or have served part of an ap-
premiership were urged this

flee of the Montana state en-
ployment service in the court

issued by the United States
government.

named are necessary. Require

PLANS FOR REA
MOVE FORWARD
Upper Big Horn And
Lodge Gross Creek
Complete Sign-Up

Plans for early work on the
Big Horn County Rural Electro
fication moved forward rapidly
this week as farmers and ran
cheers in the Upper Big Horn
and Lodge Grass creek areas
completed their sign-up.
A meeting of the Board of
Directors Of the Cooperative
was held on Tuesday, August
10, and contracts between the
Cooperative and the project en-
gineer, James Garrison, were
drawn and sent to Mr.. Garri-
son for signature. The engineer
will then forward them to
Washington, D. c., for final
approval. It was pointed out
that the contracts were import
ant to the identification plans,
since the project engineer must
be in a position to handle work.
mems compensation insurance
and the licenses of the con-
tractor.
Directors said that the Upper
Big Horn area made a good
users-per-mile showing with the
result that the entire Big Horn
up TO the emergency landing
field will undoubtedly be inclu-
ded in the project.
It is hoped that those on Rot
ten Grass creek who are inter-
ested in receiving electrical SER
vice will get together and pro-
cur the necessary number of
signers in that area.
Farmers in the Upper Big
Horn, Lodge Grass creek and
Rotten Grass creek areas who
have not completed their appli-
cations are asked to call at the
court house when they are in
Hardin or to get in touch with
the board members in their ter
ritories at once.
The directors said that they
wished to make it clear that it
is the purpose and intent of the
program to extend the service
to every farmer, rancher and
business man in areas where ell
ectricity is not available, but
it was also pointed out that
in any district there must be
enough users so that minimum
charges will not be prohibitive.

Addresses Kiwdnis
On National Defense

DR.. I. L. Jaynes discussed the
topic of National Defense"
before the Kiwanis club at its
regular wednesday luncheon in
the Masonic temple.
1--WE have a choice of three
defenses, namely, our own Dor
ders, a western Hemisphere or
an ocean Defense" DR.. JayneS
pointed out. "Our defense de-
ponds upon time and we must
meet two detectives in any form
of defense. They are, first, an
emergency sometime within the
coming year as a result of pres
emit European action, and sec
ondly, the construction of a
foundation for any defense.
I'm examining the border
type of defense we find many
weaknesses. Principally an
border defense is a parallel OF
the situation now confronting
Great Britain and which con-
tributed to the downfall OF
France. However, if we combine
the Western Hemisphere with
an ocean defense. we are af-
fording ourselves many outposts
from which to operate our first
lines of defense.
"The present work situation
is no ordinary situation. We are
faced with a problem that calls
for immediate attention and
hating of delays. One of the
by-words in American usage Is
Time is the essence and the
longer we disregard this phrase
the worse off we will be in
preparing or maintaining ade-
quate defenSeS.
MANY new outpoSts and ba-
ses, many miles from our bor-
ders, are being considered or
constructed. Special attention
must be given these bases as
our Front Lines.
"The defense of America and
its whole success depended sole
" upon a defensive offense, an
offense somewhere byond our
borders and backed by the will
and loyalty of every American
man, woman and child"
Kiwanian Hugh G.. Wells do
mated to the Kiwanis Christmas
fund a sum of money equal to
his age, in honor of his BIRTH
day.

Alfdlfu Seed Is
Being Combined

This week farmers in the Sar-
py section began combining alf-
alta seed, and early yields in
dictate that the crop will be
considerably larger in that area
than it was in 1889.
On irrigated farms in the
county, the prospects for a good
seed harvest have improved con-
siderably during the last three
weeks.
In 1889, about $150,00O worth
of alfalfa seed was shipped out
of Big Horn county. It is eX-
pected that this years crop will
gross only about 60 per cent OF
that amount.

Three months preparation for
radio program would seem to be
heading a bit toward the extreme,
but that's what they do in connec-
ton with the Telephone Hour, which
is broadcast at 8 o'clock every Mon
day evening over the red network Of
the National Broadcasting Company.
"This is an unusual procedure in
radio entertainment, but it allows
for the widest margin of protection
in making up satisfactory radio
show said H. E. Deis, commercial
manager for The Ohio Bell Tele-
phone Company in charge of this
exchange.
The mere singing Of song or two
over the air sounds like easy money
