1 , THE HARDIN TRIBUNE By E. H. Rathbons HARDIN, MONTANA • Dr. Wiley also will 'become an editor. All our statesmen are mov- ing up. Having passed his semi -centennial. Germany's kaiser should now temper his energy with greater wisdom. The town of Amherst, Nova Scotia, ,is supplied with light and power from the waste products of a near -by coal mine. A Tennessee man wants tobacco smoking prohibited. The fiend evi- elently wants to drive us all to cig- aretteri. se _se_ The fur seal has been officially classified by the 'government as a fish. Well, what did the government previ- ously suppose it was? • This country spent $14,000,000 for peanuts last year—which may ac- count for a lot of the politics from which we have been suffering. Oregon legislature is attempting to regulate the styles of women's clothes, thus setting for itself a task that nigher powers long ago gave up in despair. A Wisconsin professor says that all children are liars. And yet, \Except ye become as little children, ye shall in nowise enter thp kingdom of Heaven.\ A western university is to establish a course of refined wit and humor. To I'titi students by a regular course to I• funny is about the funniest thing which has yet happened in American burnor. New Jersey is proud and happy, for St holds the most unique record yet made. A town there boasts of a wom- an whose hand went into her hus- band's pocket to put a large sum of Money there. The case is regarded as ;without precedent. No one these days, whether his- torian or thief, seems to have any re- spect for the honored names of his- tory. A burglar invaded the monument of George Washington, and not con- tent with his sacrilege, stole some of the clothes of Andrew Jackson, the keeper. Panics in burning halls are becom- ing less frequent, thanks not to fewer fires, but to excellent co-operation on all hands. Twelve hundred people walked out of a blazing theater in New York recently. No one was hurt, and but one girl fainted. The orchestra aided the exit by playing until the place was emptied. Pianos. which were - first manufac- tured about 200 years ago, seem a cre- ation of yesterday as compared with the bagpipes and the banjo, which are represented on the Hittite sculptures, 4.000 years old, recently found in Asia Minor. In the words of Napoleon, \forty centuries look down upon\ These instruments. So, perhaps, do nes eicians The difference in the status of the drama here and in England is aptly ;pointed out by the production of \An 'Englishman's Home\ in England. Im- agine the success d'estime a play would have in this country whose pur- pose was to point out to the adminis- tration that if Japan should attack us 'we would be licked to a frazzle in the matter of militia, and then rescued by he regulars! Mary Anderson, who, when she mar- ried several years ago. retired from the stage, was asked the other day, on her arrival in New York, for her views of the comparison between life on and off the stage. She replied that \on the stage you only play love and romance, while in real life you have them always, and that is the life that is best.\ This is a complete and sat- asfying explanation of why she left the stage. An English inventor has deviSed a process by which it is possible to puriff - reck salt direct, and on a basis which is'not commercially prohibitive, declares Popular Mechanics. Hither- to, in preparing white table salt from rock salt it has been tiecessary to de- pend upon the evaporation of brine. The new process consists of melting the rock salt and then driving compressed air through the molten mass. Impurities are separated and deposited, and the salt is left white and pure. The judge in a meilftitffiAlant crim- inal trial in New York—a case involv- ing the life or death of two men—per- mitted the jury to separate and go to their homes, unguarded, every night during the trial. He said he saw no reason why a juryman should be more likely to be improperly influenced than a judge. If his point of view can be established it may serve to raise the standard of intelligence of juries. The ablest men, says Youth's Companion. fight hard against a duty which makes them close prisoners for weeks. Binns, the now -famous wireless oper- ator. says this business of being a hero makes him tired. The real heroes are generally the ones who are too busy with the work to be done to take any time off to think about their ewn heroism. A Chicago broker, on the sunny side of 4e who has made two millions and married a pretty wife, has decided to quit bushiest; and enjoy life. Is this a sign that a reaction is coming in the feverish American way of quitting the enjoyment of life to live business? , Teach Morals international Awakening as to Its Need IS ) PROF. GEORGE A. COE, 1 Nureb...e•ters University, Evanston. III. I hi SI. ' • I tt11.16\ . . DUCATIONAlL foree, :tic in the midst