FARMERS EXPOSE
BIG SHIP GRAFT

Continued from Page One)
ernment are now fighting the
demand of organized farmers
and organized labor of America
that these ships constructed
with the peoples money be re-
tanned by the Government and
operated for the benefit of the
entire people instead of to en-
rich a few financial interests.
These financial interests have
been very clever in getting hold
Of the ships and seem to think
that possession is nine points of
law, but that the Greene bill
should be passed to enable them
to get the extra point, and hang
onto the ships. The rights of
American producers and con-
sumers must not be thwarted
by the greed of the country's
big financiers. The people must
hold on to their ships"

OPERATE MINES

Bismarck 49, Declaring mar
tial law in the several soft-coal
mining sections of North Da-
kota, Governor Lynn J. Frazier,
shortly after midnight, an
nounced that the state would
take over and operate at once
the mines of the state.
In a proclamation issued at
1:45 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, the governor ordered Ad-
jutant General Fraser to as
sumo charge of the mining in
dustry of the state, see to it
that the mines were reopened
at once, that the people of the
state wcrc SUPPLIED with coal
supplies as soon as possible and
that all persons interfering in
the production of the mines
were arrested and kept under
guard until the operators and
miners had reached an agree
ment.
General Fraser was instruct

POLES ARE STARVING
100000 NATIVES OF
UKRAINIA, CLAIM
John J. Ardan Charges Situa-
ti0n Due to Power Given BY
Peace Board.

Washington, Nov. 12.-Be-
cause the peace conference
handed Ukrainian Galicia over
to Poland 100000 Ukrainians
are on the verge of starvation
and thousands are dying in Pol
ish prison camps, according to
John J. Ardan, representative
of the Friends of Ukraine.
'"The direct cause of the
present horrible state of affairs
is the fact that the peace con-
ference in violation of every
principle of right and justice
has subjected these 100000
Ukrainians, and the territory
where they indisputably pre-
dominate against their express
ed will, to the tender mercies of
their enemies, the Polish aris-
tocracy and bureaucracy, with
whom these very Ukrainians
have been fighting a defensive
war against for centuries, said
Mr.. Ardan.
Had these 100000 Ukrain-
ians formerly subjects of Aus
tria) not been separated by the
peace conference from about
35,O00,000 Ukrainians (former-
iy subjects of Russia) with
whom they united after the COL
lapse of Austria, the exceeding
ly good crops in Russian Uk-
raine would have been more
than sufficient to save their
lives, neither would they have
to die in Polish prison camps.
No help was given to these Uk.
rainians by the American re-
lief administration.
also the Polish military oc-
cupation of Ukrainian Galicia
prevents the 100000 Ukrainians
from sending any help to their
brethren across the sea, who
seemingly have been sentenced
to death by the Polish authori-
ties.

ASSESSOR HILL
BOOSTS SOAP LAKE

Mr.. and Mrs. H. 3. Hill, who
recently returned from a six
weeks stay at Soap Lake, WASH
ington, for the benefit of MIR.
Hills health, speak very highly
Of the curative properties of the
water at that place and say
that it is particularly etficacious
in cases of rheumatism and all
forms of skin and blood dis
eases.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hill left Plenty
wood on the 18th of August and
arrived at Soap Lake on 18th,
but owing to a meeting called
Of the Assessors of the State
by the State Board of Equaliza-
ton to meet in Helena on Aug
ust 25th, Mr.. Hill returned to
Helena to attend this meeting,
and consequently made his stay
at Soap Lake shorter than an
ticiDated.
The waters of this remark
able lake are unique in it's pro-
perties, says Mr.. Hill, and is
situated in a basin 1T miles
west of Spokane on the main
line of the Great Northern rail
way; two and one-haif miles
from the railroad station. The
town consists of a number of
cottages and tents around the
lake, and there are three good
sized hotels, besides a number
of smaller ones, the accommo-
dations being quite reasonable
in price.
In August, the height of the
fruit and vegetable season, ev-
erything of that description
was quite cheap, and Of the
finest quality.
At the time Mr.. and Mrs. Hill
arrived, it was estimated that
there were upwards Of 1000
people from all parts of the
world at the resort for the bene-
fit of their health.
Mr.. Hill returns much inn

action either to operate the
mines or guard them, unless
serious disorder threatens at
some point. The purpose of de-
ciaring martial law, it is said,
was to enable the state govern
ment to act with greatest free
dom should any differences
arise.
Coal miners said they would
return to work under state op-
GRAFTON of the mines, but that
they would refuse to work un-
der present conditions even af-
ter receiving orders from the
united mine workers general
officers cancelling the previous
nation wide strike order.
To Keep People Warm
Governor Frazier's Office,
working in conjunction with
the board of railroad commits
sioners, took up these problems
with the federal railroad ad-
ministration to expedite ship
ments of coal from the head Of
the lakes to the suffering towns.
Even the few days in which the
Ignite mines have been shut
down have cut a big hole in the
states supply, and this situa-
tion, it was said at the office of
the governor, made it more i'm
perative than ever that not a
day after the expiration of the
ultimatum should elapse before
the mines were put into opera
tion again.
What process will be followed
by the state in taking over the
mines should there be develop
ments by which the men would
not come to an agreement with
the operators and return to
work, or should they refuse to
obey the orders of their union
chiefs, could not be officially as
certained today. There were
several conferences at the cap
ital among officials at which the
governor was present. The
commonest report which could
not be verified, was that depu-
ties would be sworn in around
each mine which was not in
operation, and a coal producing
district marked out which would
be under control of the state.
In this connection a report
that one fairly large non-union
mine was not operating at a
time when the state was in the
most present need of fuel in it's
history, was the cause of much
comment. Reports that nom
union as we'll as union mines,
should they not go to producing
to meet the needs of the state,
would be included in state oper-
ations, we're current, but no Of
ficial would say whether or not
such a contingency had been
considered.

