UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM.
An official statement from that body
announces that the Spokane Chamber
of Commerce has started a movement
toward the solution of the unemploy
ment problem by sending men who
want work to Inland Empire farms.
Warren Latham, manager of the'
Christian Home for Men, in Spokane,
states that many of the men at his in
stitution are willing to do farm work
during the winter for their board and
keep.
In a statement outlining the plan,
Thomas S. Griffith, president of the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce, says:
"The Spokane C'hamber of Com
merce is making earnest efforts to re
lieve the situation, and we believe that
the best and most practical way of
caring for unfortunates is to give them
something to do. These men, if placed
on the farms of the Inland Empire,
where many of them are willing to
work for their board during the win
ter, can be made of positive good to
all of us.
"We hope that farmers who can use
these men will notify the Christian
Honme for Men in Spokane."
The nation long since learned that
to matter how many men are idle,
farm labor remains scarce. But short
of' conscription, no solution has thus
far presented itself. For some reason,
the average man out of work does not
get to the farm. Either he can't get
there or he won't go.
TAFT WANTED IT.
Brother Taft says our chief need is
law enforcement anent treaties; that
we may not be imbroiled by too imn
petuous Americans.
Yet Brother Taft, while president,
wanted the army made larger, much
larger; and kept so.
He refers, doubtless, to a disposition
in California and some other states to
get us into a muss with Japan; and
in so far as he goes, the genial pro
fessor is right.
It is a sad state of affairs when
treaties, which are presumably the
laws of the land, can be set at defi
ance by minority factions in a few
states.
HOW MUCH CAN YOU GIVE?
Have beggars ever been so thick on
the streets here? One is halted two
and three times in a block.
How much do you give? And how
much can you afford? One is startled,
now and then, at reviewing what has
gone out in two and four-bit pieces
in charity of this sort.
HOW ABOUT THIS?
The war and the foot and mouth
scourge notwithstanding, meat in re
tail stores is cheaper to the consumer
in .issoula today than a year ago
today.
How do you account for that?
.Nor has the war thus far apprecia
bly raised the prices of any sorts of
.foo we are informed.
Perhas it is -too soon.

