Why Not Use Plain Words?

1t is a fad with some men-espe-
cially half-baked schoolmasters-to
search the dictionary for obsolete or
unusual words with a view of hurting
them at the heads of harmless and
helpless people. A professor employ
ed in the government agricultural ex-
pertinent station in Nevada announces
that he is about to conduct a series
of experiments in "agronomy."
The growers of alfalfa, the cultiva-
tors of beans and those who stimulate
the growth Of onions and corn are all
agronomists, although most of them
don't know it, and if called such might
imagine themselves insulted, and
smite the scientist who thus designat.
ed them. Agronomy is but another
name for agriculture. 1t is the art OF
%cultivating the ground. Why not call
it by a name that everybody under
stands? Why go browsing through
the dictionaries for another name? II
this sort of thing is encouraged we

His Last Swimming Feat

Seattle, March. 1.-Richard Cavill,
the Australian swimmer, who was the
first man to swim the Golden Gate
and was recognized as the champion
swimmer of the world from 1895 to
1900, died of exhaustion today soon
after he had been taken out of the
water after an unsuccessful attempt
to swim across Seattle harbor, a dis
lance of three miles.
Cavill started from the west side of
the bay and was swimming toward a
pier at the foot of Spring street, on
the central waterfront. The water
was cold and a strong wind and adj
verse currents took him off his course
so that he swan fully four miles dur.
ing the hour and ten minutes he was
in the water.

As OTHERS e US

The action of the Silver Bow au.
thorities in declaring that a tea party
arranged by the suffragists in Butte
was a violation of the corrupt prac-
tees act, is the subject of sarcastic
comment by the Globe emocrat. In
discussing this incident, the St. Louis

Butte, March 2.-Prof. Clinton H.
Moore, deputy collector Of internal
revenue, has been swamped with the
tax returns of people residing in this
federal district and not only has he
received tax reports from people in
Silver Bow county and the state of
Montana, but some residents of Utah
and Idaho have mailed their tax re-
ports to the Butte Office. Just now
many people residing in this vicinity
are liable for the income tax is not
known, but it is safely estimated that
between 1000 and 5000 reports have
been filed with Professor Moore. 1t
is also estimated that the total
amount in the state of Montana on
which the government will collect tax
is about 5000, 000.

Thousands Want Work

Chicago, Feb. 2S.-One of the chief
reasons for the large number of u1..
employed here is the refusal OF the
men to go 10 work. according to Chas.
l. Smith, superintendent of the mum.
eipal employment bureau, in a retort
to the mayor to the effect that out of
BAT men assigned to jobs today and
given carfare to go to them 1919 failed
to report.
In y Of the As police precincts in
Chicago there r 1921 men out of
work, according to reports made Ivy
officers. OF these idle men, the com
nanding officers believe that about
10000 are willing to work. About r.
OOC of the unemployed are rot resi-

Glasgow, Feb. 2S.-Otto H. Boye-

the principal towns, but at all the
