Therefore, be it resolved, that the state legislature should provide a fund sufficient to pay such losses in full and the rates for the future be made high enough to guarantee ade- quate protection and prpvide a sink- ing fund to take care of the debt iticurted.\ This resolution will be presented by Mr. Metzger at a oonference of farm bureau , presidents to be held at Bozeman in January for state action. Mr. R. S. Scott, county agent of Musselshell county, thinks this Is a mighty big item and will prove itself so in the future. RAW FURS Ship us your raw furs.

Previous to Getting Into Action He Was in Supply Service and Man.. aged to Get a Hot Meal to Men in Front Lines Once a Day—it Popu- lar Officer. As a reward for the ability he dis- played in handling a company of the 363rd infantry during an 11 -day battle in the Argonne forest, Lieuten- ant W. R. Strong of nelena was pro- mpted to a captaincy. Captain Strong for several years was cashier of the state land office. Soon after landing in France, Strong was put in charge of the sup - p1 and ordnance service of the regi- • nt, and when it got into action he aucceded in serving one hot meal a day to the men in the front line trenches, an accomplishment that evoked favorable comment. On the second day of the battle in the Argonne forest, the captain of one of the companies was wound- ed, and Lieutenant Strong was Plac - ed in command of the company. Many of his men were killed or wounded by a wicked machine gun fire, but Capt. Strong came through unscathed. His regiment is now in Belgium. PRESIDENT HILL SAFEGUARDS MEN High Price For Land -John Blewett has purchased the McPherson ranch, located one mile east of FrOmberg, for $350 an acre, the highest price ever paid for a ranch in this valley.

TYLER REALTY COMPANY 35 Todd Block, Groat Falls HELPED IV M4Eil DEADLY NEW GICS HELENA BOY LOCKED UP IN THE FACTORY THAT CONTAINED GREAT WAR SECRET For Months William Brulo Worked With Others to Develop Gas Which Would Have Made Most Terrible Hun Product Feel Like Breath of Fresh Air. was president and chief executive officer of the Great Northern rail- way. Before this nation called for help Mr. Hill went to Washington and tendered his fortune, his per- sonal services and the use of his great railway to the service of hid country. Promptly all were accept- ed. Louis Hill put millions of. dol- lars into the government's war se- curities. The Great Northern rail- way was taken over by the govern- ment and employed in the nation's service, and Mr. Hill went to work to help win the war. He didn't seek high place in his country's service. Ile didn't ask for title, power or pay. lie took the Job of a hAred man and did a mighty good, hard day's work every twenty-four hours. He made motions like a real patriot. And he is still on the job. Hill Was Busy. The other day Gt.not\..1 Superin- tendent W. R. Smith of the Grett Northern, an official who is well- known to the phblic in this part of the 'world, called upon Lcuis Hill in St. Paul to discuss SIMS prob- lems of railway managemmt with him. Mr. Hill s: w him but didn't have time - have time to talk shop .ith him. Mr. Hill had been work- ing for three weeks 18 hours a day trying to get relief for the thou- sands of employes of tho Great Northern railway who were suffer- ing from the prevailing epidemic. He was planning help for these who were already afflicted, and safety and prevention for those not yet , stricken. Sending Out Serum. He had just completed arrange- ments with the Mayo Brothers, the famous physicians and surgeons of Rochester, Minn., for a supply of serum for the prevention of pneu- monia, sufficient to treat every one of the uncounted thousands of the Great Northern railway. The bill for this wonderful service was paid by Louis W. Hill from his own pri- vate purse. It was a contribution to the cause of humanity. The big job of getting the 'medicine to the men quickly and effectively was handled by Mr. Hill himself. He stuck to the job day and night until word came back from the remotest points on the system \all set.” Every employe of the road and the family of such employe had been notified that Mr. Hill had supplied the prp- tective serum. It was a great dea• a useful, generous, manly deed. It Is only one example of the great and unselfish services that have been rendered by the busy, brainy' and patriotic men of America during the hours of this nation's greatest tribu- lations. It is an incident that indi- cates our growth as a greater, better, more powerful, and more virile na- tion.\ FURTHER EXPENDITURE FOR SCHOOLS OF STATE C. S. Whipple, state land agent, has received a letter from William Brulo, of Helena, for several years a field agent of the land office until he re- signed to enter the army, that reads like the \Arabian Nights\ brought down to date. For some time Brulo's whereabouts have been a mystery. He was 'somewhere in the United States' but was not at liberty to say where. He got word home that he was alive and well and that nobody need worry about him. But he could not tell a soul where he was or what he was doing. N it appears Brulo was locked up with others at Willoughby, 18 miles from Cleveland. Ohio, making a new gee, the most deadly ever in- vented. Its poisonous properties are such that one day's output of the Willoughby plant would kill the en- tire population of Cleveland. On the very day the armistice was sign- ed, this plant, according to the Cleve- land Plain Dealer, was ready to swing into opeeation and send to France a gas that would have slain the Ger- mans by the hundred thousand daily. The Plain Dealer says: Beats Wildest Fiction \The story of 'methyl' beats the wildest fiction. Six - Nmonths ago only three men knew of the existence of such a gas. So closely has the secret been guarded that today only five men outside the Willoughby plant know what is going on inside. \The possibilities in the achieve- ment are so great and so potent a force may the gas become in world history that the secret is to be guard- ed just as carefully in the future. Even with the lifting of the censor ship only the net results can be told. \Conservative officials who know the secret estimate that the new gas is exactly 72 times more poisonous than mustard gas. And mustard gas was by Lyng odds the most terriltle weapon introduced into the war oh terrible weapons. When 'methyl' comes in contact with substances in the present German mask, instead of being destroyed, it is changed into a still more deadly gas called by the chemists 'cliazomethane.' Almost in- stantaneous death is the result. Twenty Tons a Day \The making of 'methyl' has writ- ten into chemical history a page with- out precedent. It is known that both the British and German chemists had been trying almost from the day the Germans first used poison gas as a weitpon at Ypres, to produce a gas similar to 'methyl.' They were un- successful. American chemists suc- ceeded. In six months from the time they saw the first laboratory experi- ment that produced a few drops, they were ready to make 20 tons a day.\ In all, there were about 1,000 men there, practically prisoners. The plant was surrounded be a barbed wire fence, closely guarded day and night. Classified saran Le2t De YOU SAIJI ACH S. 16 MILISHOM SPOKA 2 tnUes from electric station. 50 sena in cultivation.

The state board of education will recommend to' the lekislature this winter for the institutions of the University of Montana, appropria- tions $42,600 a year in excess of the appropriations of two years ago. Chancellor Elliott said that the In- creases are chiefly to cover the in- creased cost of maintenance. About 60 per cent or e Increase is de - 'voted to agricultural extension ser- vice. In addition, a special recommen- dation of $100,000 for a new build- ing at the school of mines at Butte was decided upon by the board. The building program at Missoula and Bozeman of $100,000 for each institution will also be continued, If the legislature heeds the recom- mendations of the board. The vocational committee was au- thorized to draft a bill for submis- sion to the legislature to meet the vocational education In the state re- quired for federal aid. The federal board has called attention to the fact the legislature two yearn ago did not make adequate pro-isione.
