. time ago, it was agreed that when PAGE EIGHY WOODMAN AND ROYAL NEIGHBORS INSTALL At a joint installation of the Royal Neighbors of America and the Mod- ern Woodmen of America, held last evening, the new officers for the com- ing year were ushered into office. Edward Burns of Minneapolis, state deputy for the Woodmen, was the installing officer. Isadore Joanis of Nymore was marshal of ceremonies, which were conducted by the drill team in uniform. Charles A. Drury of Rock Island, I).. entertained the joint session with stereoptican slides, showing views of the Woodman sanatorium at Woodman, Colorado, 14 miles from Colorado Springs. He also gave sev- eral impersondtions, which were en- joyed. Following the installation of offi- cers, supper was served and the re- mainder of the evening was spent in dancing. R. N.

Ships Into Safe Harbor Anchorage Is the Latest. Accurate, automatic guidance of vessels through any and all weather conditions into the safe anchorage of a harbor would unquestionably be an improvement in ocean navigation, and the change is promised by an invention described, the other day, by the president of a British asso- ciation. Germany is credited with the initial work, designed to provide a means for guiding her submarines through mine fields, and British in- ventors are said to have made it practicable for surface vessels in times of peace. To put it briefly, an insulated wire laid on the bottom of the sea acts as a guide for vessels provided with proper electrical ap- paratus, so that the path indicated by the wire can be followed in the (By United Press) Washington, Jan. 21.—Establish- ment of a system of laws whereby copyrights on trade marks will be recognized in all countries in North and South America, will be advocated here today at the Second Pan Ameri- can Financial Conference. At present copyrights of North American countries are not recog- nized in Latin American countries. According to an arrangement some two thirds of the Latin American countries had ratified establishment of such laws, all the other countries would accept it. A present tive Latin American nations—Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Ecuador and Bolivia— have ratified the convention. Two more are necessary to make ratifica- tion effective. Peru has indicated its willingness to ratify but Argen- tina has proved the stumbling Block. It is hoped to induce its delegates here to bring pressure to secure Ar- gentine's approval. . International co-operation in com- merce and finance was urged in a speech by John Bassett Moore, vice- chairman of the International High Commission, who spoke on *“The Work of the International High Com- mission.” The International High Commis- sion is made up of delegates from all American Republies, including the United States and Mexico. It was or- ganized in Buenos Aires in May, 1916, as a result of a trip there by William G. McAdoo, ex-secretary of the treasury. The finance ministers of all countries are members of the Commission. The conference, which is being held to stimulate trade relations be- tween North and South American countries, is heing attended by the leading business men of all the coun- tries represented. Means to restore TLatin American exchanges to their normal levels are being taken up, as well as the matter of investing Amer- ican capital in Latin American de- velopment. JOSEPH KENNEDY PASSES. Joseph W. Kennedy, brother of John Kennedy who lives about ten miles north of Bemidji in the town of Northern, passed away at the St. Anthony hospital last night at 11 o’clock. The body will be shipped to Little Falls this evening, where the funeral will be held and interment made. Mrs. Sadie Johnson of Randall and Mrs. Forest Naugle of Royalton, sis- ters of Mr. Kennedy, will accompany the remains to Little Falls. Otaoovery of Asphalt. * Asphall, with which so many roads are paved, was found by accident. For a century in Switzerland natural rock asphalt was used to extract the rich stores of bitumen it contained. It was noticed that pieces which fell from the wagons and were crushed by the wheels formed a marvelously fine road and this led to its adoption as a road material. Stride- of Ostrich. Two feet is the usual stride of an ostrich, but when the bird is alarmed and begins to run it changes its minc- ing stride for 14-foot steps, which car- ry it over the ground at a rate of 25 mfles an hour. dark, and the vessel come into port almost as if she traveled on a track. That it has been proved possible to provide such guidance continuously for 50 miles makes the invention im- mediately practicable for harbor en- trances; and the cost is so definitely a form of insurance against loss of ship and cargo that the idea will hardly be allowed to wait long for adoption. WORM IN THE BURR. Worms have gone up. They cost more by the quart this fall. The unpleasant tenant of the chestnut is the offspring of a beetle with an enormously long snout. The mother beetle ctawls over the ripening burr, and, by the help of her snout, thrusts her eggs down into it. When they hatch, tiny white grubs emerge and, boring into the nuts, proceed to fatten and grow. Emerging from the chestnuts after the latter have fallen to the ground, they burrow into the earth, where they spend the winter, making their appearance in the following year as beetles, HANDLESS TYPIST. Though both of her hands are missing, a young woman of St. Louis operates a typewriter with consider- able speed and dexterity. The con® trivance used for manipulating a typewriter is a round stick of wood, slightly over seven inches long, to which is attached a brass ring near one end and a rubber tip at the other. One of the fingers of the typist’s artificial left hand is passed through the ring when the device is employed and the keys are struck with the cushioned end.—Popular Mechanics Magazine.

The indictments were returned on evidence regarding the strike,which isolated Winnipeg for a month and disrupted its internal ‘affairs. “ The men facing trial today are: Rev. William Ivens and Rev. J.”S. Woodsworth, Methodist ministers; Alderman A. Heaps and John Queen; F. J. Dixon, member of the Manitoba legislature; Sergeant A. B. Bray, re- turned soldier; George Armstrong and John Pritchard, both of Van- couver, B. C. One of the indicted men, R. B. Russell, was convicted and seatenced to two years in the Stony Mountain penitentiary. In sentencing Russell, Justice Metcalfe said the defendant had endeavored to prove his justifi- cation in promulgating his ‘‘mis- chievous ideas” on the public, by as- serting he was not a labor leader but the mouthpiece for labor. “The jury_thought your ideas were wrong,” Justice Metcalfe said. "1 congratulated them on their opinion. J think you are mistaken and also think your associates with whom you acted ought not to have done what they did in the way they did it.” SUBSCRIBE FOR THE __ Market firm.

D., Jan. 21.—Mrs. Alice Pudil, who in 1919 made $750 raising turkeys as a sideline, has decided to start a turkey farm near here and devote all her time to the fowl. Mrs. Pudil feels that if she can keep house on a 1700 acre ranch, cook for 22 men and board the ‘‘dis- trict school ma’am” and make $750 in her spare moments with turkeys there should be much profit in being a full time turkey farmer. Mrs. Pudil claims the turkey is the best pest which threatens to become for- midable this year.
