Tickle the Editor" An ex-
change explains its workings
thusly: You take an ordinary
sheet of writing paper on which
you pen a few lines suitable for
the occasion. Next you fold it
carefully. enclosing in the fold a
check or a postoffice order suf-
ficiently large for all arrearages
and also for year or more in ad-

Keep an eye on him, and if a

works fine. 1t can also be played
by mail. Now is the time to play

the launching,
Though the Texas was the heavi-
est %battleship ever launched in, the
United States. the officials Of the To-
cal yard used the trigger system Of
releasing her, which was imported
from England by Joseph B. Weavlr.
This system consisted of two big
ateel triggers In the sideways, amid.
ships. They held the ship on the
ways by means of hydraulic pressure
and when the ship was ready to be
launched the pressure was released.
This system worked satisfactorily
and has been used at practically ev-
cry launching at the local yard since
that time. So successful was it that
the government used it in launching
the Texas sister ship, the New York,
at the New York navy yard.
In the construction of the huh of
the Texas on the launching ways a
new record for quick building of war
ships in the United States was made,
the vessel being go per cent com.

Proposed Route will Open Up
and Develop q Fine Strip
Of Country

Miles City, Mont, March 12.-The
size of the job of building. the Vel
loWstone trail, extending as it does,
1850 miles from the twin cities in
the east to the Yellowstone National
park, Is sometimes underestimate.
1t is really an undertaking that is
stupendous, when one remembers
that it has no capital stock in cash.
But it has something better. 1t has
a capital stock of interest and or.
ganiZation along the entire length,
and this makes it possible, and the
work proceeds, so long as this stock
holds out. That is why it is so nee
essary to hold the interest at tor
pitch. That is why il. is important for
the people of Minnesota to know that
Montana is doing on the trail and
for Montana to know what Minneso
ia is doing.
Travelling Representative G. S
Remission is in Montana this week,
and reports, from there are to the
effect that he is meeting with the
utmost enthusiasm in his work OF
s%olidifying the trail into a unit. He
is at Miles City and. Billings and
Livingston this week, and will work
from there east across the state. Mr..
Remission enjoys the utmost conf.
dence of the officers and boosters OF
the association, and the association
asks the cooperation of all in CIV
ing him a helping hand in his hard
undertaking.
Let it be remembered that the Off
GERS of the YeNowstone,4Tsan asso.
citation have designated May % to be
trail day throughout the entire length
of the trail. On that day all are ask
ed to make special preparations to
have work done on the trail and in
many localities this will be done in
the old-fashioned, but very effective
"bee" plan. Get ready for trail day.
Secretary Peterson of the associa-
ton sends word that Commissioner
Kerston of Corson county has mott
fed him that $4,000 will be used by
Corson county on the trail work this
year in that county. When we re-
member that Corson county has 80
miles of trail, that a large portion OF
the county is taken up by non-taxable
Indian lands, and that it is n OF
the new and spafsely settled coun'
ties, it ought to make the rest of us
sit up and take notice and feel like
we are really not doing much.
Flatreed township in Adams coun-
ty, North Dakota, has promised 10
build the 4 "a miles of trail across
their county by June and have 1t in
as good shape as any part OF the
trail. They are going to have a trail

President Parmley Of the Trail as
ISOLATION and j. W. Harris OF Mo-
bridge plan to mark the trail across
Corson county as soon as weather
will permit. The Importance OF
marking the. trail so that it cannot
be lost by travellers cannot be over
estimated. The otncers strongly urge
every locality to see that their trail
is we'll marked. Without marks, no
matter how good the road is, the
tourists are always uncomfortably at
sea about where they are, and it en-
tirely kills the joy of travel. The
Aberdeen party which went to Min
neapolis last fall proved this, as
they got lost and fell behind their
schedule. Get the trail marked.
