China Reds Seek Speedy
Decision on Monchurio

YENAN, Feb. B.-ChineSe
Communist headquarters today in
structed Chou En-lai, its represent
ative In Chungking, to begin imme-
diate negotiations with the Kuomin-
tang on the unsettled Manchurian
problem.
Headquarters urged that the
problem be disposed of by March
and described any delay as a threat
to continued peace in China.
The Communists demand con-
tinuation OF already established To-
cal autonomous government In Man
churia. That was one of two ma ajor
Communist issues unsettled by the
Political Consultation Council In
Chungking.
The second was the number and
character OF ministries to be shared
by the Kuomintang with other par
ties in the impending coalition gov
ernment. The Communists insist
on acquiring ministries with port
folio. The Kuomintang is reported
unwilling to assign definite minis
tries to the Communists, but has
promised creation of a number OF
posts without portfolio.

HARVEST OF BEANS IS
FAR AHEAD OF AVERAGE

The past week was excellent fol
harvesting except for light to heavy
scattered showers. Soil moisture
supplies continue to be deficient OF
just adequate. In eastern counties
corn on dry land needs moisture
for good development. Irrigated
pastures are good but grass and
pastures in non-irrigated lands are
quite we'll matured or dried up due
to insufficient moisture.
Combining of small grains is in
last stages with a few scattered
areas still tagging. Binder harvest
is practically completed in eastern
and central Montana with the west
ern portion about rs per cent COM
pleted. Threshing has begun in the
central west and northeast. In
Yellowstone valley, threshing is
about three-fourths done. In DAN
iels county much grain is piled on
the ground due to green weeds and
lack of storage space at elevators.
Harvesting of flax is we'll along
in Fallon county and is beginning
in other flax-growing areas.
The bean harvest is two or three
weeks earlier than average for past
ten years in the Yellowstone val
ley. Field corn is in the soft
dough stage and made good growth
the week. All field peas
are threshed and yields were fair
to good. Truck gardeners are har-
their vegetable crops for
market. Sugar beets made very
good growth during the week and
hey require irrigating almost daily
n the Yellowstone area due to hot
weather and large leaf growth. Be-
,ause of late season many farmers
Meagher county will not put up
second cutting of alfalfa.
Grasshoppers continue to damage
alfalfa seed in the southeastern
counties and the blister beetle is
Icing heavy damage in Yellowstone
Saw fly and Hessian fly
continue damage to wheat in the
forth central area.

SAYS CONTROL OF WEEDS
SHOULD START SOON

By taking extensive weed control
measures this fall, Montana farm
ers can combat the menace of
perennial weeds which are causing
them great losses every year, ac-
cording to Donald Luebbe, extern
sion weed specialist at Montana
State college. Speed in APPLICATION
of these measures at the proper
time will save the farmers much
money.
Where cultivation is not prac-
teal to do the job, Luebbe recon-
mended the application of chem
icals to weed patches in fields and
along bitches and roadsides from
Sept. 1 to as long as the ground
stays bare in the fall.
Sodium chlorate and atlacide, a
commercial chlorate, are effective
against wild morning glory (bind-
weed), perennial SOW thistle, Cana
da thistle, whitetop weed, leafy
spurge and Russian knapweed. Be-
fore farmers apply chemicals, they
should contact their county agents
about the rate and method of ap-
plication to their particular weed
problems.

School Is Opening
Next tuesday With
Many New Teachers
Half Of Faculty New To This System-SOme
Grade Positions Not FiIled-SchOOl Bus To
Operate In Territory South Of Laurel

of nine months, Supt. Fred w.
Graft has announced. He said all
teaching positions in the junior
and senior high school departments
have been filled, but several pri-
mary openings still exist. There
is also the possibility that unusual
grade enrolment will necessitate
the employment of additional teach
ers.
When the roster has been COM
pleted, about half of the faculty
will be new to this school system.
In the senior high school there
will be John Macdonald, principal;
Mildred Poznanvie, English; Ilene
Avery, English; Winnifred Nc
Dermott, home economies; Glen
Anderson, physical education; Ar
thur Smith, trades and industries,
and James Morrison, manual arts.
The junior high school will have
two requirements, namely Mabel o.
Haynes, who returns after three
years in the marine corps, and
Richard McMullen.
In the elementary grades, Marian
Stiles, Helen Zoombs and Myrtle
Tundstrom have joined the faculty,
while Genevieve Thompson will
supervise vocal music.
Superintendent Graft said the
usual rule relative to the required
age of beginning pupils will be OBJ
served. They must be six years
old before Jan. /.
This year a bus will be operated
south of the city. In addition to
transporting high school students,
the elementary pupils of the Spring
creek and Webster schools will be
brought into Laurel.
The contemplated route is along
the south side of the Yellowstone
to the Leo Kamp ranch, thence over
the Spring creek hill to the Sam
Clare bridge, thence south past the
Webster school and return to the
Red Lodge highway by way of the
Sam Clare bridge. The last sched-
lled stop on the way to Laurel will
be at the Frank Platz corner.
Until several trips have been
made, an exact schedule of stops
:annot be set up. However, the
'oute, which will be approximately
30 miles, will perhaps take an hour
md a half. From this data, pa
.rons can roughly determine the
arrival of the bus, but they should
lot figure too closely the first
lay.

