a result, George Chamlee and other

these Communists have interfered.
More than the lives of eight boys is
at stake in Scottsboro the definite,

The object is bigger than the ig-

Up Pops The Devil

. With Clarence Dsrrow withdraw
ing from the case of the eight con-
demned boys in Scottsboro, and the
fight left to the International Labor
Defense, one can almost literally see
the shadow of the moose.
The outcome of the entire affair
will no doubt be a monument to a
bit of colossal ignorance, on the part
of the eight poor devils who will no
doubt die for having dared to ride
aboard freight train with two white
prostitutes; their parents, and the
criminal complex of the International
Labor Defense forces.
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People en-
tered the case because justice had
been wronged and the inalienable
rights of free men outlawed. 1t re-
ceived the support of both the white
and Negro press and consequently
drew up what was destined to be
precedent-setting argument before
the Alabama Supreme Court. Had it
not entered the fight the Scottsboro
case would have been a memory and
the eight bodies decaying in some
earth.

Long distance radio operation is

Lions Club Takes
Stand IN Favor Of
Radio Ordinance
Discusses Civic Activities for Summer
Months Norman Paar Delivers
Address on Disarmament.

At the regular biweekly meeting of
the Lions Club, held at the Turner
Tavern Monday evening, resolution
was adopted favoring enactment of an
oE6inance to punish operation Of cleo
trical machines during certain hours
of the evening that interfere with radio
reception A draft Of the resolution was
introduced by VIM. Herbert, who also
spoke in its favor. A. M Hoffman, a
guest Of the club, stated such an ordi-
nance is badly needed, that a radio
club had been organized at one time
but could not function effectively with
out an ordinance under which to oper-
ate. He said that attachments could be
placed ON most troublesome equipment
that would eliminate the trouble at an
expense ranging from 50 cents to about
$3.50 Walter collars, another guest OF
the evening and a member Of the city
council, said the council would appreci-
ate receiving such resolutions as this
one and stated the ordinance was
needed
Harold Miller suggested that the club
take up the hardsurfacing Of the city
tennis courts as requested by Mrs.
Chas. j. Martin at the joint meeting
last week. II was stated that W. E. Dex-
ter of the park board had said the park
board intended to hardsurface the
courts in the spring.
Howard Turner asked what was 60
ing to be done regarding erection Of
signs at the highway approaches to the
city, as was suggested last fall. Harold
Miller proposed that the club purchase
the required number Of such signs from
club headquarters consisting Of a large
Lions emblem and a suitable message
OF welcome to travellers. 1t was sug-
gested that rustic arches be built and
the signs hung therefrom. After

Is Advised to Use
Roads Now Before
High Water Time

II has been suggested 1t would be
the part of wisdom for those who
will need to use the highways with
in the next few weeks to plan so
as to do 1t now-just as far as is
possible. Farmers who will need to
haul hay, mining men who need
supplies, citizens who are planning
trips, all these should do so soon
Back Of this suggestion Is the be-
lief that this section Is very apt to
experience moro high water as
spring advances with the weather
growing warmer. If that happens,
it Is very probable that some
bridges, 1t least, will be washed out
in spite Of all that can be done.
And 1t IS probable that parts Of
highways might Be 50 badly flooded
as to stop travel for = time.
Il IS best to bear this probability
in mind and govern ones self &C
cordingiy.

Money In Road
And Poor Funds
Is Running Low
High Water and Ice Jams Increase
Cost Of Bridge and Highway
Maintenance.

While in session last week the boarc
OF county commissioners adopted res
olution looking to the issuance of emer-
gency warrants in the bridge and poor
funds. While these funds are not a
yet exhausted, there is not a suffi-
Gent balance to carry through to the
end Of the fiscal year at June 30, and
action i taken At this time to be ready
for any drastic need that may arise
in the near future.
The recent high water and ice jams
in the streams carried out the ferry
At Ural and few bridges This has
caused m unusual expenditure and it
IS very probable that high water later
will pile up still more additional ex-
pense. In some places the flood water
has tendency to cut new stream cham
nels, undermine bridge approaches and
overflow and cut up roadbeds, all Of
which is causing unlocked for ex--
pense.
There is also an increasing demand
on the poor fund for old age and
widows pensions and the hard times
have also caused a greater drain OH
county funds.

