Surplus wheat and other products

SURPRISES must be found abroad-in
Europe. And the only way these mar

ing u surplus products and raw ma

Europe. Europe cannot eat our wheat
because those people have nothing to
pay for it excepting their goods. Pos
sfbly such exchange would curtail en-
ployment in some of the manufactur-
ing centers of the Atlantic seaboard,
but this would be recompensed in part
by cheaper goods for everybody in
America, including the factory work
ers themselves.

TARIFF BUNK FOR THE FARMER

President Coolidge while express
ing sympathy in his message for tbs
farmers, especially those dependent
on the wheat crop, felt constrained tc
say that the government could do lit
tie to help them and that they must
help themselves.
mo complicated scheme of relief
he said, mo plan Of government fixing
of prices, no resort to the public treas
ury will be Of any permanent relief
in establishing agriculture. Simple
and direct methods put into operation
by the farmer himself are the only
real sources for restoration. Diver
~srfication, organization, cooperative
marketing, possibly reduction Of acre
age, were some of the means he sug-
gested.
Senator Capper, head of the farm
bloc, in his weekly also says that mo
patent medicine would reach the spot"
No cure-all to be applied on govern
ment prescription would end the
farmers troubles. He, too, says:
The biggest part of the job must be
done by the farmer himself through
the extension and further develop
ment of cooperative marketing and
through the diversification of crops"
Other groups, representing both ma
tional and state republican admins
trations, however, are urging as a
panacea an increase in the tariff
against Canadian wheat, apparently
quite oblivious to the fact that the
price of wheat finally is fixed by the

U. VETERANS AS COLLEGE PROFESSORS

1t is a rather striking coincidence
that two disabled veterans, both resi-
dents of Montana. who completed pro-
fessional courses in the University of
Montana last spring under the super
vision of the u. S. Veterans Bureau,
should have been appointed to posi-
tons upon the faculty of the institu-
ton from which they had so recently
graduated, and within a few months
Of the time when they had been reha-
bilitated.
These appointments constitute a
fine recognition upon the part of the
University authorities Of the charac-
ters and ability of these men. and the
excellence of their work while under
going rehabilitation.
At the time of his enlistment, John
Aiva Rees was a law student at the
Montana State University. He at
tanned the rank of first sergeant dur

Ia the fall Of 1918 he was wounded in

GREATNESS OF MONTANA

First in the production Of silver
precious stones, manganese and cleo
tricity, holder Of the record for the
production per acre in oats, potatoe:
and hay, and second in a whole lot OF
crops. with coal and oil and copper
and iron and zinc and silver and pre-
cious stones pouring forth from her
mountains and plains and with agri-
culture and livestock production
greater in value than the wealth of
her mines, Montana certainly is the
land of a promising future.
Recently the New York Herald ear
ried some very interesting statistics
and data regarding the Treasure state
showing the greatness Of Montana.
Discussing her wealth the Herald
said:
Montana coal fields are third larg-
est in the United States and V
1852 square miles, according to the
United States geological survey, or
an area obout the size of Virginia or
Ohio.
The most valuable graphite deposit
in the United States and perhaps in
the world is in Beaverhed county,
Montana.
Montana produces more precious
stones than all the rest Of the country
and has maintained this position since
1911.
Montana produces more manganese
than any other state.
One-fifth Of the country's total pro-
duction Of zinc comes from Silver
Bow county, Montana.
Montana is the leading silver pro-
state in the country. 1t ranks
third in the production Of copper and
zinc.
Montana is the second largest
spring wheat producing state in the
and farming is just getting
under way. In total wheat it ranked
fifth.
Over the three-year period of 1920
1922, according TO the United States
Department of Agriculture, 74.4 per
,ent of sMontana's total spring wheat
,rop graded No. /. Wyoming ranged
with 59.4 per cent and all
,ther states under 40 per cent.
More public lands we're patented in
Montana in 1921 than in any other
Montana oil fields have more com
n~ercial wells and fewer busters than
ii other states except California. In
900 Montana and Wyoming fields had
he highest daily production of any
ields.
The civilian rehabilitation board of
he federal board of vocational edu-
says Montana's civilian reha-
ilitation work classes it in a group of
light outstanding statesvM

reduction per acre Of staple crops,
r~ontana outranked the leading crop {
1t ranked first on oats, pota-
,es and hay.
Montana has more miles of e~lectri- a
ed railroad than any other state. 2
Only three states have a larger in b
allied capacity of hydro-electric pow Z
than Montana. j
Montana people are the largest {
,ers per capita of hydro-electric |

