The Montana highway depart

dozen roadside museums in the
state this year, r. H. Fletcher, Hell
ena, plans and traffic engineer for
the department, announced re-
Gently. Fletcher toured the state
presenting plans for building the
museums to commercial bodies and
met favorable reaction, he said.
Under the plan, the highway COM
mission would be the sponsor of a
chain of such museums, to be built
as WPA projects. The department
would furnish the materials and the
WPA labor.
The object of the museums"
Fletcher said, lis to provide convenient
way stations, to collaborate with our
port of entry stations in informing
visitors concerning Montana points OF
interest. The museums are to act as
show windows, to induce tourists to
take side trips and thus prolong their
stay. This will not only benefit the
highway department through greater
gasoline sales, but be of decided ad-
vantage to Montana communities and
Montana people.

States Liquor Monopoly
Nets Millions i'm Profit

Montanas state liquor monopoly has
returned more than $1,000, 900 in net
profit to the state since Jan. /, 1887
according to the annual report Of Ad-
miniStrator L. NJ. A. WaSS to Gov Roy
E. Ayers for the year, 1899.
The exact figures for the years 1887,
1888 and 1889, taken from the admin
istrator's report. follow:
1873, So, 53241
1885 2,7O2, 1900.
1899 2,78O,97114
Totals, OBS, $685.
The profits accrued not only from
the sale of liquor and beer, but from
sale OF liquor permits and licenses,
liquor excise tax and beer licenses and
taxes.
These profits have been distributed
among various state funds, more than
half going to the state general fund
The relief fund received S179,60513
Water conservation and the water con-
servation revolving fund got S738, 900,
and the teachers pension fund received
STAT, 1925. The temperance commits
sion fund was given a flat $4,000.
The report shows drop of more
than a million dollars in net liquor
sales between 1887 and 1889, and a
corresponding reduction in operating
expense. The expense of operating the
state stores was S536,33473 in 1887.
This was reduced to S491 ,937.59 in 1889
Central office expense was 1921, 45046
in 1887, and this was cut to Sl5O.l39.22
in 1899. This reduction of expense was
achieved concurrently with a drop in
total revenue, hence the steady in
crease in profit has been obviously due
to managerial economies and efficiency
Of the administrator. Gallonage con-
sumption has increased but the con-
slant lowering of prices on all brands
has been responsible for the drop in
total net sales.
The portion of the report devoted
to total sales of the state liquor stores
offers some interesting comparisons.
Here are the figures for 10 of the
states largest cities:

what is happening 10 the Europ-
can money situation and to the
Rothschilds as this column is
about famine.
There may be severe food
shortage in the winter OF 1914
1912 If the British blockade is
then in effect. This may resolve
itself into a famine OF vitamins
through the loss OF fruits. leafy
vegetables, and dairy products.
This would develop scurvey. eye
diseases, and lung infections
among the weaker people. But the
winter of l94l-1942 is long way
ahead. Besides the Germans are
making tests feeding people on
common grass very rich in vita
mins-which may have revolu-
tionary results.
How VIII the War End?
Whatever food statistics show,
let us remember that, in the end,
the war will be decided by feelings
rather than by figures. Whatever
our nationality. we have spiritual
obligations TO all nations. In the
sight of God, We are still brothers
whether Americans, Germans,
English, Italians. err japanese.
Therefore, let us consider the fol-
lowing:
/ II may take one or more years,
but Germany can continue to drop
bombs until England is laid waste.
2. 1t may take one or more years,
but Great Britain can continue TO
blockade Europe until millions
die from famine.

helping hand to those stricken
peoples? Shall-it be Christian Am

IL be Democracy or Communism
The time for such profound help
has not yet come. Conditions are
not yet bad enough; but they can
be bad enough some time, perhaps
by 1912.

Babson Sees no Food Lack
in Europe During Winter

Whitefield. y. H.. Oct. IS So
much loose talk exists as TO the
great famine from which Europe
will suffer this winter" readers
will be interested in the facts:
Outlook for This Winter
There is no famine or serious
food shortage at present in Ger
many, Holland, Denmark. or I'M
occupied France. BY serious food
shortage, | mean 10 the extent
that people actually suffer hunger.
There are transportation difficult
ties and, most important. there
is control. Control can have the
same effect On the minds of con-
sumers as SHORTAGES. but the back
ground Is the difference hetYeen
a controlled store OF food and an
actual lack. All food supplies IN
Europe are rigidly controlled.
Means Of control are food cards
or what we would call coupons.
Everyone must have them. II one
Is fond of meat. he will find his
allotment SMALL but cheese and
maehrungsmittel "a catch-all
nourishment seem to suffice
or course. in an American sense
one does not get square" meal,
but one can always complain about
the food anywhere. With our
meals, there is a terrific waste
which the Germans are cutting
out.
The basic plan of the Germans
Is simple: Namely, to take inven-
tory OF all food stocks available
In the Reich and to determine the
allotment per person. They are ex-
tending this same method 10 re-
gions under their control. 1t will
be hard on the Dutch as their
food standard was very high. The
whole war could be expressed in
food inequalities. and the urge to
find the common denomination in
Europe. A bit over simplified, but

you see the point. Under this sys-
tenn there should be no famine in
Europe this coming winter.
What il "Hilfszugzaycrn?"
Hilfszugbayern is type OF train
which the Germans have devised
to run from place TO place to help
feed the people. One of these
trains can handle over 100 cattle
per day. The cattle are butchered
at one end. processed as they pass
through, and come out as good
cuts, sausages, and goulash at the
other end. Distribution is furth-
cred by vacuum trucks which de-
liver hot food 100 miles away
from central sources. The same
principle is used in operating
bake-shops and small cf0rhfng fac-
tories on trucks. However much

feet OF taking an inventory of all

stiles and dividing them equitably
not necessarily equally-among

Money ". Men
There is a curious development
from this control experience.
Money loses its value. The rich can
get no more food than the poor.
The well-to-do are as limited as
the less-well-off when all are on
food cards. This effect. namely,
the discovery that money does not
bring power, is having very
great influence in Europe. Hence,
the cry against Plutocrats or
Plutokraten. There also is sec
ond discovery in the Reich, name
ly, that to build an army and to
reshape a nation under Fascism.
