ton from more than $4,000 manu-
featuring establishments reveals gain
of IA per cent in the number Of en-
ployed during February as compared
with January"
Mr.. Lamont estimates the sunemploy-
ment totals month by month, May
December, 1880, as follows: May, g.
600, 900; June, 100000; July, 5000, 900;
August, 3,500000; September, 3,400,-
900; october, $500 600; November, g.
600 900; December, 100000. CThe
above based on sundry sources of infor-
nation, In particular the data collected
by the Bureau of Labor StatiSticS.) 1t
is to be observed that January and
February are the worst months as to
seasonal Unemployment.
AS a result Of application of the
public charity provision of our immi-
grafton law, in the five months ended
with February nearly 100000, who under
ordinary conditions would have been ad-
mitted immigrants, were denied ad-
mission. They were refused visaS by
our consular agents. Only 10,277 per-
sons received viSaS from 81 European
countries the total of whose annual
quota Is 148,466. The idea is to pro-
tect the American working men from
improper competition under the condi-
tons.
On March 81, while plying from
Kansas City for Wichita, tri-motored
Fokker 10-paSSenger plane Of the Trans
continental and Western Anyways line
crashed in the Flint Hills country, and
all Of the eight occupants were killed.
One of them was Knute Rockne, the
Notre Dame foot ball coach, with the
exception, perhaps. of Walter Camp,

nality, resource and character.

GOOD BEHAVIOR.

While Peru is playing the bad boy
Of Latin American politics, with four
presidents in a month and almost con-
slant domestic unrest, other Southern
republics are giving examples Of demo-
cratic maturity.
Colombia, among these, has been re-
peatedly mentioned in these columns
for the progressive and peaceful steps
she has taken during the last few
months to solve her political problems
without endangering internal order.
The latest instance comes in the form
Of an announcement from Bogota, the
Colombian capital, indicating that the
heads of the two rival political parties
have agreed to investigate Jointly and
pass upon the results OF the recent con-
gresSional elections. To this effect they
have appointed a special committee,
with representatives, Of both parties
who will personally visit those districts
where unfair electoral methods have
BEEN reported and will make a recount
Of the votes received at the polls by the
contending candidates.
Both the Liberals and the Conserva-
tives have pledged themselves to accept
the verdict of this joint committee as
final and to facilitate its task by CO.
operating with it in every possible way.
In the meantime the bitter political an
tagonisms which followed the elections
have been put aside, and the clouds
that were darkening the country's in
ternal harmony have disappeared.
In period of widespread political
unrest throughout Latin America, when
presidential candidates are running
twice-first to win their posts and then
to save their liveS-the peaceful and
democratic way in which Colombia is
confronting her domestic troubles de-
serves indeed big hand" from the
audience.
Unfortunately, the foreign press, so
eager to report new revolutions on the
other side of the Equator and SO ex-
plicit in describing the excuses OF
political violence down there, becomes
Indifferent and silent when these Or
derby developments take place. Foreign
correspondents seem to have little in
terest in Latin American politics unless
these are accompanied by the barking
OF cannon and the odor of gunpowder.
This is not right. Just as big head
lines announce each new violent up
heaval in Latin America, and long edi-
torials condemn them in the foreign
papers, 30 when any Southern country

