BONDSMEN GET A SETBACK u,
Professional bondsmen about the
morals court who have been milking
thousands every year from the mis-
fortunes of arrested girls received a
severe setback from Judge Olson yes
terday. Hints of collision between
the police and the bondsmen were
carried in his talk.
eff it is possible it would be well
to provide that defendants in morals
cases be allowed to go on their own
recognizance," said Judge Olson.
"That would do away with the pro-
fessional bondsmen.
eff that cannot be done, bonds
should be forfeited in cases in which
defendants fail to appear. 1t is not
fair to the police to allow accused
persons to be represented in court by
bondsmen." ...

Our transportation facilities are the most perfect product of this great com mercial age and the telegraph and tel ephone systems of this nation crown the industrial achievements of the whole world. These twin messengers of modern civilization. born in the skies. stand today the most faithful and efficient public servants that ever toiled for the human race.
 They are of American nativity and while warm from the mind of the in- ventive genius have, under American supervision, spun a network of wires across the earth and under the seas Telegraphy. in its early youth, mas tered the known world and the tele- phone has already conquered the earth.s surface, and now stands at the seashore ready to leap across the ocean.
 No industry in the history of tie world has ever made such rapid strides in development and usefulness. and none has ever exerted a more powerful influence upon the civilization of it's day than the Telegraph and Telephone. Their achievement demonstrates the supremacy of two distinct types of American genius-invention and organ ization.
 The industry was peculiarly fortup- ate in having powerful inventive intel leet at its source and tremendous minds to direct its organization and growth It is the most perfect fruit of the tree of American industry and when compared with it's European con temporaries, it thrills every patriotic American with pride.

 This meant Sl day increase to the machinists Ii meant S300 year the rent of a home for hi- family.
 Meals were sent to the men from the company restaurant by an under ground passage and for the dinner hour they pondered. A few minutes to o'clock they voted not to strike and sent Major Peu6eld 8 vote Of thanks
 Thus the maehinists, 70 per cent of them union men repudiated their leaders and the vote they took 70 strike They got what they wanted and they left the fight of the others to the others

S WORLDS RAREST PLANT
his Is the SiIversword, Which Grows
in Profusion on Hawaiian
Volcano Slopes.

The rarest plant in the world grows
n Hawaii, a fact which is unknown to
al but very few of the thousands Of
~i3urists annually visiting the paradise
# the Pacific. 1t is the silversword.
It's very name is odd and unusual, at
ono arousing the curiosity and the in
terest of the stranger who chances to
hear it. 1t is a cactuslise growth, the
long, silky, gray leaves of which give it
it's peculiar name. The reason for its
rarity is that it Is found only on the
most inaccessible slopes of the vol
anoes of this group of islands.
From the earliest times it has been
appreciated and greatly admired by
he native Hawalians, who called it
'ahinahina" (gray-headed), because
hey had never, before the coming of
he white man, seen silver, and there
ore could not apply to the plant the
:ognomen which so we'll describes it.
All who have found it prize it more
%iealously than do Alpine climbers
the edelweiss; it is far more
beautiful a thing and more difficult to
obtain than the famous flower of Swift.

praiseworthy, but it may be carried

Northumberland county (Pa.) farmer,
had an experience with a huge cata-
mount that almost turned his hair
gray. He was driving to the Sunbury
markets with a load of produce, and
was passing through dense woods
when he felt a heavy body land on his
wagon, followed by splitting and
"meowing" that we're hideous.
Looking back, he saw two big balls
of fire, the eyes of the largest cata-
mount he had v seen. It was paw
ing at the canvas cove he had over
his load. With a revolver, the fright
ened farmer fired twice. At the dis
charge of the weapon the cat Jumped
and escaped in the darkness. When
he arrived at the market two fat
tressed chickens were missing.

ROADS IN BETTER CONDITION
split-Log Drag Of Great Service il
Keeping Thoroughfares In Shape
-How It 10 Built,

The use of the split-log drag is i'm,
portant in putting the roads in shape
There are over 1900, 900 miles of earth
roads In the country, and the split-los
drag is of great service in keeping
them in economical repair. The drag
Is used in many states and in foreign
countries. It is used with two, three.
or four horses, and is easily con
structed.
It is a mistake to construct q heavy
drag. A dry red cedar log is the best
material for a drag. Red elm and wal.
nut when thoroughly dried are excel.
lent, and box elder, soft maple, or even
willow are preferable to oak, hickory
or ash.
The log should be seven or eight
feet long, and from ten to twelve
inches in diameter, and carefully split
down the middle. The heaviest and
best slabs should be selected for the
front. At a point on the front slab
four inches from the end that is to be
at the middle of the road locate the
center of the hole to receive a cross
stake, and % inches from the other
end Of the front slab locate the center
for another cross stake. The hole
for the middle stake will lie on a line
connecting and halfway between the
other two.
The back slab should then be placed
in a position behind the other. From
the end at the middle of the road
measure 20 inches for the center of
the cross stake, and six inches from
the other end locate the center Of the
