SEES GREAT FUTURE
FOR ENTIRE STATE
Prominent Livestock Man Pre-
diets Great Development
In Next Decade.

Great Falls, May 24.-Montana is
the greatest state in the union in
that it has greater possibilities than
any other. All this state needs is
population. Its fertile valleys and
wealth of water facilities will do the
rest"
This is the opinion of John Clay,
financier, head of the firm of Clay,
Robinson & Co., of Chicago extensive
livestock dealers and bankers, who
came to Great Falls Tuesday evening
and is at Hotel Rainbow. Mr.. CLAW
will return to Helena today.
ut will take a long time" said Mr..
Clay ito settle up all the vast
stretches of Montana's vacant land,
but it will come. Heavy immigrations
is bound to pour into this state dur
ing the next 10 years and after that
until all the land is taken up and all
the natural resources of the state de-
veloped to their fullest capacity"
MI. Clay is making a tour of the
west inspecting the various cattle and
sheep holdings of his firm, as we'll as
looking over the banking situation
at points where he has interests.
Speaking of the financial conditions
in the United States he said:
"The southern states have most of
the money these days because of their
heavy sales of cotton and the price
obtained for that commodity. This
has caused the western states to feel
more of a shortage of currency than
they should. The southern bankers are
not accustomed to having so much
money on hand, and are not sufficient
ly confident to know just what to do
with it. The result is that much of
it is remaining idle which should be in
circulation.
"The cotton growers have found it
easier to adapt themselves to the
financial status of the times because
Of the commodity they are handling,
The sheep growers of the west have
found it much nor difficult because
of the heavy reduction made in their
ranges by the dry land farmers. In
many instances f1ocks have had to be
cut in half because of these settlers
coming il and taking up the land.
The cattle men have not felt this
dearth to the extent experienced by
sheep growers and consequently r
in better shape.
"While the beef resources Of the
country are very extensive there will
be great demand during the war. The
submarine has proved effective in
sending to the bottom of the sea vast
quantities of American beef and, un-
less some method is devised of starv-
ing them off, are likely to continue 50
to do.
'The vast amount Of money in the
country has caused gold to he CHEAP
and commodities to be corresponding
~ high, and this condition, IS bound
to remain until world affairs alter.
This is Mr.. Clay's first visi: to
Great Falls in Is years. He declared
the city to have all the appearances
of a coming metropolis, principally
because of its being the center Of

+ RED CROSS NEWS +

"Few Americans realize how much

"Her Red Cross membership far on.
ceeded ours in the early days of the
war: and she maintained hospitals in
England, France and Russia for a
whole year, just as we did.
"Like our own these hospitals had
to be given up for a time for lack Of
funds. After this, however, Japan
subscribed and sent a million dollars
to the wounded of the allies. to he
divided pro-rata among them"
Tuberculosis Work.
The Red Cross is building bowling
greens to reduce tuberculosis in
France.
That surprising statement comes
from q report OF the work which is
being done at the Paris hospitals for
incurable victims Of the white plague.
It is Just as important in fighting
tuberculosis, to keep we'll persons
from infection as to cure those who
are infected-more important, indeed.
So the American Red Cross helps to
keep down the mortality figures by
making the municipal hospitals in
Paris so attractive that those who
are dangerous to their own families
because of their disease will consent
to enter the hospitals and stay there.
In five months since the Red Cross
began sending visitors to brighten up
! these gloomy hospitals the number Of
| patients has increased 235 per cent.
Diet kitchens to provide appetizinp
food, sitting rooms pleasantly fur
nished, bowling greens, games, to-
bacco, sewing materials for women
patients, and friendly visiting in ad-
dition to all these gifts, have helped
to bring about that result.
Every time a tuberculosis patient
is removed from dangerous contact
with we'll persons, four or five cases,
perhaps, r Topped off the roll of VIC
Tins. The bowling greens and the
things that go with them are hel,Inp
France in one of her greatest prob
lens.
The junior membership bureau of
the northern division now has on hand
a supply Of programs for entertain
ments during the period of the second
war fund drive.
The material includes the following:
A Red Cross song, set to the tune of
"Keep the Home Fires Burning" a
recitation, "Being a Girl" a Red
Cross pageant; and a dialogue, eff
They Could Meet"
Chapter school committees who are
planning public meetings or exercises
in school auditoriums during the wal
drive, will find the above mentioned
very helpful, and copies of same will
be sent upon request.
Food Conservation. -.
When lunches are served in chapter
workrooms Or at any Red Cross en-
tertainments, the women who are re-
sponsible for these meals should re-
frain from breaking food conservation
rules.
A number of instances, when. ex-
travagant lunches have been served
to Red Cross workers, have been called
to the attention Of A. D. Wilson, fed
eral food administrator for Mime
sofa.
As the work Of the Red Cross and
the food conservation have beer
handled largely by women, and both
organizations r working toward the
same goal, it is expected that each
realizes it's obligation to the other.

