Bishop Brewer
Called Home
Venerable Episcopal Bishop of Montana
Goes to His Heavenly Home

The Rt. Rev. L. r. Brewer, bishop
of the Protestant Episcopal church
died Monday evening at his Helena
home after brief illness. The ven
efable old gentleman was well
known in Malta, having conducted
services here many times in the past
'Wehty years. He was beloved by all
VINO knew him and especially among
lhe bfethren OF the church. For
years ne has labored hard to build
up the episcopal church and his ef-
Lorts have been we'll rewarded as

The death of Bishop L. r. Brewer
OF the Episcopal church brings sor-

Montana, citizens. He will be
mourned not only by the members of
MS church, but by all those who
nave learned to admire his dauntless
courage and unflagging spirit and
the gentle firmness of his soul dur
ing his years Of labor in the north

Every teacher is at least a normal
graduate and in the high school
there are two teachers with A. B,
degrees, while the third has the M.
A. degree. All the teachers have
had several years experience and
come to Malta with an enviable rec
ord for successful teaching.
1t is estimated that the enrolment

225, and there should be no surprise
of 1t amounts to 250. Judging from
the reports of applications on the
part of the country boys and girls
for places to earn their board, the
high school enrolment will be large.
one OF the significant tendencies
in educational organization today is
to eliminate the small school wher-
ever possible. and provide means for
the conveyance of pupils to central
school, where, through the concen-
trated use of the taxes better returns
for the money expended can be OBJ
tanned. Taking into consideration
this fact the school board Of the NAL
ia district has arranged for the tram
sportation of pupils from the sec
tion northwest of Malta. A school
wagon will be purchased, which will
be in charge Of Mr.. Theodore Mosted
As the territory about Malta devel-
ops there is little doubt that there
will be other wagons put into op-

GASOLINE
Extracting Plant To Be Built
At Homer By Ohio Fuel
utica Herald.)

The Ohio Fuel Supply company will
install gasoline exit acting plant at
Homer at an estimated cost of $751;
600. The engineers office of the
company, Columbus, is now working
on the estimates and plans for the
new plant.
An official OF the comp9ny stated
that the plant will be in operation in
about four or five months, as il takes
considerable time to install it. He
said its method of extracting the gas
oline from gas would be by absorp.
ton, and that very little machinery is
employed in the operation
The company has suffered consid-
erable loss in the past due to the de-
stroying agents in the gas. The
agents eat through the pipes and are
responsible for many mains bursting
The absorption plant will extract the
destroying agents without affecting
the heat unit value of the gas. Ex-
cept for eliminating the destroying
agents the new method will have no
bearing toward Gripping the heating
units in the gas.
This method of extracting the
agents, while it has been in opera
tion in West Virginia for the past
three years, yet is practically a new
invention, especially in the Ohio
fields.
The new plant will deliver its prod
uct to the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
at Utica. The official stated that the
estimates for the new plant would
probably be completed within the
next few weeks.

One FOUNDER COULD
SINK SUBMARINE
Admiral WinSIOW on VuInGTabiIlty
Of UndeTSGd Craft.

Washington. Feb. 26.-Attempts
made by Representative Britten at
hearing Of the house naval committee
to induce Admiral Cameron Winslow
TO express an opinion concerning the
arming of merchantmen ended in fail
ure. Admiral Winslow replied to all
the questions put to him on this point
by saying that although he had n
opinion on the subject he was not an
international law expert.
Albert W. Grant rad told the com
mittee that German submarines had
done their most effective work with.
in one mile of the ships they attack
cd, and even fred their torpedoes at
distance of only 1000 yards.
81 heard of an instance where the
firing was done at a distance Of 200
yards" said Admiral Winslow.
Under these conditions it would
not require large gun to sink a sub
marine, would it?" asked Representa-
tive Britten. ut would not" said the
admiral
Then any small gun, such as a
rapid-fire gun or one FOUNDER would
do?" "Yes."
Then a one FOUNDER or rapid-fre
gun would destroy a submarine as
quickly and as effectively as If the
same gun were mounted on a battle
skip, assuming the gun to be mount
ed on a merchant ship?" "a one
FOUNDER protective would seriously in
jure a submarine and might destroy
it," said the admiral st would be
certain to penetrate it."
when a merchant snip is armed
with gun of such size, is 1t not a
warship?" II am not an international
law expert, and | don't think 1t proper
for me to answer that question"
The necessity for sea training as a
qualification of naval officers was es
pecially emphasized by Admiral Wins
low in a further discussion of the de-
fects of the naval system. He pro.
posed that boys be taken at Annapo
lis at fourteen years of age, and after
two years of academic study sent to
sea for two or three years, coming
rack to complete their studies ashore.

academies. He proposes that there
shall be established somewhere on the
shores of the Great Lakes a school
fer the preliminary training of cadets
end midshipmen, that they can attend
for one year after receiving their ap-
Iointment. He is advised that the
first year of training at Annapolis and
West Point is practically identical.
The bill provides tnat after the
boys have completed a one year
course at this new institution they
shall proceed respectively to the An
napolis and West Point academies as
third class men. The secretaries Of
war and navy Jointly are constituted

years of study for a collegiate degree
under the provisions Of the army bill
which the senate military committee
will shortly recommend for passage
by congress. The aim is to provide
q sufficient reserve of officers for the

MANSFIELD
To Make The Trunks Work
On The Streets
(Mansheld News.)

