American troops have been turned
over to the allies for such use as
they see fit to make of them. Amer
lean troops may soon be fighting
side by side with their British and

1t is enough to say that great ac-

in the entire American zone. Miles
of motor trucks loaded with Amer
leans have passed through the towns
some going in one direction, some
in another. Through a driving rain
the motor trucks plowed their way
along muddy roads, the Americans
singing. Many OF the trucks had
American flags fastened to their
tailboards.
On other roads mile after mile

through the mud which came over
their ankles. The horses were steam

KANSAS CITY STRIKE
TIE-UP CONTINUES
BAKERIES CAN FURNISH NO
BREAD-CAR WALKOUT
MAY END SOON.

Kansas City, Mo, April l.-With
,prattically every bakery in Kansas
City closed today as a result Of the
union bakers participating in the
sympathy strike which has been in
effect here for several days, the
Inconvenience of doing without
bread is added to the list Of closed
barber shops, laundries, restaurants,
and uncertain transportation sery-
ice.
Chas. B. Howard Smith, presi-
dent of large bakery concern here,
said today that bakeries represent
ing 95 per cent of the output were
closed and that none of these had
any bread left over with which to
supply the public.
Hope in a settlement Of the street
car walkout today was expressed
by w. D. Mahon OF Detroit, inter
national president of the Amalga-
mated Association Of Street and
Electric Railway Employees. The
statement was made following a
conference between Mahon and p.
!. Kealy, president Of the Kansas
City Railway Company. 1t was be-
lieyed that a solution of the street
car tieup would have a tendency
to bring together other elements
of the general sympathy strike,
which was inaugurated as a result
of a laundry workers strike.
Further conferences Of federal
mediators with employers and union
leaders were expected today.
Guarded street cars continue to
run on some of the lines.

and the other striking Waddington
in the arm, entering the flesh and
his side and following a rib to near

LABELS ON TIN CONTAINERS
A. Necessary to Establish Reputation
for Reliability ~ to Have Prod

Cater to Needs Of Buyers.

Well-stocked pantry shelves found
In 80 many American homes at the
end Of the canning season have not
been enough In the way Of food saw
ing for many women and girls who
last year, especially through their or
ganized clubs, put up millions Of Jars
and cans Of fruits and vegetables in
response to the worlds need Of food.
Although some Of this surplus
canned food. that the pantry shelves
would not hold, was sold on local mar
kets, and some Of 1t was even shipped
to nearby points, here and there tho
home Gamers found that 1t was hard
to sell the surplus. One Of the main
difficulties. as pointed out by the bu-
reau cf markets, was that the home
CO. I'd products were not standard
=, for many cases were found where
.il-selected. carefully packed stand
ardized goods brought good prices to
the home Gamer.
Best Markets.
Local or nearby markets for home
canned products are usually the best.
The attractiveness Of the pack and
containers affects its selling qualities.
Merchants or other buyers do not
want a miscellaneous assortment Of
products. and 1t is better practice to
put different products in boxes BY
themselves and not to mix containers
Of peaches and peppers, for example.
In the same lot when offering them
for sale. Containers should be graded
as to size and quarts and pints kept
separate. Labels are necessary on tin
containers and help sell canned goods.
Where products are put up BY MEM
pers Of canning clubs under organized
supervision 1t is possible to guaran-
tee the pack Of the different products
as to grade and weight Of measure.
This is a considerable aid in selling.
since the buyer then knows exactly
what he is buying.
Pooling Products.
In case the products are pooled Tor
marketing, the different kinds OF fruit
or vegetables can be placed together
in graded-sized containers, when, per
haps, the pack of any one individual
might not be large enough to make
up a quantity suficient to attract
buyers. 1t is as necessary to estab-
lish a reputation for reliability as to
have products put up attractively. The
marketing Of home or club-canned
products can be made successful II
the Gamers will study the marketing
problem and cater to the needs Of buy
ers. When orders are secured In ad-
vance for products, home Gamers
should endeavor to fill the orders on
time and give the buyer the kind of
products agreed upon.