5000 ACRES PLANTED TO
TREES by FOREST SERVICE

Nearly three million trees were
planted on 1000 acres Of national for
est land in Montana and northern
Idaho during 1881, according to re-
port just submitted to Regional For
ester Evan W. Kelley at Missoula.
Two hundred men, mainly local
settlers, were employed during the
spring and fall to set out these trees
at the various planting camps, it is
said Most of the work was done ON
the Cabinet national forest in Mon
tana and on the Occur d'Alene and
St. Joe national forests in northern
Idaho. Trees planted were largely white
pine, ponderosa pine and Engelmann
spruce, all of which were grown from
seed at the Savenac nursery which is
located at Hangar, Montana, accord
ing to the report.
The average cost Of planting is re-
ported at $1,000 per acre, and this cost
is said to include the cost OF the small
trees, raised at the Savenac nursery,
as well as the work of setting them out
in burned-over areas. Approximately
$50 trees are planted per acre, the re-
port reveals.
Eighty-five thousand acres have been
planted by the forest service in Re-
gion One during the past 20 years, it is
stated, but a vastly greater acreage,
denuded by repeated fires. needs plant
ing in order to bring it back to full
timber productiveness.

Red Cross Aids
1874 Families
In This State

Clothing During Winter
Months.
NOW FURNISHING
GARDEN SEEDS

With an aim Of speeding up recover,
in the Northwestern drouth area, tn,
American Red Cross will furnish in
dividual collections Of garden seed t.
all its beneficiaries in Montana, North
Dakota and Nebraska, who are unable
to secure seed from any other source
This announcement was made
by William n Baxter, Jr. man
ager Of the Midwestern Area Of the
American Red Cross In addition to the
seed packets, Baxter said, each Of the
dependant families win be given m
adequate supply Of seed potatoes
In tho four affected states, there are
now 1864 families receiving Red Cross
assistance. Of this number, 1924 fam
lies reside in Montana. Distribution Of
the Red Cross seed will be- made be-
tween April and May !, IA order that
the beneficiaries may receive them by
the normal planting period
The organizations entire seed order
calls for $4,000 bushels Of seed pota-
toes and 24,500 individual collections Of
garden seed, Because the number Of
families now dependent upon the Red
Cross is greater in the Montana North
Dakota drouth area, requirements for
seed will be proportionately greater in
those states than In South Dakota and
Nebraska, Baxter said
The varieties Of seed selected for
distribution in Montana and North Da-
kota differ slightly from those to be
planted in the South Dakota Nebraska
area. Both assortments were chosen be-
cause Of their adaptability to the grow
ing conditions in each Of the two areas.
Extension service experts cooperated
with the Red Cross officials In select
ing the various types of seeds, Baxter
explained
Baxter indicated that the peak Of dis
tress has been reached in nearly every
section Of the affected areas The load
is expected to be gradually reduced as
winter recedes and as farm credit
channels are reopened through Federal
farm loans and normal credit machin-
cry. The wide distribution Of the gar
den seed also will quicken the come
back Of the stricken counties, Baxter
pointed out.
At the opening of March, the ma
tional organization had expended
total of $1,437, 1853 in all its Northwest
drouth relief operations, Of this amount
approximately $4,000 was sent into
the stricken counties by the National
Red Cross during February To date,
$685., 1853 has been applied to Red Cross
relief work in Montana.
Up to March s, farmers in the four
states had received $5,957,776 in fed
eral feed loans, according to the de-
partment Of agriculture's loan office at
Grand Forks, North Dakota. These
loans have been distributed among 81
997 applicants in the four states, Bax-
teer said he had been advised by the
Grand Forks office. Federal feed loans
made in Montana total 5,272, aggre-
eating $1,O10,472
In Montana, Baxter said, hundreds
of citizens have devoted nearly their
full time to the relief task as volunteers
throughout the operation.
