Montana Farm
Bureaus View OF
Farm Bill Veto

Observation-Disclosures and farm
ers may be saved further diff
culties and will be better off as
a result of President Eisenhower's
veto of the farm bin, George
Diehl, Montana Farm Bureau
president, said today.
Administrative actions and sug-
g~estions to the Congress in the
Presidents message may help
farmers to a better income in
1856, Diehl said.
President Eisenhower showed
courage and devotion to principle
in vetoing the bill which contain
ed discredited rigid supports
which have piled up SURPRISES
and allowed farm income to sag.
The farm bill appeared to be
a political approach to the serious
economic problem and would be
harmful to agriculture rather
than helpful.
Farmers of Montana are be-
coming more aware of the eff
feet of SURPRISES piled UP under
rigid supports, reducing their
production and depressing prices
for high-quality Montana wheat.
1t is unfortunate that election
year politics would not allow
Congress to come up with a
workable farm bill in time to aid
farmers this crop year.

Montana Farmers
Head On
Bill Veto

Great Falls - President Eisen-
hoWer'S veto of the farm bill
twas a serious and in some cases
a disastrous blow to the econoan-
ic welfare of thousands of strug-
Cling farm families in Montana"
ID. w. Chapman, president of the
Montana Farmers Union, said
Monday.
Chapman, who had just return
ed from a meeting of the National
Farmers Union executive board in
Denver, said the board viewed
the veto as "a staggering blow
to the nations farm economy"
and agreed it will cost American
farmers at least So billion this
year.
He pointed out that Montana's
farm income dropped $87, 900, 900
from 1851 to 1854, according to
the 1854 Census of Agriculture.
In the same period, the census
showed, 3,100 farm families -
IL per cent - were forced off
the land.
ga loss of this magnitude

to family farmers, but to many
small businessmen" Chapman
said. "When nearly $88, 000, 900
drops out of circulation in Mon
tana. it's a deadly serious mat
ter for everyone. Consider the
fact that all the copper produced
in Montana in 1854 was worth
only $35, $780, 900, and all the oil
only $31, 900, 900. A lot of people
besides farmers are going to be
tightening their belts if this ag-
depression continues to
spread and intensity"
Chapman said that the farm
bill vetoed by the President
wouldn't have restored all of
this loss, nor did it contain all
the features necessary in a good
farm bill, and it certainly would
ut have helped the 3,100 farm
families who are already bank
rupt. But it would have meant
many millions of dollars to our
Montana economy, and it would
have prevented many of the farm
and business failures which are
now inevitable"

Gamble Stores
Have Many
Buying Offices

Gamble stores have four per-
manently staffed buying offices
located in New York, Chicago
Los Angeles and Minneapolis.
In January of 1946 the Gamble
home office personnel moved into
the eight-story office building in
the Minneapolis loop district, pur-
chased in 1945.
The new location afforded
needed additional space for the
firms fast growing force. The To-
cation was believed more Access
Sible for employees and out-od-
town visitors.
Also in 1916 the Gamble stores
acquired a five-story fireproof
warehouse with 245,000 square
feet of floor space. The firm has
Jince expanded its warehouse ca
pacity to accommodate the COM
pany expansion being made con-
tinually.
The new Gamble store in
Sidney is in line with the COM
pany's program of steady expan-
sion. Other improvements and in
novations will be incorporated in
the Sidney store in the course of
time, as required.
Founding of the Gamble COM
pany was in a partnership be-
tween Bert Gamble and Phil
Skogmo, both of North Dakota.
They studied the same business
course together in Minneapolis.
For the first time they went into
business together in Fergus Falls,
Mimi, operating two automobile
agencies.
In 1925 they expanded to st.
Cloud. MINI. More and more
stores were added every year. To-
day there are more than 1000
retail Gamble outlets in this coun-
try and Canada.
The western office was acquir-
ed in 1889 when Bert Gamble
and Phil Skogmo purchased a
controlling interest in the West
ern Auto Supply Co. with head
quarters in Los Angeles. At the
time Western Auto operated EOS
company-owned stores and serv-
ed 230 authorized dealer stores.
The home office of Gamble and
Skogmo was set UP in Minneapo-
lis where more than 700 men
and women were employed.
The two partners in February,
1915 purchased a chain of n
farm supply stores operating in
four of the western provinces of
Canada. The chain of supply
stores operated under the name
of "MacLeod's Ltd.," with head
quarters in Winnipeg.
In October, 1914, Gamble-Skog-
mo, Inc, went into the export
business. resulting from the COM
pany being equipped to handle
new outlets for business. The per-
iod was a time of merchandise
shortages, during the war, and
the firm was obliged to enter the
export field.
The territory served included

But of one thing we are GER
tain. The boarder occupied a
unique and important position
in the immigrant culture. He
had come from a ghetto of
Eastern Europe with all it's
closely-knit family ties, and he
tried desperately to continue
living on the only terms he un-
derstood that of a member
of a Jewish household. After a
little he ceased being a strang-
er. He even had the authority
to whip the children for some
infraction, without the slight
est infringement of the pro-
prieties.
Wherever the family went,
they took the boarder.
Confidant
He knew all the inS and outs
of the family, their problems,
their relatives, and he shared
all their joys and sorrows. Of
ten when the husband and
wife had an argument, the
boarder stepped in to settle it,
and each member of the house

rem felt free to pour their

Of course many families
with a marriageable daughter
picked their boarder with the
idea of making him a son-in-
law, and before they gave the
guy a room they wanted to
know "who" he was, what
town in Europe he had come
from, what he did for living,
and how much learning" his
father had.
The boarder rarely thought
of the marriageable girl in the
household in terms of sex.

Men BOarders
Most of the immigrants
were young adult males. They
were about evenly divided be-
tween unmarried boys and
married men, many with fam
lilies, who came here to earn
enough to send for their wives
and children. There were also
a small percentage of young
women, who came to live with
close relatives already estab-
lished here. If the parents
could make it eventually, o. k.

had been given this chance for

"single" men and girls became
''boarders." Every household
had "boarders."

The institution of the
"boarder" was so widespread
that an entire culture was
built around it. Most of the

centuries were now recapitu-
