CHRISTOPHER THREAT

Swarms of grasshoppers are
breeding in the Southwest and
Rocky Mountain region. The
menace is to farms, and grazing
lands of western cattle. The
Mormon cricket is also in league
with the grasshopper The hop
pers and crickets have not yet
taken to the wing, but are busy
with their recruiting and organi-
zation on the ground. Once they
swarm into the air there is hard
ly any chance to save the crops.
Airplanes are now spraying the
region. Farme rs, National
Guardsmen, and government
agencies are fighting the pest
while it is on the ground.

said that soon we shall be optnumbered by
voters who are supported by taxes and

Thursday, Miss Louise Clark,
state consultant, WPA, vocational

months after the division was be-

Jerry Trevor was in charge of the

been secured in nearly all cases,
Miss Clark said.
az The employer for any rea-
son may return the worker to re-

an employer hiring a worker, be-
coming unsatisfied with him, and
then handicapping himself be-
cause he does not feel it fair to
discharge him and put him in a
position where he may not be re-
turned to relief.

HELENA OFFICE
TO AID WORKERS
THOSE WHO HAVE LOST THEIR
SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS
MAY GET DUPLICATES

Commercial and industrial work
ers who have lost their social Sc
curity account number cards may
now obtain duplicates from social
security board field offices Of which
there are IL in the states Of ARR
zOna, Colorado, Idaho, Montana,
Utah and Wyoming, it was learned
recently.
This service to workers who have lost
their cards has been established to help
them obtain employment, said Newton
r. Holcomb, manager, the boards field
office, bureau of old age insurance
Formerly duplicates of account number
cards issued in connection with the
federal old age insurance program
could be obtained only from Washing
ton.
Workers In Helena and nearby
counties of Cascade, Fergus, Teton,
Petroleum, Wheatland, Judith Basin,
Meagher, Powell and Lewis and Clark
may now obtain duplicates, upon proper
Identification at the Helena field Of
flee, at SOB Power Block, MIR. Holcomb
said.
Reports from all parts Of the country
indicate he explained, that employ
ers are giving preference to Job appi-
cantS having account number cards.
This may be due to the fact that If
a worker fails to obtain an account
number the employer must, under fed
eral treasury regulations, apply for a
number for this worker. The employer
is required to include both the workers
name and his account number in per-
iodic reports of the workers wages
which he files with the treasury.
I'VE have been instructed to obtain
the home address and the name and
address Of the employer of persons re-
questing duplicate cards. This informa-
ton Is required SO that, If 1t is found
necessary, the board can communicate
with the wage Garner or his employer"
Mr.. Holcomb concluded.

SOUTHERN LASS
VISITS HELENA
STAY IS SHORTLIvED, HOWEVER,
DUE TO BRUSH WITH STATE
CAPITAL COPPERS

Dorothy StOter, who evidently
believes In the story about the
grounding, was arrested one night
recently by Helena police for or
dering q load Of coal. Now, people
usually aren't arrested for order
ing a load of coal, but In Dorothy's
case IL was Sifferent-fOr fnvesti-
CATION disclosed that she had the
coal charged to the Helena post OF
the American Legion and the
Legion didn't want to pay for a
load Of coal
Dorothy's career in Helena, it de-
veloped, had been varied and active
In the brief time she had been there.
Her presence was first brought to the
attention of police on a cold winter
morning when she appeared slightly
under the weather with a pronounced
southern accent, black eye and q
missing purse.
Police were unable to account for
the southern accent, but they discov-
cred the purse in q residence where
Dorothy had spent the previous even
ing, with much merriment In progress.
They concluded that the black eye
likewise was gained there.
During her stay in the capital city
Dorothy became acquainted with var
iouS persons, and was prone to make
mysterious telephone calls from almost
any part of the city. In fact, as the
days grew longer Dorothy became more
mysterious, but finally broke down and
told all
She explained that the evening pre-
viOuS TO her arrest, she awoke with q
start to find dagger pierced deep into
her pillow. 1t was a warning, she said
from members of a dope ring who used
that means of letting her know her
life was in danger, because they feared
she would expose them.
Police said then that they believed
they had something there, and they
knew 1t when the coal escapade oc-
Cured
But it didn't work and Dorothy
spent the night in the county Jail and
next day was introduced to George
o. Freeman, who, she learned, is a JUS
tice Of the peace. When he heard the
story of the coal he told her that the
city would be better off without her
and suggested she seek another spot
on the globe In which to pass away
the long winter days.

That the population goes in for
