MEN IN SERVICE
MAY BE ELECTED
NO DIFFERENCE WHETHER
HE is OUT OF STATE,
SAYS BOTTOMLY

Attorney General r. v. Bottomly has
ruled that person elected to public
office IN Montana at the November
election, even though he be absent
from the state In military service
would not forfeit his right to that Of
flee and could take over its duties If
he returned within the term for which
he was elected.
In a ruling for Homer A. Hoover.
McCone county attorney, Bottomly al
SO held that, If elected while absent
on military service, the successful can
didate could take the oath Of office
before any official outside the state
qualified to administer oaths and that
the 1914 legislature specifically had
preserved for public officials the Of
fices TO which they were elected before
they entered the armed services.
The attorney general held that it
was the duty OF those having the ap-
pointing power-county commissioners,
for instance-to appoint someone to
handle the duties of the absent Off
cial for the remainder Of his term or
until he returned and asked to be re-
instated.
The question arose, Hoover wrote
Bottomly. when the McCone county
coroner was indicted into military
service. The coroner, Hoover said, was
unopposed for election In November
and automatically would be elected to
another term. He had informed the
county commissioners, the county at
,orney said, that he intended to claim |
ais office upon his return from mill |
airy service.
Chapter Al. laws of 1884," Bot
only replied, provides for the re-
nstatement Of elected officials who
lave been indicted into the land or
laval forces Of the United States and
Vho, in order to perform training or
.ctive duty, leave position or Of
ice
when county or state elected of
icial is indicted and notifies the
roper officials Of this fact, the Of
icial having the appointing power
aust appoint some suitable person to
III the office during. the officials alb
ence and until his return and demand
Or reinstatement, not, however, be-
ond the term for which he was
lected
Il find no statute which would pro-
ibit one from being elected to public
ffice while absent from the state in
Military service"

State May Have to Dehydrate
Fruit, Vegetables for Winter

I The state may be forced to de-
hydrate winter supplies Of fruits and
vegetables for its institutions II pre-
sent regulations on commercial sup
plies continue, purchasing agent J. Il.
Henry said.
He explained that the armed forces
had taken over the great part Of com
mercially produced dehydrated fruits
ana vegetables, leaving private and
public institutions and agencies to
Iino substitutes or to arrange other
sources Of supplies
Henry said he was examining the
possibilities Of contracting with farm
ers to provide raw vegetables and
fruits and Of having them dehydrated
under processes developed at the state
college in Bozeman.
We are unable to get any supplies
OF certain fruits and vegetables at any
price" he said, land only limited
amounts Of others. This means the
state may be forced to arrange to de-
hydrate its own stocks Of these items
Tor winter use in the state custodiaI
ana other institutions. However, If we
DO have to make these arrangements,
It probably viii be through contracting
with farmers to furnish the raw ma
terials and building a dehydrating
plant. I understand the state college
has done considerable experimenting
in dehydrating native fruits and vege-
tables and am asking for complete
information on the methods and costs
involved"
Henry said q letter received from
the war production board in Washing
ton informed him that the armed
forces had taken over the entire sup
plies OF dried apples, apricots, peaches
and pears, all Of the golden bieached
raisin supply, IS percent Of the Thomp-
son seedless raisin supply and 80 per-
cent Of various sizes and types Of
prunes. This, he pointed out, left none
Or little for civilian consumption.
Canned goods, he added, are difficult
70 obtain IN sizes convenient for use in
Institutions and some varieties cannot
De obtained at all Henry said the state
Ilready had been forced to substitute
Tried corn for canned corn ordinarily
lSed in the institutions and was look
ng for substitutes for other currently
mobtainable varieties.
Through stroke of luck, he said,
lis department was able to obtain suf-
icient canned peas for the institutions

nough for canned tomatoes to tide
hem over until spring. The peas, he
aid, were canned at Bozeman for the

Place Soon Provided
For Those Var Bonds

If you've got so many war bonds
that you don't know where to keep
them all, don't worry-a solution Is
enroute.
The American Bankers association
says the nations banks are working
ON a plan for depositing the bonds
In vaults-for as little as 50 a year.
In fact maybe 81 a year, or even
so cents, if enough customers show
interest.
Under the plan, bonds win be sealed
In envelopes, registered and stored in
general bank vaults instead Of indi-
vidual safe deposit boxes. They will be
covered by bank fire and theft in
gurance and by the war insurance
corporation aid raid and military
damage clauses.
