THE POOR PRINTER.

Practically all lines Of industry in
this country have suffered as q re-
suit of the war in Europe, due to the
shutting off materials used in the
manufacture of articles made in this
country. The shortage of raw ma
terial and other essentials has caused
prices on many commodities to ad-
vance and in many cases, they have
doubled since the war began Prob
ably no branch of industry has been
harder hit than the printing trade.
Prices on paper have almost "gone
ont of sight" and the prices on inks,
especially the colored, have doubled
and trebled in price.
Paper has advanced in price 80
per cent and the market is in a con-
ditlon akin to a panic. The prediction
is that it may double in price before
the end of the year.
TIE shutting off of the Canadian
aAl Swedish pulp, the scarcity of all
kinds of chemicals used in it's manu-
facture and the loss of the German
market for dyes of all kinds has al
ready caused famine in the pape,
trade and the end is not yet.
Beaches used in the manufacture
of paper have jumped from $50 tc
$500 per ton. The failure of the
linen rag supply from Russia, the
prohibition Of the export of rags from
France and the cutting off of tn,
supply from Egypt and the far eas,
has doubled the cost of raw materia
to the paper mills.
When the printer buys his inks, es
pecially colored inks, he is informe,
! that the stock of aniine dyes ha

Who would have thought that the
tin can is a menace to the public
health? The expert malaria inves-
tigators of the United States public
health service have found, however,
that discarded tin cans containing
rain water are breeding places for
the mosquito which is the sole agent
in spreading malaria. A hole in the
bottom of the empty can might have
resulted in the saving of a human
life. Certainly it would have assist.
ed in preventing a debilitating i'll
ness. Empty tin cans have no bust
ness about the premises anyway, but
if we must so decorate our bach
yards, let's see to it that the can has
a hole in the bottom.

A GREAT RECORD.

The fact that the Great Northern
railroad will expend about $4,000 in
improving their yards and buildings
here. and the Minot Milling company
erecting a 2OO-barrel flour mill at a
cost of $4,000, besides many other
improvements which have come to
Glasgow during the past two years,
is not only a proof of the develop
ment of Glasgow but especially of
great satisfaction to every member
of the Glasgow Commercial club who
have Loyalty supported it. both by de-
votion of time and also contributed to
the Financial support of the organi-
zation.
Through the conscientious
work and integrity of the Of
ficers and the cooperation of every
member, this work has been accom-
plished and even more has been done
that was first considered impossible
in so short time.
Shortly after Secretary Moore az
rived in Glasgow, he stated to the
writer that Glasgow should be the
jobbing center of northern Montana
and the reliability of his contention
is shown by the fact that the Capt.
tai Commission company and the
Gamble Robinson company have es-
tablished offices here and there is
every prospect of a grocery and hard
ware concern both establishing
branch offices here during the COM
ing summer.

ALL ELSE OVERSHADOWED.

Detailed returns from the recent
Indiana primary reveal the extent to
which progressives are returning to
the republican ranks, says the Bill
lings Gazette. In 1914, Wayne
county. which was rated the banner
progressive county Of the whole
country, cast only 3,O75 republican
votes, but in the primary March Z,
the republican vote was 4,7O2.
And in the state as whole, where
as the progressive vote in 1912 was
1862, 2,Oo7 and in 1914, 1O7,O27, in the
recent primary election it was less
than 5000, the heaviest vote polled
for any candidate being 1857, as
against 176.17S cast for Fairbanks,
candidate for president.
In Indiana, as everywhere else
the land, the progressives
realize that il is their patriotic duty
as citizens to rejoin the republican
party and do their share to insure
the defeat of the party that has
proved itself so woefully incompe-
tent to administer the affairs of

a change overshadows all other con-

CLEAN SWEEP IN SIGHT.

