A BIG DEMAND
FOR TOBACCO
In Europe, Caused By The Increased
Use of Tobacco For Cigarettes
During The Year 1919.
Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20-The ex-
traordinary European demand for to-
bacco other than the cigar types and
immensely increased use of tobacco
for cigarettes during 1919 raised the
average farm price of the composite
chewing, smoking, snuff and export
types to Alb cents on December l.,
or greatly above the price of 21.9
cents for cigar tobacco, experts of
the Department of Agriculture state.
The price of cigar types of tobacco
before last year always has been a
bove that of the other types, as a
whole. Cigar tobacco last year was
lower in price than it was in either
1918 or 1917, not because of increase
or production, but because Of weaker
demand. In commenting on the prices
the Department of Agriculture says
the cigar has been overtaken and
passed by the cigarette.

COUNCIL ORDER
REQUIRES THAT
British Subjects Shall Take Place
Americans AS Managing Direct
Ors of China Companies Op-
Grating In The Orient.
Associatd PRESS

SHANGHAI, Feb. 2O-An order in
council issued by the British govern
ment in London, of which notice has
been received here, requires that Brit
ish subjects shall take the place of
Americans as managing directors of
China Companies" operating in the
Orient under British register.
This affects large number of bus
mess concerns conducted in the Far
East by Americans, especially in Sha-
nghai which is center of American
commercial activity.To them the or
der comes with stunning effect. It's
essential part reads:
mo person other than a British
subject resident within the limits of
this order, shall act as managing di-
rector or in any position similar to
that of managing director, or shall
otherwise exercise general or sub
stantial control of a China Company"
A fine of $50 day is imposed upon
the company and every director and
manager who violates the order. Fail
ure to comply with it will be consid-
cred as ground upon which an order
for winding up the company may be
made in court.
Meetings of the American Chamber
of Commerce and the American Asso-
citation of China were called to discuss
the new order. All these letters were
drafted and addressed to the British
Chamber of Commerce and the Brit
lsh China Association. The texts of
these letters were not disclosed but it
Was stated that British commercial in
terests were told that if an attempt
is made to enforce the provisions of
the order, the future relationship of
Americans and British in the Orient
will be imperilled.
1t was planned also at the meetings
of the American interests to send a
cablegram of protest to the American
State Department at Washington.
Some of the largest business con-
Germs in the Orient are affected by the
ne worder and several of the largest
have been operating in the Orient
many years, having widespread con-
nections and vast obligations. 1t is
held that when these enterprises were
launched it was found that American
Incorporation laws had not been
drawn in manner to foster CONNER
cial operations abroad while existing
British laws have been designed to
encourage foreign trade. This is Civ
en- ordinarily as the reason why many
of these China companies owned and
operated by Americans saw fit to place
themselves under British registration
under the ordinances of the Crown
Colony of Hongkong.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTER.
(From J. F. Clark & Co.,
hv Aho Ci1vorN

by Abe Silver.)
Liverpool shows a distinctly easier
tendency with futures and spots re-
acting about 80 points. Sales 5000
General news overnight was against
the market.
The drygoods report says cotton
goods steady but sales light. Wall
Street reports says the market inclin-
ed to sag on report current that the
federal reserve board would increase
the discount rate to six and one half
per cent for further effectiveness in
reducing commercial loans. This is
taken as preparatory for what is to
come.
The weather map shows cloudiness
over the west but fair the rest of the
belt. No rain, warmer. Indications
are for increasing cloudiness possibly
some rain West, but partly cloudy to
fair Eastern half of the belt.
The market opened about ten lower
on the reaction at Liverpool, good
weather and the general news, but
seemed to encounter set working
program by scalpers for a rally on
the possibility of bullish mill takings
and holiday covering This intention
was helped along by the rally in ster-
ling exchange and the government
forecast for unsettled rainy weather
West of the River. The market res
ponded to attempts to rally it on tenn
porary influences and advanced about
20 points, then lapsed into waiting
quietness around yesterdays closing
prices.

MEN VOTERS TWICE
WOMEN REGISTERED
IN CASCADE COUNTY
Proportion Of Women Greater
in Great Falls Than in
Rural Precincts.

Men voters in Cascade county will
Outnumber women nearly two TO one.
Female registration in Great Falls total
4,O25 and male registrations 5000, and
IN the outside precincts are 3,716 men
and 1891 women. The total Of all
male voters is $500 and women voters
in both the country and city number
5,916.
The county's total registration was
increased by Fl Saturday through cor
rections made in the poll list. Trans
fers and other items increased the
number of qualified electors from
1901 to 1922. In the final check of
the registration list 81 names were
erased and 81 added.
Another set Of polling booths were IN
stalled in the county clerks office. Satur-
day when the rush of prospective alb
sentees became 50 great that it be-
came necessary to enlarge the equip
ment. Saturday night it was known
that the 500 mark had been passed.
Examination of the election laws Sat
urday by Clerk Moran brought out the
fact that no voter is allowed to occupy
n booth more than five minutes If the
other booths in the precinct are oc-
cupied at the time The point was in
vestigated because experiments had
shown that the average voter VIII THIS
year require Is minutes to mark the
general and special measure ballots. 1t
is considered possible that the law may
be constru ed to mean that i've
minutes is allowed for each ballot, but
there is no record that the law has ever
been interpreted in this regard.

Matte q.
Hay

Democratic candidate for County
Superintendent of Schools was born
In Iowa and is the daughter of a Civil
war veteran.
She graduated from the Sabula high
school as yaledictOrian of her class,
attended college and obtained her nor
NAL training also in Iowa, and moved
to Cascade county in 1908.
Her teaching experience covers a
period of sixteen years in Iowa, at
Belt, Mont, and at the farm near
Salem.
Lack Of school facilities at the farm
compelled her to teach her daughter
at home whom she took through the
grades and prepared to successfully
pass the eighth grade state eXamina-
tion before the present county super
intendent in 1917, when the child was
barely eleven years old.
Speaking Of Mrs. Hays candidacy,
the Belt Valley Times in this weeks
issue says editorially:
- Another former Belt teacher
Mrs. Matte G. Hay, has been nomin-
ated for the office and judging from
her record as a teacher here, we have
no hesitancy in stating that She will
If elected, give the county an energet-
ic and efficient administration. There
Is no question as to her qualification
and ability"

these the Belt Valley Times, the Gey-
ser Times ana Neihart Mining News
