SPECIAL SESSION
Governor of Montana Calls
For Relief Laws.
TO AID INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS.
Works Of the AmaIgamated Copper
Company VIII Resume Mt Once
Ii Various Parts of
the state.

HELENA. Mont, Nov. 11.-Governor
Toole has called Il special session of
the legislature to meet at Helena to
pass laws to relieve the industrial con-
dition in Montana caused by the shut
ting down of the Am~algamated Copper
company's properties, whereby 15,WO
persons were directly thrown out of
work and $1,000 more affected.
| The aim Of the session is to pass a
law whereby mining cases may be tax
en- from one court to another when
the judge in the initial court is shown
TO be prejudiced.
Other legislation of like character
has also been promised. A so called
fair trial bill of the character proposed
was pnssed by the last legislature, but
was decided by the supreme court to
be unconstitutional on technical
grounds. Recently ut Butte Judge VIII
liam Clancy Of the district court gave
Il decision in which he said that he
might appoint a receiver at any time
for the Boston and Montana company,
Il Of the largest constituent COM
puiAINo VI lliN -hllItAlsnhlIUiNN II 'N
cision WAC made OF the application of
John MacGinnis, n prominent holder
Of stock In the properties controlled by
+. Augustus HcinZe OF the Montana
Orc Purchasing company, which has
been at war with the Amalgamated for
years.
Upon this announcement by Judge
Clancy President William Scallon Of
the Anaconda Mining company and
general manager of the AmalganHted
issued orders TO shut down all the
Amalgnmnted properties In Montana
and elsewhere, declaring that the COM
pany, unable to secure judicial fair
ness in the courts. could not continue in
business. Since that time Governor
Toole has been overwhelmed with pc
titions signed by thousands of citizens
Of Montana asking him to call a spe-
cial session to pass lawR to relieve the
conditions.
The works of the Amalgamated com
pany will at once resume in various
parts of the state. This includes the
greater mines in Butte, the smelters
of the WashOe company in Anaconda,
the largest in the world; the smelters
of the Boston and Montana company
in Great Falls, also vast In their ca
pacity; the coal mines at Storrs. Belt,
Oakdale and in Wyoming; the great
quarry in northern Montana and the
immense lumber industries in western
and northwestern Montana.
The resumption of the Amalgamated
properties means the return to work of
approximately 10000 men and the
averting of an Industrial crisis In Mon
tana, as the Amalgamated Copper oper-
ates In at least six different counties.
In Butte alone it restores a pay roll OF
about $4,000 a day. Seven thousand
men will resume work in Butte this
Morning.

Advertising is a serious thing with
the business men OF today II is Osli-
mated that business men Of the United
States are spending six billions Of dol
lars a year on advertising What the
advertiser Is after is to learn the GUS
toners wants, what will catch the at
tentiOn, what will impress itself upon
his mind and lead him to buy. He
wants TO know the minds Of his Gus
toners.
"The theory Of advertising Is moth
ing but a stubborn and systematic at
tempt to understand and to explain the
workings of the minds of these very
persons.
Among the first requirements for
the successful advertisement Is that
makes the least possible demand upon
the intelligence Of the reader. Ii must
be simple. clear. direct and therefore
easily understood. Il must at once
attract attention. To DO this 10 must
be either a new thing attractively pre-
sented or an old thing presented in a
novel manner.
Direct command is the most effec-
tive form OF advertising. This is be-
cause people are Influenced uncon-
sciously by suggestion. Unless their
attention is called TO the fact that they
are following the will Of another they
will without realizing it DO rs they
are told because It saves them The
trouble Of thinking for themselves
Another psychology principle
which lies at the foundation Of sue
oessful ADVERTISING is this: We think
in terms on things. That is. men are
for the most part not given to alb
stract thinking Concrete forms, inn
ages of taste. smell, sight, hearing or
touch form the coin Of their thought
The more concrete an advertisement Is.
therefore the better advertisement
IL is.
1T is here that the illustration is of
Importance The function Of illustra-
tiOn In advertising is two-fold-it must
attract attention. il must aid percep-
tion. Text and Illustration must COM
0ine to emphasize by concrete symbols
the important features OF the thing adj
yehtised. If a piano Is being adver-
tised. pleasant sounda should be sug-
gested If a box Of candy, the mouth
should be made to water. A pair OF
yhoes should be made TO impress one
not only with their style. durability
End cheapress, but also With their
comfort"

Notion of n Naturalist.

"A rope portierre has been an odd and
attractive feature of the study of a
woman naturalist for some time, and
it can be reproduced with so little ex-
pense that it is becoming popular in
college girls apartments. dens and
smaller rooms. Short and long pieces
of rope are used in its manufacture,
and tassels are made of raveled rope
for the end of each piece. Knots are
tied here and there in the rope, and
then the pieces are attached to another
piece Of rope, which is first to be
stretched across the room to form the
top of the portiere. A piece OF fish net
is then hung across the portiere and
caught here and there, forming a sort
of festoon. Into the meshes Of this
are fastened star fish, jingle shells and
other translucent shells, which, where
the light strikes them, make beaut-
full play of color in the rOom.-Pitts-