All shrewd political observers have
been confident these many months
now that republican president and
a republican house of representatives
will result from the coming election,
but there has been grave doubts in
many quarters whether, despite the
disrepute into which the democratic
party has fallen, the republicans
would recapture control of the SEN
ate by obtaining a majority on the
floor and not counting the deciding
vote of the vice president.
However, the recent death Of Sem
ator Shively of Indiana, coupled with
the appointment of Tom Taggart as
his successor, creates situation
much more favorable to republican
prospects of controlling the next SEN
ate. There are two seats from In
diana to be fought for this fall and
it is admitted by the democrats that
both are likely to be won by repub-
licans.
The democratic majority in the
senate now stands as sixteen and the
republican party to gain control must
win nine seats. Aside from Indiana,
which promises to return two, there
is very little question that republican
senator's will be elected in Montana,
Maine, New York, New Jersey, Ohio,
West Virginia and Missouri, which
would give the republican party con-
troll. Nebraska and Nevada will also
hold senatorial elections this year
and in those two states the republi-
cans have more than fighting
chance for victory.
1t seems hardly probably, IN view
of the reunited and aggressive front
which the republican party now pre-
sents and the nation wide dissatisfac-
ton with the present administration,
that any seats now held by republi-
cans will be lost, for in 1914, before
the full consequence of democratic in
competence and folly had come home
to the people. only three seats in the
senate We're lost by the republicans.
As the situation stands the repub-
lican party has every reason to go
into the fight looking forward to
electing not only a republican presi-
dent, vice president and house, but a
republican senate as we'll The vot-
ing public of the nation is in the mood
to make clean sweep.-Billing Ga

The entertainment and dance given
by the local review of Maccabees at
the Gibson opera house Friday night
was a great success.
The hall had been artistically dec
grated in the lodge colors by crepe
paper streamers suspended from the
ceiling and the walls of the hall were
covered with banners and insignias
of the order. The work of decorat-
ing had been done by Messrs. Lester
Weldy and Charles Cameron, and
they were deserving Of the many COM
pliments which were paid them on
their labor.
A fine program had been arranged
and Miss Florence Crawford sang two
solos, which were we'll received and
Miss Pearl Chouinard Of Baylor gave
two fine piano selections. Mrs. Ger
trude II. Preston, organizer for Mon
tana and Idaho then gave a highly in
teresting talk on the benefits of the
order.
At 8 o'clock the dancing began
and a good time was enjoyed by ev-
ervone present. At midnight the
ladies of the Altar society served
lunch.
The Great Falls drill team were
unable to be present, due to the i'll

All of which seems bad enough to
the disciples of Caxton and Ben
Franklin, but the worst is yet to
come. In every other line of trade
and industry when prices rise, the
merchant and manufacturer calmly
pass on the increased cost to that pa
tient, long suffering individual,
known as the ultimate consumer.
The poor printer stands helpless
and hopeless in the face of his in

cannot increase the price of his sub

ing him probably 20 per cent more to
turn out the same job than it did a

CASTLE GREENHOUSE.
VIM. Rowland Tapscott Has Success
full Business in Dallas.


One of Dallas enterprising citi-
zens, on whose endeavor quite few
farmers and amateur gardeners have
depended, is VIM. R. Tapscott, manager
of the Castle greenhouse. Last spring
he supplied Dallas and vicinity with
tomatoe and cabbage plants. The
representative of The Observer who
called on Mr.. Tapscott found him
working in a patch of very fine toma-
toes and was told by the gardener
how he had been successful in grow
ing tomato strain which bears fruit
earlier than any time grown here.
The work of the florist and garden
er is often little appreciated. As a
rule it takes years to improve the
qualities of vegetables and flowers.
Mr.. Tapscott has nice, growing
business. Besides the specialties al
ready mentioned he raises celery,
caulihower and kale. Cucumbers, to-
matoes and lettuce are grown In
greenhouses for home consumption,
Flowering plants for porch boxes
and bedding plants are also supplied.
A new line just taken up too is the
raising Of carnation plants and flow
ers. Prunes, peaches and loganber-
ries are supplied from the grounds.
The specialties of the Castle green
houses are handled in season by Con-
rad Stafrin IS drug store. Large grow
ers are invited to place their con.
tracts for vegetable plants early in
the season.
