Washington Letter
BY HERBERT C. PLUsrsIER

WASHINGTON, May 2i.-Uncle Sam is never more
wide awake or more vigilant than when he is engaged
in making paper money for distribution to the Amer
lean people.
AT the present he Is especially on the lookout. For
over at the bureau of engraving and printing thou
sands Of men and women are working at top speed
turning out literally millions of bank notes to replace
those now in circulation. It Is a tremendous task TO
keep track Of every bill that Is printed. to say nothing
of having to account for every inch Of paper used In
their manufacture.
But It must be done. There Is a dollar in the Unit
ed States treasury for every 81 bill issued. and the two
must tally regardless.

ROCK -A-FELLER INFLUENCE

l have been watching the trend of American industrial af- fairs, recently and have noticed that in every labor disturbance involving 9 contest for a decent living condition, fair wage and the right to organize, labor has always met the pitiless opposi- ton of the Rockefeller inter ests. There is no corner of Am erica that one time or other has not felt the crushing force of Rockefeller dollars and despite 2ll the Bible-reading and aims giving of it's owners, it bids fair 10 become the greatest threat to this form of government.

WE STILL GET ROBBED"
By Vera L Connolly In Good Housekeeping

All day we had been rushing by motor through the awful grandeur of the New Mexico De- sert. Overhead, like a glittering 5owl, arched the blue sky Against it in the West hung in credible masses of flaming cloud The heavens were ablaze.
 Gradually the sunset faded. The hush oI twilight descended. lin q world of terrible, still beauty we were the only moving IoDjects. Yet one had no sense Iof aIoneness. For the desert was Ipeopled with strange shapes. IThey thrOnged about us-jagg- i ed, precipitous buttes tortured Unto fantastic f0rfs by centuries Of wind and sun.
 At last we were on the Navajo Reserva tion. We began to come upon evidences of human life. Fl0cks of sheep. And here and l there 9 solitary Navajo hut l"hogan"- made of logs and mud, with a fire blazing before it.
 Presently the Navajos com- fenced to pass us on horseback, lin twos and threes. Some were Isnouting and driving their sheep. |Othrs logged along wearily with Ibridles clinking.
 The men wore shabby, soft Ihued blouses, silver belts, long
 turquoise earrings, and colored bands around their heads. The vonen were in faded velvet bas-
 ques of once brilliant colors, G.
 yard cotton skirts of contrasting IhUeS, and many strings of na- Live jewelry. Bizarre as gypsies

Rumors to this effect mad reached us on the Atlantic seaboard; and the editor of Good Housekeeping had sent me west to six different States, to talk to the Indians themselves. That is why I was on the Navajo Reser- vation that night.

 We need more land" said one. We have not enough range for our sheep"
 But, first, we need water lholes," urged another. Our lambs are dying. We will lose many lambs this year. Water we must have"
 All agreed with this. There was a chorus of "Ho!" meaning yes"
 Maybe" said an old man
 the government will give us lbetter stock to build up OUT uocks? Our sheep ara not good We are poor. It is hard to live. , (There are some 35,OOO Navaj03

PROBLEM OF PROHIBITION
By JAMES R. LITTLE

lem which prohibition, as a na- Itional edict, has produced? That
 there is a problem is evident. Where there is so much smoke
 there must be fire" The agita-
 tation that has existed during
 the past six or seven years, that
 exists now, and the increased intensity of it as time goes on,
 mean something. They mean a
 iot. The results accruing from
 1Iio 18th Amendment and the
 VOlstead Act are either good or bad. 1t is not enough to say ! that results, from an economic view, arc good-and that may be questioned. We must ask, what are the results from the stand point of good morals? That is what counts. The economic side {5 nil as compared with that of Ir0od morals. The mainten- lance of good morals is vital to civilization itself. To preserve good morals we call into reQuisi-
 ton the laws of nature (G0d'S LaWs) and the Civil is made by man. The most vital Of these laws are Gods Laws because
 they are fundamental. They are 1 the basis Of all law. Any thing which tends to undermine the laws of God, the fundamentals IS not only bad but vicious. Mur-
 Ger, theft, arson, perjury, etc. are crimes against God and arc
 prohibited by His direct com mandment.

It is notorious that during th2 past several years the above manned crimes have fourished land grown in this country as never before in our history They have grown to such pro- portions that 3 great cry has arisen for something to be done 70 arrest their progress, "The Icrinle wave" as it affects our Ecountry is Q situa Cion.

And this organization is So great i as to defy the local and govern
 ment officials of this country, And this identical situation is
 found in every city of our land.
 The passage of, and attempt
 to enforce, a civil law prohibi- ton has brought in it's wake 3
 situation which threatens the
 breakdown of the very funda- Imentals-the basic laWs-t h Q , laws of God, Himself, in 9 weak

Every Crossroad in
County to be Marked

Finding high favor with the board
of county commissioners, the plan spon-
sored by the Beartooth Boosters club
for the complete marking of all roads
in the county, will be undertaken by
the commissioners Immediately. Such
was the report of the secretary, 0. H.
P. Shelley, made to the Boosters club
at its meeting Monday evening.
The matter of the road signs was
presented to the commissioners during
their August meeting in session last
week. They were unanimous in their
approval of the clubs action of calling
the matter to heir attention, Mr..
Shelley reported.
Many roads of the county already
bear markers The commissioners
now will work toward completing the
job, erecting suitable signs at all
crossroads not already marked, where
confusion can easily arise. The mark
ers will point to the nearesst town,
and indicate distances.

ALFALFA ACREAGE SHOWS
INCREASE OVER STATE

Montana has between $4,000 and
10000 acres of certified alfalfa this
year, an increase of about 1000 acres
over 1928 and enough to make mat
erial showing with the shortage of
other feed crops, according to L. d..
kurtz, state extension agronomist.
This acreage of alfalfa represents
about SIS growers, also an increase
of about 40 in the last year, indicating
in opinion Of Mr.. Kurtz, a tendency
toward less grain and more feed
crops for livestock
Certified alfalfa is that which has
been passed upon by the state as
free from foreign crops and weeds
While there is around 10000 acres of
certified alfalfa, this does not repre-
sent the entire acreage of alfalfa in
the State, much being planted that
is not submitted for certification.

Hunters Take To

The five day open season upon sage

The shooting of all native upland
birds for the year 1929, to prevent
undue depletion.
Two factors were considered by the
state Fish and Game commission in
giving sportsmen the five day sea-
son on sage hens and sage grouse.
Protected through several years of
closed seasons, they are sufficiently
plentiful to allow Of some shooting.
Bags are limited TO five birds daily.
The other reason was that in the
closed seasons, the birds have shown
tendency to get lazy and tame, not
mingling much with other flocks of
their kind, and so bringing about a
condition of inbreeding apt to lead to
disease and inferior birds. Hunting
scatters the flocks and forces the
birds back to their more natural habi-
