He had been overseas approximately two years. He was accompanied at the meeting by his father, R. T. Her riott. Corporal Herriott responded to questions from the club mem bers and told as much as circum stances permitted of his experiences in the Pacific. He brought with him a number of interesting photo graphs. Gatewood, transferred here within the year from Nebraska and Colo rado, compared some areas scantily supplied with irrigation water to the Yellowstone valley where water is used voluminously. Food value of beet tops and pulp for livestock was compared to com and grains, and several interesting angles on the position of beets as source of income and wealth for the commu nity were reviewed. Mechanization of beet production, a recent de velopment, was described. His address was in the nature of a prelude to a forthcoming series announced for March.

South's IÜK Crop Farmers, grocers, civic groups and government agen cies in Montana are joining forces to increase consumption of a win ter cabbage crop half again as large as any ever before produced. The campaign follows war food administration designation of cab bage as a nationwide "Victory Food Selection" during the period Feb. 24 to March 4, seeking full utiliza tion of the bumper crop. Although much of the cabbage now available for market will be dehydrated for the armed forces and allies abroad, served to armed forces here, and some used to re plenish the "kraut" supply, a large balance is still left to be incorporât ed into wartime menus. Cabbage is roling in from the fields of California and Arizona in abundance, and housewives, res taurants and other establishments urged to use it extensively. WFA recommends the preparation of home sauerkraut for future use view of the government's in creased requirements from the 1944 canned vegetable pack for direct war needs. Greater quantities of cabbage and other fresh vegetables must be used for civilian consume tion to offset the reduction in avail able supplies of canned goods. are

LAUREL OUTLOOK Published Every Wednesday at Laurel, Montana, by JOSEPH GEHRETT CAMPBELL CALVERT Subscription $2.00 Per Annum In Advance Entered as Second-class Matter July 14, 1909, at the postoffice at Laurel, Mont., under act of March 3, 1879. WHEN THE GUNS CEASE FIRING The railroads are not going to lose the peace if they can 1 Ip it, insofar as transportation is concerned. They are con nplating future transport problems without a moment's let i i in the hectic struggle to meet the abnormal transportation t mands of war. A railroad committee has been appointed to make a care 1 1 study of every form of transportation including analysis c 42 separate major industries which among them produce the i ilk of the freight moving in the United States. In addition t e committee is studying such phases of railroad operation as igineering, mechanical, operating methods and procedures, l.bor and personnel, traffic, accounting and statistics, finance, 1 nation, and many others. The membership of the committee includes men of broad experience in all sorts of transportation ud all aspects of railroading. As the Association of American Railroads says: "The approach of the committee is one of iicalthy inquiry and experienced skepticism, embracing noth ing as superior merely because it is new, but clinging to noth ing old merely because it is established. In that spirit the committee is undertaking to survey the whole field of transpor tation in America and to look and plan ahead for the future, to the end that there shall be more adequate, dependable and serviceable transportation, more economically and efficiently performed, by the means of carriage best suited to do each of the particular tasks of transportation that are to be done.'' Railroad managements know that some day the guns will be silent. They plan to be ready for that day. UNCLE SAM; PUBLISHER The U. S. Government now pi-ints more newspapers, maz arines and other periodicals than all the private publishers of any single state put together, according to a recent compila tion, says the Austin, Minn., Herald. The survey showed that Federal employees edit: Four dailies, eight weeklies, eight bi-weeklies, one hundred and ten monthlies. Fifteen quarterlies. Unnumbered other periodicals either issued irregularly throughout the year, or regularly during certain seasons of the year. The Government periodicals range in size from that of typical weekly newspaper to larger sized, slick paper magazine, and, so far, no attempt has been made to reduce Uncle Sam's periodicals in size, although private publishers have suffered what amounts to a 15 per cent cut in paper since last year. The reporter who made the compilation says he is sure he did not find all of Uncle Sam's publications. There are 2,241 Government agencies today, he pointed out, and it would take him a full year to check with all of them. cl Mrs! B. L.

