SHANK IN HIGH
SPIRITS OVER
CAPITAL TRIP
Even Illness and Enforced
SeclusiOn Fails to Dampen
ArdOr.

All the candidates on the Republican
ticket will be invited to dinner by Sam
uel Lewis Shank, G. 0. =. aspIrant TO
the mayors office, as soon as Mr.. Shank
RECEIVERS from a sudden illness which
overlook him Sunday and left him in bed
at his residence 3547 East Washington
street today under orders Vof his doe
tor not to see anybody for several days.
Mr.. Shank, who Violated the docter's
ruling just long enough to talk TO a re-
porter, said the dinner viii be held at
his home and plans for carrying the
whole ticket to success In November will
be discussed. He was in high spirits
over the results of his trip TO Washing
ton, where he saw Postmaster General
VIII II. Hays, Representatives Merrill
Moores and Senators Harry S. New and
James +. Watson.
II have their promise be said. that
Bob Bryson won't be postmaster and
that Ed McGuff will not be collector or
customs"
WHY MR.. SHANK WENT
TO NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Mr.. Shank's visit was for the purpose
Of inducing the Washington Hoosiers
not to pass out patronage to friends or
the News Jewett organization, now that
1t has been scrapped by Mr. Shank's ma
chine He said he did not go to land
Federal patronage for the Shank sup
porters. He admitted that he did put In
a good word for Edward ]. Robson.
one Of the men whom he defeated in the
primary election, who now Is I'm the race
for the indianapolis postmastership.
But / saw Ed after he had had
long conference with Merrill Moores and
he Indicated that nothing more reed be
done, that he was satisfied with what the
outcome was going to be, whatever that
is" said Mr., Shank.
Senator Watson and Postmaster Gen
eral Hays gave every indication Of being
"tickled to DEATH" that the News Jewett
organization was overthrowu, Mr. Shank
said and intimated that he thought that
If the truth were known that Representa-
tive Moores was not a all displeased.
Senaor New also received him gracious
ly, he said.
LAUGHS OVER
DEVELOPMENTS.
When told that an effort Is being made
to eliminate Mr.. Robson as a candidate
for postmaster on the score that he is
over the age limit fixed for postmasters
to be appointed Hnder President Hard
ing's new executive order, Mr. Shank
laughed and said:
III bet you If those fellows in Wash
ington street want to appoint him they'll
find way to dc 1t all right"
Attempts Of the Indianapolis News to
explain away" his victory by a series
of articles designed to show that he was
nominated by the Democratic vote"
also are laughable to the candidate
Richard Smith and the News need
not worry about me getting more votes
than Harding and Cox in the lower end
of the Seventh ward he said. 81 got
more votes simply because 1 am more
popular"
Mr. Shank's Illness, which is not of
a serious nature, was caused by exces-
sive fatigue and change Of diet on his
trip to Louisville, Washington and New
York, following too closely upon the
strenuous grind Of the campaign.
His physician may order him out Of
the city for week or two to recuper-
ate, he said

Night Court to Rid
Docket Of Divorces

With approximately 400 untried divorce
cases on his docket, Judge Harry Cham
berlin of the Marion County Circuit Court
has decided to hold night sessions in an
attempt to clear his docket The iEst
session will be held tonight.
The court began hearing divorce cases
at a. m. and did not retire until after l
o'clock for lunch. The congestion of the
divorce docket is due to the fact that the
court for the last three months has been
busy hearing big civil suits, several of
them taking many weeks.

France is ready for military action in

were no overt indications that this would

The hope was expressed that the Cham

which would show the solidarity Of
France, and that the French and British
premiers would meet Immediately after

Strong opposition to the increased sala-

tended that their constituents could not

RETURN TO WOLF POINT.

Mr.. and Mrs. F. B. Turner are back
in Wolf Point and say it is with the
intention of staying, as they have
found no part of the country quite as
good or as prosperous. Mr.. Turner
left here last fall and went to the oil
country, buying a business in Lewis
town. This summer he sold again
and they have been travelling and Wis
iting friends. Just recently they
were in Minnesota for some time and
say conditions, especially with the
farm people, are bad there compared
to this section of Montana. Mr.. Tur-
ner will again take over the Palace
barber shop.
Nh. and Mrs. Turner, who have no
children of their own, brought a
bright little girl, not quite two years
old, with them, which they will adopt.

KIRTON AND REED
TAKE OVER OFFICES

In a letter received early this week
from F. S. Reed at Glasgow, he
states that he succeeded E. C. Har-
gadine as receiver of the land office
last Saturday. E. M. Kirton, for
merly of Malta, took over the office
of register Monday, the 10Th, sue
ceeding Thomas r. Jones.
Mr.. Reed has been away for about
six weeks, most of which time he has
spent in Glasgow getting in touch
with the land Office work. The delay
in taking over the Office has been due
to the time consumed in filing bonds,
ETC., which had to be sent to Wash
ington and back several times.
Mr.. Reeds many friends in Gull
bertson and vicinity will be pleased
to learn that he is at last established
in his new office. He will make his
home there, and expects to buy a fine
residence about next spring, having
completed plans for the purchase.
In his letter Mr.. Reed told of max
ing a trip to Missoula a short time
ago to make arrangements for bring
ing his family to Glasgow. Mrs.
Reed and two children arrived in
Glasgow last week and are now To-

When the diversified farmer of the

New York and Chicago are at the

NEED OF THRIFT IN NATIONAL
LIFE.
(Rv S. w. Strains

If there is doubt in the mind o
anyone in this country as to the neet
of greater national thrift, he neet
only turn to recent statistics on Goa
and fuel waste to be convinced Of hi.
error. One technical expert is author
ity for the statement that the ma
tons total fuel loss, which, in gu
present state of technical knowledge
is capable of being prevented
amounts to the prodigious sum OF
$4,000, 900, 900 a year.
How large a part the fuel situa-
ton plays in the daily lives of each
of us is indicated by the fact that to
transport our coal products alone
uses up a third of the total freight
capacity of our railroads. When we
are wasting fuel we are adding to the
cost of every other commodity of life
and it is doubtless true that if all
fuel waste in this country could be
eliminated we would be amazed at
the difference it would make in the
prices we paid for food, clothing,
rent and all other necessities.
In 1913 the price of one ton of BIZ
luminous coal at the mine was quoted
at $1.32, yet, according to scientists,
it had a collective value of SIG, TAX
ing into consideration its capacity of
power, heat, light and its by-products.
The United States is mining coal to-
day at the rate of 700, 100000 IONS a
year, or about 100000 a day. This
is so per cent more than the 1910
product, three times as much as the
1900 product and six times as much
as the amount mined in 1890.
Our coal mines require an army of
men 100000 strong, the death toll of
which is $500 men annually, or
about eight lives each working day.
Greater national thrift in mining,
transporting and consuming coal
would release an army of producers
to other fields of endeavor and mean
the saving of hundreds of human
every year.
Out of each ton of coal mined
there is a loss at the mine of 600
pounds, yet we are told by experts
that by the best practice in mining
methods this loss can be reduced to
100 pounds.
1t is said that under present meth
DDS employed by our railroads the
average locomotive gets in power
only about 5 per cent of the coal, and
the total preventable loss in this
phase of our national life amounts
to 122, O00, 900 tons of coal a year.
The coal situation presents n of
the most fruitful fields for thrift
