Washington, June 1S.-Missouri o n
tinues to be a center of a furious fem
mime ferment over the candidacy of
Senator James A. Reed for renomina-
ton in the democratic primaries.
Women now are. lining up for or
against the senator regardless of party
lines. The latest cause for feminine
agitation is the action of the Missouri
League of Women Voters in condemn
ing Reed and endorsing Breckenridge
Long for the nomination.
Inrruding upon a family affairs
the way the democratic women voice
their resentment of the leagues action.
Both the friends and enemies of Reed
among the women in the democratic
party believe they should be allowed
to handle their Reed problem without
Interference from women outside the
party.
Reed is a national figue who strange
~ interests women voters all over the
country. He might be termed the
cave man. of politics so far as women
are concerned. He has batted woman
on the head figurarively-with his sar-
castle bludgeon. and dragged her about
the floor of the senate by the hair.
And yet-perhaps it is the primal in
stinct in women coming to the fore
some Of the staunchest supporters of
Reed are women.
He was the most vituperative OPP
ponent of suffrage. He ridi-
culed the maternity bill with all his
powers as a master of invective and
sarcasm. He referred virulently to the
'old maids in the children's bureau
who would tell the mothers of the coun-
try how to raise children Though
women bitterly hold all these things
against him. somehow their admiration
for his courage. his electrifying logic,
the sheer intelligence of the man. tops
the a%ntagonism naturally aroused in
them BY his opposition to the sex and
their pet bills.
Condemnation of the action of the
Missouri League of Woman Voters in
openly opposing Reed in the primary
fight has come. therefore. from all
quarters of the United States.

dent committeewoman at the Washing

with a membership composed of both
democrats and republicans. 1t does
not mean anything for n BIZ partisan or
ganization to take an action of this
kind. because it cannot promise sup
port if the candidate Endorsed is chosen
at the primaries. 1t is merely hutting
into a family affair. One of the ad-
vantages of being in q party is in hav-
ing a voice in selecting candidates.

operation since 1917.
Preliminary reports on the employ
ment situation during June. made to
the department of commerce and labor.
Indicate that unemployment has almost
wholly disappeared. Exceptions are
made in certain lines. notably clerical
workers and industries in which a
strike is in progress. In the coal in
dustry. however. non-union mines. ex-
cept in Alabama. are working at rec
ord capacity. In one single West Vir-
GINA county so much coal IS beng

money therefor. if equally apportioned.
would furnish 500 q week for every
mine employe in the county.
The automobile industry, a bit htsi-
tant two months ago. is out to smash
it's own best record and the under"ur-
rent of sentiment is to the effect that
prices on some well known makes will
advance before the end of the summer.
Manufacturers in the industry are hav-
ing to bid against other industries for
high grade labor for the first time nov
within two years and as a result costs
of construction are showing an increase
and the entire industry. with here and
there an exception, is working over
time.
Crop Conditions Good
The general condition OF crops as
forecast BY the department of agri-
culture is such as to afford satisfac-
ton to the farmer, the department as
serts. Indications are that he will re-
ceive a much higher price for his pro-
duet next harvest time than he has
at any time during the past two years.
Farm products. according to the de-
partment's chart. advanced three points
during May.

though not q halt-is expected when
the new freight rates go into effect
two weeks from today. The reduc-
ton, it is estimated at railroad quar-
ters, will approximate about $50 a Tam
lily during the wear.
A spectacular drop in gold imports
during May to less than S9,OOO.O00
helped ease the prospect of initiation.
The amount of money or deposit with
leading banks is we'll established above
the IL billion dollar mark which it
crossed recently. and because of the
lessened demand for loans. interest
rates have shown a further tendency
to soften during the week.

Still cheaper money is in prospect.

thereby touch a low record for the

Article No. 80

In this series of articles we have most fully
explained what Efficiency Engineering means.
In article No. ~, I published the ten principles
upon which we operate. Nearly everyone
knows what is being accomplished for our first
clients-the Wood & Stafford Company and the
Charles E. Norris Stationery Company. We
have said enough. The order now is action.
We have been operating the Wood & Stafford
Company for nearly three months. The sue
cess of that company is now assured and be-
ginning with this present month of June the
Wood & Stafford Company will go forward by
leaps and bounds.
We are just beginning with Mr.. Morris COM
pany but very soon We shall have much to say
of what that company is doing.
The almost miraculous results accomplished
for the Wood & Stafford Company are things
done. Time and again have we done the SEEM
ingly impossible.
And how few know how great and unreas-
enable my difficulties have been! Many has
been the time when | felt so used up that
there seemed nothing to do but go nome and
go to bed. And then someone would say some
thing to me that would make me feel like
giving him a thrashlng on the spot and by the
time | was through with him | was all toned
up again and ready anew for the battle.
Now this somewhat d~esultory article has a
purpose. If one thousand progressive citizens
who possess some real civic patriotism, have
the courage of their convictions, and will act
will just get together-we can make of Great
Falls the most prosperous small city in Amer
lea. We can make prosperity one expression of
the Great Falls idea.
The Montana Organization and Develop
nent Company affords the means of just that
result. Now let us act.

Farmers Protest

Farmers protest that bus company
parties roam through their growing
crops as if they owned them. and vii
layers declare that they cannot sleep
for the noise of the big cars and the
merrymaking of the visitors. There is
a veritable feud between city and coun-
try. Town councils are thinking up
new and more annoying road regula-
ons and farmers drawing up lists of
damage done; but the bus lines grow
steadily. While a convention of edu-
Gators in Paris was listening to a pub

Since the League of Women Voters
seems to be fighting about for some
thing to do, it has been suggested that
it might study the problem of eliminat-
ing huge campaign expenses. Under
the present primary system politics is

Rhode Island League of Women Voters
thinks it has found a remedy for the

it is so complicated that when one
has finally mastered it one feels en-

Virtually all lines of commodities are the subject of these

manufactured articles generally are reported up in price, both
