Grafton, by the city officials. 1t was
expected that bids would be adver-
tised for at once in order that the
work could be started early this

The departure of Mr.. Evanson and
the failure OF the road plans to arrive
halted preparations for an active
business session this noon, with the
result that the commissioners con-
.vened and informally discussed busi-
ness matters of a trivial nature.

PROGRAM
= HAS BEEN SUGGESTED

That the annual spring cleanup
both in and out Of doors-might be
done. by the heads Of needy families,
thus providing needed employment, il
the suggestion Of Mrs. e.. NJ: Pierce,
social, service commissioner. Mrs.
Pierce points out that while she is re-
ceiving applications from out of town
for a number Of girls and men work.
ers. this does not solve the problem
of finding employment for widows and
men with families. who return to their
homes at night: !
The greater number OF the calls for
women workers come from, farmers
who do not care to employ women
with children. yet it is the latter class
of. women who are most in need of
work. Mrs. Pierce states. Men with no
family ties likewise are In more de-
:mand than married men, for work on
farms, ETC.. Mrs. Pierce finds, but in
view of the fact that it is the men
with dependents who are most in need
of employment. Mrs. Pierce believes
that the odd jobs which the arrival
of: spring usually makes necessary,
should be given preferable to the mar
ried mem. She asks that persons hav-
ing work Of this nature which they
wish to have done. telephone her Of
flee, and she will supply persons to do
the- work. ~ ...

ESOM G. MAYFIELD /,
BACK FROM MONTANA.
TELLS OF OIL BOOM

Esom G.tMayfeld.' former superin-
tendent OF schools at Emerado, but
who since his return from overseas has
been representing the Colborn Co.
throughout the northwest, returned
today from Havre. Mont. which he
describes as the widest town on the
map"
The oil boom is on in full blast in
the vicinity of Havre, Mr.. Mayf1eld
states, and thousands of men have
f1ocked to that district from all sec
tons Of the country. Last year Mr..
Mayfield visited the oil districts in
Oklahoma and other points in the
south, but declares that the rush to
the fields down there was not Q bit
greater than h clamor for holdings
in the Montana districts. r.
Weather conditions in Montana are
ideal. Mr.. Mayfield said. The Chinook
winds have carried away all of the
snow and real spring and almost sum
mer weather prevails.
