THE HUSkIES' HAIR CUTS"

With the thrilling tragedy of the war daily unfolding about them-its bugles and drums and shot and shell and life-or-death fRhting-it seems queer that the American soldiers have time or inclination to consider how they shall have their hair cut. And yet the first thing a barber asks the man in his chair is: "Rah, rah, Strong Point" or "Camouhage ?"
 For those are the three stylyes of

hair cut discovered by a New York Sun reporter.
 "Rah, rah,' means very close, high up to the top of the ears, and a sug- gestion of mop" on top of the head. This is the style of the newcomers, and is not tolerated by the veterans" :" Strong Point" slaves the top of the head like priest of holy orders, a lit tie wide space perhaps, with a fringe to show under the edge of the hat. Those who affect this pattern are not newcomers and yet not first-comers |; they are getting on toward the final order of the near-veterans. And this final order is the "anticamouflage," or "close as closeness," until the clip pers can pick up nothing more. Un- der this process the men are prema- ture baldheads, ready for any eventu- ality, and. above all, they are "cooty- proof For a cooty must have an ambuscade to hide in or it quits the diggings." That is what the first corners have discovered, and so they smile as they look at the process of evolution in army haircuts. quite con fident that their style is the last, but by yno means the least to be desired.

| that the Oklahoma and Wyoming oil
rings are mulcting the $4,000 automo-

NEWS OF THE CAPITAL CITY
Congresswoman Jeanette Rankin
Files for United States Senator
ship.-Forester Lsuds De-
Tense Council Order.

Helena.-PossibIy due to the partial
crop failure in Montana this year
the state land office is receiving
daily many applications for farm
loans and approximately 800 loans are
pending for total of S1.270,355., The
cash on hand available for farm loans
is $1.2S4, 432.07, according to Sidney
Miller, register of the land office, and
as from $4,000 TO 100000 revenue
is received monthly. he believes all
applications for loans can be taken
care of at the present rate that they
are coming.
Mr.. Miller estimates, judging by the
ratio of applications previously acted
upon, that about S1.000,000 will be
loaned on the S1,270,355 asked for in
pending applications. The land office
has been making loans at the rate
of about 100 month and so far has
managed to keep abreast of the ap-
plications. Delay is sometimes caused
through faulty abstracts and the fail
ure of the applicant to have defects
cured in title to a tract.
So far the state land office has
made total of 719 loans for S1,645,-
600.
The state land hoard has approved
the selection of 1000 acres of land
near Winifred. and of a small acre
age in Big Horn county. The case
of an enemy alien who squatted in
1917 upon a portion of the states Sc
lections near Winifred will be inves-
tigated.

measuring it's length over the desert

the sights of Imperial valley, Cali

The boat, vessel of five-foot draft
was mounted on skids. en- route from
Salton sea to the railroad at inland
where it will be loaded onto cars for
shipment to seaport, whence it will
sail to Alaska to be used by prospec-

The historic vessel was brought to
Salton sea when that inland body of
water was of larger proportions than
it is today and was designed for use
in connection with the fishing indus
try. But the evaporating waters left
the craft high and dry on the silt.
