STOCK BUYING
WITH FEDERAL
FUND IS PLAN
Change Contemplated in Loan
Policy; Railroads Buy Stock
in State Concern.

A change in the policy under which
federal loans are authorized by the
War Finance corporation so as to make
available money for the outright pur-
chase of livestock by borrowers in
cases where the collateral is sufficient,
is now under consideration, according
to Sam Stephenson. president of the
Montana Livestock Finance corporation
through which more than $2,5OO,OOO in
loans has been placed Under the pres
ent ruling of the War Finance corpo-
ration loans are not made except in
taking up paper previously given.
Part OF Purchase Price
Mr.. Stephenson stated that the con-
templated change of policy would prob
ably operate to the advantage of many
ranchers who desire to enlarge their
herds and also to those who desire to
establish herds. It is not intended that
100 per cent of the purchase price be
advanced, but if ahe plan is worked
out loans would issue in cases where
the margin of collateral is considered
sufficient. Questionnaires are now be-
ing sent out to bankers with an idea
to learning their views on the matter
under consideration.
Few cattle are for sale in the state
and any extensive program Of buying
BY Montana ranchers would in all
probability involve importations from
other states, stockmen say High
grade cattle are available in the south
weStern states, it is said, but some To-
callties have stock of quality that
would not be likely to tempt the Mon
tana grower.
The Montana Livestock Finance cor
poration has increased it's cash capital
ization from $25O,OOO to $3.50, 900. and
$4,000 in additional stock may be
sold, Mr.. Stephenson stated. The
concern started business last fall to be
of assistance in placing federal loans
and operated on the basis of $1,000. 900
in loans on the initial capitalization.
This amount was placed several weeks
ago and the balance of the authorized
capital was then offered.
Railroads Take Stock
Two hundred thousand of the second
issue has been sold, Of which a sub
stantial portion was subscribed by
eastern banks, and $4,000 by two
railroads The roads
interested themselves in the enterprise
because of desire to be of assistance
in restoring the livestock industry in
Montana, Mr.. Stephenson said.

not reveal the name of the customer

PUBLICWANTS
RUM SELLING
STAMPED OUT
O. H. P. Shelley Says Senti-
ment Is Turning Against
the Bo0tlegger.

Public sentiment is now lending sub
stantial support to the enforcement of
the Liquor laws, and the bootlegger,
heretofore viewed by the public in an
apathetic sort Of way, and even en-
couraged in his infringements of the
law, is slowly but surely giving ground.
according to 0. II. p. Shelley, federal
prohibition director for Montana, who
arrived in Great Falls Saturday for a
brief visit.
The change in the public mind has
had telling influence on law enforce
ment," declared Mr.. Shelley. Boot
Logging activities are gradually being
stamped out. Enforcement of the
liquor laws has acquired new degree
of rigidity because Of the cooperation
from majority of the county offic-
ials. This loyal support is clearly seen
in the attitude of the district judges.
They are now handing out stiff SEN
tences to .violators, especially those
who have been arrested on previous
liquor charges
Mr.. Shelley said that rum running
between Montana and Canada had
slumped IN recent months, but he ex-
pressed the belief that unfavorable
travelling conditions was largely re-
sponsible for the falling off in the
traffic. The majority of violations now
confronting the officers, he said, in
volve the operation Of stills.
Confiscation of contraband liquors
reveal, said Mr.. Shelley. that but little
Of the bonded stuff is now being sold
BY the bootleggers. Nearly ali the
liquor seized, he asserted, is moon
shine, some of fair quality, but more
Of the kind that knocks man out
for several days after he has taken
few drinks. Bootleggers are now TAX
ing to plastering their bottles with
counterfeit Canadian and American
stamps.
Mr. Shelley left Saturday night for
Havre. He expects to return to Great
Falls about the middle of the week to
lend hand in the prosecution of
several liquor cases in the federal
court.

CLASS TO OFFERING
OF PAN VAUDEVILLE
Clever Numbers by Talented
Artists Bring Program
Above Average.

There's class to the Pantages vaude-
vile program which opened for two
nights engagement at the Grand the
ater Saturday night. It's six-act bill,
which, to some, whould indicate that it
might have a few weak spots-but
that possibility was completely shat
tered in the minds of all who saw its
first two performances. 1t is bill
that is considerably above the average,
and is made up of clever stuff, which
is put over by talented artists--both
the artists and their artistry having
gorgeous settings.
BerEivici Brothers and Jack Gold in
Moments Musical" carried the audi
ence away with their mellowed violins
and golden tenor voice. OF the three
scenes in their act, the second. which
is a Venetian night. with shimmering
waters and gondola, is a picture that
is as dreamy as their soft, tenuous mu-
sic. Criticism of their act, if there
can be any, would center on their last
scene, in which they drop their artistic
pose and do little Kidding" 1t is
clean, clever comedy, but not in keep
ing with the first two parts of their
turn.
Close on the heels of Moments Mu-
sical'' for first honors on the program
rs SiDlis bIUduNdy ID uIusltdI revue
of tuneful melodies set in elaborate
scenic effects. 1t is frankly admitted
to be compilation of steals" from
leading musical shows in New York
city and the limitations are creditably
enacted. The dancer Of the company
is exceptionally talented.
The Southern Harmony Four are
white folks in spite, of their stage
prelude that might make one think
otherwise There are good voices in
the quartet, though the bass end is a
mite weak Their harmony singing is
most pleasing. Mason and Bailey, two
colored boys, have been in Great Falls
before. Their act rates Al. even
though some Of their jokes are stale.
The show opens and closes with ac-
robatic stunts. but each act is different
in its particular line and thoroughly
enjoyable The Four Danubes have a
casting performance that is more SEN
sational than anything ever seen in
this city before. 1t is thrilling and
breath taking Maggie Clifton, who
opens the show, is strong woman
par excellence, going through difficult
athletic turns with grace and ease that
wins admiration.
