STRICKEN SECTION
NO RAIN In PORTIONS OF MON
TANA SINCE JUNE 5.

Sioux Falls, July 17.-Friends and
relatives in Sioux Falls of former res
idents OF this city, who are holding
down claims or living on ranches in
eastern Montana, WIZ regret learn
ing of the misfortune which has be-
fallen practically all of southeastern
Montana. A letter received here
from one former resident of Sioux
Falls who now lives near Baker, con
tains the following:
When / wrote you last l did not
tell you the true conditions here, as
We were hopeful for things turning
for the better. On June S we got a
fine rain which gave us hopes that
more would follow. However, there
has not been a drop of moisture since
that date and not only grain, but
grass, in this section is all gone. We
did not get even a leaf of lettuce
from our garden, and We had a fine
one to start with. / don't know what
the people out here are going to do
with their cattle. So far as we are
concerned, ii looks as If we will have
to sell them. They are not in shape
to ship TO the market, but l can'k see
anything else to do. We have about
SO head OF, cattle and hate to part
with them, but cannot see any other
way out 1t is certainly discourag-
ing after getting such a fine start as
we had, to get such a setback. III
you could see the prairie here you
would wonder what cattle are living
on. 1t was dry here last year, but
nothing like this year.
Lots of people want to sell out
and lots have left, and a good many
more will leave. But we are going
TO stick. 1t is a pretty hard blow
but we believe there must be a turn
for the better and we will not give
up the ship. l think we win win In
the end"

DAKOTA BANK BILL
REPEALS ALL ACTS
NOW I'm CONFLICT
Tax Commissioner Packard
Shows How Statues Guarding
Funds Are Set Aside

1T is contended by the supporters
Of the bank bill that funds can not be
transferred as provided by Sec. Is"
said Tax Commissioner Packard TO-
day. "They contend that school funds
can not be transferred because. pre-
vious laws provide that they shall be
invested by the board of university
and school lands. This is quite true,
but any statutory enactment contrary
to the terms of the bank bill are spe-
officially repealed by it. Section rs Of
the bank act provides: All acts and
parts Of acts inconsistent with this
act are hereby repealed.
"The supporters of this measure
admit that the bank law itself pro-
vides for transferring Of funds from
the school funds to the various indus
tries in which the state is engaged.
They declare that this, provision is
made null and void by former acts.
It is too simple for discussion that
former acts are repealed by the pro-
vision of the bank act above quoted.
"Not only does it repeal the method
of transferring funds to the bank, but
it repeals every safeguard of the pub
lie funds at the present time, making
the law vicious and endangering all
the public funds" 17 r-1'''0'

GOVERNMENT TO FIGHT WHITE PLAGUE
FOR 100000 VICTIMS OF DISEASE
N. e. A. speciaI to The Tribune.

N. e. A. Special to The Tribune.
New York, June 17-Alarmed by
the loss of man power caused by
tuberculosis during the war, Uncle
Sam is polishing up the NJ. D., which
is among the many letters that follow
his name, and preparing to take 4
leading part in the national program
for the prevention of the disease. +.
Final tabulation of the draft rejec.
slips, just completed, reveals: 62,000
men were rejected when called for
service in the national army because
medical examination showed they had
tuberculosis. r'+S'" "'''''
Another 10000 men were dis.
charged at army camps for the same
reason. "
Six thousand, still in SERVICE, arc,
now being cared for in the army's
special tuberculosis hospitals.
AS these figures show, the govern
ment, at time of great national
emergency, was robbed of the services
of approximately enough men for five
army divisions by the ravages Of this
one disease. But this is not all, for,
although progress has been made In
the control of the disease during the
past ten years, it still is the cause
of 100000 deaths annually in this
country, and as scientific investiga'
tion has shown, for every death from
the disease there are eight active
cases. .-
This indicates that at the present
time there are in the United States
at least 1,200, 900 active cases Of the
white plague.
At the annual meeting of the Ma.
tional tuberculosis Association in
Atlantic City, June IA to II, federal,
state and local public health authori-
ties will outline a coordinate national
plan of battle against the disease.
One result Of this. it is expected, will
be the creation Of a division Of tu.
berculosis in the U. S. public health
service, a bill for which will soon be
introduced.
Already, as the governments first
step in protecting the nations health
during the reconstruction era, the U.
S. public health service has been auth.
orized to provide free hospital care
for soldiers and sailors suffering from
tuberculosis, honorably discharged on
or after Oct. 6, 1917 These patients
will be treated in government sana-
toria.
The even graver problem of caring
for the $4,000 sufferers who were turn.
back into civil life by the draft boards
has been assumed by the National
tuberculosis association in cooperation
with the surgeon generals office,
throgh 1900 state and local societies
which are affiliated with the national
association, and some 600 sanatoriums
and 500 dispensaries are already avail
able for the work. 5agts
The situation is so serious how
ever, that the national program calls
for hospitals and sanatorium provision
in every state in the union that will
provide, as a minimum at least two
beds for every annual death, as we'll
as dispensary and clinic. care so that
every man, woman and child In che
state, who has tuberculosis, or thinks
he has it, or who may have been ex.
posed to it in any way, can secure
free advice and treatment or treat
ment at moderate expense.

FARMER OBJECTS
TO KOSITZKY AS
FARMER OFFICER
Objection Raised at Kuhn Re.
calls. go Home and Slop
Your Hogs" Incident

Kuhn, June 16.-The political meet
ing held here last Friday evening was
decidedly In the nature Of a free for
ALL" The hall was packed to capa.
city, everybody seemed to be expect
ing something unusual and to date
we have not heard of anyone being
disappointed.
Kositzky had spoken for about five
minutes, had Informed the audience
that Townley and his henchmen had
accused him of being a traitor, cow
ard, etc. and said that E. A. Bowman
had written an article for the North
Dakota Leader in which it was alleged
that Mr. Kositzky had made profit
through a grain firm of $500,000.OO,
when the row started. Bowman de-
MED the statement, claiming that he
had not written such an article, etc.
From then on things were decidedly
warm and at times 1t was hard to de-
eide just who had the floor, Several
times during the evening Mr.. Joseph
Hollan informed the audience as to
his opinion of Mr.. Kositzky, and upon
one occasion he said that he was very
grateful to the state auditor for his
assistance in the harvest field last
summer, and that Carl was all o. k.
in headerbox with pitchfork, that
that was where he belonged and not
in state office. To many it acted
as reminder of the time that the
farmers were told to "go home and
slop their hogs One disciple of
Townley's we don't know the mani,
sought to convince the audience that
Kositzky was handling the truth
carelessly by yelling so that everyone
might hear, "Townley's heart Is Of
pure gold" It Of course brought forth
unrestrained laughter from those who
had not by that time lost their sense
Of humor.
But getting down to brass tacks,
Kositzky maintains that the four laws
which he opposes were not part OF
the league program and for that rea-
son he is under no obligation to sup
port them In reply Mr.. Bowman ad-
mitted that they were not in the pro-
gram advertised before the election
and said that there were dozens o.
other laws passed that likewise were
not in the program.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
WELL BEFORE TAKING

o. E. Lofthus of Kloten, the new
state examiner, admits that he's an
Irish Scandinavian. The ancient
Lofthuses were Norsemen. In their
rambling about the North sea the
parent stock of the present Lofthus
family viked into the Emerald Isle,
and there they settled down, sub
scribed for the local newspaper and
became permanent citizens, kicking
about special improvement taxes, hav-
ing neighbors' babies named after
them and all of that. That was many
centuries ago. but the Scandinavian
strain still predominates, even tho the
present Lofthus does speak with a bit
