Proposed 10 Restore 1879 Tobacco Tax With Which to Build
 National Highways. .

Washington, D. c., Jan. ii.-- While Senator Bourne and his joint committee are going again into the whole question of na- tional aid to good roads, Con- gressman Warburton, of Wash ington, has his bill for the con- struction of national military highway nearly ready for intro tluction in the House.
 This military highway plan, which proved effective in War burton's campaign, calls for the building of paved roads connect ing the capitals of all of the states with each other and with the na- tional capital--a matter of 15,000 miles of highway paved i6 feet wide. The money to pay for this improvement he would secure by restoring the internal revenue tax of 1879 on tobacco. The pres ent revenue from the tobacco tax, he says. is about s5S,OOO, ,O00, while under The tax in force in 1879 it would now be Sl33, GOO, = 900.
 Warburtun would use about So0O, ,O0O of this revenue annual ly for improving roads in each of the national parks.

GUARD CLAIMS
 WITH RIFLES
Clash of Armed Men Expected ov- or Potash Fields, Far From
 Organized Government.

San Bernartlino, Cal, Jan. l4.-- Armed men are guarding every road leading to the Searles pot ash region today, where battle is expected with forces disputine the claim to the property of the California Trona company.
 The men were rushed to the aid of other company employees last evening upon receipt of word here by Attorney J. K. Hutchinson, for the Trona company that an at tack was imminent. At once sev- cral high power automobiles, loaded with heavily armed Burns detectives were started for the desert.
 It is stated that Hutchinson will ask the federal authorities for a squad of deputy marshals to reinforce the tGO men already on guard.
 The struggle centering around [ these potash deposits forms the most stirring romance of the Mojave desert. The trouble be- gan in 1903, shortly after the Foreign Mines Development Co.,. of London, came to the backing of the Trona company, after a federal receiver had been ap- pointed. To assure itself, the company relocated it's claims two years ago. Shortly after the re- location, Henry R. Lee, San Francisco attorney, led a party of armed men to the desert, Osten- sibly to do assessment work, and the first clash came.
 SGarles lake is 200 miles from Los Angeles. il the drieSt, most hopeless section of the inland sand sea. Because of it's inac- possibility, il cannot be policed by the regular authorities and re- ports are current that a frontier destrt drama is impending.

Fire at Early Hour In Morning Gives Daykin Family 6arely
 Time to Escape.

Seward, Jan. li.--F'irr broke out at o'clock this morning in the home of the Daykin family, during the prevalence of high and cold north wind. The family were all asleep when they were awakened by the smell of smoke. By this time the flames had gain ed great headway. cutting off all avenues of escape save the win- dow, the members of the family jumping to the ground below.
 Mrs. w. H. Daykin was injur- ed in jumping, while Miss Alice Daykin, who was the last one to leave the building, was burned about the face and feet, but not seriously, the others having es- capped unhurt.
 The fire soon spread to tn" Wayne Blue home adjoining, par tially consuming it. All the con- tents of the Daykin home was de- stroyed, there being no time to save anything. The furniture in he Blue house was saved. but the clothing of the family was all de- stroyed. The fire department had difficulty in staying the progress of the flames, but managed to confine the damage to- the tw" buildings.

Where LITTLE SCHOLARS Are

But 1t should be remembered that this is
not all a Swiss school teacher gets he ia
always furnished with a good comfortable
house to live in and all the fuel he needs which,
in that cold country, means a great deal
In addition to this, he has a goodsized garden
plot where he can grow much Of his food
And then the school teacher in a Swiss vii
lage is an important parsonage, one who
ranks along with the Mayor, and the clergy
man, and the doctor He is the intellectual
part of the community, and very frequently
he picks up 100 extra each year serving as
secretary Of various associations. creamery
companies, loan associations, carving'selling
concerns and the like. At the same time he
is probably the leader of the village choir
bandmaster, head of the cemetery associa'
ton and active in many such branches.
Such a school teacher gets his home and
soon settles down for life, raising family
and living honored and beloved all his days
frequently teaching four generations Of
children in his life time. One teacher taught
his school without break for sixty-fve years
one had held the position for twenty years
and his father had taught that same school
before him for thirty-f1ve years. Such
teacher gets to know the children and thelg
parents and their grandparents, and finally
such a teacher is pretty we'll qualified to help
direct his students in the walks of life they
seem best fitted for. The Swiss children ars
excellent scholars, and it is rare indeed they
are not rapidly promoted. After four years
of elementary training the children proceed
into schools that are carefully divided foF
the various types of children. Some get
technical training, some few are prepared ior
the university and some for various forms OF
business life, both the boys and the girls.

them in whatever occupation seems best
fitted for them That remains for later train
ing. of for the great god Chance" which is
responsible for so many thousands of occu-
pations that young people enter into.
But in Switzerland, the greatest OF care Is
taken to note Just what yodngster seems
best fitted for, just what he likes best ana
also what he is best adapted for. The old
rule that man will generally succeed in any
sort of business or work that he actually
likes holds good in Switzerland, where the
teachers will put some boys into wood cary
ing and not waste too much OF their time with
a higher education, while other boys will be
educated along mechanical, or theological, or
scientific lines, as they seem best adapted for.
The school teachers in Switzerland are
more than 80 per cent men, and they do not
fit about from city to city and school to
school as they seem to do in certain meas
ure in this country When a man becomes a
school teacher in Switzerland he is generally
a teacher for life.
The pay of these school teachers does not
seem large, but when everything is consid-
cred it will be seen that he is probably doing
better than the average school teacher in this
country. which is not saying so very much,
considering the small pay teachers receive
here.
A Swiss school teacher gets $500, on an
average for his years salary. Some get as
high as $500, or even $500, but such salaries
are rare and generally in wealthy communi-
ties or large cities-that is, large cities for

A VERY small proportion Of our ostrich
- feathers come from the wild birds now
q adays. Twenty years ago there were
but few ostrich farms and the great majority
OF ostrich feathers came faom wild birds
which we're killed by the feather hunters in
South Africa
or course. after the ostriches were killed
the feathers we're pulled out. but now that
the ostrich farms thrive and the birds are
stripped of their plume feathers and turned
loose to grow more greater care has to be
taken
The white ostrich feathers are not fully
developed, There are also black and drab
feathers on the same bird, but when The
white feathers are fully developed they lose
a great deal Of their Wilderness, and in the
olden days had to be bleacned.
Now the ostriches are blindfolded with
hood on the farms and led into sort of
crate-like coop, where the black and drab
feathers are carefully pulled out; but the
white feathers are never pulled out, as this

Why Live OSTRICH
FEATHERS Are Never Pulled

would so damage the great sockets in which
the large quilts grow that no more would be
forthcoming, so the quilts of the white feath-
ers are carefully cut off and the quilts allowed
to remain for several months, when they
come out naturally and the new feathers
start
Therefore practically every genuine un
beached white ostrich feather does not have
a complete quill when it is shipped in the
rough. The people who prepare these feath
ers for the markets, however, remedy this
easily by adding the end of other quilts in so
clever a manner that it is scarcely dis
cernible.
Fifty years ago there were only eighty-two
tame ostriches known in all South Africa
And in that year only sixteen pounds of
feathers were exported, and they came for
the most part from wild birds brought down
by the hunters. Last year there we're about
100000 domesticated ostriches in South
Africa, nearly 100000 pounds of feathers
were exported at a value OF more than a
million and a quarter dollars.
