FLYERS TO HUNT OUTLAWS
Cotton Plantations Planted in Defiance
of Authority Seen Easily
From the Air.

The department of agriculture has
adapted the airplane to Its needs, and
plans to have a large fleet of ma
chimes to serve the farmer, lumberman
and orchardist during the next six
months, according to an announcement
from Washington recently, says the
San Francisco Chronicle. The ma
chimes will be used to find forest fires.
map out forest and other surveys and
to act as detectives to find outlaw
cotton planters in Texas, Arizona and
southern California.
Lieutenant Compere at Ellington a
year ago investigated the cotton situ-
alton. Owing to danger of an inva-
sion of pink bollworm from Mexico 1t
was necessary to create restricted
safety zones where no cotton could be
grown. Certain outlaw planters in
land surrounded by heavy forests have
defed the government and planted In
these districts, which are difficult to
find. The young Californian took a
camera with him, cruised over the for
ests at a 7,000-foot altitude, and
snapped seven outlaw fields. The
fields were destroyed. Compere has
been released from service and will
soon return to California to organize
the agricultural aviation scout work on
this coast.

In speaking, too, of the work in the
committees, Representative Hoch
said:
"The interstate and foreign COM
merce committee has been holding
session on the railroad problem. Per-
haps no more difficult task in con-
structive work was ever undertaken
by Congress. The whole railroad
system must be overhauled so that
private ownership and operation may
be restored with protection against
the abuses of the old system, and
under terms that will make possible
efficiency in operation while doing
justice to employees, owners and the
public generally. The questions in
volved are so complex and the inter-
ests affected so vast that it would
have been utter folly to attempt to
frame legislation without the most
thorough Investigation. The hearings
are now completed, the bill is being
drafted and will be reported to the
House for consideration in the near
future. -
Other committees are at work on
a great merchant marine policy, on
soldiers bills and other important
matters"

Ernest Hutcheson, the noted pianist,
tells a story related to him by the
head of a European conservatory
which will entertain many teachers. A
new pupil arrived at the conservatory
for examination. The teacher struck
a note on the piano and asked:
"What note Is that?"

"What note Is that?" asked the
teacher, striking another.

"What note is this?" then asked the
amazed teacher.

Butte, February 24.-The state wal
savings headquarters report that the
new war savings society campaign
in Montana is taking with wildfire
rapidity. From all parts of the state
come reports of the enthusiastic ac-
tivity.
"The idea on which the campaign
is founded is very simple" explained
Vice State Director j. R. Spencer. "a
wal savings society is a group OF
five or more people who are willing
to save and lend their savings to the
government by purchase of war av-
ings stamps. The secretary and pres
ident of each society are the ones
on whose shoulders fall the task of
keeping the other members as well as
themselves, buying stamps. If a
member says he or she will buy $1.0O
worth of thrift stamps a week, the
secretary sees that they have the OPP
%portunity to do so. However, there
is no penalty of any kind for an hon
est failure and no one will be called
a Stacker or anything like it if they
honestly fail. While on the other
hand, if a member of a war savings
society is out of employment or 9th
erwise in distress, it will be perfectly
patriotic for him to cash in his
stamps at the postoffice. We should
always bear in mind, however, that
stamps should not be cashed unless
necessary and if a small amount is
wanted, say the value of two or three
wal savings stamps and the person
has a full certificate, the right thing
to do is to cash the certificate, keep
the amount of money needed and be-
fore he leaves the postoffice, put the
remainder Of his money in war saw
ings stamps of the 1919 issue.

in the organization of the state is en-
tirely due to the efficiency of the coun-
ty directors" said Mr.. Spencer. 81
believe the present county directors
are the most up to date and live wire
bunch any campaign has ever brought
together. If they don't make the state
a shining mark in the thrift stamp
movement, I will say that the failure
was something that the personnel Of
the county director was not respon-
sible for. Everyone is a master Of
organization and a leader in their
county. They are engaged in a great

ever. In the early stages it yields
readily to proper treatment, and
heavy losses can be avoided only if
the disease is taken in hand early.
Dipping Method Recommended.
While cattle scab can be cured by
spraying, if the work is done proper
ly, this method is recommended only
when the number of cattle to be treat
ed is not large enough to justify the
owner in providing a dipping vat.
Dipping, however, which consists of
immersing animals in a medicated Ii
quid that will kill the parasites, is
the only method recognized by the
bureau Of animal industry in the Of
ficial treatment of scabby cattle. All
animals in the herd should be treated
regardless of the number showing les
ions of scab.
One dipping generally is sufficient
for cattle which have been exposed
to infection, but upon which the dis
ease has not yet become apparent
Infected cattle require two or more
clippings, according to the variety of
the disease present. Complete direc.
tions for preparing dips and construc-
ting dipping watts are given in the
bulletin.

DIPPING TREATMENT IS
BEST FOR CATTLE SCAB
Serious Losses in Weight and Vital
ity Charged to Minute Parasites -
Spraying Also Helps.

