increased over that of past
years, additional factories and
other facilities will be needed.

product are resumed. They can
not afford to increase and ex-
pand their production and fac

again this week the Victory
Book campaign appeals to per-
sons in Big Horn county tc
share their books with the SOL
dterS, sailors and marines by
donating them to the campaign
in order that they may be en-
joyed by men in the armed
forces.
It is reported that some books
have been coming in, but far
too slowly. Out of ten million
books needed only two million
have been raised so far through
out the United States.
With every American ship
that has been sunk, the boats
library, consisting of campaign
books has gone to the bottom.
The American Merchant Mar
inc association estimates that
approximately 10000 volumes
have been lost since Dec. 8,
1941.
With the army and navy .ex-
pected to reach a total of seven
million men many good books
will be needed. Urgent requests
are being made that good up
to-date books of adventure,
history, biography, travel, poet
ry, religion, aviation, radio and
humor be donated to the cam
paign.
Books may be left at the To-
cal library in Hardin or in the
branch libraries in Crow Agency,

kIWAN|S CLUB
HEARS WEAVER
Speaker Compares
World War I With
Present Conflict

Charles A. Weaver of Billings,
president of the Reserve Off
GERS Association of Montana,
was guest speaker at the XII
wants luncheon held wednesday
noon at the dining room of the
Methodist church.
Mr.. Weaver as just been called
for examination to do officers
service in the army.
He told of his experience in
the first World War and con-
traSted that wal with the pres
ent conflict. He stated that the
one thing outstanding which
could cause us to lose the war
is the apathy and complacency
of the people of America.
1--WE cannot take victory for
granted. We are facing thirty
millions of seasoned soldiers of
the enemy nations while our
allied troops IT mostly raw and
unframed by lack of experience
in actual warfare. We are a
democracy and our army and
navy and other forces fight in
accordance with public senti-
ment to a large extent. We
might lay the blame for what
happened at Pearl Harbor to our
own feeling of security because
the heads Of the forces there
were largely guided by what the
people were thinking at the time
it happened. The citizenry must
awaken now to our real danger
lest we lose the fight. This war
will not be an easy one and it
probably will last from five to
ten years. Every citizen wheth-
er he be in the service at the
front or at home, must realize
that he has a part to perform
and that he will be called upon
to act and that he must be
prepared to act when called" he
stated.
It was announced that Kiwan-
ian DR.. M. L. Fisher had been
called for service in the army,
and IN accordace with an an
nounced plan, the club will
honor his departure into service
at the next meeting.
Roy Chambers was indicted
into the club as a new member.
Jerome Tenyes was a guest of
the club.

Discusses Roads And
Beet Labor With
OEi.iuls There

Dan W. Maddox, state sena-
tor from Big Horn county, re-
turned to Hardin last weekend
after spending a day in Helena
discussing road problems with
state officials there.
Senator Maddox reported that
prospects for work on the St.
Xavier road looked favorable
He stated that he planned to
go to Washington, D. c., to urge
federal authorities to relax re-
StrictionS on immigration of
Mexican agricultural workers.
He said that this section of
eastern Montana needed more
than 500 additional laborers
this spring to handle the sugar
beet crop if it did not exceed
$4,000 acres, and from 1000 to
1900 field workers if the crop
was expanded, as planned, to
cover approximately $4,000 acres.
I'VE shall have to bring in
at least 500 to 900 workers, in
addition to using all available
local labor, if we are to pro-
duce sugar from $4,000 acres"
he said. Our growers want to
increase this acreage to Is, 900
to 10000 to provide more sugar
for the victory program, but
they must be assured of at least
1000 to 1900 additional workers
If they are to do it,"
Senator Maddox said growers
in his district perferred Mexi-
can agricultural labor to any
other because the Mexicans
were better workmen.