CANNERIBS FORiiq 8 Tt
The other morthin, The M i wint4 .the sth o of
the meeting of the y-prodi ts cdm -tt 4f ti North
west Fruit Growers Assoclathin at i osth Tak .
The results of the investigations made by ytese. men are
of the greatest interest and value to every person living in
the Bitter Root valley and other fruit-growing setions of
western Montana. ,i
The canning industry must go hand-in-hand with R.tiit
The by-product of the fruit;grower represents the fiea
profits of the tusitiesss.
Heretofore, we have paid little attention to ithis phase f
the iidust'ry. Herein lies our fatal error.
The development of the cannery can only come about
through: the co-6operation of individuals.
A cannery cannot live by the efforts of one, two or three
men, any more than a creamery can be operated success
fully by the same number of dairymen. - "
The Stevensville co-operative creamery preaches a ser
mon every day to the dairy farners of the Bitter Root
valley..
Through the efforts of the 'B. R. V. I. Co., a cannery
expert will soon visit the Bitter Root to survey the' ertife
field, looking to the establishment of a canning plant.
In this endeavor, they should receive the ungrudging
support of every single orchard owner and 'every 'butsiess
interest from Missoula to Darby.
There are no canneries in Montana.
Last year, there was shipped into this state:
75,000 cases of canned corn.
60,000 cases of canned peas.
20,000 cases of canned baked beans.
60,000 cases of canned fruits.
40 carloads of vinegar.
20 carloads of cider.
6 carloads of dried apples.
2 carloads of dried berries.
Some of the above Was canned in a co-operative'cannery
in Oregon, shipped thence to New York and back again to
Montana. The above does not include canned strawberries,
squash, rhubarb and asparagus.
Every pound of the above could be produced in the Bit
ter Root valley and in the immediate territory around Mis
soula.
It is estimated that in the Bitter Root valley alone, there
are about 20,000 acres now set to orchard, not more than
2,000 acres of which is yet. in bearing..
If there can be full co-operation among the people di
rectly interested in fruit growing in the valley, the meas
ures now afoot to find a ready market for the fruit from
these 20,000 acres, both green and preserved, will, it is es
timated, require the labor for several months in the year
of about 40,000 people-men, women and children.
* To care for, pick, sort ancd ship the cherries alone from
the acreage now set in the valley will require. about 7,000
people for a five weeks' period.
The eastern seed houses already have a large acreage in
the valley for the purpose of growing seed for the eastern
market. The peas are of the finest quality and flavor and
tests made of Bitter Root canned corn sho-tit ~ora'nk with
the very highest quality, that is only grown in northern lati
tudes.
The berries and small fruits' have not been raised in
great quantities, for the simple reason that the local can
nery is absolutely essential to the success of the business.
Co-operation is becoming the watchword of the farmers
throughout the world. In Wisconsin there are 1,500 suc
cessful co-operative farming associations. The American
farmer has been a pretty hard man to work in double har
ness. His whole manner of life has tended to make of
him an individualist. But he is slowly learning the lesson
that pulling together brings better results than pulling'
apart.
On the Spur of the Moment
By ROY K. MOULTON.
CONTENTED
I'm glad I'm not a statesman,
For I can talk all day
And no one criticises
A single word I say.
I go and tour the country,
I ramble and I roam,
And no newspapers tell me
I'm paid to stay at home.
Nobody gets excited
WVhen I shoot off my mouth,
And thinkers don't harpoon me
East, west, north and south.
They do not buzz around me
And add unto my cares
Ily openly discussing
%ly personal affairs.
I do not have to squander
Five times what 1 am paid
To entertain the diplomats
Of every name and grade.
They don't present my features
In cartoons that are pert.
(Opponents do not slam me
And harp on truths that hurt.
I'm glad I'm not a statesman,
He's welcome to his job;
SUnknown to fame, I like my game,
I'd rather be a lob.
WHAT YOU CAN'T DO
You can lead a horse to water, but
you cannot make him drink; sur
round a fool with wisdom, but you
cannot make him think. You show
an ingrate kindness and get injured
for your pains. You can dress a dude
in fashion, but you can't give him
brains. You can bring the rich to
justice, but it takes a lot of time.
While the poor man goes to prison,
the rich ope pays the fine. If you
study human nature, you'll find freaks
of every strain. Some you see excel
in stature; others great with nerve or
brain. You'll find lots of faults to
criticise-perhaps some traits to
praise; but it's just as Nature made
us~ .:ys. That explaips our funny
ways: Dbn't get too close to the busz
saw or tickle a mile that's tame.
DI)on't give advice to those in love or
bet on another man's game., -
FROM THE HICKEYVILLE
CLARION
Some unprincipled apology, for a
human being has broken into our
woodshed and stolen our'ax. Our wife
missed it when she went out to get it
for the purpose of chopping off
enr.ough wood to get dinner. It was a
mean trick, for she had to finally hack
the wood up with otir razor, the same
one she used for opening cans of oys
ters and scraping the rust oft the top
of the kitchen range. What is horne
without an ax It is like a hip with'
out a rudder or a peacock without a
tail. No man can ever t.l---juast.. a
indispensible as the chinm y on the
house. While we are tninbs an' Ax,
book agents, bill collectors and ifte
insurance solicitors can cUll with itm
ounity or without it just' as they
like. We also used our dx to peel
onions, open clams, crack' ice, spread
sandw!ohes and turn pancakes, so the
reader can readily un.d(rstand our
great loss. Will the gentleman who
stole our ax please return it by .eat
urday, as the man who collects the
installments on our phonograph calls
that day, and we are desirous of corit
ing to an amicable agreement with
him, which w2 are sure we can do it
we have the ax.

JOSEPH SMITH LEAVES SON AS
SUCCESSOR-:HE. PASSES IN
MODEL FASHION
Independence, Mo., Dec. 10.-A reve
lation announced by Joseph Smith,
president of the Reorganized Church
of the Latter Day Saints; eight years
ago, designating as his successor his

revelation in 1906 has fulfilled many
of the duties of leadership, automat
ically becomes head of the church.

His designation to succeed his father
was ratified by the church general
conference, shortly after the father an
nounced that he had received the rev
elation.
End Cheerful.
Although he was blind, and during
the last dclays suffered frequent rushes
of pain, President Smith in his final
hours showed a cheerful humor. Just
before he becaino unconscious he
smiled and said:
"I wish those of my friends, who
may intefid placing flowers on my cof
fin, would refrain. Let them give the
money to charity'"
The wife, six sons and two daugh
ters of the president were at his bed
side wheji he died and had been about

council as to the future conduct of the
churdih.

afternoon:. Thle body is to lie in state
In the church from 8 o'clock in the
