What Might be Done
with the Fairgrounds

how we'll we could pull together in
all things.
would have my homes well fin
ished and would use much oil, stain,
paint and varnish. Men who have
had experience renting houses would
tell me l was foolish in the extreme,
and l would admit it, but l would
go on and indulge my hobby. When
house was finished l would let it
stand empty while, even tho ten
ants were ready; this because it
takes paint so much longer to harden
and season than people think it does.
| would not rent my houses for
short periods nor to transients. 1t
pays better to have them stand idle.
That is Queer philosophy, but men
of experience in renting houses
would agree with me for once, but
they would still say was foolish to
build houses to stand empty and l
would admit it and 60 on building
more houses. Transients would
come to me to rent houses for
few months and l would reply
like the merchant does that
was entirely out Of that kind
of goods, and had nothing to
sell. That would seem queer and II
would be queer, but it is nice to be
queer when you know what you are
doing. .....
People would keep asking me what
l was going to put in that vacant
block, where the four beautiful pines
were growing and I would keep them
guessing. l would plant it to GER
tain kind of squash each year and
have customer for the crop in
Butte.
| would have queer way of rent
ing my houses and people would be
shy for the first year or two, but they
would finally get to laughing about il
and saying that was not such bad
gink after all. Many man would
say hard things about me before he
got to know my plan of operating
! but that would not do him any good
and if couldn't survive his talk till
he got some sense l would take my
medicine. People are not likely tc
be your friend anyway till you show
them you can stand on your own feet
or that they are losing something
good by not dealing with you.
would let my houses stand empty
and season we'll while waited to gel
desirable tenants on my own terms
| would not waste my time explain
ing 1t to them either. I woul have
printed slips to hand them and
would keep the announcement be
fore them in the local newspaper.
My plan of renting houses would
be by the year, and the tenant woult
deposit an extra months rent to bt

SHIPPING STOCK BY BOAT

Mississippi River boats hauled more
live stock to the Independent Stock
Yards at St Louis during the first
half of this year than they did in a
corresponding period last year, thus
relieving materially rail transporta-
ton, according to report of the Blu
reau of Markets of the United States
Department of Agriculture. More
than one-third of the receipts of cat
tie and hogs at the Independent Yards
in the last four months came by the
river route and now practically all the
Mississippi River boats using st. Lo-
uis as a terminal carry some live
stock While boat rates are tribe
higher than rail rates the stock
reaches the market in better condi-
ton and shows less shrinkage. The
loss in dead and crippled animals is
small compared with the loss in ship
nents made by rail Usually less
than carloads are shipped by individ-
ual owners and system of tagging
permits the stock of more than one
man to be confined in the same pen.

STATEMENT REGARDING
men OF The DRAFT AGE
Red Cross Issues an Official State
ment About Men Who Are
in the Draft.

The American Red Cross authorizes
the following:
In response to queries from several
of the Red Cross divisions regarding
the policy of the national organization
with respect to the employment of
men within the draft age. the acting
general manager has issued the state
ment that follows:
Our policy in respect to enrolling
such men in foreign service is>as fol-
lows: They are not accepted unless
they have been placed in class 3, sec
tion G, because of physical disability,
and, furthermore, unless the disabil-
ity is visual This removes all ques-
ton as to whether the representatives
of the Red Cross in foreign service
should be In the Army, as at glance
it can be seen that they would not be
qualified for such service. The same
policy applies in respect to men en-
rolled for service in camps and can
tonments in this country.
! "Our policy in respect to enrolling
such men at Division Headquarters is
as follows The Red Cross has never
asked for the exemption of any one
and does not expect to do so. There
fore any man so enrolled az Division
( Headquarters is nevertheless in all
respects subject to the draft. In re-
spect however, to those men who
have been placed in class 4, because
Of dependency, or placed in class 3
G., because of physical disability as
above set forth, and are not therefore
available for military service, but who
must under the recent ruling of thu
Provost Marshal General be engaged
in some useful work, our position !!
that such men so employed in impor
tant positions with the Red Cross ar
within the Provost Marshals rulini
and should be retained in Red Cros
service.
"In the event of this question arts
ing, each individual case should b
examined and passed upon by re
sponsible Red Cross official in the Di
vision Office"

