BOY NOBODY WANTS
IS court DILEMMA
Judge and Prosecutor Perplezed
by Case Of Stepson in Tolls

What to do with a boy whom no.
body wants is the question which is
perplexing Judge Morris d. SAKE, As
sistant Prosecuting Attorney William
NJ. Greenstein and Probation Officer
E. c. Connolly. The boy in ques
ton is Joseph Golabak. He is 16
years old but doesn't look more
than II or IS.
Undernourished. small and timid,
Joseph faced the court this morning
charged with burglary. A shrinking
youngster, he could hardly be heard
as he tried to testify between sobs.
Joseph has step-father who
doesn't like him. So he stays out
all night. He sleeps in alleys, old
wagons or anywhere he can find a
place. For two months, according to
Sergeant P. F. O'Mara, he has not
slept at home at night Recently he
found an opportunity to sneak into
a store at 55 Grove street, and with
other boys, stole about $40 worth
OF candy and cigarettes. He admit
ted this morning that he had done
so. He also helped unbuckle a spare
tire on an automobile and two other
boys stole the tire. He lives on the
food other boys bring him, and
sometimes works in tobacco fields.
Judge SAKE was reluctant to send
him to Cheshire. He is on parole
from eMriden and has just passed
the age of 16. There is a question
whether or not he can be returned
10 Meriden. Domestic relations at
home are not at all satisfactory
said the judge. He is not bad
boy, but he needs a foster home
said MIR. Connolly
Judge SAKE reserved decision until
tomorrow.

Weed Has High Rank
in Forces of Nature

Weeds r the wound dressers of
The soil. Whenever man or nature
makes a scar, the vigorous, coarse
tibered weeds find out the spot and
straightway mend the injury. Hated
and much objurgated, the weed, of
whatever breed, is one of the most
useful forces of nature. The farm
er regards it as a foe, the garden
er as a nuisance. In truth, it is
a friend that persists, regardless
Of i'll treatment and attempts at
extirpation. Soil, to preserve its
strength, must be protected with
some sort Of nature covering, other
wise the rains leach it, or wash
away the precious particles of mold
that make 1t reproductive. Man
neglects this factor In his dealings
with the earth. PlOwed fields are
allowed to go uncovered after the
crop Is harvested. Washouts are
left to take care of themselves. SO
IS burnt-over land. In all three in
stances, great damage results, and
much more would follow but for
he energy Of the weed family

men in Great Falls and scores of
men throughout the state is the
only disagreeable feature of their
installation. No one likes to see
another thrown out of employment.
1t is almost impossible for these
men to find new positions as te-
legraphers because of the increas-
ing ISL of printer machines in
Western Union offices and news
paper plants throughout the coun-
try.
These men have been faithful
employees. Many of them have de-
voted the greater part of their Ives
to telegraphy and, therefore, are
not equipped to step into jobs that
require an entirely different type
Of training. Nearly all of them,
are accepting the stu
alton cheerfully. They have no
bitterness against an inevitably
progressive step. They realize,
and some of them rejoice, that in
vention has brought to the world
a machine that can further relieve
the tedium and monotony of daily
labor in order that they may turn
% some trade, profession or bust
less that will be more interesting.
Naturally, so far as the human
element enters into this, The Tri-
,une regrets losing men who have
,een numbered among it's valued
employees for many years. We
Know they are capable of meeting
he new situation, and we wish
hem in whatever new
work they take up. And we are
glad that an automatic machine
will now perform the tedious tasks
that telegraphers had to do, thus
releasing human labor to jobs that
are more pleasant.