1t may be alright for a mans wife
to go to the country, but men who
find their way into police court and
cannot pay their fines will remain in
town.
Acting Mayor Lowrey sent shud-
ders up the spines OF those who
love their hops not wisely but too
well Thursday when he announced
delinquent fine payers would be
turned over to the street cleaning de
partment.
The law under which men are sent
to the country roads to work can be
applied to the city streets, it is point
ed out.
Judge McCrory said this morning
he favored the plan.
Men we have had trouble with for
months are missing from police court
now because of their experiences on
road work." he said. "The city
might as we'll get some good out of
them. They are of little good to
themselves"
Acting Mayor Lowrey said he
would notify the street department
today that cell block frequenters
were to be put to work.
Several years ago the plan was
suggested but only half carried out
In other cities it has been in force
for months. Results obtained are
said to be beneficial.
1t is pointed out that dozen or
more men find their way into police
court ON an average of once a week.
They never pay their fines but re-
main in the cell block to be fed by
the city until released

Washington, Feb. 26-Rural mail
carriers in the northern and western
states are carrying an extra burden
in their trips over the snow-clad
country. Aside from the letters and
packages destined to farm houses,
there is sack of grain on each of
these mail sleighs, and each precious
kernel is destined for game birds who
have been suffering for want of food,
on account Of the heavy SHOWS. State
organizations are cooperating with
the government officials, and all that
was needed to bring relief was the
sanction of the postoffice department.
This was promptly given, and the
carriers who travel the snow routes
are carrying out the distribution OF
food to the birds.

EARLY CARE
Should Be Given To Prun-
ing of Ornamental Trees

Washington, D. c., Feb. ga lit
tie early care was given to the prun.
ing of ornamental trees and shrubs
during the early part OF March will
do much to control their growing and
Towering habits, and enable the
home owner to have well-formed
plants and well-trained hedges or
boundary paintings. The pruning of
ornamental trees and shrubs is, in
fact, one of the first duties that may
profitably be performed in the home
garden. The amateur, however,
should not make a ruthless assault
with shears or pruning knife upon
everything in his yard. FloweIing
trees and shrubs that bloom in the
spring or early summer should not
receive radical pruning at this time,
according to the garden specialists
of the United States department of
agriculture. OF course, if on these
plants there are dead or weak
branches, these should be taken out,
and any crossing limbs that are rub
bing and seriously interfering with
the growth of the bush should be re-
moved. The tips of the limbs, how
ever, should not be cut off nor should
any young wood that does not inter
fere with the growth of the bush be
removed. 1t must be borne in mind
| that the blossom buds for this years
Towering were formed last year, and
every root removed takes off that
much Of the prospective blossoms.
Trees and shrubs that bear their
flowers in midsummer and which
were not pruned in the fall may be
pruned at this time. Plants of this
sort are the Rose of Sharon and the
shrubby hydrangea. Where the larg-
est possible mass effect is desired,
these plants should be pruned but lit
tie. If the aim is to secure the larg-
est possible trusses or blossom heads,
! last years growth should be pruned
back to two or three eyes to a stem.
Such severe pruning, however. is not
conducive to the most attractive de-
velopment of shrubs.
Climbing roses should not be
removal of surplus or interfering
branches. Every bit of wood re-
moved now reduces the amount of
( bloom the plant will bear during the
coming season. Roses used in bor-
der planting should be treated in eX-
actly the same way as other shrubs,
except that many of these species
will be improved by having all their
! old wood cut away once in every five
or six years. This would mean cut
ting all the old canes off within three
or four inches of the ground and fore
ing the bush to throw up entirely new
wood.
Roses used for cut flowers, like the
hybrid perpetuals, the hybrid teas,
and teas, should be severely pruned
The hybrid perpetuals may be cut as
soon as freezing weather is past
Pruning of the hybrid teas and teas,
however, should be left until the
young growth has started. In both
cases the plant should be cut to with
in six inches or one foot of the
ground. Four or six eyes to stem
is about the proper amount of wood

And Removed Rooms As Guar

Answer And Cross Petition In
A Case Is Filed
Answer And Cross Petition In
A Case Is Filed

A few days ago an application was
made in probate court to remove Will
liam M. Rooms as guardian of Henry
Eggleston, an insane person. On
Thursday afternoon an affidavit in
prejudice was filed by William Nj.
Rooms in probate against Judge Will
kins. In his petition Mr.. Rooms
charged that Judge wilkins has a
bias and prejudice against the said
William NJ. Koons during the past
few months. He further alleged that
the court engaged in heated and an
cry words towards the afiiant and ex-
pressed an opinion as to the merits
of the matter without knowing the
facts, and without knowing the tes-
timony in the case. He further al
leges that the said Judge Wilkins has
maintained revengeful disposition
towards the affiant.
Along with the affidavit in preju-
dice, Mr.. Rooms filed an application
asking for a continuance of the mat
ter relative to the removal of the
guardian.
Judge Wilkins late Thursday after
noon overruled the application for II
continuance of the case and dismiss
ed the affidavit in prejudice. In pass
ing on the matter, Judge Wilkins held
that Mr.. Rooms was guilty of neglect
in attempting to carry out the duties
as the guardian. The court held that
the guardian has neglected, as pro.
vided by law, to pay the board OF
charities of Ohio certain sum OF
money to be applied towards the sup
port of his ward, now in the state
hospital, Columbus. The court fur
ther held that the guardian has failed
and neglected to invest the funds of
ward that came into his hands. The
court therefore removed Mr.. Rooms
as the guardian of Henry Eggleston,
and Paul M. Ashbaugh was appointed,
giving bond in the sum of $500 in a
surety company.
