what has Sheridan that Hardin
hasn't, aside from a few more
people, considerably more dude.
ranchers, and vastly more bars
they stated.
Hardin is in the center of a
rich agricultural area, with
much undeveloped mineral
wealth, and with a history rich
in the lore of the West. To ar
guments that Sheridan is some
what more centrally located, it,
was replied that after a look
at the map above, Hardin was
no more off in a corner than.
Sheridan was.
Even the name of the state,
comes from the name given the.
territory when it was coded to-
the Grow Indians in 1849, and
all the land in the present res
ervation is now in Big Horn
county.
If Hardin were made capital.
it was said, undoubtedly office
seekers would promise to the
people of Sheridan all the poll
itical jobs possible, thus making
up for their loss of face in the
last election.
And Just think what an adj
vantage it would be to have a
couple Of senators who would
be whole heartedly behind the
proposition of a Big Horn dam.

Industrial Boom Seems to
Have Started Over War
in Europe
NEUTRALITY ACT IS
NOT A HINDRANCE
Several Local Plants Have
Cancelled Saturday Half
Holidays

A steady upturn in local
industry, which became a
sharp advance during the
past weeks as a result OF
European developments,
gives promise of turning into
a boom reminiscent Of the
days of 1914-18. Revision OF
ths present neutrality law,
most observers believe, will
result in tremendous gains
in orders placed with local
factories and consequently In gen.
ersl gains in employment.
Even with the restrictive provi-
siols OF the present neutrality act,
local factories have become unusual
ly busy. Employment since Sep
TENDER has shown great increase,
though figures are not available, and
additional orders are reported COM
ing in daily.
Neutrality act
Revision OF the neutrality act 70

rials and supplies to belligerents on

mean a flood Of orders for local
manufacturing plants. President
Roosevelt is planning TO call con-
gress into special session to con-
slider such a revision.
Employment during the summer
months had been gaining slowly but
steadily, in contrast to the usual
summer slump, when the war crisis
in Europe came. Immediately there
was a great demand for workers,
particularly for skilled men. This
gain has been continuing daily.
