356 SEEK LOANS
OF SEED GRAIN in
PHILLIPS COUNTY
Thirty Per Cent of Small Grain
Seeded With CONDITIONS
Favorable for Crop.

Special to The Tribune.
Malta, May "a reeheck OF the ap-
plications received from Phillips county
farmers for seed grain loans made on
last Saturday, the last day for receiv-
ing applications, shows a total of 36o
farmers asking for $3.50 for the
purchase of seed grain this year. ot
this number 500 have been forwarded
to Grand Forks from the county
agents office. and to date the loans
of 10o farmers have been closed and
the money received. A large mum
Der of applications from this county
have been rejected but il is evident
that more than 200 farms will receive
seed from the federal government this
year. The principal grounds for re-
lection are largely in the yields oh
tanned last year and the failure of a
large number to have their 1921 loans
properly attended to.
The federal seed grain act will mean
a large increase in the acreage to be
planted to small grain in Phillips coun-
ty this year and this fact. together
with favorable climatic conditions,
point to a prosperous agricultural year
in this county. Although the season
is backward, approximately 80 per
cent Of the small grain has been seeded
to date and a few days of fine weather
will put the bulk Of the spring work
over.
Indications point to a big increase
in the acreage Of feed crops, notably
corn and winter rye.

ANACONDA COUNCIL
REFUSES SANCTION
OF POLICE FORCE
Provides Magistrate but Tables
Motion to Provide for
Officers.
Special to The Tribune.

Anaconda, May 3.-Not content
with having Anaconda known as the
home of the biggest stack in the world,
the city council apparently wants to
give it the distinction of being a po-
l~iceless community. The last meet
ing of that body was more or less of
a paradox. After accepting the resig-
nation of the police magistrate and
electing his successor, who happened
TO be an alderman. and who resigned
his a%ldermanic berth to become a can
didate for the magistrates office, the
council refused to sanction a police
force. Taxpayers are now wondering
what it is all about.
At the time the police force was
abolished in the interests Of economy,
the policing of the city was turned
owe to the sheriff's force. which was
augmented by two extra "watchmen'
who were paid by the business men.
One of the watchmen was m of three
policemen who were being held on the
eligible list.
AT the council meeting a resolution
was adopted. by which the eligible
policemen were transferred from the
eligible list to active service. Follow
ing the adoption of the resolution il
was tabled, by a vote of 8 to 4, SUBJ
ject to call. The eight republican al
dermen voted to table the resolution,
while the four democrats were op.
posed.
The action of the council brought
forth an outburst from Mayor Nc
Cavitt. who predicted trouble in the
future, provided action was not taken
to provide the city with a police force.

The HQSkin Letter . T : a::.s
WINNING THE $4,000 NAVY.

disapprove Of the enlarged personnel
voted for the navy because of the fact
that government funds, raised by taxes
on the people, are required to support
them. BY proponents of the $4,000
navy, this is regarded as an inevitable
but somewhat peculiar state OF mind.
One of the senator's who declared
he would fight the naval limitation
treaty if the $1,000 personnel was not
made an issue BY the White House,
points out this situation:
Would Weaken Navy
II, in the negotiations between. the
powers of the world which led to the
treaty, the United States had agreed
to write into the covenants an agree
ment that it would scrap n more bat
tleship than England, there would have
been a veritable road of protest from
the people Of the country. Then, he
said, Messrs. Hughes, Lodge, Root and
tarily retired to private life. They
would have been looked upon, he con
tended, as having betrayed their coun-
try by permitting it to be weaker spec
%ifically in naval power than another
great power of the earth, and as hav-
ing invited trouble by that action. The
interest and excitement aroused BY the
agreement all through the country is
guarantee of this fact, he said.
AS q matter of fact, this senator
said, cutting down the personnel of
the navy so that all of the ships al
lowed the United States could. not be
kept in commission and the men train
ed to their duties, amounts to exactly
the same thing. The ships and guns
alone are nothing, without trained
--- .-.. ~ n~{
Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt is au-
81, 900 personnel. the navy could keep
in commission only Is of the Is capital
fighting ships allowed it under the
treaty. The other vessels would have
skeleton crews on them only, to keep
them from going completely to pot
while lying idle for periods of years.
This senator, who comes from a
state where the question of Japan is
ever in the minds of the people, said
that the people of his part Of the
try were alive to this fact. They felt
that the United States might just as
well scrap five of its big fighting ships
as have that many out of commission
and unable to render service when that
service was needed.
All of this, it is understood, was
communicated to the White House.
President Harding saw the justice Of
the situation. The administration was
torn between going counter to its "
leadership in the house of represent
atives and the possibility of failing to
have the senate ratify the naval treaty.
Even if the opposition which would
have sprung up in the senate had not
been strong enough to defeat the
treaty. it would have caused a big
break in the ranks Of the republican
majority there. a thing which naturally
the president was anxious to avoid.
In this dilemma. President Harding.
whose w views were opposed to
having idle and undermined vessels,
went before the members of the house
of representatives. and by his influence
secured adoption Of the larger person
mel for the limited American navy.