of an international moral awakening. What we confront may be either a grave moral depression or a new stage in moral progress; in either case a call has come to reconstruct all edueltion with reference to the. moral requirements of human society. The call has been emphasized in this country by the National Educational a4ociation and the Religious Educational association. There is an almost world-wide move towsrd leaving spe- cific religious training in the hands of the family and of vol- untary religious organizations, but at the same time to im- prove moral training in the state schools. In the United States the churches are endeavoring to meet the need chiefly by reform in the Sunday schools. Many steps have been taken toward the introduction of sound methods and of graded lessons. A multitude of organizations that aim at one or another social good are contributing to the formation of a trained school conscience. In the public schools there is much agitation but little crystallization of sentiment into method. The movement for industrial education pre- sents a new problem and a new opportunity. The motives for such edu- cation are twofold; commercial and humanitarian. Both are valid, but the moral effect will depend upon which fias the primacy in actual ad- ministration. If industrial and commercial training be used chiefly to extend and perfect the mechanism of factory and counting house; if the production of mere things be its dominating motive, it will only increase the present depression of human life by our economic organization. But if this new training be so conducted as to humanize industrial relations and moralize commercial standards; if it shall help the young to discover that an occupation is a moral vocation; if it shall increase the free manhood of the producer while it increases output, then it will mark our greatest single advance in moral education. Vapor Lamps the Coming Light By PETER COOPER HEWITT, Inventor. wnat the world is waiting for. in the way of light is simply a cheaper light. Up to the present time light has been chiefly generated by means of the arc and incandescent materials, such as the Edison lamp, the Nernst lamp, etc.; but these have very nearly reached their highest point of efficiency. The latest development is the Tungsten lamp, and the greatest ef- ficiency which can be hoped for from it is one watt per candle. The old lights have all been generated by heating solids, but there is now a new light which is obtained by electric currents passing through vapors or gases of small density. These are called vac- uum tubes, and it is to them that we must look for the cheaper—and for mot purposes better—lights of the future. Probably the best. knovin example of this class is the Geister i ube, which in the early stages of its development gave forth but little light. Recently, however, this has been worked over and experimented upon with the result that a light has been produced by means of mercury vapor that has an efficiency of one-third of a watt per candle. When it is remem- bered that. the Edison light costs over three watts per candle, it will be readily seen that already great strides have been made toward reaching the cheap light which. ..the world is awaiting. Of course, like all other things, the electric light gen- erated by a vapor has its disadvantages for the pres- ent. For instance, it does not give off all the wave lengths seen in the daylight; each vapor used gives ofrwave lengths peculiar to itself, so that such light gives to many objects a peculiar appearance _Under it colors vary and lose their individuality, and at -no time can all colors appear -as they really are; but by the use of different colored reflectors and the combina- tions of different lamps almost any single result de- sired may be obtained._ The future should, however, produce a more perfect light. Decidedly the light of the future is the oKgen- erated by vapors. .The constant work which is being done upon it is bound to bring it very near perfection, and;coupled with all its advantages, the fact that it can produce light commercially at. one-half the small- est cost that the present lights can hope to attain makes its futpre success assured. Sugar. Coated Im- morality By REV. FATHER DUCEY. more harm able for. You ask me if I think we are in any way approaching such a set of conditions as prevailed before the downfall of Rome and Babylon and were responsible for those downfalls. That is, of course, a very bard proposition to go into, as well as a very dangerous one. However, one thing seems to be certain—the moral aspect of this country is not a thing for us to be proud of—it is not at all a thing for delight. If we look at. the disruption of family ties throughout the length and breadth of the land and then study the government reporta, printed lately we . shall begin to