His Other Chance

He was down and out, and his pluck was gone,
AND he said to me in a gloomy way:
I've wasted my chances one by one,
AND I'm just no good, as the people say.
Nothing ahead, and my dreams all dust,
Though once there was something l might have been;
But wasn't game, and broke my trust,
And wasn't straight and l wasn't clean"
You're pretty low down" said I to him,
But nobody's holding you here, my friend.
Life is a stream where men sink or swim,
But there's two of you living and breathing still
The fellow you are, and he's taught to see,
And another chap, if you've got the will;
The man that you still have a chance to be-"
He laughed with scorn. SIS there two of me?
| thought I'd murdered the other one.
l once knew a chap that l hoped to be,
And he was decent, but now he's gone"
WELL" says l, "it may seem to you
That life has little of joy in store,
But there's always something you still can do,
And there's never a man but can try once more"
There are always two to the end of time
The fellow we are and the future man.
The Lord never meant you should cease to climb,
And you can get up if you think you can.
The fellow you are is a sorry sight,
But you needn't go drifting out to sea.
Get hold of yourself and travel right;
There's a fellow you've still got a chance to be-"

POVERTY
BY DR.. Frank Crane


The other day l met one of those
all too common persons, a poor
rich man. He owned several
farms, besides houses in town,
stocks and bonds in the vault, and
money in the bank.
Yet he was poor. He had the
essence of poverty in his mind.
Because he was afraid he might
come to want, because he was sus-
picious of everybody, because he
worried over his possessions, and
because he wanted more.
For poverty is not lack of things,
it's a state of mind.
Rich folks are not they who have
abundance, but they who feel abun-
dance. AS a man thinketh, so is
he.
You are rich only when money
doesn't worry you. And if you have
only two dollars, and don't fret
over what you do not have, you
are richer than the man who has
two million dollars and can't sleep
nights because he hasn't four
million dollars.
Poverty is in the mind; not in
the pocket. This poor rich man
spoke of was fretting over the
grocer bills, and the cost of ice
and gas and electricity. He was
fighting to keep. down the wages
Of the servants. 1t hurt him when

CLOSE-UPS IN THE
NATIONS CAPITAL
(By Stephen James)

Washington welcomes home the
President and Mrs. Coolidge, then
staff and retinue, with something
akin to elation. In many respects
the Capital of the Nation is where
the President is, and this city is
quite reconciled to having its
name in the date lines once more
The Presidents vacation this
year extended over nearly three
months in the picturesque West.
Before his famous "choice" in the
matter of another nomination his
friends liked to say he had won
the West politically; now they are
heard to claim that his trip has
been a personal triumph.
The Coolidges come home to al
most an entirely new residence.
True to his own economy program
the President has effected a saw
ing of approximately 100000 in
the renOvating and reconstruction
of the White House Congress APP
p%ropriated $4,000 for the pur-
pose, but repairs so far have only
slightly exceeded a quarter of a
million dollars. The unexpended
balance will be returned to the
Treasury.
The White House has been Writ
ually rebuilt. Almost an entire
new floor has been added, the old
attic becoming a third floor with
for occasional guests, SER
yants' quarters and for storage.
This added IS new rooms to the
building.
A new slate roof adorns the
building, and a new ceiling has
,een built on the walls of the sec
md floor. 1t takes the place of
he old ceiling that used to sus-
end from trusses of the roof. The
oof is now supported by steel
cams and hollow tile arches. Ell
vator service has been extended
the third floor.
Much redecorating has been
one, and the Presidents office
as been cleaned and painted. The
'assageway from the third floor
as been tiled, leading out to the
outh portico, which will serve as
roof garden.
AJtbouob tho S~tructura was
ainted last year, one ley coat of
leaning white paint has been
1ded, to hide the results of the
irt created by repairs. 6

PROGRESS INEVITABLE STEP
(Great Falls Tribune)

This afternoon an automatic
printer machine will for the first
time receive and copy The Tri-
bune's Associated Press telegraph
news report. No longer will there
be a ~telegrapher sitting in the
telegraph room of our editorial
offices, translating and transcribing
the dot-and-dash code which
clicks over the wires. In fact, the
dots and dashes are heard no
more. In their stead is the chug-
chug of a self-operated typewriter
as it responds to the electrical i'm
pulses being sent over the wires
from an office hundreds of miles
away.
The automatic printer machine
is a thrilling achievement of in
ventiye ingenuity. But it gives
one a spooky feeling to watch it
operate. With no Visible assis-
lance from human hands it unfolds
a roll of paper on which is neatly
typed the news of the. nation and
the world almostoas quickly as 1t
happens. 1t sets you wondering

