tions with the United States, 1t was
officially indicated today, until the
government receives an answer from
Washington to its suggestion for a
prolongation Of the Hoover moratorium.
In unofficial quarters it was said that
If there are to be negotiations at Wash

probably will be Jacques Bizot, treas

the extension of the idea originally
adopted for prohibition enforcement in
order to prevent irfiltration of Grim
inaIs into the law forces. Protests have
reached Congress that even the most
respected citizen is reluctant to take a
federal appointment because of the be
lief that finger printing places him in
the same category with criminals
Organized labor has taken firm
stand in this matter and protested to
congressional committees. The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor regards it as
potential black list and a system
which is capable of drastic abuses by
bureaucrats. One of their chief objec-
tons is that the adoption of the finger
printing policy by the federal govern
ment would soon spread to private in
dustry and thus give the police whip
hand over all working men and women
The resentment against the practice i;
growing SO that Congress may force
the civil service commission to change
its tactics.

REVIVING DEAD DOLLARS.

THE national drive of the Citizens Re-
l construction Organization to put UNI
employed dollars to work is now well under
way. In every city, town, and community
representatives Of the organization opened
the campaign to bring boarded money out
of fruit jars and tomato cans.
In Chicago one case reported was that
Of woman who walked into down town
bank with $45, 900 in twenty, fifty, and hun
bred dollar bills She bought 1000 worth
of United States treasury certificates and
placed on deposit $4,000 Many similar
cases are reported from other cities.
Coincident with the inauguration Of
President Hoover's withdrawing cam
paign, the Federal Reserve Board III its
weekly statement showed the first increase
in bank deposits III several months. Net de-
mand deposits increased 100000 and time
deposits showed the first increase since the
week ending last August 18th, and were UP

Probably nothing so far advanced to
ward off depression will have the far reach

lof business and employment as this splendid
response to the President S appeal to put
boarded money back into the channels Of

UNDERMINING GRAIN PRICES

4 CHICAGO paper under date Of March
~ 9th, in commenting on the grain mar
ket has the following to say: Weather
over the west were unfavorable
for the movement of corn, and with lack OF
leadership on the bear side local bears
thought discretion was the better part OF
valor and beat an orderly retreat, with the
result that prices advanced
Here we have it again. In this case It
took zero weather in March to stop the bears
from selling short corn which they did not
own, the sale of which would have depressed
the corn market.
There can be no stability to farm prices
50 long as gamblers are permitted to sell
short unrestricted amounts Of corn, wheat
or any other farm product.
a bear Is short seller. A short seller
is d man who sells something he does mot
own and never expects to own and his oper-
ations, whether they be on the stock mar
ket or the grain market, undermine rea
values and should be prohibited by law

dire threats of vengeance constantly given
out against the kidnappers should they be
caught. Not many evenings ago an editor
of a great periodical spoke over the radio
and said no punishment could De TOO severe
for the arch criminals who would carry
away a little child and hold it for ransom.
He advised drastic action
Such expressions might very easily END
in defeating the recovery OF the child. IN
questionably the kidnappers are IN touch
with the hunt through the newspapers and
the radio. If the pursuit of them grows too
spirited and the threats of vengeance too
dire, they may conclude their own personal
danger IS too great and therefor do away
with the child as means of hiding the evl-
dence against them
The wise thing to do would be to tone
down the publicity and the threats of pun
ishznent. First, secure possession OF the
child and then let the law take its course.

Krall at the joint meeting OF the Libby |
Womans Club, the Libby Commercial
Club and the Libby Lions Club:
Everyone loves pleasant home sur
rounded with beauty that comes from
flowers, shrubs, and trees. So we each
strive to have such a home ourselves,
be it an extensive landscape planned
by an architect, modest suburban
home, surrounded by shrubs and plants
that we set out ourselves, or just a
single rose or lilac by farm cottage
doorway.
Mere size is no measuring stick by
which to judge the possibilities for
beautiful grounds. The home on the
small lot can have just as attractive
surroundings as the largest estate in
the land. In fact some of the very pref
test and most tasteful paintings in the
country today are to be found sur
rounding homes Of modest size. The city
apartment dweller can often find a
place for hardy flowers or other plants
for his enjoyment A vine growing on
an apartment wall will add consid-
cradle beauty to the building.
The humble cottage and the stately
mansion both need a setting of grow
Ing things to attain their full beauty
and both suffer equally rs much by
the lack Of well planted, well cared
for grounds. Every house holder should
join in the movement to beautify the
homes Of America He owes it to him.
self, to his family, friends and neigh
bors and to the community of which
he is a part.
1t is interesting to know that in ad-
dition to the enjoyment derived from
well planted grounds every tree, hedge,
shrub you plant adds far more to the
value of your property than its cost
In fact, you are actually paid for max
ing your home attractive, not alone
by the added pleasure and satisfaction
of living in cheerful surroundings bu,
in actual dollars and cents. A vel
handicapped home is always worth
many hundreds Of dollars more and il
far more readily saleable than one
which stands bleak and bare. Rea'
estates firms recognize this, home own
ers find it out when ever they come
: to sell Farmers located along MAR
: highways, who cater to the touris

cream OF the travelling public can onl,

and surely you have noticed how

buildings are Handicapped in some places
and what, pleasing impression you
have of that place. Schools, court
houses, churches, ETC., have beautiful
lawns with foundation paintings and

I've always wished the courthouse
had some shrubbery to soften the

and lower ones for the front The

The churches with no exception
would look more inviting with plant

pleasing style of architecture but a
high cement foundation looks cold and
bleak and uninviting without some

boundary planting would improve the
grounds IN most instances TOO.