realiie just how far'we have already gmie on that road. Statistics tell us that during the last 20 or 25 years in the neighborhood of 1,000,000 divorces have been granted in this country, and that, in this respect—according to the population of .the country—it is said . that we far. surpass all other natiOnst When'tIC - sancti . of Jnarrted lip is treat4 on all hands with such contempt it Keine to 'me that we are scarcely one degree removed from free love Books of fiction which are SUgg , -live of acts that are in violation of God's moral- ity arc certainly very, harmful and very in- jurious not only to youth—though per- haps they affect them most—but also to men and women. What I am pleased to call sugar-coat- ed immorality is always more insidious than pronounced and unveneered grossness. The latter by its very nature is apt to show forth in its true light the unwholesomeness of what it depicts, but tbe former by its enticing method which says really nothing while it suggests everything, is cause for than its authors would very likely wish to be held account - time. A simple arrangement, will give good satisfaction is to make a box in the shape of a trunk or chest, lined with galvanized iron, and di- vided in the center by a partition open ;at the top and bottom to allow for a circulation of air between the two cons- ;partments. The ice can be placed in one side of the partition and the ar- ticles of food on the other side. A box constructed as follows will give good satisfaction: One layer of matched boards covered with one inch of hair felt and finished with another layer of i inch boards. That is to say, the sides, ;top and bottom will consist of two-ply ;of matched boards with one layer of ! one -inch hair felt between. The cover !should fit tightly and be provided with ia cushion of some kind to make it air - :tight. The galvanized iron lining is necessary to prevent the dampness , from affecting the wood and destroy- ing the insulation. It is necessary to provide a drainage pipe for the melt- ing ice, and the outlet should be trapped to prevent passage of air. If hair felt cannot be procured easily, leave a space of three or four inches between the outside and the inside finish of the boa anck fill this space with planing mill shavings or thor- ought\ dry saw -dust. A iubie foot of ice weighs 57 1 / 2 pounds. Otee ton of solid ice measures, approximately, 36 cubic feet. A con- sumption of two cubic feet (115 pounds) per day for four montas would amount to nearly seven tons. Allowing for the waste when...such a comparatively small body of ice is stored, a building ten feet square and ten feet high will afford ample space for thaG quantity of ice, if it is care- fully packed. Fifty pounds per day for four months would amount to three tons. Allowing for waste, a solid block of ice six feet square and six feet high should be sufficient if properly stored. For the purpose of estimating the weight of ice roughly by the number of blocks, the following table will be found convenient: 12 blocks l5'6 In., 8 In. thick equal 1 ton 10 blocks 18x36 in.. le In. thick equal 1 ton blocks 1806 In., lt In. thick equal J ton blocks 18x36 in., 14 in. thick equal 1 ton 6 blocks 18x36 In.. 16 In. thick !MIMI 1 ton 6 blocks 111x36 In., 20 In. thick equal 1 ton I Provide for drainage by filling the area of the icehouse with broken stones or cobble stones, covered with cinders or gravel. A few inches will do on the top of a gravelly and porous soil. On a heavy clay soil a greater depth will be necessary. A tile drain should be laid in the earth, under the 'ravel, along the center of the build - leg. , 2. Lay 2x6 -inch sills, double, and binding at corners, or one aft! 8x8 feet, on posts.

Milk room M.stit: Pearl of Ice House The increasing recognition of the cessity of cooling milk and cream, o tiether for delivery to creamery, eheese factory, condensary or for dis- tribution to consumers in a near -by town or shipment to a more distant city, makes the subject of farm ice- houses iof great importance. These do not need to be expensive affairs and the convenience of having ice for the 'ordinary household purposes should Znd View of ce House. lead every fastener, who can do so, to 'study this question more closely than ever before To aid In such study we copy from a Canadian bulletin the Illustrations .and explanation which follows: • Roughly speaking, ten pounds of ice :are equal in cooling power to 100 pounds of cold water. Thus 100 pounds 'of Water centaining ten pounds of ice will do as much cooling as 200 pounds of the saint'water. Or, in other words, the use of ice in the water sur- rounding the milk may do away with tho necessity for changing it. The same advantage applies in the case of using a special milk cooler. The ice an be placed in the receptacle which contains the supply of water for the :tooter.