MONTANA TO PROTEST
RAIL RATE BOOSTS
Appeal Will be Sent to Director
McAdOo Pointing Out In
justice of Raise.

Because Montana will be harder hit
than any other state by the proposed
increase of 25 per cent in freight
rates the state railroad commission
will probably endeavor to have a mod
ltication secured so far as Montana is
concerned of the plan of Director Cen
eral McAdoo for this 25 per cent
boost.
Rates now effecting Montana points
are said to average higher than those
anywhere else in the country, and if
this proposed increase takes effect it
will mean that Montana grain grow
ers will receive less for their wheat.
stockmen less for their cattle, mining
companies less for their metals, while
the price Of every article and COM
modify used in the state will be in
creased to the consumers. Such a con-
dltlon will seriously hinder the devel-
opment of existing enterprises and
practically preclude the establish
ment OF any new mes.
Spokane now enjoys no higher rates
than those in effect to coast points.
1t was asserted by Thaddeus S. Lane.
president of the Spokane chamber of
commerce, while on a recent visit here.
that Montana could obtain the same
rates if it would take the matter up
with the interstate commerce commits
sion, but this has not been done.
Carriers operating in Montana are
filing daily with the Montana COM
mission copies of of proposed tariffs
carrying the rs per cent increases.
While the commission has no author-
ity. since governmental ownership of
railroads became effective, to prevent
their taking effect, the commission
likely will present the matter before
the proper authorities in Washing
ton.

tenance, and to show the enemy that
he has your moral support in this var.
Your soldier boy knows that his
wants will be taken care Of and his
equipment and ammunition supplied
by the money from Liberty bonds. But
he looks at the War Savings cam
paign as the expression of the opin-
ions of the great mass of our people
as to their moral support of the~war.
Looking at the standing of your coun-
ty from this standpoint, what does
your soldier boy read therein, Is it
a record that you would be proud to
have him read? Would it make you
fight harder if you were in his place :?
Does the record of your county make
the boys you are sending to the can
tonments more enthusiastic for their
training? Does it help make them
eager for the coming battles? Does
it help build in them a spirit of ire
mendous e~arnestness that conquers
even the inevitable horrors of the
war?
Think it over, people of Montana.
Your standing as q state is a little
owe one-half of what it should be.
Do you want that record to stand ?
No, of curse you don't. Then lend
your money to Uncle Sam by buying
War Savings stamps. Buy them for
yourself, buy them for every member
Of your family and e that every one
you know does the same. Record your
vote as being behind the boys in
France and see that every one else
does likewise. Remember, your coun-
try's and states quotas cannot be
raised by a few who are always will
ing to help but must, on account of
the limited amount any one person
can buy, be raised by the many, and
remember that the many means you
and l and every resident of this state.
Show the kaiser that we are solidly
back Of boys There is nothing
but red blood in u army. Let there
be none other at home. Let every
act of the stay-at-homes be an inspir-
alton to the boys in France and to
those among US soon to go. Let the
world know that Montana is the home
of real, true blue Americans. Show
that that no matter where you were
born, you are now enlisted for making
the world safe for democracy, and that
you believe that this condition can
only be brought about by the Stars
and Stripes being carried to uncondi-
tional victory.
There is a big gap in the Montana
home defense line. You, every one
of you, can help to fill it by buying
War Savings stamps to your limit and
by seeing that your friends do likewise.

A Belgian girl of 9, when brought

hunger; so she poached an egg anc

And after ~devouring it, she related
that once a week in occupied Belgium

that the American Red Cross is

ton camp at Cambridge, Mass.
through a letter received at the sal

chapter from F. B. Hubachek, secre
tary Of the unit.
The vests were very we'll made anf
their ingenious manufacture caused
a great deal of comment on the trip
according to Mr.. Hubachek. It would
be a difficult matter to secure leather
vests for all the aviators, and using
the old kid gloves in their manufac
ture means a great saving of leather
for other purposes.
Many requests concerning spira
have been received at Headquarters
Therefore, it seems wise to saw. yer,
