An Open Letter to the Members Of the

Reprinted from The Yellowstone
Gentlemen:

For months the Billings Commercial Club has been
the headquarters of the fight against the Missouri
pirate that at this time lay before members of the Club
whose has been paying for gotten
salient facts about the MVA well lay before
the public of the false statements and misstae
ments made and sent out by your officers.
In your Commercial Club News dated February g. 1916
the following statement appeared:
The ntegrated plan of the Bureau Reclamation and
the Army Engineers provides Montana for the irrigation Of
$3.50 of land supplying of supplemental water
to $4,000 not now assured OF sufficient water in the
Yellowstone basin the upper Missouri basin above
Fort Peck dam Irrigation, flood control power navigation
the four factors most important to the full of the basins
(bod face ours in the Flood Control bill Oh B. 4485) This
is an epochal in the history of the basin"
Anyone reading the above would be entirely justified
assuming and believngand clearly ntendedthat
everything necessary for the of this had
acres of new land Yellowstone would be
gated Isn't that what the words assured complete develop
ment' mean?
What are the facts?

the extent that any law or regulation
igoverning the employment or payment
of employees of the United States is
Inconsistent Herewith, the said law or
regulation shall not apply to matters
covered by the corporations contracts
with its employee representatives.
Subsection (c) of section 81 pro-
vides as follows:
"In the employment selection, clas-
sification, and promotion of officers
and employees of the corporation, no
political test or qualification shall be
permitted or given consideration, but
all such employments and promotions
shall be given and made in the basis
of merit and efficiency"
In this connection it is worth noting
that in IL years of operation, the IVA
has been absolutely free of all poll
tics. Even its enemies admit that.
Such record is indeed unusual in
any kind of a government body.
Subsection (e) of section 81 of the
Mitchell bill provides that the eva
may make payments to the state UNI
employment compensation funds in
any state where the corporation op-
crates. This means that all en-
ployees may be protected by the I'm
employment Compensation law of any
state in which they are working.
Subsection (f) of section 81 pro-
vides that contractors shall be re-
quired to pay "the prevailing rate of
Co
in the vicinity" If there is dis
pute as to the prevailing rate of
wages" the Secretary of Labor shall
determine the rate and his decision
| is final. This is the same provision
as is found in the law creating the
IVA. It's operation there has been
highly satisfactory.
The fact that labor unions, farm
organizations, newspaper editors, and
the public generally, as well as the
governors of the seven states in which
the IVA operates, are all loud in
their praise of the II years of opera
ton of IVA, is indeed a strong argu-
ment for the creation of a eva here
in the northwest Twelve years of ex-
lions and theoretical objections on
the part of Chambers of Commerce,
big contractors and approximation
lists organized for the purpose of fight
ing the creation of valley authorities
in other regions
OF course the Mitchell bill needs
amendment So does the Koran bill.
The great object to be gained is the
creation of federal organization with
officials given power to act, who live
in the community the resources of
which are to be developed.
We want to decentralize the bu-
reaus and the boards and departments
in Washington, DC. At present we
have three cabinet officials at the
head of three departments that con-
troll the development of our resources.
They are the secretaries of Interior,
Agricultural and War. A valley au-
thority would give three men power
who live right here in the community
where the resources are to be de-
veloped, and who would understand
the needs of the region as no cabinet
officers living back in Washington,
DC, ever can.
1 respectfully urge that the mem
bers of the different labor organiza-
tions secure first-hand information
about this proposed legislation. Joint
discussion by proponents is the best
method of arriving at the facts con-
corning it.

Corset is a Lazy Way
to Improve Figure
NEA Staff Writer

HEAVY corsets, which
squeeze you in here and push
you out there, are lazy way
out of the figure-work you
should do for yourself. That
work is: exercise, diet, good-pos-
ture practise, or seeing a physi-
clan if there is a glandular dis
order.
So says motion-picture stylist
Orry- Kelly, who has dressed top
Hollywood stars for years. De-
crying lazy dependency upon a
corset, he says it is not intend
ed to correct figure faults-only
to provide good anchorage for
the perfect fit of clothes.
Correct posture, according to
Orry-Kelly, is the great un-
known to nine out of ten women.
What is the good of smart,
ia -hionable attire" he asks, "if a
woman slumps like hippo at
the riverside? To put good
clothes over rounded shoulders
and a sagging frame is like put
ting perfect makeup over an
unwashed face
YOU WILL need less sugar to
sweeten iced tea or coffee il you

coffee is hot. That way none Of
the sugar will be wasted at the

Slim Figure, Broaden Mind
While Awaiting His Return
NEA Service Staff Writer

CHECK your waistline before
your CT husband comes home.
If it's grown single inch, he's
going to notice.
He has no doubt described you
to hundreds of buddies as girl
with a slim waistline, who has a
twinkle in her eyes, cute way
of dressing, and hair that's as
smooth as silk and shiny as as
pen leaves rustling in the wind.

WHO'S talking? Pretty and
talented Mango Kurtz, an Oma-
ha, Neb., girl. Her husband is
combat flyer Col. Frank Kurtz.
who, as the pilot of THE
Swoose," famed Flying Fortress,
has been more absent than pres
ent during their marriage.
Learning to take it in stride,
Margo's recently published
book, THE Sky's My Rival is
implicit with advice to service
wives.
Any girl who allowed herself
to slump into the doldrums just
because her incentive for keep
ing up was absent, should heed
Margos warning:
Remember" she says, that
your Joe hasn't slumped. He'll
come back a world figure, a
vastly travelled man rich with
experiences"
To make him think you're
still the loveliest thing he's seen
in all of his travels a smart girl
will work at her exercises, good
grooming, keeping fit.
The routines which all OF
these things require are in them
selves blessings. They help,
Mango wisely points out, to reg
ulate your life and fill your
hours.

LONELINESS is not a buga-
boo, if you'll treat it as a friend.
To fight 1t Is to turn it into a

Anchor Your Straps
With Lingerie Loops
NFA Staff Writer

NEA Staff Writer
IT'S legitimate for ONE set Of
lingerie straps to show through
a transparent blouse or lacy
dress top, but II there are more
that fall apart and make a peep
show, they should be lined up
with lingerie loops sewed into
the shoulders of every pek-a-boo
top garment that you wear.
The preferred choice OF fin
icky gals-we're not saying this
Is necessary but we knox the eff
feet is nice-is to use shell-pink
straps. which look more like
flesh than lingerie, beneath this
sheer tops.
One girl know who thinks
that straps should never be obvi-
Gus underneath sheers replaces
the solid ribbons on slips and
bras with flesh-colored net, MIN
on and other filmy fabrics.
Halter-styled sun-fun clothes
which bare a back need to DC
worn with low-cut evening bras
or-better still-with an uplift
especially built in so that straps
don't show.