Small insect-like parasites, common
ly known as mites, are responsible for
scab, a contagious skin disease
affecting cattle of all ages and con-
ditions. There are several forms of
the disease, known by such names
scab, mango and itch. Though the
disease itself may not cause death
directly, it is responsible for serious
losses by causing a shrinkage in the
weight of animals, failure Of young
stock to thrive and gain weight nor
mally, and by increasing the death
rate of poorly-nourished animals of
poor vitality, especially range cattle
exposed to inclement weather.
Cattle scab can be eradicated by
dipping OF spraying, dipping being
the most reliable method, and lime

cum dips a all be used with success.
Methods of control and eradication of
cattle scab, together with descriptions
o fthe various forms of the disease,

States department of agriculture.
Disease Under Control.
In the western part of the United
States, especially where cattle Craze
on the open range, the losses caused
by common scab have been a serious
drawback to the livestock industry,
but through the cooperative work of
the bureau Of animal industry of the
United States department of Agricul-
ture and the officials Of the states
concerned the disease has been great
ly reduced and brought under control.
1t has not, however, been entirely
eradicated from the herds of the west
ern states, and it is important that
control measures be practiced contin-
ually to completely eradicate the dis
ease and prevent it from again becom-
ing prevalent.
The mite which causes common cat
tie scab may attack any part of the
body covered thickly with hair, but
the first LESSONS usually occur on the
withers, on top of the neck just in
front of the withers, or around the
root of the tail. From these points
it spreads over the back and sides
and unless checked it may involve
practically the entire body. The mites
attack the skin to obtain food, anc
in so doing probably introduce a pois|
onous secretion, says the bulletin. A
slight inflammation is caused, follow
ed by intense itching. In the advanced
stages of the disease large scabs arr
formed which frequently are stained
with blood. The disease should neve,
be allowed to reach this stage, how

total investment of $3,O94.56, or an
average of $1.91 per pupil. The per-

schools was 53.7 while the high schools
showed 80 per cent of it's students

j. Scott Harrison has been appoint
ed director of war savings for Lew
is & Clark county. Mr.. Harrison has
a very optimistic opinion of this field
for war savings work in 1919. The
schools of the city and county have
kept up their thrift work and a large
number of war savings societies or
gained by the late F. D. Miracle are
regularly purchasing stamps.

them mark an epoch in u history.
They know its power for good and

John Collins will be in charge of
the work of the war savings campaign
in Beaverhead county for 1919. Coun-
ty Directors Collins explained that
this years campaign is the formation
of war savings sicieties and the teach
ing of thrift and Americanism through
these societies.
Havre is seeing a revival of the
war savings campaign with renewed
vigor. County Director A. L. RIFT
is starting a movement, the object of
which is to form hundreds of val
savings societies all over Hill coun-
ty. Every business house, railroad
office, school room, lodge and church
will be organized into a wal savings
society. After the societies are form
ed, the energies of each organization
will be directed to a systematic cam
paign of thrift for the entire year.
every citizen of Hill county should
belong to n Of these societies. said
County Director Ritz. "There should
be no delay. Everyone should join
or form a society. Your government
is calling you, will you answer?"

Misunderstanding Of the war saw

Wheatland county. Director Harriet
w. Tooley is announcing her campaign
by organizing a war savings society
in each school, and later will form
commercial and community societies in
all parts of the county. "This is the

%icanization work and to sell govern
ment securities.
"You can readily infer from this
that the purpose of the campaign is
to be largely educational, but that
the test of it's success must be meas
ured by the sale of stamps. No quota
has been given the county and no
pledges need be signed, although in
some cases if a certain sum is decid-
ed upon by any Individual, or by any
school, it might be an incentive to
save.
"You have received an envelope con
tanning all of the material necessary
for the organization of a war savings
society in your school. l am sure
that YOU and the children of your
school will wish to be among the first
to organize. When you have organ
lied, please fill out and mail the card
and write me reporting the organiza-
ton. Will you not do this as soon as
possible as Mr.. Veblen, u county
director, desires a report of the num-
Der of societies organized in the coun-
ty next week."

tendent of public instruction, has sent
the following letter to all city n

instructing them to aid in he 1919
war savings campaign: "You r be-
ing asked to lend assistance to the
organization of government war saw
ings societies. l am sure, even
though the war is ended, you will de-
sire to continue the war savings work
in your schools. No person in school
work should need to be told the val
Nc of having such children's organiza-
tions.
"We have already made a splendid
start in the promotion of thrift among
our boys and girls. The ending of the
war should in no manner lessen the
Importance of continuing the habit.
At the same time that we encourage
thrift, we are also teaching good cit
izenship and Americanism, something
which the war has shown US we have
neglected as a nation, all too long.
Constructions for the organization
Of school government war savings
societies have been sent you. Your
cooperation with the county director
is urged to the end that every school
in Montana may have an active organ
ization doing what it can to help sell
war securities and at the same time to
educate our young people in habits OF
thrift and economy and to develop a
high type of American citizen"

BURTIS DECLARED
SAFE AS TEST IS
MADE WITH SAND

Three hundred sacks Of sand,
sitting closer than the theatrical
critics of the upper gallery ever
sat at the Burtis opera house, have
been giving that upper gallery a
strength test during the last cou-
pie of days, such as it could never
have in actual use. Mayor Little
ton Of Davenport and the aldermen,
building commissioner, fire chief,
and other city officials, including
the new comm ssioner of public
works, Harry W. Phillips, himself
a contracting builder, went over to
the opera house and saw the group
Of dummies.
There were 10000 pounds of
them, piled onto a few yards of the
gallery, and it gave no sign that it
was bearing an unusual load. The
general verdict was that if the
house would stand the test, It was
all right.
There are in the opera house
certain evidences Of repair which
every few years result in rumors
that it is showing signs Of strain.
Don't let them worry you, says
Manager Charles T, Kindt. And
he tells why. They've been there
since 1876.
