Likes Montana Conditions

Dear Mr.. Downie:
took my Advance out Of the
box few moments ago and noticed
an item relative to Ben koepke and
his jaunt around the Seattle boule-
Yards on New Years day without
an over coat.
Our maximum temperature at
Roundup on that date was 60, and
minimum 38 degrees. A number
of farmers have been blowing re-
Gently, and during the great storms
throughout the east we were favor
ed with exceptionally fine weather.
A light fall of snow is amply pro-
tecting the winter wheat and pros
poets so far are in favor of a real
crop. Furthermore, at no time
have we had a fuel shortage and
we procure good grade of lump
coal at the mines adjacant to
Roundup for SIS. .35 per ton deliver
ed. have heard complaints from
Milbank about the coal that has
been shipped from here. but, un-
derstand that out of town dealers
have not been ordering lump coal.
and I believe it they did their Gus
toners would be satisfied.
Business in all lines appears to
be good. The great need of the
west is money for development. A
small amount Of money carefully
invested here will produce | believe
relatively greater returns than at
Miibank or any place have ever
seen. Especially at this time can
good, producing farm lands be
bought right from the well-known
type Of land -owner whose enthusi-
asm and over confidence led him to
buy more than he could pay for.
There is no question but that now.
before spring opens. is the time to
buy Montana land if the investor
is looking for the lower prices.
Yours very truly.

No Sugar Allowed For Churches, Farm
Sales or Special Meals Of All Kinds.
w. T. McEroy, chief OF the Iowa
sugar division has notified county ad-
ministrators that Iowa's allotment OF
sugar is exactly two pounds per per-
son per month, figured on the popula-
ton of the state and that under any
condition, people may not use more
sugar than has been, allotted them.
Therefore it has been ruled that in
the future no sugar can be allowed
for church suppers, meals at farm
sales, lodge suppers, Red Cross dim
ners, or in fact special meals Of any
kind. Summing the whole subject up
It simply means that for functions OF
this kind the guests will have to
bring their own sugar.
