LANGUAGE OF THE woopsMEN.

Workmen in the great woods of the
Pacific coast have language all their
own that is not understood by the I'M
itiatied.
A "faller" is the workman who
falls" the trees, and good faller
can always fall his tree so that it
viously set into the ground.
A QUICKER" saws the tree into logs,
and the process is called 'bucking a
log" A sawyer" always works in
the lumber mill. and he saws the logs
into lumber. A filler" files the saws
and keeps them sharp.
The "hooktender'' in a logging
camp puts the chain around the logs
so they may be hauled in with a dom
key engine. A chaser" follows the
log as it is being dragged in; a
"swamper" keeps the roadway clear
for the logs, and a 'sniper" cuts off
the sharp corners of the logs so they
will drag the easier. A "choker' is
the cable line placed about the log.
A "highclimber" in a logging camp
is the workman who goes up the log
ging mast to place high lines" from
the donkey engine. The skid greas-
er" puts grease upon skid roads so
the logs will slide more readily The
whistle punk" operates the donkey
engine whistle and signals the work
man with it. A donkey" is sta
tionary engine with cables that long
ago replaced oxen in log handling m
the west.
A "boom" is a number of logs in
the water held in place by boom
sticks"
In former times the word bull
fighter was commonly heard. 1t APP
piled to the nan in the logging camp
who had demonstrated his superior
ability with his fists in numerous en-
counters with his fellow workers.
This expression is no longer heard,
loggers say, because fighting in log
ging camps is a pastime in which
workmen no longer indulge. A fight
is now a rare occurrence in the woods
of the coast.

GODS LIGHT. HOUSES

(By Helen Hunt JackSOn.)
When night falls on the earth, the sea
From east to west lies twinlling
bright
With shining beams from beacons
high
Which flash afar a friendly light.
The sailors eyes. like eyes in prayer,
Turn unto them for guiding ray;
If storms obscure their radiance,
The great ships helpless grope their
way.
When night falls on the earth. the sky
Looks like a wide boundless main.
Who knows what voyagers sail there?
Who knows the ports they seek and
gain?
Are not the stars like beacons set
To guard the argosies that go
From universe to universe,
Our little world above. below?
on their great errands solemn bent,
In their vast journeys unaware
OF our small planets name or place
Revolving in the lower air.
o thought too vastl o thought too
glad!
An awe most rapturous it stirs,
From world % world Gods beacons
shine;
God means to save His mariners!

VOLUNTARILY ACCEPT WAGE
REDUCTIONS

Recent action of approximately 90
600 employees of the marlborough ana
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Companies
in voluntarily accepting wage reduc-
tions OF 10 per cent. will save these
systems nearly $4,000, 900 in annual
operating expenses.
The workers of these two great
transportation systems which cover
Greater New York are organized I'M
der employees representation" plans.
The marlborough workers are unit
ed in the brotherhood of marlborough
Rapid Transit Employees, which has
been in existence nearly five years.
They accepted the wage cut by a
vote of S.S41 to $3.50.
The employees of the brotherhood
system accepted the decrease through
a committee elected under a repre-
sentation plan adopted last fall
The Interborough Brotherhood or
ployes in August, 1916, by vote of
$500 to 1900. 1t has a membership
today of more than $4,000.
While all questions as to wages
working conditions that arises are
handled by the brotherhood, the com
pany takes care OF the question of
efficiency or Discipline of members
The employees nominate and elect by
secret ballot one committeeman TO
every $50 employees. No employee
who is exercising disciplinary power
over fellow employee" can be a COM
mitteeman. These represent the work
ers in comforting with the company.
The organization is carried on at
no expense to the members, the com
pany supplying stationary, meeting
rooms and other incidentals.
The Brooklyn Rapid Transit En-
ployes' representation plan. which is
now being developed, provides for the
election, by groups of employees, of
representatives empowered to confer
with the various department heads
regarding working conditions and also
wages. Between 1900 and $4,000 en-
ployes are working under this ar
rangement. The company also has in
its employ about 1000 motormen,

PRESS COMMENT
Ticky Cattle Excluded.

Additional territory has been added
to the areas from which tick infested
cattle are excluded by Federal or state
orders. The Maryland State Board
of Agriculture recently promulgated
the following:
ION and after this date (June ~
no cattle originating in any area under
Federal quarantine on account Of
southern, splenetic or Texas fever
shall be transported or driven into
Maryland, and transportation com
panies are hereby notified not to ac-
cept shipments of such cattle when
consigned to any point in this state.
As a result of this order, says a
bulletin issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture, the south
ern quarantine pens at the Union
Stockyards, Baltimore, and at the
plant of the J. A. Whitfield Company;
Frederick, Nd, have been cleaned, dis
infected and dismantled. Similar ac-
ton has been taken at the Union Stock
Yards at Benning, D. c., and at the
plant of the Carolina Packing Com
pany, Wilmington, N. c. AT none of
these stockyards or quarantine pens
will any cattle from quarantine
areas be received or accepted in the
future; which means, simply that no
cattle from such quarantine areas can
be shipped in North Carolina, Mary
land or the District of Columbia, for
any purpose.
The market for Florida cattle is
rapidly being curtailed. More and
more states are erecting bars against
the admission of cattle from this state
and even hides of this state find no
market anywhere buyers declaring
they have no use for hides from tick
infested cattle. Texas and Louisiana;
Mississippi and Alabama, and practi-
cally all of the southern states long
since established guarantees against
Florida's ticky cattle, At the present
time only Cuba remains open to the
undipped, tick-infested cattle from
this state. For this condition the cat
tlemen have only themselves to thank
or to blame. Compulsory dipping,
and hearty cooperation of the cattle
interests with the Federal government
in tick eradication work would speed
lily result in lifting these bars and
opening markets now closed. Natu-
rally, such cooperation would entail
some additional expenditure on the
part of the cattlemen. 1t would en-
tail the payment of taxes on the cat
tie, instead of on only a few. 1t would
insure that cattlemen should know ex-
actly how many head of cattle they
owned. 1t would necessitate the grad
ing of beef cattle throughout the state.
But it would open the markets of the
whole United States to Florida cattle
instead of keeping all markets closed,
except those of Cuba. And it may as
we'll be recognized right now that un-
til the stockmen of Florida recognize
this fact, and acquiesce in the rulings
of the Federal government, the real,
paying markets in the north will re-
main closed. No amount of argument
is going to change that fact; only
hearty and complete cooperation in
tick eradication work of the govern
ment for the benefit of everybody,
will result in lifting the bars.-Fort
Myers Press.

DELIGHTFUL RELIEF
FOR BILI0USNESS
Nauseating catharties Unnecessary
and Often Very Harmful.

When you notice that your tongue is
becoming coated, your breath heavy or
feverish, your skin sallow, your mind
and body sluggish, or when you suffer
frequently with bilious headaches, you
should promptly correct the cause,
which is a torpid liver and inactive
bowels. This condition is popularity
known as biliousness and is usually
associated with constipation, indiges-
ton, dyspepsia, headache, backache,
etc.
Don't make the mistake of goading
your liver with calomel or other nau-
seating cathartics. You will get much
quicker and more pleasant relief by
flushing the liver and bowels with
Jacobs Liver Salts. It is perfectly
safe and harmless and its results are
lasting. All the leading drug stores
sell Jacobs Liver Salts. It is so pleas
ant to take and so delightful in effect
that you are sure to be pleased with
it. 35c buys a generous bottle.--adver-