100000 Tons of Beet
Sugar for 1912

Under the existing emergency
conditions it is clear that beet
growers should plant every acre
of beets that the professors can
handle, and also a few addition
al acres to offset possible crop
failures. Last year many process
Ing plants were idle. Even in
1910, the record year when
more than 1900, 900 tons of beet
sugar was produced, some factor
les were idle. With prices of
$3.50 to $3.50 per ton assured
for beets, and with ample time
for crop planning, we should set
a goal of not less than two mil
lion tons of beet sugar for 1912.
Let's look at the consumers side
of the sugar picture.

Beet News
From The Bulletin
Of The Western
Growers Association
Beet Sugar Our Largest
Source of Supply

More than 1000, 900 tons of
sugar was delivered for con-
sumption in continental United
States last year. It is now Ger
tain that the Philippines quota
of one million tons will not be
delivered in 1912. Large blocks
of Cuban sugar have been al
!otted for purpose of conversion
into alcohol to be used in man
ufacture of munitions, and for
delivery to United Nations.
Shortages of ships will serious
ly delay shipments from Hawaii
and other offshore areas. The
present estimate is that $780,
600 tons of sugar will be avail
able for consumption in the
United States during 1912, how
ever. changes in the war situa-
ton may also change the am
cunt of sugar finally available
for use.

An EXCEPTION

In her aduice to Norma BrotUn,
Kathleen Norris makes an e1cep-
ton to her rule against divorce.
Usually, she feels, diUorce is just
a lazy and immature tUay of set
Ting grievances that are far less
important than the integrity of
the home and the unity of the
family group. Read Norma
Bro,0n's letter carefully before
you say to yourself that your
problem, too, can only be solued
by divorce. And remember that
you may lose more than you gain
by divorce. 1t is still last re-
sort, and things must be very bad
indeed before it is tOorth the sac
ritfce it inevitably means.

"My mother is well-fixed; she has
always despised Fred; she would
gladly take me and my two children
in and I could be of real help to her,
for she takes summer boarders and
has few boarders all the year. But
she keeps fine colored cook and
her daughter and what would do
would be only light work. am
thirsting for escape and for freedom.
Fred, suppose, would Immediately
marry his nurse.
What She Would Do.
"She practically told me the other
day that in my place she would pack
the girls off to school and get in a
good servant, so it may not be all
roses for him, but that isn't my af-
fair. My husband has never shown
any affection for Ellen, my baby,
and my old doctor told me as a
joke that her fathers welcome of a
third daughter was hearty curse.
"Well, I have written you my
problem. Am 1 justified in getting
a divorce, in your opinion?"
It was a foolish union from the
first, for anyone with eyes in her
head could see that such a house
hold was no place for young wife
and a small boy. Yes, I think you
would be justified in legally ending a
union that never was real marriage,
and in living hereafter. for your
mother and your children. 1t is a
strange thing that man like Fred
can present the prospect to various
women so charmingly that they are
willing to sacrifice common sense
and reason to leap into matrimony
with him; certainly his Office nurse
has had every chance to study the
situation.
That you were young, plunged in
grief, and that you had always
looked upon Fred as sort of big
brother and guide, is your excuse;
I hope you'll be a little more care
full about third experiment At q
you still have plenty of time to con-
slider the serious thing that mar
riage is.
Fred could dispute your divorce,
for in your state nothing that he
has done is actionable. But if he is
thinking of marrying his nurse he
may not interfere with your going to
Reno to establish a six-weeks' resi-
dence.
Unjust Treatment.
One would like to be able to get
into the mind of man like that, to
find out just what he thinks he is,
an East Indian Sultan or Superman
or what? Not only to impose upon
you himself, but to allow two un-
trained selfish girls to walk rough
shod over you; to restrict your
purse, criticize your appearance,
poison your first joy in your baby by
a curse at her sex, and abandon you
whenever he wants to 60 on a pleas
ure trip, is to treat you as though
you were merely a mechanical de-
vice in his household and not wom-
an at all.
We're a queer laundering lot, we
humans, and don't seem to know
what is wisdom, or what makes for
our happiness.
A man of % was sentenced to Jail
recently; for 20 years his father and
mother had been helping him break
the law. His tantrums, his mischief,
his running off with cars, stealing
