WHISTLING WINNIE
BY ELSA BLODGETT.

She was something more than a
bright, pretty girl, the petted and be-
loved postmistress Of Alma Station
she was a whistler, proficient, perfect,
never to be forgotten, once heard.
To everybody she was Winnie-the
community had adopted her as daugh-
ter, sister, always friend, and Abel
Druse, who delivered the outlying
mail, hoped for her as a sweetheart.
He had never told her so, but alone
on his arduous route he had but one
vision for the future, little home and
the dearest girl in the world as his
wife.
Winnie had been always a whistler.
Even in her old eastern home before
bad luck had driven her and her old
father to seek new start in life, she
had scandaliZed the town with her
"hoydenish ways" and merry piping
calls to the birds, the stars and all sur
rounding humanity.
81 just love it out here in the great
splendid Arizona mountains, father"
she had said I can whistle here and
no one to criticize and the echoes down
the old canyon just seem to sing back
to me-"
Winnie was whistling this bright
and beautiful summer morning as she
stood behind the letter case sorting
the mail. She had happened across

and was practicing her warbling imita

With a hasty critical glance all
about him the rider, a great giant of a
fellow, wearing his sOmbrero well

crossed it swiftly and approached the
little window behind which Winnie
stood Winnie looked up swiftly. In
an instant she detected that the flow

for it had shifted half out of place.

man, and Winnie's nimble fingers Sc

arrived nearly month previous.
Thanks added the gruff, harsh
tones, and Winnie started, for care

quick for her. He was a great, power

as though she were an infant, bore her
outside, pressed his rough, burly hand
over her lips to suppress her outcry

How to elude your wife when she in
sists that you positively must wear
your rubbers when you go out:
First, tell her you positively will not
do it. This will produce in her an at
titude Of resignation, and she will al
most forgive you for not wearing them
for giving her chance to act The role
of martyr.
Second, say that you never wore
rubbers before you were married. She
will then tell you that you were al
ways sick, too, and will work herself
into a jovial glow by thinking what
good care she is taking of you.
Third, wear the rubbers to keep

The suggestion that there be ma
tional chamber Of agriculture estab-
lished will be variously received by the
interests involved. There have been
many associations of one kind or an
other formed to improve our agricul-
tural methods, some Of which are ef-
fective in special spheres. The depart
ment of agriculture Is treated as joke
by the few, yet it's services have been
such that the mass will agree that the
principle is one worthy to be extended.
This might be done by national
chamber made up Of delegates repre-
senting all sections and all classes, as
fruit, grain, vegetable, meat and seed
growers and so on. Even labor would
be looked after. The department of
agriculture can merely experiment and
advise. The chamber could often, by
combination, secure tryouts on scale
to convince doubters and lead to uni
formity which would be beneficial

SPOTTED FEVER GERM
DISCOVERED BY FR|CK

Montana officials in attendance on
the meeting at Salt Lake last week of
state and federal health officials, bring
back word that DR.. L. D. Frick of the
public health service announced that
he had discovered and segregated the
organism responsible for spotted fever.
Dr. Frick worked on it three years.
Guinea pigs were inoculated with the
organism and developed spotted fever
DR.. Frick will now bend his energies
toward discovering serum.
The organism is protozoan, the low
est form of animal life. For a long
time it was thought the disease was
caused by bacteria, which is the low
est form or vegetable life;
1t is asserted that this discovery may
lead to the segregation of the organism
responsible for other diseases which
have long baffled scientists.

