SEVERE LOSSES OF
CATTLE REPORTED
EXPERTS BELIEVE SCANTY AND
IMPROPER FEEDING ARE
RESPONSIBLE

In one community in the county
one farmer lost 20 head of cattle in
20 days. Another lost 10, and still
another has lost IL or Is during the
past four weeks.
A veterinary was called to inves-
tigate these losses and a careful
study of conditions was made. A re-
port came from the Office of the
State Veterinarian at Helena, and
the State Agricultural College at
Bozeman, that similar losses are
common throughout the state this
year.
After careful study of the losses
in the one community in this county
this year it seems evident that it is
not due to any particular disease
that the cattle might have but it
more likely caused by the long, Sc
we're, cold winter and the lack of
sufficient and proper feed. While
these are causes that cannot usually
be helped, yet it is quite common
practice to reduce the feed at this
time of year and let cattle shift for
themselves on the open range. The
College recommends
that the owners of cattle increase
The feed at this time instead of de-
,reasing it, because more losses al

FINE TIME ENJOYED
AT BROTHERHOOD BALL

The Coliseum was the scene, Mon
day evening, of one of the most en-
joyable affairs ever held there, when
the B. of L. E. and F. gave their Sec
ond annual ball. The ballroom was
beautifully decorated with festoons
of greens in canopy effect, and the
colors of the various railway orders.
Special credit for the decorations
should be given "Rattlesnake Pete"
Owings, who had the work in charge.
Dancing was continued until an
early hour to excellent music fur
nished by the Liberty orchestra, and
the elaborate and exquisite gowns of
the ladies, together with the beauti-
full decorations, made the occasion
one which will not soon be forgotten
by those who were there.

GRIEVANCES OF
LABOR RECITED
BUTTE LABOR AGITATOR
TALKS ON CAUSES OF IN
DUSTRIAL UNREST
is NARROW
Hint at Revolution, peace
ably if Possible"

"Sooner or later we have got to
govern, whether we like it or not,
because in Europe the capitalist ma
tions are ali bankrupt, and the cap
italist class OF the entire wo.ld are
mentally bankrupt. Sooner or later
we must take charge-peaceably if
possible-but we must take CHARGE"
said VIM. F. Dunn, state legislator
from Silver Bow county, editor of
the Butte Bulletin, and Montana's
arch labor agitator, in a speech last
night to fair sized audience at the
Liberty, following the usual picture
program.
The announced subject of his dis
course was "The Causes of Indus
trial Unrest" and he reviewed the
history of the social evolution from
the time of communism until the
present. 'Much of the industrial
unrest of the world" he said, ''is
felt on account of the failure of the
nations to put into practice the pre-
vailing ideals that they preached
during the war period"
Those who expected to hear Mr..
Dunn rant and rail against the gov
ernment were disappointed. He is
a clever talker, and whatever unrest
or dissatisfaction he strives to stir
up is stirred up not so much by di-
rect and tangible statements as by
the indirect impression created. Ap-
parently his real purpose is not to
allay the unrest in the world, but to
stir up more unrest.
Talks of Europe
He portrayed the condition of mis-
cry in which much of Europe is to-
iay-but he made no mention of the
fact that much of this misery was
directly brought about by the masses
eaving their work of production to
'ollow after a succession of agita-
ors in the hope that they may even
ually take hand in the ruling
,ame.
He quoted Frank Vanderlip as
aging that it is useless for us to ex-
,ect ever to collect the principal of
he money loaned to Europe, because
hey cannot even pay the interest
n their loans. "There is only one
hing" he said, ''that can save the
ituation, and that is the willingness

Plenty of Reasons Why
Water Bonds Must Carry

One hundred and nine property owners have registered
for the special water bond election to be held Saturday
April TO- at the usual polling places the different wards
between the hours Of eight and six p The lists
show 81 in Ward l, 80 in Ward g. 33 in Ward 3
is hoped that every one of these will vote Saturday
long list of substantial reasons why this issue of
$5OOOO bonds should carry could be cited but short list
will suffice
l. The present pumping and storage capacity is far
short of the present requirements of the city, and the city
is still growing.
g. During the season Of large water consumption the
small plant must pump long hours at high expense and
then the water runs low
3. The city needs water for fire protection A
big fire. lasting two hours would drain the tank
4. The situation will become worse many will con-
meet their property with the mains this and
water for household and sprinking purposes
S. With the present plant portions of the city, notably
on the Northside must remain without water although
they must help pay for the present. incomplete system
6. With insufficient water supply cannot expect
new industries requiring large quantities of water such
as creameries and laundries, to locate here.
z big plant will actually reduce the expense of the
water department because it will lift water at much less
cost per given quantity and insure much larger
sumption which to support the depart
ment and obviate tax levy for that purpose.
s. We live in climate of limited rainfall and an
abundance of water is needed to keep things growing
and beautify CITY, Trees and lawns are the good
clothes of city
g. With economical plant and the whole city using
water the should pay operating expenses and
leave annual balance to apply the bonds-the
getting value received in cheaper water, in
in taxes and taxable property to bear them
TO- Putting in these improvements would furnish
abor for local men and large part of money the i'm
cost would stay right here.
H. These bonds be sold at fair rate-offers are
ready being received big vote will help the rate.

GERMANY HUNGRY
and DESPERATE
LOCAL LUMBERMAN VISITS
RHINE DISTRICT TO GET
HIS CHILDREN

Erwin Schneider, one of the pro-
prietors of the Home Lumber Com
pany, arrived home last Saturday
morning from trip to western Ger
many, which was his former home.
Mr.. Schneider is perhaps the first
resident of this vicinity who has Wis
tied German since the war, and his
descriptions of what he saw there
and in other countries are extremely
interesting.
Conditions in German, he says,
even in the Rhine country where the
troups of the Allies and America are
still stationed, are even worse than
the impressions we have received.
There is practically no government,
and food is scarce, or at least so ex-
pensive that the poorer classes can
not get enough at one time to salts
fly their hunger. Profteering is many
times worse than it is in this
country. Only the wealthy have the
money to pay the prices that are ask
ed for decent food. Where food is
rationed out, the allowance is only
a fourth of a pound of meat per
week per person, with bread and po-
tatoes in far less quantity than is re-
quired to maintain health and
strength.
Mr.. Schrieber was invited to the
home of an old friend, fairly well to
