FISH IN THE BACK Yard

Here's a new food-production idea, fathered ap-
propriatey enough by 5. - Lloyd. president of the
National Aquarium society. Anybody who is an
aquarium expert ought TO know something about
raising fish in small space. And Lloyd does. He
has three 5OO-gallon pools in his garden last
year he raised 10000 fish I'm them. The world is not
informed to the size of those fish but number
impressive. And from the attendant circumstances

big enough to eat.
But Mr.. Lloyd doesn't insist number His slogan
is. Keep 10 FISH in back yard" is least

in the sections of Belgium occupied
by the Germans. 1t says in part:
There was great rejoicing last
week n the occupied portion of Bel
GUM. Allied aviators dropped, in
large quantities. the complete text
of Pres't Wilson's speech. which was
printed i'm small letters on card
board sheets At Liege many thou

always excellent, were greatly COM
forted.
Many disputes arose between
Belgian and boche officers. who Ger

word. There were many who re
marked openly that the words of
NJ Clemenceau, Lloyd George and
Pres't Wilson had given them
strength TO wait two years or more
if need be for the defeat OF the Ger

HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, MARCH %. 1918.


This is a doubtful day, according
TO astrology. Uranus. the sun and
Venus are all adverse, while Mer-
curry is friendly.
Under this rule women are be
lieved to be at a disadvantage as the
stars seem TO indicate uncertainty,
change and reYersals, where their
interest are concerned.
1t is.a most unlucky rule for love
affairs, but they will multiply as the
spring advances. Scandals that
touch the exalted. as well as the
humble are indicated.
The seers lay stress on the danger
Of uttering or even thinking evil, as
the malefc stars are held to en-
courage misrepresentation and
treachery.
When this day of judgment ends
in peace, il is prophesied that the
mental powers will be so quickened
that perception will be eXtraOrdi
narily keen. This viii make

wrong conceptions TO be very dan.

This is not a lucky day for avia-
ton or artillery activities.
Great battles are prognosticated
and methods Of war will undergo
changes, it IS prophesied.
Warning is given that while there
is a sinister sign for the kaiser, the
German people may benefit in the
next few weeks. While some dis

MILK RIVER WATER
IS CONTAMINATED
Havre Sewerage Is Said to Be Men
ace to Health Of Valley Especial
~ at This Time of Year.

According to the Chinook Opinion
the Blaine county commissioners re-
Gently instructed the county clerk to
send a letter to Governor Stewart in
protest of the delay in Havre of obey
ing the order of the state board of
health in not installing a plant there
for the treatment of the Havre sew
erage that is emptied into Milk river.
The town council of Harlem has taken
a similar action and the Chinook
town council intend to take up the
matter at their next meeting. Repre-
sentative James Griffin, who was so
largely responsible for the passage
of the river pollution measure, states
that he will take the matter up at
the coming legislative session if the
state board of health or the city of
Havre do not take steps to remedy
the present situation.
The river at present is at a very
low stage and as a result the Havre
sewerage communicates the river wat
err to a greater degree than at other
seasons. The river water is the
source of supply of the towns and
many of the ranches along this valley
and the contamination of this stream
by the Havre sewer system has been
an intolerable nuisance for years. All
efforts to induce Havre to install sep
tic tanks have failed in the past and
at the last session of the Legislature
a law was passed on the urgent re-
quest of this county to give the state
board of health authority to compel
towns to treat heir sewerage before
turning it into a stream. The state
board promised to do something if the
law was passed, but took no action un
til a big protest was made last win
ter. Then an order was made to the
Havre authorities but they did moth
ing. They made the plea that they
did not have the funds to put in the
necessary septic tanks.
Recently Havre held a special cleo
ton to vote bonds to extend their wa
ter system and the people in Blaine
county, who have endured the conse'
q%uences of Havre's policy for so man!
years, began to ask, why Havre wa!
able to spend money to improve hel
own water supply, if she couldn't at
ford to take the necessary steps t.
stop polluting the water supply O
their neighboring towns.
The Havre sewerage is a constan
menace to the health of this valley
It means a constant danger of typhoi'
along this valley all of the time. A
this time of the year when the rive
is low the situation becomes all tn
more dangerous.
Havre authorities have known OF tn
injustice they have been doing tn
people along this valley for year
and if they will not have the decenc
! to take steps to correct the evil fo
, which they are responsible, the stat
authorities should get busy and TAX
action to force them to.

FEEDING THE HUNS
(By H. H. Windsor, in the January

(By H. H. Windsor, IN the
Popular Mechanics Magazine)
It would be unchristian, though a
lust retribution, if the allies could be
given the feeding of the Huns for a
time, with food of the same nourish-
ing value, and served in the same way
as the Huns fed the prisoners of the
allies. These same prisoners would
know how to serve-those who were
tied to stakes without food or water
for two or three days at a time, with
food in plain sight but just beyond
reach. There are many yet alive who
have witnessed this refined cruelty of
the middle ages, and some who even
survived the torture. These would
know how the Huns should be fed.
And those others who had choice OF
putrid fish or nothing; and those in
whose bowl of thin soup the Hun wo-
men spat as they handed it over to
French and Belgian and English
"dogs." These victims, too, know how
Huns fed others.
The starved millions in Belgium, and
Poland, and Armenia, whose Red
Cross supplies we're intercepted and
used by Huns; these skeletons would
gladly rise from their unmarked
graves and help feed the Huns. And
innocent children who trustingly smil-
ed as they ate the poisoned sweets,
they could tell in lisping words what
should flavor the food for Huns. And
those who died in torture from drink
ing at poisoned wells, these also would
serve as cup bearers while Huns are
fed.
Almost the first utterance from sur.
rendered Germany was a demand or
the allies for food, and as this demand
was flashing across the ocean, Hun ar
mics, in anything but a famished con
dition, were marching home. At the
same time reluctant prison doors il
Germany opened, and through these
doors came, by thousands, such wrecks
of manhood as the world has seldom
seen-walking skeletons who coul'
barely walk, thrust out in rags ant
shoeless, to make their way, as bes
they could and if they could, to tn
allied line. Many never reached tina
long prayed-for haven, but exhauste'
with cold and hunger died by the way
side. And it is the people responsible
for such fiendish wickedness tina
reach out their hands and demand tn
allies feed them!