COURT ACQU|TS
TWO ROMAN MEN

During the past week many of the
newspapers of the state have printed
the information that Hon. A. J.
Brewer, senator from Missoula county,
with his brother-in-law, w. S. Hol-
lingsWorth, officers of the Roman State
bank, had been arrested by the sheriff
of Lincoln county, charged with violat-
ing the state game laws by killing
more deer than the law allowed. The
Pioneer refrained from making any
mention of the fact, prefering to wait
until the case was tried before publish
ing anything in connection Herewith.
The facts in the case as developed at
the trial of Mr.. Brewer held in Libby
last Saturday, We're that neither Mr..
Brewer nor Mr.. Hollingsworth were
guilty of the charge and both were
dismissed.
The county attorney Of Lincoln coun-
ty placed four witnesses on the stand
and not one of the four connected Mr..
Brewer with the offense charged, that
of killing more than two deer while
hunting in Lincoln county during the
fall, and after hearing their testimony
a motion was made by the county at
torney that the case be dismissed. The
county attorney stated in making this
motion that he was absent from Libby
at the time the complaints We're filed
and knew nothing of the evidence ex-
cept what the witnesses had testified
to in court and wished to exonerate
Mr.. Brewer. The court allowed the
motion and dismissed the case. The
cese against Mr.. Hollingsworth was
then called and the county attorney
made a similar motion in this case and
Mr., Hollingsworth was dismissed with
out the taking of any testimony.
Thus ended the much heralded and
widely published case against Mr..
Brewer.
After the case had been dismissed
the republicans Of Libby and Lincoln
county gave dinner in honor of Mr..
Brewer to show him that his friends in
that part of the state rejoiced in his
vindication. 1t is stated that the din
ner was "some dinner"
When Mr.. Brewer was first arrested
the daily papers of the state published d
the statement that the game wardens
were going to show the senator from
Missoula county that they were vigilant
and were after violators of the game

DANCE
BY ROMAN SCHOLARS

Since the Roman Pioneer has so cour-
teousy offered to print our school notes
every week, we take this means to
reach our friends both in town and
country.
Because such a large percent of our
pupils come from the country it is nec-
essary that some form of amusement
be provided for them for the noon hour
and recess periods. In order to pro-
vide the necessary play ground and
equipment, funds must be raised.
Hence the school, the teachers and the
pupils ask the earnest cooperation and
help of the patrons and friends of the
school, both in town and country to
help raise the money to carry on the
work. We feel that this work is not
merely school affair. but rather a
community work. 1t is far-reaching
in it's benefits, since the most imper-
ative demands are for the children not
living in town.
After careful consideration of the
matter it has been decided to give
pre-Lenten dance for this purpose.
The dance will be held in the Roman
opera house on Saturday, March 4.
In order to make the affair success
both socially and financially, we ask
for your generous help and patronage.

For Higher Wages

The four large organizations of rail-
way employees, the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers, the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen, the Order of Railway Con-
ductors and the Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen, have combined in a
nationwide movement for a general
advance in wages for their members,
and other employees of the same
classes, on all the railways of the
United States and some of those in
Canada, including 100000 miles of line.
The movement involves about 3OO,-
600 men. According to the statistics
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, there were employed in the
United States in 1914, 81, 1865 engineers.
Ga, 1886 firemen, 47,621 conductors, and
1875, 1853 trainmen. The average wages
per day of these employees in 1914
showed the following increases over
those paid in 1908; Engineers, 80 per
cent; conductors, 80 per cent; firemen,
Al per cent; trainmen, AZ per cent.

SETH Low.

SETH LOW,
In England, Strengthens the view that
it is the business of a few to protect
all rather than the business of all to
protect each other.
"In no country. not even in the Unit
cd Statcs,'' he said, lis the military
spirit less dominant than in SwitZer-
land. vet Switzerland, because she was
prepared. was able to mobilize all her
men for the protection of her territory
as quickly as the most military ma
tion, and because she was prepared she
has been able to protect her territory
from violation from the outbreak of
the war until now. England's navy
has proved her bulwark against attack
at home in this as in other wars, but
it is appalling to think how many of
her men have been sacrificed in fight
ing on the land because she was unpre
pared. And now, after suffering ap
palling losses. she is obliged to resort
to conscrirtion.
'"The lesson that seems to me to lie
upon the surface of the European sit
shown herself marvelously efficient,
because. though under an autocratic
form of government. she has made her
army thoroughly democratic in the
sense that it embraces the entire man
hood of the nation. This has resulted
in spirit of loyalty to the country
and in the subordination of the indi-

to the system Of volunteer army she
has encouraged the development of
class interests as distinguished from
the spirit which unites the entire ma
ton as one man for the protection of
everything that Is vital to the British
empire.
This amazing war has brought be-
fore the eyes of the astonished world
no spectacle more amazing than that

statement in the senate during the last
session of the Legislature, that they
were not earning their money. Evi-
IDENTITY politics were ngplayed.
In this connection it may be stated
that Senator Brewer did introduce a
bill in the last legislature to abolish all
deputy game wardens and made a
speech in the senate in advocacy of the
bill. This may not have been the ami
mus of the case, but it will require
evidence to remove the suspicion that
it was.
