S+ort Laying Roof Of
New County Court House

The day when Big Horn county
viii have its own court house n
rapidly approaching. During the
past week very notable progress
has been made on the last story
and the root is now being laid.
It is anticipated that the stone
work on the last story will soon
be completed and preparations are
now being made for the plastering
Of the rooms. The WPA at present
is paying for all labor on the
building. an item that amounts 70
around 100000 per month. A
payroll Of which Big Horn county
should be rightfuly proud.
There has been some question
as to the cost of this building to
Big Horn county and upon investi-
cation we find that the county
can retire all the Indebtedness
created by building this structure
over a period Of ten years, and
still save the taxpayers $9,300.00
This saving is due to the fact that

Picnic Sunday
Enjoyed by Al!

One Of the most pleasant gath
erings so far this year was the
joint picnic of the Young Bust
ness Mems club and the Hardin
Lions club, held at the H. w. Bum
ston ranch four miles north of the
city last Sunday afternoon.
About one hundred in all, in
Guiding the families of the club
members, gathered around the
dinner table at one o'clock and
partook of a very sumptuous bas-
ket picnic lunch. The ice cream
was furnished by the Lions club,
while Mr.. Funston supplied all
with coffee.
After dinner various games and
amusements were INDUCED in
such as horseshoe pitching, swing
ing, etc., but the game de resistant
was game of kitten ball between
the two clubs in which the Lions
club was easily the victors by a
score of IS to 7. The poor showing
of the young men was probably
due to the big dinner they had
tucked away under their belts just
before the game.
Bunny showed himself the per-
feet host in every little detail. One
thing especially appreciated by the
kiddies was the two saddled hors-
es that were ready for each and
every child, and most of the time
there were two or three kiddies
on the Same horse. who seemed
to enjoy the game as we'll as the
kids themselves.
Everyone present left with the
feeling that they had had one of
the best times of the year, and
both the clubs want to thank
Bunny for his wonderful hospi-
tally.

Embellishments in the credit ar
rangements Of $50 Montana farm
ers have been corrected as a re-
suit Of the work of the farm debt
adjustment committees throughout
the state since the inception OF the
program.
This information was disclosed
here by H. Z. Wood, farm debt ad-
justment supervisor for the Reset
Element administration, who met
with local committeeman on mis-
regular monthly visit here last
week. An original Indebtedness of
81, 250,53 in the $40 cases adjusted
was reduced to 81, 385 ,228, a saving
to the farmers Of 1855 ,304. The
creditors also benefited from the
adjustments, Wood pointed out,
since they were able to realize
some return from an investment
which would otherwise have been
little better than worthless. Back
taxes paid into the county treas
uries in conjunction with the ad-
justments totaled $110,650. The
various committees in the state
are working on 1872 cases at the
present time, he reported.
THE farm debt adjustment pro
gram in Montana" Wood said,
is receiving the cooperation of
the state and county extension
service, the rural rehabilitation di-
vision and the federal lending
agencies. Many banks, insurance
and implement companies and pri-
vate creditors, realizing that debt
adjustment releases assets which
would otherwise remain frozen.
have also given their full cooper
alton"
The program was established
for the purpose of settling, with
out court action, if possible, the
credit problems Of farmers and
their creditors in such a way that
the creditors receive fair treat
ment and the farmer is given an
opportunity to continue toward
success in his operations.
In negotiating these settle
ments," Wood said, "the aim of
the committee is to secure an adj
justment compatible with the in
terests Of both debtor and credit
ors. These detectives do not i'm
ply the scaling down Of any rea-
sonable Indebtedness, nor do they
countenance aiding a debtor who
seeks to avail himself of the adj
vantages offered by this agency
without justifiable cause. A con-
structive program of debt adjust
