3. County officials here declared Saturday night that the story sent out from Helena to the effect that Park county will drop in classification, and that as a result lower salaries will be paid to county officials is entirely wrong. It was pointed out that figures on county assessed valuation furnished the state board of equalization in August have since been increased so that the requirement for this county has been more than met by the county assessor's figures. In. August the assessment for this county totaled $0,099,050, but since that time additional assessments of more than $125,000 have; been added.

That deliberation has characterized the movement is attested by the fact that it was started fully 18 months ago when eight prominent physicians addressed a communication to the members of their profession. Disclaiming any intention of initiating a propaganda for or against prohibition, and declaring it to be immaterial whether a physician does or does not believe in prohibition, they asserted that the point at issue is the right of the physician to select his remedies and decide what doses of those remedies each patient should have.

Dec. 1. Doctors are after the Volstead law in bo for as the prohibition enforcement act interferes with or regulates the practice of medicine. Suit has been brought in the United States district court in New York to annul the provisions of ihe law that restricts physicians to a limited amount of whisky or other alcoholic beverages in the treatment of sick persons, and it is announced that the case will be carried to the supreme court of the United States for. a final decision.

Preliminary to this action the New York physicians organized the Association for the Protection of Constitutional liights, and it is stated that similar bodies will be formed in other cities and states to co-operate in the fight.

The hearing on margins taken, by elevators in buying grain from the farmers, held in this city Friday afternoon, was largely The hearing opened at 1 o'clock in the city hall, which was packed with farmers, business men and spectators and representative men from adjoining countieg. Attorney-General liankin, who was assisted in the bearing by J. M. Davis of the state department of agriculture, opened the proceedings by stating the purposes of the investigation. IJankin said that it had been repeatedly called to the attention of not only the agricultural department of the state, but also the legal department, that gross inequities were being practiced by elevator men throughout the state, and tsat hearings were being held in different localities to determine the facts, with 01 DEATH OF It!

"While recognizing the medicinal value of alcohol, it says to the physician, 'Thou shalt not give more than a pint of whisky or brandy to any patient within 10 Further than this, statements given by persons interested in promoting similar legislation contain the threat to prohibit altogether the medicinal use of alcohol. While there is a difference of opinion among the physicians of the country with respect to the therapeutic value of alcohol, the number of those having faith in it is sufficiently large to receive attention.

"The medicinal restrictions of the Volstead act constitute an indictment of the integrity of the whole medical profession, in that it is assumed that many of its members, unless restrained by law, will pander for gain to the people's desire for drink. "Further, it should be pointed out that the Volstead act contains the most drastic legislation effecting the medical profession yet enacted.

white men at Heart Butte decided after hearing testimony two days that Marceau met death by freezing, caused or contributed to by moonshine liquor al; that congress is not supposed to know anything about. In commenting up the resort to the courts one of the officers of the association said that there was nothing hasty or ill-considered about it. They had pondered over the problem for months with growing irritation, for they had witnessed needless suffering and threatened death or else had deliberately violated a law which they look upon as stupid and unjust. The law says that a'physician may not prescribe more than a pint of whisky or brandy for a patient within a ten-day period. The doctors claim the right to prescribe as much more in that period as their judgment and knowledge of medicine tells them the patient requires, and they contend that no one but a physician is a competent judge of what that requirement may be.

Lawmakers Practiced Medicine. When congress passed the Volstead act the lawmakers were undertaking to practice medicine, according the doctors, and were assuming to know more about what a nutient nppd.o than cars, the grower netted from 10 to 15 I i-ure, ine grower ueueu irum iu iu THE MIDDLE POSITION. i vl cents per bushel more for his grain deged to have been purchased from al 21 ter Scheels.

When questioned as to his opinion of what caused the shortage, Mr. Staff replied that it might be general business conditions or it might be the strike. At the conclusion of Staff a examination Attorney General ltankin expressed the opinion that the position of the railroads was Inexcusable, indefensible and reprehensible; that they had known for months what cars would be needed, and that as a public service which he asserted that now is the time for the United States to cancel, at least a part of the war debt which America has coming from the allies. He thinks that this will give new courage and hope to Europe and he thinks that a delay in being magnanimous on our part will lead to further discouragement among the nations of Europe. We do think that this highly al-turistic plea on the part of the president of Princeton will find favor with the people of the United States.

