Consideration Of Americas expert
ences in the last great conflict should

TN the World War, eight and one

thirty-seven and one-half millions were
wounded or missing :. and the cost
reached the incomprehensible figure of
one hundred and eighty-six billions of
dollars. No one will ever know the in
direct cost, but everyone will help to
pay as long as he lives.
Our recent depression and vast
economic dislocations are the wars
aftermath. Nothing is gained by war,
but everyone, even the winner, loses .
An overseas veteran himself, he was
particularly disillusiond over the failure
of the objectives fought for.

for democracy. Yet as a result of that
expensive orgy of blood and hate, many

Congressman Harold KnutSon has re-
turned from his European trip and is
again writing a most interesting column
for a string of newspapers in the state.
Mr.. Knutson has a peculiar habit Of
speaking right out in his column on
public matters. In his last letter he
tells of the 1000 million appropriation
estimate asked to carry out the adj
ministration preparedness program, a
trifle more than the amount spent this
fiscal year ended on June 80, or 1000
million dollars or about $50 for every
man, woman and child to be spent in
two years.
He then goes on to state that this
Stupendous sum would build 10000
miles of hard surfaced roads costing
$4,000 per mile or would construct
100000 homes costing $4,000 each with
a thousand dollars worth of furniture

for? The Miner believes in pre-

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Switzerland, right in the midst of
warning nations, whose population is of
French, German and italian descent, is
an example of neutrality worthy of
emulation. 1t might be said that the
little country cannot do otherwise, but
they might get embroiled in the conflict
raging about them if they failed to
live up to neutrality to the letter and
failed to keep their nose clean.

Last year the double play combina-
ton in Europe was Hitler, to Mussolini,
to Franco. This year it seems to be
Stain, to Hitler, to Stain. Everyone
is wondering what Russia is going to
do but it is very likely that she won't
do anything until she can march in
quietly and pick up the pieces.

To Hold Gloss
For Parents

The organization of a new
Sunday school class for parents
at his church has been an
nounced by Ernest W. Denning,
minister to Methodists. The
group will meet March S at 10
o'clock for the first time.
Within a comparatively few
years there has been evidence
of real hunger on the part of
parents for guidance in the
problems of Christian training
in the home and this class has
been organized to fill that
need, Mr.. Denning stated.
The group will meet with the
rest of the Sunday school for
the first ten minutes of the
hour and then adjourn to its
own quarters to discuss parental
problems. The particular group
for which the class is being or
ganized is that group of par
entS who have young people of
high school age or recently out
of high school (14-20 years..
1t is not intended that this
group shall in any way compete
with the present Sunday school
organization since the parents
will probably meet in session
only until June l. In the fall,
if some of them wish, the group
may reconvene.
christian education in the
home and family" commented
Mr.. Denning recently, "is not
merely the observance of Ger
tain religious customs, but q
process which results in the
development of Christian char
acter: It is not learning facts
to live. .As it's goal, Christian ed
ucation has the abundant life"
When asked about a teacher
for the class, the Methodist
pastor stated that while he was
not in a position to teach" the
class, he did intend to lead the
group in discovering for itself
solutions to parental problems.
The methods to be used are
discussion of problems, planning
experiments, reporting expert
ences, exchanging opinions and
ideas, and occasionally the
pastor-leader hopes to have
a speaker from the outside or
special reports from the men,
bers of the group.
While the group will consider
practical issues of Christian ed
ucation of youth as its primary
activity. there will be the pro-
per reference to Biblical and
other definitely religious mater
ials for helps and guidance.

Receive Applications
For Crop. Feed Looms

Applications for emergency
crop and feed loans for 1889 are
now being received at the coun-
ty agents office by Faye Brad
ley, field supervisor OF the en-
Urgency crop and feed loan sec
ton of the Farm Credit ADJ
mlnistration.
The loans will be made as
in the past, only to farmers
whose cash requirements are
small and who cannot obtain
credit from any other source.
The money loaned will be linn
tied to the farmers immediate
and actual cash needs for grow
ing his 1889 crops or for the
purchase Of livestock.
Farmers who can obtain the
funds they need from an in
dividual, production credit asso-
citation, bank, or other concern,
are not eligible for crop and
feed loans from the Emergency
Crop and Feed Loan section of
the Farm Credit administration.
The loans will not be made to
standard rehabilitation clients
whose current needs are pro-
vided for by the Farm Security
administration, formerly known
as the Resettlement administra-
ton.
AS in the past, farmers who
obtain emergency crop and feed
loans will give as security a
first lien on the crop financed,
or a first lien on the livestock
to be fed if the money borrowed
is to be used to produce or pur-
chase feed for livestock.
Where loans are made to ten
ants, the landlord, or others
having an interest in the crops
financed or the livestock to be
fed, are required to waive their
claims in favor of a lien to the
governor of the Farm Credit adj
ministration until the loan is
repaid.
Checks in payment of ap-
proved loans will be mailed
from the regional Emergency
Crop and Feed Loan office at
Spokane, Wash.
MI. Bradley is, in the county
agents office every Wednesday.

said novelty company had some
difficulty in placing some OF
his slot machines in the state
OF Montana and complained to
Mr.. McCrone of the fact that
Mr.. Freebourn had not lived up
to his agreement. Later the
owner of the novelty company
went personally and talked to
Mr. Freebourn about the matter,
and MI Freebourn stated that
it would require an additional
payment of three thousand dol
lars, and on the goth day of
May, 1887, said owner of the
novelty company handed to Mr..
McCrone the sum of One thous-
and dollars in cash, and he
and Mr.. McCrone, proceeded in
to Mr. Freebourn'S office, and
MI. McCrone, then and there,
in the presence of said owner
of said novelty company, paid
to Mr.. Freebourn said one
thousand dollars for the pur-
pose hereinbefore mentioned.
In this report we have not
tried to recite to you the testi-
mony in full, and have mere
ly given you the gist of the
testimony of witnesses, who
were sworn and testified before
said subcommittee, all of which
testimony was reduced to writ
ing, and subscribed and sworn
to by the various witnesses.
We might state further, how
ever, that William McCrone
was sworn and examined by
said subcommittee, but when
proper inquiry was made of him
regarding his knowledge of the
aforesaid transaction, he re-
fused to answer upon the
ground and for the reason that
any answers he might make to
said questions might incrim-
mate him, and he said that
he elected to stand upon his
constitutional rights and re-
fused to testify regarding said
matters.
In conclusion this committee
desires to state to this body
all of the matters and things
hereinbefore set forth, can, In
it's opinion, be fully substantial
ed by competent evidence. Now,
therefore, your committee res
pectfully submits the above
findings and recommends as
