URGES MEN TO
START MINING
Shortage of Min
erdl Workers Is
Cause Of Ruling

The war manpower commits
sion has certified that certain
mining activities are essential to
the support of the war effort.
Montana state headquarters for
s%elective service have stated
that local boards will consider
deferment of registrants en-
gagged in the mining of iron,
copper, lead, zinc, aluminium
mercury, manganese, chromium
molybdenum, tungsten, vanad-
ium, and similar ores and in
the dressing of such ores.
Due to the serious shortage
OF miners and other critical oc-
equations in copper, zinc, and
manganese mines of the state,
it is believed that every man
engaged in such work will have
to be deferred indefinitely.
In cases in which appeals are
taken from the rulings of To-
cal boards, regiStrantS should
continue their work as usual
and not jump to conclusions
that the cases will be decided
against the employer. Selective
service policy is very definitely
in favor of keeping necessary
men in essential activities.
It was further announced al
%selective service headquarters
that registrants classed in liza
and particularly those with
wives and children, should at
tempt to place themselves in
defense industries, including the
mining industry. AS the wal
effort progresses and non es-

KLINE RELEASED
TO WORK FARM

Gov. Sam C. Ford Monday
granted a temporary stay of
sentence to John Kline, whose
conviction of third -degree as
saut resulted in a 90-day Jail
sentence.
The purpose of the governors
action was so that Kline could
"have time to harvest his sugar
beet crop and perform other
necessary farm duties"
Gov. Ford said the county at
torney and district court had
no objection. After the beets
are in, Kline will serve his SEN
tence and pay a $500 fine, also
assessed against him on the
same charge.
1T is made to appear" the
governor said, that if Kline
is compelled to serve his SEN
tence uninterruptedly his crops
will be ruined and thus a sub
Stantial contribution TO the ma
tion's war effort will be totally
lost"

TRY TO GET
JAP LABOR
U. S. Employment
Service Hos Plun
For Beet Workers

Efforts are being made
through the state office of the
U. s. employment service to
bring into Big Horn and four
teen other Montana counties
about 1000 Japanese evacuees
to help harvest beets this fall.
G. c. Lamport, director of the
U. S. E. S. office at Helena,
said farmers are sending their
individual requests for Japan
csc, who will be needed about
Sept. 20, when the dumps open
to receive beets.
Under the u. S. E. S. plan,
every farmer needing help for
the harvest will make a defin-
tie offer of employment by
sending in a form showing the
type Of work, its probable du-
ration, wages to be paid and the
housing facilities to be offered.
If labor is not available from
the usual sources in the locality,
the u. S. E. S. will forward the
offer to WRA for submission
to the japanese at assembly
centers and relocation commu-
mites. When accepted by the
evacuees, the offer becomes a
binding agreemnt subject to ter
mination by either party on five
days notice.
The governor of the state and
local police officers must give
assurances that law and order
will be maintained. Transporter
ton and housing are to be fur
nished by the employer and per-
Vailing wages are paid.
In Billings offers are already
being made. Plans are being
considered there under which
the government might share
with the sugar company the
cost of transporting the Japan
csc to and from the relocation
centers.
Other counties besides Big
Horn which are seeking evacu-.
ees are Carbon, Ravalli, yell
lowstone, Custer, Rosebud, Rich
land, Missoula, Lake, Pondera,
Valley, Phillips, Blaine, Broad
water and Teton.

DO SOME DAMAGE

Grasshoppers continue to do
spotted damage to alfalfa, gar
denS, and other late crops, Jay
G. Diamond, agricultural ex-
pert in Helena, reported this
week. Some farmers are poison
ing along the edges of seeded
winter wheat while others are
holding off seeding until the
hopper menace is past.
It was also stated that saw
fly damage has been very ex-
tensive to grain fields in DAN
iels and Sheridan counties.

livestock is in good condition
and considerable amounts are

URGED TO FINISH
SOL PRACTICES

Little time remains in which
to perform range and soil prac-
tees under the 1912 Tripae-A
program, George G. Miller, CHI
airman of the Triple-A commit
ee this week advised Big Horn
county farmers. Conservation
practices must be completed by
Sept. 80 in order to be included
for payment in the 1912 prog
ram. Practices completed after
that date are considered as COM
pleted during the 1913 program
year, Miller continued.
Conservation practices to de-
velop and improve the soil are
an important part of the Triple
Al program, Miller stated.
Through them farmers with the
help of the agricultural conser-
walton program have completed
and developed many projects
which are a direct benefit to
the nation as a protection Of its
natural resources.
Last year Montana partici-
pants in the Triple-A program
earned $2,780,0OO in soil building
payments which was about 63
per cent of the allowance that
might have been earned. The
most popular practices perform
ed were strip cropping, seeding
grasses and legumes and build
ing reservoirs. Farmers who find
they still have portions of their
1912 soil building payments to
earn have time to perform such
practices as seeding of various
grasses and legumeS and build
ing dams and reservoirs.
Farmers and ranchers should
determine now whether or not
they have earned all their soil
building allowances by contact
ing the local county Triple-A
office.

Historians, pointing to the fact
that 81 Latin-American nations Ell

pared with 13 in the last war, had
expressed the belief that Chile would
be the next one in, and that Pan
American solidarity was on the in
crease, boding well for hemispher-
ic unity in the postwar period.
However, as President-elect Juan
Rios had reached the threshold of
his office following the election,
Adolf Hitler had cabled him ex-
pressing the hope that German re-
lations with Chile might become
even Closer"
Chile and Argentina, at this point
had remained the only two still
maintaining relations with the Axis.
Hitler was quoted as cabling:

the desire that the relations of sim
