CAMPAIGN TO REDUCE COST
OF LIVING BEARING FRUIT

Washington, August 20.-Attorney
General Palmer said today there was
evidence that the government cam
paign to reduce the cost of living al
ready was bearing fruit.
A prominent vegetable packer of
Maryland wrote Mr.. Palmer that pri-
ces in many lines were beginning to
ease off as it became evident the de-
partment of justice meant business in
announcing that criminal prosecutions
against hoarders and profiteers would
be instituted.
eve want to make clear, however,"
the attorney general said, chat no
thing we can do can change the i'm
mutable economic laws on which prices
depend. If we can increase the sup
ply by greater production and lessen
demand by greater saving on the part
of the people, then the cost of living
should come down. We can help by
forcing hoarders to put IN the market
food held out for an advance in price
and further by holding up to public
scorn or by prosecuting, if congress
gives us the criminal amendment to
the food control law, those who are
guilty of trying to exact a greater
profit than is reasonable and just
We are going to make the market
that is the law of supply and demand
operate normally instead of artifi-
cially."
The attorney general and Judge
Ames, his assistant drew distinctions,
which they said the public should rec
ognize between boarded food and stor-
ed food.

after, are asked to elect delegates to
the caucus from among former men,
bers.
The idea of the organization is to
pefpetuate the ideals and spirit of the
old Second Montana, which later be-
came the 163d. No officers have been
appointed, but a provisional adjutant
has been named to handle the CORE
spondence until the caucus takes place,
when a permanent organization will
be established.
This organization will not conflict
associations, as only former members
with any of the other service mems
of the 163d infantry are eligible for
membership. 1t will cooperate with
the American Legion. Butte, Helena,
Billings, Roundup, Kalispell, Waller,
Choteau, Miles City, Baker and Glas-
gov are among the cities represented.
Men eligible for membership are
those who enlisted in Montana as we'll
as those who were transferred to the
association at Camp Mills, N. Y. The

CASH PRIZES FOR BEST
KEPT FARM ACCOUNTS

Bozeman, Montana.-Three hundred
and twenty-five dollars in cash prizes
are offered to the Montana farmers
who make the best showing in keep
ing farm accounts next year. The ac-
counts must be kept in the account
books being prepared by the depart
ment of farm management at the Mon
tana state college, which are to be dis
tributed this fall through the Mon
tana bankers. This announcement has
just been made by A. ]. Copeland of
the extension department of the col
lege, who is very proud of the list
Of prizes which is to be offered.
The prizes are to be divided into
two groups, the first for those who
show the best and neatest system of
farm accounts, and the second for
those whose account books show the
best organized farm.
A grand sweepstakes prize of 500
is offered by the Montana Bankers
association to the farmer who makes
the best showing in both classes to-
gether.
The first prize in class A, $50, is
offered by the Northwestern Grain
Dealers association; the second prize,
s25, is given by the Royal Milling
company of Great Falls; the third
prize, SIS, is given by the Montana
Farmer; and the fourth prize, $40,
is given by the Bozeman Milling Co.
In class B, the prizes are for the
same amounts. They are given, the
first by the Great Western Sugar
company; the second by the Barke-
meyer Grain and Seed company of
Great Falls; the third by the T. c.
Power company Of Helena; and the
fourth by the Bozeman Canning com-
pany.
In addition to the above, a trophy
shield is given to the farm bureau
in that county in which the largest
number Of farmers send in their ac-
count books to be judged.
Mr.. Copeland stated that poor crops
would not in the least make a poor
account book, and that the drouth
stricken farmers would suffer no ham
dicap in this competition.

