DANIELS' CHIEF SIN food crops may be grown in the fall, the winter allowance may be less than for the far North, where one must count on supplies for several months longer. ... LOOK FOR THE BRIGHTER SIDE fm HE Portland Oregonian takes occasion to attack SecretaryDaniels because v. typographical error in a re port from Paris yesterday had us believing for a time our ships had sunk six submarines when it develops we probably down ed only one diver. Of course the blame for this fell blunder rests squarely on the head of Josephus. He should have seen that the submarines were sunk and he should have pre vented the cable operator from making; his error. Down with Daniels; he "done" it whatever it may be. His chief sin, how ever, was that he drove John Barleycorn from a seat at the officers' mess and has not been pliable in the hands of the ar mor making trust. ARE YOU DOING THIS? VVtlTH most every house jr hold taking extra steps this year to store food for use during the winter it is of interest to know the normal requirements of the average home. Some information on the subject is given, in the last weekly news letter by the de partment of agriculture. A family of five, including two adults and three children under 12 years of age, under rdinary living conditions, should have stored for each month of the winter season the following food supplies: 1 bushel of Irish potatoes; ia bushel of other root vegetables uch as carrots, turnips, and parsnips; 23 quart cans of other vegetables, and 20 iuarta of canned fruit and pre serves. These figures are based on estimates by the Uni ted States Department of Agri culture, which adds that most of this should come from the perishable products of the many home gardens of this year. With these fisrures as a basis, it is thought that almost any family may calculate its re quirements, taking into consid eration the length of the win ter pp'xmn in nv civen locali ty. Thus, in the South, where I NY mothers are mak- JTl ing matters much worse j by weeping day in and day out about their sons. War lis bad enough without adding any extra sorrow before any- thig has actually happened. Anna Steese Richarson quotes in the October Woman's Home Companion from a letter writ ten to her. The writer of the letter says: "Like most mothers who have given sons to their coun try, I go out when I can to di vert my thoughts. And what do I hear? A friend inquires whether I have heard from my boy and adds, 'Well, I never expected to see the time that I would be glad my three chil dren are girls, but I am now Mv next hostess comments on the sadness of our finest young men being sacrificed. "At praver meeting last night, the leader, in the voice usually reserved for funerals, spoke of our boys at the front, and was followed by another speaker who solemnly an nounced the well-authenticat ed rumor that our boys are taking their coffins with them to France. Next a woman re lated with harrowing details how her father went to the Ci vil War, never to return, often '-topping to regain her self control. And the meeting clos ed with the most melancholy hymn in the book. I feel as if I never want to go to prayer meeting again' Thp run nf salmon is heavy and the packers are trying to boost the price nevertheless; will they claim that it costs more for salmon to live these days?

Suppose you get only 25 bushels per acre, that will give you 12,500 bushels of wheat, which at the minimum price for next year $2.00, will give you $25,000.

Price. $20 00 per acre. We have lower priced land selling at from $10 per acre up.

Wm can sell you any size tract from 80 acres to 8000 and for either wheat or Mtnck proposition. We gladly refer you to any bank in our district as to true crop condition or price of land. Ixian companies have not reduced their LOAN VALUE on our lands on account of a short crop this year prevalent all over the Northwest. Loan values are 4 0 per cent to CO p4T rent of our selling prices which is proof of value and right H"llin prices. In many cases we have been able to borrow TWO A Message for You! Having Just returned from Montana a trip which remitted in the sale of approximately 2000 acre. of our excellent wheat lands I want to deliver you the following message: I covered about three hundred miles by automobile through the farming section where our large holdings are located. We found THOUSANDS OP ACRKS OK fiRAIN (much of it ulrendy harvested) which will yield from 20 to 30 bushels of No. 1 Northern wheat. Practically every field of grain that was pro perly farmed is giving a goodly yield of No. 1 Northern wheat which was bringing the farmer the day I Inquired 2.68 per bushel nt this price on the lowest yield mentioned above. THIS YEAR'S CHOP WOULD MOKK THA.V TWICE PAY FOR THE LAND. I FOPND THE FARMERS HAPPY AND HOPKBTL and they will in most cases double their acreage for next year. This year has proved to thun that OOOI) FARMING PAYS and that even during a trying year, as the present one, they can raise a good crop in Montana as good as they can raise any where In the world. I found them unwilling to talk about "sell in out." even more so than last year or this spring, for they real lze that the decrease tn the yield this year is only an INCIDENT as It was common throughout the ontlre .Northwest. I hhi ARE NOT DISCOURAGED IN THIH SECTION THBY HA VK NO REASON ON EARTH TO BE THE US AST OIHCOl KAOEO. EVERYBODY PREDICTS AN KARI.Y ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF L4.VD THERE. WHY SHOULDN'T THERE HE AN ADVANCE WHEN LAND NOW SELLING FOR 120.00 to 3S.OO (improved farms is yielding fully as much as any HUNDRED DOLLAR AN ACRE land In the UNITED STATES, and the Gov ernment offering $2.00 as the minimum price for wheat? (iood farming will oe gremiy encour;ineu uy iiiih yr-r w w nertence which will- maks for greater yields and higher pries for One Washington farmer who purchased a large tract from us last year will have a 17 5,000 crop of wheat and lax mis year and savs he can sell In fact hits been offered ISO. 000 more for his land than he paid us ONLY A YEAR AGO. This man and aFSOciates oought 6S00 acres In Teton County. Gardens are the surprise to all who go up there. They are in excellent condition. Potatoes are fine promising a large yield. Pastures are good and cattle in prime condition. Recent r4ns have put the ground in shape for fall plowing and seeding and the farmers are already figuring on next year's crop for which T'ncle ifalri has aretd to pay them at least $2.00 per bushel for all the wheat they can raise. They have the VISION to see their OPPORTUNITY. Regardless of conditions said to prevail elsewhere In Montana or the Northwest, the part visited by me. constituting a large area of three counties and which is the center of our large hold ings. Is as shown in this letter. We have sold to people living In territory around Walla Walla during the past slx'weeks approximately $1&0.000 worth of Mon tana land. Some of these had made trips to other parts of Mon tana and did not buy, Rl.T THEY DID P.UY FROM US AND ARE DELIGHTED WITH WHAT THEY DID. As an example: One man bought through this offlco last spring n large farm, and recently returned to Montana with me ONLY A FEW DAYS AGO and was so pleased he bought three more sections; $1,750,000 worth of land sold to INLAND EMPIRE furmers THIS YEAR. Another party went up last week and bought a section, and two days after his return home, wired that he would take the ad joining section. Ho is a prominent farmer In Washington. Could give you scores of these Instances to show that men of Judgment and business sense see a great OPPORTUNITY. Personally, I have greater confidence In Montana land than ever before. Its record Is unassailable EVEN THIS YEAR PROVES IT TO BE THE CHEAPEST AND BEST WHEAT LAND IN THE WORLD AND RESIDES IT RAISES PRETTY NEARLY EVERYTHING ELSE. IT IS UP TO YOU.
