came red, purple, violet and black

fustic yellow.
The skill Of the chemists eventually
made obsolete these vegetables dyes.
The Germans made synthetic indigo
that was cheaper and better than the
older product Coal-tar dyes were
rapidly developed. The aniline series,
the phenol series, etc, now yield nearly
every known color In cottons and
some other fabrics various shades are
obtained through the skillful use Of
mordants, substances which have an af-
finity for colors and which may be
placed in an insoluble condition on or
among the fibers.
The Germans have led the world in
the manufacture of chemical dyes, a
fact-which has lately caused a good deal
Of inconvenience to neutral manufac-
turers American chemists could make
these dyes, but most of them hesitate
to do SO on a large scale, fearing that
they would not be able to meet German
competition when the war is over. It
is possible that some of our textile pro-
ducers have been forced to return tenn
porarily to vegetable dyes. A strong
protective tariff would enable our chem
lists to place the chemical dye industry
on permanent footing in this country.

TALKS ON BANKING
GETTING YOUR MONEY OUT OF
THE BANK


If the bank rendered, no other ser
vice to the community than to protect
it's valuables it would render a useful
one, but it would be mouse-trap pro-
position, you could only go one way;
but the bank makes it easier to get
money out than in, and in the out
going process assumes risks and rend-
ers benefits too often lost sight of in
the busy whirl of business.
We take many things for granted
and live in a matter of-fact age We
want our morning paper at the break
fast table with never a delay and with
little thought of what it costs to col
lect, transmit, type, print and deliver
the news. We want our train on the
dot or we get impatient. We want
our milk and our coal, blizzard or no

to do our business smoothly, efficient

or the risks attending.

three things, all for your own pro-

only in the sum originally drawn. If
some one gets your check and raises
the amount making it apparently a
genuine check, the bank can only
charge the amount in which you orig
inally drew the check, unless it can
show you were grossly careless in so
drawing that you invited fraud. There

you are harmless.
All this is ultimately for your good

EDUCATION FOR FOREST PRES
ERVATION

1t is apparent, from pictures which
have come from Europe of the scenes
of great battles, that modern wars de-
struction is not confined to human life,
ancient cathedrals and historic towns
and cities; for forests which have been
centuries in their growth have been
ruthlessly swept away. Trees, in wide
areas which have braved the elements
for millennium have been shattered
or blasted by the high explosive shells
of modern warfare. And, such are the
slow but certain processes of nature,
damage caused in single day, or even
hour, will be another thousand years in
the mending.
The practically irreparable damage to
the magnificent forests of the Old
World is by no means alone matter of
sentiment; for climatic and economic
results Of the devastation cannot be.
estimated. History proclaims the truth
that when mountainous or semi-moun-
tainous country loses it's forests, the
era Of decadence begins. It was only
after the forests of Mesopotamia were
destroyed that the great and populous
cities Of the Plain were buried deep
under the desert sands. And only when
natures wise balance is restored will
the wastes now covering ancient Baby
Ion and Nineveh be transformed into
Veritable Garden of Eden.
The lesson Of the great war, in this
should not be lost upon this country.
That our forest estate has been endan-
gered by wasteful and unscientlfic lum-
bering, and is also now threatened by
some of the insect pests and floral dis
eases imported from. Europe, cannot be
gainsaid. It is not necessary to go be-
yond the borders of the Empire State to
realize this truth. Unless better meth
DDS of numbering come to prevail, and
the increasing inroads Of tree pests are
checked, many heretofore fertile valleys
will ultimately share in a measure the
fate of Mesopotamia.
There is, though, a silver lining to the
cloud. In New York state, notably,
educational measures have been taken
and are contemplated to the end not
only of preserving in rational way and
restoring the forest growth, but COM
batting the introduction and spread Of
insect enemies and destructive plant
and tree diseases. Through the activi-
ties Of the State College of Forestry at
Syracuse, acting in conjunction with
the State Conservation Commission, the
Federal Department of Agriculture, the
State Forestry Association, and other
agencies, including the important agri-
cultural schools, comprehensive sys-
tenn of popular education in forestry
has been inaugurated. When that sys-
TEN has been exploited in terms within
the comprehension of the lads in the
forms Of the "little red schoolhouse,
potential army will have been mobil-
lied for, the protection and perpetual
ton of the forest growth, and upon
which, in the view of most thoughtful
men, the welfare of future generations
largely depends.

