Increasing payrolls, an encouraging

likely to make the coming months far
better for Montana's business men and
workers than February Of this year,
Barclay Craighead, chairman of the
unemployment compensation commits
sion, announced.
In FEBRUARY, 1899, but 64564 work
ers were employed in businesses SUBJ
iect to the unemployment compensa-
ton law. 1t is estimated that over
1900 workers now are employed In
such businesses.
The big news of the month was the
agreement of unions of Butte, Great
Falls and Anaconda with the mining
companies regarding wages and work.
ing conditions. This was followed by
the announcement that two mines in
Butte were being opened and would
give employment to an additional $50
men.
Another indication of improved bust
ness and employment is that approx
mately 1000 of the $3.50 unemployed
workers who have filed benefit claims
against the commission have secured
at least fairly steady employment and
another 1000 claimants have been
successful In securing some part-time
employment. The employment service

BEN GREENOUGH
VISITS NEW YORK
VETERAN MONTANA WBOY
FINDS OLD HOME TOWN
MUCH CHANGED

The daddy of the ''ridin' Green
oughs Of Red Lodge" 7O-year-Old
Ben GreenOugh. revisited New York
recently, during the Madison
Square Garden rOdeO, where his
sons and daughters are fOrking
the br0ncs with the best Of them,
and walked into the ChiIdren's
Aid society headquarters TO say
THANK yeu, ma'am!" Ben Green
Ough said those words IS years
ago, but with less drawl then and
under less happy circumstances.
It's long way to Red Lodge, Mont,
and it's been quite a spell since 1887,
but Ben Greenough knew he would
come back some day and he knew he
would not forget.
He pulled fraying yellow letter
from his pocket. 1t explained In the
bold penmanship of a society official
So years ago that Greenough was be-
ing sent as a homeless orphan to q
foster home in the west.
He was one of 1000 New York or
phans the society sent to western
homes during the eighties.
The 70-year-old cowpuncher and
bronze buster pulled with eager fingers
another .yellowed clipping from his
pocket, this time an article from the
Rocky Mountain Husbandman, telling
of his robust exploits as a friend Of
Calamity Jane" Cattle Kate" Max
well and Liver Eatin'" johnson, and
other almost legendary Montana fig
ures.
With smile as broad as the brim
Of his hat Greenough told with q
shy sort of pride about his four chill
dren who are ridin' and ropin' and
Dustin broncs In the Madison Square
Garden rodeo.
They brought Pop" back to the old
home town he left as a 17-year-old
homeless lad whose future was as OBJ
Scure as that of a doggie In blizzard
Greenough told society officials he
had roamed through the canyons OF
this lowered town and found it purity
much changed"
The horse cars are gone. The gaslit
street lamps went out long ago, and
even Delmonicos where his father was
cashier is no more.
Almost everythingS changed but
Ben Greenough's gratitude.

When Zane Grey. noted writer
of western stories, died recently at
Altadena. Calf, Ed (Dude) John
son of Helena has double cause TO
mourn: first, because Zane Grey
had been a bOyhOOd friend Of the
Helena man at GAINESVILLE, o.; and
second. because johnson had writ
ten Grey letter several days be-
fore the authors death, but had
failed to mail 1t until just a few
hours before he received news of
Grey's passing.
johnson came to Helena from Ohio
in 1882 and has lived there since. In
1919 he paid 90-day visit to his old
home town. His brothers, VIII, n, and
Harry. II, are still residents of Zanes-
vile.
The association between the John
sons and the Zanes (Zane Grey's ma
ternal lineage). began in 1877, when
Ed Johnson's grandfather, a slave
known as Black Mess johnson, fled
Black Mess was hired by Zane Grey's
grandfather, Col Ebenezer Zane, to
take the youngest of the Zane girls to
GAINESVILLE. where the colonels brother,
Jonathan Zane. operated a ferry
across the MuSkingllm river at the
foot of Zanesvilles main street John
athan Zane's business partner was VIII

Ebenezer Zane's, and the first white
child born in GAINESVILLE. He was killed
in the War of 1912. Silas johnson, the
oldest of Black Mess sons, was the
first negro child born there.
Black Mess journey from Wheeling
to GAINESVILLE was arduouS. He and his
young passenger Travelled on a log
raft, first down the Ohio river then
up the Muskigum. Black Mess pro-
PEELED the craft with a pole.
Arriving at GAINESVILLE, Black Mess
began a service in the Zane family
which was to last until he died in
1870
After Black Mess death, one of the
Zane family, Sarah Zane Young, le-
gally adopted Ed Johnson's uncle, Silas
Johnson. who was Black Mess oldest
son. Silas remained all of his life as
a servant to the family.
Black Mess other sons, including Ed
JohnSon'S father, found other employ
ment but they lived near the Zane
family, and the Helena man knew
Zane Grey well, as a boy.
Mr.. Johnson was hoping, when he
mailed the letter to Zane Grey, that
his friend Of long-gone days would
remember him, and answer He might
have. If the letter had been mailed
when it was written.
"But I'd postponed it months, maybe
even years, already" Mr.. Johnson re-
marked regretfully How could know
that three or four days would make
any difference?"

A first-hand account Of the re-
actions of the French people toward
the war and toward their leaders, was
brought to Montana a few days ago by
Miss Margaret Gordon of Helena,
graduate of Helena high school and
Montana State college. Miss Gordon
was studying art abroad as q member
of the travelling class of the New York
School of Fine and Applied Arts when
the war broke out.
The travelling class was In Italy late
In August when the situation abroad
grew ominous. At that time 1t was
generally believed Italy would be in
volved in the struggle, and the Ameri-
can students were advised to leave.

we could"
Paris on an over crowded train which
moved through the darkness without
lights. In Paris she was advised to get
into the country because Of the pos
sibility Of bombing raids.
Paris, as she left, was becoming a
city of bomb cellars. The bomb cellars,
she recalled laughingly, were either

In the others youl meet a lot Of
people who have been eating garlic.
Went 10 Mayenne
From Paris Miss Gordon went up
into the province of Mayenne-on the
morning Germany moved into Poland.
War was Just around the corner.
Mayenne was quiet and lovely and
the peaceful countryside seemed as
far as the stars from battle-until
one looked at the highways. They were
jammed with trucks moving supplies
and munitions toward the battlefields.
There was no communication except
the French radio.
Then the English armies moved in
on their way to the western front, but
there was no flag waving, no cheering
on the part Of the French people who,
while they win fight to the death to
defend their country, are going into
this war with an attitude stole IN its
grimness.
Miss Gordon spent, three weeks at
Mayenne waiting for things TO quiet
down"-waiting until somewhere near
normal transportation could be re-
stored. Even then 1t took 10 hours to
make the customary six-hor trip to
Bordeaux where she waited three days
for the Shawnee. Things were lively
and gay In Bordeaux with hundreds Of
American tourists waiting for their
ships TO come in so they could get
home. The Shawnee took the southern
route past the Azores and-except for
some rough water-there was no I'M
toward incident to mar the trip.
No Thought Of Defeat
War bites deep into the economic
resources of France and touches the
private life of every person, Miss Cor
don said, yet there Is no thought that
France may be beaten.
Were poor but the Germans are
poorer" Is the brief comment Of the
French peasant.
There is no one left in the fields
but the women, she said, and there are
no young horses left. They've been
requisitioned by the government. There
are no new automobile S-they too have
been requisitioned by the government.
Grain of course is requisitioned.
But Miss Gordon said she detected
no tremendous spirit of malice on the
