1t is rumored that the announced
budget plan when applied, will squeeze
much of the milk out of the Milk
River project.
This will be the blow that killed
father, to the large aggregation of
gentlemen, who for almost a score of
years have made the project an ex-
perimental station, finishing school
and playground. Hereafter life to
them will be more real, and there will
be no more chances taken with sport
ing results in matters that should be
settled by simple arithmetic.
Tradition is that the service has
improved in recent years, to an extent
that the old days seem like dreams.
One looks back to the days of a de-
cade or more ago, before sport was
restricted by any idea of service; be-
fore any nj foolishly thought that
the project would we be used to han
die water. That was then a wild
dream even for a government engin-
eer.
Misty traditions are related of the
service, telling of the care-free life
of the good old days. They were days
of real sport too, We'll tell the world,
Fables tell of a wild and elusive Sec
ton corner that ranged up near Malta,
and every engineer on the job was
keen to stalk it and mark it for his
own; old head after old head had tried
in vain, some thought they had it, and
dreamed the dream of glory and mar
tial music, and allowed their heads to
knock out the stars for a few days,
only to wake up and find that another
had found it elsewhere. There were
few repeaters and no bulls eyes; none
in all the handsome and scientific
throngs could run the same line twice,
At one time the contest waxed warm
and three engineers were sent to sur
round and spot the errant corner from
different directions; the sport was
keen and the bets many; but none OF
them found it and all bets were off
Under the rules on one could use ole
stakes so that the immediate land.

stakes, that the pursuit had to be
abandoned, and old wives say that the
corner still wanders around out there
in the moonshine.
There was method in all this too, fol
everytime a new location was made
a large force of office men was neces
sary to correct the records to CORES
pond, and many a poor man was thu
kept alive during the hard winters O.
those years. Also the stakes wer'
corded up and hauled off by the set
tiers and hardy pioneers pulle'
through with the aid of the fuel thu
inadvertently donated by Uncle Sam.

the passing years, there have bee

the pump erected this year. No woman
should be compelled to use a wash OF
bread par for dirty clothes, or t'

boiler in the cabin, and ironing poaros

out of place. This much, at least
=, should be added for next season. And

The only field into which they would

more fortunate these 1900, 900 would

REDUCED
 WAGES JUSTIFIED
(RY United Press :;

Chicago, April P. - Arguments against the reduction of railroad wages were presented to the federal labor board today by w. Jett Lauck, economist employed by the unions. MT. Lauck argued that reduction in the cost of living is no reason why the wages of rail workers should be slashed. He took the position that general price reductions should lower the cost of operating because coal, steel and other materials can be bought at reduced rates by the oper- ating companies.
 Facing the board with statistics, Mir. Lauck declared that falling prices would save American railroads $2,000,000 in coal bills and S4,000,000 in steel bills, during the coming yeax Since railroad purchases are made at wholesale figures, the economist argued that they should feel the re- duction much sooner than employers, who buy at retail prices. Wholesale prices decline much sooner than re- tail figures, he declared.

HOUSE 10 AID HARDING PLAN
 OF NEW PEACE
(By United Press

Washington, April 22.-With pas sage of the Knox resolution for sep arate peace practically assured in the senate, President Harding's second step will be to ask congress for au- thority to call an international con- ference on disarmament. A resolu- tion to this effect will be introduced in the house, the president having as sured Republican leaders that such action will not be considered an in trusion into the foreign relations ne- gotiations being conducted through the department of state.
 The Knox resolution is now in the hands of the foreign relations com mittee, and will be reported favorably to the senate as whole. The pres ident will then proceed with negotia- tion of peace with Germany, which must be ratified by the senate before becoming effective.
 Republican leaders regard the in- ternational conference on disarma- ment as logical step by President Harding before his administration sets to work on the formation of an association of nations. His associa- tion as outlined in his first message to congress will comprise the working basis of endeavor along this line, talk ing The Hague tribunal as the point from which a start is made.