CRUCIFYING ARIZONA WOMAN
HOOD
HOOD

Woman's right to vote will be eXer-
cised in Arizona this year as never be-
fore. The woman s vote will represent
: potential elective force. II arrayed
solidly for or against any candidate or
candidates, it may well constitute the
balance Of power. If the women of Ari-
zona accept their suffrage responsible
tiles fully, their influence will be Of
tremendous import.
It is therefore essential that every
woman voter inform herself thoroughly
concerning the merits of candidates and
the desirability Of issues. One of their
own sex, appearing under the auspices
of one Of Arizona s gubernatorial can
didates, just made tour of the State
in the interests of the cause which that
candidates espouses. This campaign
er's name is Mother" Jones. She is
known from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
from the Lakes to the Gulf, It is the
duty of the women of Arizona to inform
themselves concerning this spokeswo-
man of Gov. Hunt, one of Arizona's
gubernatorial candidates. Remember,
she is his ip-servant and what she says
he evidently endorses, having arranged
for her tour. Such teachings as are
contained in this ip-service are either
good or bad. Let the mothers and wives
and daughters in Arizona decide under
which heading they come. "Mother"
Jones spoke in Phoenix and while
pleading for support for the candidate
who stands sponsor for her, she said
among other utterances:
"THE MINISTER'S IN COLORA-
Do TOLD THE WOMEN TO VOTE
FOR JESUS AND THEY GOT 1T IN
THE NECK" +"
"THEY SAY 1 AM PROFANE. I
AM NOT WORKING FOR JESUS
BUT FOR PROSPERITY"
>"CATS AND PARASITES OF THE
WOMAN'S CLUBS AND THE TEN
PERANCE BRIGADE!s WE DON'T
WANT EN- YOWLING FOR U.s."
OWE DON'T WANT SUNDAY
SCHOOLS. WE'VE HAD ENOUGH
OF THEM WE WANT TO FIGHT"
Perhaps, Women of Arizona, it is
unwise to "work for Jesus" You
ought to know.
Perhaps, Women of Arizona, you too,
will get it in the neck if you "vote for
Jesus" so ponder well before you cast
your ballot.
You "cats and parasites of the wo-
mems clubs, y and you earnest workers
votes are not wanted Jones and her
candidate don't want you "yowling"
for them.
All the mothers and wives and
daughters in Arizona who would Danish
the Sunday schools from Arizona, stand.
up and be counted! Place yourself on
record as having had enough of them"
Surely, if the time has come when
it is desirable for the women\of Arizona
to cease to "work for Jesus it is also
high time that mothers stop teaching
their children to lisp, "Now lay me-
and "Ave Maria" Bring up the boys
and girls in Arizona without knowledge
of the sufferings of Christ or the an
guish Of Mary of Magdalene Man
hood and womanhood in Arizona may
or not benefit vastly thereby. The
women of Arizona know best.
Might it not be we'll to stage another
Gethsemane in Arizona and celebrate
the agony and crucifixion of Arizona
womanhood?
Jones and her candidate please serve
as a committee on arrangements!

a public hearing on the complaint and
answer, and notices thereof sent to
both parties.
Under date Of June 5, 1915, COM
plainant's attorney wrote the commits
sion that the notice had not been pub
lished and said:
Now, Brother Gould and myself
have agreed, and he will gladly con-
firm this, that with your consent we
wish the hearing delayed somewhat
and for that reason the notice was
not printed. Brother Gould suggests
that we leave the matter open for the
present, and then a little later decide
with you when a hearing shall be,
ETC."
I'VE replied to this letter on June
10th, saying that, If it were not, in
our Judgment. too late to give proper
notice, we would insist upon the hear
ing be held upon the 10th. From this
time until April is, 1916, neither party
has expressed a desire for an assign
ment, and the commission, desiring to
clear up its docket, then arbitrarily
named May 2. 1916, and sent notices
to the parties.
THE complainants' counsel writes
under date of April "a, 1916. that by
reason of the fact that this matter
has covered a long period of time, so
that the petitioners have spread far
and wide and are not available. the
compliments in the above matter
hereby request your honorable COM
mission that they allow this complaint
to be withdra wn. and that a record of
the same be made. This request is
based upon the assumption of the at
torney for the Bangor & Aroostook
Railroad Company that he will make
no objection to disposing of this mat
ter in this form.
Drawn out by this letter and on
the same date. counsel, for the Ban
gor & Aroostook Railroad Company
wrote that the operating officials of
the company, including the president
and general manager, felt that injus-
tice had been done the company. by
the wide publicity given the charges.
continuing:
."They feel that the charges were
entirely unfounded and unjust and
would like to have an opportunity to
show the actual facts to the commits
sion.
"Of course we realize that the COM
mission has no desire to hear matters
about which there is no contest, and
if the commission feels that it ought
not to hear the railroad company in
the matter, we will cheerfully &C
quiesce.
The commission has this day taken
all these matters under consideration
and has concluded that no public good
can be served by permitting the re-
spondent to disprove charges which
are not supported by scintilla OF
evidence before the commission, and
concerning which no reason has been
offered, or appears, to demand that an
investigation be prosecuted on its own
molten.
1--WE have made the foregoing state
ment with considerable fulness on &C
count Of the wide interest in the af-
fairs which, in part at least, caused
the filing Of this complaint, and the
feeling that the reason given for its
Withdrawal might be construed as i'm
plying that the compliments had been
deprived of their rights by delay on
the part of this commission"

purposes:
To pay The outstanding short time

this it is thought desirable at the pres