State Hail
Insurance
Chairman of State Board Says that
an Increased Amount of In-sur-
ance Is Being Taken Out.

b. K. Bowman, chairman of the
state board of hail insurance of Hell
ena, Mont, was a caller at the Office
of the county agent, May 26. He
has spent the past week comforting
with the county assessors for 1918
and the assessors think 1918 appi-
cations will be several times those
filed in 1917.
The appli. alton blanks now in the
hands of tine farmers were printed
before the special session Of the
legislature The date on which the
assessors may accept the applica-
tons was extended to June 90 by
the legislators at the special session.
If any losses occur in this county
they will be appraised by farmers of
this county under the rules of the
State board. The Sheridan county
commissioners have appointed A. F.
Ziebarth and VIM. Munsan to take
care of any losses that may occur.
The insurance will cost not to ex-
coed go cents per acre and the losses
will be appraised on basis of SIP
per acre for total losses. A surplus
of $4,000 was carried over from
1917 and will be used to help pay
losses if needed.
Mr.. Bowman says that the central
and southern parts of the state have
an enormous acreage of winter wheat
and are assured of a good yield. The
wheat is coming into the boot and
the ground is well supplied with
moisture. The northern part of the
state is in good condition and if any
thing like present conditions continue |
the result will be a great blow to the
kaiser.

TO HAVE
FINE NEW CHURCH
Forty New Members Secured and
$1,000 Subscribed.

The Golden Valley congregation is
the oldest in the parish, but has up
to this time had no church. The
services have been held at the homes
OF members and the last few years
in the Archer schoolhouse.
In order to build church and as.
sure the continuation of regular
church work at a place, two things
are necessary-first, church mem
bership that is interested in and
will continue the work of the church;
and secondly, sufficient funds for the
erection of the church.
Together with one of the charter
members of the CONGREGATION the
pastor therefor set out recently to
obtain the two necessities above
mentioned. In about two days of
work about forty new members were
obtained for the congregation and
subscribed nearly $1,000 toward the
erection of a Lutheran church in Ar
cher.
There are yet many who, it is
hoped will both join and contribute.
Then comes the ever faithful La
dies Aid with a cash balance of
nearly $1,000 in the bank to be add
ed to the church building fund.
A business meeting was held after
services on Sunday, May 10, at which
the new members were received and
preliminary steps taken to get the
building operations under way as
soon as possible.
An important business meeting is
to be held after the services on Sum
day, June 16, at 800 o'clock and
all interested should try and be
present at that time. A united lift
and there will soon be a completed
church built and paid for at Archer.
All may join the church and con-
tribute their money toward the erec-
ton of the church, but the success
of the church work depends upon
regular attendance at services. Let
all bear this in mind and strive to
act accordingly.

THE FLAX CROP AS PART
OF THE WAR PROGRAM

There is a growing demand for
flax seed. The uses of linseed oil
are increasing each day.. To add
to the situation our acreage of fax
in this country is falling off. High
prices for seed and oil during the
past few years have reflected the
shortage. Last year only enough
seed was produced to meet onethird
our consumption. Since 1912 we
have relied on fax from Argentine
to meet our requirements-our pro-
duction being only about one-half
enough. Restricted shipping facili-
ties have now cut out this source of
The present high prices for oil has
OF necessity temporarily curtailed
general consumption. But, on the
other hand, our war program is
drawing heavily on available stocks.
As a waterproof material for tents,
slickers and other supplies, and as
a preservative of wood and steel,
Gnseed oil has no satisfactory SUBJ
stitute. Soap manufacturers, also
finding their shipments of vegetable
oils shut off from the Orient are
placing large contracts with the lin
seed oil companies. The demands
for our fax seed should be as great
as ever, and greater because tie Ar
gentine markets are inaccessible.
These are a few apparent facts
which confront us, and which has
prompted our government through
its department of agriculture, and
state agencies to encourage a great
er acreage Of this crop. With a
reasonable year flax should pay the
farmer well. His efforts this year
will also be a contribution to our
wheat acreage in 1919.
