That is the rallying cry adopted by

yesterday. The organizations menu
bers. all Of whom are given two week
vacations annually. have agreed to do
nate their vacation periods to farmers
near Missoula in event of labor
shortage in the harvest season.
Many farmers are hesitating over
farm extensions because they are
afraid labor will be SO scarce in the
fall that the crops will rot in the
fields. 1t Is to relieve this fear that
the Missoula men are organizing.

SMALL MARVEL OF THE SEA
Worms Work Seems Almost to Prove
1t Is Equipped With Something
Like Intelligence.

The question of where intelligence
begins to manifest itself in the scale
Of animal life. sas often been asked.
1t seems to exist even in the lowest
forms. 4 peculiar specimen of the IN
verterbrates of the ocean, an exceed
ingly small worm--so small that 1t
measures less than four millimeters IN
length--eXhibits movements that can
not be explained by anything but in
telligent will.
This midget SeawOrm is a construct
OR; he builds q rampant in the shape
Of tube, composed of grains of sand.
His form shows a hanging double lip
jutting like a fleshy precipice over q
great mouth, four black eyes set in the
front of his head and two tentacleS
which work necessarily, wringing and
flashing whatever they can reach. 1t is
with the same apparently nervous ten
tacleS that the little monster Of the
deep seizes his material, the glisten-
| ing sand, of which he constructs his
/ rampant.
/ He catches a grain of sand in his
| tcntacles and Immediately carries it to
/ his mouth. In his mouth nature Sc
cretes strong cement. One grain
after another is covered with cement
and rapidly accumulated in the form
Of q tube. Naturally enough, when
the builder works 50 fast. there must
! be breaches in the walls. These
breaches are carefully scrutinized by
the worm, filled with grains Of sand
and covered with cement. When fin
ished, the tube is very practical ant
creditable piece of work.
Nothing could be more interesting
than the little workman's management
of his tentacles. Again and again ht
tests the solidity Of his work by tap

like rampant is not built by accident
In such work there must be the par

GOATS FRANKS.

'"The Goat / am going to tell you
about" said Daddy, was twenty-five
years old. You might think that a
Goat that old would never be naughty,
and would never think of Mischievous
things 80 do.
But such was not the case with Bill.
He was always thinking of something
10 do Something that would cause
quite a little trouble, but not so much
as to make Bill Unpopular. For his
Good Qualities were so much greater
and more numerous than his Bad ones.
''He was very good with the Children,
and if he was taking around the little
Wagon which they had attached to him
with the aid of a Harness, he would
never think of any Franks, but would
be as good as good could be.
"He Behaved better than any Pony
could have Behaved. He was patient
and would take the Children for long
Rides, and when their Friends came
to see them, he would take their
Friends for long Rides, too.
But one day his Master left the To-
bacco for his Pipe on the back Porch
of his House.
"'Ah,' said Bill. there is something
for me. l would like to try that stuff :
| He thought of it as Stuff, because he
didn't quite know whether it was TO
Eat or Drink or Smoke!
'He really didn't care much what he
Ate. In fact, he would Eat anything
that was given him, and a great deal
that was not,
'He went up TO the Porch and
shifted at the Tobacco. 1t seemed to
him he knew what it was, and yet he
wasn't quite sure, Well, he would
try it!
HE emptied the Tin of Tobacco,
and Ate it all up! Just as he was
Swallowing the last piece his Master
came along
1.-THE Goat gave a low sound as
though to say: 'Good-morning, Mas
ter. Fine day.
''Now, hanging from the Goats

Tobacco. SO his Master knew what
had been happening.
"'Oh, Naughty Bill he said.
"Bill put his head to one side, and
then to the other, as if to say: What
ever do you mean by that?
"'Well,' said his Master. You're q
good old Goat, and even if you did
Eat up the Tobacco for my Pipe,
think you're pretty nice to the Chill
dren.' And he patted the Goat before
he walked away.
"'There,' said the Goat to himself
of course, I'm Nice. He didn't mind
my Eating what was in that Tin. He
was probably glad to be rid of it. | an
very good about Eating up what some
Folks won't touch!
"The Goat started to go off, but he
saw inside the door Pole with Paper

Need of a Lantern Law.

Woodstock Elm Tree Monthly.)
Connecticut secured law requiring
lights on vehicles used at night onlE
after some months of agitation, and
Vermont is having the same trouble.
The law was not at first generally OBJ
served in Connecticut. but drivers Of
horses finally came to see that it
was a matter of self-preservation,
and began to buy lanterns for travel
after dark. The Vermont legislature
will be asked again to enact lantern
law, and common sense demands that
i he put through without further de-

Those who see places for themselves
or their friends missing in the future
as result of the consolidation Of com
missions recommended Ivy Governor
Graham, should bear in mind that this
was one Of the pledges of the state
Republican platform, which all Repub-
llean candidates for state Offices and
both branches Of the legislature helped
make, and which was especially en-
phasized in the recent state campaign.
Indeed it has been more talked about
by both press and people than any otn-

great thing for a political party to
keep faith with the people and with the
taxpayers, if il would live and retain
public confidence.
