Rural Aera Has
IS Per Cent Or
Quota To Raise

In the fourth war loan drive, war
bond purchases to Feb. l totaled
$20,575 for the credit of the Laurel
rural area. The quota is $57 1000.
Thirty-five per cent of the quota
has been raised, but the biggest
part of the job lies ahead.
There are approximately 200
families in the Laurel rural area,
Is. Meyer Harris, sponsor, estimates.
To meet the quota the average pur-
chase must be $3.50 per family, and
to maintain that average it will be
necessary for many families to buy
greater amounts.
The committee has contacted
many of the families in the area,
for the loan will close officially on
Feb. Is. 1t is the hope of the COM
mittee that every family will buy
to the limit of their ability. More
and larger purchases will have u
be made if the goal is attained.

Support Price Or Beets
Is Hailed In Town and Country As
Likely To Bring Record Production

Widespread satisfaction over an
increased support price from the
federal government for sugar beets,
announced late in January, was eX-
pressed here the past week by resi-
dents of town and country. WFA
announced a support price of $3.50
a ton, dependent on favorable legis-
~lation, as compared to 81 a ton last
year, which is expected to greatly
improve the status of the sugar beet
crop in relation to potatoes and
beans. The latter were more at
tractively priced last year. For
more than 80 years, sugar beets
have been a major crop in this sec
ton of the Yellowstone valley.
F. H. Huddleston, president of
the Mountain States Beet Growers
Marketing association, said: "This
is the highest price for sugar beets
in the history of the industry and
will mean an increase of one and
half million dollars for the Bill
lings factory beet growers above
the 1913 price for an average crop"
The VIA support prices of such
competitive crops as dry beans, peas
and potatoes were left at about
their prevailing levels.
Asked for an expression concern
ing the action on the sugar beet
B. NJ. Harris, president of the
Yellowstone banks at Laurel and
Columbus, said: MARVIN Jones,
food administrator, has just IN
nounced another up in the price of
beets, which on a basis of
1913 crops, should yield about $3.50
per ton to the grower. This is the
price yet paid for beets in
this area. While experience with
Iabor and unfavorable weather in

APPEAL MADE FOR
PH0N0GRAPH DISCS
Legion, Auxiliary Again Ask
ing For Material Needed By
Men In Service and Hospitals

During the last two years the
American Legion and the American
Legion Auxiliary have canvassed
Laurel and vicinity several times
for scrap records and have shipped
some 400 pounds to San Francisco.
However, there is an urgent need,
if not greater today than v e be-
fore, for more and more phono-
graph records, which are converted
into new recording sets and dis
tributed to armed forces all over
the globe. While no doubt most of
the available old records have been
collected here, there may be some
that people of this community have
not turned in and would be glad
to give to this worthy cause.. Now,
because there is such an urgent
need for records, the Auxiliary and
are making another appeal
for records and invite anyone who
have one, a dozen or a hun
dred to bundle them up and leave
them with Mervin Price at the
Sande drug store in Laurel.

Near the close of the concert, Price
introduced j. X. Heebner, chairman
Of the railroad division of the war
loan; Peter ID. Thomson, mayor of
Laurel; and b. NJ. Harris, chair
man of the seventh group of Mon
tana counties. All made brief ad-
dresses. A Wave, Anita Orndorff,
was in the audience and was pre-
scented.
The railroad workers were told
that no attempt would be made at
selling bonds as part of the con-
cert, but that all sales would be
handled in the usual by the
regular committees. Price explain
ed that as the workers could not
leave their jobs to hear the band,
the band had been brought to them.
Following the concert, officers
and members of the band were
guests of the Laurel Commercial
club at lunch at the Yellowstone
cafe.

GORMAN, SPEAKING FOR
V.F.W., TO ENCOURAGE
BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT

Inspired by the thirty-fourth an
niversary of the Boy Scouts of
America, which falls in February,
the thirty-ninth in the series OF
"Speak Up For Democracy" talks
being sponsored by the Veterans of
Foreign Wars of the U. S. will
emphasize the Importance of educa-
ton of youth in Americanism.
The address will be delivered by
Frank j. German over station
KGHL at 10:45 a. M, Sunday,
Feb. g..
"The achievements of the Boy
Scouts of America symbolic the
hopes and aspirations of u or
ganization for Americas future"
Commander A. T. Duvall of Billings
post No. 1884 explains.
"Hitler's armies are composed Of
men who were trained as children
to think only in terms of Germans
as the master ace. They believe
in Hitler and his twisted Ideals
simply because they were taught
nothing else as children and stu
dents.
"Here in America we can insure
the security of our democracy in
the future by teaching our children
of today the real meaning of Amer
icanism. We have been casual and
careless about teaching American
ism to our children in the past. We
have learned that we must teach
Americanism with the same zeal
which Hitler adopted in his educa-
tional campaign for the develop
ment of Nazis who would never
question his insane principles"
The "Speak Up For Democracy'
series of radio broadcasts is deliv-
cred on the eleventh day of each
month by speakers on Approximate
ly ATS stations. However, this
will be delivered on Feb. 3,
ushering in national Boy Scout
week. The talks represent a major
phase of the Americanism activi-
ties being sponsored by the nation
al organization in cooperation with

LAWYER SPEAKSs0N
SOC|AL|zED MEDICINE

William j. Jameson, a Billings at
torney, spoke here Tuesday before
the Rotary club on "Socialized Med
icine," His address included a
background description of sociolog-
ical trends observable in recent
years and some of the responding
Legislation coming from or pro-
posed in Washington.
Among measures is a bill to give
the surgeon general great eXecu-
tive powers in administration Of
public health and leading to "regi-
mentation' of doctors, as the speak
err expressed it. Jameson pointed
to the possibility of the profession
becoming dependant on politics
than on individual records
of satisfactory service to patients.
He said in effect that the medi-
cal profession had long ago recOg-
nized the need for medical insurance
for persons in the low income
brackets and that in various places
there had come various forms of
prepayment, which e to oper-
tie satisfactorily where employed.
Some such system more extern
;ively used was regarded as a pos
;ible solution, and a prevention for
and bureaus interfering
With the medical profession.

the past two years has made sugar
beet culture difficult, the fact does
remain that to have a sound agrl-
culture, we need a diversified pro
gram which includes rotation of the
crops and feeding of livestock. The
~byproducts from beets, including
tops and pulp, are becoming in
creasingly important as the price
of feed moves up and is another
reason why sugar beets should re
tain a place in the farm program"
From B. A. Sherrow, service sta
ton operator with ranch and live
stock interests, came this statement;
"At the announced price of beets
l do not think there is any other
crop that could be raised that would
pay the farmers as well as the beet
crop would in 1914"
C. l.. Morris, proprietor of the
Laurel Trading company, said: "The
announced is excellent and
should lead to an increased planted
acreage in 1914"
