right half, the Laurel boys will pre-
sent a back field combination of
speed and experience, especially af-
ter adding the passing of Bill Sorg

has been working into the half
back position to take advantage of

Predict Terrible
Food Shortage This
Winter In Europe

Letters from Europe continue tc
tell of famine-like shortages of food
and no immediate prospect for i'm
provement of the condition. APP
parently taking her cue from the
makers of war, nature has added
to the destruction. Illustrating the
plight of most of Europe is the fol-
Lowing paragraph from a letter re-
ceived this week by Mrs. Helen
Jacobs from Mrs. Anna Knudsen of
Herringlose, Denmark:
"There will be a terrible food
shortage in Europe. Here in Den
mark the harvest is the smallest
anyone can remember. We had a
terribly hot and dry summer. The
farmers are selling their livestock
as there is no feed. 1t looks very
bad, but perhaps it is just as bad
in the U. S. You said in your let
ter that the weather was very
warm"

MORE RAINS ARE
EXPECTED FRIDAY
Bean Harvest and Haying Are
Delayed By Weather-Beet
Harvest Starting Soon

Farmers in this locality who have
hay down and beans piled in field
may expect a repetition of the rains
Tuesday and Wednesday on Friday
or Friday night. This is indicated
by the weather forecast released
Tuesday moo by the Montana
weather and crop report at Helena.
Temperatures east Of the continental
divide are forecast as averaging a
little below normal with generally
cool weather continuing the re-
mainder of the week. A slightly
rising trend is expected Thursday
and Friday. Total precipitation is
forecast as ranging from one-tenth
inch in the eastern section to one
fourth inch in the western noun
tains, occurring Friday or Friday
night.
Most of the states winter wheat
has been combined and the spring
wheat harvest is about rs per cent
completed. The bean harvest is in
full swing, with Yellowstone county
having yields averaging ID to IS
sacks per acre. The amount of
winter wheat seeded in the state
varies from 5 to so per cent. Farm
ers in a few of the southeastern
counties may delay wheat seeding
because of grasshopper ~infestation.
There is a deficiency of reserve
moisture in the central section; some
fields of winter wheat may not
we'll until more moisture
is received.
Sugar beets, corn and potatoes
made favorable growth during the
week. Early potatoes in Powell
r yielding about 200 sacks
per acre. Sugar beet harvest will
start in some sections next week.
From 60 to 100 per cent of the
marketable cattle will be shipped
without pen feeding. Volume ship
nents have started in some sections
while other sections expect to begin
shipping the latter part of Septem-
Der. The livestock is in very good
condition.
Grasshoppers were active in some
eastern sections. Black crickets have
appeared in Yellowstone county and
ire doing some damage to alfalfa
iced and hay crops.

DISCUSS RELATIONS
0FLABDn AND CAPITAL

Alyois V. Himsl, former coach at
Belfry and Bridger high school and
now an instructor at Eastern Mon
tana Normal school and an employee
of the Billings Gazette, spoke here
Tuesday at the weekly meeting of
the Rotary club on relationships of
labor, capital, management and the
public. He was introduced by Stu
art johnson, a program committee
man..
While he discussed the complicated
subject that has many versions he
defined some detectives and correct
ed some assumptions. As
"you can't take it with you," money
is useful to the extent that it will
buy goods and services. He men
toned the industrial revolution so
often referred to by writer's and
speakers on economics, history and
sociology. Various groups have oc-
cupied the point of control: agricul-
ture, business and labor. Govern
ment, which represents everyone, has
enacted legislation for control of
the three. Responsibility of the
groups at last becomes normal.
Capital provides tools, and a place
to work, whether from private en-
terprise or from taxation. New cap
ital cannot be attracted if the cost
of labor is so high that capital
cannot earn a return, resulting in
retrenchment. Capital cannot ex-
pect to profit at the expense of
labor; it is good business to see
that labor is we'll paid. !
Consideration should be given to
different conditions in the various
localities across the country, to diff
ferent job classifications and differ
ences in living costs. 1t is difficult
to establish a universal standard.
Mentioned in passing were juris-
dictional disputes among unions, pre-
valent in recent years and resulting
in tie-ups in production of goods
and services the public wants. An
instance was the dispute in Holly
wood.
Management has several obliga-
lions: to furnish capital, to properly
the public, and to adequate

JULY Is BECOMES
IMPORTANT TO VETS
Life Of G.. /. Bills Benefits
Is Set By Law Determining
End Of World War III

Approval by President Truman o.
the law terminating World war L
hostilities on July 25, 1947, also
made that day the final one which
may be counted by service men and
women in establishing eligibility fol-
many important G. I. benefits, the
veterans administration has an
nounced.
For purpose of education and
training, loan guarantee and re-
adjustment allowance provided in the
G. l. bill, and for vocational re-
Mobilization of disabled veterans
under public law 16, the veterans
administration announced that the
period of war service would be
Sept. 16, 1910, through July 25,
1947.
Statuatory limitations placed on
G. 1. bill benefits will be figured
from the July 25 date as follows:
1. G. l. bill education or train
ing must be started within four
years of that date, or date of dis
charge, whichever is later, and the
program ends in nine years.
2. All public law 16 training
ceases nine years from July 25.
8. G. 1. loan guarantees remain
for 10 years after July 25.
A. REIMBURSEMENT allowances may
be claimed until two years after
July 25 or date of discharge, which
ever is later, and the program ends
five years from July 25.

ESTIMATE STATE
POPULATION NOW
TOTALS $4,000
May Have GaiQ of $4,000 Over
Last Official Els. Census
Figure E'1940

Montana peoA Were interested
last week in figstes on population
that were issued by Barclay Craig
head, chairman Of the unemploy-
ment compensation commission, who
estimated the states population at
$4,000 as of July 1 this year, or
$4,000 more than the 1910 official
federal census figure Snd. $4,000
sanpre than the commissiontcoqld esti-
-9ate as of July 1 a yeJkago.
-sssThis is a Nsst5hct contra 80 Mon
t$ka's experience followfe8Worl
war 1 when stke state I'd sssSed a
loss in population. Craighead ex-
presses the belief that existence of
unemployment compensation and re-
adjustment allowances following
World war II are important factors
in holding Montana's returned vet
Grams and war workers until industry
in the state can absorb them.
The estimate from the state unem-
ployment compensation commission
differs materially from recent sta
tistics from Washington, indicating
Montana's present population at less
than the last official federal cansus
of 1910.
G. C. Stevenson, executive secre-
tary of the Montana petroleum in
dustries committee, said recently
that "the figuring of population
changes by any method of estimates
is a difficult task, due to recent
trends of population from farms to
cities and in turn from cities to
suburban areas, it is our belief that
Craighead and his staff are I'M
doubtedly in better position to make
accurate estimates than any other
organization in the state, until the
taking of a regular official federal
census"
Many Montana civilians left the
state during the wal years to engage
in work at war industrial plants on
the Pacific coast and elsewhere, for
Montana had no major industries of
that nature. Some authorities were
of the opinion at the time that the
would be more or less per-
manent and that the former Mon
tanans would remain where they
had worked, particularly on the
coast.
Population of the nation increased
about 100000 from 1880 to 1910.
1t is estimated that the 1850 total
will be in excess of 150,000,000.
