Bohemian BiddinQS

During these days of vacation for social functions in BOze-
man., the center of social activity has migrated to the great gray
building at the north edge of town. With 200 women and 100
men plungng eagerly into the new experience of preserving BOze-
man produce for use by humanity in foreign lands, there has been
developed a spirit of fellowship and good cOmradeship that counts
as a rich asset.
Just to walk about, among the machines and to see the spark
ling faces of the young women at work for the Bozeman Canning
company, is a stirring experience. There is so much of accuracy,
close attention, patience and agility evident in each face and at
thtUde, that the sight is as thrilling as would be a basketball
game, or a rowing match. Then, at noon. comes a bit of frOic and
recreation, with singing and clever repartee, to stir enthusiasm
for the coming hours of duty. The girls admire and love their
superintendent, Mrs. John Maxey for one shift; and Mrs. viii
Maxey for another. Entering into the spirit of noontime recrea-
ton, as well as of vigorous duty, these leaders inspire such lines
as:
points for pensve pickers" perusal-
Pursue the pleasing peas.
Persistently plotting pOIuting particles pig-ward-
Patiently passing perfect products prOcessward-
Perfect picking piles pennies p~lentifully in pickers' pockets
Promoting prosperity"
There is also the song, to the tune of "Work for the Night Is
Coming:
Come, sing the song of our doing!
Proud of our output, we.

''WHITE COAL"
By Garrett P. SerYiss

WITH a white arm thrown over
w the Arctic Circle lies Sweden,
beside her sister. Norway. We
who were school children some
time ago, remember Charles XII
and Gustavus Adolphus when
ever we think of Sweden. But to-
day later names and other tri-
umphs crown the iron queen or
the north. As "Reine de la
Houille Blanche" (the Queen or
White CoaD, Sweden now appears
in the lead of the most modern
advance toward scientific mastery
of the earth's resources of me-
chanical power. This is an ad.
vance that is apparently destined
to make the black coal of the
mines a memory of past age.
Ten million horsepower is set
down as the maximum of energy
offered to man by the waterfalls
of Sweden, and Of this more than
a million has already been put to
work, radiating from 64S hydro
electric stations. Through the
utilization of only this fraction OF
the available power, according to
Engineer A. Jaeger. the electrifi-
cation of Swedish industry at
present may be considered as
total. 1t sounds almost like
Jules Verne romance to be told
that a hydroelectric giant stand
ing amidst the SHOWS inside the
polar circle supplied the energy
to run the first electrified rail-
road Of Sweden, and that now the
same puissant station is the
agent that makes possible the
exploitation of the great metallic
riches of the Scandinavian land.
This station is at Porjus. as

far north as central Greenland,
and its dark mass rising out of
the remote loneliness of that
blanched and frozen landscape. is
an imposing symbol of the daring
of human genius.
The Swedish state runs most
of the installation exceeding TO-.
600 horsepower each and it pro-
duces three-fifths of the hydro
electric energy sold in Sweden.
The installations are widely dis
tributed from southern to north
ern Sweden, the greatest station
of all being at Trollhatten, near
Goteborg, where energy is deliver
ed at a tension of 10000 volts
and transmitted to all parts OF
central Sweden.
The impression is probably still
widespread that the production OF
.hydroelectric energy implies lofty
waterfalls, but the great majority
of the falls utilized in Sweden are
Of small or medium height, the
average varying between IL and
As feet, only a few attaining from
so to $50 feet. The immense
number of lakes scattered over
the land is a great aid to the
utilization of the water power be-
cause they furnish ready means
of regularizing the supply. Thus
out Of the 100000 horsepower
calculated as the maximum avail
allie. it is believed that as many
- 6,75O, 900 can be obtained when
they shall be needed during nine
months of each year.
These things are not only ex-
listing achievements-they are bril-
liant representations that bright

RTO man can understand why a

take her seriously when she says
that she doesn't want to be

Before marriage, if a woman
fails to finish a sentence a man

merely relieved.
A man can't prove anything to

dar or the thermometer, as long
as her 'premonitions, her Sin.

are in good working condition.
A woman always likes to give
her husband something useful
for Christmas, like an umbrella,
an ash-receiver or a warm motor
robe, even IL it takes all her time
and energy for the rest of the
year to make him USE it!

Announcing Engagements
NEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

NEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Please set me straight--about
two weeks ago received my en-
gagement ring and asked mother
to make an announcement. She
says it is not correct to make the
announcement so far in advance
for we will not be married until
next June or September. think
it should be made at once. Which
is correct? READER.
Although dislike very much
stepping into a discussion between
a mother and daughter. L must
say that, in, your judgment con
corning the announcement of the
engagement you are correct. That
is, the engagement should be IN
nounced at the time when you be-
gin to wear your engagement ring.
That is reasonable, of course, for
the fact that you are wearing the
engagement ring means that, by
the symbolism of the ring, you
are announcing your engagement.
To wear your engagement ring lol
some time and then announce
your engagement would be point
less-for wouldn't your friends
and acquaintance by that time,
have seen the ring?
The fact that the wedding is not
to take place until next June or
September makes no difference.
1t might be made to make diff
ference; that is, you might, Lee
cause you think that is a long
time to be publicly engaged, de-
eide not to make the announces
ment until later. But, in that
case, you should not wear your
ring until you decide to make
the announcement.
AS a matter of fact, now you
need not make an announcement.
IL your ring has been generally
seen. You may make that equal
an announcement. Or you could.
II you wish, write notes of an
nouncement TO those relatives
and friends who do not know the
news. And then, II you wish,
your mother could insert a formal
announcement In the newspapers.
