EXCELLENT SHOWING
MADE BY GLASGOW HIGH
Miss Olive Mckay Wins State
Essay Contest and Basket
Ball Team Defeats Helena.

Glasgow made remarkable record
in the state college basket ball tourna-
ment which the Montana state college
conducted at Livingston, March go.
Her basket ball team just failed of
place among the first eight in the
tournament, but had the honor of de-
feating Helena decisively in the Sec
ond game of the tournament; played
the state champions, Gallatin county,
to a score of I'LL; and lost their
third game to Corvallis by only one
point.
Miss Olive Mckay won first place
in the state essay contest with the
gold medal. Miss Mckay is a sopho-
more in the Glasgow High school. Last
year she won first place in the state
extemporaneous contest. Second place
in the essay contest went to Ronald
Kain of the Helena High school who
was also a member of Helena's bas-
ket ball team. Third place was award
ed to Miss Hazel Bombard of Mis-
soula.
Several hundred students in Mon
tana High schools took part in the
local preliminary essay contest. Not
to exceed five of the best papers pre-
pared in twenty Of the High schools

number five best were selected and the

The opening chorus, "Well Never

the price of admission. This song is
being sung from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast, and by our boys "over
there" as well as at all the training
camps. United States will be repre-

NEWrSEDITI0N Law TO

Sympathizers of Hun "Baby.

Under New Law.

One of the most important bills
passed at the extraordinary session of
the Montana state legislature was the
act defining the crime of sedition and
prescribing punishment therefor. Dur
ing the past few months many allies
of the kaiser in this country have
evaded punishment through some tech
nical legal point. The new law is very
comprehensive and placed these peo-
pie in an unenviable light, should they
come up for trial.
The law as drafted follows:
Section /. Whenever the United
States shall be engaged in war, any
person or persons who shall utter,
print, write or publish any disloyal,
profane, violent scurrilous, contempt
uous, slurring or abusive language

That Valley county is doing her

evidenced by the fact that during the

the local board here for different
branches of the service.

Though the fact was not made pub

Such results - these in a state

great credit on the students and

CALL
FOR 10000 men
Local Board Notified to Prepare
to Furnish II Men
on Call.
MONTANA QUOTA OF CALL S21 NET
Bona Eide Agricultural Workers to
be Passed for Present by
Order of General
Crowder.

The Valley county local board re-
ceived notification Tuesday that an
emergency call had been made for
10000 men under the draft and yester-
day morning Sheriff Powell received
notice to make preparations at once
to send Valley county's quota, seven
teen men, upon call. Just when the
call will be made is uncertain at this
time but it is expected that the men
will be called about March goth.
Sheriff Powell requests that all reg
istered men with low order, numbers,
who have passed the medical exam
ination for the 1st class, to watch their
mail closely and hold themselves
in readiness for an immediate
call. Montana's portion of the 10000
will be 521 men. This call is based on
the old population apportionment and
is probably the last call that will be
made on this basis, later calls being
based on the number of class men in
the different states.
In view of the need for farm
labor, the president directs that To-
cal boards, in filling this emergency
can, shall pass the order number of
such men-farm laborers-and defer
their call for the present.
"It must be borne in mind, how
ever" says the telegram, "that this
is solely for the need of the nation,
.and not for the individual"
The local boards are charged to
use the greatest care in this mat
ter; and, if later, farm laborers
who are noted, either by the local
boards or by citizens, not giving
their time and labor to agricultural
pursuits, they shall be called up
for immediate service. Citizens are
called upon to furnish to local
boards information of such cases Of
dereliction to farm work.

WILL Be NIP and TUCK"
IN GREAT WORLD WAR
LACK of Food Will Lose the
War" Says Prominent
s3 Montana Woman.

"Lack of food where needed will
lose the war;" This summarizes the
impression of Miss L. A. Harkins,
head of the home science department
of the state college, who, is acting as
home science director for food ad-
ministration for Montana.
Miss Harkins has just returned
from a trip to Washington where she
attended a conference of all the home
science directors. Continuing Miss
Harkins said that "the most recent
information on the wheat situation in
dicates there will not be enough wheat
to make the necessary shipments and
to feed America until the new crops
comes in, unless substitutes are con-
sumed in increasing amount. The sit
uation is so acute that everyone in
America must do as everyone in
Germany are doing, they simply must
save wheat to the limit.
Potatoes should be eaten in increas-
ing quantities. There are plenty of
potatoes and they should be substi-
tuted for wheat. My impression was
that it will be nip and tuck which side
can hold out the longest. The food
supply will determine the holding
power of the different armies"
Miss Harkins finds the east very
favorably impressed with the food
conservation and the splendid observ-
ance of the food administration in
the west. Montana stands we'll among
the states in the point of observance.
"Every meal we eat is direct mil
itary factor" is another of Miss Har-
kins' conclusions. America must make
definite and conscious effort to save
wheat especially, for little waste
here and there may make enough diff
ference to endanger the prospects of
the allied success.
While in Washington Miss Harkins
arranged to have Miss Arnold, the
dean of Simons college in Boston,
come to Montana and visit several
cities. Miss Arnold is one of the lead
ing members of the staff Of workers
in the women's division of the food
administration.

DO NOT ASK FOR WHITE BREAD

DO NOT ASK FOR WHITE BREAD
The people Of Montana are urged
to eat the brown or dark bread in so
far as this is possible. Bakers are
now forced to use twenty per cent of
substitutes in all the bread that is
baked and where buyers insist on
white bread the baker must procure
white corn meal Or some other SUBJ
stitutes that are hard to get. Bran
and shorts are on the bakers list and
these commodities are available in
the state. While these make the bread
brown or dark the public ought to
realize that such breads are healthful
and such substitutes are readily avail
able.
Buy the dark bread made from the
local substitutes as this will help out
the transportation situation because
the baker can get these substitutes
most easily here in Montana.

FOOD SITUATION IS
BECOMING ALARMING
Only One Weeks Supply of Flour
on Hand in France for
Our Armies.

Because. of startling shortage of
wheat flour for Americas army in
France, Food Administrator Atkinson
of Montana, after receipt of advices
from Washington, D. c., has ordered
the promulgation of new rules regard
ing the use and sale of wheat -four in
Montana.
The new proclamation by the Mon
tana food administrator provides that
on and after Monday, March II, the
sale of wheat -four must be on the
"fifty-fifty" basis, and that is, all sales
of wheat flour must be accompanied
by the sale of an equal weight of
wheat -four substitutes.
Following is the authorized list of
wheat -four substitutes in Montana on
and after March II: Corn meal, corn
starch, corn -four, hominy, corn grits,
barley -four, rice, rice flour, oatmeal,
rolled oats, buckwheat flour, potato
-four, sweet potato -four, soya bean
-four, feterita flour and meal and po-
tatoes. All these substitutes must be
sold in equal portions with the wheat
sold, although one or more substitutes
may be combined to make up the
weight of the flour sold at the same
time. Where potatoes are used as a
substitute, they must be sold in the
proportion of four pounds of potatoes
to one pound of -four. The above list
does not include bran and shorts which
have been in the substitute list for the
past two weeks.
"The situation in France is serious, y
