Redfield, former secre- tary of commerce, says that he can re- call with microscopic distinctions the moment that gave himthe biggest thrill of delight in his whole life. It was when he was going to school and try- ing to master long division. Three or four aisles over from where he sat a boy yawned. It.was not an ordinary yawn, but one of such genu- ine expression of feeling toward things in general that it attracted Redfield’s attention. He was fortunate in having a paper wad right at hand, ready for any emer- gency, and lie aimed this at the boy’s cavernous mouth, By one of those rare exhibitions of magnanimity on the part of an inanimate object, the wad went right square into the goal, and Redfield’s joy knew no bounds. He had played the one. chance in-a million and won. 8 Encouraged by his dexterity in that Instance, Redfield then tried throwing rings at knives at county fairs, but never again did he exhibit such won- drous almn. Caruso of China, \'fA WIND OF LOW MNSELF ‘THE BEMIDJI DALy FIONE =/ 1] Scramble for a Iiving. DBut, though China is a land of musical voices (as anyone will testify who. has listened to the songs of the hawker and the coolie), the boy Lou stood alone. He had the most wonderful voice among 400,000,000 Chinese. Despite this, he had to work hard before he became great. For many years he was a mum- mer—a Chinese actor. Ten years ago he was “discovered” in Shanghal. At once he quit the paint wnd weird garb of a Chinese actor and became 2 mu- slcal star. By odd .coincidence, the great Chinese tenor dled from a burst blood vessel in his threat, similar to that which threatened to take the life of Caruso, now convalescent. Fox Ranching in Europe. f Although it is not generally known, quite a number of foxes were sold last year to parties residing in Europe, mainly throughout Sweden, Norway and Switzerland. - One rancher who has supplied a number of palrs to these KEuropeans, states that the in- dustry is spreading in a truly wonder- ful manner in these countries, and that this year he expects to be able to sell practically all his foxes abroad. There is only one drawbaek at present to a general spread of the industry there, and that is the rather high cost of feeding, but this is being overcome, and the sale of breeding stock at good prices will amply cover the higher ex- more pleasing than if it were a straight line.

CHIEF EXECUTIVES AT PLAY Occupants of the White House Have Sought Recreation in All Forms of Strenuousness. It 1s said that President Harding is the best golfer who ever lived In the White House. Though he only took up the game three years ago, he can | get round the Chevy Chase course at Washington in 95, bogey being T1. Mr. Wilson, thaugh at one time a | very good walker, was never keen on | games, with the one exception of lawn tennfs. He played a sound game’ of lawn tennis. e Is a good mechanic and las on occasion shown that he could drive a locomotive, The late Mr. Roosevelt was by far the most athletic man who ever sat in the presidentinl chair of the United States. Some of his feats were extra- ordinary. So lately as 1909 he rode 08 miles fn 17 hours over slushy Vir- ginlan roads. He never stopped any- where for more than ten minutes, ex- cept once, at midday, for lunch and to rest his horse. He was a skillful boxer and a fine fencer. Some eightecn years ago he received n bud wound' over the eye in a fencing bout. The button of his op- ponent's foil broke off. “Big BW” Taft, who was one of the heaviest of United States Presidents, took up boxing in. order to get his welght down, and was successful in reducing himself, Fishing is a sport which many Pres- jdents have enjoyed, among them Ben- jamin Harrison and Mr. Cleveland.

There can be no doubt of the position of the good roads movement in the solution of the problem. I believe that Federal and State Governments must not only create good roads but they must insist upon the maintenance of good roads. A good road gone wrong is a streak of memorial to neglect and waste. The roads we build must be built for use in the distribution of products rather than for merely pleasure riding. We must foster the use of motor trucks.”” d The expression of the chief exécutive of our nation is !aut a confirmatiop of the cxperiences of the Standard Oil Company (Indlar!a) in the conduct of its busine. . The problems of distribution are of paramount importance and in effecting this distribution, zood,“‘ ‘roads are a primary essential. < . The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has in opera- " tion more than 4000 motor trucks engaged in distribut- ing gasoline, kerosene, and lubricating oils to ultimate consumers in 11 Middle Western States. It is the business of this department to attempt to furnish Standard Oil products to whoever may require them, wherever he may live. ‘To supplement the tank: wagon, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) maintains a network of service stations, located on the main traveled highways, every few miles in the country and every few blocks in the city. Through its highly specialized organization, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) manufactures from crude petroleum the three factors necessary to a solu- tion of the problems of distribution. Stanolind Paving Asphalt for good roads—enduring roads. Red Crown, the high-grade gasoline, for power—tremendous power. Polarine, the ‘perfect motor oil, for lubrication—correct lubrication. In the manufacture of these products, the Company ., has set as a measure of value, specifications which it believes insure the user the utmost of service at a mini- mum of expense. Its products are made to exact stand- ards, and these standards are based upon a careful, exhaustive study of the conditions under which they will be used. All are uniform in quality and go to the consumer with the Company’s guarantee that they are exactly as represented. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 S.

A new method of meeting church ex- penses {s told by the London Morning Post, which reports that collections have recently been entirely abolished at the parish church of Fulham, in London, except for speclal occasions for objects not connected with the parish, Church expenses will be met out of a special fund which has been formed and to which every member of the congregation is asked to contribute a definite sum weekly. The expen- ment is said to be the first of its kind so far as the Church of England is concerned, but the vicar of Prittlewell, who was secretary of last year's church congress at' Southend, has for some time had a very successful spec- ial fund at his church, if he has not entirely abolished the ordinary col- lections. —_— Conscience Not Emphatic Enough, ' “De voice of conscience ain’ Ioud enough for most men,” gaild Uncle Lben, “Dey needs an alarm elock.” i Early President’s Long Life.
