every candidate before the national
convention had expressed his salts

committee under the leadership of
Mr.. Hays and his desire If nominated

Mr.. Hays as an organizer and ag-

his absolute fairness to all candidates
for the presidential nomination.
Throughout the entire pre-convention
campaign there was no act by Mr..
Hays that gave the slightest indica-

among the numerous candidates. His
efforts were directed to arousing the
rank and file of the party to the i'm

WHY SCHOOL VACATION.


Perhaps not many boys of this gen.
Grafton know why it is that they have
three months vacation away from
school during the summer 1t might
be good idea if their grandfathers
told them just why it is, and persuad-
ed them to use that vacation for the
purpose for which it was originally
intended. The coincident of vacation
and harvesting time is not an acct
dent. Our forefathers had method in
closing up the schools and colleges
along about June ! and keeping them
closed until fall. They needed their
big husky boys TO help them plant,
and hoe and reap: and they saw to it
that they did just that when the
teacher gathered up his books and
dismissed his pupils for the summer
There was useful and necessary work
for the daughters, too, at that busy
and interesting period In the old
times, vacation days were not holt
days-they were days filled with hard
genuine work on the farm.
There is very little common sense !
in closing up the schools and aban-
ioning education in the cities for
three months each summer. and the
recent order of the Lewiston indie
pendent district in shortening the
to two months seems
sound and timely in the absence of
my argument save that of custom.

MAGNITUDE OF MINING.
(The Manufactured

TINE ManuIacturer)
The magnitude of the mining indus
try may be grasped when one realizes
that more than 100000 men are en-
gagged in the mines of the world. OF
this number 100000 are employed in
the coal mines and 100000 in the
metal mines. In addition. millions
more are engaged in allied industries
dependent directly upon the mines for
coal and metal, according to the En-
cheering and Mining Journal.
If it had not been for the lure of the
metal mines, the west would not be

Possession
ella Wheeler Wilcox

That which we had we still possess,
Though leaves may drop and stars
may fall;
No circumstances can make it less,
Or take it from u.s. all in all.
That which is lost we did not own;
We only held it for a day
A leaf by careless breezes blown.
No fate could take our own away.
I hold it as a changeless law
From which no soul can sway or
swerve,
We have that in us which will draw
Whate'er we need or most deserve.
Even as the magnet to the steel
Our souls are to our best desires;
The fates have hearts and they can
feel
They know what each true life re-
quires.
We think we lose when we most gain;
We call joys ended ere begun;
When stars fade out do skies com
plain,
or glory in the rising sun?
No fate could rob MS OF our own
No circumstance can make it less;
What time removes was but loan,
For what was ours we still possess.

RAILROAD ELEcTRIFIcATIoN.
Anaconda Standard

With the actual experiences of the
Milwaukee, the B. A. & P. and a few
his statements, A. H. Armstrong,
chairman of the electrifcation COM
mittee of the General Electric COM
pany, is urging the electrification of
railroads generally as a means of in
creasing their efficiency. He says
that electric locomotives can haul the
railway tonnage of the country at one
third the coal consumed by steam en-
gines if Identification were wholly
dependent on coal fired generation
stations. But electrifcation would not
be dependent upon such stations. for
in many parts of the country water
power could be harnessed to do the
work. During 1918 the railroads con-
sumed 163,000,000 tons of coal and
IS, ZOO, 900 barrels of oil, or the equiv
leant of 176,OOO,OOO tons of coal. If
the roads had been electrified only
100000 tons of coal would have
been necessary. Even less than that
would have been required if the water
power were used where practicable.

ESSAY ON BUNK.
DANES j. Montague)

When an elderly stock broking gent
Declares he would trade all he's got
For the beautiful peace and content
That one finds in a lowly matched
cot;
When he yearns for the freedom from
trouble and care
That a dear little home will supply
one,
can't understand why he don't go
somewhere.
And buy one.
When a man with a barrel of wealth
Observes with a grief stricken sob,
That he pines for the full flush of
health
That one gets with a laborer's job;
When he dwells on the joys and the
pleasures that Turk.
In the workingman's neatly swept
howell.
am always surprised that he don't
go to work,
With a shovel.
When the city man speaks of the
charm.
That he knew in the days that are
fled.
When he lived on the little old farm.
And the skies were so blue overhead,
When he talks of the brook with its
agile young trout
And the lovely spring flowers that
blow there,
can't comprehend why he doesn't
sell out,
And go there
The poor though they fain would be
rich,
Can always put up the excuse,
For getting luxuries which,
To come by are hard as the deuce.
But the rich when they want to be
dreadfully poor
Don't need to be futilely signing
And whenever they do so, we feel
rather sure,
They are lying.
The reputation of many puffed up
nan ends in smoke.
