time EXTENDED
ON SEED LOAN
Measure introduced by Slattery
Means Much to Farmers in
this Section.
time EXTENDED TO JANUARY |, 1920
Priority Given to Federal Govern.
ment Liens on Same Bill.-En-
ables Farmers to Procure
This Years Seed.

Senate bill No. so introduced by
Slattery and passed through his un-
tiring efforts, is Of inestimable bene-
fit to the many farmers who procured
loans from the council of defense last
year so as to enable them to procure
seed for their crops, says the Montana
Equity News, the leading farmers pa
per of the state.
The law gives the Montana council
of defense power and authority to ex-
tend until January /, 1920, the time
for the payment of the loans made to
the farmers in 1918, and ratifies and
validates all extensions of time for
payment heretofore made by the coun-
Gil
Another provision Of the Slattery
law is of equal importance. 1t seems
that the federal government could not
loan money to buy seed for the 1919
crops unless the government obtained
a first lien on the crop AS many
farmers who obtained loans in 1918
sustained crop failures in whole or in
part, and the states lien was still
valid and operated as first lien on
the 1919 crop, it was necessary to
provide legislation that would permit
the state to wave it's first lien so as
to give priority to the lien of the fed
eral government and thereby permit
the latter to make loans to the farm
ers in the drouth stricken districts.
This the law specifically provides for,
hence the farmer who had a crop fail
ure in 1918 is now able to obtain
from the federal government money
for his seed this year, even though
he was unable to pay the state the
amount of his lien on the crop of last
year.
Senator Slattery took an active in
terest in Legislation for the welfare of
the farmers and instating his reason
for doing so said: If the farmers of
Montana do not prosper then it is
certain that the state as a whole will
feel the depressing effects of their
unsuccess.

A new confectionery and luncheon

Mr.. Alsop intends having one of

same line of business there isn't any
doubt but what he will have an es-

The place will have a seating ca

Mr.. Alsop has offered five pound
box of candy for the person offering
the most appropriate name for his
place of business, a committee will be
named by him and the suggestions
will be carefully gone over by this
committee on his opening day when

BASEBALL MEETING
NEXT TUESDAY EVENING

A baseball meeting is to be held
in the club rooms Of the Chamber OF
Commerce next Tuesday evening.
The purpose of the meeting is tc
formulate plans for the organizing of
a team for this year. While it is
hardly probable that the local mer.
chants can support a salaried team
this year, nevertheless there is enough
good baseball timber in the city sc
that a strictly home team could be
organized that could hold it's owr
with any team in this part of the
country.
All those interested in Glasgow hav.
ing baseball team this year shoulc
attend Tuesdays meeting.

for their creamery. The agency will
be established April 18th, when a rep
resentative Of the Northern Produce
company will be here with a COM
plete testing outfit and all cream
brought in after that date will be
tested and the highest market price
will be paid for same according to
test.
This agency will be a big benefit
to the farmers as they will be able
to dispose of their cream at better
price and will save themselves the
trouble of having to ship same in or
der to market their product.

OPPOSED TO HOLDING
SPECIAL ELECTION
Primary Law and Boxing Bill Under
Fire-Claim Election Comes
at Busy Time.

A movement that probably will
take organized form in the near fu-
ture is under way in Montana to pre-
vent the special election being held
next September submitting to the vot-
ers the question of amending the pri-
mary law by restoring the convention
system for the selection of candidates
for state and federal offices. The bill
submitting to the voters the legaliz-
ing of boxing in Montana is also to
be submitted at this same election.
The opposition to the proposed
amended primary law hopes to pre-
vent its consideration through re-
course to the referendum provision Of
the constitution which provides that
the legislation can be held up until
submitted to vote of the people by
petitions bearing the signatures of Is
per cent of the voters in two-fifths of
the counties.
They take the position that the
time fixed for the special election
next September-is the busiest time
for the farmers and thousands of them
would be unable to attend the polls;
further, that the election would cost
100000, and that the questions to be
passed upon are not of such urgent
Importance that they could not be
passed upon at the next general cleo
ton and 100000 saved to the tax
payers.
But it is not altogether certain that
the referendum provision of the con-
stitution can be invoked for the pur-
pose Of holding up the reference of
these two bills to the people, unless
such action could be justified on the
saving of the cost of the special cleo
ton.
1t is understood the movement in
opposition to any change of the pri-
mary law will be definitely organized
in the near future, and court proceed
ings may be necessary to determine
whether or not the referendum pro-
visions of the constitution may be in
voked.

