Stdrt On Monday

Final plans for the raising of
$475. 90, set as the quota for Big
Horn county, for the United
Service Organization, will be
made this week, according to
Willard j. Scott, chairman for

The method used in collecting
the donations will be decided
upon at a committee meeting
to be held the latter part of

ton that is vital to our armed
forces as it gives the soldiers
in the service entertainment

from just a few persons or or
ganizations," Scott said.
The drive will extend through
the week beginning June 8 and
ending June IA, it has been an

FARMERS TOLD
Q LUMBER

Farmers who wish to pur-
chase lumber during the next
go days for construction of farm
storage will have to depend
principally upon stocks now in
the hands of dealers, chairman
George Miller of the Big Horn
county USDA war board has
been advised.
"All sales and delivery of soft
wood construction lumber, ex-
cept to meet needs of the army,
navy and maritime commission,
have been frozen for that length
of time" Miller explained. Ger
tain producers, however, are
exempt under the freezing or
der. These include small saw
mills which during the 80 days
Just before May 10 produced
less than 5000 board fees per
average 8-hour day. This means
that many sawmills, especially
in the western part of the state
may continue to make sales of
sawed lumber so long as pres
ent regulations are in effect"
Another provision of the or
der that may make some adj
ditional lumber available for
construction provides that I'M
der certain conditions authori-
Zation may be obtained from
the WPB for shipment and sale
of lumber by producers not eX-
empt from the freezing order.
"These curtailments and the
possibility that even further re-
StrfctionS may be imposed make
it essential for farmers to i'm
mediately secure lumber neces-
Sary for farm storage construc-
tion," Miller said. Restrictions
already in effect indicate that
farmers will have to obtain
needed construction materials
from every possible source.
These may include abandoning
buildings in towns or on farms.
Some can undoubtedly be re-
paired while others can be torn
down to provide material for
new construction. Many build
ings that are now vacant in
cities and towns could, with
slight remodeling, be converted
into safe, substantial grain stor-
age space.

KIWANIS CLUB
HEARS MILLER

Fred Miller, who is in charge
of the agricultural extension
work on the Crow Indian res
ervation, addressed the men,
bers of the Hardin Kiwanis club
at their regular meeting held
Wednesday noon at the Meth
odist church dining room.
Mr.. Miller discussed the prob
lens confronting the Indian de-
partment relative to teaching
the Indian how to help himself.
During the present period
an effort is being made to make
each Indian family responsible
for his own and his family's
needs in the way of food in so
far as production from gardens
can help" he said.
There are" he stated, 1857
Indian gardens now ON the res
ervation.
"Of all farmers among the
Indians, the greatest percent
age of them live in the Wyola
and Lodge Grass districts. There
are a few farmers who are
dCIlVc1y dt II1C 11dIOA14
and Pryor districts.
The Indians have about 5000
head of cattle and about TOO
horses. They seem to be better
adapted to the growing of live
stock than they are to farming"
He asked the peonle of this
community, and the whites gen.
orally, to assist in this program
by encouraging the Indians
with whom they come in con-
tact. to produce for themselves,
and stated that in the end, the
interest taken by the whites
might result in benefit to the
whites themselves for the rea-
son that the time may come
when these same Indians may
become a public charge unless
they are taught to be self
supporting.
James J. Sloan, lease field
clerk at Crow Agency, was a
guest of the club.
President I. L. Jaynes was
awarded the weeks allotment OF
war stamps.

Does Your Garden Grow?

Recently a clergyman, in the
course of his sermon, illustrated
his point by saying, "You know
you plant roses in the sunshine
and heliotrope and geraniums, but
if you want your fuchsias to grow
you must keep them in the shade"
After the service woman came
up to him, her face beaming with
pleasure.
"Oh, I am so grateful for that
sermon!" she said, clasping his
hand and shaking it warmly. His
heart glowed with this apprecia-
ton of his labors, but it glowed
only for moment. eyes" she
went on, 81 never did know before
