The Germans have q wholesome re-
spect for the Americans, as we do not

WILL GRADE NINE MILES OF
RED TRAIL NEAR GLENDlvE
Work Contemplates Drainage, Grading
and GrayeIing OF Highway, and
Repair of Bridge

Helena.-A to build another
highway project, making the fourth in
all for which authority has recently
been granted, has been received by the
state highway commission from the
federal department of good roads.
This project is known as the Red
Trail project west of Glendive, and
contempIates the grading, drainage and
graveling of nine miles of state high
way, and the repair of bridge. Plans
and specifications were completed
months ago and the project was ready
to go to contract, but was held up by
war conditions. Construction will be
started as early in the spring as pos
sible.
Other projects, the construction OF
which has been authorized include the
Black and White trail near Bridger in
Carbon county: the Improvement of
two miles of the Hardin-Custer road
near Hardin in Big Horn county; and
the Improvement of seven and Il half
miles of the Red Trail east of Glen
dive.

MONTANA MAYORS TO MEET
IN HELENA JANUARY 18TH
Will Confer Upon Subject of License
Charges to Take Place of Sa-
loon Revenues

Helena.-Mayors of first and second
class cities of the state will hold in
allegiance until January ID their con-
ference in Helena on the questions of
a license system and charges to meet
the exigencieS of the incoming dry
wave, and ON that date will confer
with the city attorneys of these cities
who will be here, according to City
Commissioner Henry Kahn.
The city attorneys when they meet
here will discuss among other things
the question of license charges to be
assessed against soft drink establish
ments into which hundreds of saloons
in the state will be converted after
January /, and special legislation on
this matter will probably be recon-
mended to the state legislature for
passage.
The questions to be discussed by the
mayors and city attorneys in confer
ence here will probably include ex-
tension of municipal license fees to
cover other business besides the soft
drink places, as q means of making
up the loss of revenue which to a con-
siderable extent seems inevitable as a
result of the elimination of the high
license fees derived heretofore from
the saloon business.

HIT BY AN AUTOMOBILE;
WINS $4,000 DAMAGES
Verdict Sets Record for Personal In
jury Suits in Courts of
Fergus County

Observation-Disclosures for $16,S00
the largest personal damage judgment
ever returned by jury in Fergus
county, has been awarded Peter Hoff-
man in his suit against e. r! Roehl
and Joseph Leedy.
Hoffman, who was a locomotive en-
gineer, was struck by an auto from
the Roehl garage in November, 1916.
The car had been taken out by Mr..
Leedy, an employee, to demonstrate to
Daniel Bean, a prospective purchaser.
Mr.. Bean and his daughter, Miss Mar
tina Bean, were in the car, and after
driving out to Judith Place and around
bit, the return was made by way of
the business district. Miss Bean was
allowed to drive the car and while thus
engaged, at the corner of Main street
and Fourth avenue, lost control for a
moment and the car, swerving onto
the sidewalk and into the Empire bank
building, caught Mr.. Hoffman and
crushed him against the wall.

LATEST RULING OF
FOOD Administration

There are at present no restrictions
of any sort on the use and sale Of
sugar, although conservation still is
urged. The certificate plan of distri
button was discontinued on Deem
Der L.
Dealers in wheat mill feeds are still
asked to have pledges signed with each
sale of mill feeds.
There are no restrictions on the
amount of wheat that a consumer may
buy or use at the present time.
Public eating places are still requir.
ed to limit their serving of bread tc
two ounces per person per meal, OF
four ounces where other than wheat
bread is served.
The Food Administration has sent
a circular letter to all retailers ex.
planning the conditions under which
surplus stocks of substitutes will be
purchased by the government.
The fixed price of wheat will remain
in force until after the crop of 1920.
While the maximum set on the price
of bread has been removed, the Food
Administration warns that 10 cents the
pound loaf has been found a fair price
and that excessive charges will result
in investigation of profits.

$3.50, 900 PAID TO BEET
FARMERS THIS SEASON

Billings.-Farmers of the Yellow
stone valley have been paid upwards
of three-quarters of million dollars
for their sugar beets this year by the
Great Western Sugar company, accord
ing to a statement issued last week,
after the second payment had been
mailed out.
This payment amounted to S134,O00,
and swells the total for the year to
$750,000. The first payment was made
November Is. The farmers have had
IN exceptionally good year from the
standpoint of harvesting, in that there
has been little cold weather, and so
far as known, no beets were frozen
In the ground.
1t is early to predict. next years
acreage, but from the fact that as high
as $500 an acre was realized from
beets, the expectation is that there
will be large area planted.

Cooperative Stores

| While cooperative stores In the
United States are relatively unsuc-
cessful as compared with typical CO

I to the failure of the underlying prin-
ciples of such enterprises to hold good
In America, but to- the business meth
DDS generally followed in such under
takings in this country. This conclu-
sion has been reached as a result Of
a survey of 60 cooperative stores made
by the office of markets and rural or
ganization =: the United States depart
ment of agriculture. In many Ameri-
can cooperative stores which have
failed. mismanagement, inadequate nc
counting and auditing. lack Of cooper
alton, poor business methods, and lack
OF judgment are responsible.
The results Of the survey Indicate
that the cooperative store has tended
to bring about lower prices, smaller
margins of profit, more efficient busi-
ness methods, and other practices ben
eflcial to the farmer.

0KRA GOOD IN GARDENS

. Okra, or gumbo, is desirable
addition to the vegetables grown
! In the home garden. 1t has been
grown and used for years in the
South, where it is found in al
most every garden, and is in
creasing in popularity in the
North.
In regions where the growing
! seasons are very short, olzra
plants may be started in a hot
bed or greenhouse and trans
planted to the open ground.
Okra is easily grown on any
good soil. and a few plants will
be sufficient for the average FAM
lily.
The edible portion consists OF
the pods, which must be gath
cred and used while young and
tender.
Okra is used mainly in soups.
but may be served as a yegeta-
BILE. boiled or baked, or as q
salad. 1t may be kept for win
ter use by canning or drying.
The United States department
of agriculture has recently re-
published Farmers Bulletin 232,