SAMMS FAMILY HAVE INTEREST
ING TRIP TO COAST POINTS

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Samms ani
children arrived at home Tuesday
evening from a two weeks automo-
bile trip to coast points, taken as a
combined pleasure and business trip
Mr.. Samms visiting the markets at
Portland and Seattle to make furni-
ture purchases. At Portland he pur-
chased a carload of furniture and
some local shipments, for the Mos
COW trade.
The trip was made south over the
Columbia highway. From Portland
Mrs. Samms and the children drove
to Salem, for a short visit with rela-
tives, while Mr.. Samms was trans
acting business. The drive to Tacoma
was made over the detour which was
reported bad, but which, Mr.. Samms
says, is not any worse than the ordi-
nary Pa1ouse road. At Seattle the
Is battleships, which were at that
place to greet President Harding,
were inspected, and this, Mr.. Samms
states, was especially worth while.
The people on the coast are re-
ported to be in a hopeful frame of
mind, with business good, especially
in the cities, and with pretty near
everybody familiar with the Palouse
country and commenting on the won
derful wheat crop over here.
Mr.. Samms said that after the
drive across central Washington,
the heat, the Idaho wheat
fields looked mighty fine.

TWO EASTERN AUTO MECHAN-

William Huffman and Jack Fisher,
of Tracy, Minnesota, experienced
automobile mechanics, arrived in
Moscow Tuesday driving overland,
and Wednesday morning went to
work in local garages, Huffman as
superintendent of the Hugo Motor
company shop, and Fisher as shop
foreman in the Sullivan & Reilly
Ford garage. The two men are
friends of W. L. Hedge, salesman for
the Ford garage, and through Mr..
Hedge were interested in the west,
The two easterners said that the
west did not appeal to them until
they got into the wheat belt below
Spokane, and by the time they reach
ed Moscow they were convinced that
the Inland Empire is the greatest
place on earth.

5000 owners, operators and mining
engineers are expected to be in at

Although mining men appreciate
the unwisdom of breaking down the
immigration barriers entirely, they
feel there should be no abridgement
of opportunity in the United States
for effective labor and for selecting
the right type of immigrant, accord
ing to officials Of the organization.
A national movement for industrial
cooperation between employer and
employe in mining enterprises also is
to be launched here. Ways and
means of assisting employees in main
tanning proper standards of living al
so will be discussed.
The United States bureau of mines
and the geological survey will parti-
cipate in the exposition, and the min
ing states of California, Colorado, and
Utah will exhibit displays of their
mine resources and equipment.
Additional emphasis will be placed
on the use of labor saving machinery
and equipment in mining enterprises.

WANT MEN IN HARVEST FIELDS
CHAMBER COMMERCE, FARMERS
UNION TAKE UP LABOR PROBLEM

/ The Moscow chamber of commerce
and the Moscow Farmers Union will
cooperate in an endeavOr to help the
Latah county farmer solve his har-
vest labor problem, by maintaining
an employment agency. The matter
of harvest help was brought up at
the meeting of the chamber of COM
merce Wednesday, and after some dis
cussion, in which A. H. Oversmith,
c. L. Jain, John Naylor, and Guy
Wolfe took part, the following re-
solution was offered by Mr.. Over
smith and unanimously adopted:
"Be it resolved by the chamber of
commerce of MOSCOW, Idaho, that
Whereas, the Palouse country is
now harvesting one of the largest
crops of grain in its history, and
Whereas, in order to harvest,
thresh and conserve such crop a
large amount of labor will be re-
quired:
"Now therefore, be it resolved, that
the Moscow Chamber of Commerce
request, that as far as practicable all
public work and other operations be
postponed until after the harvest sea-
son, and that the MOSCOW Chamber
Of Commerce and its membership lend
every assistance possible for the pur
pose of assisting the farmers to con-
serve their crops"
Farmers needing help and men who
are willing to work, are asked to call
IN the Farmers Union, at the store,
On South Main street, or to get in
communication with B. G. Rowe, sec
retary of the chamber of commerce,
at his office in the Urquhart build
ng, telephone 140.
Mr.. Rowe wishes it stated that he |
will be glad to give much of his |
ime during the harvest season to
the farmer and the laborer |
ogether, so that there will be as /
title delay as possible in harvesting
he crop. Copies of the chamber of
commerce resolution have been
nailed to the Potlatch Lumber COM
ANY, commissioners of highway dis
ricts and other employers of men.
