s REDUCE PRICES OF SUBSTITUTES STATE F(X11) ADMINisTitAToR ult , Es GLAD NEWS To BUTTE WOMEN Butte Council of Women Makes Pro- test Against Substitute Prices and Professor Atkinson, About to Leave for Washington, Intimates That Relief Is Forthcoming. There is to be a substantial drop in the prices of food substitutes, ac- cording to the statement of Edward Atkinson, state food administrator, to the women's council of Butte. The women of Butte, through the council, have been protesting against what they describe as exorbitant prices for foodstuffs in the copper metropolis, and with special refer- ence to the prices of wheat substi- tutes. There is 100 per cent loyalty among these women, and they would be willing at a moment's notice—as the great majority of householders the country over would be—to. dis- pense with the use of wheat products for the duration of the war, and use only wheat substitutes, if the gov- ernment should ask it as a further means of feeding the allied armies and nations and bringing the war to an end; especially an early end. These and other American women are will- ing to make every sacrifice necessary and with no thought of complaint. 1111111 on the ii Maker But they at Hope, as at other places, have been seeing large dents hammered into their ha u soh old ex- pense accounts, day by day and week by week, due solely to the high prices they have. had to pay for wheat sub- stitutes. The reason for this has never been explained to them satis- factorily, except that the national food administrator is powerless to curb the persistent ascendancy of substitute prices, for the reason that congress will not bring out from committees and carry to passage the legislation which would give the ad- ministration the power to fix prices of substitutes, as prices of wheat pro- ducts have been for some time con- trolled. Women Ask Why The householders listen patiently to this, and while they are able to see the obstacle, they continue in the previous state of being animated in- terrogation points. Women -like, they insist on the previous question: Professor Atkinson expects to be again on his way to Washington by the end of the present week. Ile didn't say for publication at Butte on what he bases his promise of a reduction in wheat substitute Rrices soon; but the women are taking it for granted that he knows what he's talking about, and if in some minds lingers some doubt of this, there con- tinues to spring at the same time that \eternal hope\ without which this life would be abysmal. Professor Atkinson is still some- what vague respecting the mechanics of the two and a quarter pounds of meat per capita per week order, which plan has been substituted for the meatless days and mebtless meals but it is assumed after his confer- ence at Washington, he will throw some light on the general subject. We do not blame fat women for wearing straight front corsets when they go out. If the fat men had any sense they would wear them, too.

MAINLY ABOUT MONTANANS Colonel William Bole, editor of the Great Falls Tribune, is developing In- to the William II. Hearst of Montana. lie is half owner of the Tribune, which is one of the finest newspaper Properties in the state, controls the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, which he purchased just to amuse himself when he was taking his Jay Coleman Drayton vacation of several years from the Tribune, and which is de- veloping into a nice property, is part owner of the Montana Farmer, and he has just taken over the Havre Plain - dealer, one of the good weeklies of northern Montana. In addition to his newspaper property and one of the hest editorial vocabularies in the west, he is the only newspaper man in the state to have a robust town nam- ed for him. • • • Lieutenant Donaldson, who has charge of recruiting for the British army in Montana, is one of the he- roes of the first battle of Ypres. Ile was one of the 20,000 Canadians who withstood the onslaught of 100,000 Germans, on the first occasion when poison gas was used. When relief cam e but 2,000 of the Canadians were on their feet and by their great deed they won for the fighting men of the western hemisphere a place in the esteem of soldiers of all nations. Lieutenant Donaldson was wounded in this fight, and after his recovery was detailed for recruiting duty. He has enlisted ninny British horn who are residents of Montana. • • • Senator II. II. Hobson of Cascade county, can use a few robust young men about harvest time. He has 7.000 acres of winter wheat planted and coming along nicely in the Belt country. The wheat looks like 30 bushels to the acre, which would be about 210,000 bushels in the gran- ary, or, as the banker would express it, ;420,000 in the vault. The Hob- son wheat exhibit is certainly a grow- ing testimonial of the long green. • • • Carl W. Iliddick of Fergus county went down to Memphis, Tenn., the other day to see his son, who is qual- ifying for service as an army aviator in the big training camp located there. The son challenged the fa- ther to a joy ride in the clouds, and the Fergus county man had to accept or forever relinquish parental autho- rity. He now enjoys the distinction of being the only county official in Montana, alive, who has risen above terra firma. • • • Colonel Morris of the Billings Times is the dean of the art preserva- tive in Montana. Recently he cele- brated his golden jubilee as a disciple of Gutenberg. He is prouder of the fact that he is a master printer than lie is of his gift of writing strong, virile editorials. During his long typographical career he has witnes- sed the coming of the Mergenthaler typesetting machine, the development of the web press and all the innova- tions that stand for the progress of civilization's handmaiden—printing. Incidentally, he has kept pace with them all. He is one of the few writ- ers who insists on Betting up his edi- torials, with his own hand, on the Nlergenthaler. • • • James Cummings, of the silver throat, is in the army. Cummings is, or was, the star reporter on the Butte Evening Post. The other day he got into an argument with the staff of the Post on the contention that the \army needed a few more privates,\ his position being that there were too many officers. So, to demon- strate that his faith was not without works, he marched himself down to the recruiting offices and enlisted. The next morning he showed up at the editorial offices of the Post and tendered his resignation. He is also publicity manager of the Oppenheim- er -Cohen theatrical syndicate of Butte and in exchange for emolu- ments amounting to about $76 per week will take the pay Of a private soldier, just as a matter of patriot- ism.

THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE PHOSPHATE Weak. thin people--nien or women—are! nearly always nervous wrecks; thus con- , elusively proving that thinness. weakness, l debility and neurasthenia are almost in- . variably due to nerve starvation. Feed , your nerves and all these symptoms due i to nerve starvation will disappear. Eminent specialists state that the best • nerve food Is an organic phosphate known atnong druggists as Illtro-1 hosphate. five -grain tablet of which should be taken with each meal. Being a genuine nerve builder and not a stimulant or habit-form- ing drug, Bitro-Phosphate can be safely taken by the weakest and most delicate sufferer, and the results following its use are often simply astonishing. Weak, tired people regain strength and vigor; thinness and angularity glee way to tatimpness and curves; sleep returns to the steepness; confidence and cheerfulness replace debility and gloom; dull eyes be- come bright, and pale, swamp cheeks re- gain the pink glow of health. Illtro-Phos. elude, the use of which Is inexpensive, also wonderfully promotes the assimilation of : food, so much so that many people re. I port marked gains In weight in a few I weeks.

Hail Insurance Is As Necessary As Seed IT PAYS TO INSURE EARLY, YOU CAN1NEVER;TELL WHEN HAIL WILL COME. Remember a Lost Crop Is a Lost Year 0 earthly power can guarantee that your growing crops, representing as they do, so much of promise, toil and expense, will not be severely damaged, or perhaps totally destroyed by hail, before maturity or harvest. The sunny skies of today hold no promise that next week or even to- morrow may not bring a destructive storm. This, of all years, is the one in which you should protect your invest- ment and months of labor against any loss of this kind. Mr. Farmer: Can you afford to take the Abance of being hailed out this year? And on the other hand can you afford to experiment with the uncertainty a§ well as invariably delayed settlements of the mutual brand of insurance? You will note that the merchants, bankers and those in charge of every other successful business enterprise in your locality cautiously avoid every form of mutual insurance as a plain business propo- sition. Any kind of insurance is perhaps good enough in Srears when there are few losses to pay, but when the storm breaks and with destructive fury ruins thousands of acres of promising and valuable crops as has so frequently happened in the past, the best insurance is far the cheapest investment in the end. THINK THIS OVER CAREFULLY. Our Plan In case of total destruction of the crop, the company pays the full amount of insurance per acre. In case of partial damage the com- pany will pay the same proportion of insur- ance per acre as the grain destroyed bears to the crop insured, had no hail damage occured. Illustrations If insurance is [$12.00 per acre and the crop is damaged 75 per cent, the 'company pays $9.00 per acre. Fit If insurance is $10.00 per acre and the crop is damaged 75 per cent, the company pays $7.50 per acre.! , fluf insurance is $5.00 per acre and the crop is dam- aged 50 per cent, the company pays $2.50 per acre. An undivided interest may be insured by either tenant or land owner or both. All policies take effect 24 hours after application is signed by the assured. Insure your crop in a solid home company and keep the money in Montana.
