More than S88 1000 Worth Sold
in First Half of This
Month.

Valley county more than doubled
its May war bond quota during the
first Is days of the month.
This was the information received
this week by j. P. Sternhagen, vice
chairman in charge of county sales,
from William H. BARLEY, state adj
ministrator.
The county's quota for the month
was $40, 900. Up to May Is, pur-
chases of E bonds only in the
county totalled $88,121.
Mr.. Sternhagen said the total was
particularly p~raiseworthy, in view
of the April second war loan cam
paign, which was oversubscribed in
Valley county by 148 percent.
He said that Valley county res
idents and banks o have pur-
chased more than 81, 90 5000 in

Only Nondeferrable
Fathers Subject To
Draft Call at Once

Clearing up confusion that exists
concerning the order, Lieut.. Col
S. H. Mitchell who was here Fri
day, said that the new order re-
ceived to draft fathers refers only TO
those fathers who are in nondefer-
rable occupations.
Colonel Mitchell referred to a la
tional war manpower commission
order issued some time ago which
listed a number of nonessential oc-
equations. He said the draft order
refers only to fathers in such oc-
equations.
The order for draft of such men
came from national selective serv-
ice headquarters. No order to draft
other fathers has been received,
Colonel Mitchell said.

Survant Recalls
Coming to County
With Herd in '92

It was just So years ago last Aug
ust that a young man from Texas
reached the banks of the Missouri
near Fort Peck with a trail herd
he had successfully brought across
the full length of the great plains.
That man, now the dean of nor
thern Montana stockmen, recalled
the incident when he spoke at a
banquet meeting of Phillips and
Valley county ranchers here Satur-
day night. He is John Survant.
Except for a few years spent in
South America, he has always made
his home in northern Montana
since that time. He was an early
day foreman for some of the larg-
est ranchers operating in this area.
For many years he operated on an
extensive scale in the two counties
and still has ranch interests.

Afternoon Program, Banquet in
Evening Highlights of
Gathering.

A warning that Phillips and Val
ley county range lands are APP
preaching dangerously close to their
capacity and criticism of the gov
eminent ranch labor employment
program were among highlights at
the third annual meeting of stock
men from the two counties held in
Glasgow Saturday.
Neil D. Campbell, secretary of the
North Valley and Badlands graz
ing district presided at the after
noon business session in the court
house, while Charles E. jarrett, ag-
ricultural development agent for
the Great Northern, vas toastmas-
ter for the evening banquet in st,
Raphael'S clubhouse.
Mr.. Campbell, County Agent
James K. McGibney and w. A.

mentS.
Gives Capacity Figures
THE Livestock outlook for Phil
lips and Valley Counties was dis
cussed by C. H. Brocksmith, vice
president of the Farmers = Stock
growers bank. He presented figures
showing that Valley county has a
grazing capacity for 52,385 animal
units, but that the capacity is now
being utilized by $1,000 animal units
49, 400 cattle, $500 horses and 3d.
300 sheep.
The situation is not quite so SER
ious in Phillips county, where S.
400 animal units are utilizing a
range carrying capacity of 56,785
units. The animal units are COM
posed of 28,400 cattle, 1000 horses
and 1880 sheep.
Mr. Brocksmith said the alfalfa
winter kill in the cornbelt and the
late spring pointing to a possible
short crop may bring a lack of
feeder buyers this fall.
1T is a good time for stockmen
to look at their hole cards and
keep financing of their livestock
on a sound basis" he concluded.
Tells of Prices
Paul E%tchepare of Helena, secre-
tary of the Montana Wool Growers
association, discussed the wool and
lamb situation. Very few lambs have
been sold in Montana as yet, he
said. Between so and go percent of
the Montana wool clip has been
sold at from 40 to 4712 cents a
pound.
He said few complaints from the
sheep ranchers have been registered
on food rationing and added, Mon
tana is the most fortunate state
in the west in having a two-fiSted
OPA administrator" who has given
full consideration to ranchers'
needs.
Turning to the labor problem, he
declared, Help from government
agencies is inadequate. The farm
security administrations part in
labor importation has been any
thing but helpful" After giving as
surances of outside labor, he said,
the FSA then presented stockmen
with a labor contract that would
be impossible for them to fulfill.
NO Sunday Landing"
Among provisions were that ranch
labor was not to work on Sunday.

we can stop Landing on Saturday
night and then resume it Monday
morning?" Mr.. Etchepare asked.

Son Vinidcated,
Declares Actress

NEW LONDON, Conn, Nov. 19
CUP)-Actress Constance Bennett
today regarded the sl50,0O0 settle
ment she won for her 14-year-old
son from the estate of her wealthy
second husband as Vindication of
her fight to save the boy from stig-
matism as an adopted child.
Defeated in a lower court action
to establish Peter Bennett Plant
as a beneficiary of playboy Philip
Plant, Miss Bennett appealed and
won an out-of-court settlement an
nounced yesterday by Superior
Court Judge James E. Murphy.
The outcome vindicates the posi-
ton I took when the appeal was
filed for my son." the actress said.
He was brought into the pro-
ceedings involuntarily," she added.
Il said then that I would not
stand for anything which would
stigmatize M child as adopted"
Counsel for Plants estate, valued
at S550000, had contended that
Peter was not the son of Plant,
but was an adopted child, and Mrs.
William Hayward of New York
Plants mother and his chief ben
eficiary, maintained that he was
the son of a London nurse.

While he and his wife were away

idea, saying that much more was

velopment of equipment in city
parks.

New Ceilings on
Fertilizer Set

After countrywide consultations
with fertilizer manufacturers, the
Office of Price Administration an
nounced new dollars and cents CELL
ing prices have been set for every
grade of mixed fertilizer, superphos-
phate and potash, Imperial Valley
farmers learned Saturday.
This action, according to Stewart
o. Wicklin, price executive for the
San Diego district of the OPA, will
wipe out inequalities between var
ious grades and various sellers of
fertilizers. Previously, fertilizer pric-
es had been frozen at the individual
sellers own price for the base pc
riod.
Actual price changes are minor
and ceilings will be maintained at
about the same level as of February,
1912. The new regulation will, how
ever, simplify the pricing of fertil-
izer and it will no longer be neces-
sary for manufacturers to apply to
the OPA for special prices on each
new fertilizer mixture they produce,
since the consumer price of each
will be established. Trade discounts
remain those which the industry
has always observed in various sales
areas
Manufacturers are given latitude
in selecting any date between Nov
% and Jan. to put the new regu-
lation into operation. This is gen.
orally accepted to be near the end
of fall season and a month before
commencement of the spring SELL
ing season, explained Wicklin.
