Potatoes add succulence to the dairy

increase in milk flow. They should be
introduced into the ration gradually
and should be run through root cut

DISCOURAGE TRADE

SECRETARY M'ADOO URGES MER.

NEWS OF THE CAPITAL CITY
Supreme Court Holds That Compen'

Death Caused by Bolt of
Lightning.

Helena.-Montana merchants have
been requested by the treasury depart
ment not to accept Liberty bonds in
exchange for merchandise upon the
grounds that this defeats the very pur-
pose of issuing the bonds.
at has been brought to my atten-
ton" writes Secretary McAdoo, that
numbers of merchants throughout the
country are offering to take Liberty
loan bonds of the first and second is
sue at par, or even in some cases at
premium, in exchange for merchandise.
While l have no doubt that these mer-
chants are actuated by patriotic mo-
tives, am sure that they have failed
to consider the effect which the ac-
ceptance of their offers would have
upon the situation.
ave are making the strongest effort
to have these government bonds pur-
chased for permanent investment by
the people at large, to be paid for out
Of the past or future savings of those
who buy them. Purchases thus made
not only result in providing funds
for the uses of the government, but
they also effect conservation of labor
and material. When the bonds are ex
changed for merchandise, it defeats
the primary object of their sale, it dis
courages thrift, and increases expendi,
lures, thus depriving the government
Of labor and material needed for war
purposes.
I'm addition to this, such bonds,
when taken in exchange for merchan-
disc, must in most cases be immediate
ly sold on the open market. This nat
urally tends to depress the market
price of the issue and makes it less
easy to sell future issues at the same
rate.
Il hope that the merchants of the
country, upon g more careful consid-
GRAFTON of this subject, will discontinue
their efforts to sell merchandise and
take Liberty bonds in payment"

SwindIehurst Don't Believe 1t.

Information received by State Fuel
Administrator w. J. Swindlehurst con-
vinces him that the recent piteous
appeal of unnamed Bear Greek coal
operators to the national fuel admin
istration for assistance in disposing
of 300 tons of slack coal that are
daily going TO waste for lack of a
market, is largely camouflage, and
that their statement that they would
take any price for the slack the fuel
administration would fix was largely
buncombe.
Since Administrator Swindlehurst
made public the telegram from the
national fuel administration, he has
received Il score of inquiries concern
ing the slack coal, and the inforna
tion placed in his hands indicates the
Bear Creek appeal to the national adj
was made in the hope of
selling the slack elsewhere than in
and that the operators have
no particular desire to displace their
higher grades of coal sold in Montana
with slack.

No Compensation Allowed.

In denying the validity of the claim
of Kate L. Virgins of Big Horn coun-
ty for compensation for the death of
her son, who was killed by lightning
while working on the county roads,
the supreme court in a decision by
Justice Holloway, affirms the indus
trial accident board in the first APP
peal ever taken TO the courts from
its ruling. The lower court held in
favor of Mrs. Virgins. The board ap-
pealed, and successfully.
The case was submitted on an
agreed statement of facts. The SUI
preme court holds that the chance of
being struck by lightning is an oc-
cupational hazard assumed by the
workman, unless it can be shown that
the work or some special machine or
instrument about the work has a spe-
cial attraction for lightning that in
creases the normal hazard from light
ming. The court further holds that the
grader upon which Virgins was work
ing, was not such an instrument.

Protect the Birds.

Saving the song birds Of France Is
the object of plan proposed by M.
Andre Godart, Partisan. NJ. Godart
calls attention to the scarcity Of
birds in France, due to insufficient
protection, and the consequent loss to
grape growers of the Gironde in 1910
of 100000 of francs, as well as a
decrease in the oil production of south
ern France, so great that the olive
growers threatened to abandon the in
dustry. He suggests that goldfinches,
bull finches, linnets, yellowhammers,
thrushes. blackbirds and starllngs, all
of which nest readily in gardens, be
reared in large and specially designed
aviaries and released when full grown
to repopulate the now deserted woods
and fields.

The sun, boring into his spine
through his thin shirt, made him reach
Tor his jacket. There was the little
dog still sitting ON its base, 20 yards
away. 1t covered and dropped Its
ears when he moved, and he thought
Poor beast! Some one has been do

There were some biscuit in the
pocket of his jacket, and he held one
out. The dog shivered aud its pink
tongue lolled painting with desire and
fear. Jean Liotard tossed the biscuit
gently about half way. The dog cow
cred back a step or two, crept forward

recoiled a pace or two, and seemed,
with painting mouth and faint wagging
OF the tail, to beg for more. Jean
LiOtard held a third biscuit as far in
front of him as he could, and waited.
The creature crept forward and
squatted just out of reach. There It
sat. with saliva dropping from its
mouth; seemingly 1t could not make up
its mind to that awful venture. The
soldier sat motionless; his outstretched
hand began to tire, but he did not
budge-he meant to conquer its fear.
At last it snatched the biscuit. Jean
Liotard instantly held out n fourth

details are supplied by a well-known
flying officer who has returned to Lon

"rhe incident referred to-" he said,

reason why a machine should not, un-
