TWO MILLION ARMY BLANKETS
OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC

Washington, August 1.-The war
department offered for sale to the
public today it's surplus supply of
wool, cotton and mixed fabric blan-
kets, of which approximately 2,ooo,-
900 are now available for the market
under conditions which will make them
directly available to the ultimate con-
sumner.
1t was announced that instead of
restricting the sale to bale lots of
twenty or twenty-five blankets as was
originally planned, an Individual may
buy one or more blankets up to the
limit Of n bale. This change in the
sale conditions was made in order to
prevent the large buyer from "cor-
nering the supply"
In addition to distributing the blan-
kets between sixteen designated sales
centers, they will be made available
to other committees through bulk sales
to municipalities. Prices run from Sc
for new all-wool blankets to $1.25
for reclaimed cotton blankets.

OFFERED -FOUR
CENTS AN HOUR RAISE
President Wilson Says Any Greater
Increase Would Boost the Cost
of Living.

Washington, August 25.-President
Wilson today submitted to representa-
tives of the six railroad shops crafts
a proposal to pay shopmen about four
ten hours pay for eight hours work,
retroactive to May /.
The president told the committee
of 100 representing the shopcrafts
that any greater increase now would
greatly increase the cost of living and
therefore was inadvisable.
Certain classes Of shopmen, car in
spectors, repairmen, who have been
receiving 60 cents and SO cents re-
spectively, would be paid 81 cents an
hour under the proposed scale.
The shipments representatives told
the president they would submit the
proposition to their members, whose
original demands were for an advance
of 25 per cent. The president request
ed that the men not act on the orig
inal proposition of having a congress
slonal commission pass on the wage
demands. A vote of the shopmen on
this proposition is now being tabulat-
ed.
The increase represents a concession
amounting to approximately one
fourth of the demand made by the
shopmen.

Macaroni wheats stood up best I'M
der the dry conditions, the experiment
station records show, and corn yielded
the, best feed.
Climate does not change materially
in amy country, and Dean Linffeld
said a study of climatic conditions of
various sections and countries showed
and he believes that the combination
of dry conditions which were respon-
sible for the present shortage may
never be expected to recur in this
state. He pointed out as contributary
causes the extreme high water of the
late summer of 191S-1919 and the
present season. which has produced
less rainfall than any of the past 40
years between January l and July 81.

RETURN OF FLU EPIDEMIC
THIS FALL is UNLIKELY

Cincinnati, Ohio, August 26.-Re-
currence of influenza in epidemic form
this fall is unlikely, said Health Off
Ger William H. Peters of Cincinnati,
yesterday, taking issue with DR.. Roy
al S. Copeland, New York health COM
missioner. The state and nation has
been "pretty we'll immunized by the
disease last fall and winter" said DR..
Peters. Epidemics of such caracter
as a rule do not strike twice in the
same place, he said.
"Of course, there will be instances
of influenza, the same as we have had
every year," he continued, "but l do
not anticipate a recurrence of the dis
ase in epidemic FORM"

NEW TRIAL DENIED TO
"LONG GEORGE FRANCIS

"Long George" Francis must serve
his sentence of from six to twelve
years in the p%enitentiary unless the
supreme court ers the judgment
of the Havre county court. Judge
w. B. Rhoades of Havre has denied
the application of Francis for a new
trial. A writ of probable cause also
was denied, but Francis attorneys
were given 20 days in which to COM
plete their appeal to the supreme
court.
Odell Mcconnell of Helena and j.
P. Donnelly of Havre appeared for
Francis at the hearing on the motion
for a new trial, and A. A. Grorud, as
sistant attorney general, and c. R.
%Stranahan, appeared for the state.
Francis is now at liberty on $12,-
500 bail supplied by 10 Havre resi-
dents.
Because of "Long Georges" spec
tacular escape after conviction on a
charge of stealing a colt and his
equally sensational temperance in
court after an absence of 10 months,
his case has attracted statewide at
%tention. He is known in many parts
of the west as a daring and expert
horseman and has won prizes in wild
west" stunts in half a dozen different
states. He took part successfully in
the recent roundup" at Bozeman dur
ing the state Elks' convention.
Francis was convicted in February,
1918. He obtained a few moments
liberty from officers ostensibly for
the purpose of obtaining new bonds
men, and kept going. Efforts of state
officials and stock associations of the
west failed to find trace of him until
he voluntarily surrendered himself,
riding into Havre in an automobile.
He obtained is liberty on SIP, 500
bail while a motion for a new trial
was pending. Many affidavits in his
behalf were submitted in support of
his plea for a new trial. One juror

Lille, according to dispatches from
that city to La Liberte. The men are
being incarcerated in the citadel, where
they will be held until tried.
Among those who have arrived are

ling and robbery in connection with
the requisitioning of supplies, and
Lieutenant Schmitz, accused of steal
ing silver plate. Two others have

nONTANA'S FUTURE
REMAINS VERY BRIGHT
Expert From State Agricultural Col
Iege Says Drouth Is Only Exper-
iment Proving Montana.

Great Falls, August 26.-Absolute
faith in the future of agricultural
Montana is the deduction reached by
state agriculturists as the result OF
the most. momentous experiment SO
far conducted in the west, according
to Dean F. B. Linfield of the school
of agriculture of the state college
and director of the United States ex-
pertinent station at Bozeman.
I'VE have met the supreme test and
every theory we have preached has
been justified" the visiting dean de-
clared in discussing the situation.
Weather conditions beyond the expec-
tation of any student of weather re-
ports covering the past 40 years in
this state have fallen upon Montana
and yet the sub-stations of the exper-
iment station have been able to pro-
duee crops ranging from eight to ~
bushels of wheat to the acre on dry
land.
On a 4S-acre tract in the Havre dis
trict in the center Of the driest sec
ton of Montana for the past three
years a yield of II bushels of wheat
to the acre has been harvested. At
the Huntley station and the Judith
basin station the yield will be from
eight to Is bushels to the acre.
Crop rotation, advocated by the ex-
pertinent station for years, proved its
utility wherever used and despite the
unprecedented drouth, lieded a fair
crop, declared Professor Linfield. This
rotation includes an initial crop of
corn or some cultivated crop followed
by winter or spring wheat and then
summer fallow with early blowing and
regular elimination of weeds. On the
ground small grains should be plant
ed.
In a bulletin nov being prepared by
the experiment station a review Of the
weather conditions which have pre-
vailed in this state for the past 40
years will be printed. This bulletin
will be ready for distribution in about
a month and will show that there has
never been three successive dry years
in Montana since the first records
were kept 40 years ago. And, accord
ing to Dean Linfield, there is very
little possibility that it will occur
again. In this state farmers can X
pect a dry year in from five to eve
seasons and two successive dry years
in from Is to 20 summers. But such
conditions need not be feared by the
farmer who will follow the methods
advocated by the agriculturists.
There has never been a year in the
past 40 years so dry as the present
year and nothing has approached the
drouth experienced by ythe sub-sta-
ton neal Havre on the A%ssiniboine
reservation for the past three years,
yet under proper methods on a 49,
acre tract the college authorities grew
wheat which has been harvested and
has shown a yield of II bushels to the
acre. GAS an eastern expert express
ed, if this land will do that under such
abnormally poor conditions what will
it do under normal conditions" the
dean pointed out.
