ton, of almost equal Importance is
the situation presented by ,ranspor,a-
ton difficulties.
These difficulties were not recop
nl1ed as constituting major problem
until the present winter, when the

ALL TRUSTS BAD,
j. S. PLEADS IN
HARVESTER CASE
Government Files Brief In
Federal Suit,

WASHINGTON. Feb 1.-THE gov
ernment today filed its brief in the su-
p-cme court in the dissolution suit
against the International Harvester
company, It's officers and directors. ap-
,pealed from the federal court in Mime
sea. which ordered the dissolution Of
the company.
No Good Trusts.
There is no such thing az a good
or benevolent trust within the mean
ing OF the Sherman law, the govern
meut contends, and all combinations
which break down the competitive sys-
TEN are in restraint OF trade. The
brief asserts that to the congress which
enacted the antitrust law, the mere eJ-
istcnce OF such powerful combinations
was an eyil-a continuing danger
from which in the long run, IL not i'm
nredia,ely, would cause disaster.
For, as in the organization OF the
government, benevolenoe can never JUS
tiiy absolution. neither can il do so
IN the organization OF industry"
Competitive Plea Denied.

midable competitors with combined
,lpital OF S9l.000,O0 afforded brisk
competition is reviewed in detail The
competition, the briei states. of all
other companies combined, lef, the de-
f,hdan,s in possession of approximate

Printing LinoIeum,

LinOleums are printed by means Of
a series of blocks, block being neces-
sary for every color that is shown in
the finished pattern. The printing
machine contains devices for keeping
the blocks wet with liquid color as the
goods pass beneath them. 1t also has
long table on which the linoleum
moves forward little bit at time,
getting new color at each step. AZ
ter printing, the goods are again hung
up In warm room to set the colors.
Then they are ready for market. In
cutting the blocks for printing lin
oleums, which is very complicated
process, every line and dot is worked
out separately by electric machinery
guided by hand. The simplest design
of three or four colors involves the
cutting out Of thousands of distinct
printing surfaces.

Pullman Washrooms.

Pullman washrooms are the only
places there are where 1t is possible
to brush your teeth and comb your
hair at the same time you are pulling
on your shoes. In the confusion of
hastily dressing in a crowded Pull
man washrOom one very often is ex-
asperated to find that he has spent
five minutes lathering someone else's
beard. Then again 1t is startling to
discover that You seem to have grown
bald over night. And to haye the fat
man whose head you were brushing
dig the soap out of your ear with no
gentle thumb. A Pullman washroom
Is excellent in many ways and If you
hold grudge against n man persuade
him to dress and wash with you in
the same Pullman washroom. You
will find it easy to batter and bruise
him horribly, though you may have
to take an awful beating yourself.
Never cross your legs while seated In
Pullman washroom. You may kick
someone in the face.-Detroit Journal.

LOYALTY TO THE FLAG

That patriotic maxim "Our coun-
or wrong our country" should be up
permost in the heart of every loyal
citizen at the present time, be they
of native or foreign birth, to stand
by the government.
We are now drawn into the war by
overt acts of foreign nations. Our
ships, as well as those Of every neu
tral nation, are being daily torpedoed
and sunk by the enemy and our
men. women and children forced to
seek watery graves. Congress and
the president have seen fit to take
umbrage at this wholesale destruction
Of life and property, and have de-
clared that state of war. exists be-
tween this country and Germany.
AS long as this conflict was con-
fined to foreign lands. the naturally
ed citizen as well as those of native
bir.h had perfect right to espouse
their side of the conflict, but now
as Ameri:a has entered the war,
there can be but two sides. the one
loyalty to our country and it's flag,
the o;her disloyalty and treachery.
The adopted citizen who displays his
loyalty in behalf of his new found
country ard its flag. is to be priced
above rubies, while the native bern
who sympathizes with the country
with whcm we are new at war, is
unworthy of American citizenship.
Since the declaration of war. all
the great and powerful men Of the
nation, have buried political beliefs
and strife and with one accord rallied
to the one standard, loyalty to the
country, to congress, and the presi-
dent who will guide us in safety over
these rough and rugged roads.

MANY cREEDs IN ONE CHURCH
Big Problem Solved In One Town
Where Eighteen Denominations
Worship Together.

A federated church, in which 18 de-
nominations are worshiping harmoni-
ously, seems to be solving the small
town problem in Atascadero, San Luis
ObispO county, California. In other
places a federated church means the
uniting of bodies already organized
while here the plan came in response
to the popular wish of the people that
there be, from the beginning, but one
church. Atascadero, it should be said,
is colony. ten miles long and seven
miles wide, founded q few years ago
by e. G. Lewis.
The church was organized in July.
1915, by the pastor, DR.. Edward A.
Berry, a brother Of Bishop F. Berry
Of the Methodist church. Doctor
Berry made a systematic campaign Of
the cOlonists and found but one who
opposed the idea. When the book
of the church was opened for sigma
lures, 120 members were enrolled. In
less than year the membership went
to $50.
The following denominations are rep
resented: Baptist, Congregational,

When Strength Begins to Go.

A medical authority states that the
muscles, in common with all organs
of the human body, have their periods
Of development and decline, our phys
ical strength increasing up to a GER
tain age and then decreasing. Tests
of the strength of several thousand
individuals have been made, and the
following figures are given as the
averages derived from such tests
the lifting power of youth aged
seventeen years is 23O pounds; in
his twentieth year this increases to
800 pounds; and in the thirtieth and
thirty-first 4 year. respectively. it
reaches its height. 1856 pounds. At the
expiration Of the thirty-flrst year the
strength begins to decline, very grad
ually at first. By the fortieth year
it has decreased eight pounds. and
such diminution continues at a slight
ly increasing rate until the fiftieth
year is reached, when the figure Is
33O pounds. Subsequent to this Pc
riod the strength falls more and more
rapidly until the weakness of old age
is reached. 1t Is found impossible to
obtain trustworthy statistics after the
fiftieth year.
