expects to have representatives,
Mrs. William v. Johnson and
Mrs. Charles Penson, at the

This action came about fol-
lowing a mass meeting of more
than 60 business and profession
al men and farmers held We'd
nesday night at the courthouse
here.
After a long discussion at the
meeting Wednesday it was an
nounced that all possible sour
ces of labor had been depleted
and it was now on the shoulders
of local people. w. Lyle Bell re-
ported that he had talked by
telephone to L. Roy Cool who is
now in California trying to re-
cruit laborerS. MI. Cool has
been in northern California and
southern Oregon. He told MIR.

SPECIAL CHINk
SEASON CLOSES
Heavy Kill Given
As Reason For
BON On Pheusonts

The special Chinese pheasant
season in Big Horn, Yellowstone
and Treasure counties closed
Wednesday night after a ruling
by State Game Warden j. s.
Mcfarland.
DR.. Mcfarland made an ex-
tensive tour of the three coun-
ties, before announcing last
Friday that the season would
be closed Oct. 7. This was in
accordance with the five-d day
notice stipulation of the state
fish and game commission at
the instigation of the special
season.
It has not yet been decided
whether the three counties will
be open for hunting pheasants
during the regular season
which opens Oct. Is and closes
Nov. IS, Mr.. Mcfarland said.
If the commission sees fit to
open the season at that time,
he will recommend a limit of
one hen in each bag of five
birds.
Il believe the unusually heavy
kill to date has decreased the
pheasant population in these
three counties to a stage where
a happy medium between far
mers, at whose behest the sea-
son was opened, and sportsmen
has been reached" DR.. McFar-
land explained.
Disseminating the season at
this time. even though it is re-
opened Oct. Is, will give the
young about IT days in which to
feather out and gain weight"
he added. ITO date young birds
have constituted about 80 per
cent of the average kills, a ratio
which if continued would elm

HARLOW GETS
WIN SATURDAY

Hardin high schools football
team was on the short side of a
% to o score Saturday in a
contest with the HarlowtoWn
eleven in Harlowtown.
Counters came in the first,
third and fourth quarters. In
the initial cantoj Achenbach
was tackled behind Hardin's
goal line to score a safety and
two points for Harlow.
Mark Edison went around
right end for 10 yards for the
third quarter tally, and also
crossed Hardin's goal line in the
fourth period. Other touchdowns
in the final minutes of the game
were made by Holloway and
Dickman, with Satake and Sor-
enson accounting for extra
points on line plunges.
Ken Brown, Hardin quarter
back, received a leg injury in
the first quarter which kept him
out of the remainder of the
game.
The Bulldogs relied more on
an aerial game than did Har-
lowtown, completing nine out of
20 passes. Harlow tried only 10,
and completed only four of
them. The local eleven, however,
were unable to stop the running
plays of their opponents.
Columbus, rumored to have a
very powerful squad this year,
IS the next Hardin adversary.
The game will be played at Col
umbus on Friday, Oct. g.

Democrats Pldn
Quiet Campaign

At a recent meeting, the Big
Horn County Democratic CEN
tral committee decided not to
engage in any political activi-
ties this year that would require
extensive use of tires, gasoline
or money, and not to hold poll
tical rallies.
This step was taken after con-
siderable discussion of the need
to conserve gasoline, rubber and
funds.
It was reported to be the opin-
ion of everyone present that
every effort should be made to
conserve all these things for the
more vital campaign to win the
war.

STILL NEED
SCRAP METALS

B. j. Schmit, chairman of the
Big Horn county salvage COM
mittee, pointed out this week
that the statewide propaganda
that "the junk yards are full
of scrap and the mills are
begged down" is false and mis-
leading.
According to Information re-
ceived here by MI. Schmit,
William E. Rae of Havre, chair
man of the state salvage COM
mittee says that he is glad to
hear the yards appear well fill
ed. These Junk yards are the
scrap factories" that turn out
the finished scrap, sorted, brok-
en- up and in some cases bundl-
ed, ready for the mills of the
nation. The scrap has to be put
in shape and sorted, and it
keeps going through fast, says
Mr.. Rae.
Attention was called to the
fact that all the scrap cannot
be taken care of at once. Junk
men cannot handle it and mills
cannot store it. However, every
pound is needed and will be
used. 1t must, in fact, be ready
for instant use at any time.
1.-The day the junk yards are
empty" stated E. J. Keely, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Mon
tana conservation division of
the WPB, when the auto
graveyards are cleaned out,
when all the local stockpiles are
gone : that is the day to dread =
it is the day to avoid at all
COSTS"

when the little fellow wants to say
the fact that others

Either their conversation doesn't

White Promises
To Raise Status
OF Sweaters
BY ELEANOR GUM

NEW YORK - Winter cottons
~ play a major role in the social
comedy, the plot of which concerns
a girls efforts to be well dressed
and warm at low cost. The back-to-
school scenes were costumed in
cotton and the Stay-at-homes just
naturally figured that since they
were smart enough for the student
body they were smart enough for
the rest of us. Of to school. too,
went sweaters by the carload.
Sweaters are must for every
man. woman and child who faces a
fuel rationed winter. Another rea-
son given for the increased interest
in them is that there are many
women workers who feel that the
sweater fills their need. Since wool
is hard to get, there is a certain
class of woman that wants and
must get it while the getting is
good.
Colors vary. White Is liked, also
black, and. at the moment. the law
ender to purple range. and spice.
There are old standbys like red and
Kelly green, navy, aqua yellow and
the nursery pinks and blues. An
goras and brushed wool models are
high on the college girls list OF
preferences. Classic sets Of cardi-
gan and pullovers are as good as
wheat, but when a girl. or woman,
buys one sweater. shes likely to
take the cardigan-it is so much
easier to get in and out OF. -
Since there Is more than a grain
of common sense In all prescrip-
tions for good dressing. it stands to
reason that fur fabrics are counted
among the hot" items. Novelty
coats, most OF them definitely cas-
ual. made Of these fabrics. are
cherished by holders OF gas ration
books. for they are warm and look
right behind, or beside. the wheel.
Especially that's so when topped
by a beret. Berets. as everyone
knows. are among the many hats In
the ring.
Most hats are. however. both
high in color and high in fact.
Crowns have risen to staggering
proportions and the bows and such
that trim them raise them even
higher.
If you insist on being different.
you can wear a fiat hat with soar
ing feather. Who cares? Certainly
not Dame Fashion, who refuses to
be considered a dictator and is. in
consequence. going TO the other
extreme.
