Gets More FooIish Every Hour.


Some Of the orders Of the WPB
seem to get more foolish as each day
passes, Just as if they have moth
ing to do but issue orders. A patriotic
appeal and little urging would be
all that is necessary.
They are taking the voluntary part
out of this war business and appar-
entity seeing just how far people will
be ordered around without raising any
fuss.
The great majority of Americans
do not want to appear unpatriotic but
some things seem just too silly.
For instance, limiting razor blades
so there will be one blade each week
for every shaver. Why not try little
persuasion and ask people to turn in
razor blades to central location
from which they could be returned to
the manufacturer and made over into
new blades. The supply then would
remain constant and everybody could
use as many blades as he wanted.

Federal Government Takes
Over Employment Service

BY order of the President, the
social. security service of the fed
eral government has taken over re-
sponsibility for the direct manage
ment of the employment service IN
Montana, as well as in all other
states. The employees that have
been in charge of employment
service in Montana, under state
control, now automatically become
a part of the U. S. employment
service. The Lincoln county en-
ployment office is therefore now
under u. S. management.
This action was deemed advis-
able because of the unprecedented
demand for workers throughout the
nation, due to the war. This viii
thus coordinate employment work
all over the United States.