WILSON'S CAMOUFLAGE
FLAYED BY RIDDICk

Washington, D. C.-Charging Pres
ident Wilson with a "most reprehen-
sible, partisan campaign attempt to
camouflage neglect Of duty with the
appearance of desire to serve the pub
lic," by calling upon congress for au-
thority which he already has to reduce
the high cost of living, Representa-
tive Carl w. Riddick of Montana has
denounced the extravaganza of the
administration. He says:
"The biggest contribution to high
living costs has been the waste and
extravaganza of the administration,
still continued. Money has been pour
ed out as if the chief object Of the
administration were to spend all the
money of all the people of this u
try over and over again. The u
try is filled with monuments of a
saturnalia of spending, the like of
which never before was dreamed of in
all history of frenzied finance. The
government pay roll has been swollen
to gigantic proportions. Hundreds of
millions of dollars have been wasted
in cost-plus and other similar con-
tracts, which have placed a premium
on waste. War supplies have been
purchased at the sellers prices, and
at the waste, not merely of millions,
but billions.
"Billions of dollars have been loan
ed to foreign nations with all the lib
erality characteristic of the politi-
clan spending other peoples money.
All this has, of course, forced up
prices to dizzy heights by fixing fic-
titious bases Of values.
"Vast stores, not only of food, but
of clothing and other supplies, bought
as if it were expected the war would
last forever, and as if the country
would be called upon to feed and
clothe the whole solar system, have
been withheld from the market. Only
now the war department., at the de-
mand of congress, is reluctantly re-
leasing some of the canned goods that
have been piled mountain high in the
storehouses. Supplies of shoes and
clothing of incomprehensible magni-
tude are still held out of the market,
while prices continue to mount higher
and higher.
"We have been draining the Amer
lean market of staples to feed the
next friends of the administration all
over the globe and overlooking suffer
ing here at home. That process contin-
ues with a constantly mounting vol
m of exports which costs the Amer
lean people two dollars in added prices
for every dollar realized from gu
sales abroad. Meanwhile we are per
hitting our own markets to be invad'
ed by foreign manufactured articles
to an extent which will soon cause 6
slowing down Of American industry.
"The vast sums borrowed from the

to be abandoned until after the peace
treaty has been signed. This factory
was to furnish the cement for rebuild
ing piers and other structures and
building new ones on the west coast.
"The American people ought to
know" he continues, that Mexico was
not neutral during the war, but an
enemy, active to the extent of it's lin
tied capacity. Mexico gave no fewer
than so German officers commissions
in the Mexican army and assigned
them to train troops for service
against the United States.
German uniforms were worn so
commonly in Mexico that even the To-
cal Mexican papers complained about
it. Moreover, by Carranza's direct
orders, Mexican telegraph wires were
thrown open to German code mes
sages l personally carried orders
from Carranza to Governor Gales to
permit the spy Wabriski to send code
messages freely"
Prominent Mexican officials are al
legged by DR.. Altendorf to have been
on the payroll Of the German embassy.
He says:
"Mario Mendez, director of tele-
graphs, received a salary of $500 a
month from o Eckhardt, his broth
err, a senator with influences, received
the same salary. A third brother
who held a position in the postoffice,
also received 5000 a month for open
ing and reading private letters and
passing the information along to the
Germans.
DR.. Altendorf states that he person
ally, late in November, 1917, carried
a request from Governor Gales of So
nora, to Rademacher, the German con.
sui at Guaymas, for %s15O,00O, saw
the money put in a bag and carried
the bag, accompanied by Rademacher
to Gales.

DUCKS MUCH THICKER
THAN EVER this YEAR.
Hunting Season Opens September 16
Motor Boat Shooting Is
Barred.

Helena, Mont, August lit may
be true that a considerable number of
young waterfowl persisted because of
sloughs where they were Matched dried
up this summer, but reports from
sportsmen and deputy game wardens
to Warden DeHart are unanimous in
the statement that not one in years
has there been such good prospects
for duck shooting as is presented this
year.
The duck season opens September
16, n day after the season for shore
birds begins. The federal law says
September 16 and the state law Sep
TENDER Is on waterfowl, but the fed
eral law has the right of way so the
sportsmen must withhold their fire
until the morning of September 16,
says Warden DeHart.
AS was the case last year, no shoot
ing from motor boats will go this
year. The federal authorities have
been instructed to prosecute those who
take a flyer at the game from a mo-
tor boat and the game wardens and
peace officers generally are or the
watch for any infraction of the law
in this respect.
Because some of the sloughs and
ponds have dried up which in ordinary
years have been nesting places for
waterfowl, the lakes and sloughs and
streams still doing business are heav-
lily populated with ducks. Lake Helena
near here has the biggest crop of ducks
seen here in years. The birds have
been flocking in as 500 as they could
fly and similar reports are heard from
other localities where there is a live
lake or slough or stream with a la
COON.
Fishing being about over for the
season, the shot gun devotees are busy
these days getting ready for the fall
shooting.
The prospect for good shooting was
never better it is said and lakes which
are close enough for the sportsmen
of the cities will be fairly alive with
hunters on the morning of September
16.
Shotgun shells are a bit cheaper
than they were a year ago, the way
alibi having run it's course. Guns
too, are billed a trifle under what
they were during the war, but most
of the waterfowl hunters have the
shooting irons purchased several years
ago.
Lake Bowdoin up near Havre, Red
Lake in Beaverhead county and a
string oil lakes neal the Canadian Dor.
der in Sheridan and Valley counties
are favorite resorts Of the sportsmer
who can take a week off and indulge
in great sport. The smaller lakes anc
sloughs like those around Helena anc
Geraldine in Choteau county are soor
cleaned up by the bombardment.
