sources of their cooperative, if nee
essary, to carry on fight to protect,

The emphasis was on teamwork
throughout the meeting. Secretary of
Agriculture Wickard told delegates
that 1.-THE history of your Grain Termi-
nal Association is an inspiring ex-
ample of what farmers can accom-
plish through their own efforts with
the assistance of their federal gov

1.-THE success of your cooperative

efforts of farm people banded to-
gether for their common benefit"

COTTON PIECE
GOODS TO COME
ON MARKET

Ten million yards of staple cotton
fabrics viii receive a distribution pri-
GRITTY during the first quarter of 1915,
Tom L. Lambert, regional manager,
Office of Civilian Requirements, WPB,
Minneapolis, announced today.
This action is expected to increase
the supply of piece goods in stores
serving small towns and rural areas.
Retailers and wholesalers, who buy
piece goods directly from mills or
conyerters, may apply to WPB for
priority aid in obtaining specified
types. Request for priority should be
made on WPB form SAT, the distribu-
tors application for preference rating.
The form may be obtained from the
nearest WPB field office, and must
be filed there not later than January
10, 1915.
Cotton piece goods for which dis
tributor priority may be requested
are: print cloth, broadcloth, lawn, out
ing flannel, bingham and seersucker.
Because of the very limited supply
of these goods, priority aid will be
granted only to distributors who serve
communities that are experiencing ex-
IRENE shortage, said Mr. Lambert.

VETERANS SHOULD
CONSULT THEIR
AeR. Committee

An appeal to discharged servicemen
to consult their county agricultural
advisory committee before buying
farms with their savings, was made
yesterday by I. w. Duggan, governor
of the Farm Credit administration
Mr. Duggan said returning veterans
with a desire to farm, but with little
knowledge of land values, may con-
tribute unwittingly to their future
bankruptcy unless they avail them
selves of the services of the county
agricultural committee"
The FCA governor cited the case of
a wounded veteran who paid his life
savings of $4,000 as the initial pay
ment on farm for $4,000, and later
learned the current sale value of the
same property was $4,000
''He paid so per cent above todays
market value" Mr.. Duggan said.
He pointed out more dangerous
aspect of the transaction is that the
normal productive value of the farm
judged on it's ability to afford the
owner living and pay taxes and in
debtedness, was only $4,000. He added
that the chances are that if the vet
eran had sought the advice of the
county agricultural advisory commit
tee, he would not have paid price
in excess of the agricultural value of
the farm.
So far in the present war, Mr.. Dug
gan said, the percentage of rise in
land prices is about equal to the COM
parative period of the last war. Most
of the 2 million farm foreclosures of
the last twenty-five years stemmed
from Indebtedness incurred to buy
land in and following World War I.
Those who pay inflated prices are
counting disaster" the FCA governor
added.
"That is the primary reason for set
ting up the agricultural advisory COM
mittee in each county to help the re-
turning servicemen determine the
earning capacity of the farm he wishes
to buy"

NO. MONTANA
COLLEGE READY
FOR VETERANS

Northern Montana College has com
pleted preparations for the education
of returning veterans from all
branches of the service under the
provisions of the "G.I. Bill" and also
the Vocational Rehabilitation Bill"
The college is fully accredited and has
provided three distinct types OF
courses that are especially adapted to
the various needs of men and women
returning from the several branches
of the service.
The first group of courses consists
of the professional and pre-profession-
| al programs previously offered at the
college in such fields as pre-agricul-
ture, arts and nursing, business adj
ministration, chemistry, pre-dentistry.
pre-medicine, pre-law, chemical engi-
neering, civil engineering, electrical
engineering, Industrial engineering,
mechanical engineering, secretarial
science and social services or applied
social sciences. In all of these fields
the first two years of work are offered
and the program of each student has
been planned so that he may transfer
to the junior year of colleges and
universities in any part of the United
States as graduates of the college
have done in the past
The second type of courses con-
sists of two-year practical programs
in such fields as business training
including secretarial work, specialized
subjects in office machine operation
and such other fields as legal secre-
taryship medical secretaryship. and
office management. Drafting courses
are provided in the engineering de-
partment with complete two-year
program. In the Department of Edu-
cation there are numerous specialized
fields such as physical education and
the coaching of athletics, music, and
junior high school work.
The third list of courses is also
especially planned for returning vet
Grams and provides short, intensive re-
view or refresher courses in skilled
subjects and in certain fields in which |
veterans may have had |
earlier training or experience and |
wishes to prepare for position in the |
shortest possible time. These courses
are outlined in special wartime bull
Ietin that has been made available
for the information of veterans and
others interested in these opportun-
tiles.
A faculty committee offers advisory
service to veterans who are consider
ing entering college and assists each |
Individual in completing his college
The committee mem
Ders also confer with the student |
rom time to time as he continues his |
work in the college. In cooperation
with the Placement Bureau they as
;ist him in finding employment after
ne has completed his training. Re-
urning veterans may enter the col
ege on January and also on March |
Is in order to begin their college |
work.

CHRISTMAS IN GERMANY

Notwithstanding the new offensive
launched by Field Marshal Gerd Won
Rundstedt's armies on the Western
Front, Germany faces the prospect OF
gloomy and utterly lonesome" sixth
war Christmas, with travel practically
forbidden to all, with the shops bare
of gifts to buy and with the entire
nation at war either in the front lines
or in the factories of bombed cities.
christmas 1914 is characterized
by the nations greatest war effort, =
the Nazi DNB agency told German
newspaper readers. "There is no
time to sit back in peace and com
fort Our energy and determination
is directed toward one goal: to fight
for the liberty of the Reich. Only
when this aim has been achieved will
Christmas return to its old splendor. )"
The Swiss newspaper Appenzeller
Zeitung, in describing what it termed
Germany's utterly lonesome" Christ
mas, declared that there would be no
Christmas trees because their sale had
ben prohibited in towns and villages.
Wood is at a premium. Even if there
were trees, it was pointed out, there
would be no candles to light up the
trees.
Instead of the sound of church
bells, which long ago were silently
melted up in the furnaces of the arma-
ment industry, AFRAID sirens may
play their nerve-wracking music for
this holiday" the Swiss newspaper
added.
According to the Appenzeller lei
tung, the exchange of presents in
Germany is custom that has van
ished.
"If one realizes that even tooth
brush belongs in the category of
royal gift, to be received only by a
