BUYING
OF CATTLE WILL
BEGIN NEXT WEEK
Stockyard Appraisals TO
Begin at 5 Shipping
Points

Permission has just been grant,
ed from the state office at Miles
City to 0. P. Roberts, emergency
county agent of Carbon county, to
go ahead with the government
purchase Of cattle on a strict
quota basis, giving preference to
areas and producers affected by
greatest feed shortages.
Carbon county was included in
the emergency drouth area and
the government sale of cattle about
October /, but the cattle program
was suspended before any cattle
could be moved. About 1900 head
have been listed and the quota will
allow for the purchase of only a.
bout half this amount. The nee
essary releases Of mortgages have
been secured for all listings and
all cattle will be appraised and
shipped through the stockyard APP
praisal method.
Although the appraisal force is
ready to go ahead with the buying,
this has had to be postponed until
November z when the district
shipper and the government B. A.
l. mar can be secured. Both of the
latter are engaged in other coun-
ties up to this date.
Present plans call for the move
ment of all cattle for the govern
ment sale in this county in five
shipments. The shipping points
will be at Red Lodge, Selmes, Ed
gar, East Bridger and at Kane,
Wyo. The latter point will take
care of shipments from the Dry
head area
The cattle committee met Fri
day and made their quota recon-
mendations after a study of feed
conditions and as to where cuts
should be made in the county to
come within the quota.

THE DEADLY GAS

When starting the spring and sum-

to the exhaust pipe on your car. Out
of that pipe comes a deadly gas gen.
Grated by the engine-carbon monox-

carried out in to the open air where
it dissipates, but may leak up into

Quantities Of carbon monoxide are
present in three out of five motor
vehicles now moving on highways.
Though the fumes are not concentrat-
ed highly in the majority of vehicles,
they are sufficiently strong in z per
cent, to cause collapse and greatly
to increase the probability of fatal
accidents and asphyxial deaths.
Traffic experts have been analy-

poor Judgement" or "inattention."
They believe that in such cases dri-

Defects in exhaust facilities contri-

haust pipes, leaking flexible tubes,
defective manifold gaskets or leak

highly dangerous. Defective floor

are contributory factors.
Motorists can control the hazard by
observing the following: l. Stop en-

JOINT COMMITTEE
LASHES
NEW DEAL OGR

washington - (CNS) Declaring
that the only way to bring about
sound recovery for the nation was to
make real and actual for Negro
s-harecroppers and Negro industrial
workers the benefits provided by the
New Deal administration, John P.
DAVIS, executive secretary Of the
Joint Committee on National Re-
covery, presented a brilliant array of
facts at an unofficial hearing before
a joint congressional committee in the
Senate Office building here Saturday
morning. The unofficial hearing was
presided over by Senator Costigan of
Colorado and Congressman William
P. Connery Jr. of Massachusetts,
chairman of the House of Labor com
mittee, was called to discuss the eff
feet of New Deal legislation on Ann
erica's unemployment problem and
to consider the need for further leg
islation.
A number of the leaders of both
houses of Congress were in attendance
as we'll as such nationally known
leaders as DR.. John Dewey Of Column
bia University, Benjamin Marsh of the
Peoples Lobby, Rabbi Sidney E. Gold
stein of the Joint Committee on I'm
employment, and representatives Of
liberal groups from all large indus
trial centers in the country. Follow
ing the hearings a luncheon was held
at the Cosmos Club, at which a ma
tion-wide broadcast was made of the
facts presented at the hearing. Davis
attended the luncheon conference.
One Of the six witnesses chocen to
present unemployment conditions,
Davis pointed out that there had been
a complete breakdown in the recovery
program so far as Negroes are aft
fected. "The whole group of recovery
meacures seem to have been so loosely
drawn as to allow benefits intended
to bring about recovery for Negroes
to slip out Of their hands," ne said.
Continuing he outlined how the cotton
crop reductions program had oper-
ated to give Negro farmers 40 per
cent less land froom which to earn
a living, while the government rental
price intended to be provided in COM
pensation for the loss of this land
had not gone to Negro s-harecroppers
but had been stolen from them by
their white landlords.

when he read a report of conditions

1t is generally believed that Artih

have gained world renown for their
contributions to science by their self
sacrificing work in exploration Of the
unbeaten and unexplored paths of the
world.
That belief is entirely and
without fact.
We explorers are never reckless. to
be so would be not only the height of
Jolly we w would be able
to accomplish our purpose or reach

our very lives depend on careful, plan
ming and the precise execution of
these plans.
We are adventurous but only when
there $ a definite theory to be proven.
1t is true explorers have a lot Of
publicity, but I have never known of
an incident but that the explorer has
not tried to escape as much of it as
possible.
In my humble opinion the real
Artic explorers are a group of indiyid-
uals who believe honestly that we will
need all Of the resources on this little
old globe on which we live and have
our being and that by providing that
get to these resources and can live
there to develope tim, the world will
have those resources at its command.
