The pressing need for a COM
munity building to serve Laurel as
a meeting place for organizations
vas discussed at considerable length

tives from % organizations met at

With the Christmas season draw
ing near, there are many Americans
who wish to send gift packages to
friends and relatives in European
countries, w. G.. Maloney, district
manager at Butte, U. S. depart
ment of commerce field service,
stated Nov. 10. The Americans,
being unfamiliar with the regula-
lions, duties and restrictions impos-
ed by foreign countries, find the
task difficult.
Maloney announced that the
necessary information is available at
his office in the form of brochures
on every country in the world,
which are available on request with
out charge. The information in
cludes items that can or cannot be
sent, duties and restrictions on each

CATTLE AND SHEEP
SALES ARE LARGE
Owners Cashing In On High
Prices-StOck Entering
Winter In Good Flesh

Cattle and sheep owners in Mon.
tana are selling their animals in
large numbers because of favorable
prices, the states federal agricul-
tural statistical service indicated in
its recent report. The condition of
ranges vas rated as the highest
since 1912 for Nov. /, and both
cattle and sheep are going into
winter in good flesh. The marketing
of cattle in the past month was es-
pecially heavy.
The past month was the warmest
October of record, according to the
Montana weather bureau. Intermit-
tent rains fell over the state
throughout most of the month; how
ever, the southeastern corner of
Montana did not receive relatively
a much precipitation as the rest
of the state.
Grazing conditions west of the
divide are excellent. Late rains in
some of the north central r start
ed new grass growth. Water holes
in Dawson county were drying up
at the time the report was made
and there we're areas in McCone
that needed more rain. There
appeared to be plenty of feed on
fall ranges and recent storms should
also improve the situation. Grass
hoppers did much damage to some
ranges in Powder River and
Rosebud counties, and range feed
in that area is only fairly good, and
also dry.
Most livestock men have enough
hay to carry them through the win
ter, although there are local short
ages in the north central portion of
the state. Adjoining counties should
be able to relieve the situation with
put serious damage to anyone.
The condition of cattle and calves
declined one point from the previous
month, but the animals are in bet
,er condition than for the same
period last year. Marketings the
'irst part of October were heavy.
The ranchers took advantage of
prices to Gull their herds.
Liquidation of sheep and lambs
continues due to high operating
and favorable prices. The
is less than during recent
previous years.

K|WAN|S CONSIDERS
ITS YOUTH PROGRAM

Pending projects having to do
with its youth program were out
lined and discussed Wednesday eve
ming by the Kiwanis club. The dis
cu~ssions replaced the usual program
of entertainment.
With President w. A. Ziegler pre-
siding, Program Chairman ]. Will
lard Baldwin introduced DR.. w. A.
Mccormick, president-elect, to lead
the discussion. Mccormick told of
the pending installation of about 35
gum ball machines in business
places, from which a percentage of
ireceipts goes into the Kiwanis fund
for unfortunate children.
He announced that an immediate
and important project will be the
institution of a Key club in Laurel
high school, for which a meeting
was held last Thursday evening
with nine high school boys. The
Key club here will be the second in
Montana. The first was sponsored
by the Billings Kiwanians in their
high school. Key clubs are inter
national and have yearly conventions
somewhat similar to the Kiwanis
conventions. They are composed of
second, third and fourth year high
school students who are regarded
by their fellow students and school
authorities as material worthy of
being developed into leaders. The
Laurel Kiwanis Key club committee
is composed of Harold Collins, DIR.
Mccormick, w. A. Ziegler and H.
Lee Hamlet, who have the assist
ance of Principal John Macdonald.
The committee will meet Thurs
day evening this week with boys
selected from the high school for
further discussions looking towards
organization of a Key club in the
near future. The boys will be
guests of the Kiwanis club next
Wednesday evening.
All club work, in which the XII
wants club is also interested, was
reported by DR.. r. j. Roselot, the
leader of the Busy Beavers club
He said he had talked to W. H.
Jones, Yellowstone county agent,
concerning the purchase of a brood
by the Kiwanians for award to
a qualified All member residing in
the vicinity of Laurel. The plan
calls for retaining two pigs from
each litter, these to be placed with
other All members. DR.. Rosselot
was authorized to proceed with the
plan. He recommended that the
be not launched until next
Harold Cartee, representing the
Kiwanis club at a recent meeting
Of representatives from 81 other
Laurel organizations seeking to
ouild or acquire a community center,
said the meeting he had attended in
he past week was merely a pre-
iminary that sought ideas and
plans. Financing is the main prob
EN-. He asked the Kiwanis mem
,ers to think over the proposal and
submit helpful suggestions.

ROTARY HEARS CRAFT
ON WORLD RELATIONS

Fred w. Graft, superintendent of
Laurel schools and past president
of the Laurel Rotary club, as club
program speaker Wednesday dis
cussed international relations and
expressed the opinion that another
world war could be avoided by the
HeN4Tcise of superior craftsmanship
and a sincere desire on the part of
the great powers to serve the
masses of population. The address
met two must requirements of the
Rotary organization: discussion of
aspects of international affairs at
intervals throughout the year, and
occasional use of a local speaker.
Graft is chairman of the Laurel
clubs international committee and
was presented by John Laird, men,
Der of the November program COM
mittee.
He assured his fellow members
that his expressions and opinions
were his own and were to be re-
garded as such. During his adj
dress he surveyed attempts that
had been made after the first world
war to usher enduring peace, and
the present efforts in that direction
represented by United Nations.
Although he read the dark view of
an authority who pictured the
United States a hundred years
hence as being faced by an Indus
trialized Orient with a greatly in
creased, vigorous population, and a
Europe possibly under Rus
sian and Communistic domination
Graft took the slant that all things,
including government and human
relationship, are subject to change,
and that the picture a century hence
nay be quite different from that
predicted. Some of his audience
Inferred that he credited man with
he desire and ability to progress in
he humanities as well as in the
material sciences.
He referred to the seemingly
,aradoxial position of the United
a strong advocate of peace
Who is heavily armed and proposes
so continue until there is ade-
Iuate of no further ag-
,ressions against security and SOW
.reignty. AS an American he APP
roved the policy. From the view
Joint of an Investigator he delved
nto the economic and historic
auses of friction among the peo-
les of the earth and the unquench-
d desire for liberty of thought and
f action that does not interfere
18th the dignity, peace and liberty
{ others.
Among the causes cited for Rus
la's attitude was the lack of ports
DR. commences; others included in
asions of the past and the giving
{ Czechoslovakia, a border state of
to Germany for absorption
nd dismemberment. The history I
dded up to distrust.
Distrust was again mentioned

hen he read a translation of a
atement by Georges Clemenceau, :
