RUSSIA GOES TO WORK
From the Helena Independent


Whatever one may think of the economic
theories and political practices of the soviet
government of Russia, one cannot help admir-
ing the energy it has shown in putting it's
people to work. That, in reality, is the out
standing achievement of the soviet rulers.
Russia of the wooden age, the giant of straw,
a nation of shiftless, ignorant and hopeless
mujks, IS being transformed by work More
iron, more STEEL more machinery, more work,
are demanded by the Russian taskmasters.
Gigantic mills and factories some of them
the largest in the world, are under construc-
ton in Russia. HydrO-electric power plants,
steel mills, oil wells railroads, textile plants
and factories of all kinds are springing up in
the forests and on the deserts Russia is be-
ing moderniZed on a hitherto unknown scale
Along with willingness to work, the SOW
let has instilled in the Russian people desire
for knowledge Russia is going to school,
Backward peasants, nomads from Uzbekestan,
Kazakstan and Azerbaidshan workmen in the
cltles-men and women-are turning to books,
being taught the use of machinery, are tax
ing an interest in political meetings. libraries
and clubs.
Nobody, not even the soviet leaders them
selves, know where all this will lead Russia
but the observer cannot help being impressed
by it. Galvanizing the latent energies and
mentalties of one hundred and fifty million
people to feverish activity and a desire for
knowledge is no small accomplishment
The human side of the soviet program is
beginning to show results in the schools, col
leges and universities it has established, in
construction of model apartment houses. erec-
ton of theatres and recreational centers for
the people, establishment of savings banks and
the fostering of cultural and scientific institu-
tions.
Soviet leadership justifies the ruthlessness
that has characterized bolshevik policies as be-
ing necessary in the interest of ultimate COM
mon good to the greatest number Americans
are loath to accept that explanation, but then
Americans never were SO near a state of bar
barism as were the Russians decade ago. It
is possible they do not fully understand or ap-
preciate the magnitude of the soviet govern
ments task. At any rate, the observer must
admit the soviet plan is getting results along
certain lines which few could anticipate in the
beginning.

LIBRARY NOTES
Crowded out last week.

In spite of holiday festivities
and all the parties that accompany
the Christmas season, most people
seem to find time to read at least
an occasional book. Especially dur
ing school vacation, a large num-
Der of people, young and old avail
ed themselves of the privileges of
using books from the county libra
ry, with the result that the circu-
lation for the month of December
was even greater than that for
November. During December g.
116 books were given out from the
main library. This is a slight in
crease over the number given out
In November, and 243 more than
the number given out last year
during the same month.
A new branch, under the super
vision of Mr.. Leo Francis, was es-
tablished at Medicine Lake in De
cember. Mr.. Francis has the
books at his store, and library pa
irons who find it convenient may
get their books there-a service
which the community may we'll ap-
preciate.
Beginning with the week of Jan
uary 18th, all library patrons are
requested to have their old borrow
ers cards exchanged for new ones.
1t is practice in most public IL
braries to re-register borrowers
once in every two or three years,
in oder to keep a list of only active
borrowers on file and to keep rec
ords of residence up to date. In
order to check up on, and to cor
rect errors that may exist in our
records, as well as to ascertain the
actual number Of patrons at the
! present time, this re-registration
will be made. No charges are
made for new cards to replace the
old ones now in use. Although
this project viii involve additional
work, we hope that the results.
measured in terms of greater ac-
curacy and consequently better ser
vice, may be worthwhile.

Dusty League Rivals Clash for First Place at 8 O'Clock - Beardsley. Chase Play at 9 p. m.

When two undefeatcd league rivals clash, a large crowd general ly sits in and views proceedings and that should be the occasion to- night at the central Y, for at & o'clock the American Brass and Scovill Ayes collide for first place At Q o'clock Beardsley- Wolcott play host to Chaes. Dancing will fol- low both games with Alden White footing the whistle.
 Scovilrs will be minus the serv. ices of "Sonny" Maher and "Zock- eye" Mccormack, two recently ruled ineligible players, but will show "Chick" Overton, Howie Kraft. Bill Ross, "Skids" Pal moski, Lou Darlington, Jack Keefe and Joe Schauster, while the Brassmen will depend on Jay Dunn, Andy Stavitsky, Joe Wall, Mike Higgiston, Turk Flaherty, Jimmy Sullivan, Mickey Bowen and Mike Moore.
 The 9 o'clock tilt should be as interesting as the first attraction. "rippcr" Harnick, leading scorer In the league, will be at forward for the Torridmen, but will have plenty of trouble dropping in field goals on big Jake Vreeland. Stan Poscavage, another leading scorer, will endcavor to slip away consist ently from Jack Allard.

 | ostensibly the meeting Is noth- ing more than the 11th annual gabfest of coaches---n post clinic for the discussion of coach- ing technique and rules. However, the unusually large number of seri- ous and fatal injuries suffered last season Is to receive consider ation.
 The coaches. If they follow the procedure of recent years, will recommend changes to the national rules committee hoping the changes will make the game safer.
 Various coaches have made sug- gestions, including those designed to do away with tho flying wedge on the kickoff, and earnest dis cussion of proposals to lessen the sports dangers is in prospect.
 The coaches are agreed that foot ball Is not guilty in most of the indictments against 1t so to-day's meeting is certain to bring Q gen. eral defense of the game.
 His Answer Ready.
 Lou Little of Columbia, who heads 0 committee which investi- gated charges of "over-emphasis," " is prepared to present statistics showing that football requires less of the students time than many other activities, other committees also are scheduled to report. F. K. Ball, chairman of the football rules committee and General Douglas MacArthur, chief of staff of the United States army, are scheduled for talks.
 Yesterdays sessions were fen- tured by the address of John T. (Terry) McGovern, co-author of tho Carnegie Foundation Bulletin 23, at the Sportsmanship Brother hood dinner,
 Fans to Blame?
 McGoyern completed tho circle of "buck passing" for footballs evils by placing the blame on the shoulders of spectators and critics of the game. He suggested curb on "cignr store sports" and "bar- Der shop administrators" as a means for ending the dangerous dcgeneracy of conduct on the part of spectators in the stnnds."
 With McGovcrn's criticism foot balls "cviis" now have been laid at the door of players. coaches, rule maker, athletic directors, col- lege officials. sports writers. spec tntors, officials, equipment mnnu- facturers and reformers.
