STREET CAR WORK
Motormen and Conductors Find It Attractive

Any street railway tranman will tell you that
there is something fascinating about street work.
His explanation may be that it broadens man g
perence; that it offers fine field for advancement;
or that the pay is goods or that the situations
constantly arising give it variety and interest What
the explanation, and it may lie in combination
of these and other reasons the fact is undoubted There
is added attraction in street work to the young
who has spent most Of his life the farm in
the small town, because it offers him chance to
Joy the busy life Of big city under the most favor
able conditions.
Throughout the United States the street railway
system Of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. popularity known
"Twin City Lines,' is considered one Of the most
progressive and up-to-date street railway systems in
the country.
The cars themselves Of the most modern type,
Portable both in winter and summer.

Station Of the Company modern barns. Here

tranmen assigned to those lines make their head
quarters. The Company has provided in this, well
in the five other stations, club rooms for the
benefit and Of trainmen during their leisure hours
The equipment Of these club includes pool
tables which the tranmen may at slight expense

even spend the night if they should so desire.

ductors arranges for parties at frequent intervals the
expense of which is borne by the Company. The

after the first day of February, it was
it's purpose to put aside all restraints
Of law or Of humanity and use it's
submarines to sink every vessel that
sought to approach either the ports of
Great Britain and Ireland or the
western coast Of Europe or any of the
ports controlled by the enemies of
Germany within the Mediterranean.
That had seemed to be the object of
the German submarine warfare earlier
in the war, but since April of last
year, the Imperial Government had
somewhat restrained the commanders
Of it's undersea craft in conformity
with it's promise then given to us that
passenger boats should not be sunk,
and that due warning would be given
to all other vessels which it's subma-
rines might seek to destroy, when no
resistance was offered or escape at
tempted, and care taken that their
crews were given at least fair
chance to save their lives in their
open boats. The precautions taken
were meagre and haphazard enough
as was proved in distressing instance
after instance in the progress of the
cruel and unmanly business, but a
certain degree of restraint was OBJ
served.

tanmen at the several stations have organized among
themselves orchestras and bands which furnish much
Of the entertainment for these parties. During the
winter months pool tournament is carried at all
the stations. By process Of elimination the cham
pon at each station is determined, and he receives
medal paid for by the Company. A series Of games
between the several station champions is then played
and the winner Of the greatest number Of these games
is declared the System Champion and to his station
is given the large trophy cup which the Company has
Of the station which wins it three times.
Aside from providing wholesome amusement for its
trainmen, the management Of "Twin City Lines' has
undertaken to provide for the material welfare Of it's
employees, through an organization known The
Employees Mutual Benefit Association. The payment
Of very small monthly dues guarantees the employee
certain weekly payment for So weeks in case Of
illness, the payment Of large portion Of the physi
cian charges if operation is necessary, and Of
several hundred dollars in Of DEATH Furthermore
the Company endeavors to provide for an employee
in his old age by granting him pension, when he
longer is able to work.
Minneapolis and Saint Paul are beautiful cities in
which to live The climate is healthful and nvigorat
ing Both are progressive growing cities requiring and
receiving up tothemnute service. An idea Of the
volume Of business done by 'Twn City Lnes' may be
obtained from the statement that in the year 1916

HOW MUCH IS LIBERTY
 WORTH 10 YOU?

This is question that every American should ask himself or herself. For generations we have boasted of our love of lib- erty. We have called our coun- try the land Of the free and the home of the brave" It has been proved in other wars that this was not a mere empty boast by our fathers and our forefath- CTS. But the question of how much is liberty worth to this generation has not yet been ful. ly answered.
 It is going to be answered no. bly by those who serve under the colors. Many ot them will answer with their death. It is going to be answered and ans- wered clearly by others who serve their country as best they may It is going to be answered by others stin who, unable to render personal service, have yet furnished their Government the means to prosecute the war.
 The number of subscribers to the Liberty Loan Bonds is gong to be an index of the love of liberty of the American citizenry of to-day. The list of Liberty Loan Bond holders is going to be a directory of the patriots of America.
