WASHINGTON. = There are about
leo diplomatic officers and about
500 consular officers in the prores,
sional foreign service of the United
States That does not include our
ministers and ambassadors.
The present internal dissension in
the state department is due to the
contention of the consular officers
that although they are all classed
equally in the various grades by
plums are being dealt out to diplo-
matte officers on the basis of social
position and wealth, whereas con-
sular officers are neglected and
robbed of decent prospects for re-
tirement in spite of an average
greater maturity, ability and expert
ence
Nine Classes
The 700 foreign service officers
are divided into nine classes and
those of Glass I, including consuls
general and counselors of embassy,
draw $4,000 a year. Glass II includes
consuls general and counselors of
legation at $4,000. Glass III at $1,000
include consuls general, consuls and
first secretaries. Glass w includes
consuls' and first secretaries at $4,000
and SO on down the line through
the consuls, second secretaries, third
secretaries and vice consuls to the
unclassified officers who are paid

VALLEY BUILDS
EXTENSION TO
COURT HOUSE
Commissioners Call for Bids; Ap-
point Live Stock Inspectors.

Glasgow, June 11-Valley county
commissioners have issued a call for
bids for an extension to the west
wing of the county court house to be
two stories high and provide addi-
tional room for the offices of the
county treasurer and clerk of court,
both of which have been crowded for
several years. The new structure will
also provide additional vault room for
the office of clerk and recorder.
Bids will be received and plans and
specifications which are now being
prepared by Kent & Dallaven, local
contractors, will be available at the
office of County Clerk and Recorder
Frank J. MOrsen, June 18. The new
addition will be of fire proof con-
struction.
The Commissioners also appointed
county live stock inspectors which are
provided for in a law passed by the
last Legislature. Under this new law
hides Of slaughtered animals must be
inspected and marked in three differ
ent places. This is designed to pre-
vent use of hides again in selling il
legally butchered stock. The follow
ing inspectors were appointed: OPP
helm, John Lee; Glasgow, w. A.
Baynham; Nashua, Alfred Nikin; Os-
wegO, Henry Holstad; Frazer, Sam
HOltberg.
The contract for the county print
ing was awarded the Glasgow Courier
for two years.

show that yield per acre is of far
greater Importance in determining
the amount of wheat produced than
the relatively small fluctuations in
acreage.
Since 1915, year to year variations
in wheat acreage have occurred rang
ing from 10 per cent less to 20 per
cent more than the preceding year.
Production changes have shown a far
greater Tange. The crop of 1920 was
400 per cent greater than the crop Of
1919, and the crop of 1919 was 70
per cent less than the crop of 1918.
The 1925 crop was 40 per cent less
than the crop of 1924, and that of
1926 was 25 per cent greater than
that of 1925. In 1922, in spite of a
5 per cent decrease in total wheat
acreage as compared with the preced-
ing year, the total crop was 10 per
cent. greater. In 1925 there was a 3
per cent increase in acreage and a 40
per cent reduction in production as
compared with 1924.
If Montana's spring wheat acreage
is reduced 10 per cent from original
intentions, total wheat acreage this
year will be approximately 3,342,OOO
acres as compared with 3,595,OOO
acres last year. An increase in per
acre yield of little more than a half
bushel per acre will make up this
difference. With all of the adverse
condition that farmers have had to
contend with the wheat acreage this
year is still likely to be greater than
in 1924, when nearly 100000 bush
els were harvested, the second largest
crop in the history of the state
