MANY AT WORK
Report for Six Month Period
Shows 2,942 People Have
Procured Employment.

Thru the efforts Of the f5reat Falls
district branch of the United states en-

men and women were reported placed IN
positions or given work IN the period
from July /, 1918. 10 January i. 1919,
the report covering the last six months
of the year 1918 This is the report made
by Mr.. Crawford,
The local office received STA help
wanted calls during this period. From a
first glance this situation would seem
peculiar. as the number of calls for help
lead one to believe there are twice as
many positions open as there are appii-
cants to fill them, when the fact IS at
present, that the situation is just the re-
verse of this. The difference Id this re-
port is due to war time demand for 10.

calls for help include more than 2,UD
calls from the government in the month
Of November alone This was the month
the big call came from the Nitro plant
in West Virginia and the demand for oOO
men for shipyard work. However, the
shipyard order was cancelled before the
men were forwarded. But the ou Is

the returned soldiers have been placed
in positions by the local office according
to MIR. Crawford but the apple atoms are
being filed more rapidly than the calls
for help. During the war. because OF
the government demand and also largely
on account of the local shortage of help,
there was a brief period when the calls
for help actually were much greater
than the applications for jobs. But tLis
is no longer true, according to Mr..
Crawford.
He points out that there are several
things which must be considered IN con-
nection with the report But the Trln-
cipal one is the number of people apply
ing at the office for employment. As
stated above, the number of registrations
does not begin to equal the total rum
Der of people applying for work. Kegs
trations are made only by those people
who do not procure work Immediately
upon applying at the office. They then
register and wait until the office C; n
place them, which is usually done, altho
no definite time is assured the regis
trant.>
It would not cost these people any
thing to register. Only few moments
of their time in filling out a card is re-
| quired. They seem to forget that the ba-
reau could perhaps be of considerable
help to them later on. and that even II
| they do procure position on their own
account they would probably be Offered
| something better later on thru the ef-
forts of the bureau.

the Emperor Ohio I gave it to his brother,
Bruno archbishop of Cologne, who divided It
into two parts, upper Lorraine, between the
Rhine, Saone and Meuse rivers, and lower Lor-
raine, between the Rhine Meuse and Scheldt
The lower part then received the name OF the
Dutchy Of Brabant and fell to the rule OF the
Duke Of Burgundy and afterwards to AUSTRIA,
finally becoming part of Belgium. Upper Lor-
raine was ruled for centuries by dynasty OF It's
own, but generally under either French or Ger
man influence and protection. In 1888 it was
conquered by France in the Polish war OF sue
cesson, and few years later Stephan ~, the
husband of Maria Theresa, of Austria, exchanged
his claims for it for the grand duchy OF Ius-
cany and it was given to Stanislaus, ex-king of
Poland, who was out of job as king just then,
but was father-in-law to Louis XIV, king OF
France. at that time. When Stanislaus died IN
1866 it fell to France, and by them was ceded TO
Germany as war indemnity in 1871 In all these
changes it has had a good many rectlflcatlons
of frontier so that it is quite apparent that there
is room for any amount of argument as to what
constitutes the true frontier of Lorraine II 1t
is to be based on historical instead OF raclal
lines. The door is thrown wide open for pretty
near any amount of annexation If that line OF
claim is adopted.

IDAHO DECLARES
WAR ON RODENTS

The farm bureaus OF Is counties In
Idaho. in cooperation with the biologi-
cal survey of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, this year treated
o66. .06S acres of land with poisoned bait
to kill ground squirrels. According to
the estimates of the farmers benefited.
81. .16S.O74 worth Of crops were saved, at
a cost of $50. $40 In Bear Lake county,
following the squirrel-eradication cam
paign. the local bounty office recorded
the receipt of 136,500 squirrel tails. In
Bingham county one member of the
farm bureau reported he had received
S4a.74 bounty on the presentation of =
4s7 squirrel tails. These were killed by
the use of only S1.70 worth of stryehnine
and saccharine. He saved his crops be
sides. In Blaine county the farmers re
port saving of $40 for every dollar e1-
pended, and the county commissioners
have increased their appropriation for
this work of poisoning squirrels from
$500 for 1913 to $500 for 1919.

TRAVELETTE
BY N1KsAH.


The island Of Marker is one OF those
which are out off from the mainland by
the Zuyder Lee--the body of water
which constantly threatens the low coun-
tries with inudatiun.
The people of Marken are like the
inhabitants of a great many other small
islands that they lead isolated hves: but
there is probably no place in the world
where this isolation has been so long
ana SO complete as in Marken. 1t is said
that these people have not varied theif
customs manners and modes OF dress
in the last six centuries: and the fFst
! impression of the visitor makes hlni
think that he must have dropped back
thru the centuries into another age. Inc
men he sees wear wide baggy trousers
and short tight jackets with buttons as
big as small saueers. while each smokes
very long pipe. Bright scarlet bodices
| short but voluminius skirts are the ap'
! proved mode for women. Both sexes ane
! all ages wear enormous wooden shoes
| and the children are dressed exactly Ike
| the old folks.
A Marken islander almost never mar
| ries an outsider. Occasionally island so
ciety may be disturbed by the filtration
| of some daring Marken maiden with ;
| stranger from the mainland, Or alarmed
| by the threat of Marken youth t.
| bring a strange woman to hts home. Bu
usually the young rebel Is forced 3,
| public opinion to give over love in fayo
| of custom.
Fishing is the sole occupation of TIL
island. The boats come i'll every Sat
urday night. when all the women an'
children gather on the beach to weleom
the menfolk home. Then begins carni
eal Of feasting and visiting and merry
making which lasts until Sunday night
when the boats put out again for an
other week at sea.

Lane BETS SUIT
ON LEAGUE WIN
Secretary Of the Interior
Confident Republican SEN
ators VIII Support 1t.

Secretary OF the Interior Lane be-
leves the league OF nations will bring
him new spring suit
He is so confident that Senator
Lodges round robin signed by thir-
ty-nine Senators, will fail to defeat
the league covenant that he has bet
a St Paul friend a suit Of clothes
that not thirty Senators will vote
against the peace treaty and the
league Of nations
Lane attributes great importance to
the fact that former Attorney Gen.
eral Wickersham went to Paris an
opponent OF the league and came
back a strong supporter.
When such a conservative, thought
full man as George W. Wickersham,
former Attorney General. comes back
from Paris after observing the Peace
Conference, and declares that the
league is imperative, you can count on
it that other men as thoughtful and
conservative will come to the same
view" Lane said yesterday.
Mr.. Wickersham went to Paris IN
Clined to oppose the league and doubt
full concerning the American delega-
ton. He Is a Republican through and
through. He did not follow the Pro-
gressive party when Roosevelt broke
with the Republicans.
He undoubtedly talked with Pre-
mier Orlando in his own tongue and
Premier Clemenceau in his. His con-
version to the league will result. In
the support Of the league by ma
iority of the Republican Senators,
feel assured.
His experiences and the advantage
he had in getting closeup view of
the peace proceedings, together with
his thorough knowledge of interna-
tiOnal law. give great weight to Mr..
wickersham's opinion. I predict that
his conversion will be the conversion
OF many Of the men who signed the
round robin at the close of the re-
cent session Of Congress"