COMPANY TO SPEND
$4,000 ON HAVRE
TELEPHONE SYSTEM
Entirely New Cable Plant Will
Be Installed to Provide
City Service.

Special to The Tribupe.
Havre, May 3.--The Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph company is
preparing to install an entirely new
outside cable plant throughout the
Havre telephone system at a costof
$4,000, Manager D. e. McPherso kOf
the local plant, stated Tuesday.
When the company installed the PRE-
sent system, it was done with the in
tention of providing an adequate plant
for the city for the subsequent 10
years. However, the city has grown so
much more rapidly than was expected
that it has become necessary to build
a new plant at the present time.
Gable plant has been ordered for the
entire city and is expected to arrive
not later than July. Work will be
started Immediately and will probably
be completed within five months.
Standardizing or rewriting OF about 500
houses will be involved in the program
of reconstruction. All new lines will
be metallic and there will be no in
ductive interference. At present many
lines are grounded.

But we believe no candid person
will dispute the statement of the
senator when he says that in cast
ing his vote in the senate on every
occasion he has been guided by a
high n of his duty, and not in
fluenced by any selfish purpose, OF
political advantage to himself. 1,
has taken a good deal of moral
courage on the part of Senator
Myers to occupy the position he
has taken on some public questions
perhaps contrary to the drift OF
popular sentiment among the vot-
ers. But we fully believe his state.
ment that he has been guided by his
conscience and best judgment on
all such occasions. He has been no
rubber stamp in the senate. He
has been no coward either, trying
to dodge the responsibility of his
POSitAOls A1C HAO AIOt PoooCN tAS
buck to others. He has met his
responsibilities with courage and
conscience.
It is no secret that Senator
Myers does not consider himself
a politician and does not like poll
tics very we'll. His temper is
o judicial than political, and
therefore it is no great surprise
to us that he has concluded to re-
tire from the senate and devote
himself to the practice of law for
the remainder of his life. When
he leaves political life at Wash
ington and comes back to Montana
as a private citizen, he can do 50
with a sense of duty fully perform
ed to the best of his ability as a
public servant. In our opinion he
merits the commentator well
done good and faithful servant"

Special to The Tribune.
Havre, May 3.-Of the "a Havre
high school graduates who entered col
college at the present time, according
to Miss Grace NJ. Easter, principal of
the high school. OF this number 60
have entered college since 1909.
Havre high school is accredited In
The Northwest Association Of Second
airy Schools and Colleges, which is also
accredited by the North Central as
ISOLATION, which means that Havre
high school graduates are qualified for
entrance into any college from Chicago
to the western coast. Ever since its
establishment, the local high school
has offered courses which are neces-
sary to fulfill requirements for college
entrance. In only two cases have stu
dents had any difficulty entering from
the local high school, and on those DC.
casions it was because they did not
complete the work that was offered.
A letter from Chancellor e. c. Ell
hot of the University Of Montana to
Miss Easter suggests that principals be
more careful in their recommendations
of honor students, because such a
number have been failing to make good.
He questioned the a~dvisability of con-
tinuing the practice Of granting schol-
arships to honor students but stated
that the system would be continued for
another year. Miss Easter, checking up
the honor students who went to Mon
tapa colleges from Havre, found that
every one had made exceptionally good
records.
There are eight members Of the
class of 1918 who will be graduated
from college this June: there are four
at the college at Bozeman, three at
the state university at Missoula and
4 at the Washington college at
Pullman.

