Mrs. ID. Graham. 3l5 East Cedar

tentions are far more admirable: for
though God is apparently unable to
stop the war the kaiser could stop it
in twen9y-four hours if he chose.

Talk OF the Tour,

In western Montana more than any:
where else, perhaps. is the automobile
a magic device. Elsewhere It has rev.
olutionized traffic, has extended city
boundaries. has put delight within the
hands of thousands. but here 1t has
thrown open an imperial wilderness
playground which without gasoline
would have been closed for decades.
In Missoula the meanest. tiniest car
is a magic carpet. With gallon of
gasoline man may take himself be-
yond all neighbors-out into the hills
where bills are not nor worries: where
all is as it was 10000 years ago.
Twenty years ago radius Of Is
miles marked the limits of the average
Missoula persons wandering. In those
days Marent trestle was in another
world. and a drive to McNamara's
Landing on the Blackfoot was n mat
ter for days of planning. over rutty.
narrow mountain roads campers and
picnickers jolted all day to reach re-
mote resorts which now are consid-
cred too close to town to be enjoyable.
People then looked upon trip to the
Indian agency at JOcko. for example,
as an heroic enterprise. a penetration
of the wilderness worth a place in the
family records. Now man who can't
leaving Missoula takes his car to the
garage for overhauling.
In one way the automobile has taken
a delightful SAVIOR out Of life. Some
thing of the romance Of excursioning
has been lost. The gypsy color which
use to make the stiff. hot rides in cruel
buckboards plea SAINT is gone. now that
the end of most mountain roads can be
reached in comfort in an hour or two
But the boundaries Of outdoor living
have been wiped out: the horizon is
gone. Not all have automobiles, alas,
nut few there are without fortunate
friends. And in the remote hills. among
superb beauties and fresh delights,
clear air and unspoiled woods. hum
dreds of people are finding inspiration
and recreation which were as far from
their fathers as is the moon.
The one topic on Missoula streets
yesterday was the lottery in Washing
ton today. Every man Of CONSUMPTION
age knew his number, and many had
little pocket lists of their friends
numbers. If million dollars were to
be given to the first man drawn in
terest in the affair could not be
keener.
One Missoula newspaperman yeSter-
day bet one cent against 800 that he
would be the first Missoula county
man drawn.
A nightmare nearly caused a gen l.
eral fire alarm Wednesday night. A
guest at the Palace hotel. having eaten
too much of something better left
alone, dreamed such horrible things
that he jumped screaming out OF bed
and kicked out his window. He was
heard at the fire station and an emer-
gency squad went running to the no.
tel to put out the fire. A ladder mans
shouts woke up the dreamer and end
ed the noise.

A deserved rebuke to such Ameri-
cans as are afflicted with the very
common defect of impotence comes in
these words from the Chicago Evening
Post: Professor 3. T. Shatskv O.
Petrograd, who is engaged on a spe-
cial mission for the new Russian gov
eminent, made fair proposal to this
country at a luncheon given in his
honor by the Illinois Manufacturers
association.
II must ask the American people,
he said. to give us two or three
months to reorganiZe in Russia. Just as
we gave you two or three years to Join
us in the war;
There is justice and point in this
request. AS recent converts to mill
tant democracy we have all the zeal
and impatience of the initiate. But it
i'll becomes us to complain Of delay on
the part Of those who for nearly three
years have borne the burden of battle.
And this is especially true in the case
OF Russia, whose handicaps have been
enormous and whose courageous grap-
ping with autocracy at home in the
midst OF war with autocracy abroad
will some day be seen in it's true ligh,
as one Of the most heroic undertakings
in history" a -

On this day win begin the draft of a
half million American men to struggle
with arms for the preservation OF the
liberties. the homes. the lives Of our
people. That, in truth, is a serious
task but it has deeper meaning than
ever was related to another war, Our
soldier lads are to cross the seas to

the history of the world when the
thousands are chosen to fight for the
rights of mankind.
The drafted soldier is also a volun-

not serfs hidden to battle at the nod
of a mad Nero. They are free men

FOR FISH, NOT BABIES.

Along the Fox river. a few miles
above Wedron, ILL.,, an old timer named
Andy Haskins has a shack, and he has
made most of the record fish catches
in that vicinity during 40 years. He
has a big record book containing dates
and weights to impress visitors.
Last summer young married
couple from Chicago camped in a lux
uriOus lodge three miles above old
Haskins' place. A baby was born at
the lodge. and the only scales the
father could obtain on which to weigh
the child was that with which Andy
Haskins had weighed all the big fish
he had caught in 10 years.
The baby tipped the scales at IS
pounds!

DTNEY DRICERS IN ATLANTA
ARE PLANNING BIG CLEANUP

ATLANTA, Ga, August 29.-Whiie
the local street railway company aud
the railroad line connecting Camp
Gordon and Atlanta are debatils
whether or not they want to handle the
traffic between the city and the camp.
the local association of amalgamated
jitney bus operators and owners, or
words to that effect, are making elab-
crate plans to keep the dirt road hot
every day and every hour from the
opening of the camp until the close of
the war.
They will be somewhat handicapped
by the fact that the highway from At
lanta to the camp is not the best in
the world, owing to the fact that part
of it lies in DeKalb county, which is
financially unable to afford fancy as
phalts and bitulithics, but they ex
pect to make the dust fly just the
same.
Right at present they are confronted
with court decision UNFOLDING the
city of Atlanta's right to tax and
regulate them. This decision, render
ed by the supreme court of Georgia,
they propose to appeal to the SUI
preme court of the United States
Meanwhile they can at least haul pas
sengers to the Atlanta city limits, even
if the courts go against them.
