THRIFT STAMPS FOR
STATE FAIR PREMIUMS
Officials Favor Highly Patriotic
Move to Encourage Thrift
and Defeat Kaiser.

"Thrifties, 'tenshun! Shoulder arms
-for'ard march! Hep, hep, hep.
There they come-.a long green line
reach. They are several thousand
strong and make a formidable show
ing. And what's more, they'll live up
the kaiser q wallop. Each thrifty's
back il covered with mucilage espe-
cially- designed to tangle up the Hun
flies that are sucking the blood of
civilization.
The line stops in front of the Mon
tana state fair office and the officer
in command steps inside for further
orders. "A brief interval and he re-
turns to the waiting army Of green
thrifties-an army of trained little
soldiers green only in appearance
(camouflage to hide their deadly pur-
pose from the kaiser). A few terse
commands and the army breaks into
double-quick time and in q few min
utes goes into camp alongside the
191 8premium list Of the Montana
State fair.
All of which refers to q recent high
ly patriotic nov by the management
of the Montana state fair. It is plan
ned to make part payments Of all
cash premiums in thrift stamps this
year-and as the cash prizes total we'll
over $4,000 q total of several thous-
and dollars will be paid out in Uncle
Sans government bond nest eggs"
thrift stamps. By this method it is
hoped to hatch out a large number of
"Baby Bonds"-and each baby bond
will want to grow upinto a Liberty
Bond" And they'll all be fighting for
country!
If every county fair and every state
fair would act along the same lines
as the Montana state fair in making
pro rata premium awards in thrift
stamps, the final results would un-
doubleday run into several million dol
lars-money that would be turned in
to the national treasury to carry the
war to a victorious conclusion. At the
same time it would be a tremendous
movement for good in encouraging
national thrift.
1t is hoped that all county fairs in
Montana will follow the example of
the Montana state fair in offering
thrift stamps as premiums.

COMMERCIAL CLUE SECRETARIES WILL AID
FIGHT OF HELENA AUTO ASSOCIATION TO
LOWER COST OF G~ASOLINE-TO L
ASK FOR LOWER FAIR +

The Montana Association of Com
mercial club secretaries which met in
Helena last week to discuss and ar
range for a survey Of the war indus
tries and resources of this state in
conjunction with A. V. Williams, a
government agent, who oon will 60
to Helena to take up the work, vsted
to lend every assistance in gathering
information which may help to reduce
the price Of gasoline and other petro-
leum products to the Montana consum-
ers of those commodities.
The Helena Automobile association
recently took up the matter of the
high cost of gasoline and named a
committee to investigate and make
report at a later date. Yesterday
Charles r. Brazier, secretary of that
organization, appeared before the
commercial club secretaries and ask
ed for their assistance in the mat
ter.
$4,000 Auto Owners.
Mr.. Brazier pointed out to the Sec
retaries that there are now $4,000
automobile owners in Montana who
r suffering from the unjust prices of
gasoline and called attention to the
fac THAT in St. Paul, Spokane, Seat
tie and other cities which are located
further from producing all fields than
is Montana, the price of gasoline is
from 10 to Is cents a gallon lower than
it is in this state. MI. Brazier also
referred to the fact that the high cost
of gasoline and other petroleum pro-
ducts is proving a great handicap to
the farmers of the state who are
operating tractors and who are en-
deavoring to farm an unusually large
acreage in order to help increase the
food supply 50 badly needed for the
allied nations and the allied armies.
Pledge Their Support.
Following his talk upon the mat
ter, it was discussed thoroughly and
a motion passed pledging the assist
ance of the association. The secre-
tary was instructed to notify every
commercial club secretary of the state
regarding the investigation and re-
quest all to cooperate. Sam Joseph
son of Roundup was elected secretary
Of the state association in the place
of Dudley Richards of Missoula, who
has Joined the army.
d. h. Cotton of St. Paul, who was
expected to represent the wal board
az n meeting, was unable to reach
Helena in time. Scott Leavitt, state
director Of the federal employment
service, spoke upon the labor situa-
ton, and Henry Gerharz, state direc-
tor of the four-minute men, asked the
cooperation of the secretaries in car
rying out the work of the four-minute
men in rural communities.
State Fair Rates.
Secretary Horace E. Ensign of the
State fair attended the meet
ing and brought up the matter of the
fair having failed to secure excursion
rates this year. A committee COM
posed Of Quincy Scott of Missoula,
L. F. Jones of Glasgow, and H. H.
Robinson Of Miles City was named to
petition Director General McAdoo,
asking for the re-establishment of ex-
cursion rates to state fairs.

few weeks, to the one supreme job of
saving the big wheat crop. From
every town and city in the state, men,
women and boys, in such numbers as
were necessary, went to the fields; the
men to work as harvest hands, the
women to cook for the volunteer army
OF harvesters, the boys to fit in wher-
ever they could best serve. This
Kansas harvest army of nearly
100000 mel did the job. All the out
side help that could be secured was
used, Of course, but by far the larg-
est part of the help came from RICH.

just. simply couldn't do it, and who
wouldn't be tolerated by the farm
ers!

