War to End This Year

Ever since the great war began.
superstitious folks in every country
have juggled with figures to prove it
would end on this date or that. Many.
Of course. have been exploded as the
appointed time passed and. instead Of
the war ceasinR. fresh fuel was being
added to the world conAagration by
more nations entering.
But now comes mathematical
combination. startling in its result,
which has yet to be disproved because
it sets the end Of the war as some
time during the year 1917. Credence
has been given this uncanny figure
Juggling by papers in many cities.
The Pittsburgh Gazette perfected the
system. which briefly is this:
Take the years in which the rulers
Of the principal allied countries were
born. add to each the year in which he
took Office. then the number Of years
he has reigned or ruled and the number
Of years he has lived.
The sum in each instance will be 3. 1884
mot startling in itself. until you divide
it by two. representing the two hemi-
spheres in the war and you arrive at
the significant figure 1917. the current
year.
II you don't believe the Mathematical
freak. try it on yourself.
Add the year Of your birth. the year
you entered your present business, the
number Of years you have been in
that business and the number Of years
you have lived-and see II the result
is not 3. 834!

The big one got away. He measured

Nice time? Oh. yes. perfectly de-

We pitched camp twice because of

our boots leaked.
We can't go to sleep nights now be-
cause there are not ants. grasshoppers,

FAIRS BILL INTRODUCED.
Proposed Law Will Tighten
Burden Of County Fair
Commissioners.

The bill for a new law for the regu-
lation of county fairs and their man.
agement which has just been intro
duced in the state legislature. is ex-
pected, If passed, to remedy number
OF discrepancies and obstacles which
have been encountered by the officials
handling the Western Montana fair
during the past three years. The new
law will repeal three county fair laws,
and has been introduced through the
efforts of the Montana state Fairs as
ISOLATION. which is composed of the
secretaries of the county fairs in the
state. The legislative committee of the
association, of which Secretary F. M.
Lawrence of the Missoula county fair
is chairman. drafted the bill at the
meeting of the Montana Fairs associa-
ton in Helena last week.
The new law will make it possible
for each county to appropriate a GER
tain sum of money for the carrying
en- of the county fairs, something
which has been impossible under the
of the county will handle all this
money and spend it, instead of waiting
for the county to furnish the finances
AT its leisure.
Under the present system there is a
great deal of delay in paying bills and
premium awards. Under the pro-
posed law this would be simplfed, as
the county treasurer will pay the fair
fund to the fair commissioners and
they make all the disbursements di-
rectly.
Also under the existing statutes
each member Of the county fair COM
mission has been liable for his share
of losses at the gate and of amuso-
ment contracts. Under this bill the
county may, in case of n debit at the
gate due to unusual conditions such as
bad weather, appropriate a sum suf-
ficient to meet all deficiencies. Last
year, due to bad weather, the local
county fair was run at heavy loss
and the fair commissioners had to dig
down in their own pockets and make
up the losses.
Another condition detrimental to the
county fair. which has received the
attention of the trainers of the law
was the question of the employment OF
fair secretaries. At present the county
cannot appropriate more than S25 fol
the salary of a county fair secretary
1t is entirely out of the question OF
course, to hire a secretary at this
salary, so the salary of this officia
has been drawn from various othel
county funds, and the salary made VI
in this way. The new law allows tn,
employment of fair secretary by tn,
individual county.
The county fair bill is at presen
- under consideration by the fairs an,
exhibits committee of the state legis
lature, which is also handling the in
creased appropriations bill for Thu
Montana state fair.

Lonsdale, president of the National
Bank Of Commerce of st. Louis and

ers of Railroad Securities, in an ad-
dress before the Society of Railway

while other industries are creating
great contingency funds for the ex-
pected after-the-war period of depres-
sion and adjustment, our railroads
are falling behind on current divi-
dends,'' he said. "Gross earnings have
vastly increased but expenses have
increased faster. as a result of which
conditions the fotation of railroad
securities on a satisfactory basis is
a virtual impossibility. Not only must
bonds be issued at high rates OF in
terest. but even then they must often
be sold at a ruinous discount.
THE return to public favor Of rail-
road securities would have a buoyant
effect upon the money market and
business interests in general. The
Importance of propitious money

ment securities is well recognized.
