JUST WHAT, BILLION MEANS
Probably Few People Have Right Con-
eeption Of What an Enormous
Amount 1t Representa-.

We hear Of billions these days, but
IL Is probable that very few persons
have any notion Of what an enormous
amount Of money billion represents.
We do know. however, how rapidly
an expert counter Of coins manipulates
them. You can scarcely follow the
motion of his fingers as he shifts the
coins from one pile to another and
counts them. The experts In the
treasury department will count 1000
silver dollars an hour and keep this
up all day long, but that is their
limit.
Working eight hours day, then, an
expert counter Of coin will count 3d.
600 silver dollars in day, but how
long will 1t take him at that rate to
count q million dollars? Thirty one
daysl
But that is only the beginning Of
the measurements Of great figures
for II the same man were to continue
to count silver dollars at the same
rate Of speed for ten years he would
find that he had counted only 100,-
100000 Of them. and that to count
LOCO, OO0, 900 Of them would require
102 years Of steady work at the rate
of eight hours a day during every
working day Of every one Of the 102
years.

what were you going to do with

ard, judge Of city court.
"ShO0t rabbits" replied Abe McMur-
ray, eotored. age seventeen, 356 Fay
cite street, who was ON trial charged
with carrying concealed weapons.
The Judge examined the weapon,
which was small one, and noticed
that the barrel would not revolve auto
matically. He called the defendants
attention to this fact, and was told
that it would revolve If turned by
hand.
The judge still appeared undecided,
then finally remarked: IF this was a
real gun would fine you 500 and
costs, but since, il Is only about half
gun I will make the fine just half the
usual amount" Then he wrote $50
and costs across the face of the aft

Missouri Mule Always There.

The Missouri mule was in the war
long before the Missouri soldier en-
tered it. The declaration of war was
made for him in 1914, two years and
half before Pershing and the thou
sands of other Missourians got their
orders to wheel into line. He had made
a brilliant record there before their ap-
pearanee. But, according to the Lon
don advices, he seems to have felt the
impulse of Missouri behind him at the
last, for it is written: "The mule
shared in the big British advances on
the western front this fall and proved
his grit and worth by keeping right up
with the rapidly advancing artillery"
That II q Missouri characteristic.

HAD BIG PART IN VICTORY
World Likely to Be Amazed When 1t
Learns What the Aircraft Really
Accomplished.

We have become so used to stories
Of wonderful feats accomplished by
aircraft during the war that every
thing we hear nowadays leaves us al
most cold. The things that, before
the war, would have furnished bold
headlines in the newspapers and have
been topic of discussion for days in
the places where people cOngregate
excite no more than passing notice,
1t is scarcely surprising. then, that the
story OF how touch has been maintain
ed FOR more than two years between
the allied armies of the Near East and
the gallant remnants of the Serbians
and Montenegrins who were hidden
among their mountain Businesses, and
Of how they were supplied with arms
and cartridges by airplane, has hardly
attracted attention. There has been
nothing but the barest mention Of the
fact. We are not told how and from
where the machines carried out their
mission. of how many were engaged
In the task of supply or of what eff
feet their wonderful performances
may have had on the situation by keep
ing up the spirits of The gallant few
who have held out against the enemy
for so many weary months. We are
simply told that the Serbian army, in
Its victorious advance, has obtained
touch with those bands, who 'since
the Austro-Bulgsrian occupation have
been holding out among the noun
tains and have been continuously sup
piled with arms, food and cartridges
by airpIane." Now that the episode Is
historical, concludes Flight, and the
enemy can gain no possible advantage
from knowing how It was done. 1t is
a pity that some official commentator
with an imagination cannot tell us
the full story, which must be a real
epic OF war.

Saving Daylight

There is weeping and gnashing

repeal Of the daylight saving law
But they are not narrow minded
about it. They admit that the
law has been working a hardship
to farmers, and that there is plen
ty of argument in favor of it's re
peal. If the farmer sells his clock
in contradiction to railroad time,
his schedule will get considerably
twisted when he is shipping
cream and produce to the city
cOnsunl>r.
But the " hole trouble is so eas
lily cured that it is difficult to un-
derstand why it ever became A
vexed question. 1t is simply a
matter of phraseology. We can

when the cost of living is consid-
cred, but as most of the living is

seems a little weak.

swamps, and to impose upon the
soldiers the work of reclamation.
II this is true, it is an unconscion
able imposition.
The purpose of such a scheme
should be to reward the soldiers
not to enable the nation. or
rather, that part CT it that did
not go to war, to profit at their
expense. There are millions of
acres of public land ready for
cultivation at once. Give that 10
discharged veterans; the swaups
can be drained and the deserts
irrigated at the public cost not
at the expense of the soldiers.
The loan offered to the soldiers
to furnish them with the neces-
sary funds would not discharge
the nations debt, as the advan-i
ces must be paid at four percent
If we are calling the grants a

After the Civil War vast tracts

So they set their brains to work.

of the machine shop were soon

There were not enough men to
balance the acreage. SO machines
made up the deficit.
This process seems likely to
happen again. In the last cen

',s Middle Class in Overails

The W:n,.ireg strike, has prov
ed ralh,l Interesting fact.
1t has established the truth
that if all the organized manual
workers in the country decide to
strike, they can do it, ard TIE
country will get along without
them.
In Winnipeg the military and
police had a certain amount of
work to do. but it consisted of
suppressing hoodlums when tie
mob go: too noisy. The purpose
of the strike was to prove that
the manual workers could not be
dispensed with. And the middle
class group Cf we can speak of
such a class in these days) prov
ed that they could.
The middle class group opera
ted the public plants. and clean
ed the garbage cans. There was
no reason why they shouldn't.
They were hardly likely to feel
any false pride about it. merely
n-cause they were brain worke ers
Most of them draw lower salar-
les than the manual workers.. any
way.
There is no cryptic mystery
about running a street car or a
locomotive. Or calcimining a
wall. An ameteur may not do
these things at first with the
dexteritY as a journeyman. But
he can soon learn.
