E. j. Kjelstrup presided, with F..

Guests were Henry P. Vogt, Red
Cross officer for Great Falls and

Black of the Glasgow base.
One phase of the army's educa-
tional program has to do with
training of specialists, Lieutenant
Calkins said. In the air corps, 63
percent of the men must be spe-
cialists. The army has been greatly
aided by the schools and has found
a much higher educational level
among men than in the last war, he
said.
Soldiers must be educated on
their jobs and must be informed on
why they are fighting" he added.
They are given orientation courses
so they may have confidence in
their leaders, their weapons and
their allies.
Four methods of instruction used

are available, he said.
Special education is also given

Annual Triple-A
Elections Will Be
Held November Z

Countrywide elections of AAA COM
munity committeeman and dele
gates to the county convention for
the coming year will be held Tues
day, Nov. 2, announces County
Chairman Thomas A. Wagner.
This year, county and community
committeeman will take office as
soon as they are elected. In previ-
Gus years it has been customary
for the newly elected committeeman
to take office Jan. l of the year for
which they were elected. The change
was adopted in order that programs
for the coming year may be pre-
to farmers by the commit
teemen they have chosen to repre-
sent them for the coming year.
Every eligible farm man and
woman should exercise the privilege
and duty of going to the polls and
casting ballots for their local COM
mitteemen," Mr.. Wagner added.

HOG CEILING
MAY END ALL
PRODUCTION
Watson, in Letter to Governor,
Says Farmers in Area
Can't Afford 1t.
Present Fixed Price, Opposed to
Market Cost of Feed,
Is Difficulty.

Farmers in this section, and in
most sections of Montana, have
ceased their efforts" in hog produc-
ton and very few of them are
making plans for spring produc-
tion," Mark Watson, chairman of
the Valley County War council, de-
clared this week in a letter to Gov.
Sam c.. Ford, asking that he take
up the problem with government Of
ficials.
The prime reason for this situa-
ton, he said, is that the present
ceiling price on hogs allows pro-
duction only at a loss to the far
mer when barley, staple feed crop
of this area, is used in producing
pork. The hog price ceiling is geared
to the ceiling price on corn, but
little, if any, corn is available in
northeastern Montana.
Il have talked with many farmers
who have stated that they cannot
afford to raise hogs under the pres
ent ceiling and therefore are max
ing no plans for 1914 in the hog
industry, which is going to go by
default in Montana unless some
thing can be DONE" MI. Watson's
letter states.
Tells Difficulties
He outlines the farmers case in
this way: Barley is worth $1.16 to
SLIT per bushel on the Twin City
market. The price of hogs is frozen
at $14.55 on the same market, evil
IDENTIFY based on a frozen" corn
price of $1.03 a bushel.
This places the corn ceiling at
ST "a a hundred pounds, while the
barley price is $2.44 a hundred.
Feeding data shows barley has a
feeding value of about 80 percent
of corn. On that basis, barley should
be selling on the Twin City market
at $1.66 per hundred to balance it's
price with that of corn.
Barley does not cost the Mime
apolis ceiling here but, neither, be-
cause of the freight differential, can
local farmers get SASS per hundred
for pork.
Will Glut Market
W.. Watson says the inevitable re-
suit will be that heavy shipments
of barley will be made, dropping its
price, while at the same time, far
will unload" their hogs be-
cause they cannot make money at
he present cost of production.
I'VE cannot blame the farmer, for
We are told by the department of
agriculture that it takes 600 pounds
If barley, now worth $2.44 per hun
lred, or $14.64, to make 100 pounds
# pork, worth SASS" he adds.
Farmers are not going to work for
and then lose money on
he deal"
1T all goes back to the problem
adds, that you cannot set the
rice of one thing without setting
he price of all things. In other
rords, if we are to have a ceiling
n hogs, we must have a ceiling on
arley, wheat, oats and all other
1ings that go into raising hogs
You cannot sit at a table, wave
our hands and order a litter of
ogs. 1t takes preparation, which
annot be done in a week or a
lonth, for a hog crop in 1914. If
lie breeding stock is not saved, we
lay find ourselves in a condition
milar to Denmark"

M.E.A. CHIEF
D~anielson Succeeds Fellbaum

More than 300 Teachers from 5
Northeast Counties at
Sessions Here.

Supt. j. E. Danielson of Scobey
Saturday was elected president of
the northeastern district of the

the districts final convention ses-
sion came to a close here Satur-
day.
He succeeds E. H. Fellbaum, Plen-

A. state executive council succeeding
R. L. Irle of Glasgow. New vice
president is G. v. Erickson, Glas-

More than 300 teachers from five
counties attended the convention. 1t
closed Saturday afternoon with
guidance and home economic con-
ferences following a noon Greater
University luncheon at st. Ra-
phael's clubhouse at which Chan
cellor E. o. Melby was principal
speaker.
Chancellor Melby made a plea for
an "i~ntegrated" school system in
Montana. He said it is the special
responsibility of Montana's system
of higher education to train the
leadership necessary to develop the
resources of the State-and not al
low much of that leadership to
leave the state.
Montana ranks ninth among the
states in per pupil expenditure for
public education in elementary
1aIN11e nv Ada1hxy fold thn ndr1Nn-
tors. But it ranks among the low
est in the country in its support of
higher education. He declared the
disparity must be due to lack of in
formation on the part of the public.
He closed with a plea for "a uni
fled educational system that in
quality and dynamic spirit measures
up to the opportunity our state pre-
sents in the postwar world"
Miss Elizabeth Ireland, state SUI
perintendent of public instruction,
introduced DR.. Melby at the lun-
cheon, which was attended by more
than 100. Sam Gilluly presided.
Solos were sung by Leonard Bru-
nette of the Glasgow schools, ac-
companied by Mrs. Gordon Vallan-
digham. R. L. Irle, host superinten-
dent, expressed appreciation to the
many who had cooperated in max
ing the convention possible.
The convention opened Friday af-
ternoon. Throughout the same day,
a rural and elementary. grade in
stitute was conducted under Miss
Ireland'S direction and with super
visors from her department as
speakers.

Loan Application
Should Be Filed
Before Nov. 18th

To obtain the services of a wheat
loan inspector, it would be advis-
able to file applications for farm
stored wheat, barley and flax loans
early. preferably before Nov. Is,
states Thomas A. wagner, chairman
of the county AAA committee.
Filing of applications early is
urged because of the uncertainty of
weather and road conditions later in
the fall. Late inspections always
work a hardship on inspectors and
especially this year when it is so
difficult to obtain tires, he added.
Any applicants who file appllca-
tions later than Nov. 10 may find 1t
necessary to measure and sample
their own bins.
