BEATING OUR SWORDS
INTO PLOWSHARES

Up-to-date equivalent of the olden
return to peace activities by beat
ing swords into plowshares" is the
converting of machinery used in war
time for manufacture of ammunition
and engines of war, into machines
for turning out new parts for worn
tractors, gas engines and automo-
biles.
That is what the State College of
Washington department of engineer
ing is now doing A large number
of pieces of heavy machinery secured
from the war department have been
converted, or are in the process Of
conversion, into machines for reg
ular use in the engineering mechanics
classes and the short courses.
A Cleveland automatic machine
which once made shells is in process
of conversion into one to furnish
small bolts and screws for auto re-
pairs in the short course which opens
January 2.
A Walcott 20-inch lathe from the
army supplies will be used for tru-
ing up flywheels and the larger parts
of autos. A 21-inch lie Blond heavy
duty lathe which spat out the big
10-inch shells in war time will now
be used in truing up and overhauling
general engine parts. There is also
a Gisholt machine, and three 20-inch
American lathes for practically the
same sort OF work.
There are the usual run of high
speed drill presses for the drilling
work, among them an Allen high
speed or sensitive drill and one a
Barnes heavy drill, both former
army equipment.
A Brown & Sharpe milling ma
chine has been secured for milling
gears, cam shafts, etc, and there is
an Army Kempsmith for the same
work, both being universal machines.
There are also two plain milling ma
chimes for milling cylinder bases,
and the like.
Shapers and planners have been put
in shape for shaping out connecting
rods and throws of crank shafts. A
universal grinding machine will
grind out piston rings and pistons,
and any cylindrical form that needs
to be ground, There is, in fact,
equipment now for any repair that
needs to be done to an automobile
or tractor, and the short course stu
dent will have an unusual opportuni-
ty to see the wheels go round. +"
There are ample accommodations
on or near the campus for all stu
dents who will register for the short
course, according to the secretary of
the Y. NJ. c. A. who has the list of
rooms. In sporting parlance the fac
ulty might be quoted as saying: "All
set! Let 'er go!"

SHORT STORY WRITER'S
WIN COLLEGE PRIZES

Miss Annasue Hughes of Daven-
port has won first prize in the short
story contest conducted by the Wom-
ems League at Washington State Col
lege. The judges, in giving their
decision Monday night stated that
two others were so good that the de-
cision was close, and Marson NJ.
Eaton of Pasco was given second
place and Agnes E. Beidler of Ia
coma third Honorable mention was
also given Leslie L. Ternahan, Boss
burg; Louise OFT, Ritzyille, and John
Bigley, Gle Elum. Favorable COM
ment was made as well on the work
of Mildred Drummond and Zena
Rothrock, Spokane Edwin Leslie,
Yakima; Helen Kennedy, Phillips
burg, Mont; Helen Lemley, Coulee
City, and William A. Nordhoff, East
bluff Pekin, Illinois.
Miss Hughes story, entitled The
Regeneration, is in the nature of
literary cameo-small, but exceed
ingly fine in workmanship, all the
high lights brought out clearly with
a few keen strokes. 1t shows an un-
usual maturity of thought, and none
of the marks of the amateur usual in
stories submitted for such contests.
She is freshman specializing in
English.
Young Eaton, a sophomore in the
same course, wrote story of news
paper life in Denver, In Which Alex
ander Learns Something" with a we'll
developed plot and much humor.
Miss Beidler, senior in the educa-
ton department, also has some de-
lightfully funny situations in her
story, Poor Pussy" centering in the
embarrassment OF a city girl teach
ing school in country town who
finds herself playing the children's
game of Poor Pussy at a church So
cial, on her knees to young man
who will not laugh-with the at
tendant love story and small town
gossip.
Ternahan's tale, AN Unlucky
Oversight was one over which the
judges lingered-a good plot with
well sustained interest. He is a SEN
ior in economic science. Miss OFT
is sophomore in the same depart
ment, and wrote cleverly Rags, the
story of a kitten. Nordhoff's con
tribution was the description of
negro going through churchyard
at night with the tale moving well.
He is a freshman in social economies.
Miss Drummond, a junior in edu-
cation, had good psychology in her
story of THE Hundredth Girl" Miss
Lemley, also a junior but in the
music school, did a crisp piece of
writing in short skit called Life
1t Is to Laugh" Miss Rothrock sub
mitted two-"Gloves," a portrait of
shop girl; and Convict BIOL"
which was we'll written. James Ed
win Leslie, freshman in business
administration, submitted a story of
college life, "A Hero Made Over"
Prohibition Enforced" was Miss
Kennedy's title, and THE Masked
Tramp that of John Bigley, fresh
man in mining.

