UOMANPROBLEM
WORRY

New York. Feb. 2S.-The Salvation
Army in the British Isles, working in
cooperation with the government is
promoting emigration of the approx
mateIy 100000 women in excess of
the male population there, Commits
sioner David c. Lamb. London foreign
secretary of the Army on a mission to
the United States has announced here.
Spinsterhood or emigration is the
fate of these women, the commissioner
asserted. adding:
We offer no apology for active
propaganda designed to procure a
better distribution OF the sexes. Tnere
are a million and a quarter more
the war tasks assigned the Salvation
Army in Britain is to stimulate female
emigration and direct it to those COL
onies in the British Empire such as
western Canada and portions of Africa
and Australia where there are more
male than female inhabitants. The
prospect of placing female domestics
in the United States has not been
overlooked.
The Salvation Army has des-
patched several shiploads of emf
grants to Canada already. We help
them make arrangements to leave the
old country. provide transportation
when necessary and through our
world wide organization see to it Inat
the emigrants are safely settled in the
new land.
Our records show that of the girls
who emigrated some years ago to
certain sections where women We're
in the minority, co per cent. were mar
ried within three years of their ar
rival This fact and the opportunities
for work at good wages in other lands
are not without significance to the
tens of thousands of thoughtful and
cnte~prising women in the British
Isles"
Other after the war conditions IN
the British Isles included the virtual
disappearance of the vagrant, and the
shortage of agricultural labor due in
part to the wartime cultivation of more
than 100000 acres of grass land,
Commissioner Lamb said.
The success or failure of local op-
tiou" in Scotland will furnish good
indication on the prospects Tor pro-
hibition in the Isles, he said, adding
that the probabilities are that the
public houses will go in many parts
of Scotland.
In Great Britain as a whole, how
ever, the tendency is toward re-
struction on the sale of liquor in public
houses-corresp ponding to the Amer
lean saloons-and continuation OF hml-
tation as to hours This makes for
temperance rather than prohibition.
However, much they may scott Eng
lish brewers are taking the prohibition
threat much more seriously than they
are willing to admit, and are spending
large sums in counter-p -propasanu
They are obviously worried
Everybody is waiting to analyze the
results of nation wide prohibition in
the United States"

One of the lightestt votes ever cast
over the county was polled Tuesday at
the Primary election. A blizzard tila /
started the day before ragged all day
Tuesday and made it impossiable for
the people in the country to get out
to vote. County Auditor R. w. Brown
son estimated that nearly fourth of
the pools in the county were not open

The report is that the towns polled
about the usual vote, although the
official returns are in from only three
precincts, Washburn, Garrison and

Yellow Stone Breaks
Water Expected Sunday

John, ,Starbuck, local manager of the
Benton Packet Co. received te'e.
gram Thursday from Glendive, Mont.
stating the the Yellow Stone. River
had broke at $3.50 P. M: Monday and
it waters "a feet high were rushing
down into the Missouri River.
The water is. expected to reach here
Saturday evening or Sunday unless
a gorge fills us with fee and holds
the; water back. 1t is hard to say
just what the results will be after the
high waters reach the frozen Missouri.
The water may run over the surface
or it may brake up the ice on the river
and carry it along with it. In evert
that it does the latter it will be more
destructive, as the ice has not had
chance to become honey-combed and
rotten The solid ice will cause more
jams and force the high waters out
over the bottoms.

we do not think 1t advisable to put
poison in anything but first class

Gopher Days" but we hope that the
farmers will all go after the gophers
>as soon as they come out in the spring
and then when Gopher Day" comes
there will be only a few If any left.
We are doing our best to give you
the poison early and we are starting
the mixing demonstrations, March Is.
Due to the fact that the gopher
poison will not dry as fast at this
time of the year as if it was mixed
later we suggest that it be carefully
watched for. few days so that it
will not mould. Turning the sack
up side down and shaking it every
now and then will probably help.

dates is given and I hope to see eacl,

tons.