HOMES THREE YEARS AGO.

The old clothes drive, under the di-
rectlon of the Red Cross, is now on.
1t is desired that the largest pos
sible quantity be secured in all dis
tricts as the situation in some Euro
pean sections is most distressing
Western Asia alone reports tens of
thousands homeless, clad only in rag
remnants of clothing worn when driv-
en- from homes three years ago.
Competent authority says that the
suffering is so acute that words are
inadequate to describe it.
Every kind of garment, for all ages
and both sexes, is urgently needed.
In addition flannel and other kinds
of cloth from which to make garments
for new born babies, ticking, sheet
ing and blankets, wollen goods of any
kind-and shoes of every size are ask
ed for. Scrap leather is needed for
repairing footwear.
Since the clothes will be subjected
to the hardest kind of wear, only gar
ments of strong and durable mater
ials should be sent. 1t is useless tc
offer any afflicted population gar
ments of flimsy material. Make the
gifts practical.
Garments need not be in perfect
condition. Many thousand destitute
women in the occupied regions are
eager to earn a small livelihood by
repairing gift clothing and making
new garments adapted to needs with
which they are familiar.
The garments needed are:
Mems Wear-Shirst preferably of
light colored flannels) &, undershirts, un-
derdrawers, trousers, coats, work
suits, suits, shoes, overcoats, jerseys
sweaters, sweater vests, socks.
Women's Wear-Skirts, drawers
corset slips, shirts, coats, suits e
piece). cloth hats, knitted caps, stock
ings, petticoats, blouses, shoes.
Boys Wear-Shirts, union suits, un-
dershirts, coats, suits, trousers, over
coats, Jerseys, socks, stockings, sweat
ers.
Girls Wear-Dresses, swirts, over
coats, nightdresses, drawers, stock
ings, undergarments, shoes, petit
coats, suits, blouses, waists.
Boys and Girls Wear-Hooded
caps, pinafores, woolen union SUITS,
Infants Wear-Baby blankets, baby
shirts, sweaters, shawls, shoes, bon,
nets, bibs, diapers, shoes, bootees, BIN
ders, baby dresses, jacekts.
Miscellaneous-Bedticks, bedsheets
pillow cases, blankets, mufflers.
Wooden goods of any kind whatso,
ever are acceptable; soft hats and caps
for all ages, and sweaters of any klnc
and size.
Mems shirts and pajamas, so worr
or shrunken as no longer to be ser.
viceable are particularly welcome
since the material can be utilized fol
making children's garments.

The subsidiary companies Of the
Steel Corporation, Judge Gary also
stated, undertook special research work
in their laboratories with the view of
developing new forms of materials de-
sired for war purposes and processes
for obtaining quantity production.
Some of the directions in which this
research work developed practical re-
suits were the following:
The governments first specifications
for chemicals used in the manufacture
of gas masks were based on data fur
nished by the American Sheet and Tin
Plate Company. This subsidiary prop
erty also furnished substantially all
the steel sheets required by the War
Department for the manufacture Of
helmets.
The American Bridge Company de-
signed and fabricated a special rail
way mount for naval guns, and up to
the time of the signing of the arms-
tlce seventeen gun mounts for this
purpose had been completed and
shipped. A number performed effec-
tive service at the front.
Gas and mortar shells designed by
the National Tube Company were the
only ones of their kind delivered in
France in time to be used, and thew
we're satisfactory in every particular.
Upward of two hundred officials and
experienced employees of the corpora
tion and its subsidiary companies were
granted leaves of absence during the
war to connect themselves with vari-