RURAL ROUTES TO
SHARE IN MAKING
CITY DELIVERIES
East, West Ends Served By
Rural Carriers, Remainder.
By City Carriers On Oct. 1

In addition to the rural delivery
service of the Laurel postoffice
which will include the west part
of Laurel and Trace lane, has beer
authorized by postal authorities
Acting Postmaster Wayne Willis
has announced. 1t will become OPP
erative Oct. 1, simultaneously with
Inauguration of city delivery serv-
ice. A proviso, however, is that
at least so per cent of the patrons
on both rural and city routes have
installed boxes and house numbers
prior to October. Without these in
stallations the service cannot be set
up.
Most of the city, including South
Laurel, will be served by two city
carriers, while extreme east and
west portions will be on rural
routes. Deliveries will be made
daily.
The rural carrier serving the
west part of town will begin his
deliveries on Fifth avenue, thence
north to the city limits, south on
Sixth avenue to the highway, north
again on Seventh avenue and to the
H. P. Schultz farm, and on Eighth
avenue to Trace lane. After going
west on the lane and returning will
continue south on Eighth to the
highway.
At the present time the east end
of town from Alder to the city
limits is served by a rural route.
After Oct. 1 the area, between Alder
and Fir will be part of the city
service, and all east of Fir will
continue on the rural route.
Willis said regulations require
that all rural boxes bear the name
of the patron. Either No. 1 or No.
2 size may be installed, and are
stocked by Laurel dealers.
The use of delivery service is
optional. Those wishing to rent
lock-boxes at the postoffice may do
so when boxes are available. Cen
eral delivery at the postoffice will
also be continued.

In School Days
Still sits the schoolhouse by the

Still sits the schoolhouse by the
road,
A ragged beggar summing;
Around it still the sumacs grow,
And blackberry vines r running.
Within, the masters desk is seen,
Deep SCARED by raps official;
The warping floor, the battered
seats,
The jackknife's carved initial,
The charcoal frescoes on its wall;
Its worn door sill, betraying
The feet that, creeping slow to
school,
Went storming out to playing.
Long years ago a Winter sun
Shone over it at setting,
Lit up its western window panes
And low caves icy fretting.
1t touched the tangled golden curls,
And brown eyes full of ~grieving,
Of one who still her steps delayed
When all the school were leaving.
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled,
His cap pulled low upon a face
Where pride and shame were
mingled.
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left, he fingered
AS restlessly her tiny hands
The blue-checked apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes; he felt
The soft hands light caressing,
And heard the tremble of her voice,
AS if a fault confessing-
I'm sorry that l spelt the word;
I hate to 60 above you,
Because"-the brown eyes lower
fell
Because, you see, I love you'll"
Still memory to a gray-haired man
That sweet child-face is showing,
Dear girl: The grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growing.
He lives to learn in life's hard
school
How few who pass above him
Lament their triumph and his loss,
Like her-because they love him.

CHORAL GROUP GIVES
INTERESTING PROGRAM

The Laurel choral group, headed
by Mrs. P. A. Johnston as his.
t%orian, presented a program OF
Montana songs Tuesday at the
meeting of the Rotary club. The
group has appeared at county and
state meetings of societies and re-
Gently was on the program of a
women's organization at Great
Falls.
Mrs. Johnston was introduced by
Mr.. Johnston, a program commit
teeman, and she introduced her
companions, Mrs. j. H. Albertus.
Mrs. j. H. Moran, Mrs. D. j. Hop
pei, Mrs. F. M. Braswell, Mrs. R.
C. Brown and Miss Peggy Pokar-
ney.
Interesting histories of the songs
and their composers were told by
Mrs. Johnston, who exhibited let
tiers she had received from the song
writer's. The unique collection of
manuscripts, letters and clippings
cannot be duplicated, for some of
the composers are now deceased.
Mrs. Johnston and the state his
torical library at Helena have often
cooperated in gathering material.
The group sang Beautiful Mon
tana" by Boucher, which for sew
eral years was a strong contender
for the title of state song. Mrs.
Johnston read a letter she had re-
from the composer while he
was in his last illness. Because
the song was regarded by critics
as difficult to sing it was not adopt
ed by the legislature. Many peo-
Pile are troubled also by the
