THE TANK-A GIANT SLUG.
Il. r. IefferY. O. r. CT

The coming of the Ermentrude to
our city r~evives our interest in the
work Of these war machines in the
| great war. We now know how i'm
portant a part they played in winning
the victories on the western front in
the months of September to December
of 1916.
The men who were selected to do
this important work were men of mer-
it as to ability and courage. How i'm
portant it was to have men of unusual
bravery is much in evidence as we
study the danger that came to them
in the discharge of their duties. Many
stories Of heroic doings are in our
history for our counsel and inspira-
ton and will do much to brace US for
the task we have in these postwar
times.
1t was in the fall of 1916 that the
tank was first used by the British
on the Verdun-Somme fronts. 1t was
at the town of Martinpuich that the
Germans had their baptism from these
crawling engines of destruction. These
destructive engines of warfare were
from twenty to forty feet long and
were painted drab, or some unassum-
ing color calculated to blend with the
tones of the landscape. Sliding along
the ground on caterpillar wheels, with
armored cheeks on each side of the
head, above with guns stuck out like
stalked eyes of land crabs, their first
appearance in this sector may well
have created CONSERVATION among the
German troops who saw them for the
first time. In the dim light they sug-
gested the giant slugs Of prehistoric
times. There was something uncan-
ny about these steel-scaled monsters
that slid over the ground, as it were,
on their stomachs, balanced by a flimsy
tail supported on two wheels. Weigh
ing many tons, when the "tank" came
to an obstacle, such as a house or a
stone wall, it rammed the obstruction
with it's full weight, and then climb
ing over the debris numbered on it's
way. Through vast craters and muddy
she'll holes and over trenches the mon
ster waddled along, scattering death
and destruction as they advanced. The
German soldiers, after the first con-
sternation caused by the appearance
of these engines of war in the field,
bravely attacked them; swarming over
them and seeking to batter in the steel
plates anb to silence the guns that

ODE TO A HOT SCHOOL
LUNCH

y y y X + X 4
We kids are little, that is true;
We should be seen, not heard;
But l think here's a handsome chance
To get in just a word.
And it's about the old lunch pail
We lug to school each day;
The cold, cold food that's meant tc
make
Us unfit for work or play.
I wish you folks could see our lunch
In tipping zero weather;
It's frozen hard and we pry off
The lid to eat together.
A frozen yellow-eyed egg,
A sandwich stiff with cold
Is food that never cheers US much,
Like Midas eating gold.
Why, Dad feeds pigs a mash that's
hot
10, keep them up to snuff,
And cows have water warmed for them
And the biddies eat hot stuff.
I wonder why we cannot have
A lunch at least as good
AS do the chickens, pigs and cows,
l am very sure it would
Speed up our wits and make us all
Be brainier kids; my bunch
Is that it wouldn't be so hard
To have a hot school lunch.
And if we want it hard enough,
l know there is a way
To find out all about it,
Let's do it now, l say.
If you big folkses only would
Lend US your farm bureau
To put our hot school lunch upon
We'd be the happiest kids you know.
And if you don't heat up our lunch
You'll get a grand surprise;
Well initiate you older folks,
We kids will organize.

EQUITY NEAR BANKRUPTCY.

The National Union of the American

APPROACHING DAY OF REST.

The p~recarious financial condition of
European countries has brought about
speculation in and profiteering on for
eign exchange. The "cheap" dollar
we rattle around in our pockets won't
buy very much here, but it surely
makes it's former equivalent in foreign
exchange look cheap indeed.
In spite of the vast debt of the
United States, our financial soundness
is unquestioned. On the other hand,
the nations of the allies and the en-
tente are in a bad way with prospects
of national bankruptcy looming men,
acingly in the offing.
The very conditions brought about
by the war have given this country
an opportunity to heavily discount for
eign exchange. There is only one So
luton for the foreign countries doing
business with the United States-the
refusal to buy our exports. Sooner
or later the refusal will come, leaving,
as a result, American products a drug
on the market.
Following this there will be the in
evitable drop in wages and commodi-
ties. The frail h. c. |. structure will
topple, bringing back to a certain ex-
tent, pre-war prices and conditions.
The economic loss will be great in
places, but the ultimate consumer,
whose profits have remained substan-
TALLY where they were before the wal
with an increasing outlay for every
necessary, will have his little "day
of rest"

