Our Congressman Joseph Q:
Next Cannon of Illinois is the
Speaker. new Speaker OF the
House of Representatives. Mr. Can
non has been in Congress for % years
and for % years has been member OF
the very important committee on ap-
preparations and for 10 years has been
it's chairman. AS to his peculiarities
it is said that he wears boots,' cheWs
tobacco, tells funny stories, eats corn
off the cob, and has found more soft
jobs in the government service for his
friends than any other five men in
Congress. He is also described as being
homely and genial and has a good big
lot of plain common sense. Out in his
district he is said to be as popular as
Santa Claus and has friendly hand
grasp for all his neighbors..
Loss of Energy The great invention
In the which the Goth CEN
Steam Engine. fury must produce
is to generate electricity directly from
coal without the intervention of the
steam engine. For out of every one
hundred pounds of coal that is burned
in an engine 80 pounds and over is a
total loss. Eight pounds is good
average, we are told, out of the 100
for the power produced. Twenty-Five
pounds goes up the chimney in gas and
smoke, 81 pounds gets away in steam
after going through the pipes, 10
pounds are used to pump water into
the. boiler, and radiation and leakage
does the rest. Take concern which
is using 10 or Is tons of coal day for
power and if some scheme can be de-
vised whereby electricity can be gen.
Grated directly from the coal without
all this waste, then one ton will do the
work now done by 10 tons. This would
work a revolution in manufacturing
and help to cheaper goods.

The OUTLOOK.
The Freight Perhaps never in the
Situation. history Of our country

The Freight Perhaps never in the
Situation. history Of our country
was there such a vast amount of
freight being carried and such freight
blockade as now confronts our rail-
roads. One paper says that "From
San francisco to New York the
freight yards and sidings are so crowd
ed that there is almost blockade"
AS a matter of fact there are not
enough freight cars to hold the freight
that is offered nor enough locomotives
to haul the cars. Western cattlemen
are complaining that there are not
enough stock cars SO that they can
transport the cattle to market. The
coal operators are SO bothered for cars
that they compel the dealers to agree
to unload all cars received in two days.
Recently in Waterbury large force OF
men worked at shoveling coal all day
Sunday so that the cars might 60 back
to the mines as soon as possible. The
shops that turn out cars are fairly
swamped with orders and have sold
their output for months ahead. This
difficulty in securing freight facilities
is something Of check to production
as some shops are not able to get ma
terial to keep their hands at work. II
is evident from this that business i.
expanding and our carrying trade ha!
not kept up with the procession. A
monster corn crop to move, a big ap
pie supply in one part of the country
to transport to another and genera
prosperity IN manufactures, with 6
loud call for coal, has used up all avail
able cars.

An Appeal to the People.


Everyone knows that Sunday is scarce
ly recognized in Williston. Stores,
shops and places Of amusement are wide
open. Many express dissapproyaf of
this condition and it is condemned in no
mild terms by visitors from better regu-
lated communities. Further. it works q
great injustice to the men and women
employed in the various establishments.
They are deprived fthe privilege (glyen
to us all by the laws of God and Of our
State), of one day in seven, on which to
enjoy their homes and families, and rest
or attend church as they may feel dis
posed, It is not fair to lay the whole
blame of this condition on the employers.
They would gladly close their doors if
it were not for the constant demand of
people who have neglected to do their
marketing on Saturday. We ask the
people to right this wrong by doing no
buying on Sunday and so enable en-
ployers and employed to enjoy their
we'll earned weekly rest.

The School Picnic at Wilson's Grove
last Saturday WAS not as largely attended
as it would have been, had not the
weather been SO threatening. All of
the children however attended and had
merry and enjoyable time, besides an
abundance of good things to eat. There
was some rain but it did not serve TO
dampen IN any way, the spirits of the
littleones, Last year the picnic was
postponed three different times on &C.
count OF rain, and finally was given up.

Commencement Exercises.

On last Thursday evening occurred the
Second Annual Commencement of the
Williston High School. at which time
four of Willis,on's young people, viz:
Lily NJ. Nelson, Maud Bell. George New
ton, jr., and Robert Bell received diplo-
mas for having completed the course of
study prescribed for the High School
here. The exercises were largely at
tended and betokened the interest that
Williston people have in their public
school system. The program opened
with piano duet by Misses Baldwin
and Bell, and was followed by chorus
by the P. o. s. Club. After prayer by
Rev. T. A. Taylor and piano duet by
Mrs. Miller and Miss Satterlund came
the essay of Lily NJ. Nelson, one of the
graduates, who took for her subjec,
Fashions. Miss Nelson handled her
subject in an able manner and showed
that che had given it careful thought.
The Essay, "The Canal" by Robert Bell,
was interesting to the audience. who
followed closely the history of canals,
their growth and their almost unlimited
possibilities in the future. as a help to
commercial interests in the world. Miss
Onona Young, accompanied by her sister
Miss Ethel Young on the piano, rem
dered the "Gipsy Melody" by Sarsate,
on the violin, wierd and yet exceed
ing musical piece, il manner that was
nothing short of Wonderful. Mjss1o Dung
is certainly an artist and on MS her first
introduction to the Nilliston public
pleased them HnYs6sely. Maud Bell
then gave her Ess6y on "Wireless Tele-
graphy" in Nay that did credit to her
and showed the growth and importance
of this comparatively new invention.
George Newton chose for his subject
Herman. the First Hero of English
Liberty. The theme was an interest
ing one to his hearers and showed care
full work in preparation and detail
throughout the entire essay. After a
chorus by the school, Prof. A. P. Hollis
Of Valley City, gave an address on "Life
Long Friends, which contrary to the
expectations was on the subject of
Books. His subject was cleverly
handled and brought out in novel way
how we could have life long friends to
correspond to our every mood by simply
selecting them from our library. Judge
E. Leonhardy conferred the diplomas
and gave the graduates q forcible and
timely talk full of good wholesome ad-
vice. Prof. E.. r. Brownson's address
to the class was listened to with much in
terest by the audience as we'll as by the
members of the class. A chorus by the
school and the benedicjon by Rev. Snow
closed the entertainment.

Aaeient Games, Some Of Them Played
by Little Savaoes.


The little savages of years gone
by were much more fond Of and de-
voted to games and sports than we
are nowadays. Perhaps that was
because they hadn't as much to do
as the people of modern times. The
rougher the game was the more they
liked it.
The ancient Australians most
popular sport was wild game call
ed Marn Crook. It was very much
like football, only, if possible, rough
er- They had a ball made of skins.
There were no goals, and the object
of the game was for each side to
keep the ball in its possession, and
this often resulted in a small battle,
for as many as liked could play, an
even number being Oh each side.
Then these same people used a
curious little toy called ssweet,''
and throwing the wee weet'' was
one of their fayorite pastimes. This
resembles orr putting the shot,
only the weet was small and light
and could be thrown to an incredi-
BILE distance.
The inhabitants of Tonga, also
saVages, had a game which the boys
and girls of Scotland play today.
One person would hold some small
article behind his back, and another
would try to guess which hand it
was in. The Scotch have written
this verse to it:
Nievie. Nievie Nick Mack:
Which hand will We tax?
Be we RIGHT or be We wrang
I'll beguile We if I can.
IF a person were clever enough to
change the article from hand to.
hand, he kept it, but if his opponent
guessed rightly it was forfeited
