ONCE II you worked there. In other
words, II you are not of the makeup
tnat makes you somebody In your fac
tory, or your union. then in an Office
you probably would stay indefinitely in
a small Job and never make much
money
1t is possible that your work
would be pleasanter, but I do not be-
Iieve that your hours would be
shorter. In fact. they might be
longer.
Years ago. when I was teaching Eng
Ilsn IN the evening for the Women's
Trade Union League OF New York. a
girl who came to my class worked in
factory making underwear. She
was an extremely good worker and was
earning about twenty-one dollars a
week, at that time good wages. It
would amount to about thirty-five now.
But she hated factory work and was
determined to become an Office worker.
AS she spoke almost no English. to be-
come stenographer was a stuDendous
undertaking for her. She had to
learn English, she had to learn stenog-
raphy. typing and American business
cuStoms-indeed, she had to become a
different person altogether. She stuck
1t out.
1t took her about three years. and
then she got job in an office for ten
dollars week. Thinking she might
do. better away from New York. she
went to the Middle West. ard the last
l heard OF her she was earning twelve
dollars week as sterographer.
Imagine the privations she suffered.
Many day she did not have enough
to eat She was a fine girl. But I
wish she could talk to Frances.
For me, I'd advise Frances to take
a course In English. or drawing. or
music, or something that will give her
artistic expression aside from her
work.

You are up against the usual situa-

work in an office that it is easier to

heavily for the chance to say that they

THE ARNOT VERDICT

The straight out, clean cut and courageous editorial opinion on
the farcfcal Arnot verdict of the Glasgow Courier is the object of en-
thusiastic commentator in Glasgow, Valley county and among her
neighbors. Charity, discretion and all that is fine, but there is a limit
situation. Here's our congratulations to Editor Hooking, who said in
part:
Despite the fact that a jury of twelve mel concurred in a verdict
on last Thursday evening that Mrs. Anna Arnot was insane, the editor
Of this paper, who sat through and heard practically every part of the
testimony introduced throughout the long two weeks of the trial, and
who has known the defendant for the past seventeen years, is firmly
convinced that she Is not insane now, never has been, and perhaps has
a keener intellect than anyon in the courtroom during the trial We
gay this in all sincerity and believe that the opinion is concurred by
SO per cent of the people who heard the testimony at the trial " y
And now in the face of an insanity verdict by the jury, we find an
organized line of propaganda advocating that the case be dismissed
because we can't get a conviction anyway" and decrying the cost of
another trial.
AS one of the law-abiding commonwealths of these great United States
Valley county owes a debt to herself to see that this case is prosecuted
to its absolute conclusion. In justice to all the case should be stred
to the very bottom and, If it is humanity possible, the guilty party or
parties convicted.

While a large over-appropriation
for the biennium was anticipated
in preliminary figures-approxi-
mately $3.50, 000-Lieut. Gov. F. A.
Hazelbaker issued a statement in
which he declared there would be
something like $4,000 left over at
the end of the biennium.
The anticipated revenues for the
next biennium by years are 81
1O1,130 and S2,O5 $50, according
to figures compiled by the board
OF equalization. The lowered re-
venue is anticipated because of
the industrial curtailment which
had affected Montana's mines, re-
fineries and manufacturers.
Lieut.. Gov. Hazelbaker, howev-
er, holds no brief with these fig
ures. He said: "The average earn
ings for the past four years has
been little over $2,450,000. This
would appear, everything consid-
cred, that there is no valid reason
for the figures anticipated in the
future"
One item of the anticipated de-
crease in state revenues, corpora
tion license tax, alone amounts to
$~275,000 annually, the board of ed
ualization pointed out.
Only one new source Of revenue
vas provided by the present legis-
lature, which killed with deadly
routine numerous proposals which
would have increased state funds;
this was an amendment to the
workmen's compensation bill pro-
viding that insurance companies

State Veterans
Making Poppies

Helena, Mont.-Veterans at the
U. 8. hospital, Fort Harrison, are
making the $4,000 paper flowers
to be used In Montana when the
American Legion auxiliary holds
its annual Poppy Day" campaign
beginning May %.
Heretofore, the poppies we're
purchased outside the state at a
cost of $25 per 1000. This year
the project has furnished a bit of
employment for about 80 men at
the hospital, who receive five
cents for each four flowers made.
The money from sales is used
by the Legion auxiliary for child
welfare and rehabilitation work.
