In the adjoining colums we are re -producing an article entitled \Your W'heatless Days\ which appeared in a recent number of Collier's Weekly. NVe hope every reader who has com- plied with the Food Administration's exhoriatiohs to save wheat, sugar, meats' and fats, whether cheerfully or with grumbling, will read it. It stows a retord of accomplishment of which all may well be proud. Those who have failed to comply have had no part in the results set forth and of course will not be in- terestetl. , We doubt if any of us have real- ized the real seriousness of the situa- tion which has existed with regard to food, and many have taken the warnings issued as nnore or less dyer.' drawn and the danger of shbrtage as imaginary. That , we have saved so much because of -the requests. made without the support of facts, certain- ly indicates - how firmly the people are behind the government in all phases of war work, but we 'believe 'that, more publicity should be given to the exact conditions that confront ustliat the results would be great- er if everyone could' be niatle to un- derstand the whys and wherefores of what they are called upon to do. At any rate we know that V.\.? feel ttee about s. .a: v. a\, dc,ne ar.d will think a little mone carefully in the future of food matters from hal.- ing read this article. • r-.1 las SOLDIER IN.GOOD CARE During the few months following the tirsi arrival of our soldiers in France there was- a good deal of talk about their conduct, which was re- ported in many instances as very had. Invelations, by reliable peo- ple have cstst lislied that the first re- -ports were, grossly exaggerated and that the men as a' whole have con- ducted theniselNes in a way that re- flects no discredit on their morals. The false reports were undoubtedly a- part of the German propaganda and were designed to lir :LI; down the morale of the people at home. We mention this because we have been '41anded a copy of a message from General Pershing to his troops, sent by one of the Goys \over there\ to his mother. This message is post- ed in a prominent place in the Y. M. C. A. huts and shows the influences that are at work to help the young fellows withstand the temptations that may confront. them. It reads: \Hardships will be your lot, but trust in God will give you comfort. Temptations will befall you but the teachings of our Saviour will igive you strength. Let your valor as a soldier and your conduct as a man be an inspiration to your cameral:les and an honor to your country.\ 0. 7 . With an atm phere created by such men as the cotnnianders and ,the thousands men W1105f business it is to look after their needs for recreation, the American people need have no fear for the moral saftey of their boys. In this respect is is prob- able that there isiless danger where they now are than when they were permitted to search for their own pleasures withdut the strict discipline and training of military life. as ass BREED DISLOYALTY. If there are any who have a feel- ing of sympathy for the 'I. %V W. defendants convicted in Chicago, they have only to realize the results of their work as shown by the ar- rest of Ralph Burgdoff in Spokane for evading the draft Asked, \Where is your registration card?\ \There it is,\ the lad said as he threw a red I. NV, W. member- ship eard on the desk at the police station. \That's my card; I am a deserter from the army and I'd rath- er die than fight for the United States.\ / This young man is only an exam- ple of the kind of citizens that the teachinge of class hatred breed, and it is time that drastic Illeactiff, be taken to put a stop to H. promulga- tion of such dangerous and disloyal doctrines. If need be to attain this end, every leader of the organization should be imprisoned. The people of this country are in no frame of mind at this time to temporize with agita- tors of this stripe. . MODESTY IS A VIRTUE. We regret to atate that we have been unable to investigate the claims Lf the Plainsman in regard to the .ale of War Savings Stamps in time for this issue, because of *the neces- -ity of completing the election print- ing. The report published was made in good faith, with - no intention of giving Plains credit for less than than has actually been done, and if our figures were wrong we will cer- 'ainfy make the correction. Our readers will recall that we have always given the same publicity to the results of the variRus campaigns at Plains as have been given to other parts of the . county. If it pleases their vanity to keep dragging out the old figures on what they have done, as they did in the hearing before the Council of 'Defense, and they hope thereby to prove their patriotism, we are sure we have no objections. For our part we are more interested in what is to be done -in the future, and it cannot be denied that the -county seat 'fight will have a bad affect on the coming campaigns for war activ- ities. What would you think of a who gave a dollar to the Red Cross, and .then kept bragging about it as proof of his patriotism? You would soon think there was something the matter with a patriotisnt ‘ that had to be proclaimed in that n nnere and especially if at. the same tine he was interfering with what someone else was trying to do. Modesty in these matters is a very desireable virtue. If it is only to gain room for man- euver purposes that the Hun forces are retreating, as the German press woulud make 'the German people be- lieve, how much more convintiffg it would 'Rake the German people be- lied armies back instead of showing - their heels to the foe. - las eca .Teanette may not realize it, but it is a fact that many Montana people feel that they are too much mis(s)- i'lqTresented already to desire grant- ing promotions. ' Iat Ita If all the Hun army needs is more room, they will soon . have it at.the the a:lied arini:s are continuing the work of thinning the enemy ranks. .. US Ow , _ .

YOUR WHEATLESS DAYS (Contintie - d — froa; page 1) pottfids. flow about those steaks you didn't order? The corner has been turned in this mattsr of food. Hoover knows now, and so do you, that you can do all that is needful, and that we can sup- ply the allied world. . This year,. in all probability, we won% have to deny ourselves quite so sharply. We won't have a surplus. And we are facing the certainty that we can't have as big a harvest next year as we are looking forward to now. We have lost too many men -lent too many men to Pershing, rather. So we will have to keep on saving. You know about flour. 5tigar you will have to use very sparingly -two pounds a month' e person, for all pur- poses, from August 1 to January .1.. There won't really be enough sugar for everyone again until peace comes. Even after peace we'll all have to be easy for a time. Meat and fat ought to be a little more plentiful in this coming year. There's 'going to be a big corn crop, And, since corn means hogs, bacon and port ought to be reasonably abundant. The beef situ- atios is looking up too. (Inc thing is certain. You can cat all you need. You can't waste any food, but you won't be asked to carry self-denial to the point of serious sacrifice. And still you will, by such sacrifices as Hoover will still have to ask of you, put health and strength into the people of our allies. You have begun to give them the infinite comfort of knowing that the ghost of ftimine can never stalk in their lands again. WORN NERVES Nervous troubles, with backache, dizzy spells, queer pains and irreg- ular kidneys, give .reason to suspect kidney weakness and to try the rem - oily that has helped your neighbors. Mrs. Marion Smith, 407 N. Sixth St., Hamilton, Mont., says: \I suf- fered severely with kidney complaint. It clung to me tentil my health was poor in every way; 1 was all run down.

There comes comes now an inventor with the significant name of Ford -lot Henry, however—with some start- ling iniprovements for the machine gun, asserts Edward C. Crosman in the Popular Science Monthly. The first one is a mechanically op- erated loading _machine to keep the belt of the gun filled all the time re- gardless of fire and the duration thereof. The belt loader is operated by the power of the 'machine on which the gun is mounted, this to be motorcycle, motor tricycle, automo tile, airplane or other power vehicle. The second is a circulating water cooling system, a la automobile, in which the water passes from the jacket around the gun barrel to a regular automobile radiator, which in turn is Cooled by a fan driven by the power that operates the loading mechanism -and which in turn is merely the power plant of tin:scar. A centrifugal pump makes the water move, although it would surely ther- mosiphrm hurriedly if this system were used instead of the pump. The third startler is the fact that the gun is designed to be an integral part of its carriage, which is a gas engine propelled vehicle. Perhaps this idea was borrowed from the fighting airplane, in which the ma- chine gun is rigidly mounted to fire through the propeller.