This trou ble caused me a great deal of misery. My general condition was this: Especially when I ate. I was bothered a great deal with pains; I had an awful taste in my mouth all the time; I was always tired and nervous; natur ally I tried every possible means of ridding myself of all this misery, but nothing seemed to help.

r.iâvii Auxiliary Activities

i

icy At the business meeting of the American Legion Auxiliary Tues day, March 7, at the C. L. Morris home, Mrs. Morris will show' mo tion picture films. Plans are to be completed for the American Legion birthday dinner w'hich is to be at the L. L. club, Sunday, March 12. The more members there are at the meeting the easier it will be for the committee to make arrange ments for a successful dinner. It is hoped that all members of the Legion and Auxiliary w'ho can possibly do so will come to the party and bring their partners. This happens to be a very special get together for the local post and unit as they are headed this year by husband and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Homer Sheets. This is rare for Montana but it isn't at all unusual to find hus bands and wives heading posts and units in various parts of the coun try. And even when they are not serving simultaneously there have been many occasions when one has preceded the other as the leader of a post or unit in the same center. One example reported is that of Mrs. Henry A. Freeman who heads the Auxiliary unit at Norwich, Conn., while the post is commanded by her husband and both were in stalled in a joint ceremony. Another husband and wife com bination is that of Mrs. H. V. Rau who is president of the Auxiliary unit at Bryan, Tex., while her hus band is commander of the post. Mrs. Rau is serving her second term. Her husband is just starting his first term. Two joint terms is the record of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Vernall of Redwood City, Calif. Mrs. Vernall and her husband were heads of their respective Legion organiza tions in 1929 and 1930, but Mrs. Vernall is one up on her husband, having served as the Auxiliary unit president also in 1928. Arabic Numerals The numerals used by the western world originated in Arabia. Lights of New York b y L. L. STEVENSON Overtime; Bridge playing is such an essential part of the life of the Commuter that on various trains, brakemen supply tables, cards and even lead pencils and score pads. In some instances they reserve seats for regular players so they can get busy the moment they enter the car and not quit until they are forced to get off. This arrangement results in considerable financial ben efit to the railroad men since train bridge is usually for cash stakes and winners are liberal in rewards for service. The devotion of com muters to bridge was well illustrat ed the other morning when a Port Washington local reached Pennsyl vania station. Two sets of the play ers who were forced off, had not completed their games. So one four some finished on a platform baggage truck while the other played their hands on a newspaper. Red Ink: Jack Marshall, the rub ber-faced comedian who recently concluded a return engagement at the Belmont Plaza Glass Hat to as sume the comic lead in a forth coming musical, has upped the cir culation of his weekly compendium of gags and cartoons which he calls "Belly Laffs for the Boys," to a total of 1010. Considering the fact that Marshall started his smile sheet only a short while ago with a total circulation of 75, he is understand ably proud of his rapidly increasing readership. The irony in the saga of quickly growing publication is this: Marshall writes, edits, pub lishes, mimeographs and mails this contribution to our fighting men at his own expense so every time his mailing list goes up. his deficit docs likewise. He isn't kicking, his be lief being that a grin on a soldier's face is worth any cost. Collectors: The other evening at a large and well-known hotel, a diner was bothered by a spoon short age. So she called a waiter captain and took the matter up with him. He informed her that not so long ago the hotel had an ample sup ply of spoons, seemingly enough not only to last for the duration but for some time after victory. But so rapidly has this article of tableware disappeared within the last few weeks that only by washing spoons as soon as they reach the kitchen can service be maintained. It seems that defense workers and oth ers who visit New York for the first time like to take home spoons as souvenirs. And that's a serious mat ter as it is just about impossible to replace them. Conflict: Reports one of this de j partment's scouts: Recently the j Philadelphia orchestra inaugurated a new series of Sunday night "Pops" concerts with Alec Templeton as the first soloist. When the series was announced, Eugene Ormandy, the orchestra's music director and conductor, didn't seem too pleased with the idea. The manager, Harl McDonald, asked him if he were afraid the extra concerts would be ^°9 work for him. Ormandy said it wasn't that, and agreed the orchestra should play lighter music occasionally. "Then why so gloomy about the whole thing?" pumped McDonald. With that Ormandy ex plained that since the concerts be gan at 8:30, he would have to be at the Academy of Music at eight which would mean that he couldn't hear Charlie McCarthy, a pro gram he hadn't missed once in six years! Bits: More than 5,000 young Americans have been named after Kate Smith Bob Hawk speaks at the rate of 264 words a minute, topping one of radio's fastest chat terers, the late Floyd Gibbons, who ticked off 225 Picture Judy Canova's sensations on being pre sented with a pocket knife which a sergeant explained was a trinket with which he had polished off a Jap in New Guinea Unique among the 34 restaurants in Rocke feller center is the news center. where all the waitresses are red headed to complement the apple pink decor.
