Chapter 8
nOUG stared at the man COM
II ing toward Elsa and himself
and wondered how two people
could be SO closely related and
yet so dissimilar. Then he re-
called that Ed Frawley was
Elsa's half brother.
Frawley wasn't tall man but
was solidly built. He walked
slowly and ploddingly as though
he were beginning the ascent of
a mountain instead of following
the level gravel path of garden.
His hair was as tawny as Elsa's
but was without the golden
sheen that made hers seem al
most alive, and his eyes were an
indistinct blue-green that, in
spite of the blazing sunset he
faced, were Swallowed. When he
reached Doug he extended his
hand.
"You must be Andrews" Then
he caught sight of Doug's BAN
daged palms, whats wrong?

Frawley's lips twisted in a wry
smile. well it looks as though
he earned his days pay, eh
1t was an ill-chosen crude re-
mark and the girl blushed. Doug
watched the delicate pink stain
her face and felt a sudden irrita-
ton with Frawley. He leaped
into the awkward silence with
ELSA and I were just talking
about Glen Slocum."
"Oh Glen was quite a
fellow, to hear Elsa talk" Fraw-
ley's tone held no regrets. "And
she talks about him all the time"
"He was a grand guy" Doug
agreed. Didn't you know him?"

Just too different, l guess"
Elsa stirred impatiently. "You
know that wasn't it at all, Ed
Glen could always best you at
everything and you resented it"
"That's absurd, Elsa,-anyway
why not let the guy rest in peace,
he's dead, you know"
Suddenly the back door opened
and old Sven Larson's voice was
hurled at them through the dusk.
He was calling Elsa and she ex-

! the proper skills for immediate re-
employment in the home communi-
ties. An almost total lack of fam
lily housing facilities hampered eff
forts of the commission to transfer
qualified unemployed workers to
communities where an immediate de-
mand for their services existed.
Despite the fact that employment
at the present time is very high and
unemployment is very near its ir-
reducible minimum, the season of
the year is near when many farm
workers and others engaged in
seasonal occupations will come to
an end of their present activities.
The unemployment compensation
commission expresses the hope in a
recent statement that the peak will
not go as high as last winter and
views the possibility that the num-
Der will be less than half.

LAUREL IS PLAYING
HAVRE HERE FRIDAY

Friday afternoon at 2:30 the Lo
comotives will wind up their home
football schedule when they play
host to the Havre Blue Ponies il
an all-important class A tilt. A
the present time both teams arc
tied for third place in the stand
ings, and a loss for Laurel will
eliminate it from any chance at
the title.
Havre who has lost but one game,
to BoZeman, can come through with
a tie for first by winning its re-
naming games since it meets the
first-place Livingston squad the fol-
lowing week, whereas Laurel has to
depend on either Bozeman or Havre
to down Livingston in order to tie
for the championship. In other
words the title is far from decided
as yet with four teams still in the
thick of the fray. But the chips
are down this week end for all con-
cerned and the Locomotives will go
all out to hang onto their chances
to come through with their first
A title.
The Laurel squad will be at full
strength this Friday when they take
to the field and the starting lineup
will almost be the same that has
carried them so far this year. The
Havre squad is expected to run
the T as will Laurel, and en-
phasis during the week has centered
around such defenses to keep the
Havre backfield from skirt
ing the ends. At the same time,
however, offensive changes have
been made in an attempt to permit
Laurel's own backs to break loose
for long runs. So it's all or
come Friday in what should
to be one of the most holly
contested games for a long time
or the local fans to witness.

WEATHER HERE
WORTH EXPLOITATION

Montana's good weather and pleas
ant climate are worthy of extens-
i've publicity a a valuable asset OF
the state, Leland T. Pierce, officer
in charge of the U. S. weather bur-
a at Billings, told the Laurel
Kiwanis club Wednesday evening.
He was speaking on the weather,
about which everybody talks and
about which no one ever does any
thing.
He said forecasters need thick
skins and a sense of humor to with
stand the constant ribbing they re-
ceive.
In Billings there are two observa-
ton points, one at the airport on
the bluffs and the other downtown.
There is usually a variation of three
and a half degrees between the two
spots due to the difference in eleva-
lions. The year so far has been
about normal as to temperature and
rainfall, although October to date
is about sever degrees above normal.
In 1916 the first freeze was Sept.
IS while Oct. II was the date this
year. From here on for a way it
is expected that the trend will be
up.
Regarding extremes, the hottest
day recorded by the Billings station
112 degrees on July 81, 1901,
at the corner of Minnesota avenue
and Twenty-seventh street. The
;oldest was 49 degrees below zero
'n Feb. IL, 1899.

Employment In State
Reaches Record Hiqh
Compensation Commission Releases Figures
Showing 10000 People Are Employed In Agri-
culture and Industry-1,400 Unemployed

AS October got under way Mon
tana was experiencing the closest
approach to full employment that
has ever been recorded in the Treas
ure state with an estimated no. 00
wage earners employed in agricul-
ture and industry, the greatest num-
Der in history, and $4,000 more than
recorded a year ago, says the I'M
employment compensation commits
sion at Helena. During the same
week there were fewer than 1,400
persons unemployed and seeking
benefits, the lowest number of un-
employed ever recorded in Montana
and considerably less than half of
the number of a year ago.
Of the 1893 unemployed, SOP were
veterans of World war II, many of
whom can be employed only at
highly specialized trades because of
disabilities they incurred while de-
Tending Americas economic system
on foreign battlefields.
Of special interest at this time,
when national attention is focused
the desirability of employing the
physically handicapped, is the fact
that Montana employers during the
month of September hired 101 phys
ically handicapped persons, of whom
70 were veterans.

Visitor From England Says He Regrets He Did
Not Discover America For Himself Years Ago

Mr.. and Mrs. C. E. Hayden Of
London, England, who have beer
visiting their son-in-law and daugh-
ter, Mr.. and Mrs. Herman GratwohI
of 20 Fourth avenue, will be leav-
ing for England where Mr.. Hayden
is head of a large department store
in London. The present visit is
his first to the United States. On
the eve of his departure he has ia
vored the Laurel Outlook with a
statement regarding America. 1t
follows:
My Impressions
1t was but an hour or two only
after l had stepped ashore from the
"Queen Mary" onto American soil
for the first time that l began
to most forcibly realize my imagin-
atoms of America and its peoples
were a complete travesty of facts.
1 arrived at my hotel in New
York where 1 received the utmost
courtesy, my immediate require
ments were most efficiently and ex-
pediously executed and having TAX
en- the lift to my apartment and
said "Thank you" to the attendant,
I was greeted with you're well
come" which reply not only took me
rather by surprize but instantly
made me feel l was amongst friend
ly people. After having made a
short tour of Broadway and visited
a few stores, restaurants, ETC., I
readily appreciated that the court
esq l had received at my hotel was
no mere exception, for wherever l
went the same high degree of civil
ity and politness prevailed. Such
an atmosphere I found particularly
congenial in contrast to my expert
erces at home where nowadays folk
seem so downcast, forlorn and de-
spondent after the WEAKNESS of the
war and the heavy burdens of the
aftermath.
l had been led to believe that
Americans not only abbreviated their
words but also their friendliness and
courtesy towards strangers, were
generally difficult to get acquainted
with-never have l been so utterly
COMPOUNDED.
Although 1 stayed but two days
in New York, l made several friends,
who, when 1 disclosed the fact that
l had just arrived from England
were particularly interested, sympa-
thetic and helpful. Such expert
ences were most pleasant and II