AND, in just the same way, the war
winning wheat crops will be harvested
in Nebraska and Minnesota and North
Dakota and South Dakota! In just
n same way, when necessary and
w!nere necessary, crops will be saved
in every state. OF course, it can't be
done! For that we have the word Of
many eminent critics Of the United
States department Of agriculture and
the government in general. No doubt
the kaiser himself has said so, and
surely the crown prince will sustain
the statement if further authority be
necessary. It just can't be done! But
the simple weaklings Of Kansas seem
to pay more attention to straight
from-the-shoulder, get-there-or-bust
American c~ommon-sense than they do
to Prussianish cant do it" clap-trap
and to skyscraper editors of literary
journals de luxe who write prettily
phrased editorials giving .plethoras Of
tain. Kansas seems to like to do bet
ter than to listen to VIII Wit is impos-
sible to do. Kansas just goes ahead
and harvests the wheat anyhow!
Your state will do likewise! True,
it can't be done! The faint-hearted
and the Hun-hearted will tell o so
on every hand-so, do it!

GET SALT FKUM SEA WATER
Old Method of Obtaining Necessary Of
Life Is Still Practiced in
Various Places.

The use of salt for seasoning and
preserving foods is so ancient that
the earliest written records refer to
it, says writer in Popular Science
Monthly. For many centuries prac-
tically all the salt used by the human
race was procured by the evaporation
of sea water.
This method of obtaining salt is
still employed in many localities where
the conditions are favorable. A fiat
stretch of sea coast and hot and
dry climate are necessary if salt is
to be got from sea water. An ideal
locality for this industry is the coast
on the Bay of Cadis, Spain.
The sea water is allowed to collect
in shallow basins, barely above high
water mark. AS the water evaporHtes
the various salts contained in the sea
water crystalline out and form a crust,
which is removed and Shoveled in
small heaps. There the salts undergo
the first stage of publication.
The edible salt is drained from the
other salts, which constitute the great
er part of the impurities. The edible
salt cryStalliZcs out first, while the
other salts retain the water and form
concentrated brine which Is allowed
TO run into bitches dug for that pur-
pose.
The partly purified salt Is then gath
cred into large heaps. Occasional
rains wash out the more easily soluble
impurities, and the hot sun dries tho
salt on the surface of the pile. Al
though it still contains about IS per
cent of impurities it Is shipped in
large quantities without further rctin-
ing.

What Is the course OF the disease7
Do people die of it7
"OrdinariIy, the fever lasts from
three to four days and the patient re-
covers. But while the proportion of
Il, aths In the present epidemic has
generally been low, in some places the
outbreak has been severe and deaths
have been numerous When death oc-
ours It is usually the result Of com
plicntion."
What causes the disease and how Is
It spread?
"RncteriologiSts who have studied In
huenza epdcmics in the past have
found In many Of the cases very
small rod-shapcu germ called, htter itS
discov pfcifTrr's bacillus In other
cases of apparently the same kind of
dispGsc there were found pncunocorci,
the germs OF lobar pneumonia. still
others have been caused by slrrpto-
cocci. and by others germs with long
names.
NO matter what particular KIND OF
germ causes the epidemic, 1t is now
believed that influenza IS always
spread from person To person, the
germs being carried with the air along
with the very small dropletS Of mucus,
expelled by coughing or sne"Zing,
forceful talking, and the like by one
who already has the germs Of the dis
ease. They may also be carried about
in the air IN the form of dust coming
from dried mucus, from coughing ana
SneeZing. or from careless people VINO
spit on the floor and on the sidewalk.
As In most other catching diseases, a
person who has only Il mild attack of
the disease himself may give very
severe attuck To others
What should be done by those who
catch the disease?
1T is very important that every per
son who becomes sick with influenza
should 20 home at once and 20 to hed.
This will help keep away dangerous
complications and will, al the sam"
time. keep the patient from scattering
the disease far and wide. II is li-ltIN
desirable that no one be allowed 10