will be rs to 30 bushels per acre.
No seeding has been done up to the
| present time at Joplin on account OF
weather conditions. About 5 per cent
of last years acreage will be seeded, il
was stated, providing government seed
loans are allowed. There is no winter
wheat in that community but about
500 acres of rye are looking good.
About 10 per cent of seeding has
been done at Chester, although it has
been very wet there for the past week.
1t is estimated that at the end Of the
| week there was four feet of moisture
in the ground. Fifty per cent of the
winter wheat is frozen out, but farmers
have reseeded this with spring wheat.
Probably Is per cent of last years
acreage will be planted.
Work Halted at Devon
Prospects are very good at Devon,
although seeding has been held up tenn
porarily on account of wet weather.
Between 400 and 500 acres of spring
wheat have been seeded, mostly in
| summer fallow. One hundrd and fifty
acres of winter rye is looking fine.
About 5 per cent of last years acre
age is being planted. Slowness of ap-
prevail of the seed loans is holding up
the work.
Dunkirk community believes that the
1922 acreage will be 10 per cent of the
1921 acreage, if seed loans go through.
No winter wheat was planted but
about % per cent of spring seeding
is completed and present conditions
are favorable.
At Shelby prospects are good for a
crop. Twenty-Five per cent of the
,arpoo1 anrapUn has airp9Gr hpan cna1-
ed. 1t is estimated that 10 per cent of
what is now seeded will yield 80 bush
els per acre, a total of 100000
bushels.
Prospects Best In 5 Years
Spring seeding has just started at
virden. Although the acreage there
will not be as great as last year on &C.
count of limited funds available. pros
poets at this time are the best they
have been in five years.
At Ethridge one-fourth of the usual
acreage will be planted If farmers can
get the seed. There is ne winter wheat
there and little spring seeding has been
done on account of the moisture.
On account of the late spring only
about 10 per cent of wheat seeding has
been done at Cut Bank. There is
enough moisture in the ground there
now. it was reported, to insure an
excellent start for the grain. Pros
poets for a good year are very favor
able.
To Seed 80 Per Cent Crop
At Galata so per cent of the usual
crop will probably be put in according
to report, shortage of seed will pre-
vent farmers from planting more.
Only a small acreage has been seeded
thus far on account Of wet weather.
About 10 per cent OF the usual
spring work has been completed at
L.othair. II is estimated that the yield
there will be about one-half of the
1918 yield, providing conditions remain
as favorable as they are at the pres
emit time.

Special 10 lne IrlDuue.
Havre, May Crop conditions in
northern Montana are more favorable
this spring than they have been for
many years. according to official re-
ports received here from a number
of points in this territory. The acre
age which may be sown depends large
ly upon the number of seed grain loans
granted, for which farmers have APP
piled from the federal government.
Winter wheat and rye are IN good
condition. and spring seeding is be-
coming general, although delayed on
account of weather conditions. From
present indications there are 10000
of winter wheat seeded in Hill county
alone. 1t is estimated that there will
be at least 10000 acres of spring
wheat and 10000 bushels of oats and
other small grains.

Practically all wheat planted by
farmers in this vicinity is of the Mar
quis variety. Corn acreage will be
increased 10 per cent and the increase
In crop on summer-fallowed land will
probably be 20 per cent, authorities
estimate. There have been no indica-
tons of cut worms yet, due to the wet,
cold spring.
At Kremlin it was estimated that
farmers in that vicinity had 20 per
cent of their seeding done and about
40 per cent of the spring blowing.
Crop conditions are good there, and
it was stated that they Indicate a

Clifford Prospects Good
Prospects for the season are good
at Clifford, according to report.
There has been some blowing done in
that community, but no seeding, N ac-
count of the great amount of moisture,
However, an acreage of from 10000
to 10000 will probably be planted.
There is little winter grain.
Little spring work has been done
at bingham thus far. on account of
weather conditions. There have pos
sibly been 300 or 400 acres of spring
wheat seeded. Much of the winter
wheat was killed. Some of the VIM
ter rye is looking good. 1t is esti-
mated the acreage planted this year
will be from 40 to 60 per cent of last
years. of which possibly Is per cent
will be in corn.
Total Acreage Small
Winter grain is coming up at Rud-
yard and looking well, but the acre
age in that community amounts to
about 1000 acres. Thus far this spring
about 10000 acres have been plowed
and are ready for seeding. Acreage
will be small on account Of lack of
funds. Total acreage will be about
80 per cent of last years and will
probably not exceed $4,000 or 10000.
At Inverness crop conditions are
very good. From 1900 to 1000 acres
of winter wheat and rye are doing
well. About 5000 acres of spring
