Everybody has heard the slang of
the short-order restaurant, and every
waiter has few phrases on which he
prides himself.
The greatest artist in this line is
said to work behind the counter in a
restaurant in Pennsylvania city.
According to reports, he has never
failed in translating an order into a
language of his own, and he and the
cook understand each other abso-
lutely.
"One order of split-pea SOUP" cries
the customer.
Splash of split peas" cries the
waiter
"An order of ham and eggs" says
one.
"Roast two on a slice of squeal!"
the waiter shouts into the tube.
"Cup of coffee without cream and
couple of doughnuts," another will
order.
1.-TWO submarines and mug of
murk-no cow" orders the waiter.
"Beef stew and cup of tea for
me-" a new arrival says.
"Bossy in bowl-boiled leaves on
the side" sings the waiter.
"a dozen raw oysters" orders a
busy business man.

the waiter.

To Employees of The Bell Telephone
Company:
Under authority of the law and by
the proclamation of the President,
possession on control of the wire sys-
tenn pass to the Postmaster General
as of August 1st. In conference
held in Washington at which were
present the Postmaster General, the
government operating committee and
representatives of the Bell Compa-
nies, the Postmaster General ex-
pressed most emphatically his ap
probation of the service which the
Bell Companies were rendering, and
that such Improvement possible to
be made would be because of the
additional powers derived from the
Government. He asked for the CO.
operation and assistance of those
who have heretofore been RESPONSE
BILE for the service. The Postmaster
General was equally emphatic in the
statement that his desire to confirm
the service and properties of the
them, when called upon to do so, to
the owners in as good condition as
received. That it was his earnest
desire that the owners should re-
ceive just compensation in the full
sense for their use. The Postmaster
General, until other instructions are
issued, desires that the conduct of
operation shall continue, as hereto
fore, and also states that no changes
will be made until after compensa
tion and full and careful considera-
tion due all of you, who are identi-
fed with the Bell Company, who
have shown your fine sense of obi
cation and your loyalty and fidelity
to the country, to the public service
and to the property in the past, and
to whom the credit is due for pres
tige and position of the Companies
in the public eye.
1t is asked, and it is not too much
to ask you, that the same loyalty,
fidelity, and devotion be given to the
service under the new order of
things. On your behalf much loyalty,
fidelity and devotion to the service
has been promised, knowing full we'll
the spirit in which you would meet
and respond to the request. To do
ones full duty in each position is
the greatest obligation resting upon
every person and is also the greatest
opening for future preferment.

OPPORTUNITY

In connection with its campaign to
aid men called to military service in
disposing of their business interests
the State Board of immigration is
authorized to find purchasers for sew
eral excellent business properties in
different sections of the state. The
Board offers this service free to pros
pective soldiers, and feels that in so
doing it is rendering only slight
service in compensation for the SER
vice these men are rendering to the
state and the nation. Among the
properties offered are two good es-
tablished drug stores, general mer-
chandise store, an electric light plant
with flour and feed mill in connec-
tion, complete highway grading
outfit and camp outfit, and 100
acre improved irrigated farm. De-
tailed information about these prop
critics may be obtained from the
State Board of immigration at the
State Capitol Building, Denver.

Caught With the Good

Many people wonder why the
wholesale price of flour dropped so
suddenly about the middle of last
month. Now the secret-which was
never secret to us-is out. The
federal trade commission found that
the millers have been making profit
of As cents barrel, instead of the
25 cents maximum allowed. AS re-
suit the focd administration has or
dered them to sell lower to retailers,
and to sell to the government at 81
barrel until their excess profit is
absorbed. Anyway, that is what is
reported from Washington by the
Associated Press, and it is just what
was to be expected, with men like
the members of the federal trade
commission on the job. They are out
cunning for profiteers, and getting
them every time.

A LABOR PARTY FOR
THE MINNESOTA ELECTION
Producers of Farm and City Will
Unite on a Third Ticket to Fight
Governor Burnquist

In spite of the frantic machina-
tions of the old-line parties, union
labor in Minnesota has decided to en-
ter politics side by side with the or
ganized farmer This important step
was taken at the convention of the
State Federation of labor at Virginia,
Mimi, July 1917. Inasmuch as the
farmers Nonpartisan league cast
l5l,000 votes in the recent primary
election, the junction of the workers
of the cities and the country insures
a majority for the candidates they
name for state offices for the Novem-
ber election.
For years organized labor has been
betrayed by false promises of poll
ticians who wanted nothing so much
as to keep the labor vote split up.
But now action has been precipitated
by the tyrannical hand Governor
Burnquist has held over the working
people through his so-called safety
commission and his refusal to abide
by the decisions of President Wilson's
war labor board in regard to a num-
ber of labor disputes.
Reject the Old Parties
The federation did not stop at de-
Gliding to go into politics on its own
hook. 1t went further by serving no.
tice on both the machine Republicans
and Democrats that it would have
nothing to do with their candidates
for the governorship. Not only was
Burnquist denounced, but Fred E.
Wheaton, the reactionary Democratic
candidate for governor, was pro-
nounced unfit.
The convention adopted with en-
thusiasm a resolution calling for n
political conference in St. Paul not
later than August "a, at which time
the whole political situation will be
discussed This makes certain the
entrance of third ticket in the race
in November. The farmers League
will meet at about the same time.

WOMEN JURORS SURPRISE THEMSELVES

Those who had followed the
trial confidently expected a dis

that seven out of the IL in the

And there are a whole lot of
astonished and disillusioned peo-
pie in consequence. They gave

Last November, following a
threat to avenge the conviction
OF three Italians for another

America is now shipping small
armies to France in response to
the allied appeal for reserves.
During May and June contem-
plated shipments will more than
equal the fighting strength of the
combined Belgian and Portuguese
force on the fighting front.
July and August will show a
slight decline in the average as
added tonnage is turned to the
task Of getting across newly need
ed supplies in increased quanti-
ties.
In the fall and winter months
the work of building up this
country's fighting forces abroad
will be more methodical. Divisions
torn apart for the purpose of bril-
gading units with the British and
French will he brought together
and organizations left behind will
be sent to complete a cohesive all
American army.
1t is purposed to have a regis
tration June 5, for all young men
who have reached II since the last
registration.
This will create a new reser-
