that the Federal Trade Commits
sion has reached the eastern
mail-ordcr houses in the course
Of its investigations. The COM
mission will begin on Sears, Roe
buck & Co. of Chicago for viola
ton Of the federal statutes COW
ering competition in trade, and
it is our guess that enough
wrong-doing will be uncovered
10 convince the victims Of these
mail-order wolves of their folly.
The head Of this great enter
prise that stretches its tentacles
to almost every community, is
Julius Rosenwald, one of the re-
cent "dollar-a-day men" in the
service Of the government, who
resigned not long ago for reasons
that have not been made quite
clear. Rosenwald, in his pose of
philanthropist, has given away
q great deal of money that came
to his Golfers from the people
who are not willing to play a
fifty-fifty game with their neigh
bors in the development Of a
state like Montana. Yet his own
great establishment was, q few
years ago, made a subject Of in
vestigation by the Illinois state
senate when Mr.. Rosenwald and
his associates resisted demand
for the minimum wage for girls
in his employ. He offered the
opinion at that time that a girl
should be able to live and clothe
herself in Chicago for $500 a
week. The commission thought
differently and, for the protection
Of these girls, recommended a
wage considerably higher. Rosen-
valid was a philanthropist for the
upbuilding of the negroes, but not
for employees in his own estab-
lishment.
We do not think it necessary
to restate the case against the
mail-order houses. Our own
merchants, notably those in
Stevensville, have shown time
and again the falsity OF the con-
tention Of the mail-order kings
that Montana farmers could trade
with them profitably. The argyll
ment that we would like to en-
phasize in this matter is that
Montanans should be loyal to
themselves and to their state. So
far as is possible our money
should be kept within our own
borders. Because Of conditions
beyond our control, our contribu-
tons for the Red Gross and our
money for Liberty bonds go far
from us to be expended in other
localities. Our only reward is
that Of having done our duty to
our government. We think this
should be remembered, particu-
larly at this time.
The stress Of war has taught
us that to win, we must stand
together. This axiom has a closer
application, as we daily grow
closer to the crisis. We do not
know what times are to be upon
us. We must conserve our every
day interests and we can think of
nothing that will turn us farther
from this duty than cxpending
our money with mail-order deal
erS.
We think that President Wilson
should have the highest credit
for insisting upon such work as
is being done by the Federal
Trade Commission with the Chi
cago packers, a little later with
the mail-order people, and, ulti-
mately, with all other robbing
corporations, we hope.

Despite repeated orders and efforts
Of the government postal authorities
to keep inflammable and explosive ma

to the American expeditionary forces In

stantly broken. according to postal
bulletin from the office Of the postmas-
ter general received by j. w. Lister,
Missoula postmaster, yesterday.
Although it is against the law and
persons violating 1t are liable to pun
ishment as great as ten years Inn

~ GEORGE RANDOLPH CHESTER
and Lillian Chester.

Paris, March 1.-THE iron worker
who had her hair marcellcd caught our
eye, and held It. She was peach
complexioned young woman. and she
was turning things in two lathes, cas-.
ings Tor shells. we believe. Old statis-
tics. here to represent the Core Max

The marcelled girl was working with
her hands folded in her lap, and a look
OF ineffable content on her face, and
an occasional touch of well-mani-
cured fingertip to the marching. When
lathe number one was through taper
ing down tho shell casing to high
polish and fine taper, it stopped Of
Its own accord, and tossed the thing
Into an automatic runway, through
which 1t went somewhere else to have
something else done to 1t by some other
woman; whereupon the lathe young
lady pulled lever, which raised an
other casing into place; this she deli
cately busted, and started the ma
chinery.
Starting the machinery is the spc-
cialty of these mechanics; no one lifts
or carries anything to amount to any
thing. In about five or seven minutes,
lathe number two finished its task, and
wanted more. and the lathe young lady
accommodated.

MAKES NOTABLE DISCOVERY.
Pha rmacist at S. U. |. Produces Phen-
acetin at Half Present Price.

Iowa City, Feb. w. A. Konantz, a
research chemist in the college OF phar-
mary at the state university Of Iowa,
has discovered q method by which
phenacetin, n drug which became al
most unobtainabls with the break with
Germany, can be produced at less than
one half its present cost. This Is re-
garded as one OF the most notable
achievements In the history OF the in
stitution.
The discovery will have great com =
mercia1 Importance. It Is believed, for
this drug has been widely used by
physicians as headache remedy. hut
the consumption has been greatly
diminished by It's scarcity and excess
sive cost. The government is demand
ing large quantities OF it now. because
1t constitutes an important part Of the
soldiers medical SUPPLIES.
When trade with Germany ceased,
tho price rose to $40 a pound. and even
at that price, it was almost impossible
to obtain 1t because Of tho limited sup
ply. Domestic production has lowered
this figure considerably, but American
manufacturers have been unable to
make the drug economically heretofore.
The price now Is nearly ten times as
great as It was before the war.
The university pharmacists method
Yields a pure product which meets all
the requirements for medicinal use. He
Is experimenting further in the hopes
OF reducing the cost OF production still
more. His success 50 far has cost him
ten hours daily in the laboratory since
the first OF last July.

mammals that formerly frequented our
state. These parts include teeth, Jaws,
tusks and limb bones.
Only recently a tooth unearthed IN
the drilling of a we'll In Marion county
was Forwarded to Professor Kay and
upon examination he found that 1t was
the second molar Of an extinct masto-
don OF giant size. The 7nastodon, he
explains, was an animal resembling in
general form the living elephants, but
more heavily built, possessing thick
er. shorter legs a deep chest, and much
broader hips than the Indian elephant
for example.
All of these animals which are known
only by their fossils roamed over Iowa.
