ly multiplied with the volume of the
business. But the families of men
killed in explosions do not suffer. They
are cared for by the company out of a
special fund set aside for that purpose.
In these ways the company has fos-
tered loyalty ever since its founding
over hundred years ago. Employees
of du Pont are apt to stick. Descend
ants of the laborers in that first little
mill on the Brandywine, that made
powder for the war of 1872. are on the
pay rolls of the company today.
This loyalty was never more needed
than now. The company has secrets to
guard that are not its own. 1t has
organized an efficient police and detec-
been police executives in New York.
Philadelphia and Washington. There
are detectives on every floor of the
du Pont building. You no sooner step
out of the elevator than you are asked
for full account of your business. You
must establish your right to be there
beyond a doubt, or you do not stay.
The origin of du Pont employe is
more important than that of a Rich
mond society belle. When he applies
for work he is presented with print
ed slip containing questions as to who
and what his parents and grandpar-
ents were. Certain nationalities and
many individuals are excluded.
The suspected presence of spies and
the somewhat obvious presence of
cranks make these precautions neces-
sary. Not long ago high officials of
the company received threatening let
tiers. These missives assured the ex-
ecutives that the du Pont building
would be blown up on certain day.
In view of the success with which a
bomb outrage was recently perpetrated
in Washington, some qualms were felt
in Wilmington. On the appointed day
there was an explosion in the du Pont
building, followed by a sudden dis
play of official dignity dissolving into
startled agility. The panic prevailed
until the janitor succeeded in explain
ing that a bursting boiler, and not a
bomb, had made the noise.
In this connection. 1t may be OBJ

DIR. Alexander Pringle, of
Kalispell, at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday evening,
undertook to outline the good
points in all the different well
known religious denominations
and the effort was quite an
interesting and instructive re-
cital to say the least. Covering
the effect or results attained by
t b various church families
doctrinal differences were en-
tirely omitted from the topic for
consideration. federation char
acterized the attitude of the
speaker all the way through
and as Asuch is deserving of
much commendation. The use
of church affiliations for politi-
cal purposes was rOundly
denounced. Mischiexous circus
lation of insignificant, little
paper sheets, printed nowhere,
derogatory to certain creed
are too silly to be worthy of
notice, yet it is fitting for all
Protestants to publically dis
countenance such little money
making schemes calculated to
trap the small change of the
unwary. Conclusions to b G
derived from the sermon were
that all these religious move
ments supply a great need OF
mankind to check and control
human tendencies else they
could not so long survive the
severe tests of ages past.
The Presbyterian Sunday
school continues to add new
members. The Bible class now
has about thirty members en-
rolled and is still growing. Prof.
Marlow's class Of young men is
also growing steadily. The in

Caught With Contraband

Pete Mencier was a business
visitor at Shelby Thursday.
Ethridge World.
And thereby hangs tale.
Pete, a former resident of our
city, is now residing on a ranch
near Boru and it appears that
he has been earning his bread
by the sweat of the Italian la
borers in Jim Hills vineyard; in
other words, he has been calling
at their shacks during the work
hours and like the proverbial
mouse, had helped himself to
the macaroni and other delicat-
essen without as much as say
in thanks awfullyP The Tro-
jams grew tired of playing the
part of absentee hosts and one
day last week posted a sentinel
in the phone booth at Boru, not
far from the section house. 1t
was not long before Pete saun-
tered over with his crow bar
and forced an entrance. He was
in the act of lifting sundry con-
tents when the sentinel bearing
a ponderous shotgun appeared
in the doorway and commanded
Peter to stand at attention and
remain in that position while
he did a little phoning to the
sheriff at Shelby. The officer
came up on 43 and took charge
of the housebreaker. He was
tried at Shelby and fined 5000
on top of a six months Jail SEN
tence but the Judge later turned
him loose on promise of better
behavior. A number of shacks
near Boru were looted during
the past winter.

Charles B. Griffin, publicity
man and immigration agent TOR
the Great Northern. has Just
finished the pleasant task Of
sending the Great Northern
railway company's exhibit from
Glacier National park to the
Panama exposition. The ex-.
hibit consists of several carloads
of Indians, ponies, dogs, tepees
and squaws. Among the dis
tinguished members of the tribe
who will take part in the Pacif-
ic coast exposition this year is
the pale face chief with the red
name on his face, Louis w. Hill,
whose tribal name is 'Cecopotis,'
which means Big White Horse
Never Half Shot in Battle"
This is the name that was con-
ferred on Mr.. Hill when he was
formally adopted into the Black
foot tribe a few years ago. The
Indians have a fine sense of
humor, albeit a little subtle at
times, and that is no doubt the
reason they added the last two
words, in BATTLE" In addition
to this big chief, there will be
Chiefs Medicine Owl and his
.squaw Eagle Calf, Many Tail
Feathers, T aul Many White
Horses, White Calf and his
squaw. These have all left in
a private car for the coast.
Many warriors and their fami-
lies have also gone to spend the
winter in California and they
will make their headquarters at
the Glacier park exposition te-
pee at San Francisco. They
nave an appointment whereby
they are to meet the Great
White Father, President Will
son, at the exposition in San
francisco. He is to be their
guest at a big feast.

Of these has his own interests. There may be not

No human relationship suffices. Parents, hus-

tie exists today that may not be severed tomorrow
Only that man, or that woman, masters loneliness
who develops the inner resources of mind and char

The Meaning Of Hatred In War

Worse than war is the extreme hatred of one peo-
pie for another says the Boston Congregationalist
Oh pshaw that hatred thing is the soul of war and
always has been. The hatred just now cropping
out shows once more what NUTS we allow few
leading men to make of us common folks. It's the
business of the German emperors gang to make the
Germans hate the English. 1t has been the bust
ness of the English aristocrats for years to make
the English hate the Germans and forget their own
awakening democracy.
When it's all over therell be just many aristo-
Gratis on both Sides toastng each other going yacht
ing, and hunting, and gambling together, while the
supply of common folk will be some millions less.
And those that left of us will be shaving our fin
gers off to pay the price and keep the same old
gang in wine, gold lace and easy money. But,
strange to say, we German plain folks won't hate
the English as hard as we thought we did, and the
malignant animosity we English common people
hold towards the Germans now will take on much
milder flavor.

climates than in the colder ones
though it is present in a greater
or less degree in practically all
lands.
The average annual death rate
for typhoid in the United States
as a whole in recent years has
been about 45 per 100000 of
population.
And this rate is over three
times as great as that Of the
other advanced, civilized nations
of the world! And while other
nations have shown a tendency to
steadily decrease their typhoid
mortality rate, that of the United
States has actually increased.
This can only mean, then, that
the people of the United States
have not taken sufficient precau-
tions against this terrible NAL
ady. For the economic loss, the
suffering, the waste of money and
time consumed by the ravages of
typhoid cases which do not end
fatally, is appalling.
About one patient in IL or Is
