MISSOULA BUTTER WINS
BIG PRIZE IN CHICAGO

Missoula butter was awarded first
prize for the state of Montana at the
National Dairy show held in Chicago
recently. 1t was the product of the
Sentinel Creamery company, and
was made by William Castberg, ma
mayer of the concern. Fred Madsen,
butter maker for the new creamery,
also has a large number of cups and
trophies obtained all over the United
States, awarded him for products OF
his skill.
Dairy experts maintain that Mon
tana occupies the same place in the
world in the production of butter as
Switzerland does in the manufacture
of cheese. Montana butter has a
flavor all its own which is attributed
to the climate of this state, the good
water and pure air. The flavor OF
Montana butter, it is said, cannot be
duplicated anywhere.
William Castberg claims the dis
tinction of being the first man in the
state to ship butter to Chicago in
quantities; the largest shipment
made during his service in the state
being $1,000 pounds in one shipment
made from Lewistown, when in
charge of a creamery there.

Three hundred wheat cars SEN in
to Montana from st Paul recently t,
relieve accumulation of wheat hav,
gone east loaded, and all but two ele
vators in the immediate vicinity O
Great Falls are reported as still fill
ed to capacity.
The order for the unusual amount
of equipment was given by Vice Pres
ident Kenney after a visit to Mon
tana to investigate the reports Of
congestion in the elevators.
Ranchers Haul Grain In
1--WE have obtained, or will obtain
all of the extra equipment promised
us at st. Paul, but wheat has been
delivered at the elevators nearly as
fast as it has been loaded out" said
a Great Northern railroad official.
cat Ross Fork and Kolin, where the
worst congestions were reported early
in October, the warehouses have been
so nearly cleaned out that the rest OF
the crop in those sections can be
cared for comfortably, but at other
stations on the division, b~lockades
will be reported within the next week
unless cars come from a source now
unknown"
Slight reductions in the wheat
stored e the divisions have been
made through the loading of the 300
cars delivered within the last 10 days
but railroad men say that in a great
majority of cases the relief furnished
will probably be only temporary. A
telegram was sent from the Great
Falls offices informing headquarters
officials that since the supply of cars
was increased, enlarged wheat deliv-
cries have taken up nearly all of the
space created.
Motor Trucks Are Used
Railroad men comment significant
ly upon the relation of motor trucks
to the inability of the road to gain
on the volume of wheat in storage.
AT Broadview, trucks are delivering
five cars of wheat every day to one
elevator, and the town of Buffalo re-
ceives six cars of wheat daily by mo-
tor vehicles. Similar reports come
from towns where trucks are extern
sively used.
Reports reaching Great Falls of
the pools organized by farmers for
holding wheat for an anticipated rise
in price have tended to reduce the
anxiety of railroads over the car sit
uation in the west, Great Northern
officials are informed. For the last
two weeks news dispatches have car
ried accounts of a supposed extensive
movement for the holding of wheat
and it is considered certain that the
big terminals have taken notice of
the fact. Locally, little credence is
placed in the report that the demand
for cars will be noticeably affected
by any tendency to store grain for
price levels.

Having seized the property for ta5
due on distilled spirits, a matter in
dependent of the prohibition depart
ment, federal revenue officers at a
public auction in Butte recently sold
an automobile and a house and lot
at auction. The automobile brought
$3.50 and the house and lot $1,000.
Every moonshiner, this deputy said,
not only violates the Volstead act,
and thereby becomes subject to the
penalties therefor, but, in addition,
he violates the United States inter
nal evenue laws which require that
a tax be paid on distilled spirits.

FEDERAL RESERVE
REPORT OF CROP
MONTANA AND SOUTH DAKOTA
HAVE LARGEST CORN CROP
IN STATES HISTORY
Government Bureaus Report that
Montana, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota Will Produce SO Mil
lion Bushels Barley and IL Mil
lion Bushels of Flax.

Montana has this year the largest
corn crop in its history, according to
a statement issued by the federal re-
serve bank of Minneapolis. The
statement says:
The Ninth federal reserve district
has produced the largest corr crop in
its history, having an estimated pro
duction of more than 260 million bu-
shells. The states of South Dakota
and Montana have also the largest
corn crop in their history, while the
state of Minnesota has its second
largest corn crop. The forecast for
oats indicates a total production of
about 287 million bushels, which is
about 80 million bushels better than
last year.
An Important Factor
The combined corr and oat crops.
totalling 547,180,000 bushels, are a
more important factor in the agri-
cultural prosperity of the northwest
than the total wheat crop which has
an estimated production this year of
only 148 million bushels. The corn
crop for the whole United States is
also known to be the largest in it's
history.
Government bureaus also report
that the four states of Minnesota,
North Dakota, South Dakota and
Montana are expected to produce
about 69,0S3,0O0 bushels of barley,
100000 bushels of flax and A.
$4,000 bushels of potatoes. South
Dakota has an excellent potato crop
and the flax production has been
larger than for several years.
Country Shipments Improved
1t is estimated that the quantity
of new crop which had moved from
the farms by October 1 was 38 IL
per cent of the crop in South Dakota,
% per cent in Montana, 81 per cent
in Minnesota and 20 per cent in
North Dakota.
The shipments from country ele-
vators have improved because of bet
ter railroad conditions, the northwest
roads having secured a larger per-
centage of their boxcar ownership or
September l than on August 1. The
percentages respectively are 86.6 per
cent and 84.4 per cent. Also there
has developed a greater willingness
to expedite car movements by reduc-
ing delays in loading and shipping
and by heavier loadings per car

EASTER FLOWERS
IN GREAT DEMAND
Cheaper Than in Years and
Supply More Plentiful.

indianapolis persons are going to SAY
it with flowers this Easter.
According to florists there never has
been a heavier demand for blooms and
plants.
Irwin Bertermann of Bertermann
Brothers says the reason for the demand
is that flowers are cheaper, better and
more plentiful this Easter time than in
several years.
The spring weather has been most
favorable to dollhouse blooms, he claims.
Easter lilies are selling from 60 to 10
cents a bloom, while plants are going at
from $3.50 to So.
Roses are 81, So So and 50 per dozen.
Rose bushes in bloom are marked
from SO to $40.
Carnations, tulips, jonquils, and in
fact all popular types Of flowers are in
demand. Mr.. Bertermann asserts.
Carnations are selling from $3.50 to So
per dozen.
Other florists report business good and
prices lower.

Premier Joseph Cailiaux probably will
enable a verdict to be reached the mid

by Deputy MOutet, one of the lawyers
for the defense.
Cailaux himself believes there is a
chance of acqulttal. but most of his
friends expect he will be found guilty
and will be given a mild sentence of pun
ishment.
Caillaux' lawyers believe the verdict
will carry reservations that will enable
the defendant to rehabilitate himself

HOUSE SHES AT

Legislation May Be Allowed

Although the house judiciary commit

punish for seditious acts and utterances,
there is no present move on the part Of
the committee to call up the legislation
for consideration.
Senator Sterling, father Of an anti
sedition bill that caused j storm of pro-
test and was killed after it had passed

pairing another bill which he viii present

Chairman VOlstead of the house judi
ciary committee, said today no movement
was on in his committee to take up Sc
dition legislature.
Action by the New York assembly in
expelling socialist members of that body
caused n number Of members of the
house to begin agitation today for Il
federal anti-sedition law.
Other members of the house are cOun-
selling caution in connection with such
laws, and are urging that several states
