any other branch OF the service.
Beginning next Monday night ma
tional labor leaders will concentrate
all their efforts on the three Big rail-
road States Of Ohio, Indiana and Illi-
nois. II is IN these States that tho
bulk Of the Brotherhood vote Is found.
within tho borders OF these States
there are 1900 0 railroad families of
all branches OF the servlce-the prln-
cipal centres being Columbus, Gin

tho final effort the officials Of the
American Federation OF Labor will be
assisted by tho Vice Presidents and
local leaders OF the Brotherhoods.
Fifty International Presidents. includ-
ing those OF the miners, structural

lists unions will stump these States.
"A very large part OF the railroad

said George Sines, Vice President Of
the Brotherhood of Trainmen, "and I
predict that. with the assistance ~
other workers these States will be
won for President Wilson"

CLEVER FLAX THIEF

The discovery of thefts of entire
carloads of flax by some ingenious
individual, puts any of Wallingford's
stunts in the shade. It happens that
the Great Northern is the sufferer
this time. It was discovered that
seven carloads have been stolen this
fall. One of the cars was shipped by
the Harlem Milling Company about
a month ago. In order to do this trick
the individual, who signs his name
Geo. Hall, would slip into the cahoosc
when the conductor and crew were
out unloading any way freight, ana
go through the bills. When he found
one for a car of flax that was con-
signed to Duluth, he would slip in a
forged way bill, consigning the car to
Minneapolis and would destroy the
original. There he would either claim
the car himself, or have others claim
it and sell it on the market. It is
estimated that he obtained about $685.
900 worth of flax in this way.

THE FIREMAN'S DREAM"

Poets may sing Of maiden's fair,
OF valleys green and wide.
OF mossy glens and dewey lawns,
By the glistening, tossing tide.
OF mountain peaks and prairies wide,
Where the wild rose blooms 50 free,
But an engine equipped for burning
oil,
Is the fairest of all to me.
The maiden fair will break a heart
Though the valleys please the eye
Like dewey lawns and messy glens
And wild waves dashing high.
The mountains high may enchant me-
The prairies wide enthrall,
But an engine fixed for burning OIL
Will please me more than all.
The palm trees in the sunny south,
Where coral isles abound,
Is pleasing as well as the Northern
lights,
Where the walrus and seal is found
The orchids in the sunny south,
Or the humming bird fair and free
But a good oil burning engine,
Is the fairest of all to me.

ELECTRICAL CABINETS FOR Ex-
ECUTION OF ANIMALS.

ECUTION OF ANIMALS.
The Animal Rescue League Of Bos-
ton has perfected electrical apparatus
for killing animals by a method which
is humane and in other respects very
desirable in that the animals killed
endure no suffering, the operator is
placed in no danger and engages in
no brutalizing practices. The April
Popular Mechanics Magazine des-
cribes these execution cabinets, Of
which there are two, one for dogs
and the other for cats. The former,
which is the larger of the two, is
about 2e #. wide and Az #. high,
with door in front. The inside walls
of the cabinet are electrically insulat-
ed. The apparatus for dogs has a
metal floor or pan upon which the ami
NAL stands. From a metal bar above
the dogs he'd hangs a strong chain
with snap hook at the lower end.
The pan is connected with one pole
of a high-tension current and the bar
with the other pole. A metal collar

A JAPANESE PRINTING OFFICE

Japanese newspaper offices lack
that indispensable aid to rapid COM
position-the linotype machine. The
great number Of Japanese characters
there are almost ten thousand of
them-makes the typesetting ma
chine impracticable, and so the Japan
ese compositor sets type by hand.
How he does his work, under diff
culties unknown to his Western fel-
low craftsman, a correspondent of
the New York Sun tells:
Our printers deal with an alphabet
of twenty-six letters-5o, for capital
letters, small capital and plain letters
the compositor has in all seventy
eight letter boxes in a cease" of type
But the body type of Japanese
newspaper, for example, includes
nine thousand five hundred separate
characters. of which four thousand
are in constant use; so you can un-
derstand how difficult it is to "set-
up" copy in the vernacular.
No row after row of linotype ma
chimes is possible, and for compari-
son with an American composing
room you must go back to the rows
of cases mounted on frames, with 8
man in front Of each case, that met
the eye in the composing rooms Of
the American dailies twenty-five
years ago. The Japanese cases, about
twenty feet long and five feet high
are set up at sloping angle with q
four foot passageway between the
lines. The characters are in little
compartments, face outward.
In his left hand the compositol
holds his wooden "stick, "and chants
in a peculiar drone, with the air Of
a mystic, whatever he is putting in
to type. When he comes to char.
acter that is stored elsewhere, h
grunts to a small boy the name Of
the ideogram, and the boy bounds fo'
it, and comes skipping back a moment
later. To hear forty men chanting
in this drone as they march up ant
down at a lively gait before thu
cases, with boys darting in and out
like little demonsplaying tag, is t.
meet with new experience.
The man nearest me was chanting
in Japanese: "He was putting his foot
down"-hum, hum, hum-"puttine
his foot down"-hum, hum, hum. Anc
so on-all the news Of the day sci
to music. 1t. would have driven Ber
Franklin crazy; but it gives one 9
glimpse Of the Oriental patience t.
think Of adapting type to an enor'
nous diversity Of signs.

ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION

In furtherance of the idea that i'm
pelled the formers of our statutes
in this regard, and to the more firmly
fix that idea in the life of our state,
l, S. V. Stewart, as governor of the
state of Montana, do hereby designate
and set apart Tuesday, the ninth day
of May, 1915, as Arbor day.
"Of itself a tree, shrub, a vine
or flower may be an insignificant
thing, and yet it is part of the great
scheme of nature-something given
by an all wise creator to man for his
use and enjoyment and the enrich
ment of his life. Without these things
to minister to the finer side of man
existence would be drab affair in
deed ,and it is we'll for US as a people
do devote at least one day in each
year to serious contemplation Of the
Arbor day idea and its full signifi-
canoe. ...,
!"Let each of US this day perform
some act that will not only give US
large returns in satisfaction during
our lives, but will be a joy to those
of future generations. And l do fur
ther recommend that in all Of our
public schools, exercises appropriate
to the occasion be held, to the end
that the pupils may be made to
know and appreciate the full value Of
tree-planting in the beautifying the
home, public grounds and highways.
Let all Montana's citizens make Of
this an Arbor day indeed.
"In witness whereof l have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal Of the state to be affixed.

THE PRIVILEGED CLASSES

A cockney angler, thinking that his
Highland boatman was not treating
him with the respect due to his sta
ton, expostulated thus:
"Look here, my good man, you
don't seem to grasp who I am. Do
you know that my family have been
entitled to bear arms for the last two
hundred years."
"Hoots, that's naething!" was the
reply. my ancestors have been en-
titled to bare legs for the last two
thousand years."

PAPER SAVING URGED

Bulletins have been sent out by the
Department of Commerce urging the
public to save waste paper and rags
to meet the shortage of paper ma
terial in this country. They read as
follows:
"The attention of the department
of commerce is called by the president
Of a large paper manufacturing COM
pany to the fact that here is a SER
ious shortage of raw material for the
manufacture of paper, including rags
and old papers. He urges that the
department should make it known
that the collecting and saving Of rags
and old papers would greatly better
existing conditions r..' American
manufacturers.
Something like $4,000 tons of diff
! ferent kinds Of paper and paper board
are manufactured every day in the
United States and large proportion
of this, after it has served its pur-
pose, could be used over again in
some other class of paper. A large
part Of it however, is either burned
or otherwise wasted. This of course
has to be, replaced by new materials
In the early history of the paper in
dustry publicity was given to the i'm
portance of saving rags. It is of
scarcely less Importance now. The
department Of commerce is glad to
bring this matter to the attention OF
the public in the hope that practical
results may flow from it. A little at
tention to the saving of rags and old
papers will mean genuine relief to ou1
paper industry and a diminishing
drain upon our. sources of supply fol
new materials. A list of dealers in
paper stocks can be obtained from the
local chamber Of commerce or board
Of trade. p"
WILLIAM C. REDFIELD,
Secretary"
A supplementary slip gives direc.
tions as follows, on "How to Save
Waste" such as cotton and wooler
rags, old papers, including magazines
news, wrapping and cardboard:
"Keep waste material clean and
dry.
Separate rags from old papers.
Separate cotton and woolen rags
| "Separate magazines from othe]
papers.
"Tie in bundles for convenience il
handling or put in bags.
"Call in the nearest dealer in junl

CUMMINS SENTIMENT GROWING
John A. Shelton, a prominent at
torney of the State and a candidate
for delegate to the Chicago conven-
ton, who is making an active fight
for Senator A. B. Cummins of Iowa,
for the republican nomination for
president, has just completed a trip
to the larger cities Of. Montana.
He states that everywhere the en-
thusiasm for Cummins is marked
and he feels certain that he will car
ry the Montana primaries and will
have the eight delegates from this
state solidly in his favor.
"Up in Fergus county," said Mr.
Shelton, "there is Hawkeye club Of
about 800 members and they are en-
thusiastic for our Iowa candidate. In
nearly every part of Montana there
are many former residents of Iowa
and they are all for Cummins.
"The battle in this state, l think
will center between the Roosevelt and
Cummins men on the question Of de.
legates and the lines will be distinct
ly drawn. There are many enthusi-
astic admirers Of former President
Roosevelt, who believe, however, that
Cummins is the logical candidate and
they will vote for him and for the
delegates that stand for his nomina.
