TELLS OF VALUE
OF ATHLETICS

Francis Sprinkle, Hardin high
school coach, was the speaker at
the Wednesday luncheon meet
ing of the Hardin Kiwanis club.
Mr.. Sprinkle discussed ath-
letics as builders of men, and
stressed how the keenness of
mind and soundness of body
developed by sports have contri-
buted to the greatness of the
nations armed forces.
Field generals In yesterdays
athletic contests are today using
their abilities to direct the
greatest of all games, that of
war, he said.
Recognition of the benefit OF
athletics as morale builders Is
evidenced by the efforts of all
branches of the armed services
to provide opportunities for indi-
vidual participation in sports, he
added. The keen interest shown
by the men has prompted the
use of liberal radio time and the
transportation of papers and
magazines on sports in an eff
fort to get the desired informa-
ton to fighting men all over
the world. Those who have re-
turned from far flung battle.
fronts report that interest in
sporting events Is as keen as if
the men were at home, he con-
tinued,

Make Change In
Shoe Rdtioning

The life of shoe ration stamp
IS has been prolonged indefin-
itely, making it overlap the next
shoe stamp, No. 8 on the "air-
plane" sheet in War ration
book three, which becomes val
id Nov. l, it has been announc-
ed.
No definite ration period has
been set for this new shoe
stamp. Current supply figures
indicate that the stamp to fol-
low cannot be made valid be-
fore May /, 1914. Definite an
ouncement will be made later on
the basis of further Information
on production, consumer pur-
chases and dealers inventories,
including date from the shoe in
ventory required of all dealers
as of Sept 30. end of the first
six-months rationed period.
This does rot mean, it was
stated, that the civilian ration
has been set at two pairs a year.
Shoe stamp periods are not fix
ed on a yearly quota basis. Pol
icy has been to make each
stamps validity period as short
as available supplies and new
production warrant.

Frost Hurts Bean,
Alfdlfd Seed Crops

A large percentage of black
seed in beans and alfalfa seed
was caused by early frosts in
Big Horn county and other af-
fetced areas, according to the
weekly report of the Bureau of
Agri "ultural Economics.
Early frosts also resulted in
much soft corn in the more
northern counties of eastern
Montana. but a relatively large
yield is expected.
Conditio IS for harvest of late
crops are more favorable to date
than at this time last year. The
potato harvest is at its peak
and the sugar beet harvest is
just beginning. Labor for potato
harvest is short il a number of
localities, but school children,
men and women from town
are active in helping with this
work. Additional sugar beet wor-
kers will be needed when the
peak load is reached during the
next few weeks.
Excellent progress was made in
comb ing in northeastern Mon
tana and other late localities
and threshing of shocked grain
was general. Combining of small
grains is virtually complete ex-
cept for relatively small acre
ages in northeastern Montana
and in the mountain valleys and
benches.
Much flax remains to be har-
vested. Heavy weed growth in
the northeastern counties makes
this operation difficult in many
fields.
Seeding of winter wheat is
we'll along. Moisture conditions
are such that much of the grain
will not sprout until additional
moisture is received.

2,7OO AMERICANS
in GERMAN CANT
Majority Taken in Africa /;
Sporting Equipment
Supplied Them

The largest camp for Omitted
States Prisoners of War In Germany
has been established at Stalag 3B,
southeast of Berlin. It is an enlist
ed mems camp housing about 2,700
American soldiers, most of them
captured during the North African
campaign. This information was an
nounced today by Oliver v. Ober
State Campaign Chairman of the
Connecticut War Fund, on the basis
of reports received from War Pris-
oners Aid, Y. M. C. A., a member
agency of the National War Fund.
The Community and War Chest
of Waterbury, is an affiliate Of the
Connecticut War Fund and the Ma
tional War Fund and will conduct
combined campaign to raise its
share of the national goal in Oc-
tober.
War Prisoners Aid, working
through such neutrals as Sweden
| and Switzerland, has been able to
supply sporting equipment, musical
instruments and educational, handi-
craft material to war prisoners to
help counteract the enervating ef-.
fects of life behind barbed wire.
A request for 20 complete cricket
outfits would indicate that Johnny
Doughboy has taken some of the
British Tommy's enthusiasm for the
game.
War Prisoners Aid has been allot-
ed $2,320,0O0 OF the National War
Fund quota to carry out its work
during the coming year.

The Governor

The State of Connecticut today
acquired an executive mansion for
its governor who, during the past
304 years have had to provide their
own living quarters while admins
tering the affairs of the state.
The five-acre estate of the late
DR.. George c. F. Williams on Pros
pect avenue, originally costing more
than 100000, was bought for $780,
500 after the State Finance Advisory
Committee inspected the property
late yesterday and closed the deal
Only one member of the commit
tee objected to the purchase - Rep
resentative Raymond S. Thatcher,
East Hampton Democrat, who de-
clared the mansion would be raised
as campaign issue by his party in
1914.
The state already has appropri-
ated $4,000 for furnishings and re-
pairs to the huge 18-room rouse and
grounds, and estimates that another
$4,000 will be spent on improve
ments after the war.
Alterations are to be rushed so
that Governor Raymond E. Baldwin
and his family can move in by Oc-
tober l.
The house contains nine bed
rooms, a reception hail. dining room