THE FEDERAL EXPLOSIVE LAW

The Federal Explosives Act pro-
hibits the manufacture, sale, purchase
and possession of all explosives and
their ingredients, in time of war,
without license. In other words,
the deal& must have license, and
the purchaser must have license.
The dealer musth keep an temized
record showing the name and address
of purchaser, his license number,
kind and quantity of explosives pur-
chased, and purpose for which it is
to be used. This also compels prac-
tically every drug store in the Unit
ed States to have a license permitting
them to have in possession and sell
explosives ingredients, and the buyer
must have a license when purchasing
ounce or more, and the dealer must
keep the same record as the party
who sells dynamite. These ingred-
tents are: Birchromates, CELEBRATES,
Chromates, Nitrates, Nitric Acid, Per
CELEBRATES. perborates, Permanganates,
PcroXides and PHOSPHORUS, in their
various forms.
This law will be rigidly enforced in
the future it having been in effect
since November Is, 1917, and every
| dealer has had time to familariZe
| himself with the law and all its de-
tails, and no excuse will be accepted
in the future. Violation of this Act
carries penalty of $4,000 fine or i'm.
| prisonment in a Federal prison. OF
both. A careful and systematic check
is being made, by Federal Authorities
of every dealer in the State who han
dies explosives or ingredients, re
gahlless of>location or size. An in
spector or some deputy may drop il
any day, and dealers should not al
low themselves to be caught unpre
pared.
There is a United States Explosive
Licensing officer in every county, ant
such dealers as have not already pro
cured their license should take i'm
mediate steps to do so.
This is considered one of the mos
important war measures enacted b
our Congress, and dealers can not b
too careful in making sales of eXplo
sives or their ingredients.

MINERS SHOW THEIR
PATRIOTISM

Reports received by the U. S. Fuel
Administration from coal producing
districts, both anthracite and btu
minous, show that mineworkers heed
ed the request of Fuel Administrator
Garfield, and returned promptly to
work on the day following the Fourth
oil July In some of the districts con-
siderable coal was loaded on the Ma
tional holiday, the miners converting
patriotic celebration into actual SER
vice to the government. Proclaiming
reports show that for the five work
ing days during the week an average
considerably more than 100000 tons
OF bituminous production per day was
maintained.

DEATH WARRANTS To 0EPOTISM

Civilization has decreed that auto
Cracy of the ruthless, predatory, mill
taristic type that is represented by
Germany must be banishe from the
earth 1t has no claim for considera-
ton in the present day world scheme.
For countless centuries autocracy has
predominated. 1t has done much for
civilization and world progress. But
it has always held the natural impulse
Of the people for greater liberty in
discreet check.
Now under German direction it has
become transformed into despotism;
despotism which gives no heed to
human rights or liberties and puts
about the same valuation upon hui
man and insect life. A depotism that
aspires to rule the world upon this
same plan. A despotism which could
subordinate civilization as we know
it to the German brand of kultur
which would subordinate as we know
it ia the German brand of kultur
which permits of the bayoneting of
babies. the manning of children and
the outrage of womankind. A de-
potism for which red blooded men
will never stand.
Approximately nine-tenths of the
civilized world has declared against
the German brand of depotism. Near
ly score of nations are represented
! in the ranks opposing the German adj
vance Twice as many tongues are
spoken in the trenches.
But generally speaking the world
looks to America to put the finishing
touches unon the boundless ambitions
OF the Hun. And America assumes
the task.
1t means men and money beyond al
past precedent. 1t means an army
beyond any former American concep
tion. 1t means money in figures pas
ell but an American comprehension
But the men and the money will b.
forthcoming Freedom must live,
Ahead of us is a titanic struggle
such as the world has never seen
Ahead of us may be sacrificed, evel
. hardship, such as America has neve
known. But Liberty must survive an
human rights must continue to com
mand respect,
; And while loyal, liberty loving, lilo
hearted sons of America are offerin
= their lives that this may be, don't b
, l.iggardly with your dollars.
= Men and money; Americas loan
world democracy.
t Death warrant of depotism.
