"WE MAY AWAKE BEFORE WE

The title of this waiting was ap
plied in times tinged with the mur
der of a patriot to the cause. It may
be applied today with an equal effect,
and forcing to us the truth of the
statement.
The Montana farmer is facing a
crisis, the worst of its kind, and* one
which may terminate in his financial
ruin. It has thus happened to a
third of the farmers already, in this
State. And the industry which feeds
and clothes a nation may totter over
the edge and may be shattered on the
rocks of bankruptcy below. Drifting
in a trance, who can avoid calamity?
We must awake! •
What can a body of men do poli

opposition is organized,
ready for the fight in the next elec

we still may have the power to put a
burr in the machinery and hold up
the engine of finance for a while.
And the only way we can do this is
by organization.
We must awake! We cannot get
along without hope, else all will be
lost. We are going to have that
hope. Give it up, and we might as
well quit. It does no good to talk of
conditions when \\'o are doing nothing
to better them. We are then hypo
crites. Faith is what we need. Force j

that apricots from last year's crops
are still in the packing houses of the
cooperatives, with no offers for this

for the growers.
GRAPE GROWERS RUINED
The same situation exists in the
grape growing districts. The presi
dent of one of the biggest chains of
banks in California is also president
o fthe fruit commission house which
handles most of the grape and apricot
crops. This firm compels the farmer
not only to furnish the fruit but to
pay the freight as well.
BANKRUPT GROWERS GIVE UP
HOMES
Many of the bankrupt fruit growers
have given up their homes and have
gone into the desert to start again.
The hankers, who are also frequently
commission men on the side, then take
over the land and lease it to tenants.

FIND EMPLOYMENT
FOR VETERANS
The following interesting informa
tion has been received from the office
of General Frank T. Hines, Director!
of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau, Wash
ington, D. C.:
"To care for the rapidly growing
number of rehabilitated men seeking
places, the Bureau established an Em
plovment Service. The Government!
feels it a part of its task to render
every aid in providing the trainee
with a job or position that will enable
him to support himself and his tie
pendents. *
"Very positive progress has been
made in the employment phase of the
rehabilitation work, especially during
the past six months. On March 1 ,
1923, with 19tf!S4 cases referred to
them employment service for action,
there were 1,207 listed as "not em
ployed". On September 1, after a to
tal of 33,111 cases hail been referred
to the Service, there were but 1,158
rehabilitated men "not in employ
ment". It must be noted that in the
not employed" class are included
those who "cannot be located," those
who "do not desire employment',, and
those who are sick or deferring em
ployment.
It is interesting to note that the
Employment Service maintains a "fol
low-up" system whereby a man is
not listed as employed until he has
shown for a period of four months
that he is able to fill a position. The
figures for employment are therefore
bona fide figures and not the number
of men for whom jobs have been
found.
• •
. .
I More than 33,000 rehabilitated vet
erans have gone into employment
within the last two years. Statistical
Studies made of an "unpicked" 20,000
of these show that they are earning
more than they earned before the war
and before they receeived their disa
bilities or handicaps from service in
the military forces of their country.
"It is estimated that 13,359 veter
ans will be rehabilitated and provided
with jobs during the months of Sep
tember, October, November, and De
cember of this year.
It may be added that in District No.
10 consisting of the states of Minne
sota, North Dakota, South Dakota,
and Montana, it is estimated that 150
disabled veterans will complete their
training during October. 93 in Novem
ber, and 169 in December.
