More Employment Is Aim of New Law
 Specialization
More Work to More Men Is Design of Wages-Hours
 Act, Attorney Explains

H. L. Faulkner returned to Ju- neau on the Princess Louise after short business trip to Seattle and San Francisco.
 Application of the Wages and Hours law, which goes into effect October 24 was found to be of para mount interest among business peo- pie with whom he talked in coast cities, Mir Faulkner said.
 ''The general opinion in San Francisco and Seattle seems to be that the Wages and Hours law was designed to spread employment" !" MT. Faulkner explained. That is the ultimate object of the govern ment. It is generally considered that the government has through vari- ous measures assisted in raising wages to the limit and it is now the object of the administration to spread the employment and give work to more men so that some of the millions now on relief will be eliminated from the government payrolls. It seems to be generally conceded that if the object of the Wages and Hours law is to be at tained in all industries, it will, of course, result in a reduction of weekly earnings along with reduc- ton of hours.
 "The operation of this law is going to cause considerable confu- sion and hardship at first for the reason that it applies only to those industries, and employments which affect interstate commerce, as, of course, Congress has no jurisdiction over such things within the separ- ate states. The result, therefore. will be that some employers will have a considerable advantage oyer others, and until the law is applied and tested and every state in the union passes similar law to apply to cases over which the states alone have jurisdiction, there will be much uncertainty and confusion, but the ultimate object of the law is to

KOMARON, Hungary, Oct. 15.- At this border town of Czechoslo- vakia, Czech officers declared their soldiers will resist occupation of frontier communities by Hungarian troops under any circumstances.
 Czechoslovakia continues to move troops today nearer to the border.
 Army officers stated today that they do not believe it will be long until Hungarian soldiers will try to take back the territory taken from them by an old treaty fol- lowing the World War.
 A wireless message received here states that the Hungarian Staff General has declared that Hungary would mobilize one million men if the territorial dispute leads to war.

 Acting under Ramer's direction, Major Marston told General Cruz that "any firing upon the American camp or the city of Managua would result in immediate intervention of American forces to preserve order and protect American interests" Those are drastic words for the representative of one American republic to say to people of an- other independent republic, but in those days the U. s. was backing up it's policy with bayonets.

It was my good fortune to have been selected by the management to make this journey to Alaskan ports and Inland points to Fair banks and mingle with Alaskans on their home town streets and in their places of business. I say it was my good fortune, advisedly and sincerely, after a few days sojourn among the good people of Juneau.
 I knew in advance of my coming to Alaska that I would meet some hospitable folks, for we have ex- perienced grand and glorious times while entertaining Alaskans at the New Washington, which has for years enjoyed it's share of the pa- tronage which comes to the hotels of Seattle But to meet these men and women on their own soil is something entirely different-and I wish to say pleasurably different.
 Out of the Old South, as refers to the United States, came people who were imbued with that South ern hospitality, for which that sec tion has ever been famous. Sad to say, and shamefully so, the old time hospitality known universally throughout the Southern states, has in the lingo of yester-years, "Petered out" until now the pace of business and the speed of the day does not leave us sufficient time for such hospitality, even in the Western states where it also once abounded. It is, therefore, refreshing atmos- phere indeed which one encounters within the confines of Alaskan Ter ritory to once more experience the unselfish, old-fashioned, hale and hearty hospitality which once per- vaded the Old South and the Great West.

Saturday will be a great day for
the ambitious young musicians OF
Libby High, for that is the day OF
which their years hard work will
be climaxed by the Lincoln County
Music Meet
The students have worked exceed
ingly hard to make this meet pos
sible. They have practiced assidu-
ously and faithfully They have
studied and mastered difficult
pieces. But more than all else, they
have felt at all times an intense
loyalty to those organizations OF
which they are parts. They have
felt that their orchestra practices
their band practices, their chorus re-
hearsals were the most important
of all their actiuities-Were import
ant enough SO that they would rather
sacrifice other pleasures and recrea-
tions than miss a rehearsal. And
this praiseWorthy attitude on the
part of the students has resulted in
a music department of which we al
may be proud Therefore. it is nc
longer a duty for us-the student
hody-to support the work of our
fellow students by attending their
music meet. 1t is no longer a duty
but a privilege and an honor to be
permitted to do so.

Town Team
Tops Terriers

Playing their last game of the
season, the Libby Terriers went
down in defeat at the hands of the
town team, 57-36.
Both teams started fast, but the
Terriers shooting was not on a par
with the effective work of the town
team. The half ended 1918. The
town team could not keep the pace
that the school boys set and had to
call four time-outs to rest.
| At the opening of the second half
the town team began to pull away
as result of their expert shooting.
The town team also held the adj
vantage in size, that is, they could
recover rebounds and convert them
into baskets, while their smaller OPP
ponents were helpless at this game.
Minde, Phillips, and Holiday led
the town team attack with IA, IS.
and IL points respectively. Sleizer,

No man left the game via the foul

Goodbye, Mr.. HAYES"

If, as the poet tells us, I'VE are a
part of all that we have met" then
the four or five hundred students
who have crowded the halls of Lib
by High for the past eight years
have surely left their mark on
George Hayes and he on them. As
an inspirational Instructor, he ban
ished drab recitations from his class
room nd-When- he took over the
principalship, the student body
quickly recognized in him leader
and friend.
His cheerful philosophy, his saving
sense of humor, and his vigorous at
tack on school problems have united
the assembly into a group where eff
ficiency and intelligent action is
constantly urged by his challenge
ito get the facts and think them
through"
Disorder and lack of interest are
Mr.. Hayes; they indicate AN under
lying cause that must be discovered
and corrected before the case is dis
missed. A pupil with an unsocial
attitude or a lack of cooperation is
not, to him, the occasion for ostra-
cism, but an incentive to uncover
some latent interest Or talent that
will give the student an opportun-
lily to- find himself and his place
in the scheme of things. He values
original thinking above mere con-
Iyentionality and there is a tradition
among the alumni that every tight
situation will bring out a pat and
pertinent Hayes story. z
Sneak day dramatics, school par
ties, or place in the rooters sec
ton finds some new expression for
ibis colorful personality and Libby
High and his faculty associates will
certainly miss him when he goes
to his superintendency at Culbertson
next year.
