Missouri Valleys Big Home
Coming Week

1t had been the plan Of Mis-
souri, Valley Division No. 10 to
hold q picnic on Labor Day. A
strong committee had been ap-
pointed to make the arrange.
ments, but it was found that
the Harrison County Fair, fall
ing close to Labor Day, would
give US special inducements, so
we have decided to abandon the
Labor Day picnic and instead
take part with a number of
other organizations in q Home
Coming Week.
This "Home Coming Week"
is to be q great occasion for
Missouri Valley. From Sep.
TENDER 18th to 18th the whole
town will be given over to
merrymaking and it is expect
ed that thousands will attend
from all points in this section.
A general committee is in
charge of the celebration, hsv.
ing on it representatives of
this Brotherhood. the Machin-
ists' Helpers Union, Boiler
Makers Union, Biacksmiths'
Union and Master Car builders
Association. A special day
during the week will be set
aside for us and for some of the
other organizations and we are
going to show these good people
what the Brotherhood of all
Railway Employees can do.
We are arranging for banners,
remnants and emblems for the
parade and are trying to ar
range so we can have some
effective floats in line.
Missouri Valley No. 10 here
by invites all lodges and all
members in this part of the
country to come to our town
during this week. Come and
help US with our celebration
and we'll show you a go,d time
you'll never forget. Railway

Japan Has No Desire TO
Have Her People Go

By Baron TAKAAxI KATo. Japan
csc Ministerof Feseign Affairs
AM happy to say that, generally,
,nool;nn +bo 1.I...s,A

speaking, Ine felaClOnS between
Japan and America are very in-i
innate and satisfactory. It was only
recently that untoward incidents bee
gan to claim attention, chiefly on4
account of the California question. /
That question is not, I believe, Of
any great Importance, so far as th9
material interests involved are con-s
cerned, nor do believe that it will
lead to any REALLY SERIOUS
ISSUES BETWEEN THE TWO
NATIONS. ~
I HAVE. HOWEVER, NO DOUBT
THAT, AS THE AMERICAN ANDs

OTHER NATIONS AND OUR CANAL

NOW tnat the Tanamd Nanal mas taken ItS place
ON the map of the hemisphere, through the efforts
of the United States government, to what extent
have the other governments of the world the right
to interfere in its management
Since the most important of those governments
are for the present occupied on their side of the
globe with more vital matters they now have moth
ing to say about our arrangements for our big
ditch. 1t has been hinted however, that the status
of the canal is to be considered by the peace con-
gress which, after the nations have had enough of
fighting will meet to establish the freedom of the
seas.
Our government has promised to keep the canal
open equal terms to all the world and asks no
advice concerning the management of its property.
1t is not looking forward to of its own but in
ease there should be such war; it would no doubt,
without hesitancy, the canal advantageously for
its own warships and endeavor to exclude the vessels
of the enemy. In times of peace however, the canal
is open to the world which has big share of inter
est in it. The United States could not afford to
discriminate in admitting vessels to the waterway,
save, perhaps in giving American vessels lower toll
rates, and would not be inclined to do so.
The government which happened to have enough
of energy go ahead with the construction of the
canal carrying it toeompletion really did the work
for the benefit of all governments. If the commerce
of other countries profits by the of the Panama
Canal, the proprietor of that convenience will be
glad of it, for prosperity is always likely to be
tageous and result in added prosperity. The good
sense of our government ought to be trusted by the
Europeans to manage the waterway satisfactorily
to all long as measures of war do not interfere
with such equitable management, which it is to be
hoped is very remote possibility.
peace congress, meeting to settle differences
Of Europeans and perhaps of Asiaties would hardly
be acting wisely to take under consideration the
management of the Panama Canal, which is the
business of the United States principally When
advice is wanted from batte-scared Europe re-
gardng the peaceful operation over here of the big
ditch our government will ask for it.

Messenger Earns 81, 900

In 1885 the newspapers of the Pa
cife coast printed story of messenger
service, performed by boy yet in his
teens. that seems almost incredible. The
Western Union Telegraph Company un-
dertook to perform messenger service,
that was unique, in selecting faithful
and trustworthy messenger to take a
four-year old child from San Francisco
to London, England, which service was
carefully performed and tine child de-
livered at its destination. For this serv-
ice $1,000 was paid to cover the ex-
penses of the trip and 500 for the
messenger boys wages for one month S
time.

