Andalusia Hotel Man Invites Officials to Investigate.
 Report UnjuStified

Andalusia, March i3-(Special.)-At the request of J. J. Moates, proprietor of the Dixie hotel, an untrue announcement of the closing of which was spread broad cast among the hotels of the state, c. A. Abele, director of inspection of the state board of health. has spent several days with Mir. Moates, in order to ascertain whether such a report might in any way be justified.
 After a thorough inspection of every phase of the operation of the hotel, MT. Abele found no major cause for com plaint. A few recommendations for min or changes and improvements were made and have already been followed out.
 It was the opinion of the management of the hotel and the inspector that the majority of the regular patrons, who have been questioned, that the announce ments concerning the Dixie were sent out by some one who had personal grievance. MT. Moates has posted $l00 reward for definite information reveal irg the perpetrator of the libel
 While in the city, Mir. Abele inspected the restaurants and meat markets iu company with Dr. R. I. Kearley, leay- ing with the managers of the places instructions concerning improvements. The local authority will enforce MT. Abele's instructions. MT. Abele stated that the condition of the markets here were far above the average.

WEEKLY DRY GOODS
Rx AsanoIatsd Preaa


 New York March 12-Although prices have weakened still further in unfinished cotton goods lines, the trend of business in jobbing and retail channels shows a substantial volume of yardage going into consumption. The movement is accredited by the comparatively low prices prevailing. This week the Amoskeag company named new prices for fall mapped cot tons on a. basis 66 per cent below the figures of last year, and this marks the average decline in primary mar ket prices for the many staple stand ard domestic cottons from the high peak of year ago. The distribution of percales. ginghams, prints. sheets and pillow cases, and many other standard lines of domestic goods is ac- tive.
 In many cases jobbers are able to show as good sales figures as year ago, this being exceptional because of the greatly reduced values. yet mer- chants point out that actual yardage movement is very good, denim prices are to be continued during April by the largest producers, on a basis of IS cents for eight-ounce goods, which is unchanged, and which has caused the lowering of overall prices everywhere. Print cloths, sheetings, fine-combed yarn goods. and convertibles generally have been dull, and sales when made have usually been at declining figures. Yarns have also been very quiet. On Monday fall lines of cotton underwear will be opened by the largest pro- ducers.
 Current prices in agencies are: Print cloths, 2s-inch s4x64s. 5 cents; 64x6es, "A cents; 391k inch 64x64s, 7A cents: brown sheetings, southern standards, II to 12 cents; tickings, eight ounces, 20 cents; denims. 22Os, indigo, IT cents; staple ginghams. 131s cents; dress ginghams, 15 and F cents prints II cents.

FARMERS WATERING
Greensboro Planters Undecided What
 to Grow

Greensboro, March 13.-(Special.) Farmers and business men were out today to hear Messrs. Briggs and Win ston, potato experts, present the cause Of a potato house to be located in Greensboro.
 While those present did not commit themselves to any definite action, they seemed impressed with the idea. The fact is the farmers are at sea. They have taken advantage of the pretty weather and plowed their lands, but they cannot decide what to plant. They realize the. futility of planting too much cotton, if any at all, but it is hard to decide what to do in the place of the old staple.

Reduction of the rate on British ex- chequer bills was the one hopeful note sounded abroad, and gave rise to dis cussion of possible lower Bank of england rate. The latter move, it was thought, might have a very direct bearing upon the attitude of the fiscal authorities who control interest and discount rates in this market.

Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Press

New York, March 12.-Developments of the week in the financial district and the leading commodity markets strengthened the belief held in well informed banking circles that restor- ation of normal conditions in com merce and industry is likely to be of very slow growth.
 The stock market was in a constant state of ferment, each succeeding ses- sion showing greater activity.
 This was largely to the detriment of quoted values, however many of the more conspicuous issues repeat ing or exceeding last years minimum prices.
 Estimates of the relative proportions of long and short sales diffeted wide ly, but the tone of the market in the later dealings clearly indicated that sherts had succeeded in their efforts to dislodge weakened holdings and provoke fresh liquidation. The domi- nant factor in the decline centered around the railroad situation. partic- ularly In relation to the forthcoming s nationwide reduction of wages
 Returns of the railroads for the first month of the year were extremely dis appointing, and preliminary figures for February showed further diminu- tion due mainly to smaller grain and cotton shipments and the decline of steel and iron deliveries.
 Failure of theI,ondon conference and the consequent occupation of Germany by the allied forces was another ad- verse influence. The immediate in. fluence on the market was less obvi-

HEALTHY MONTANA

At the meeting of the Rotary Club last
Tuesday noon, the members were given a large
number of figures by Dr.. Hitchcock of the state
Health Department which no doubt came as con-
siderable of a surprise. These figures demon
strate that the Health Department of Montana
has been doing a colossal work without doing any
very great amount of advertising of the result
Many times it is found there are those who
take so much interest in their labor they are
prone to leave it to others to record and give
credit to them for what they do. This seems
to be true in the case Of the State Board of
Health. The talk given at the luncheon Tuesday
gave more information to the hearers than they
would read in year, and the only regret is that
it is not published word for word. It carried
information every person in the state should
know.
How many residents of this district know
that Montana today rank first of all the United
States in point of health? How many know that
here in Bozeman, at the Montana State college,
is a man who has had as much-if not more
to do with bringing Montana to this wonderful
situation than any other? In speaking of the con-
troll Of the water conditions throughout the state
Dr. Hitchcock paid high tribute to Prof w. NJ
Cobleigh chemist at the college, to him and his
constant and untiring efforts, his thoroughness
in making analysis his great knowledge, has been
one of the premier factors in improving the health
conditions in Montana.
The statement was made that for the first
nine months of 1921 Montana had a death rate
OF only 2.9 per hundred. That is remarkable
when compared with the rate of 1910 when there
were but two states where the death rate was
greater than prevailed in Montana This should
be cause for the citizens of Montana to feel
proud of the State Health Department its most
earnest workers are devoting their time to doing
that for the state which will be more fully ap-
J ipreclated many years hereafter.
