hailstorms which caused more or less
damage, the loss being heaviest in
the Musselshell, Upper Yellowstone,
Shields River and Gallatin valleys,
which contained some of the best
crops to be found in the state.
Considering the state as a whole,
general crop conditions on September
/ were somewhat better than a month
previous, the combined condition fig
ure of all crops being three points
higher and showing the first upward
trend since the opening Of the crop
season.
By the first of September the har;
vest of winter wheat and rye had
been practically completed and some
of the earlier sown spring grains had
also been cut, though much of the
latter we're still green and in need
of bright and warmer weather to in
sure proper maturing before killing
frosts. Rains during the month did
more or less damage to grain in the
shock, causing di%scoloration and
sprouting, but tended to c~ounteract
this damage by slightly improving
the condition of all small grains not
yet matured. ,
Corn, fax and potatoes all improved
somewhat during the past month and
a considerable part of both the corn
and fax crops had reached that stage
where frosts after the first of Sep
TENDER would not materially alter the
final outcome. Pastures, ranges and
hay meadows on September l were
undoubtedly in the best condition since
earlv in the season, though both wild
and cultivated hay failed to make the
August growth that would have been
made with warmer weather.

SACRIFICE THE THING
Word Is True Definition Of Patri-

Assertion Of Sergeant Davis, Speaker
In Ninth District Fourth Lib

Davis answered the call to the
Colors In August, 1917, and went to
France In December with Co. E. 81
Engineers and saw active service all
along the line. but gas and shell-shock
temporarily wound up his fighting ca.
reer and he was shipped home to
talk for Liberty Loans.
When he landed in Ninth District
headquarters, Minneapolis, he did not
act like . speaker for he simply gave
his name and credentials and said he
was ready for service. An effort was
made to get him to talk but nobody
could get Q rise out Of him. Finally
he was asked point blank:
Davis, what do you say to q man
who could afford to buy q Liberty
bond and doesn't?"
The fire leaped to his eyes, his hair
seemed to bristle, he bounded out Of
his chair and launched into an extern
poraneous grafton which trilled every
one In district headquarters. Wher
Davis was through the tears were
running down his checks, he was shak

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.
Many Offers Made fer Them for
Stock in Wildcat Companies.

There is every indication that Lib
erty Loan bonds, issued during the
war, will greatly rise in value with
the estabfishnent of peace. In 1888
| 800 United States bond, bearing 4
per cent interest, sold in the open
market for.$1S0. In 1901 it brought
more than $139. The most con-
sentative will agree that Liberty
bondsi are sure to go above par in
value, now that the Allies have
brought the war to victorious end.
The shrewd and inscriptions, the
birds of prey in finance, realize the
worth of Liberty bonds, and are
using every effort to secure them
from those who are uniformed in
financial matters. Their favorite
method is to offer stock to wildcat
companies-stock that is absolutely
vatuless-in exchange for Liberty
bonds. Some of these get-rich-quick
schemers offer to lend their pro-
spective victims money, wherewith
to buy the goldbrick stock, taking
Liberty bonds as security. This, of
course, is only thinly disguised at
tempt to obtain Liberty bonds for
worthless stock.
The, United States owns some s.
100000 acres of oil lands and 3d.
000,0O0 acres OF coal lands, the
title of which belongs to the Federal
Government. Since all owners Of
Liberty bonds are part owners Of
this government, it would be palpah-
ly foolish of them to exchange their
Liberty bonds for oil or coal stock
Of doubtful value.
Before disposing of his bond, the
holder thereof would do we'll to con-
suit banker. Such consultation will
not prosper the fake stock concernc.
but it certainly will prosper the bond
holder.

RED CROSS DOTNGS FOR WEEK
DECEMBER 10 1918.
COLLECTING THE DAMAGE.
The Damage to Belgium Alone Esti-
mated at $S,OOO,OOO,OOO.

There is a general agreement that
pay for the physical damage she has
done, for the wrecked dwellings and
business buildings, the looted factor
Ties and the forced loans exacted from
conquered cities. But the question
how that vast amount shall be coli
lected is not an easy one to handle.
1t was recently stated that the
damage done to the property of Bel
GUM alone had been estimated at
So, 900, 1000. But as the wealth
of Belgium before the war was esti-
mated at only $4,000, 100000 the
former figures were probably exag-
gerated. 1t would seem however as
tif the physical damage done by Ger
many would be more than sic, 1000
600, 600, every dollar of which she
should pay.
Germany's stock of gold and silver
coin before the war was not probably
/! in excess of 81 900, 100000. Her
paper money could not be accepted
| in payment of an indemnity. The
promise of the German government
to pay is not worth much. Neither
would German bonds be satisfac-
tory form of payment. The world has
no confidence in the good faith Of
any government that Germany may
create.
A considerable sum might be OBJ
tanned by requiring the German peo-
pie to bring in all their gold and sils
yer ornaments. But that would'come
nowhere near paying the indemnity.
Some authorities suggest that our
armies take over German custom
houses, and collect pay through them.
But as the Germans will not be able
to buy much foreign merchandise
for years, the revenues Of these Gus
tom houses may not amount to much.
1t would seem likely that this in
demnity would have to be collected
largely through the labor of the
Germans themselves. Let them work
out their debt by rebuilding the cities
they have levelled to the ground.
That will force into their bcny heads
that they can not do acts of wanton
destruction without having to pay
for them in their own sweat AMI
tears.
