year after year he preached

We are not q thrifty people, a.

When the company for which he
worked was reoreanized ten
years ago, the president said to
him: "Have you n thousand

A thousand dollars put into

cities are married, according to the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board.
And this In spite of the fact that in
her latest official report Miss Mary
Anderson, director of the Woman's Blu
reau of the United States Department of
Labor, declares that married woman
workers face much prejudice and many
injustices, with periodic agitations
against permitting married women to
work at all.
She gives one reason for the rapid
shift to the two-earner standard when
she says that many married women are
now going to work because the wages Of
large numbers Of skilled and unSkilled
workers are below the health and de-
cency standard when there is only one
Garner to family.
So the percentage of married woman
workers Is constantly increasing. Young
women are saying to their fiances-even
making it condition of contract-that
they want to continue to work after
marriage, at least for a period of time.
They are pleading that they be per-
mitted to help make the start of mar
ried life less economically difficult.
Psychological dangers.
Fraught with psychological dangers as
this Is, because of the lessening of mans
traditional sense of economic RESPONSE
oility, young women are bravely choosing
this way as the practical modern solu-
ton of the grave difficulty which young
men experience today in reaching an
economic status satisfactory for marry
ing at time close enough to their natu-
raj mating period. Each decade the
age Of young mems economic maturity
seems to separate itself more widely

Atty. Mann Confer With Rankin
Indians May Sue County for False
Imprisonment.
Poplar, acknowledgements on
the contested road from the Wolf
Point bridge into Wolf Point, have
been so rapid during the week and
are now so unsettled that it is at
present impossible for anyone to say
Just where the matter stands. How
ever, indications are that the protests
of the Indian land owners and people
of the northeast section of the state
will finally result in the road being
constructed due north to the highway
as is generally admitted it should be.
A sudden turn of events was indi-
Gated this week when it was reported
that Supt. Eggers had reversed his
view of the controversy and granted

but it was promptly challenged by
the resident Indians who, acting upon
orders from Supt. Eggers, denied the
crew the right to proceed. Supt. Eg-
gers declares that he has granted no
permit for the completion of the dl-
agonal road. .,s
For some unknown reason Sherltt
Anderson was called to the scene OF
the would-be building activities and
arrested and placed in Jail the Indians
whose land the proposed road would
cross and who were standing pat "a
gainst the advance of the construc-
ton crew. Seven Indians, five men
and two women, were arrested ana
placed in Jail without warrants hav-
ing been issued.
The Indians promptly called p: Y.
Dwyer of this city, who was last
wear chosen as their tribal advisor,
and Mr.. Dwyer, Supt. Eggers and
Attorney Noun went at once to Won
Point to investigate. They demanded
the reelase of the seven people. Ihey
report that county officials tried to
bargain with them to agree not &c
bring suit against the county If the
release was granted. This the defend
ing parties refused to do, merely de.
handing that the Indians be released
which was done at once. There Is
possibility that suit may yet be bro
against the county for the lmprlson
ment without cause of these Indians
Definite information on the status
of this road will not be available un
til the last of this week. when Sup'

PRESIDENT SAYS SEN
ATE ACTION JEOPAR-
DIES FARM RELIEF

Washington, June 11.-President
Hoover late Tuesday issued a for
NAL statement asserting that Tues
days vote in the senate adds furth-
er delay to farm relief and may
gravely jeOpardize the enactment of
agricultural legislation.
Reiterating his opposition to the
export debenture plan MIR. Hoover
declared that cit will not bring
equality but bring further dis
parity to agriculture"
He added that immediate profits
to some spectators and disaster to
the farmer" would follow the en-
actment of this farm relief plan
The chief executive declared that
in rejecting the compromise farm
bill the senate had in effect reject
ed ga bill which provides for the
creation of the most important
agency ever set up in the govern
ment to assist an industry-the
proposed federal board, endowed
with extraordinary authority to re-
organize the marketing system in
the interest of the farmer; to sta
biIize his industry and to carry out
these arrangements in conjunction
with farm cO-Operatives, with cap
ital of S5O0,OOO,0O0 as an earnest
of the seriousness of the work"
The compromise bill. the president
said, carried out in every particular
the plan advanced by the republi-
can party in the recent presidential
campaign.
''Every other plan of agricultural
relief was rejected in that campaign
and this plan was one of the most
important issues in the principal ag-
ricultural states and was given as
a mandate by an impressive MAORI
ty i'm these states" the president
said.
Subsidies were condemned in the
course of the campaign and the SO
called debenture plan-that is thu
giving of subsidies on eXpOrts-wa'
not raised by either party nor b!
its proponents.

made to meet the many practice

been overwhelmingly condemned b,
