MONTANA PLAN ELIMINATES
 STRIKES
(By Associated Press)

BUTTE, Montana, Jan. 22.-A plan having the endorsement of the unions and employers alike for the elimina- tion of disturbances in war time, has been established in many Montana towns through the efforts of the Mon. tana Employers association. This plan has been presented to President Wilson and Governor s. V. Stewart of Montana, and it is to be submitted to the United States department of la. bor. At Great Falls, after a trial of the plan, the unions recently gave a smoker to which the employers were invited as guests. The plan worked worked we'll at Butte until that city was invaded by the Industrial Workers of the World agitators during the mine troubles last summer, when it was interrupted. It has since been re-established.
 The crux of the plan is the adjust ing of wages for a year ahead. This is arranged by an agreement which either side may abrogate at the end of the year on a thirty days notice. If differences arise which threaten a dis turbance at the end of the period GOV cred in the agreement, such differ ences are submitted to the disinter- ested local board appointed by both the employer and the workers.
 So far it has not been found neces- sary to call in any higher authority than this local board. But the plan provides for a supreme body of six members, three to be selected by Samuel Gompers and three by the Ma tional Employers association, for the final settlement of all disputes that fail of settlement in the regional boards. This national board is essen. tially an appellate board, to which ex- captions to the findings of the region al board may be referred for final and binding adjudication 4.-
 Montana unions and employers are said to be so satisfied with the work ing of the plan that they are renew ing the yearly agreements.
 John H. Mcintosh, secretary of the Employers association of Montana, re- gently said regarding the plan.
 "A prominent Great Falls contrae- tor told me the other day that the plan had been worth a million dol- lars to his city A union leader of the same city, who was formerly known as a radical, tells me that the plan is the best thing that has happened yet for the workingman, as it keeps the peace and the pay checks are no long. CT interrupted.
 "The arbitration plan as it is work ing in Great Falls, Helena, Billings and elsewhere in the state outside of Butte. is the one practical arrange ment that has been put to the acid test and has met with favor on all sides"
 The campaign for the application of the scheme to include the whole nation is going on apace, It is pro posed to create many local boards fol the settlement of all labor disputes except those coming directly under the jurisdiction of the government such as shipyard differences and SC forth.
 It is suggested that upon the com pletion of this national scheme the President shall issue an order pro
 hibiting the calling or continuance ot l strikes or lockouts after certain day
 and hour. The order shall be con
 sidered an act hostile to the nationa interests, and shall be dealt with ac 1

PASSPORT IDEA is OLD ONE
There ls Record OF Document Granted
by Julius Caesar to q
Philosopher.

According to a writer In London An
swers, passports, without which one
cannot at present quit the country ex-
cept as a soldier or a sailor, are Of
very ancient origin. The earliest of
which there is record is one granted
by julius Caesar to philosopher, and
is worded as follows:
"If there be anyone on land or sea
hardy enough to modest Potaman, let
him consider whether he be strong
enough to wage war with Caesar"
In normal times passport is not
difficult thing to obtain in England. The
application must be accompanied by a
declaration made by the applicants
banker, or any mayor. magistrate, min
lister of religion, barrister at law, ply
stefan, solicitor or notary. 1t is lingu-
istically a highly ornate document,
with the royal arms at its head, an
imposing array Of titles set forth in
grandiloquent language and printed In
the best copper plate.
At the base. is the coat of arms Of
the foreign secretary. followed by his
signature, autographed. The bearers
signature completes the document, and
the whole thing may be considered
cheap at two shillings.
If person wishes to travel In any
of those countries where passport Is
a necessity he must obtain the ac-
acknowledgement Of registration-that is
the vise-of the embassy or consulate
IF that country. This costs a further
sum of from two to nine shillings.

Hawk Works Hard for Living.

