TEN COMMANDMENTS
OF GENERAL Foe

VT uL1N FINAL TOSl1
1t was Moses who wrote the Ten
Commandments, but it remained for
Marshal Foch to write the ten rules
of war by which his men beat back
the Germans. 1t is the little things
that count, and it is the exact nicely
of the righting of the man in the
ranks that wins the war, thought the
great French general. Here are the
ten military commandments of Foch,
quoted from the Trench and Camp
magazine:
l. Keep your eyes and ears ready
and your mouth in the safety notch,
for it is your soldierly duty to see
and hear clearly, but as a rule you
should be heard mainly in the sentry
challenges or the charging cheer.
2. Obey orders first and if you are
still alive, kick afterward if you have
been wronged.
3. Keep your arms and equipment
clean and in good order; treat your
animals fairly and kindly and your
motor or other machine as though it
belonged to you and was the only one
in the world. Do not waste your am
munition, your gas, your food, your
time, nor your opportunity.

GULL OUT POOR LAYERS
SAY ALL POULTRY EXPERTS

Bozeman, July 31.-The average
flock of laying hens can be made more
profitable by culling out 80 per cent
of the poorest layers, it is agreed by
the American Association of 1nvesti-
gators and Instructors in Poultry Hus-
bandry. This is the report brought
back by Prof. W. F. Schoppe Of the
Montana state college who has just
returned from the annual meeting Of
the organization which took place at
the Ontario agricultural college at
Guelph, Ont, early this month. This
was borne out by the reports brought
in by exports from all parts of the
country. From Pennsylvania, for in
stance, reports on a variety of breeds
from farms scattered all owe the
state, showed that by careful culling
the income per hen had been %increas-
ed by from S IL to S .68 per month
each, and in no EAST had resulted in
a loss.
In selection the hens are judged by
shape, conformation about the pubic
bones and the coloring or pigmenta-
ton Of the skin about the legs, eyes
and vent. Prof. Schoppe will devote
much of his efforts during the re-
mainder of the summer to encourag-
ing intelligent culling of their flocks
by Montana poultry r~aisers.

4. Never try to fire an empty gun
nor at an empty trench, but when
you shoot, shoot to kill and forget
not that at close quarters a bayonet
beats a bullet.
s. Tell the truth squarely, face the
music and take your punishment like
a man; for a good soldier won't lie,
he doesn't sulk and is no squealer.
6. Be merciful to the women of your
foe and shame them not, for you are
a man; pity and shield the children
in your captured territory, for you
were once a helpless child.
7. Bear in mind that the enemy is
your enemy and the enemy of human
kind until he is killed or captured;
then he is your dear brother or fell
low-soldier beaten or ashamed, whom
YOU should no further humiliate.
8. Do your best to keep your head
clear and cool, your body clean and
comfortable and your feet in good con-
dition, for you think with your head,
fight with your body and march with
your feet.
8. Be of good cheer and high cour-
age; shirk neither work nor danger;
suffer in silence and cheer the COM
rades at your side with a smile.
10. Dread defeat, but not wounds;
fear dishonor, but not death, and die
game, and whatever the task, remem-

Be Done"

came known today when General
Pershing arrived here on his final
tour of the battlefields. Antwerp will
be the base port for the American ON

indefinitely.
General Pershing said he intended
to sail from Brest about September

composite regiment Of picked men that
marched in the Paris and London pa
rades will sail with the American
chief.
General Pershing arrived here yes
terday and spent the afternoon with
Major General T. Allen. They dis
cussed the personnel of the permanent
garrison that is to remain here after
the departure of the third division
next week and first division the mid
die of August. General Pershing
said the area to be occupied by the
American forces on the Rhine has not
been determined by the inter-allied
council but that a decision is expect
ed soon.