"We must spread the war burden

"The railroads should be returned

tween capital and labor, between those
who work and those who direct, must
be on the basis of a square deal to
labor and a square deal to capital; a
wage which, with thrift and industry,
will enable a man to live and save.
We must provide the necessary ma
chinery to promptly investigate con-
ditions at issue in strikes and for
making the same public. W. can large
ly control these conditions through
sound public opinion; but sound pub

intelligent and frank publicity. We
strive to increase the human element
in the relations between employers
and employees. We must see that la
Dor has suitable working conditions.
We must abolish child labor. We must
give an honest days wage for an hon

must give an honest days work. We
must not only let live, but help to
live.

THE REASONS FOR
THE POOR
BY RURAL SCHOOLS

Helena, Feb. 28.-In 38 Montana
counties last year there were ove1
1900 school districts without an 9Th
grade graduate. In o~ne-teachel
schools there was only one graduate
to every as pupils enrolled. In the
larger schools of the third class dis
tricts there was n graduate to ev-
cry nineteen enrolled, and in districts
of the first and second class there was
one to every seventeen enrolled. A
few city schools went even better than
this, having one elementary school
graduate to every twelve pupils en-
rolled.
A very close relation exists between
the relatively few common school
graduates in rural Montana and the
teachers pay. The public is clearly
the loser by the inadequate salaries
that have been paid teachers. The rel
atively low wage offered by rural
trustees, has, in many instances, at
tracted only such teachers as could
barely qualify under the law, and the
poor teaching in consequence has re-
suited in few graduates. Many coun-
try tachers who have given genuine
service and worked faithfully have
undoubtedly been much underpaid. But
the financial loss to them is in no way
commensurate with the inestimable
loss sustained by hundreds of children
who fail to receive an eighth grade
education.
The question of securing a common
school education to every normal child
is obviously a financial one Length
of term is often determined by avail
able funds. Poor teaching has little
power to encourage attendance, and
such teaching is closely related to low
wages. Much more money is needed
for teachers, and an adequate supply
of them, if thousands of III children
are to be given possession of even
an eighth grade education. By it the
very future of our country is to be
determined.
1t has been found that in cities of
the central states 1894 more per an
mum has been paid to carry bricks
than to train children; 1868 more to
mold dough for bread than to mold
boys and girls into citizens; $500 more
to hammer hot iron than to hammer
ideals; and S1024 more to build frame
works for buildings than frameworks
for character" The teachers pay
must be commensurate with that of
other occupations if all children are
to receive a common school education.
The product of our schools is af-
fected by the teachers pay. Increase
salaries for better teachers and chill
dren will get more schooling. With
the fullest cooperation on the part
of all groups Of people there is no
reason why teachers salaries should
not be put on a satisfactory and sci
entific basis that of paying all teach
ers a living and a saving wage in such
a way that the maximum of service
may be given to the schools.

fication is approved by the county
agent in the county where the live
stock owner lives. In the relatively
few cases where there is no county
agent, the written endorsement of the
blank by two experienced and disinter-
ested livestock owners is required.
Every person agreeing in writing,
on the blank. furnished, to use only
purebred sires in his breeding opera
tions receives an emblem of recogni-
ton issued comparatively by the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
and the state in which he lives. So
called "red tape" has been reduced
to, a minimum and the emblems have
been issued in most cases the day the
blanks were received.
Female Stock Need Not Be Purebred.
Though pointing out the foregoing
observations-and especially the ten
dency for purebred-sire owners to ac-
quire purebred females-the depart
ment Of agriculture does not urge
bred female stock on the average
farm. Whether purebred females
should be kept is a matter of individ-
ual judgment depending on circum-
stances which the livestock owner is
best able to know. The successful
breeding of purebred livestock as a
business calls for close attention and
considerable experience, both in pro-
duction and marketing. By contrast,
the purpose of the better-sires move
ment is to raise the average quality
of all stock in the United States.
The department therefore goes no
further than to urge the use of good
purebred sires. 1t believes that after
having taken that step livestock own
ers will continue to improve their
domestic animals, raising either
grades, crossbreds or purebreds-or
some of each-whichever seems best
suited to the kind of farming follow
ed and to the available markets.

