9th Division Put On
Big Parade In New York

to many here because there wer
: many Montana boys in the 27t
division, and at least one Circl
boy in the Parade that we know
'of-Harry Olson.
/ New York.-Victorious veterans
10000 men of the Twenty-seventl
division came back to Fifth ave
nue. for the triumphs review. Tt
the thousands who offered thei]
all on Liberty's altar, the million:
who stayed behind poured out the
full measure of their pride.
The frenzied multitude knew
that grateful people never paid
tribute to Drawer men or to cru
saders more chivalrous than these
citizen soldiers who looked death
in the face and smiled as they
went "over the top" with a song
on their lips to smash the Hinden-
denburg line.
There was no shadow on the
hearts of the stalwart marching
men save the memory of the 1000
comrades they left sleeping where
poppies bloom" While they glo-
rifed in the soul-stirring welcome
they were given, thoughts of all,
their leaders said, turned to the
gallant lads who paid the inevita-
BILE price of victory.
The clank of their hob-nailed
shoes upon the pavement spelled
an epic in American history.
Never before had a full division of
Yankee veterans fresh from Euro
pean service passed in review in
an American city. Every man of
he 10000 was volunteer. Fight
ng Jack" Organ, who led the
inc, was the only major general of |
he national guard who took his |
men to France and brought them
Jack, still their commander. Never
'efore OH this continent, at least,
lad so many thousands cheered a
military spectacle. Even New
,ork, famed for its crowds, never
ad modified so many men, wom-
n and children along 4 single
treet.

100000 persons were packed

the doubters in all the world had been
able to do to discredit it since the time

Investigate Quality Of Seed.

Nearly 1900 samples Of seed were
received for test last year at the seed
testing laboratory of the United States
Department of Agriculture in Wash
ington, and 1870 samples at the
five branch laboratories maintained
in cooperation with State institutions.
All of these samples were examined
to determine the quality of the seed
and the presence of adulterants. The
enforcement of the secd-importation
act has served to prevent many ship
ments of imported seed, unfit for
seeding purposes. from being distlib-
uted in their original condition.
Among these shipments over 675,OOO
pounds of red clover seed were pro-
hibited entry on account OF the pres
ence of weed seeds and dead seed.
Approximately one half of this was
recleaned in bond-the weed seeds
and other refuse removed being de-.
stroyed, while the seed of good quail
ity was allowed to go into the seed
trade. The other half of the prohib-
tied red clover shipments was reject
ed because it contained SO much dead
seed as to be of practically no value
for seeding purposes. Three ship
ments, aggregating enough seed to
SOW 16, 600 acres at normal rate OF
seeding, contained no seed which
could be expected to grow in the field.
Because of the difficulties of trans
Atlantic shipment, imports of almost
all kinds of seed have fallen off, Cam
ada bluegrass from Canada and win
ter rape from Japan being the only
two items of imports which have ex-
ceedcd those of the previous year.

Big Fire At Myersvil|e.
Fl. & F. Railway. Bank Aud
Farmers Exchange Suffer
Heavy Losses.

Friday afternoon of last week fire
broke out at Myersville, this county.
and for time threatened to destroy the
entire village.
1t is stated that the fire originated in
the car barn of the H. & F. Railway.
Several times during the day the atten-
ton of Alvey HORNE, the station agent,
was attracted by explosions, emnating
from high tension wire running through
the building. Following one of these ex-
plosions, about l. 80 Mr.. HORNE noticed
blaze in the roof near the wire. In an
instant the fire spread and few minutes
later the building was mass of flames.
The building owned by c. F. Flock and
occupied by the Farmers Exchange,
caught next and was soon in flames.
AS much of the stock as possible was re-
moved As the town has no water sys-
TEN or fire department the inhabitants
were powerless to effectively fight the
flames and could do nothing more than
watch the fire wipe out one building after
the other. A number of persons be-
came panic stricken. fearing that the
entire town would be destroyed. When
the fire was at its height the house of
Bttle Potfenberger, across the street
became endangered. At that time a
stiff breeze carried the fam es in he di-
rection of the house and for a short time
it appeared that buildings on that side of
the street would also ignite. A bucket
brigade soaked the woodwork with water
while crew of men kept the roof free
of sparks. Many panes of glass in the
front VIII dows were broken by the heat.
The wind, however, suddenly shifted,
sending the flames in an opposite direc-
ton.
The car barn, waiting room and sub
station of the H. & F. are all connected
After the blaze once started it soongain-
ed Roadway, and short time afterwards
had spread to the Farmers Exchange
property of which Cyrus F. Flock is the
head. The Myersville branch of the
Central Trust Company is located irst
beyond the Farmers Exchange and the
bank caught fire and burned
The progress Of the fire checked after
burning the bank. Will myriad. of
sparks and burning embers fell on build
ings all over the town the snow covered
roofs prevented other fires. 1t is thought
the snow really saved the town from
burning. The entire population assembled
in the neighborhood of the fire, but with
the exception of those who carriedwa
in buckets others could perform no SER
vice in the way Of eXtirgLishing the
flames.
All of the buildings will be rebuilt.
The money. papers and books Of tho bank
were all safe in the vault.
The old canning factory adjoining the
site Of the elevator will be used as car
barn and trolley station pending the
erection of new car barn on the same
site. Mr.. Flock will erect new CON
crete building and the Mutual Exchange
Company will build a new elevator.
The loss is estimated at $30, 900
