Spring Is Sprung.
The sun passed over the vernal
equinox without any more jar than a
Ford going over the manholo In the
pavement in front, of the Hotel Atis
tin, Wednesday last, and spring has
now officially come. We had a touch
or real spring weather which laHted
for about five minutes Thursday af
ternoon, just to cinch tho fact. Mary
Welsenburger, who smiles much
sweeter when the sun ii t shining,
smiled so sweetly at us In Butler's
when we dropped in to l;uy a root
beer thr.t we nearly fell off the stool;
a little bird fljtted around in the
tree put In tho I'laza and sang as If
his heart would burst; Will Mitchell
began to ,figure out tho best means
of displaying straw hats,
We skurrled up to our typewriter
to dash off a spring poem (speaking
of dashing off, it is easier to dash
off a poem than to dash oft a cliff ,
and just as we got
"Oh, beauteous air of lovely"
It began tu hail, and we called it off
the work of readjustment to meet
national emorgeucics Is practically
completed and ready to" bb put into
effect at tho briefest notice.
Railroad officials and employes
who havo been made cognizant of
this action or contemplated action by
the government are free in the state
ment that this Is thn true "patriotic
reasons" which ended th talk of
strike.
The story goes on to state that
when the new order of things goes
Into effect tho general manager of
the Southern Pacific will recolve the
rank of a high army officer, and the
lesser officials a lower rank, and so
on down the line, Including agents
In the largo cities.
It Is designed to be an excelent or
ganization, and In the military serv
ice ra'lway employes will find that
the wage scale and every other Incl
' dental dotal 1 will be taken care of
by tho government, which naturally
would render any strike sealnst the
existing management futile and ab
surd. Tho story says that the officers in
the railway reserve corp." will re
ceive the following pay while In ac-
the organizations to which they may
lie assigned, and shall be entitled to
the pay and allowances of the corre
sponding grades in the rogular army,
with such increases of pay as are al
lowed by law for officers of the regu
lar army, and they may be promoted,
in accordance with their rank, to va
cancies In volunteer organizations, or
Economy is tho watchword of the
times, and it surely Is not economical
to allow a perfectly good start for a
spring song to go to waste Just bo
cause it hailed. Hence we will fin
ish it:
"Oh, beauteous air of tovoly spring,"
We sure would think it nice
If folks could manufacture It
Like 3oap, and glue, and ice,
smoke la worse than ooal smoke,
however. A superheated bean a
bean which is beginning to blacken
and curl into itself can produce the
smokiest smoke you evor did hear
about.
No, we did not eat the beans. -
The moral of this pretty nearly was
overlooked. It is: "You never can
Judge fuel by tho smoke It makes."

When most folks sleep

With beating heart,

I go to sleep
And do the same.

All the officers and employes of
the Southern Pacific system have
been sent a notice by W. R. Scott,
vice-president and general manager,
which gpys:
"Officors and Employes: "It is
desired to organize the forces of this
company to meet any military emer
gency that may arise, wherein the
Pacific coast may be Involved, both
to realize maximum eflicency in the
operation of the property when
working under the direction of the
I'nited States army, and in any
event to cecuro to lourselves a mini
mum of disturbance with cur normal
functions as a common carrier.
"To this end the attention of our
officers and employes is invited to
the article, "Officers' Reserve Co., U.
S. Army: The responsibilities as
sumed by holders of commissions In
the officers' reserve corps are:
" '1. They are subject in time of
pence to duty In training camps or
elsewhere for two weeks each year,
or
" '2. They are subject o order for
duty by the president of the United
States whenever war Is actual or Im
minent. In a rank not below that held
in the reserve corps.' "
Rallfloads 'nvolved in the possible
theatre of war operations will be
managvl and operated by the en
gineer corps; railroads outside of the
theatre of operations, hut involved in
the lino of communications, will be
operated by the quartermaster corps.
Engineers especially will be in de
mand. One of the war pamphlets in
circulation on the rtoads slates:
"Engineers now havo offered to
them their opportunity to give their
services to their country, most ef
fectively, when she will have most
need of them, with the assurance
they will be given responsibility and
rank commensurato with their ex
perience and ability.
The question may be asked, Why
do It at all? Tho answer is. If there
is real troublo there will be enough
to go around which means that
every man will have to do his bit.
In package! compact,
Pone up In cans, or boxed or bar
relled, Or even just plain sacked.
And then when dark day3 made you
grouch
And knock and everything,
You could step in the nearest store
And buy ten pounds of spring,
And turn it loose In come Email room,
And soon you would be wishing
That you could take a holiday,
To close up and go fishing.
Our Glasses add Distinction

to good eyesight. And let us most
earnestly suggest that even if you
are young you cannot afford to take
chances with your eyes. The longer
young eyes are neglected the Booner

will put off old age eyes and add

poarance. H.LWHITED,

Based on a loan of a thousand dol
lars for ten years and annual pay
ments covering principal and Interest
According to this scheme it is seen
that the longer the loan the smaller
are the payments required each year
to liquidate it. This plan, however,
does not forbid the farmer from mak
ing greater payments than those
given in the tablo. These payments
will not reduce the amount of the
yearly amounts due, but will cut
down the number of years on which
the payments will be due.
