FARM WORKERS SIDE

in the March IS issue of Montana

I agree with her 100 percent on her
statements concerning town and city
schools. However, I do want to an
swer her comment on not being able
to find hired help who are willing
to work as the farmers do.
My husband was for several years
a hired hand on different ranches in
this community. At present he is
employed in the railroad shops, not
because of the 40-hour week, though
it is nice, but simply because one
couldn't possibly raise a family on
the wages which farmers would pay.
The last rancher for whom he
worked had stroke and was in the
hospital for about six months. Dur
ing that time my husband fed and
cared for and calved out about 1OC

Only Two Teams Rated
Out Of Contention for
Public High Finals

One month from tonight the IN
terhigh basketball championship
will be held and with Tech ia
vorite to be one of the tinalists,
a wild battle for the other spot
can be anticipated.
Yesterday Roosevelt took the
interhigh lead with a 1925 VIC
tory over Bell to make the Riders
league record $40 to Techs 20
and Western got past Anacostia,
1888. to confuse the picture fur
ther.
Although Roosevelt's record
makes it appear the Riders are
q solid choice for a playoh spot,
it is deceiving. They have beaten.
winless Eastern, Bell and Cham
berlain and still have a host Of
strong teams to face.
Seven Teams in Running.
In fact. six teams, in addition
to Tech. seem to have a good
chance for the playoffs. Coolidge
(2-D and Western t2-2) have
both lost to Tech already and
have that game behind them.
Wilson (2-1} and Roosevelt must
be counted in the running when
the season draws to- close while
Anacostia f2-21 and Eastern (0-2)
have their work cut out but could
sneak into the playoffs. Only Bell
and Chamberlain seem out Of the
picture.
It appears that q team with
only three losses att the end Of the
season at least will tie for a play
off spot and even four defeats may
not eliminate a contender. Wilson
and Western clash Friday night.
Anacostia meets Roosevelt Satur-
day night and Eastern plays Coo
lidge Tuesday afternoon in key
interhigh battles that may clear
the situation somewhat.
Eastern Must Hustle.
Eastern's slow starting team will
