All the civilized nations of the world use it except Great Britain and the United States. A child of 10 years can learn in 10 minutes as much of the metric system as 90 per cent of all the people ever have occasion to use. The ex: clusive use of the meteér-liter- gram will shorten the time of teaching arithmetic to the aver- age child by two years. Ow present hodge-podge system of weights and measures is of Ger- man origin, but Germany her- self scrapt it in 1871 and substi- tuted the meter-liter-gram. Our monetary system is based upon sound decimal computa- tion. Why not make our whole system of weights and measur- es just as simple?

THE LAUSON 15-25 all Gears Enclosed - Lauson Tractors are widely used in building and maintaining roads.

Such WINS OUT IN COMPETITION Last spring nine tractors, large and. small, were test- ed by the county commissioners at Grand Forks, N. D. A careful record was kept of the fuel used, short turning radius, flexibility of the draw bar, smoothness of operation and protection against dust --every feature required of the tractor for road work was determined and’the Lauson won out.

His ability to mix it, man to man, 1s pretty widely known. How good he is with the six- guns is to be séen ‘by his friends, As Chick Ward, bad man of Salinas, Bill steals a kiss from a little eastern lady; is met by a stinging slap for his pains, tries to reform to meet said lady’s approval, but unfortunately bad hombres will be bad and he is forced to fight it out with = | guns, AUTO STAGE OPERATING The Grangeville-New Mea- dows auto stage was put in op- eration last week, the first stage arriving at 4:00 o’clock in the afternoon from Whitebitd. The run from Whitebird was made in three hours, while the best time made by team stages was five and six hours. The stage company is using auto trucks that have been reconstructed to: provide accommodations for pas- sengers with plenty of room for baggage and freight. One stage is operated between New Mea- dows and Riggins, a second stage is operated between Riggins and Whitebird and the third stage is used in the service between Whitebird and Grangeville, “Mickey” is full of fun and frolic. .It sparkles with humor and bubbles with laughter, so that there is not a dull moment. And when the seven reels are finished, the play seems much too short. The comedy is built upon the reality of human in- eidents and situations. Every laugh is sincere, running through the play as golden threads run through a piece of cloth, giving it pattern and tex- ture and richness. See it at the Orpheum on ‘Tuesday, May 18th. POINTED PARAGRAPHS Burning kisses always result from. sparks. If a man cultivate bad habits, he is apt to cultivate earthly miseries. The fishball has resigned in favor of the baseball. - A.soft headed.nail and a hard headed. man are both difficult. Adversity sometimes brings a man’s good points out by the roots. But few, people are able to re- cognize bear meat after it has been dressed. It is said that women shares man’s grief, doubles his joy and trebles his expenses. You can never tell whether a girl likes to be kissed or not un- less you get it from her own lips. Always look on the bright side of things—and if you are buying them look on both sides. Time may be money, but somehow your friends always appreciate the money you spend on them more than the time. Don’t tell a woman you take her to be an artist, judging by her face, unless you are looking for trouble. The heart interest in “Mickey” has never before been surpassed in motion picture his- tory. Although the incidents attending Mickey’s courtship are unusual, they are as beauti- fully human and natural as love itself. The glorious romance, which starts in the early scenes, holds and fascinates to a happy ending. There is a deep, heart- felt appeal in the unaffected, wholesome love of this adorable Can Handle Your Job Work. Try Us| little girl. -See it at the Or- pheum on Tuesday, May 13th.
