Review OF Business Conditions
Shows Peak During September

: dents withdrew from the labor
force, the number of migratory
workers available appeared to be
fewer than in past years. Employ
ment officials also began to see
indications of a movement to arma-
ment centers where steady winter
work is offered on the part Of some
groups of workers. The late har-
vest this year maintained a heavier
than normal demand for agricul-
tural workers during September,
thus keeping some workers out of
the nonagricultural labor market.
Electric Power Consumption
Electric power consumption by
commercial and industrial users in
Montana increased during Septenl-
Der to a figure exceeded only by
February of this year. The average
rate of consumption per hour was
8.3 per cent above September 1919
and II per cent higher than Au-
gust 1850.
Carloadings
A substantial increase in car
loads of freight loaded at Montana
points took place in September,
with an increase of 1875 per cent
over August and 14.5 per cent over
September 1949. The September
1850 figure was the highest since
October 1948, as a result of in
creases in shipments of agricul-
tural commodities (wheat, cattle
and Sheep over August 1850 ana
of copper and ore and logs and
lumber products over September
1949.
General Store Sales
Department and general stores
experienced a new upswing in sales
September. After a a per
cent decline in August from the
high level of July, sales increased
14.9 per cent during September,
reaching a new high for the year,
and standing Z per cent above
September 1949.
Bank Debts
Bank debts in 16 Montana COM
munities gave further evidence of
the high level of business activity
1y setting a new record for the
state. The steady increase which
in June continued as Sep
debts we're 11.8 per cent
than August, 1916 per cent
above September 1919, and 81 per

,usly the highest point on record.

gust, copper production declined

During the month of September
Montana experienced one of the
highest periods of FGsiress activity
in its history reports Bureau OF
Business and Economic Research
of Montana State university. EN-
ployment declined only slightly
from its high level of August. Elec-
trio power consumption continued
it's steady overall increase and
carlOadings reached the highest
point in two years as a n~ear-record
wheat crop was shipped during the
month. The announcement of the
redistribution of Regulation w gave
an impetus to general and depart
ment store sales, particularly sales
of home appliances, and brought
about a new high for the year.
Bank debts, which tend to follow
general store sales closely, also
increased, setting a new record for
the state with the added impact of
the elimination of the grain har-
vest, high employment, and a ten
dency toward higher wages. Min
eral production, on the other hand,
declined during September, with
the exception of increases in zinc
and gold.
Cash receipts from far market
ings during August continued to
close the gap between total re-
ceipts in 1850 and 1949, as both
livestock and crop receipts in
creased, leaving total receipts for
the year about 10.6 per cent below
1949.
Employment
Although the upward trend in
nonagricultural employment in
Montana, in process since last
March, was halted in September,
estimates indicate that the decline
from the August figure amounted
tc only Oh per cent above Septem-
Der 1949, and well above the same
month in all prior years.
Outstanding in the labor picture
this September as compared to last
are the higher levels of employ
ment in construction, 36.7 per cent
above last year; in metal mining,
25.9 per cent higher; and in lum-
Der and timber products manufac-
turing, Ill per cent above last
September. A trend toward higher
earnings is also evident, p%articu-
larly in metal mining as a result
of the extention of the work week
to six days.
Changes from August to Sep
TENDER in numbers employed in
the various industry groups were
with slight increases in
manufacturing, mining, finance,
and government and small declines
in construction, including highway,
dam and building projects, and re-
tail and wholesale trade. The
small decrease that took place in
total nonagricultural employment
August to September was APP
parently due to a lack of workers
than a shortage of jobs. The
usual seasonal pattern appears to
be an increase in employment IN
September over August. During
September of this year, however,

This and That
BY Charles E. TroceweH

Not in any sense an aping of childlike
things and thoughts, but the honest
understanding of the true poet that one
does, indeed, see things differently in
childhood.
The innocence of childhood, yes-and
more. The full understanding of faith.
the pushing aside of what interferes with
faith and it's understanding. the COM
plete JOY in things as they are.
The real poet is not only able to fuse
one age with another. but also the real
with the unreal, and the joy of life with
the sorrow of life. That is why genu-
Inc poet is something of magic-maker.
Ordinary people are not able to do
that; they must take things as they find
them, and speak about them in narrow
grooves, but the real poet genuinely
splits the sky in two, and sees on one
side God. and on the other, clouds, in
varying shapes and colors.
Most of us take life as we find it, and
often we do not find it as good as we
like. The poet takes life and lets "the
face OF God shine through"

ciple be employed on more ambitious

No country can afford to lose its poets.
The greatest nation suffers irreparable
loss when a real poet dies.
Edna ST. Vincent Millay left our land
poorer by her passing. greater by her
having lived.
She was true link, in poetry's great
chain. between the old and the new.
The reader who still likes Tennyson
and Longfellow can read her, since she
was not afraid to look back to them.
He who fancies our strictly modern
poets can still read Millay. because she
was not afraid of them, either.
She looked back with love, not with a
sneer; forward with the delight of honest
experimentation.
"Tlle 1Dorld stands out on either side
No 1oider than the. heart is wide;
Above the 1Dorld is stretched the sky
No higher than the soul is high.
The heart can push the sea and land
Farther Gtuay on either hand:
The soul car, split the sky IN tUo
And let the tuce OF God shine through"
There was always something childlike
about Edna Millay.
