that baseball will serve during war

present shortage of beet labor.

present shortage of beet labor.
The Beet Grower associations
of the entire state and, with
one exception, the Professors
of beet sugar have spent con-
siderable time and money in,
apparently, a futile effort to ar
range in some satisfactory man.
ner, a plan to utilize some of
the thousands of evacueeS that
must be removed from the vital
war zones of the Pacific Coast
in the beet fields of Montana.
After many years of rigid
suppression of the beet sugar
industry - if not a downright
determination to put it out of
business altogether by the po-
wers that be the Department
of Agriculture has set minimum
goals for each of the beet grow
ing areas for 1912. Big Horn
county has been asked to pro-
duce 13,245 acres of sugar beetS,
which means that we are asked
to produce about 1000 acres
more this year than last - and
it could easily be done if we
had the labor in the picture to
do the job. Big Horn county
needs a total of twelve to four
teen hundred workers to do that
job. We wonder if Jimmie Ora
ham - labor leader of Butte,
can get us those workers. In
using Japs for this work we
wouldn't be replacing available
labor - as he says - because
labor for this work is not avail
able. BUT WI WOULD BE DO
ING (first) - a patriotic duty
to the country by helping the
Army to evacuate about 100, 900
alien and doubtful Americans
from the vital coast area -
where they could do a lot of
harm - to a place in the war
where they could do a lot OF
good and secondly, we would 60
a long ways in the supplying of
a necessity that the people of
the country are gonna be damn
short of before the smoke clears
away. Would it be better to put
them in a camp and do nothing
and have 'em to feed, or would
it be better to put 'em to work
to help produce something we're
short of? It's your guess.
Jimmie" also states - quote:
1.-THE availability of labor sour
ces other than Jap has not
been investigated by those
whose selfish greed seek to place
personal, or political, profit
above the peace and security OF
our citizens by importing into
our state thousands of danger

that you postpone sending Japs

such time as it is impossible
to secure Mexican or other la
Dor. We are trying to find a
solution for the anticipated or
ASSUMED beet labor shortage"
lend quote) Now, we personally
know Jimmie - altho he passed
us in the Capital building In
Helena the other day and never
said Hello - go to hell - or
nothin'. He muSt've had a MAD
on - and he's not a bad guy.
Just the same we are inclined
to think that Jimmie doesn't
understand all he knows about
the sugar beet business and
much less does he care. If he
thinks that beet growers are
going to plant an intensive and
expensive crop like sugar beets
land beets are ready to go IN
the ground now and depend
upon him or anyone else to
scout around and try to find
labor for them under the pres
ent picture, he's crazier than we
think he is. And if he or any
one else thinks that the beet
grower is motiVated by selfish
greed and profit" in trying to
raise a crop of beets in 1912 -
we might suggest that it Is a
simple mathematical problem to
definately discover that beet
growers will receive less net
money for beets this year than
they did last year, unless the
sugar picture Is decidedly
changed from what it is now.
The field is decidedly open il
the ALL. or the CLIO. or the
Farmers Union or the Fedora
Farm Bureau want to get in the
beet growing racket. There are
no dogs in our manger.
AS a matter of statistics we
might say that 13,245 acres Of
sugar beets at a twelve ton av-
erage would mean 158,940 tons
of beets. At % dollars per acre
for hand labor on a twelve ton
average would bring the labor
bill to $370,860. Based on a con-
sentative sugar content, 1853
tons of beets would produce
about AS 900 bags of sugar. AS
Stunning that the growers re-
ceived nine dollars per ton fol
their beets - and its some
what of a rash assumption -
but anyhow, you fellows in Har-
din figure it out for yourselves
- we're all figured out or "out
fingered" might perhaps be the
right word.
However we might add that il
anyone is interested in knowing
what the Growers final answer
is out of that nine dollar pei
ton check - after the cob
webs an dust an chirography
is cleaned off of said check -
and want to know just how
greedy" the beet grower i:
compared to the rest of the
wolf pack - we can give ZEN
that answer too.

DRAMATIZES CONFLICT
johnson has a lot of respect
for this work by Steinbeck, and
he believes that the author S
viewpoint was unfairly interpre-
ted and criticized as some
what absurd preachment of the
inevitable triumph of gentle
goodness over evil. However,
there's going to be some right
eous and violent anger in the
movie.
THE main reason the play
was disappointing" johnson
suggested, was because it failed
to show the actual conflict bet
tween natives and invaders.
The play seemed to imply
that if you frown at a German
soldier he becomes neurotic
and discouraged, but that was
about all the play could do. On
the screen we can show 1900
people watching these guys
until they feel haunted. We can
study the feeling of German
who has ordered a glass of beer
and is conscious of all the hat
ing, watchful stares, and who
begins to wonder whether the
stuff may be poisoned.
PACKS A PUNCH

ing of the soldier, and the bust
ness of the railroad siding be-
ing blown up five times, and
the arrival of the dynamite. The
camera can put in most of the
CUTS that the drama lacked"
Johnson doesn't believe that
patient resentment is going &c
squeeze the enemy out of Nor
way or win a war. But he does
believe, as Steinbeck did, that
it's good idea to represent the
Germans as human beings who
can develop filters and misgiv'
ings.

wiped that town off the eorth and that
name off the records.
There is q brute-ike stupidity in
such q settlement that ostounds the
civilized mind. Doubtless the first cove
man who ever brought club down on
his neiehbor's skull supposed that that
wos all there was to the problem Of
mastering his environment.
The first thought to occur to any
humane reader of the poleolithc Nozi
phroseoIoey was thot this was no end
but q beginning, that q name like Ii
dice's con only be written deeper into
history by such acts. Little Lidice will
be known and loved long otter the
Nozi monster has been swallowed up
in the dark forgetfulness that OF lost
shrouds mems evil deeds
Another thought to occur to q free
man was that Lidce would live, not
only in honored memory, but again as
q village Of quiet homes and happy
families. But this even q lover of lib
erty may not have foreseen on that sod
doy: that because the Nozis tried to
destroy one Lidce, there would in the
future be two.
Thousands Of miles from the char
red spot in CzechosIovokio that will be
forever Ldice, ono her town has
sprung up to bear that name. If the
Nozis want something for their history
books they can now record this: While
they we're wiping out village whose
most costly remembered features we're
its church steeple and its harmless folk,
they we're making sure that elsewhere
and where more optIy than in Hi
nois? - town would grow up dedi-
coted to the proposition that world
cannot live half civilized and half
Nozi.
As Wendell WIIkie, speaking at
exercises at the new Lidoe, said: mo
contrast could be greater than the
peaceful Ldice the Nozis thought they
had destroyed and this Illinois country,
alive with factories in which the arms
Of victory are being forged. But tell
you thot the two are related"
Yes, and for every good thing, for
every harmless, innocent being, or
thought or deed, that the Nozis would
destroy or pervert, there will grow up
q counterpart With the wisdom and the
might not to ovenee, but to restore and
to improve. In q world where there was
one lidoe, there will be two; for every
merciful impulse, there will be two; for
every free man, two free men. This is
the answer Of lidice, Illinois, to lidce,
CzechosIovokio - and the message Of