To our mind, it would not do much good if America should say to the allies and to all of those who are indebted to us that they need not pay this1 money. What the people of Europe need is not a cancellation of debts, but an oppor-tuntiy to earn the money that will put the war nations upon their feet and a chance to proceed along the paths of It would not take these countries such an awful long time to pay their debts or some of them if they could and would go to work. It is idleness and strife and discord and threatening war that is holding them down and making life miserable for the whole continent. The very fact that they owe money to a certain extent keeps th'em from fighting. Under the present situation, if all of the debts of the world were wiped out, it might not do much good if the attitude of the people of the different countries was still for war and hate and destruction.

There are also a few facts in re Saturday morning on one of the most prominent corners in the business district. The warning" followed what is generally believed to have been a Klan demonstration the early port of the week, when a huge fire, formed in the shape of a perfect cross, was displayed on the lope of Cemetery hill south of here. Attention to the cross Was brought about by the report of a heavy detonation in the same locality. The notice, which attracted much interest, is now in the hands of the police. It was penciled in capital letters, and the author apparently 6ought to disguise his work by misspelling some of the words.

It was headed, "Be An American," and the text was as follows: "Be a citizen, not a subject. Stand by President Harding, who in effect brands the Ku Klux Klan as an organization of outlaws. "Shoot on sight any masked outlaw who attempts to violate tlv law, flaunts the courts and commits dastardly deeds. "If you are ashamed to carry the American flag without being masked, than it is better for you to device an emblem that can receive your whole hearted adulation. And if citizenship in America is unsatisfactory, then go to some foreign shore with your subjects and set up an empire visable or invisible as suits your fancy."

Shippers have suffered inconvenience and in some cases loss. It has been a hard thing to bear. There has been considerable criticism of the railways because they have not supplied cars and probably some of this has been just.

Today, it is alcohol, tomorrow it may be any remedy which falls under the ban." However, it is not to be concluded that all physicians are up in arms against the Volstead law. In June, 1917, after Dr. Charles 1L Mayo, the well known surgeon of Rochester, had made a strong address favoring prohibition, the house of delegates of the American Medical association adopted resolutions stating that the use of alcohol is detrimental to the human economy and its use in therapeutics as a tonk; stimulant or for food has no scientific value, and placing the association on record as opposing the use of alcohol as a beverage and discouraging its use as a therapeutic agent. This led to a questionnaire under the auspices of The Journal of the American Medical Association which was sent to more than 53,000 physicians throughout the United States. Approximately 58 per cent of these physicians voted in this referendum, and in response to the question aa to whether they regarded whisky as a pers for this "flagrant violation their trust and duty." It was shown by Staffs examina tion that 1K cars have been shipped and that at least 500 more will be needed before the entire crop is got ten on the market.

When it was' brought out that a large number of the farmers would be unable to pay their taxes because thev could not market their grain. Shelton was not at home so tney went to the nearby home of Walter Scheels, where, they said, they obtained moonshine liquor. The three men said it made the four of them very sick, but that the witnesses were able to reach their homes at Heart Butte and eventually recovered. Marceau was presumed to have lost his way and fell off his horse several miles from Heart Butte, being found frozen to death. Scheels was arrested Friday by Deputy Sheriff Nick Hahn of Valier.

For a long time, they did not have any money to buy cars, and it is only lation to these war debts due the United States that are not often mentioned by the nations of Eu- rope when they talk of debt cancellations. Of the ten billion owing us, about four billions was loaned AFTER the war, and of the other six billion loaned them some portion was used to keep their foreign trade and industries going during the war. Probably not over half of the borrowed money was used in fighting the war in which we were allies. When speaking of this debt it is customary for our foreign critics to assume that it was all spent in fighting for the common cause.

About half of it was devoted to that purpose and was paid by us in war credits. But the United States spent about six billion dollars in buying war supplies work. Thev are lodged in the county jail here, whehe they gave the names Shopmen Arrested at Livingston for son and F. E. McDonnell.

This disease, which is very painful and frequently fatal, is caused by a smnll parasite that sometimes occurs in pork The trichina parasite is so small that It can be seen only4 with a microscope, and is often overlooked even in the most careful miscroseopic examination. Hogs harboring the parasites show no symptoms and pork containing trichinae is exactly the same in npeparance as other pfcrk.

No practicable, system of meat inspection has been discovered, by which persons who eat uncooked or imperfectly cooked pork can be protected from the danger ef trichinosis. There is, however, one very effective means of preventing the disease. Cooking destroys the parasites. Hence properly cooked pork is safe and trichinosis can not be acquired if the simple rule is followed of cooking pork well before it is eaten. Fortunately in the United States most persons do not like raw or rare pork and only a comparatively small number of the population who cotue from countries where pork is customarily eaten uncooked or who are under the influence of foreign customs of eating uncooked pork are in much danger of Contracting trichinosis.
