ENDLESS CHAIN SCHEME
OF ECONOMIC SALVATION

The cooperative commonwealth,
organized here by M. G. Arm
strong, gets into the whirl of eco
monte propaganda with a scheme
to boycott capitalism and make
everybody happy. Here is how
Armstrong explains the latest reve-
lation:
I'VE have conceived and for
mulated a plan whereby the CAPT
talistic mechanism can be put out
of existence in the course of five
years without socialism or regard
less of party prejudice.
"Our system works on the same
principle as the endless letter
chain" charging small fee to
each member, which money is to
become alive at once and syndicate
a purely cooperative system which
will manufacture and produce ev-
erything necessary for the susie
nance of the human family at the
most economic figures ever set be-
fore commonwealth.
There is absolutely no reason
why this plan will not work upon
such an economic basis as to refute
and show up the careless newt
able conditions that always will
exist under the present admins
tration, but we are going to let the
administration and politics take
care of itself; as politics will not
regulate us, but we will regulate
our cooperative enterprise so that
the trust magnates will be glad to
conform to our system, even as
much so as we are now handi-
capped to do anything and have
to appeal for mercy and existence
to the heartless and soulless cor
porations which regulate the food
rations of those who are the real
producers of the luxuries of our ad-
vanced republic.
THE time is at hand when the
representatives of predatory wealth
will precipitate in hasty confusion
from their royal pedestals of feign-
ed integrity and valor, whether
such action is caused by change
of party or through evolution, but
as sure as the gray eventide fol
Iowc tho Iioht of daWuinp day the
time is near at hand"

success in railroading!
Suppose, for a moment, that you
were young man bent upon enter
ing railroading as your life work
Suppose you had free choice in
seeking advice To whom would
you go first?
To the one railroad man of the
century. To Edward H. Hartman.
OF course!
And suppose you sought to learn
from this man which would be the
more valuable to you, financial
training involving a mastery of the
dizzy Wall street game of prac-
teal experience of railroad building
and operating. From Hartman.
railroad king, past master of the
Wall street game. the man who but
few weeks ago matched his years
of training in financial manipula-
ton against the practical expert
ence of George Gould and won
from this man you would expect
but one answer.
And you would be fooled.

when he was in San Francisco just
after his recent trip through the
northwest.

That was his answer.
Hartman was in conference with

POOR CENTRAL HAS
HYSTEROTRUlNI7ZSM

All telephone girls have it, says
DR.. Wallbaum of Berlin, who has
been making a scientific study of
exchange operators.
Many of the girls in the Spokane
telephone exchanges think they
have it, though they haven't known
just what it is.
Wall baum says these things are
mostly due to the electric current.
He says it gets on the nerves of
the girls.
Jewelry that magnetizes should
never be worn.
Worst of all, Wallbaum says, the
hello girls can't be pretty unless
they take exceeding pains. The
electricity is bad for the COM
plexion.

JUST HOW "UNFIT"
COL. STEWART IS

Special Correspondence to The Press
FORT HUACHUCA, Ariz., Sept
23.-It was after a morning visit
to Colonel Stewart, the Fort Grant
exile, that | raped at the door of
the house on officers row occupied
by Lieutenant c. l.. Baker former
ly contract surgeon, but recently
made a lieutenant in the medical
department of the army.
Stewart was denied the riding
test for fear of "injurious' conse-
quences, and has been ordered be-
fore a retiring board to be found
physically disabled The finding
| will prevent him assuming the
rank his AZ years of service entitle
him to.
Il am told, lieutenant" l said,
that you are one of the two sur
geons who examined Colonel Stew
art as to his fitness to take the
riding test. Can you tell me the
substance of that report?'
Il cannot talk on that subject at
all. Report confidential. Sorry,
was the terse reply.
Over near the stables stood Ser
geant WOenna, bronzed old troop
er, who has seen II years of active
service in the cavalry.
Have you seen Colonel Stewart
since he came to this post?" | ask
ed him.
Sure, and a husky old fellow he
is" was the hearty answer.
There's two men stationed here
that served under him for years.
They say he was always good to
his men, but that he had a tiff now
and then with civilians and con
tractors. They say he was a fine
officer, but the only trouble was he
had a bad temper and he got into
trouble with the big bugs"
But how about this test he was
going to make? They say the doc
tors turned him down and that he's
got to go back to Fort Grant. Do
you think he could take the rider
The old cavalryman, bluff and
bronzed by many a day under the
Arizona sun, looked up with a
smile that faded into a frown.
Take the test?"
Sergeant Woenna snorted. Then
he gave an answer straight from
the shoulder.
D it, man, I'd put that ole
officer up against any of the Older
officers at this post and back hin
with a years pay to beat them all
He's as spry as a cricket. He!
one of the best riders in this post
He'd skin all the old officers of the
Fifth cavalry on a test ride an(
come back smiling in a canter, anC
he'd knock out a. good many of the
young ones, too.

I've sized him up, as I've seen hin
walking and riding around here
could make that 80 miles in 2.
hours and not turn hair, let alone
making it in three days"
Later on | met Lieutenant Bar
ton at the headquarters office.
1t was two days after Colone
Stewart had received his orders t.
return to Fort Grant
You and Colonel Stewart had
horseback ride last night together
Did you ride far?" | suggested.
I'VE rode nine or ten miles,
guess. Something like that. Colone
Stewart and the chaplain and
went out for ride together"