DWELLING is IMPORTANT
PART OF FARM EQUIPMENT

The dwelling is the headquarters
of the farm business. Chores are
done before breakfast and often after
supper, the stock need close atten-
ton, certain farm seeds are kept in
the house, the hired man may sleep
there, and the women folks often take
care of the poultry; thus it is AMIDST
essential that the house be reason
ably close to the other buildings, says
the United States department of agri-
culture.
The value of the house constitutes
an important part of the real estate
value of the farm. On the higher
priced cornbelt farms and the low-pric-
ed cotton-belt farms the value of the
dwelling represents from 5 to Is per
cent of the real estate value of the
farm, while in the eastern part of the
United States this percentage is more
commonly 20 per cent or over.

spouted fire from the head, but the
daring efforts we're useless and caus-
ed many casualties. Machine gun fire
was also Intellectual. They could only
be disabled by a direct hit from a
large gun. 1t is said that the. Ger.
mans voiced their disgust for this
kind of warfare and protested that
the British were not fighting fair.
At first the Germans thought they
could rush a tank as they would a
fort, and lost heavily in such futile at
tacks; they could make no impression
on the steel "hide" of the monsters.
Once astride a trench the guns of the
tank could rake right and left, now
ing down the defenders whose volleys
battered harmlessly on the steel plates
of the war engine.
A young Australian who served in
one of these new war machines de-
scribed "tank-sickness" as being as bad
as sea-sickness until you became ac-
customed to the constant plunges and
%lurchings as a tank encountered OBJ
stacles on its way. The young officer
noted down his impressions as he mo-
tored around in his tank. A quotation
will be of interest:
"Peppering begun at once. Thought
the old thing was to be drowned in a
shower of bullets. Germans dashed up
from all sides. We fired at them point
blank. The survivors had another try.
More Of them went down. . . A
rain of bullets was resumed. 1t was
as if hundreds of rivets were being
driven into the hide of the tank. Got
right across a trench. Made the
sparks fly. Went along parapet, rout-
ing out Germans everywhere. Tried
to run, but couldn't keep up under
fire. Threw up the sponge and sur
rendered in batches."
During this advance at Martinpuich
the British penetrated the third Ger
man line, which was shattered at all
points. Three new villages-Flers,
M~artinpuich and Gourcelette-fell in
to British hands and more than 20
miles of trenches were taken. Over
100 officers and more than 1000 other
ranks were captured by the British.
The Ermentrude and her officers
bring hostages to us today and we
live anew the tales of the doings of
these huge slugs. How important
these machines were in the war will
more and more come to our knowl-
edge.
1t is with real pride in the achieve
ments Of our soldiers that we join
in this boosting program to show our
appreciation and to encourage enlist
ments in the present army.
The tendency is not to appreciate
the efforts put forth by men in pub
lie life and this finds support in the
often heard words concerning the old
soldier of the Civil war, "Oh, he's an
old soldier" Depreciation is the gift
of a shallow heart. Appreciation is a
strong mans gift. The American peo-
pie are a strong people. They build
toward strength and cannot forget the
heroism of the men who died and of
those who returned. And we can say
with Cathleen HOLMAN:
"They shall be remembered forever;
The people shall hear them forever"

HOW TO CONTROL HOG NANCE

Hog mango is spread mainly by di-
rect bodily contact, according to in.
vestigations recently conducted by the
United States department of agricul-
tue. The disease is contracted most
rapidly among hogs of low vitality.
especially those kept in small enclos-
ures. 1t spreads more slowly among
vigorous animals kept in pastures or
in clean, well-lighted, roomy pens or
buildings. Failure by swine owners
to control hog mango results in heavy
losses from shrinkage as well as from
a high death rate. The department
states that the disease can eradicated
by four clippings in a lime-sulphur
or arsenical solution with intervals
of 6 or Z days between dippings.