Message by Movie Screen

In Los Angeles, California, recently,
telegraph messenger boy was given
an urgent message to deliver in the
residence district, and when he arrived
at the house he found it apparently de-
serted. He inquired among the neigh
bors and was told that the family had
gone to certain moving picture the
atre. He Immediately went to the
show, explained to the manager that
he had an important telegram for a
party who ne knew was in the audience
and courteously requested the manager
to advise the addressee by throwing the
name on the screen. The manager be-
came very much interested in the clever
idea, promptly consented and as a re-
suit the message was Immediately de-
livered.

Mercury Acts AS Reporter

a Harrisburg newspaperman on one
occasion was awakened shortly after
midnight by messenger boy who de-
livered message from Pittsburgh
newspaper asking him TO interview a
prominent Pittsburgh man VINO was
here on his way TO New York. 1t was
an important message. but the news
paperman had been confined to his home
all evening with severe illness, and,
after phone inquiries to the hotels, he
was about to send an answer that the
man could not be found, when it occur
red to him that possibly the messenger,
who was a very bright boy, well up in
newspaper service, might get the inter
view. The lad eheerfully accepted the
mission, was given explicit instructions,
and started off. In an hour he retuFa-
ed. He had caught his man on a sleep
ing ear. in the smoking compartment; !;
asked him the questions, as directed, OBJ
tanned the information and brought it
back in hurriedly jotted down notes,
with which the newspaper man wove to-
gether into a story that obtained for
him the thanks of the newspaper he was
serving. That messenger boy was so
elated over his work that he deter
mined to be a reporter, and in time
from telegraph operator became a re-
porter on big Philadelphia newspaper,
finally its "star,' and he is at pres
ent known as one of the best newspa-

the appearance from time to time of

THE Governor from prominent Pennsyl.

within year the telegraph messenger
under twenty-one would not be seen
after dark. for under the new child
labor law it will be forbidden for the
trusty Mercury to do work under the
age OF twenty-one, both he and the
company he works for being amenable.
And yet some of the brightest boys Har-
risourg has produced performed mes,

to hold positions of prominence. and it

Mercury AS Child Nurse

In Reno, Nevada, telegraph mes.
senger boy was called every morning
for several weeks to act as nurse girl,
when an indisposed mother had him
wheel her baby around town for an
hour each day. The boy was "kidded'
numerically for a while by the other
boys and was much embarrassed, but
he finally grew to like it and didn t
want TO give the baby pushing up when
the regular nurse came back. Another
boy was called up by telephone in San
Francisco to hook up a lady's gown,
and still another was put to work wash
ing the breakfast dishes. The scope of
messenger boys usefulness is very
wide.

HUBBARD's LAST LITTLE JOURNEY

When Ebert Hubbard left New York on the Lusi-
tana his intention, he said at the time was to get
material in the war zone for future literary work.
His plan was to get his experiences and impressions
to keep them stored in his head as he slipped by
the censors on his way back, to put his thoughts
into words after his arrival in America and, of
course, then to dispose of the words at certain
figure apiece. The LuSitania went down. however
and Elbert Hubbard with it.
Although there will be much written about the
war. Fra ElbertuS, he was commonly called will
not be among the authorities There are those who
are sorry he will not be- for his work has many
admirers. His style of writing attracted readers
OF unusual things and editor of the "Philis-
tine he gave his work wide circulation. His Lit
tie Journeys to the homes of statesmen authors,
painters, musicians and other distinguished persons
who interested him are entertanngly written and
are instructive in spots. Men of letters more cap
able than Hubbard have in former days enjoyed
less popularity.
Not long ago there came into circulation through
out this country little booklets containing title
on the outside cover something like this: ''What
Know About the War, by Ebert Hubbard The
contents of the booklets consist of blank pages The
idea was only another of the many odd ones for
which Fra Elbertus has been responsible. He once
put out an essay on Silence" in the same form
One of Hubbard's merits was the enthusiasm
which he had for his work. After getting the in
spiration for founding the Roycroft business from
the projects of John Ruskin and William Morris
ne put much energy into the undertaking. The
Roycrofters, well as their location East Aurora,
New York, became familiar, to all persons whom
Hubbard was able to interest through the mails
and extract money from, as well as to many others
with whom he was not quite so successful
There is no telling what Fra Elbertus might have
had to say concerning his little journeys to the
trenches if the submarine had not interfered but
whatever it might have consisted of it would have
been novel and interesting
