Attend Meet
AT Billings

At a meeting of representa-
lives of school lunch projects
of five counties in this district,
which was held in Billings on
Saturday of last week, the Big
Horn county schools were rep
resented by Superintendent w.
j. Shirley of Hardin and Super
intendent R.. J. Brown of
Lodge Grass.
The WPA community service
program, which has charge of
supplying commodities, cooking
and serving the lunches, under
the sponsorship of the school
districts, was represented by
Mrs. Orrin Y. Weir of Hardin.
Mrs. Jessie Moore, district di-
rector of community service
projects of the WPA, presided
at the meeting. She presented
Mrs. Bertha Olson of Butte,
who outlined the work being
done by the program and its
sponsors for the school chill
dren of the state. Mrs. Olson
also led a round table discus
sion on problems of operation
in connection with the pro-
gram. Discussion was also
held on plans for school gar
dens, which may be started to
supply vegetables for the pro-
gram next year.
Surplus commodities are sup
piled to eight schools in Big
Horn county which serve hot
lunches to $50 children. The
WPA furnishes cooks for four
of the larger schools, and tea
cheers prepare the lunch in the
small One-room schools,
Teachers report a better re-
Spouse by pupils after having
a hot lunch at noon.
It is the ultimate aim of the
program to make it possible
for every school child to have
a hot lunch at noon.

Decker Mon
Found Dead

The body of Frank Ruzika,
who, officers said, apparently
committed suicide, was found
last Saturday morning by o.
Dahl near the Dahl ranch
house in the Decker country.
Ruzika had apparently shot
himself with a .38 caliber re-
volver. The bullet wound was
in the right temple.
NeighborS said he had been
respondent for some time. 1t
was thought that he was prob
ably temporarily insane.
Ruzika left a note some time
Friday night at the home of
Roy Clawson. The ClaWsoHs
did not discover the note until
Saturday morning. Mr.. Claw
son was on his way to tele-
phone officers when he met
Dahl and learned that Ruzika
was already dead.
Officers here said that it was
a clear case of suicide and that
no inquest would be held.
Funeral arrangements are
not yet definite.

Heifer Calves
Given By Lions

Melvin Harris of Hardin and
Darlene Seader, young daugh-
ter of Dave Seader, farmer
north of Hardin, were the win
ners of the two jersey heifer
calves given away by the Har-
din Lions club at a dance last
Tuesday evening.
The calves arrived Wednes-
day from Tillamook, Ore. They

Fans Approve
F. F. A Matches

A large crowd of boxing fans
was present for the boxing
matches sponsored by the local
chapter of the Future Farmers
of America last Friday night
in the Junior high school gym.
Many of the fights proved to
be real croWd-pleasers. One
Knockout and three technical
knock-outS were scored. Sew
eral of the battles proved to be
quite CORY, as several of the
lads had noses which were
susceptible to opponents gloves.
Outstanding was Henry Yer
gers K. o. of Marvin Turner.
Yerger showed the class which
earned him a place on the
Montana's Golden Gloves team
last year. Fans also expressed
their approval of the tactics of
Plus Crooked Arm of Crow
Agency, whose fast punches
earned him a technical knock
out over Coil Redding. For a
lad, Crooked Arm looked like
a very polished fisticuffer.
Bud Randall and Clarence
Millspaugh also showed con-
siderable boxing ability.
The fast action in all the pre-
liminary bouts made the main
event, in which Jimmy Rogers
decisioned Manuel Melendrez,
seem somewhat anti climactic.
Results of the bouts were as
follows:
Hugh Linn, decision over
Junior Johnson; Reuben Poor,
technical knock out over Ed
ward English; Jimmy Rogers,
decision over Manuel Melen-
drez; Henry Beck, decision over
Bud Quest; Henry Yerger
Knockout over Marvin Turner;
Ed BearSs, decision over Elmer
Wedel; Clarence Millspaugh,
technical Knockout over Ron
aid Litton; Plus Crooked Arm,
technical Knockout over Coil
Redding; Bud Randall, decision
over Orville Stevens extra
round); Holman Herman, de-
cision over Joe Agrulare.

Hdrdin Mon Takes
Pldne To Engldnd

Thomas D. Campbell, promi-
nent Big Horn county wheat
raiser, left Wednesday of this
week by clipper plane for Eng
land on a secret mission. He
embarked from New York City
and will fly to Lisbon, Portugal
and then to London.
He has spent the last several
weeks comforting with eastern
businessmen in Boston, New

ain as a private citizen and
was not connected with any
person or government. He will
travel on a special passport.
Campbell is well known as a
mass wheat production spe-
cialist and he spent some time
in Russia as an expert ad-
wiser on wheat raising in that
country.
The Campbell Farming cor
poration has thousands of acres
near here that is used for rails
ing wheat. Campbell also has
offices and grazing lands
around Albuquerque, N. Mex,
Much of his time is spent there
in the winter and at Hardin
during the spring and summer
months.
His trip to England was
learned of here two weeks ago
but the news was not made
public until he left this coun-
try.

