SUGAR BEET WORM AT
WORK IN WAR GARDENS

The sugar beet worm, also known
as the fall army worm, are at work
eating up war gardens in various
parts of the county. These parasites
have been mistaken for the real de-
structive army worm which destroy
all kinds of grain even when in the
shock by cutting off the heads of the
grain, but County Agent Anderson
says that they are particularly fond
of Russian thistles, juicy weeds and
garden stuff, and that they will not
destroy grain. Paris green sprayed
on the garden stuff and trench dug
around the garden with the use of
pound of paris green and fifty pounds
of bran, thoroughly mixed and lit
tie bit of molasses added, will keep
these worms away. These sugar beet
worms remain about two weeks.

Following is a quotation from, -.
personal statement of Pres. Wilson
70 MS fellow countrymen on july 2s
announcing mob spirit and mob a..
| ton in America.
NO man who loves America. ne
man WHO really cares for her fame
ana honor and character, or who is
truly loyal to her institutions. car
justify mob action while the courts
OF justice are open and the govern
menus of the states and the nation
are ready and able to do their DUTY.
i say plainly that every Ameri-
can Who takes part in the action OF
a mob or gives any sort of counter
ahce to 1t, is no true son of this great
democracy, but it's betrayer.
I therefore very earnestly and
soiemnly beg that the governors of
all states. the law officers of every
community and above all, the MEN
and WOMEN of every community in
the U. s., all who revere America and
wish to keep her name without stain
or reproach, will cooperate-not pas
SlVely merely, but actively and
"atchfully, to- make an end to this
dlsgraceful evil. 1t cannot live where
the community does not countenance
it."
In Whitehall recently the workshop
of Earl Warwick was smeared with
yellow paint. Mr.. and Mrs. Warwick
TOOK the matter before the Council
Of Defense where the yellow paint
gang was severity reprimanded for
their dlsloyalty to Americas depart
ment of justice.
No provision being made, however,
Tor painting out the yellow on the
tullding,. two young ladies of White
tail, both taxpayers in the support of
good government, and eager to re-
spond to the Presidents plea as set
forth above, purchased black paint,
the building being tar-papered one,
and soon had the badge of Whitetail's
lawless element effaced from their
midst. Long live our department of
justice! We dare not trust the mob.

Ignorance is the greatest menace
to democracy. This makes the dis
closure that 100000 men liable to
military service in America can
neither read nor write so startling.
The 1910 census report showed that
there We're $4,000 persons over 10
years old in America who could
neither read or write. There is an
error in government here that must
be corrected. Such people are not
prepared for life, and they are a
danger to the rest of the population.
Perhaps the surest way to speed edu-
cation is to allow the teachers to or
game as the farmers and laboring
men and the doctors and lawyers, and
bring pressure to bear for more and
better schools.

WANT NAMES OF
BOYS IN SERVICE


To secure a complete list of Mon
tana men who have entered the vari-
Gus branches of military and naval
service, the publicity and labor COM
mittee of the state council of defense
in this county to secure the names
of all volunteers as we'll as the names
and addresses of their immediate
relatives. The county council of this
county has secured from the local
draft board the names of all selected
men and their nearest relative or
relatives, but the task of securing
the names of the volunteers from
Montana is hard one and every one
is asked to cooperate with the coun-
Gil of defense.
No such a list exists in Montana
today and identification of soldiers
and sailors is difficult. The idea that
such a list should be kept in each
county and in the state capitol orig
mated in Helena where the CONNER
cial club there has big roll of hon.
or board containing the names of
every heroic boy from Lewis and
Clark county. Such a list is now de-
sired from every county by the COM
mittee of the state council of defense
having the matter in charge.
Relatives and friends of boys who
volunteered from this county should
send in the name of these soldiers
and sailors, including the names and
addresses of the nearest relative or
relatives. These should be mailed at
once to one of the members of Sheri-
dan County Council of Defense.

HAIL LOSS IS
ESTIMATED AT 100000

Helena, Mont, Aug. 6.-Hail losses
on crops insured with the state board
of hail insurance commissioners, are
estimated by Chairman E. X. Bow
man to aggregate 100000 up to the
present time, compared with total
losses last year of $4,000.
But the acreage insured this year
is approximately 100000, or twice
as much as last year, so unless dis
astrous storms occur between now
and the time the crop is cut, the in
dIcations are the board will have a
tidy surplus at the close of the sea-
son.

PostOfice at Helena reports that the
cash sales of War Savings Stamps
reported from various central ac-
counting post offices, from July LIST

cash values. This is the first time
the state has exceeded it's monthly
quota. Montana's largest previous
month was April with $51O,1O7.39

seems assured that the cash sales in
