GREAT FALLS PLANT WILL
HELP TO SPEED THE WAR
Anaconda Copper Company Construct
ing Building in Which to Make
Ferro-manganese.

Great Falls.-Work will be started
Immediately by the Anaconda Copper
Mining company to equip plant at
the local smelter for the production
of ferro-manganese. The work is I'M
dertaken at the special request of the
war industries board of the govern
ment, the purpose being to speed up
the steel industry.
The plant will produce 80 tons daily
of the ferro-manganese which is suf-
ficient to meet the need in manufac-
turing 10000 tons of steel day. The
effect of the plant will be to supply a
need for ferro-manganese which other
wise would have to be brought to this
country in ships from foreign lands,
and it is estimated that this plant will
release 100000 tons of shipping year
ly for carrying food and ammunition to
the war zone. The plant will be ready
in five months

TREATMENT OF KICKING cow
Care and Patience Will Effect Cure if
Right Methods Are Used-TWo
Ways of Tying.

Care and patience will cure the
kicking COW if the proper methods
are employed One method is to pass
a rope or strap with loop in one
end of it around the body of the cow
and draw it tight. The COW will usu-
ally jump at first, but when she finds
she cannot get out of the rope she
will stand still. If this method causes
the COW to give bloody milk, place the
rope or strap behind the udder, and
draw it tight as before.
Another method is to hobble the
cow by passing the rope around each
leg behind the udder, and tying just
above the hooks. This method is
dangerous one, however, for the per-
son tying the rope. After these meth
DDS have been repeated few times
the cow will stand quietly to be MIXED.

producing over so pounds of butterfat

to the month-by-month production of
cows ON test. There were 1872 cows in
the first list. Three years later, May,
1917, saw 4S7 cows in the 5O-pound
list. This means that 4S7 Jersey cows
on test were producing at the rate of
more than so pounds of butterfat, or
so pounds of butter in that month. At

Otherwise Cow Must Burn High-Priced

If the cows are forced to drink cold

is much cheaper to warm the water
with wood or coal than to allow the
COW to burn high priced fuel in her

Cant you protect it for Us from father, who might return, sell the farm, and go back to his old fatherland that he bragged so much about? He must have taken the deed of the farm with him. We can't find it. We know he took $5,OOO which he had saved up iii the bank. But don't you think the farm belongs to us children and this country and not to Germany"

that he swore twice to things which were not true would place him in a predicament from which he would find it hard to extricate himself in Canada. American laws are different from Canadian laws. They are made to be broken. The guilt of a man in the United States Is dependent upon the ability of his lawyer. If the ex- governor has been slandered, as his friends claim, it Is an easy matter to secure justice. But we believe the matter will never be taken to the courts, as the evidence is incontrover- tible. Step by step the man was trac- ed from his birthplace to Fairhaven; 1; from Fairhaven to the present guber- material position at Juneau. The more the case is aired the more it will smel to the high heavens. If We were in the ex-governor's position we would pray nightly for protection from our fool friends who pushed us into the unnecessary expose.

THOUSANDS upon thousands of persons lead an aimless existence, blown hither and thither by the winds of chance. Their destinies are control led by no aparent motive and their ac- lions are as aim!ess as their existence. The employment of idle men is one Of the greatest problems of the com ing generation. Under the present eco ncmic system there are two or three men supporting each idle person ln the country, who gamers the sweets harvested by the workers. Another thing that is wrong in the country's management is that person with no visible means of support has the same voice in the government as the work CT. His views are bound to be pervert- ed by idleness and he is generally found opposed to everything that en- tails the expenditure of an additional collar or a little muscular energy With the coming of a government by the people there will be no place for these drones. All will be compelled to work a certain number of hours at productive labor if he expects to share the benefits. While this smacks of so- cialism the present laws being adopt ed as emergency laws in the different states show that they are good laws, No matter what mans income, in certain eastern states under the pres ent war legislation he must find a job. If he cults that job he is amerable to discipline by the authorities. While this is practically condition of ser vitude it is made necessary by the cri- sis existing. It has been found bene- ficial and undoubtedly will be con tinued after the war.

IFTHE facts revealed by the inter- for department in an investigation of J. F. A. Strong's private life are not true then the ex-governor has re- course to the laws of the land and ev- cry paper publishing the findings is liable for heavy damages. The entire administrative department heads who worked up this testimony are guilty of spreading untruths and can be made to pay heavily for the offense. If they are true. and they must be when detectives employed by the de- partment of interior say they are, there is no man who can say that the ex-governor did not receive his just deserts. No man who is not a citizen of this country is entitled to hold of flee in it, and were the ex-governor a resident office holder of the province in which he was born, he would not get off as easily as he did. The fact
