Prime Minister Nuri es Sadi of

blow struck to Axis "pretenses in
the Mediterranean" by the American

In a message to the President

the IraQ soldier statesman described
the African campaign as threat
to the weakest link in the Axis
chain" and asserted that when Al
lied forces occupy Tunisia Italy
will have to be heavily reinforced
by Germany if the death throes of
the Axis are to be postponed"
The White House described the
prime minister as devout Moslem
and distinguished Arab soldier
statesman as we'll as an outstand-
ing parsonage in the Islamic world
who was intimately associated with
Lawrence of Arabia in "the battles
for Arab freedom in the last World

ADDED ACREAGE
IS NOT ADVISED
FARMERS URGED TO PAY DEBTS
RATHER THAN PURCHASE
MORE LAND

By staying out of the land market
if values rise IN their own localities,
Montana farmers can contribute much
to the control Of initiation, the main
tenance of sound credit policies, and
to longtime stability of farm oper-
alton, says H. E. Bolster, extension
land economist at Montana State COL
lege.
During periods of high farm income
such as the present there is a tendency
to put increased income into land with
the result that values are bid up eX-
cessively, Bolster explains. Because
this artificial value of the land is not
based on longtime productive ca
pacity the resulting increase in fixed
charges such as interest and taxes can
cause hardship and possibly loss of
the land during periods of low farm
income.
Right now, he said, Montana farm
ers and ranchers are in a particularly
favorable position for successful op-
Grafton during the years Immediately
ahead. This is due largely to COM
bination of favorable crop years and
rising prices coupled with the fact
that Montana land values have leveled
off on a basis of longtime production
capacity. Land values in the state now
average less than two-thirds of their
19l2-19l4 average, he said.
Farmers individually can help to
maintain this stabilized condition, he
said, by using extra income to pay
off debts and to purchase war bonds.

now embraced by Prairie county was
flrst visited by white men the first
actual settler began small scale farm
ing operations near the present site
OF Terry. The early visitors were mem
befS of the Lewis and Clark expedi-
ton. under Captain Clark, who passed
through in July, 1906, on the way to
Join Lewis at the mouth of the yell
lowstone river.
This first settler was j. w. Mon
tague, who located on the Yellowstone
in 1877 and raised hay which found
ready sale to freighters between
Miles City and Bismarck, N. D.
Except for Montague and the &C.
casional freighter, Prairie remained
practically as Clark found it until 1881,
when the westward march of the
Northern Pacific railroad brought an
influx of homeseekers who established
themselves along the Yellowstone and
streams tributary to transform the
great pasture north and south of the
river into noted stockraising district
Terry, named for Gen. Alfred H.
Terry, and located May 7, 1888, at the
only crossing of the river between
Glendive and Miles City, became and
remained for number of years the
largest stock shipping point in the
northwest.
Among early business enterprises in
the town were Flanagan's boarding
house, Cole and Kelly's restaurant
Sam Hilburn's store and two saloons
B. A. Bowen was postmaster, justice
Of the peace and agent for the North

The homestead era began in 1905
and most of the public land had been
taken up by 1912 Stockgrowing con-
t1nued to dominate industrially, but
