Newspaper Mon SaYs Clatter Of Combines
Offers Retreat From Troubles Of Publisher

John w. Lyman of Bozeman
is seeking relief from all the
ills that beset a newspaper man
in these days Of newsprint
shortages, hard-to-get help.
mechanical breakdowns and the
attendant scarcity of parts and
many other headaches, in a
manner which most people
would consider more strenuous
than his regular Job.
He is shovelfng wheat for the
Campbell Farming corporation
during harvest. And that is a
job that looks like a back
breaker, compared to the popu-
lar conception of the publisher
sitting in his swivel chair be-
hind a mahogany desk issuing
orders to his underlings.
Mr.. Lyman, who Is In part
nership with his brother in
publishing the Bozeman Cour-
Ter, says you can take it from
him that putting out a news
paper in the war and postwar
years is a good way to head
into a nervous breakdown (as
if we didn't know it, even
though we operate on a small
er scale) and pointed out his
shaking hands and wan visage
as evidence.
He thinks wheat shoveling
will be a good nerve tonic
and hopes to return to B0ze-
man with a sunburn and bulg-
ing biceps. He was most def
mite about not wanting to hear
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1946-08-01

anything about the newspaper
Courier specifically until he
had put in his stint at Camp
Four. If the wheat Shoveling
doesn't accomplish the expected
rehabilitation by itself, he is
sure that being removed from
the smell of printers ink will
work miracles.
The corporation can use him.
More than 200 men are being
employed in harvesting the
bumper crop from the q, 900
seeded acres of the $4,000 acres
leased on the Crowsreservation.
About 40 combines are at
work at Camp Four, and har-
vest also began this week at
Camp Six. All the wheat will
be out of the fields within two
weeks if the weather continues
to be favorable, the Hardin Of
flee predicted Wednesday.
Another unusual recruit for
harvest operations Is Michael
Lewis, 16, of Rutlant, w.t., son
Of Sinclair Lewis and Dorothy
Thompson. He arrived in Har-
din last Saturday and is en-
ployed shoveling wheat by the
corporation here.
He was a student at Valley
Forge military academy last
year.
Young Lewis says he likes
Montana, but finds Hardin a
little quiet.
