Their minds slipped and they fell into

impression on them. Thus: Schlap-

them to do it by compelling Amer

"CALL ME LoUIE."-'I want you
to call me Louie, and not Mr.. Hill"
That was the pleasing phrase Louis
James Hill handed out to his en-
ployes soon after his fathers death.
Now the same Louie, whom has been
very liberal with pat-yOu-on-the-
shoulder phrases, comes out entirely
opposed to decent working hours for
his men. He is quoted as saying
that if the other roads concede to
the demands of the men his railroad
alone shall oppose it by stopping OPP
Grafton of the lines.
Well, Louie, let me give you a tip;
you never ran those roads and you
cannot stop them from running. The
engineers, the firemen, the. freight
handlers and other pieces of human
ity that toll are the ones who keep
the trains going, not you. -.

Put up at Minneapolis.

Minneapolis. - Poultry enthusiasts
OF the Northwest are looking forward
to the annual exhibition of the Mime
sofa State Poultry association in Min
neapolis January to 9, with anticipa-
ton that it will surpass all previous
shows in quality. The reason for their
belief is that the smaller shows which
have been held in Minnesota, the Da-
kotas, Iowa and Wisconsin in the last
month have been notable for their
quality.
Another source of interest this year
will be the number of new exhibitors.
Several men and omen who have for
many years in Secession taken first
prizes at the Minnesota show will not
be in evidence this year. Newcomers
with high class stock will be in their
places and their show birds will infuse
q livelier interest because there win
be less certainty of the outcome.
To Bring Out New Breeds.
Poultry fanciers look to the annual
show to bring out new breeds and
several new ones are Scheduleo TO
make their debut at the coming exhibit
tion. The red and speckled Sussex
birds which C. J. Baker of Robbinsdale
will bring forward will be given the
''once over" by show visitors. These
birds are said to be noted for their
beauty as well as their domestic vir-
tues.
The show directors have been asked
to make place also for the entrance
of Rhode Island Whites. Their family
name has not hitherto appeared in the
Minnesota show catalogue, but it will
this year.