SHIPPING TO FEED
OUTSIDE THE STATE
by G. N. Rrnett, Profit. Animal Hus-
bandry, Montana EXp, Station.)

by G. N. Rrnett, Proff. Animal Hus-
bandry, Montana Exp. Station.)
Considerable publicity has been Civ
en- opportunities to ship Montana stock
outside the state for late summer and
fall grazing with the idea of return
ing in the spring. Several millions
of acres of land have been offered for
grazing purposes for summer and fall,
ranging in price from nothing to three
dollars per head per month. Some of
this land is good, some fair and much
absolutely worthless in it's present con-
dition. The conditions and value of
this grazing varies so greatly that it
is not only unwise but decidedly I'M
safe to advise anyone to ship their
stock without first going over the
land personally and seeing the exact
conditions.
When planning to ship to these out
side points it is not enough to arrange
for late summer and fall grazing but
the winter feed should be provided at
the same time. Most sections where
these grazing opportunities are locat-
ed have early and heavy snowfall
which means from five to seven
months hay feeding. Some grazing
land, however, has been located in sec
tlons where the grasses are similar
to the Montana grasses and cattle
would have considerable grazing dur
ing the winter. Such locations would
be most desirable.
Each owner must decide for himself
whether it is practical or not to ship
to outside points for fall and winter
feeding. If, on careful investigation,
it is found that the loss, (Which is
necessarily heavy every time stock is
shipped) freight, grazing, winter feed
and labor in handling the stock is
considerably less than it will cost
to winter at home, then ship. 1t is
far better business to ship direct to
market than to ship to feeding grounds
that have not been carefully exam
ined and all arrangements made for
winter feed before moving stock from
home.
Practically all Montana stock men
breed for early calves and lambs.
Neither cattle nor sheep can be ship
ped for some time before or after
calving or Landing without consider
able loss. Therefore, anyone ship
ping out for winter feeding must re-
turn before grass starts in the spring
or wait until late summer or fall to
get back to the home feeding grounds.
Every possible effort should be made
to winter at home even though the
feed bill is somewhat higher than the
apparent cost of shipping and winter
ing outside the state with the expec-
tation of returning in the spring.
The one and one-third rate which
was granted by the railroad admins
tration on this class of shipment was
not to encourage shipping to feeding
grounds outside the state, but to as
sist and encourage anyone that did
ship out to return to the state in the
spring and thus help them stay in the
stock business.

SENATOR MAKES STATEMENT
ON SOLDIER HOMESTEADS

reply to numerous inquiries regard
ing soldier homestead rights, under
the present law, Senator John B. Ken
drick of Wyoming has given out the
following statement:
"Full credit for military and naval
service up to a maximum of two years
is allowed, under the act of July %,
1917, to all settlers, homesteaders and
entrymen who took up their land or
made application for it prior to en-
tering the service.
"Under the act of February 25,
1919, extending the provisions of the
old law to veterans of the present
war, all honorably discharged soldiers
and sailors the right to apply the per-
iod of their service upon their home
stead entries made at any time after
leaving the service.
every law granting residence cred
it provides, however, that no patent
may be issued except after one years
residence upon the land. This means
that the maximum credit allowed for
military or naval service is two years.
There are however two important 9TH
err qualifications. In the first place, a
soldier has six months after discharge
in which to establish residence. He
also has the right of taking advan-
tage of the regular five months leave
of absence in every year. The result
is, that, after his discharge, a soldier
may serve notice upon the register
and receiver of the local office that
it is his intention to take advantage
Of the five months period Of leave.
At the expiration of the five months
he then will have an additional six
months within which to establish res
idence, so that the h%onorably discharg-
ed soldier or sailor has a maximum
period Of eleven months after dis
charge in which to take up residence
upon his homestead and begin the re-
quired period Of one years actual
residence.
"Whenever a soldier has been dis
charged because of disability incurred
in line of duty, credit is given to him
for the entire period of his enlist
ment regardless of the actual period
Of service. That means, for example,
that a soldier discharged after six
months on account Of wounds, may
receive credit, up to the maximum of
two years for the period of emergency.
Members Of the national guard who
served on the border are entitled to
credit for that service.
Gin order to secure the advantage
Of these provisions of law, the SOL
der must file with the register and
receiver of the land district in which
he has taken up or intends to take up
land, a certified copy of his certif-
icate of discharge, showing he enlist
ed, when he was discharged, and the
organization in which he served, or
the affidavit of two disinterested wit
nesses, corroborative of the allega-
tons contained in his affidavit on
these points or if neither can be pro-
cured, his own affidavit to that af-
feet.
"It is necessary to keep the regis
ter and receiver fully informed of any
intention to take advantage of leaves
of absence.