Advertisers at First Shx

1t took several years after the es-
tabishment of newspapers in Amer
ica for advertising TO become popular.
John Campbell, the postmaster of Bos-
ton, who, in 1904, started the Boston
News Letter, the first real newspaper
in this country, had great difficulty in
persuading his townspeople to adyer-
tise their wares or their wants.
William Bradford and Peter Zenger
in New York were hardly more for
tunate at first, and even BENJAMIN
Franklin, for many years after he be-
gan the publication of the Pennsvl-
vania Gazette, found his ADVERTISING
columns very meager. After 1850
however, the reluctance to advertise
died away and all the leading papers
showed that they were well sun.

vorce to our friend Davis. | want to
make him keep his distance. It is
hard enough now"
Before she went to bed that night
she wrote long letter to Harry and
one to Abe Lincoln, thanking him for
his part in the matter and telling him
of her fathers death, of the payment
due and of the hard times they were
suffering. Two weeks passed and
brought no answer from Mr.. Lincoln.
The day before the payment came
due in December. a historic letter
from Tampa, Fla, was published In
the Democrat. 1t was signed Robert
Deming, private, Tenth cavalry" 1t
gave many details of the campaign in
the Everglades in which the famous
scout. Harry Needles, and seven of
his comrades had been surrounded
and slain. When Mr.. Davis called at
the little home in La Sale street that
evening he found BIN in great dis
tress.
II throw up my hands," she said.
81 cannot stand any more. We shall
be homeless tomorrow"
"No, not that-so long as live." he
answered. II have bought the claim.
You can pay me when you get ready"
He was very tender and sympa-
thetic.
When he had left them BIN said to
her mother: "Our old friends do not
| have no thought now save for you
and the baby. I'll do whatever you
think best for you two. | don't care

and both Samson and Sarah thought
it would be good for him to take bet
ter look at Illinois than his geography
afforded.
Joe and his father set out on cold
clear morning in February. They got
to Brimstead's in time for dinner.
Henry put his hand on Samson's
pommel and said in a confident tone:
"El Dorado was one Of the wickedest
cities in history. 1t was like Tyre and
Babylon. 1t robbed me. Look at that
pile of stakes"
Samson saw long cord of stakes

"They are the teeth of my city,"
said Brimstead in a low voice. "Ive
drawed 'em out. They amt goin' to
bite me no more"
"They are the towers and steeples
of Ell Dorado" Samson laughed. "Have
any of the notes been paid?"
"Not one and I can't get a word
from my broker about the men who
drew the notes-who they are or
where they are"
"Tm going to Chicago and If you
wish I'll try to find him and see what
he says"
''That's just what I wish," said
Brimstead. "His name is Lionel Da-
Wis. His address is IA South Water
street. I sold him all the land / had
on the river shore and he gave me his
note for it."
'If you'll let me take the note I'll
see what can be done to get the
money" Samson answered.
"Say, I'll tell ye," Brimstead went
on. Its for five thousand dollars

1T BACK TO BAKER
cuse for Selling His Product
Without Using Scales.

A dairy farmer living in ii small
town was recently summoned to ap-
pear before the local magistrate on a
charge of selling butter under weight.
The complainant was the village
baker, who felt he was being wronged
when he discovered that every pound
of the farmers butter fell below the
weight that pound ought to be.
"Have you a pair Of scales?" asked
the magistrate of the farmer
eyes, your honor"
"And weights?'
''No, your honor, have no weights" !"
"You have no weights! How, then,
can you weigh your butter?"
"That is very simple, your honor.
Since the baker has bought his butter
from me, l buy my bread from him,
and his one-pound loaves serve me as
weights to weigh my butter. If the
butter does not weigh what it should,
1t is the bakers fault, and not mine,
you see."-North China Herald.

how they're getting along In these
hard times"
Il told Jack to let me know If I
could do anything to help" Samson
assured them.
Late in November Mr. Lincoln went
out on the circuit with the distin-
guished John T. Stuart, who had
taken him into partnership. Bins
letter to him bears an Endorsement on
its envelope as follows:
''This letter was forwarded frcan
Vandalia the week / went out on the
circuit and remained unopened in our
office until my return six weeks later.
A. Lincoln"
The day of his return he went to
Sarah and Samson with the letter.
''I'll get a horse and start for Chi
cago tomorrow morning." said Sam
son. "They have had a double blow.
Did you read that Harry had been
killed?"
Harry killed." Mr.. Lincoln ex-
claimed. "You don't mean to tell me
that Harry has been killed?"
''The Chicago Democrat says so,
but we don't believe it." said Samson.
Here's the article. Read it and then
I'll tell you why don't think it's So"
Abe Lincoln read the article.
"You see it was dated in Tampa
November the fifth" said Samson.
Before we had read that article we
had received a letter from Harry
dated November the seventh. In the
letter he says he is all right and
calculate that he ought to know as
much about 1T as anyone"
THANK God! Then it's a mistake" !"
said Lincoln. "We can't afford to lose
Harry. l feel rather poor with Jack
Kelso gone. 1t will comfort me to do
what | can for his wife and daughter.
I'll give you every dollar I can spare
to take to them"

