GENEVA, November 1.-THE League
Of Nations secretariat today held al
firmative replies of IA nations to the
proposal for a years ornaments truce,
but wondered, nevertheless, whether the
agreement is in force or not.
Yesterday was the date for the be-
ginning of the truce. which was orig
inally proposed by Italy, Great Britain,
Germany and France. None Of these
four nations has yet officially reported
its attitude.
On the other hand, acceptances Of
the proposal are on file from the United
States, Russia, Japan and IL others, but
all are conditioned on the participation
of other states and some have other
exceptions
officials of the League said they were
unable to define the status of the holi-
day and that there is no precedent for
procedure in such state of affairs. In
some quarters 1t was suggested that a
conference of diplomatic representa-
tives may be called to discuss the pro-
visos of each nation and to try to har-
monte them.

EAT WHEAT

They don't raise much wheat
out in Arizona. But they evident
ly know how to use 1t. Comes the
following from the Desert:
Get from your grocer Gin bulk
good fat grains Of wheat; five
pounds at first, but you'll want
more soon.
Wash it,
Soak it, (hot water hastens)
Cook It,-weli
Salt it.
And you have the best cereal
ever served on a breakfast table.
Little drops Of water,
Little grains of WHEAT,
You wash and soak and boil
them,
And then with cream you eat.
o, yes, you've got to chew them!
You chew and chew and chew!
Ha! Ha! says doctor Merryface,
Eve begged them that to do"
And thus our crushing surplus
Disposed, mans needs to meet;
With little drops Of water,
And little grains of wheat.

HAY
FROM NORTH OAK.

Dakota hay should be ordered
through the buying committee ap-
pointed by the state of North Da-
kota, says c. C. Conser Of Boze-
man who has given this subject
considerable attention. Mr.. Conser
recently made an investigational
trip through the northeastern part
of Montana to determine needs
and also visited North Dakota to
get first hand information on the
hay situation in that state. He
found the Dakota committee will
ing to cooperate in every way to
provide Montana farmers with hay
at a minimum expense.
Prospective purchasers are urg-
ed to order hay through C. F.
Monroe at Fargo, specifying grade
and kind of hay desired. Hay will
be delivered according to grade
and prices will be in line with
those paid at principal markets.
Mr.. Conser points out that this
system will stabilize prices and
will be a guarantee that hay will
be delivered by grade.
After looking the situation Owe
thoroughly Mr.. Cosner finds that
but little hay will be shipped to
northeastern Montana until near
the first of the year. In most Sec
lions the supply of grain and this
tie hay with fair supplies of corn
and cane will be ample to carry
livestock through the first half
of the winter in excellent condi-
ton.
