The Envelope Return Card.

We notice in the Postmaster Gen.
erals report suggestion that peo-
pie writing letters should sign their
full names and addresses to their
letters, and there would never be a
letter but what could be returned
if it failed to reach the person it
was intended for. The report sug-
gests a better way than that too,
but one which is a little more ex-
pensiye. That Is to have a small
card printed on the corner of the
envelope. This will cost only a
trifie, and if the letter cannot be de-
livered TO the address, or the adj
dress should be wrong, the letter
would come back in the course of
Ave to seven days, instead of going
through the dead letter office, and
finally being returned to the writer
after lapse of two months or more.
The latter suggestion is much the
best, and can be adopted at a very
small expense We print envelopes.

The Boy That LOafs.

Vinton Times: A Vinton boy re-
Gently informed the editor of the
Times that he had rather loaf than
work for less than five dollars a
week. Now that boy may possess
the germs of success in his make
up, but the chances are that he does
not.
The boy that would rather loaf
than work for less than five dollars
or even three dollars a week is lack
ing in purpose. His aim in life is
too low. He ought to raise the sight
on his gun. The most insignificant
salary may mean the stepping stone
to great future. Where the boy
has a living at home the salary he
starts in at ought to have no weight
whatever. The time was when boys
spent years learning trade, only
to be paid a most insignificant sal
airy after the first or second year.
Now the boy who thinks he wants
to learn an honest vocation must at
least have five dollars a week, no
matter how useless he may be to
his employer.
Employers are not looking for
salary seekers,-what they want is
workers. The average employer is
not averse to paying for services
rendered if those services are as his
business demands. The average
employer had rather pay man
larger salary than a small one
IL his employee has the training and
the willingness to do the work re-
quired of him and the ability to
make his efforts source of profit.
There are of course situations where
man cannot in the very nature
of things increase his employers
profits, but he can save waste, avoid
profit-losing accidents and in other
ways make the value of his service
felt, and for such a man there is
always a job. He may at times
find himself in the employ of men
who do not fully appreciate his SER
vices, but such cases are the ex-
ception rather than the rule.
The first thing for boy to do who
would be successful is to have a
purpose in life. He should lose
sight of salary and present condi-
tions and forget that his duties are
at times irksome, and always keep
his eyes fixed on the star that in
fluences a good life and urges him
on to successful efforts.

Beet Growers May Suffer Loss.

BUTTE, Dec. 7.-United States Dep.
uty Marshal Sanders has just returned
from q trip to eastern Montana. He
said that owing to the recent trouble
on the railroads many thousands of
tons of sugar beets which the farmers
of eastern Montana had raised last
season, were lying on the side OF the
railroad track awaiting shipment to
the Billings sugar beet factory.
Unless the beets are removed soon
the farmers of eastern Montana will
suffer great loss, for the beets are
likely to be unfit for use after being
frozen. The railroads at the present
time are unable to take care of this
product because of shortage of cars
and the switchmen's strike. Mr.. San
ders said that along the railroad
switches the sugar beets we're stacked
up like cordwood, aggreg ating many
thousands of tons and representing a
great amount of money.

Switchmem Receive Good Wages

While the general public is deeply
interested in the switchmen's strike on
the Great Northern which has resulted
in closing down of numerous industries
affecting many hundred men in this
county, few are aware of the actual
wage conditions which have resulted
In the strike, says the Great Falls
Leader.
Up to the time of the strike, accord
ing to the local Great Northern Off.
cials, the Great Falls switchmeu we're
working upon a wage schedule which
paid the switchmen 43 cents per hour
and their helpers 80 cents per hour.
A days work consisted of ten hours
so that not figuring overtime, foremen
drew $3.50 per day and helpers $50
per day.
In the superintendent's Office it is
stated that for some period there has
been sufficient work to keep the meg
employed twelve hours per day for
each day in the month and that if they
followed their engines for this full
time and for thirty days in the mouth
their aggregate pay would have been
1854. 80 for foremen and $l36. 80 for
helpers, and the November payroll
shows that wages As high as $3.50 were
earned by foremen. However, if the
men worked their straight ter hours
per day leaving out Sundays and
holidays and figuring rs days in the
month, their earnings under the pres.
ent schedule would be Gill. 80 for fore
men and s9S. 80 for helpers.
Under the" proposed schedule the
men ask for an increase of six cents
per hour and for double pay for all
overtime, for Sundays and hold ys.
The Great Northern officials state that
the switchmen in Great Falls and
Butte are receiving the highest SEIZED.
ule paid 10 the country, the Butte
schedule being one-hslf cent per hour
over that paid the Great Falls men.
