LIVESTOCK GROWERS
SHOULD ORDER FEED
Immediately

Quick action on the part Of live
stock growers to assure a winter sup
ply of concentrated fseds is urged by
the State Feed Advisory committee
of the Department of Agriculture.
Ranchers are urged by the commit
tee to place orders for feed Immediate
ly and to take it to their ranches and
store it as soon as it is received. The
reason for this, the committee ex-
planned, is that ALLEGATIONS made to
the states and to individual dealers
for single months at a time cannot ac-
cumulate. What is not used in one
month is gone and cannot carry over
into the next month.
1920 Put Aside for State
From all protein meals manufac-
tured in the nation at present, 10 per
cent is set aside by tie government
for ALLEGATION among the states. Out
of each states share, the manufac-
turers must provide for each rancher
through their dealers.
Ranchers, hence, cannot follow with
safety their old custom of buying feed
when needed, the committee pointed
out. Accordingly, all livestock men are
urged to make inventories and esti-
mates now, and buy and store their
feed.

PLENTY OF JOBS when

Shortage of building materials and
scarcity Of merchandise items are
mentioned in nearly every local USES

Most employment offices go even

just about the most unique testimony
came from Alfred Baker Lewis, noted
liberal businessman who heads the
Union Casualty company.
Lewis declared that passage of the
bill would put my company out of
business" since it writes group acct
dent and health insurance for union
members.
"NonetheIess, am in favor of it"
he testified, for | am impressed by
the great need for this form of social
security"
Because congress has failed to act
on the measure, unions are fighting
for the same objective through col
lective bargaining, Lewis said.
Scores of unions have already won
health insurance through their own
economic strength, and in most such
instances the employers pay the en-

Three new INDUSTRIES
ARE LAUNCHED in
MONTANA

New industries in Montana are to
receive three new additions during
June, all of them concerned with treat
ing of lodgepole and other forest spe-
cies of telephone and telegraph poles.
One of the new outfits will operate
at Arlee, another at Kalispell, and
the third at Helena. This makes nine
such enterprises to operate in the
state.
Montana is primary producer of a
number of raw products: logs, copper,
zinc, lead, wheat, oats, sugar beets,
fruits, vegetables, cement, coal, oil,
clay, gypsum, lime, sandstone, marble,
power, recreation, scenery, and scores
of others.
Any enterprise, which performs a
refining or processing function upon
any such raw product in order to fit
it more precisely for the use of con-
sumers, if of employment Importance
to Montana. Only in the using of avail
able manpower and providing for use
of still more manpower, may the econ
omy of the state be developed and sus-
tanned on high level.

May Is, 1916.
Hon. Robert NJ LaFollette Jr.,
United States Senate,
Washington d. c.
Dear Senator:
We have read your endorsement Of
our misrepresentation in the senate
B. K Wheeler and we are at loss
to figure out why you should have
it in for Montana by wishing on us
the curse of six more years of mis-
representation of some of the finest
people alive.
Can it be possible that you have
already forgotten that Wheeler re
vealed a military secret when the
American soldiers were on the ocean
en- route to Iceland because the Hit
Ter submarines were sinking our ships
daily; surely Blk. can take no credit
for the fact that all these brave men
were not killed. How much can a
man do without becoming traitor,
regardless of the office he is in.
Do you remember that patriot who
said, "My country, right or wrong,
my country, ETC."
Have you forgotten that Blk. gave
comfort if not aid to Hitler and his
friends when he attempted to inter-
cede for the nazis with our people?
Is it true or not, that he was a nazi
collaborationist in his conniving with
the Hitler agents in the country, and
when he gave them free use of our
mails for their poison propaganda.
$500 Per Night (?)
Why did he go about the country
pleading for Hitler and the enemies
in his America First harrangues? Was
it because of the $500 night he has
not denied accepting.
Why did he tell the people that,
you never can beat Hitler, he will
rule Europe and he will run it right,
and you can do business with Hitler,
etc. !" Did he lack faith in our won
derful country, and did he really be-
lieve that our country could be
whipped? Is that the way for high
representative to talk and act?
Why did he say in another harrangue
