GRIFFIN GIVES UP
SOUTH SIDE OFFICE
John D. Young Now in
Charge Of Postoffice.

John d. Young takes over the GUS
Missoula postoffice today. succeeding
Charles .. Griffin, who has been Gus
todian of the station since 1914. The
branch station will be continued at
it's present quarters. as Mr. Young has
taken over the business conducted by
Griffin and has moved his entire stock
and machinery over from the adjoin-
ing rooms Of the Simons building,
which he previously occupied.
Station No. l is conducted specially
for the benefit of south side residents
and does a general postoffice business,
selling stamps and stamped envelopes.
money orders. registering letters and
packages and receiving all varieties of
mail for dispatching. MIR. Griffin who
has had charge of the branch for the
past two years. says that the amount
of business done daily in the station
is surprising, and it was mainly be-
cause of the fact that the strenuous
work of running his own business and
the postal work together took up too
much Of his time that he decided to
retire. Postmaster Lister asked for
bids for the custodianship of the sta
ton some time ago, as it was thought
that when Mr.. Griffin retired new
quarters would have to be found for
it, but with Mr.. Young in charge the
branch will stay in it's present loca-
ton.
Mr. Griffin will leave about the first
OF April. or perhaps a couple weeks
later for Grangeville. Idaho where he
owns a ranch, which he feels needs
his personal attention. He SAYS that
while he will spend part of his time
on the ranch he will continue to make
his home in Missoula, as he thinks the
Garden City is the only place for him.

| ton of municipal improvements and

| the town council submitted an applica-
ton to the United States reclamation
service for water right on North Crow
| creek for municipal purposes. The APP
. plication was received favorably by
the service officials who control by
prior appropriations, nearly all the
water of the several streams flowing
from the Mission range. There was in
corporated. however, in the reply of
the reclamation officials to the appli-
cation, that the town of Roman should
reimburse the service for the benefits
bestowed.
1t was interpreted that the benefits
bestowed consisted in furnishing the
town with Il uniform flow through the
% days of irrigation season., entailing
tain the flow desired by the town en-
gineer.
This expense would be prohibitive at
the present stage of the towns fl
nances and the alternative plan of
pumping from wells has been adopted.
The unusual in municipal government
has been shown in the case of Roman.
Council meetings have been held the
very evening of the day during which
the questions have arisen. There is
Il hustle and a stir in Roman that be-
tokens the prosperity that is beginning
to down. Flour mills are writing for
information regarding the territory
adjacent to Roman. Creamery Off
Gals are investigating the possibilities
of this location. Sawmills are being
installed and power companies are
seeking franchises for power and
lights.
The next six months will see great
developments In this wonderfully rich
and resourceful valley Of western Mon

LABOR ONE
OF FARMS
PROBLEMS
Every Farmer May Solve His
Difficulties BY Bein:
Efficient.
10y T. J. CHASE, Farm Manaoement
Expert Of Montana State colleoe.)
This is the fifth in q series Of ar
t'cIes by Mr.. Chase. Totnorrow's topic
Is The Well Balanced Farm"

Much time and space in our asri-
cultural papers of today is given to
the farm labor problem. Farmers have
had to and will continue to pay high
prices for their hired help, and in re-
turn get laborers who are inefficient
and irresponsible. This is a situation
which exists and cannot be helped by
the farmer because it is controlled by
the city laborer.
But the real question of farm labor
which confronts every farmer and
which can very largely control is not
why he has to pay SO much for his
labor but how much does he get out
of the labor he really does pay for,
and does he get as much as he ought.
4 certain farmer after figuring out
his labor income for the year saw that
it was very low and upon an analysis
Of his business found that his low labor
income was largely due to the high
cost Of the help he had to hire.
This man thereupon began to figure
out ways to increase the efficiency of
his labor. He found that one man
could drive five horses hitched to u
gang pillow just as easily as two men
could drive six horses hitched to two
sulky plows. He found that it took no
longer TO harrow a field with one man
driving five horses on four-section
harrow than it took two men driving
three horses each on two-section har-
rows He found that one man could
milk as many cows in an hour with q
milking machine as four men could by
hand. He found that one man could
market as much grain in a day with a
-bushel grain tank and six horses
as three men, three teams and three
wagons could. He also found out that
it was much better to have something
for his men to do every day in the
year. BY these methods he was able
to increase his labor income over s., 200
year.