~ My a few days after a Com
munistic plot had been discov-
covered in Guayauquil, Ecua-
~ dor an armed uprising broke
out last week in Lima, the cap
ital of Peru, which had all the char
acteristics of the Communistic pattern.
Commenting upon the Guayaquil in
cidents. this column was devoted last
Sunday to a discussion of the existence
of a growing Communistic influence in
the Americas of Spanish origin. The
fact was mentioned at that time that
Communistic propaganda had been
making Roadway with certain elements
south Of the Rio Grande. and particu-
larly with the natives of those countries
where the Indian or half-breed portion
of the population was in majority.
Red agitators, it was then pointed
out, have been working on these ele-
ments for q number Of years, with the
undisguised design OF using them as
instruments in the realization of their
disturbing plans The natives igno-
rance and their low standards of life
make them particularly accessible to
CommuniStic propaganda, and SO the
danger was indicated in commenting
/ on the abortiye Guayaquil plot that the
| red menace was more and more taking
an outstanding place among the chief
/ problems of Latin American statesmen.
What took place in Lima few days
| ago seems to corroborate this impress
| sion. 1t so happens that the bulk of
| the Peruvian army. like those Of sew
| eral other Southern republics, is made
| up of precisely those native elements
whose ambitions and lack of culture
have been repeatedly exploited by Com
munistic agents.
| Thus it was not the least surprising
| to learn the other day that a certain
regiment had revolted in Lima and
menaced the existence of the recently
established provisional government OF
! Peru. That the movement was one in
stigated by Communistic ideas was
/ clearly shown by the fact that it was
! led by the soldiers themselves, who
after arrestipg their own officers. went
/ out on the Streets, carrying red ban
ners, and attacked the presidential pal
ace without any definite plan. A later
! investigation has shown that no politi-
/ cal leader of importance was connected
with the uprising, and that, far from
being the result of a reactionary attempt
on the part of followers of the deposed
| President Leguia as was at first
| thought. the rebellion of the 5th Regi-
ment was an isolated outburst of VIC
| lence.
As is we'll known, the government
forces quashed the audacious coup with
no great difficulty, and by the time this
is in print the soldiers responsible for
it will have been punished, probably in
| the severely primitive, cold-blooded way
| demanded on account Of the sacrifice OF
| lives in its suppression.

Vida Patrons Like
Daily Mail Service

Mail patrons at Vida and along
the route are very appreciatiye of
the daily mail service which went
into effect May LIST. This ser
vice came as a result Of a petition
circulated in February by a COM
mittee including C. R. C~asterline,
Harry Kirkpatrick, Ed Schillinger
and Oscar Horsford. Four hun
dred signatures were secured. The
Southsiders feel very grateful to
Congressman Scott Leavitt for
his cooperation in the matter, as
it was Mr.. Leavitt who present
ed their petition to the second as
sistant Postmaster General.
Rural route No. l out of Vida is
also contemplating circulAing a

and rural route No. 2 from there

take in more mileage and serve
more people and will soon ask for

WOLF PIT. GIRLS CLUB
CLOTHING PROJECT

Those who are interested in
the clothing club, will no doubt
like to know the aims, qualifica-
tions and requirements.
1t it the aim of the First Year
club to teach the girls that sim
plicity, modesty. comfort. health,
suitability. appropriateness and
neatness are the essentials of at
tractive clothing. To give them a
working knowledge of simple
hand and machine sewing and the
proper care of sewing equipment.
To develop high standard of per
sonal cleanliness. To teach them
to recognize wellmade garments
by creating interest in clothing
Judgment. Also to create a desire
to properly care for clothing.
The requirements are: make a
hand towel or breakfast cloth,
darn one pair of stockings, make
a tea towel or pot holder, make a
kitchen apron or a simple cotton
dress. These requirements are
very simple and after they r
completed the members will have
ample time to follow out their
individual ideas for the other ar
ticles they will undertake.
Any girl who is ten years old
or over may qualify as a. member
Of this club.
Besides the regular health elm
ic that we will be able to enjoy,
Mrs. Shenkenberger has kindly
consented to give us a talk on
Care of the Hair"
1t would be a very good idea
for each girl who intends to join
this phase OF club work to think
over these things: What can you
suggest for Achievement Day
program? What is some articlei
that you would like to make?
What should we do for our social
part of the meeting? Would you
like a picnic.

who were disabled in their coun-
try's service.
Mrs. George A. Davis of Helena
says: Every crepe paper poppy
worn on Poppy Day means that
the wearer has paused for a sec
ond and thought of the men who
lie beneath the poppies over
there, and Of those disabled sol
diers who are still fighting the
long, long battle.
These World War heroes made
a great sacrifice. May we all rec
ognize their cause, and give one
day in the year to help them car
ry on"
The celebration of Poppy Day
in Montana has a special interest
this year, since this Ia the first
year that the crepe flowers have
been made by the soldiers at Fort
Harrison, Helena. On an average
35 disabled men a day have been
employed since the work began
in January. For a number of these
patients it is the only way they
have of making a little spending
money. Making the crepe paper
peoples is something they can do,
and it serves to keep them inter-
ested and cheerful. A part Of the
amount realized from the sale Of
peoples goes to the Legion Auxi-
liary, and this is used in their
child welfare work.
