Montana Prospect
For Seventh Fat
Year on Cr0pland

Based on weather and growing
condition as Of July 1, Montana is
now in her seventh consecutive
season of above average" crop
yields, according to report from
the bureau of agricultural econom-
les. These seven fat" years which
began with the season. Of 1888 were
preceded by nine lean" years of
below average crop yield from 1929
through 1887.
In 1874 crop conditions yer so
much above average that their con-
tinuance on that level will result
in some new production records be-
ing established, the report said. For
example the July /, 1914, wheat crop
forecast of 8 1868, 900 bushels was
4.534,000 bushels above the 1913
crop and the third largest on rec
ord but with continued favorable
weather the final estimate in 1914
will likely break the previous rec
ord of 81, 713 900 bushels in 1927.

Joe Reboula's Big
Rock Bears Map
Of Battle Fronts

Wandering over his broad grass
lands recently, Joe Reboula, north
country rancher, came upon a white
and perfectly rounded rock which
attracted his attention.
Picking it up. Joe first thought
he would save it for a joke on some
Glasgow friends by entering it in
next years Courier big egg" con-
test.
Further examination, however
convinced him he had something
unusual and he now declares that
in the rust marks on his rock can
be found the map of the world.
With little difficulty, Joe can locate
any of the many fighting fronts
on the globe-from Greenland to
New Guinea.
He will keep the rock and, no
doubt. will be glad to locate any
point in the world for his friends.

Joe, no respecter of nomencla-
ture, knows the newest military

Although the weasel has little
social standing, reasoned Gil
Joe in selecting the nickname,
he is considerable of a fighter.
The weasel will tackle an enc
my many times his weight: He
strikes stealthily and swiftly.
He is a crafty stalker of prey,
taking full advantage of terrain.
Snow, swamp, sand, mountains
nothing bothers him once he
makes up his mind to get going.

being "laid on."
 One good old British Army cus- tom gives him a real lift. That's when, as he leaves his train, troops line the road, wave their hats, give him a cheer. Almost every man he chats with comments afterward on his direct scrutiny, the habit he has of looking you in the eye" His usual questions touch welfare: How's your food? Satisfied with your equipment? ..
 MAKES IMMEDIATE DECISION
 He sees both British and Ameri- can infantrymen Host in the head lines" because the airmen's job is more romantic; goes out of his way to sing the foot-slogger's praises for the way they fought in the cold and bitter mountain conditions of Tu- nisia and Italy.
 His own toughness in his most critical hour is shown by this bit of secrete history: The heavily laden Allied invasion fleet was bound for SaIerno when word came by wireless that Hitlerite machinations to wreck

Does he hand out the same treat ment to their men fighting under him as he does to his own Ameri- cans? Just how has he brought his Western Front one-party war ma chine to it's highest pitch of har- mony at Supreme Headquarters AL lied Expeditionary Force? Few know the answers, for nothing has happened before in history quite like SHAEF.
 There, I found the two-letter We" is Ike's operative word. He insists on everyone using 1t, and seldom refers to British and Ameri- cans even as Allies.
 He dislikes the term Opposite number" to describe those of us of the two nationalities sitting beside each other. Whats opposite about us?' he asks. We're team, aren't we?"
 Of an American who can't CO., operate with his teammates he says, Send him home on slow boat un- escorted" A British ''can't officer is handed over to his own authori- ties for equally unceremonious dis posal.
 Doing what no commander has done before, Ike has built up a combination of two different mili- tary systems after the pattern be- gun in North Africa so that each side understands the orders, terms and methods of the other.
 SHARE BATTLE EXPERIENCES
 Battle experience was shared from the first, on his orders, in Western Front training. Seasoned American troops were infiltrated into British and British into American units for the common gain.
 When he found his 37 nm. guns, in the Mediterranean theater, man. ned by troops new to them, weren't stopping the enemy's Tiger tanks, he borrowed and rushed into the breach 100 British 6-pounders which stopped them. To test his own guns he used veteran British troops, who found them effective. His men had good gun, but in battle for the first time they weren't holding their fire long enough.
 The British Intelligence Chief at SHAEF, whose staff is integrated roughly half and half, irrespective of nationality, told me Ike puts his favorite word "selfishness" as the top quality of commander. |. He gets his personal touch with the troops by just driving around and chatting with them," added this General. "He has a minimum of guards: no escort of armored cars no mounted police. Only, as guides, a motorcyclist in front and another behind. Far from being papers general he spends every hour he can forward at his command post and among the men,"
 Besides the four stars of rank on his car or jeep, Ike sports as a ges- ture and emblem of the oneness of his party a miniature Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes. On big ger occasions. when inspecting by train or with a convoy of staff cars. he stili insists on nothing special

Badoglios plan were at this eleventh hour on the point of succeeding.
 The die was cast. The fleet was on the high seas. They might have to land without Italian support. Go backp Ike's decision was resolute and immediate. He calmly wrote a wire to the Italian Government that the Allies were coming whether or not Italians surrendered as agreed.
 He has told his staff that he hopes that when they bury him they'll shape his coffin like land- ing craft-all his operations having been amphibious, with landing craft giving him his worst headache, ow- ing to the vast numbers required and the success of their landing be- ing so dependent on the weather's whims.
 The Royal Navy carried him on all his sea trips as Allied Comman- der in the Mediterranean. Those times he'd often be found on the lower deck chatting away with all the bluejackets. To British airmen he talks in their own language. Himself a licensed pilot Che learn ed to fly at 45) he sometimes takes over the controls of Fortress. He won't chance landing so big craft, but he'll bring 1t into circle over an airfield.
 To Prime Minister Churchill he described an officer who sought un- due popularity as glory hopper" Churchill, coining his own version, later told an American general, The reason I like Ike is that he's no glory grabber.'
