You Can Get a Government-Irrigated
Farm In The Big Horn Basin, If
You Act Promptly.
Uncle Sam built this irrigating system; he gives you the lands and
charges you only the actual cost of an ample and permanent water right. The
mode of payment is nearly a gift—twenty years’ time no interest; with three
years’ cultivation, these farms will be worth at least a hundred dollars an
acre; excellent surroundings; on the Burlington’s main line, near Deaver, Wyo.
THE BIG HORN BASIN: Because of the rich oil discoveries, the great
irrigated areas, the heavy alfalfa and grain production, beet sugar factories,
oil refineries, growing population, the Big Horn Basin teems with prosperity
and a rapidly increasing development.
NEBRASKA ANI) COLORADO LANDS: For dairying, wheat raising,
for livestock and general farming,these lands can be bought on good terms.
They are cheap and should double in value, in the face of the world’s demand
for food stuffs .
Secure my services; they are free to you.

Because of the great need for nurses
for the Army Nurse Corps certain re
quirements have been waived for the
period of the war emergency. Regis
tered nurses are preferred, tfut reg
istration may be waived.
Nurses between the ages of 21 and
45 will now be considered, as well as
tho3e who are graduated from army
hosoitals of less than 100 beds. Under
the temporary revision of rules they
are not required to purchase new uni

Denmark’s Restaurants and Theaters
Closed by Illumination Orders.
Theaters and restaurants in Den
mark close at 10 p. m. to save lights.
To save kerosene, which is sold at a
price regulated by the Government at
72 cents a gallon, Greenland whale oil
is being tried for lighting. It is esti
mated 200,000 acetylene lamps are
now in process of manufacture.
The distillation of all kinds of alco
hol except for industrial uses is pro
hibited. A large part of the available
alcohol will be needed for use in the
new incadescent lamps. It is esti
mated that 2,000 tons of grain will be
saved by the new regulations.
Motion Picture Show How Work of
Boys Increases Meat Supply.
To help increase the pork supply the
Department of Agriculture has releas
ed to motion picture theaters, through
one of the large companies, a film
showing the work of the boys’ pig
club3 which the department is or
ganizing in all parts of the country.
The film shows methods of instruct
ing farm boys who have joined the
agricultural clubs how to raise better
pigs and the methods used by club
members in carrying out instructions.
The first pig club was organized in
Louisiana in 1910. Now approxi
mately 45,000 members are enrolled
throughout the country. Clubs in
several States are planning to send
carloads of fat hogs to fairs and stock
shows, after which they are to be
marketed co-operatively.
Other moving pictures being used to
show the importance of incresed food
production show activities in the na
tional forests, important sources of
timber and water supply.
German Paper Tells of Hardships of
Soldier’s Family.
The Committee on Public Informa
tion has made the following translation
of a story appearing in the October 15,
1917, issue of the Leipziger Volkseit
ung:
“A sample of the fashion after
which bloated landlords treat the
wives of soldiers has been brought to
our attention from Upper Langenun in
Silesia. One of the hired men of Dr.
Mueller’s agricultural estate has been
for a long time at the front. His wife,
who has worked alongside her hus
band before the war after the usual
custom, remained in the ranks of the
field hands and accordingly retained
her farm cottage. Oteober 1 this wo
man got the following letter:
“ ‘The undersigned bailiff of the es
tate hereby giv^ps you notice as of this
date to the field service for January 1,
1918. On th^t day you are to give up
your house. The work which you are
doing on the farm does not compen
sate the farm for the loss which ac
crues to it through the continued sup
port of your family. Look out for
youself away from this farm, your
house is needed for other use.’
“The Woman communicated* the no
tice to her husband with these words:
‘I must tell you my distress, soon I
shall not be able to see the paper for
my tears. What shall I do? Winter
is at the door and the cottage is full
of little children.’
“Thus the baliff of the estate of a
bloated landlord turns a family with
eight children out of doors in mid
winter while the man is at the front.
Comment takes care of itself.”
Food Supply of France and Neutral
Countries on the Decline.
According to the Food Adminis
tration, shortage of wheat in France
is becoming more and more alarming
each week. The minister of general
revictualing indicated recently that a
further reduction of 20 per cent in the
bread ration would soon become im
perative.
Denmark is now looking forward to
a reduction of wheat rations. Final
figures for the cereal harvest show a
total of about 62,000,000 bushels,which
is 20,000,000 bushels less than in 1916
and about 10,000,000 less than was es
timated in the summer, when the
populace was put on bread rations.
The authorities are already consider
ing a further reduction in the allowed
consumption.
The food situation in Switzerland is
rapidly falling to the danger line. A
ration that is far below the con
sumption in many of the countries at
war has already been ordered. Under
the new regulations the Swiss may
have only a pound and a half of sugar
per person per month. The bread ra
tion has been fixed at about half a
pound a day, and the butter ration at
one-fifth of a pound a month.
Boys’ and girls’ clubs in northern
and western states pledged for war
service in gardening, canning, poultry
raising, and other emergencies have
more than 800,000 members.
Cable rates have been reduced be
tween North and South America.