BILL FOR COUNTY
REFUND SIGNED
Big Horn County To
Get $26.590. Poid To
State Hospitul By Error

Governor Sam C. Ford Sat-
urday signed house bill No. 314
which provided for the refund
ing of SIG, $50, paid by mistake
by Big Horn county to the
hospital for the insane for the
care of patients committed
from this county between 1926
and 1899, County Attorney
Bert w. Kronmiller announced
here this week.
The error in payment was
uncovered in an insanity hear
ing before District Judge Guy
c. Derry early in 1889. It was
found that Big Horn county
had been making regular pay
ments at the rate of $50 per
month per patient. At the
time the mistake was discov-
cred, the county was paying
the sum of $40 a month.
The payment was Immediate
ly stopped, and County Attor-
ney Kronmiler presented a
claim to the Montana State
Board of Examiners for a re-
fund. The claim was unani-
mously approved by the board
in July of last year.

interest in presenting and Sc
curing the passage of house

Agriculture Is
Subject Of Talk

j. c. Taylor, state director of
county extension work ana
Montana district chairman OF
inter-club relations of Kiwanis,
addressed the local Kiwanis
club at its regular Wednesday
luncheon in the basement of
the Methodist church. George
w. GuStafson, local county eX-
tension agent, was also a guest
of the club.
MI. Taylor preceded his
main remarks with an outline
of the work and program
planned by the Montana Dis
trict of Kiwanis in regard to
this years activities in inter-
club work. The state commit
tee, with Mr.. Taylor as chair
man, has outlined two objec-
tives, the encouragement of
club members to visit other
clubs and the sponsorship by
each club of two inter-cluh
meetings.
In his principal address, Mr.
Taylor discussed the difficult
ties that will face agriculture
regardless of the outcome of
World War II.
"Inasmuch as America, in a
sense, is so far from the seat
of war, we are unable to assim-
ilate and correctly understand
the present world crisis in all
its phases" Mr.. Taylor said.
However, we do know that ag-
riculture will and must undergo
further changes in order to
meet coming conditions. Dur
ing the last war, we made
many mistakes in agriculture,
but today, we are in a better
position and are better in
formed to see that we do not
make mistakes in the adjust
ment to come.
Agriculture has materially
changed since World War I,
and even labor and govern
ment, also. Therefore, it is es-
Sential for everyone to attempt
to further their knowledge of
these changes so that nation
ally we can be of one mind
and purpose when necessary.
There are many pros and cons
about agriculture, but if we
make it our purpose to under
stand the present changes we
can be better prepared and Or
ganized to meet the coming
conditions.
There is no food shortage,
contrary to some popular be-
lefs, in America. We have
large stores of wheat, cotton,
and other products. Our live
stock is plentiful, too. But, as
quainted with these facts so as
not to cloud the issues when
a call Is made to readjust our
selves in respect to war.
1T is true that our foreign
markets are practically gone,
but on the other hand, agricul-
ture has been studying trans
planting conditions in North
and South America which will
eventually open and reclaim
two markets within our sphere
of influence.
production away from home
markets Is a big problem and
war has further complicated
this condition, but induction of
vital necessities to growth near
by will offset this worry, for
agriculture has not been asleep
these past few years.
"Then too, this induction of
v1talS nearer our continent will
naturally promote and better
our human and trade relations
with South America. It will
create better understanding of
agriculture and business be-
tween our neighboring nations"
A report on the Kiwanis con-
cert was made by the music
committee.
John K. Rankin will be in
charge Of the meeting of

FEAR AN INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC

The latest study of influenza leads
some physicians to believe that it is not one.
but three, diseases. which is about what
many victims of the malady think.
The experts are somewhat afraid OF
another great flu epidemic which may
sweep over the nation like the seourge that
killed thousands twenty years ago. The
experts may be right and, then again, they
may De wrong. Anyway, there is no use of
worry about it.
Scientific study has not yet revealed
the exact nature of the disease but we know
that medical men of great skill are intensely
interested III the effort to discover the best
method of treating it.
Without any claim to medical knOwl
edge we believe that the development OF
improved treatments for pneumonia, in the
past few years, will save many flu vic
tins. even if there is an epidemic this
Winter.
There is no use to despair because
medical experts have NOT yet solved the
puzzle of influenza. It Is eomfoFtinE 10
know that they are wOrking on il and.
meanwhile, physicians are better informed
about the disease than ever before.

A DAY FOR THE NAVY

Today. the people OF the United States
are observing Navy Day" now broadened
By the President to be 'sNayal and Total De
tense Day"
The safety of the nation, for many
years. rested exclusively upon the navy of
the United States We maintained small
standing army, relying upon the warships
Of the fleet to safeguard the nation against
sudden attack and to give us ample time in
which TO train and equip an army suitable
to any emergency.
The collapse of France and the fear
that TIE British Empire might be beaten by
Adolf Hitler last year, and that units of the
British fleet might come under the control
of Germany, caused the people of this coun-
try to reconsider their position in reference
to the new methods of warfare.
We were then engaged in a great
naval expansion program but the fact that
years would elapse before the fleet could
be enlarged to protect US in two oceans
mad It necessary for the United States TO
prepare an army to take care of any grave
peril that might develop before the new
naval program could be completed.
It should be understood that when we
speak of the United States Navy, are in
Guided the fleet air arm and the shore es-
Establishments that make it possible for the
warships to function efficiently The de-
vslopment of air power has not been over
looked by our naval leaders and dive
bombing. now so much in vogue, was de
yclOped by the American navy.
The Importance of adequate defensive
forces, upon both the Pacific and Atlantic
ocean, is a national duty that is being per-
formed. The size of our fleets depends
upon the size of the fleets maintained By
other nations. especially those that are in
the class of potential enemies. Surely the
protection of our shipping. in all the waters
of the world, is a vital part of the nations
defense.
On Navy Day we would remind the
people of the nation of the experience We
have had with disarmament because, just
as surely as we live. when the present world
emergency expires, there will arise an IN
sistent demand for economy at the expense
OF the fleet. The United States once junked
hundreds of millions of dollars worth of
warships in the belief that disarmament
could be established as a principle between
nations. Today, we need the ships that
were not completed after the last World
War.
As people we should not lose sight OF
the fact that the possession of an adequate
navy will make unnecessary the main
tenance of a stupendous army. With safety
assured in the Atlantic and the Pacific
oceans, where the two-Ocean navy will be
on guard, there will not be need of huge
standing army. This will be economy.
