COURT REBUKES
ACCUSED YOUTHS

Following the filing in district
court by County Attorney E. A.
Peterson of informations charging
Lloyd Anderson, Floyd Cecil and
Ralph McMullin with burglary in
connection with the raid Tuesday
night, March 9, on the Nelson Story,
Jr., home, the defendants were ar
raigned, the cases continued indefi-
nitely, and the youths remanded to
Jail.
The three young men, and Anderson
in particular, did not seem to take
their appearance in court seriously
until the judge had reminded them,
in no uncertain terms, that they were
facing a charge of burglary in the
first degree and might be sent to the
penitentiary. This reprimand sober
ed them considerably. The court also
reviewed AndersOn's record during
the last few years and remarked that
his patience with him was nearly ex-
hausted. Cecil admitted having got
ten into trouble several months ago
while a student at Montana State col
lege, but ATcNullin declared this was
the first time he had been accused Of
misdoing.
In remanding the defendants to this
custody Of the sheriff, the court in
st1ncted that official 20 permit them
no undue liberties. It appears that
since their arrest, many girl and boy
friends Of about their own ace have
called, bringing cake, candy, and
reading matter and, in effect, giving
the accused youths the impression
I that they were heroes Of a sort.

$4,000 MONTANA WORLD WAR VETS
Can REINSTATE Their j. S. INSURANCE

HELENA.-With the final date for
reinstatement and conversion of gov
ernment life insurance a little less
than four months distant, veterans
throughout the country are respond
ing in such numbers that the Veter-
ans bureau is approving S1,25O,0OO
worth # insurance a day, General
Frank 7. Hines, director of the bu-
reau has announced.
While the campaign for reinstate-
ment and conversion now being waged
Is only about six weeks old, indica-
tions are that the volume of aprlica-
items will increase propOrtiOnately as
the final date draws nearer and the
bureau has made preparations for the
receipt and handling of a veritablo
avalanche Of applications.
G. T. Busha, Jr., manager Of the
regional office of the NUreau in Hell
ena, announces that his office is
answering on an average of 25 re-
quests a day for application blanks
and information relative to govern
ment life insurance. He estimates
that $4,000 world war veterans in the
state Of Montana are eligible and car
rcinstate their government insurance
IF each veteran entitled to this in
surance would reinstate in the amount
of $4,000 it would add S125,OOO,OOC
tc the potential wealth of this state
With the government paying all ad
ministration costs and assuming the
extra hazards of war, the premiums
represent only the actual cost of in
surance.
The regional office has set up
special service to handle all inquiries
and send out proper forms for re
instatement and conversion of war
time insurance, and urges that ever!
veteran take steps to avail himself o
his rights in the matter at once s,
that his application will be approves
before July 2, 1926, the last date fo
conversion and the terminating dat

GENERAL OUTLOOK FOR AGRICULTURE
GOOD, DECLARES OFFICIAL SUMMARY

HELENA.-The Montana state de-
partment Of agriculture, in co-Opera-
ton with the u. S. bureau of agri-
cultural economies, presents the fol-
lowing summary Of the general out
look for agriculture:
"Taken as a whole agriculture has
made some further progress toward
a normal stability. Much indebted
ness has been liquidated. The move
men5 of de-pOpulatiOn of farms has
dec Ey9d Increased sales of fertiliz-
crs. .jaoniaery and building material
rt.i-ste :nat The productive machinery
Of the f4f.. ing restored.
'Eotai -s. .sc1 cage has been
slightly ,lv74~s,lG, while population
has becA stezLlsy iug. Pro-
ductiOE IF crspi has ea. -. the
1919 Level. Marietiugs q r.
mails decreased matelsauy du
1925, marking the turn from the pes
of animal production reached in 1924
Curtailment a Benefit
Agricultural production in short
has been curtailed to point where it
is now in the best general condition
since 1920. An important feature Of
this readjustment has been the GEN
eral better balance reached in live
stock production. However, feed crop
production last year was so large that
in most cases prices were too low TO
be satisfactory.
Farm products taken together,
still are low priced compared with
the costs to farmers of industrial
, goods and services. Any general ex-
p pansiOn therefore at this time would
tend to place agriculture in a less
favorable position. The farm dollar
= during the past three months for all
agricultural products would buy 81
e cents worth Of all nOn-agricultural
products, comDared with a value of
e 81 cents which it had in 1921 and
100 cents during the five years pre-
: ceding the war which are taken as the
n basis of comparison.
:: Some Progress Made
0 "While improvement in agricultural
conditions during the past five year,
= has been slow, some progress has beer
, made which it would not be wise t,
y undo through any general expansion
of production at this time.
= Montana farmers should keep il
mind the general situation of agricul
!. ture at this time in making plans fol
= the coming season. While the Mon
- tana state department makes no rec
OmmendatiOn as to the plans of Mon
p, tana farmers during 1926, believing
- that farmers should themselves de
=, termine their plans, it does believ'
= that all possible information that viii
- aid farmers intelligently to cOnside
= their problems in light of the prob
y lens facing all other farmers, shoul,
J, be available to them.
!, "Other releases with reference
- important Montana crops will be is
= sued by the state department of ag
u riculture soon."

Billings-Casper Circuit

Included in the 1925 toll program
fer the state of Montana is provision
for a through Billings-C Casper circuit
which will be obtained by joining ex-
isting circuits at Sheridan, Wyoming.
The need for this direct long haul
circuit between Casper and Billings
makes it necessary to construct a
new copper circuit between Hardin,
Montana, and Sheridan, Wyoming, at
a cost of $4,000, so as to release the
existing circuits for long distance
calls from all points in Montana to
Wyoming and Colorado points. The
provision of this circuit will also
eliminate one switching point be-
tween Denver and Billings which
should help very materially from a
general service standpoint.