Hay should he put on two feet thick. Hay and saw -dust make an equally good covering, if used in prop- er quantities. When saw emit Is used, jut on two feet thick at first. This will leave 12 Inches to spare to fill in the sides in the spring, when the saw -dust along the sides has settled. 7. A loft floor over the Icehouse does more harm than good, as it prevents circulation of air and ki•eps the cov- ering damp. Have an opening at each end of the gable fitted with louvre boards, and have a ventilator 18 inches square going through the middle of the roof to create a thorough circula- tion of air and thin prevent accumu- lation of heat under the roof. 8. Bank the icehouse up above the sill with earth or saw -dust, in order to prevent any entrance of air around the sill. IN BUSINESS By George E. Hilton, President Be, Keepers' Association. It may seem a little unusual to measure bees by the bushel, but it is Interesting, nevertheless, to record the fact that there are not less than two and a quarter million bushels of bees at work in the United States at the present time, sipping nectar from the corolla of the flowers and fruit blossoms for the r benefit of the sweets - loving. Bees ,are not usually sold in bushel lots, nor even figured after that unit of measurement, but Dr. E. F. Phillips of the bureau of entomology of the United States department of agriculture recently made the mathe- matical deduction possible. He says: \I have been taking a bee census to the best of my ability, and have de- termined the number to be approxi- mately 385,250.000,000. I get that re- sult by multiplying the 6,450,000; es- timating 45.000 as the proper popula- tion of a healthy colony, I figure that a dozen quarts of bees would make 45,000.\ If the doctor's estimate Is correct, the commercially active bees in the United States would weigh 90,000,000 pounds at 40 pounds to the bushel. That is enough to fill 3.000 freight cars carrying 15 tons or make a train long enough to reach from Baltimore to Washington. Some bees, beyond a shadow of doubt. The result of the labor of these bees may be better understood when the astounding fact is stated that though the past season in some parts of the United States was a bad one for honey owing to climatic condi- Won's, the crop was fully 250,000,000 pounds—worth at the very low aver- age wholesale price of ten cents a pound, the huge sum of $25,000,000. The stupendous numbers here re- corded would not be possible without the greatest activity on the part of' the busy queens, but thsy are most ardent in their resistance to race red cide. and some of the most prolific ones are now capable of laying 4,500 eggs in 24 hours, and ail] continue that tremendous output for months at a time. The records of th office over which Dr. Phillips presides instances one queen's output at 1,200 eggs a day or estimates obtainable by The best r im the National Bee Keepers' associa- tion, which cover the United States OM Canada, show that there are at the present time in these two coun- tries 500,000 bee keepers, with an av- erage output of money and wax va; lied at 250 000 000. WESTERN CANADA'S SPLENDID . CROP YIELD FOR 1908. AMERICANS PROFITED LARGL LY AND SEND BACK SATISFAC- TORY REPORTS The c , libw, 1 , 1.tetli or the Depart melt of Age icon we Ottawa, Canada, has completed Its rk•t urns or the show- ing of Western Canada's grain yield for 1908, and the reports make very interesting reading. In the three prey- incea of Manitoba, Siuskatchewan and Alberta, which comprise what may be known as Central Canada, there was a total wheat yield of about 19'7,000,000 bushels, worth to the farmer about $85,000,000; lu addition to tht the oat, barley and flax crops were worth an- other $35,000,000. Letters have been received from many of the settlers from the United States. From these, that of Rev. Osear L. King has been selected. He lives in the vicinity of Edmonton, Alberta, and what he says will be of interest to those who con template moving to Central Canada. Every line of the letter is interesting. Those who wish for the particulars as to how to secure homesteads and pre emptions should write any Canadiar. Government agent. Mr. King says: \Mr. M. V. alcInnues, Detroit, Mich- igan: I am well satisfied with Al- berta. This country offers excellent opportunities fur anyone to make a good home for himself and family if he is willing to put up with a few hard knocks for the first two or three years. But it is worth a few hard knocks to get a 160 -acre farm of rich, productive land with no mortgage on it. This province is well filled foe grains, stock raising and dairying. We have found the iaimate genei - ally healthful, more healthful than Mich- igan, and although the thermometer sometimes drops to 40 degrees below zero in winter, yet we do not seem to feel that temperature any more than we did 5 or 10 degrees below zero in Michigan. We like the winters. \The Government takes great inter - et in the education of the people and quickly aids the settlers in establish- ing schools where they are called for. The schools, though graded differently than those in the States, are efficient and advancing. Our great drawback has been the limited and inadequate railway facilities, but new roads are being rapidly built and many more are projected through various parts of the province. The new policy of the Alberta government to construct a great many branch lines throughout the province will greatly help all parts of the country. If those new settlers who have to go back a considerable distance from existing railroads and towns to find free homesteads will but locate along the line of a project- ed railroad they will in two or three years be near both town and railroad. When I first came to thi,z! country three and a half years ago the home- stead I took was 75 miles from a rail road town; now there is a railroad 2.\ miles north, another 25 miles south, and a third is being built through my neighborhood. \I think the prairie country or coun- try that is partly prairie offers much better opportunities than the hilly portions. - Wise Men.
