS Counties in Coastal
Line of North Carolina Now
Infested With Pest That
Takes Heavy Toll

With additional territory being
cleaned up and released from quar-
antine on December /, 1918, only Is
whole counties in the coastal sec
tions of North Carolina are now in
tested with the cattle tick.
This work, which was begun in
1905, has been steadily pushed along
with funds furnished by the state de-
partment of agriculture and the
United States department of agri-
culture cooperating with the reSpec-
tive counties. If the next legislature
provides a small amount of funds for
the work, it is estimated that the
state can be easily cleared of the
tick during the year 1913.
Stock Law Needed
On account of the geographical To-
cation of the counties now infested,
it is very hard to make rapid prog
ress in cleaning this section entirely.
The lack of a stock law, and the
prevalence of free-range conditions,
however, furnish the greatest him
drance TO the work. This is appar-
pie of lick eradication is based on
the periodical dipping of infested
cattle in a poisoned solution. This
is difficult at all times, and at some
times impossible where the cows are
wild from having been living In the
SWampS. 1nOS0 cattle WHICH are IOb
dipped, of course, quickly infest such
as are free from the tick, making it
necessary to do the work over again.
In fact, it has been estimated that
1t will cost s127,S00, under free
range conditions, to clear up the re-
naming territory. If there were
stock-law conditions existing here,
the cost would be decreased to $751;
$50, with a much greater decrease In
the amount of time necessary to dc
the work.
Value Is Increased
DR.. william Moore. state veterina-
rian, has estimated that the increas-
ed value of these cattle in these
counties. If free from ticks, would
he $245. S41. According to DIR. Moore.
the passage of a statewide stock
law would be a most economical stem.
in that the department of agrtcul :
ture could save the money which '
now being put into this work each
wear, and could divert ii to other
rroiects for promoting agriculture.
'"This seems fair ALSO" saws Dr.
Moore, ''because those tavpayers not
in the quarantine area have wisely
gotten rid of the ticks long ago"
