To Try Rule of the Sliding Scale

An Improvement IN the working equip
future may be logarithmic sliding rule
by which tax levies may be extended with
from one-half to one-fourth the work
under the present card system. Clerk
oscar Swayze is thinking seriously of max
ing a study of the rule, which will do the
business, it is claimed, and perhaps. of in
ises to be much simpler than the present
system and will save both time and ex-
pense to the county besides being much
more accurate than the system in use
The rule is a marvellous little instru-
ment An engineer for the public utilities
commission who is working on the nhysf-
cal valuation of the railroads, had one to-
day working in the clerks office. He
uroyed conclusively that one can multiply
and divide with his rule without any diff
ficulty. All there is to it is to know how

HIGH As CATS BACK.
Postmaster Rodgers Hat Went Up in
Air-Never Came Back.

Up went the hat and it never came
down. 1t belonged to Postmaster A
K Rodgers, and he is still wondering
what became of it. Kansas zephyrs
are famed in fact and story. The To-
peka postmaster has added his gem to
legends of city windstorms.
Mr.. Rodgers stepped from the re-
volving door of the postoffice. Around
the corner swirled a wild gray wind
1t whisked the postmaster's derby
from his astonished head. He started
in pursuit. The hat wheeled frisk1ly
across the street; it paused; the post
master advanced warily. Then the hat
rose: up went the hat. The postmas-
ter cooked his eye toward the clouds.
He waited until he thought it was time
for it to descend; the hat was still
rising. He waited longer, looked up.
The hat had disappeared.
"Wh-where's my hat?" stammered
the postmaster.
The hat was gone-attacked by the
aviation fever. 1t went the way of all
good things. What happened to the
hat? Might man in need of a derby
search the roof of the federal build
ing?

THIS IS APPLE DAY
IN TWO STATES
MlSSOULA JOINS WASHINGTON
IN PAYING HOMAGE TO
KING OF FRUITS.

Today western Montana joins with
the state of Washington in observing
Apple day. By its observance it is
hoped to stimulate IN appetite and an
interest in the king of fruits, and the
people of Missoula are urged to enter
into the real spirit of the occasion in
which the Missoula Chamber of COM
merce takes the lead in the local field.
In Washington. the governor desig-
mated April 5 as Apple day in an Off
cial proclamation, The chamber in
Missoula, the center of western Mon,
tana's famous f~ruit-groWing district,
took the Initiative in Montana and
made plans to assist in the campaign
that Washington makes state wide.
The Plan.
AS it is the people on the outside
who need to be informed about the SUI
perior qualities of western apples and
who must be educated to a fuller APP
probation of the health and joy that is
concealed meath each rich, red blush
of every piece of the fruit Montana
grown, Secretary Ferguson of the
chamber decided that the most prac-
tlcal way to observe Apple day in Mis-
soula would be to get as much fruit
as possible into the hands-and the
s~tomachs-of the travelling public. To
TINS end he communicated with the
proper officials of the railway com-
panies whose lines extend through Mis-
soula and quickly secured co-opera-
ton H. j. Titus, head of the dining
car department of the Northern Pa
cific, sent word by wire that he had
instructed his dining car conductors |
to serve and distribute all of the APP
pies the passengers on their trains
could consume today. H.. II. Tay- !
enner, local agent of the Milwaukee,
received word from General Passenger
Agent Hubbard that the Milwaukee
would do everything possible along the
same line.
After securing these promises the
m of commerce gathered a
cholce stock of apples and has had
lhem packed in special crates, each
holding 10 apples. Stack and stacks
OF these crates of fruit were prepared,
ana last evening consignments were
sent TO each passenger station to be
on hand for free distribution to the
early morning trains. More fruit will