SAVE $500, O 900

A reduction, in six years, of ap-
proximately three hundred million
dollars in the annual railway To-
connective fuel bill is shown by Off
cial figures of railway operation
just compiled. The total cost of
the fuel used annually by steam To-
comotives is now about $400, 00O,-
900, while in 1920 the total was
almost $500, 00O, 900. Part of this
reduction, of course, is due to
lower prices per ton, but a very
large share in the savings which
have been effected is due to in
creased efficiency in the use of
coal. These savings, and other
similar ones, have made possible
the general freight rate reductions
which have occurred since 1920.
Last year, more than one humid
red million tons of coal and more
than two billion gallons of fuel oil
were consumed by railway locomo-
tives in road service alone, ex-
Guiding switching service. Figures
for the first six months of this
year, just available, show a con-
sumption in this period of 40 mil
lion tons of coal and 99S million
gallons of fuel oil.

A GLOOMY PROSPECT

Gene Tunney is in a tough place.
Up against a two-fisted killer like
Jack Dempsey and must lick him
or lose his title of world champion.
Then he would be left in the cold,
heartless world with nothing to
relieve his humiliation but n mil
lion dollars. We would sure hate
to be in the big marines shoes.
You see Jack didn't wear himself
out trying to lick the Germans so
he has a heap of fight saved up
for this last big whirl at re-
annexing the title. And he feels
that he must not fail, al all he
would then get out of it would be
about half a million. No sir, this
heavyweight business is a ticklish
gamble.

A SYSTEM

Forget each kindness that you dc
AS soon as you have done it;
Forget the praise that falls on you
The moment you have won it;
Forget the Islander that you hear
Before you a repeat it;
Forget each slight, each spite, each
sheer
Wherever you may meet it.
Remember every kindness done
To you, whate'er it's measure;
Remember those who lend you aid,
And be a grateful debtor.
Remember praise by others won.
And pass it on with pleasure.
Remember every promise made
And keep it to the letter.

A larger number of attorneys
are eligible to practice before the
various bureaus and divisions OF
the treasury department than any
single court in the country. More
than 10000 practitioners are list
ed as agents representing clients
before the fiscal department of
the United States government.
A majority Of these attorneys
plead cases before the Internal
Revenue bureau, while many han
die income tax cases exclusively.
Many a barrister in Washington
hangs out his shingle with the
sole intention of practicing only
in the income tax division.
This sort of employment, for
some reason, seems especially at
tractive to former Senators and
Congressman. Probably, in addi-
ton to their legal training, they
feel that their familiarity with the
routine of government affairs best
equips them to care for this bust
ness
One former Congressman, work
ing on a contingent basis, obtain
ed a rebate in excess of one mil
lion dollars for a client. Usually
their clients are large corpora
tions or wealthy individuals whose
multifarious affairs are too COM
plicated for one person to handle.
Quite as often as not the services
of an attorney are required to con-
vince government officials that an
income tax should not under the
law be as great as certain govern
ment officials are inclined to be-
lieve it should be.
Attorneys practicing before the
Treasury divisions are held to be
the highest standards of the legal
profession. Any conduct held dis
reputable by the courts in consid-
cred sufficient to disbar an enroll
ed agent or attorney from appear
ances before the department.

Became Great Industry

The metal workers industry, in
trOduced In Colonial times, devel-
oped to such an extent that as early
as 1912 it was said that the silver
manufactured In America
was sufficient to supply the de-
mand. Throughout the last EN-
ury the industry has continued to
develop. For a time American
craftsmen depended largely on
France for designs and patterns, but
in recent years there has been a
notable advance in the individual
lty Of u national art. The work
of designing In precious metals has
often been handed down from IA
Their to son, remaining In the same
