PRESIDENT WILSON
 FIRES AWAY AT
 THE LABOR UNIONS

Princeton. N. J.. June 14.-"Unprofit- able Servants" who impoverish their own lives. and through their increas- ing number threaten the economic cussed yesterday by President Wood row Wilson in baccalaureate ad- dress before the graduating class at Princeton University.
 Duty is a very handsome word is Q very handsomething-butI let every man look at it that he comprehend what 1t really means" said President Wilson. "It conveys an obligation We have not done our duty, we have not even earned our wages. when we have done merely that which we were obliged to do. We have done our duty only when we have done that which we know completes the service. when we have put the best that was in us into the task. our hearts into the bar gain.
 You know what the usual standard of the employe is in our day. It Is to give as little as he may for his wages. Labor is standardized by the trades unions. and this is the standard to which it is made to conform. No one is suffered ito do more than the aver and handcrafts no one is suffered to do more than the least skillful of his fellows can do within the hours aI- lotted to a days labor. and no one
 
 teer anything beyond the minimum.
 "I need not point out how economi- cally disastrous such a. regulation of labor ie. It is so unprof1table to the employer that in some trades it will presently not be worth his while to attempt anything at all. He had bet ter stop altogether than operate at an inevitable loss.
 "The labor ofsAmerica is rapidly be- coming unprof1table under it's present regulation by those who have deter mined to reduce it to minimum. Our economic supremacy may be lost be- cause the country grows more and more full of unprofitabie servants.
 s'But we do not need to turn to the trades unions to illustrate our disre- gard for the true meaning of duty. You know how some men cheapen their college diplomas by getting them for as little work as possible. and you know that the diplomas they receive mean nothing. They cheat nobody but themselves. The service of study is meant for nobody but themselves"

NEW HAVEN PLANS

DIRECTORS DECIDE FIRST TO
 ELECTRIFY ROAD FOR FREIGHT
 BETWEEN STAMFORD AND ELM
 CITY. t
 New Haven, Conn., June 14.-The equipment of the New Haven Railroad with electricity from Stamford to New Haven will include the most extensive experiments in moving freight and ducted. Final action on the extension of the electrical equipment of that,part of the railroad was decided upon by the railroad Directors at their monthly meeting in New York City Saturday. The feature of their decision was. how ever. that the extension should be first operated for freight. and later by pas senger service This is exactly the reverse of the plan put through in the New York to Stamford plan. It has not even seemed wise yet to extend the electricity traffic between New York and Stamford to freight.
 The decision to equip the Stamford New Haven stretch of road by cleo tricity for freight service allows the experts to work out the peculiar set of experiments which will be presented by this feature of the task.
 Complete faith is held by the railroad officials in the success of the attempt to eventually haul both passenger and freight traffic of the railroad system by electricity. As soon as the experf- ments on the New Haven-Stamford proposed electrical belt are worked out. the space between New York and Stamford will be operated by cleo trfcity for it's freight traffic.
 It is denied by an official of the rail- road that the Westinghouse Company has received the contract for the New Haven Stamford work. or that it had been decided to give it to them. In fact. the Directors voted Saturday to throw open the competition. and the work of $20. o00. GOO will be one of the largest pieces of work included in the return of American prosperity, which is believed to be near at hand.
 The fact that the Westinghouse firm built the New York-Stamford line did not lead the Directors to select it for the New Haven-Stamford work all though the bid of the Westinghouse Company may yet be accepted.
 The conclusion of the experiments in freight hauling between this city and Stamford will leave the railroad off, cials in a position rapidly to take up the electrification of the road from this city to Boston for both passenger, and freight traffic.

sleep day or night because of that dread full itching; when did sleep it was from sheer exhaustion. I was one mass of irritation; it was even in my scalp. Tho doctors medicine seemed to make me worse and was almost out of my mind. I read of Cuticura and sent my wife to the druggist, who was a member of my lodge of Odd Fellows, for a set of the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent. I used them per- sistently for twenty-four hours. That night I slept like an infant, the first solid nights sleep I had had for six months. was not afraid to use plenty of Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Soap with hot water and in a weeks time l was able to put on my clothes again. In a month I was cured. From that day to this cannot praise the Cuticura Remedies too highly. I may add that I have very heavy head of hair which I owe to Cuticura. w. Harrison Smith, RED. 2, Mt.

 'I mean I've come here to give you the biggest thrashin' you ever got. An now's the time I begin.
 B1acarda, at the slow forward mo- tion of Caleb's body. sprang furiously at the Fighter. He was a strong man; large and well built But he might as well have tried to stop the rush of a charging bull-elephant as to block Calebs attack. Not even taking the pains to guard the heavy Ieft-hander that Blacarda drove full into his face, ConOver was upon his foe.
 Backward across the room Caleb drove the other with a lightning sue cession of short arm blows that bat tered down Blacarda's guard and smashed with fearful force upon his hail of fists, Blacarda ducked and clinched.
 Conover shook him off as though his antagonist had been a child, and ran in again to the assault. One right hand blow crashed into Blacarda's face and hurled him backward against the wall. As he rebounded forward from sheer shock of the double impact Con- overs fist caught him flush on the jaw and he collapsed sense,ess to the floor.
 Conover was at the unconscious body before it had fairly touched ground. He beat with insane rage upon the Rpturned. defenseless face. hammering 1t to pulp; growing and whining all the time between his hard-set teeth like some rabid jungle beast worrying it's meat.
 Caine flung upon the door and ran into the roo1n:-thereby in all prob ability saving B1acarda's life. Taking in the scene at a glance. he launched himself upon the growing, mauling victor. With all his wiry strength he sought to drag Conover away from the senseless man. But his utmost muscu- lar power was as nothing to that of the giant who was still wreaking brute vengeance on the inert mass beneath him.
 At length. employing a wrestling de- vice. Caine managed to drag the un- prepared Fighter backward. from be- hind: and by sudden wrench to throw him to one side. Still keeping behind Conover. out of reach of the hammer-fists. the slighter man suc- ceeded in pinioning Caleb,s arms by slipping his own hands and wrists be- tween the others elbows and his body. Trussed up. helpless as he was Caleb wrfthcd and snar1ed like a leashed bulldog. In another moment he would have wrenched himself free by dint of main force. had not Gaines voice at last penetrated the red wrath-mists of his brain.

SECRET WORKERS
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates.

Coffee is such a secret worker that
it is not suspected as the cause of sick
ness or disease, but there is a very
sure way to find out the truth.

using it for some time and was an
invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the Worm

it discontinued with instructions to
use Postum regularly in it's place.

Montana is that it is a very doubtful

immigration. Montana's voting pop.
