pass the other necessary requirements.
Just this week Miss Clark received
notice from the Northern Division that
20 Nurses Aids are wanted before
September /. Calls will be made at
intervals as the need arises.
Applicants for OVERSEAS work must
have some knowledge of the French
language and must be over 20 years
of age. The restriction regarding
women being refused who have rela-
tives in the service has been waived
because of the increasing need for
nurses aids.
The courses were given by Miss
Tillman and Miss Clark and those in
Miss Clark's class who successfully
passed met at the Glasgow studio and
had their pictures taken. In this
group were the following: Mesdames
Hubbell, O'Toole, Parsons, c. T.
Peterson, Roberts, Reuler, Tattan'
Mcfarland, Mix, Otto Christinson
Flaharty, Quackenbush, olattery, anu
Voter.

Miss Tillman's course are Misses
Ethel Belzer, Clara S%ponheim, Esther
X. Lien, Dorothy Behner, Mary
Cutting, Daisy Peters, Zita Fried
Rua Conant and Mesdames DEWEY
A. N. Peterson, Rumble and Cutting
AS many signed up too late to b.
admitted to the first classes Mis-
Clark has consented to repeat tn
course for their benefit. The mem
bers of the new class met Monda,
night and organized. Mrs. Belv'

since coming here.
There is corn, potatoes and toma--
toes. And the long ows Of sugar
beets help to bring out the fact that
this garden is primarily a war gar
den and the Recess plan to make their
own sugar for the coming winter.
C%auliflower, cucumbers, cabbages
occupy another section, and the lacy
like leave of the carrots r a tempt
alton almost too strong to resist if
your are a carrot fan, and it is al
gether probable that Mrs. Reece will
guess your secret longings and pull
up a nice long yellow root for you to
nibble at.
People have been fortunate to have
been invited there for dinner. And
that is sure some event. Something
to write home about. If it is in the
summer everything comes from the
garden. Nice plump fries, potatoes,
roasting ears, tomatoes and cucum-
Der salads, many, many other good
things ending up with a big dish OF
strawberries from the Reece patch.
Altogether Mr.. and Mrs. Reece are

REECE GARDEN Is
CLASCOW'S FLOWERLAND
Local Beauty Spot Blossoms Out
LOvlier Than Ever This
Cnasnn.

How many people hailing into Mon
tana from the east, west or middle
west have exclaimed as they stepped
under the arch of blossoms marking
the entrance to the Reece flowerland in
the west end Of town: "Why it's just
like home!"
To that honey look and the hospi-
table greeting one always receives
when calling there may be attributed
the ever increasing popularity OF the
place. The Recess love their garden
and it is a joy to them to show their
friends around.
The first sensation one has on en-
tering through the east gate is to
have their breath taken away by the
thousands of varieties of colored
sweet peas nodding in p%rofusion at
either side of the path. Looking down
one sees some lovely single and dou-
BILE canterbury bells, asters of all col
ors with a variety of other flowers
and dainty greenery.
After the joyously dizzy walk tc
the vine covered house from the gate
has been accomplished the visitor is
greeted by many new delights. Some
little pink flowers are climbing ove1
the porch, and being different from
most other flowers one has to fine
out all about them before proceeding
towards the rest of the garden. Vivi'
pansy beds, mor asters and still
more sweet peas surround you as yo'
walk along the side of the house ant
the tall, stately stalks of the gorgeou'
golden glow tempt you to pick on
and to try out again the old child
hood formula of putting n unde
your chin to see if you like butter.
After satisfactorily trying tn
swing in the vine sheltered summe
house the visitor is induced to forge
the flowers for a time and to g
through the vegetable garden, wher
he is pretty apt to discover JUS
about everything green he likes t.
eat, things that most folks grew VI

The Glasgow women who took the
Nurses Aid course as offered by the

that the question was deserving of
serious consideration and demands
the best efforts and support Of every
good citizen and the City Council and
Board of County Commissioners ex-
pressed their willingness to cooperate
with the National and State organiza-

COTTON PROFl7EERlNG
Survey Made by Banking House
for the market" Shows
145 Per Cent. Profits.

The cost of producing the 1917-18
cotton crop was 11.2S cents a pound.
The average price obtained for the
crop was 275 cents.
The cotton planters net profit on the
l917-1S crop was 1912 cents pound,
or a little over 145 per cent.
These figures are furnished to the
market" by the banking house of III.
F. Bachman & Co. of New York city.
one of the largest cotton brokers In
the country. They are based on sur
vey of over 1000 cotton growing coun-
ties In the South. The survey was
made by Mr.. James L. Watkins, ST..
formerly Chief Cotton Statistician Of
the U. s. Department Of Agriculture.
The "cost" includes every possible
item of expense, including even the
price of bacon and cornmeal, which
many cotton planters furnish their
negro labor.
The cost Of producing the 1918-19
crop, just coming into the market, will
not exceed that Of the 1917-1S crop,
as the Watkins survey was made this
year, after the 1918 crop was PICK
ed and marketed, since which time
there has been little or no increase in

VOTE AGAINST DENT.

