Competitive Biddings
@. X. On State Needs

The state is not bound by laws
setting minimum prices at which
commodities may be sold, accord
ing to a ruling by Attorney General
Fl. j. Freebourn. The ruling was
handed down at the request of the
state milk control board, when the
problem of the state buying milk for
institutions arose The attorney
general held that the state pur-
chasing agent is required by law to
buy commodities from the lowest
bidder.
The opinion added that if the leg
islature had intended the state to be
governed by the milk control act,
it would have changed the law re-
curing the state to buy from low
bidders. The attorney general has
held similarly on the question OF
the state buying cars from dealers
selling below costs established un-
der the unfair trade practices act.

Montana To Try
New Road Surface

HELENA.-An armor coating
comparable to an additional sur
face will be placed on Montana
highways in the future instead oil
the sealing coat of penetrating oil
says an item in the Spokesman-Re
view.
Until now the department has
spread thin seepage oil on road
surfaces to seal up the mat and pre-
vent moisture damage
D. A. McKinnon, state highway
engineer, said today that study
showed it had a distinct disadvan-
tage in that the light oil surface on
top of the regular roadbed was in
clined to be slippery, especially dur
ing snowy or rainy weather.
A IS per cent heavy duty sealing
coat will replace the penetrating
layer and be reinforced by rock
chips. McKinnon said the armor coat
would provide at least a half inch
more wearing surface.

Urges All To
Join Red Cross
The White House, Washington

The White House, washington
November IL, 1889.
Each year, at this season, we glad
ly turn our thoughts and our hearts
toward the American Red Cross
that institution which interprets SO
well our instructive desire to extend
helping hand of compassion and
sympathy to those in distress. AS
our officially recognized national
voluntary relief agency, the Red
Cross through its democratic organ
ization and popular membership
serves us all in bringing relief to
those in need. A..
We are proud that our Red Cross
knows no creed, race or color; that
it respects no boundaries as it goes
forth on its never-e ending errands of
mercy, carrying prompt and prac-
teal aid to afflicted Humanity ev-
eryWhere. We know that we can
always rely upon it for speedy relief
in time of disaster, for combating
disease, for fighting to eliminate ac-
cident and death on the highway, in
the water, in industry and in the
home, and for training our youth
through the Junior Red Cross.
From the very outset of hostili-
ties, the Red Cross has been answer
ing urgent appeals for aid in Eu-
rope without neglecting or forget
ting its obligations of service here
at home. We know, However, that
as the war continues the suffering
will greatly increase and need for
assistance will multiply many times
So far the Red Cross is financing
its relief operations from voluntary
contributions and its own funds. To
give it additional strength for its
expanding work we must lend our
generous support both through CON
tributions and membership.
During the period from Armistice
Day to November 30, the American
Red Gross will ask every adult cit
izen of our nation for this support
through individual membership.
am confident the American people
will rally to the appeal.
strongly urge that everyone
who can possibly do so, join the
American Red Cross during its an.
nual membership Roll Call

DISEASE HITS BEAVER.

Tularemia has been found at
lacking beaver in three Montana
districts, and although losses appar
emily have been small, the state
fish and game department fears il
may seriously threaten the already
thinned out beaver colonies. Lab
oratory tests conducted by DR.. w
j. Butler, state veterinarian, have
proved that the malady has stricken
beaver in the Roundup, Harlow
town and Hardin areas. The disease
usually attacks rabbits and other
small fur bearing animals, but
horses and sheep have been known
to have the disease. Humans can
contract the deadly ailment by
handling affected animals.
