BOND STATE FOR FARMERS AID.
$500,00O viii BE Loaned to Montana
Farmers to Aid i'm Production of
Unparalleled Wheat Crop.

That Montana people are in earnest
in their efforts to aid in the production
of an unusual wheat acreage in this
country this year is evidenced by the
fact that at a recent special session of
the legislature in that state a 100000
bond issue was authorized, which will
be converted into small loans to farm
ers throughout that great common
wealth to aid them in increasing their
wheat production.
These bonds are to be known as Mon
tan war bonds, and they will be dis
posed of through the state board of ex-
aminers.
The board has decided that the bonds
shall be issued in denominations of
$500 and that they shall bear interest
at the rate of 6 per cent. They are to
run for five years and u levy of one
eighth of a mill is to be made to pay
the interest and retire them. The mon
ey is to be loaned to the farmers and
it is the expectation hat a large part,
if not all, of the advances will be re-
paid when the crops are harvested in
the fall.

CIGARS ARE SCARCE IN FRANCE.
Lieutenant Haynes Wouldn't Mind o
Good Smoke, II You Have One
That You Can Spare.

Ralph w. Wood of Saratoga has re-
ceived the following letter from his
cousin, Lieut.. Waldo f. Haynes, who
is now Somewhere in France" Mr..
Haynes is well known in Carbon coun-
ty and on his last visit spent some time
in the valley in recruiting work. He
says:
well, 1 am here in sunny France,
and it is sure some grand country. 1
have e some little bit Of France al
ready, but of course all away back of
the firing line, where the effects of the
war do not show up very much. At this
place it reminds me very much of my
home in Florida-lots of pine trees and
sand and the country rather level. 1t
is raining a little this morning, but the
weather has been fine, with plenty Of
real sunshine.
There are a great many things 1
would like to write about, but we must
be very careful what we say in u
letters, which are censored. We are
not allowed to mention the names of
any towns at all, or anything of our
military work, SO you see it don't leave
you much to write about, but it may
save our own skins, so we should
worry.
Had a fine trip coming over. Was
not seasick at all.
Uncle Sam is sure taking fine care
of his boys over here-even better than
lots Of them get In the states. OF
course, it is not all fun, but they are
soldiers now, and take it from me they
are darn good ones.
We'll, there don't seem to be a great
deal more 1 a say now, but will write
as often as L ear By the way, Ralph,
do they have any cigars in Saratoga?
l am just wondering. They don't. have
many in France.
Give my best regards to all my old
friends there and tell them 1 hope to
be back and make my home in Wyom-
ing again before many years. Please
excuse pencil, as 1 have lost my foun-
tain pen and have not been able to To-
cate another"
Signed, "Waldo F. Haynes, First
Lieutenant, 14Sth Field Artillery,

State Food Administrator Urges Dis
continuance Of Afternoon. Teas
and Midnight Feeds"

..There is a terrible waste of food be-
inc made at social and public gather
inrs.' says Food Administrator Theo-
dore Diers Of Wyoming, in an interview
made public this week, "and the time
has come for plain language. The
newspapers that carry a constant ap-
neal for food conservation are filled
with accounts of parties and spreads
where worlds of food are wasted.
The fourth meal, whether an after
noon tea or a midnight feed, has no
place in our present life. Much of our
entertainment in the home, in the lodge
and in the club has been built around
eating and the refreshments have been
n delightful part of our social events.
This food has never been supplied for
n%ourishment, but was offered for the
purpose of hospitality and entertain.
ment.
The present crisis has taken thou
sands of the boys of this country, who
must be properly fed if victory shall
crown their noble efforts. The removal
of these boys from industrial pursuits
has greatly decreased h crop produc-
zion, both here and in Europe. The
shortage of food must be taken care of
in America. In addition to this, we
must always face the submarine, which
makes the transportation of food most
difficult. Germany hopes to win this
war by starving the allies, and these
hopes are not entirely without founda-
ton. We are going to win this war,
but we must properly organize our ev-
cry food to accomplish our
task.
Our people must realize that indulg-
ence in unnecessary meals will affect
our food supply in the same as
the submarine. 1t is nothing but a
useless waste of food. The American
woman can easily change her habits to
meet the situation and use her ingenu-
iy in planning her social affairs. They
should not be discontinued, but the
serving of food, aside from necessary
meals, should be abolished.
This does not apply to food demon
stration for educational purposes.
When one woman has found a method
for utilizing some substitute she ought
to tell it to her neighbors and friends.
A good way to tell it is to demonstrate
it, yet the demonstration should be made
on a small scale and without the inten-
ton of feeding the audience.
Social affairs are necessary to keep
up the American spirit, but the fourth
meal is quite unnecessary and is a dan
ger to the American boys in France
who are depending Upon us for food
to win the war;"

street side Of the Hays Drug Store, and
that the Wolf Hotel corner and some
other properties along the main streets
are to be adorned with cement walks
this spring, unless present plans mis-
carry. These improvements have been
badly needed fOr many years, and with
the completion of these sections it is
altogether likely that other property
owners will see the necessity for a like
improvement and get busy.

PREPARING FOR BUSY SEASON.
Garage Men Of Saratoga and Eneamp-
ment Making Large Improve
ments i'm Business Places.

Considerable improvements have
been started this week at the D.. s.
Richmond Garage in Saratoga, looking
to h enlargement of that institution
to twice its present size. Mr.. Rich
mond is having the stalls and other liv-
cry barn paraphernalia torn out of the
north side of his building and all
will hereafter be in one room, with &C.
ment floor throughout. The automo-
bile storage room will now have n floor
space of about 6Ox60 feet, and will be
the largest and most commodious in
the valley.
The large 60-foot steel rods to sup
port the building are being welded to-
day and the necessary timbers are on
the ground In preparation for the con-
struction work, which will be started
within a day or two. The work will be
done by A. N. McManis and his assist
ants, who nave been employed most of
the winter on the construction of new
buildings at the w. L. Sears ranch.
When these improvements and others
contemplated have been completed, Mr..
Richmond will have one of the larg-
est and best arranged garages in the
county.
At Encampment a line new concrete
building is now in course of construc-
ton on the northwest corner of the
block in which the Encampment State
Bank is located. This structure will be
occupied by the National Garage, under
the management Of Elvin Tilton, which
establishment now occupies the Ferree
building.
The new building is to be 5Ox75 feet
in size, all of concrete and cement, with
large office and accessory sales room,
"A large repair room with two pits, with
large driving entrance in front and al
so an entrance from each side. The
building will be of up-to-date construc-
ton, steam-heated throughout, and will
be a first-class garage in every respect.

handle only the best in automobile sup
plies and accessories, his lines repre-
senting the highest quality obtainable

Ford's Denver Branch Closed.

Wyoming and other states, residents
of which have been accustomed to look
to Denver as the distributing center for
Ford automobiles, hereafter are to be
served from elsewhere, as a result Of
an order from the central factory at
Detroit, closing the Denver branch.
Hereafter that branch will supply re-
pairs only.
1t is considered probable that Ford
machines will now come to Wyoming
from Omaha or other points farther
east.
Necessity of adapting the business to
wartime conditions has been assigned
as the reason for the temporary clos
ing of the car distributing house at
Denver. 4