masterful, keen-minded man, with a
rather heavy jaw. In his presence,
BIN was afraid of her soul that night.
He was gentle and sympathetic. He
offered to lend her any amount she
needed. She made no answer, but sat
trying to think what she would best
do. The Traylors had paid no atten-
ton to her letter, although a month
had passed since it was written.
In moment she rose and gave him
her hand.
''It is very kind of you," said she.
"If you can spare me five hundred
dollars for an indefinite time / will
take it,"
LET me lend you a thousand" he
urged. II can do it without a bit of
inconvenience"
81 think that five hundred will be
enough" she said.
It carried her through that trouble
and into others, of which her woman's
heart had found abundant signs in
the attitude of Mr.. Davis. He gave
the most assiduous attention to the
comfort of BIN and her mother. He
had had celebrated physician come
down from Milwaukee to see Mrs.
Kelso and had paid the bill in advance.
81 cannot let you be doing these
things for u.s." BIN said one evening
when he had called to see them.
'And / cannot help loving you and

he answered. 81 would like to make
every dollar I have tell you in some
way that l love you. That's how /
feel and you might as we'll know It,"
''But l do not love you, Mr.. Davis"
LET me try to make you love me-"
he pleaded. 'Is there any reason why
l shouldn't?'
Eyes. If there were no other rea-
son, l love a young soldier who is
fighting in the Seminole war In Flor
ida under Col. Taylor"
well, at least, you can let me take
the place of your father and shield you
from trouble when | can''
"You are most generous and kind
ly mani" BIN exclaimed with tears
In her eyes.
So he seemed to be, but he was one
of those men who weave q spell like
that of an able actor. He excited
temporary convictions that began to
change as soon as the curtain fell.
He was no reckless villain of romance
If he instigated the robbery of the
south-bound mail wagon, of which the
writer of this little history has no
shadow of doubt, he was so careful
about it that no evidence which would
satisfy a jury has been discovered to
this day.
On account of the continued illness
of her mother BIN was unable to re-
sumo her work in the academy. She
took what sewing she could do at
home and earned enough to solve the
problems of each day. But the pay
ment coming due on the house in De
cember loomed ahead of them. 1t
was natural, in the circumstances,
that Mrs. Kelso should like Mr.. Davis
and favor his aims.
Mrs Kelso's health had improved
slowly so that she was able then to
spend most of each day in her chair.

NOBODY PREVENTED IT.

Critics of the League of Nations are having a
fine time over the conditions in the Near East.
Greece and Turkey fought.s Greece was whipped.
Turkey threatened an armed invasion of Europe,
Great Britain, France and Italy, jealous and sus-
picious of each other, seemed helpless, and a general
war doomed up in the immediate foreground. All
of this was, right under the nose of the League of
Nations, and the League didn't prevent it.
The facts are undeniable. Then what is the
conclusion? That the League of Nations is a failure?
Civilization is concerned with the maintenance
|of peace among the nations. Civilization did not
prevent the last great war, though most of its in
huential members strove earnestly to do SO. Is
civilization, therefore, a failure? Fires are occur
ring daily, resulting in appalling loss Of property and
life. We have laws intended to bring about condi-
|tions which will reduce fire risk. We have laws of
all sorts, and these laws are constantly being violat-
ed Is law a failure?
Members of the Anglo-Saxon race are apt to
grow chesty over Magma Charta, and to1egard the
signing of that document by King John as marking
IA great step in human progress. But Magma Charta
did not solve all the problems of humanity, or Of
the English people who were principals in the max
ing of that compact. English people of many gen
I%erations thereafter were oppressed by their mon
archs. Yet Magma Charta is commonly regarded
as a very respectable document, and there are many
Americans who are proud of it because it is linked
up with the beginnings of their nation. 3
The League of Nations has, in fact, prevented
several wars in the brief period Of its existence, but
it seems to have had little influence in connection
with the eastern problem. There may presently
less to prevent. But it is to be remembered that if
the League did not prevent the Turkish disturb
|ances, neither did anybody else, and that, while the
League may fail of achievement in this or that case,
1T is the most conspicuous and concrete expression
Of the worlds purpose to achieve universal peace.

TUESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER II. 1872.
PARTY DOESN'T COUNT.

There is nothing remarkable in the fact that
MI. Frazier, a Republican" candidate for the Unit
ed States senate from North Dakota, is supported
heartily by the democratic" Nominee for the SEN
ate in Minnesota. Turn about is fair play, and as
Mr.. Frazier has supported registered Democrats in
Minnesota, it is only fair that they should have a
kindly feeling toward him now that he is again a
candidate for office. Similarly, as Mr.. Frazier lent
the value of his endorsement to Montana Demo
Gratis in time past it is fair to suppose that those in
our neighboring state whom he befriended in this
manner are praying now for his success-provided
they pray in Montana. s
If one were to undertake to draw on paper the
political party lines in this campaign in these north
western states, the result would be something to
which the old rail fence would be straight in COM
parison. Therefore, why try to draw that line at
all? There is a straight line which can be drawn,
and which must be drawn. On one side of it will
be found the Npeople who want sound, safe govern
ment, with every person given an equal chance and
with every resource of the state conserved and safe
guarded; and on the other side will be found the
radicals, under whatever name they are known, and
of whom the states experience has been sad and
sufficient.