activities that count most in prevent
ing unnecessary loss of infant and
maternal life. First-a safe milk sup
ply. This means clean milk, graded,
labeled and pasteurized. Second-ex-
pert medical and nursing services for
expectant mothers. If every commun-
ity would provide milk stations for
it's babies and prenatal care for it's
mothers we would save in the United
States the lives of 10000 mothers and
$4,000 babies annually.
"There is no limit to what can be
done and this is the time to do it.
With our figures revealing a loss of
more than 500 900 in Americas natur-
al population, to say nothing of that
sustained through the surcease of i'm
migration, the need is more imperative
than ever before that the babe be
given what he is justly entitled to-
the chances to make a winning fight
from the start"
The infant mortality rate for 70 cit
les with populations under $4,000 is
97.2.
The rate for 80 cities between 5O,-
900 and 100, 900 population is 1888 and
that for 45 cities over 100000 is 1925.
Thus the smallest cities show the
lowest rate of the three groups, but
the largest cities have a lower rate
than the $4,000 to 100, 900 population
cities. This probably is due to the
fact that the larger cities are better
governed as regards public health mat
tiers. Also that people in the second
classification live under more inten-
sive industrial conditions than either
of the other groups.
The honor infant death rate among
cities of 100, 1000 or more was attained
this year by San Francisco, which,
with a population above half a million,
lowered it's baby deaths from 1876 per
1000 in 1917 to 57.2. Seattle, WASH,
was not far behind, with 63.4, al
though this is an increase for this
$4,000 town of four points. Of all
the cities reporting, Reading, Pa, with
a population of 100000, presented a
figure of 1929.
The infant mortality rate is the
number of deaths under one year of
age per 1000 living births reported
during the calendar year. The popu-
lation is based on the 1910 census.

COMING TOMORROW
Much Interest Here in the
Accident Prevention
Drive.

In connection with the National
Railroad Accident Prevention drive, a
party of Baltimore and Ohio railroad
officials headed by G. w. Galloway,
Baltimore, federal manager, is in
Wheeling today and is headed for
Fairmont. The indications are that
they will arrive here on Thursday.
Among the other officials Of note In
theparty are S. Ennes, Baltimore, gen.
eraI manager of the eastern lines Of
the B. G. o. railroad. The campaign
will open on Saturday morning at
1901 o'clock and will continue four
teen days. Today William F. Braden,
Baltimore, welfare agent of the safe
ty and welfare department Of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad, was in Fair
mont, in connection with the cam
paign and late today he left for Graf
ton after which he will leave for Bal
timore. That the Mcnongah division
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad is
earnest can best be CLEANED by the
fact that c. W. Van Horn, Grafton, to-
day started up the Grafton and Beling-
ton spur with his special train i. At
various terminals and yards the en-
ployes are addresses and even time
will be taken to talk to the men along
the line.
In the office of c. W. Van Horn, su-
perintendent- of the Monongah diVi-
sion, at Graitsn, the pennant won by
the division in the no-accident cam
paign is displayed and railroaders who
have seen it say it is a beauty.
Indications are that the new fall
schedule of the B. & o. railroad will
be effective in the middle of NoEem-
Der.