POULTRY HINTS
FOR NOVEMBER

1. Culling. Continue to Gull
out and either sell or can all the
old, thin, sick hens which have
not laid and will not lay this
winter. Get rid of all small,
immature and weak pullets, for
a pullet in order to lay well this
winter must be about ready to
lay now, if she does not start
laying this month the chances
are that she won't until warm
weather comes in the spring.
Mark your best layers and use
them for your breeders next
spring, make your plans now to
get what roosters you will need
in the spring, for then they will
be hard to get. If you have
some good breeders that you
cannot use yourself don't sell
them, but advertise them in the
Farm Bureau News and help
the other fellow who is looking
for good stock.
2. Housing. If you have not
already done so don't put off
any longer fixing up that poul-
try house. No matter how good
stock you have if they do not
have a proper house they will
not lay this winter. Every
house has a problem all it's own
so that it is impossible to tell
here exactly what to do, but a
house should have the following
points: Plenty of sunlight,
fresh air, free from dampness
and drafts. It should be as low
as possible and still high enough
to work in comfortably. If you
are planning to build new
house the Farm Bureau have
blue-prints that may be OBJ
tanned at cost. If you are not
sure just the best way to rear
range your house make a sketch
and diagram of end and front,
giving dimensions, showing po-
sitions of windows and doors
and send to Farm Bureau ofsce
and they will be glad to offer
you suggestions.
3. Disease. Watch out for
disease and dispose of any
which show weakness. Win
ter only the healthy, strong
and vigorous birds. Watch out
for colds and roup, this is the
time Of year when it is ant to
appear. Prevention is better
than cure. Hens properly fed
and housed seldom gets colds
or roup.
tuberculosis is a disease that
is pretty we'll spread over Mon
tana. If you suspect that your
hens may have it, examine the
liver and see if it is spotted.
Then if there is any doubt send
a hen to the Poultry Depart
ment at Bozeman for diagnos-
is.
See that the hens and pullets
are free from lice and mites be-
fore being shut IN for the win
ter. Remember that blue oint-
ment will get the lice and stock
dip sprayed around the same
will kill the mites

T congratulate the City of New 1 Britain on it's efficient preparation 1 for the day, and I congratulate the istate on having such R community. 1 One of the rarest of virtues in pub 1 lie life today is gratitude, and when l 6 city shows by such an outpouring l of it's people that it is indeed grate- 1 full to the men who sacrificed their 1 time and energy for the preserva- l ton of our free institutions it is 1 doing honor alike to it's service men
 and to itself
 There struck me, as I watched the procession today, the same ought that was forced upon me when 1 witnessed the review of the gallant 26th division under General Edwards in Boston in April; and the equally compelling sentiment created by the review of the First division
 under General McGlaohin in Wash ington this week; that the men who ie it their vacations to carry the flag
 of the United States to victory have
 something which no man can take
 from them, the great consciousness Of d duty well done.
 'There is epitomized in this cele-
 hration today the story of the whole
 ratiCn in the war The executive,
 the legislative, and the judicial
 branches of our government are rep
 resented. We have seen pass before
 us the flower of the military of Con
 nectlcut and citizens of the whole
 community have laid aside their work
 for the day and have come together
 10 do honor alike to the quick and
 the dead. For in the midst of our
 inir af 70 nf ioa
 and navies of the war, we can not
 and must not for one moment forget
 the great sacrifices of the men who went out from us to the battlefield CT who went down to the sea in ships to seal with their life blood new Declaration of Independence. The dlsa hed, the blind, and the lame who have come out from the great con-
 nic1 maimed for life must be forever
 cur great care. Their wounds must
 not be a handicap to them but must instead be their badges of Valor and
 must entitlc them to first considera- tion in the lives of our people. And what are we to say to those whose efforts alleviated the suffer jngs of the men in arms, our surgeons
 and nurses who followed the troops
 under the banner of the Red Cross and brought cheer and hope when cheer and hope were needed. We can not say too much of the success of their work and their record will be cherished in our memories. Our hearts go out today to the members
 of the welfare organizations many of whom were barred from actual par ticipation in the conflict on account of physical reasons who, neVerthe- less, volunteered to carry creature
 comforts wherever the battle ragged thickest.
 And it is well to recall here that tue army behind the army was all ways recruited to full strength. Con necticut early became the arsenal of the land and the manufacturing con
 cerns of this city worked night and day to turn out munitions so that W hen the test came the American