The hawk is a successful fisherman,
and were it's task done with the CATCH
ing of fish it's lot would be an en-
viable one. But live fish Is not de-
sirable as the piece de resistance of a
hawk dinner, so the bird that catches
one always flies around until the fish
is dead. This, we are told, is the in
variable practice.
Sometimes a fish expires quickly,
while at other times hawk must fly
around for hours before it can return
home to the waiting family. There
have been times when the fish have dis
played stamina greater than the birds.
This may explain why hawks seldom
pounce on the croaker, most tenacious
of life of all fish in the waters round
about.
There is a well-attested instance of
a hawk which started to fly around
with croaker it had caught and, after
Tapping about whole afternoon and
half a night, fell exhausted on the
beach. Fishermen who were attract
ed by the unusual occurrence found
the hawk dead while the croaker, fast
in the lifeless talons, had not croaked.

Tigers Amazing Feat.

the night short time ago In place
where tiger had performed some re-
markable feats. Just at dusk one of
these marauders visited the village
and discovered COW and her six
months-old calf In a pen which had
been excavated in the side of a hill
and adjoined a house. There was no
possible way to enter the Enclosure ex-
cept by door opening from the main
part of the dwelling or to descend
from above. The tiger jumped from
the roof upon the neck of the heifer.

the house opened the door just in time
to see the animal throw the calf out
bodily and leap after 1t himself. I
measured the embankment and found
the exact height was 12h feet"

SAVE FOOD OVER HERE FOa
VICTORY OVER THERE.

Efforts toward cleaner threehing
were centered in thi,ty-three grain
states last spring and summer. Two.
thirds of them have ALREADY reported
an aggregate saving of $1,000 600
bushels of wheat through cleaner har-
vesting and threshing. Many of the
other states, although not prepared to
make estimates, reported greatly re
dueed harvest losses. In addition TO
wheat, at which the clean threshing
campaign was especially aimed, there
have been corresponding savings OF
other grains. An average of several
thousand tests showed that raking
shock rows saved about one busheI OF
grain per acre.
To complete the seasons work in a
thorough manner, owners OF thlsshing
machines, binders and all grain hand
ling equipment are now asked to put

KEEP ON SAVING FOOD.
SLEEP AS AID TO LONGEVITY
Long Hours In Bed May Mean Long
Life, But the Question Arises,
10 1t Worth It?

The farmers wife at Market Bos-
worth, England, who, though in per-
feet physical health" has remained in
bed for three years may hold that If
we all spent more time in bed we
should live much longer. This theory
Is borne out by the experience of two
sisters of Brillat-Savarin. who nearly
attained hundred years. They lived
at country house belonging to the
author of the "Physi0ogie du Govt"
which he used only in September and
October. They spent ten months Of
the year in bed, getting up two days
before his arrival, and living normal
ure they would say: "Goodby until
next September, Anthelme. We are
going to bed" One of them died at
the age of ninety-ntne, as she was fin
ishing dinner, her last words being,
"Hurry up with the dessert"
On the other hand, some Swiss doc
tors say that the amount of sleep
should be regulated by altitude. Too
much sleep, they maintain, is as harm
full as too much drink. In low-lying
districts seven hours slumber may be
taken with impunity, but up in the
mountains five hours is quite enough.
These sleep specialists also ban the
practice Of remaining in bed in the
morning, half awake, and insist on the
necessity Of arising as soon as sleep
fails.

the idea of falling In love with one of
them. Then he had met Juanita. She
was go different from the rest-so like
an American, and yet so unlike one.
She appeared educated and refined.
When Jack realized that he was really
falling in love with her, he was panic
stricken. Recollections of the fate Of
the hero of THE Bird of Paradise"
and other Hawaiian plays swarmed
into his brain and caused him to cut
short his stay. Juanita was all right
in Hawaii, but she would be out of
place in America. He had sense enough
20 see that.
But as Jack sat Eliminating over it,
he wondered if he had been wise. 1t
was not fair to Juanita to come away
as he had. He had been in America
for a month, but had been so busy on
his songs he hadn't had an opportunity
TO think 1t over before. 1t was hard
on her If she thought anything of him.