Dent Of Alabama is chairman Of the
House Committee on Military Affairs.
As such he fought the enactment OF
the law under which the United States
created the Army of Victory, which
Is now driving the Hun out Of France
and Belgium. He fought against this
bill while it was in his committee. He
fought 1t when 1t came up for passage
In the House.
You can cast your vote against Dent
by voting for the Republican candi-
date for Congress In your district. II
the Republicans carry Congress Dent
of Alabama loses his craftsmanship.
Kahn, Republican, Of California, who
led the fight for the draft law when
Dent went back on the President,
would get Dents job If the Republic
ans carry Congress.
Democratic Alabama will send Dent
back to Congress, again to fight the
President. It's up to you to render
his opposition harmless by helping
elect Republican Congress which will
replace Dent with Kahn.

VOTE AGAINST KITCHIN.

Kitchin of North Carolina is chair
man of the Ways and Means Commit
tee. AS such he directs the revenue
measures. He was opposed to the war.
He opposed the draft law. He said 1t
was a northern war and he was going
to make the North pay for it. He has
carried out his threat so far. He has
framed tax bills which weigh heavily
on northern industry and capital. He
has opposed making cotton paying Its
share of the war expense. His idea
of national finance Is to soak the
northern business man and northern
farmer.
You can't keep Kitchln out of Con-
gress. Democratic North Carolina will
send him back. But you can put kitch-
In and his associates in the minority
by electing Republican Congress.
You can vote against Kitchin by vot-
Ing for the Republican candidate for
Congress In your district.

Capitalization Of Power Which
Is Remindful Of

Washington. D.. C.-The Democratic
party controls Congress. The South

The South controls Congress and die

Nearly every important committee
in the Senate has Southern Demo-
crat for Its chairman. Among these
are the Committees on Appropriations,
Commerce, District Of Columbia.

Even the ehaIrmanships allotted 70

'cIose corporation" Out Of 81 House

them, are kept within the Democratic
membership from nine Southern states.
Never In the history of this republic
has the power Of determining national
policies ever been concentrated In the
hands of few men or so monopolized
by a handful Of states. 1t unpleasantly
reminds one Of the manner in which. by
similar methods, the state of Prussia
is able to dictate to the entire German
Empire, regardless Of the will or
wishes or interests Of the other states
Of Germany.

party In power the majority of each
committee. The only way to change
this is to place the Republicans In pow

States have chairmanships.
AS II now Is Senators from Southern
states, with sectional prejudices, are
holding monopoly of the direction of
practically all important rational poll

activities of the nation. They direct

so add TO the traffic burdens OF the Dl
rector Generals railroads. Big incomesf
Yes, tax 'em; but if you tax unearned
and earned incomes just the same what
is TO hinder the big income Garner from
initiating the !. w. VS. and stacking
down on his output-no, not because he is
shirker, but because he won't have
enough left to go on with the game.
Take exploitation and development
work for instance, such as in gold mining
or in "wildcatting" to find an oil well, or
prospecting for gas location. Well
suppose man has spent twenty years Of
his life as n mine developer. He has
blown in, say $1,000 or $4,000 year
Of money borrowed from his friends for
twenty years, and he has lost it. Every
mining camp and mining market is full
of such men. Then finally he finds one
wonderful lucky strike.
This particular strike has cost him only
$4,000 and he sells it for $1,000, 900.
He can deduct the $4,000 from the
81 600, 900 all right, but he can't deduct
the 100000 lost on locations that didn't
pan out.
Now he will have left to be assessed
1890, 900. Is that TO I've regarded as ex
cess profits, war profits, incomeH For the
Government will have the right to tax the
deal as either excess profits OF war profits,
according to which will yield the larger
revenue; and if you take so per cent, or
even G7 per cent. off 1890, 900, and then
tax the distribution Of what is left for
the mans partners as income tax-fgurc
it for yourself-you are not going to
have enough left TO pay that man and his
friends the $4,000 they have already
lost.
No Encouragement to Keep On.
You are not going to have enough to
encourage that man and his friends to go
on and find more gold mines. You are
taxing the goose that lays the golden egg
as if it were bird of paradise, and when
you chop its head eff there won't be any
more eggs.
Cases are actually on record in which
of the sums taken out Of some exploita-
tons, like gold mining, oil drilling, &C.,
when the corporation has paid excess
profits, normal tax and individual income
taxes, the men who backed the venture
will have less than 6 per cent. left. Now
6 per cent to-day is a very low return. 1t
doesn't pay for the risk. 1t doesn't accu-
mulate capital TO 60 ahead and do the
thing over again.
One example is enough. 1t is a well
known case in Oklahoma, which dis
guise slightly because l would not other
wise have the right 10 publish a mans
private affairs.
The man had induced ten friends to
club together, putting up 5000 each,
making total invested capital of $780,
600. II doesn't matter much whether this
was for oil, gas, gold, silver. The same
tax conditions attach to each, and the
