Puzzie in Profit. i At a recent examination the follow- | Ing question was asked: A woman | bolight G0 oranges at the rate of five | for two cents. She sold them at the | rate of five for two cents, and ob- tained a profit. How did she do it? Few could answer. The.solution was: She sold 30 oranges at the rate otl three for one cent, receiving 10 cen for them. She then sold the remain- one cent, recelving 15 cents for them. She therefore disbursed 24 cents and recovered her 24 cents, plus one cent profit. | Literature. | 1 do not wish to be understood as| condemning the training that helps the| student to distinguish between good | and bad literature, but I do mean to| sny that If the reader has not that within which interprets to him the in- definable something which we call genfus, it wiil never be revealed to Inm by catechisms and anatomical processes. “I hate to be tied down,” Tennyson once said, “to say that ‘tnjs means that,’ because the thought any one interpretation.” — Martha Baker Dunn, Timely Apologies.

PAPER MAKER (By Unlted Press) Chicago, Il Nov. 2.—‘“American publishers will suffer in the long run from the present condition in the pa- per import situation, for Americani| mills: can not make paper to meet present European prices, and Europe cannot supply America’s permanent needs.” h Thig was the way in which the im- portation -of foreign raper was dis- cussed’ by R. S. Kellogg, secretary of the News Print Service Bureau, com- posed of | Canadian, . aml‘Am_x_mcun manufacturers, at'the convention of the Salesmen’s Associatiop of the Pa- per Industry, yesterday.. “It costs less to ship a ton of news- print paper from Scandinavia to New York £ity than to ship a ton of the same paper from Niagara Falls to City,” Kellogg said. “Americals paper industry, therefore, faces serious competition from for- eign lands, not alone because of the fact that foreign paper is made by | cheap labor, under depreciated ex- change conditions, but because of }.he cost of shipments as well. America, though it has the best, fastest and most modern paper mills in the world, cannot suc ully compete with the prices of European paper r_nade and shipped under these conditions. The normal result would be wide swings in prices, which are always disad- vantageous to producer and pur- chaser alike, in any commodity where | price extremes are found. “It is better,” continued Kellogg, “for the American user of newsm‘int] to have a dependable source of supp1y1 at home, at a price which affords a reasonable profit to the manufacturer and thus encourage greater produc- tion, than to have a temporary sup- ply from abroad, at prices fixed by ruinous unfair competition, which will vanish when world conditions | again approach normak’”” . { COTTON MEN HOPEFUL | BEFGRE ANNUAL MEET| (By United Press) Boston, Nov. 2.—Production costs will be the subject of open discus- sion in the first session of the annual meeting of the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers, which open-| ed here today in connection with the International Textile Exposition. A general relief over the prospect of tariff protection was noticed among the cotton men here to attend. It was pointed out that during the war, the big struggle eliminated European countries as competitors in the cot- ton trade, but now the manufacturers of the country welcome protection as a result of indications of renewed competition from abroad. It was stated yesterday that the cotton manufacturers of New Eng-| Jand do not contemplate any imme- diate wage reductions, although it was admitted tHat the question.of wages and labor. ‘costs were being studied. . Cotton trade developments in cen- tral Europe are being closely watch- ed, it was learned, because of the pos- sibility of Germany becoming a dqn— gerous competitor in the textile in- dustry. 4 Indications are that the export trade is proceeding.on the basis of an of cotton goods. ) Speaking of possible German com- petition, it was pointed out that Ger- lent of $4 a week, while American operatives receive nearly six times that wage. . Today’s meeting was given over almost entirely to the discussion of production costs in which the various representatives compared figures. On Thursday morning, Frank W. Reynolds, chairman of the committee on Industrial Research of the national association, will preside at a meet- ing in which research and the prog- ress made in conection with cotton manufacture will be described.

The Hallowe’en program given in the Community hall last Friday eve- ning by the Northern school was at- tended by a large audience who great- ly appreciated the various numbers. After the program a ragball social was enjoyed by all. The candy booth was well patronized and all the chil- dren enjoyed the caldron while the older boys and girls visited the for- tune teller. The proceeds for the eve- ning amounted to $563.50, which will be used in the school Mr. and Mrs. Huggett and family of Mahnomen visited with rel- atives and friends at Northern Sun- day and Monday, and on Monday evening motored to Bagley to visit at the Frank Anderson home. The Northern Farmers’ club will meet at the hall Thursday of this week.

Ottawa, Ontario.—Over twenty million dollars worth of pelts were taken during 1919-20, -showing that the fur-bearing animal is onc of the es. The number of pelts of fur-bear- ing animals taken in Canada in the season- of 1919-20 was 3,000,000. Fur markets have been established at Winnipeg and Montreal.

VA SRE, WERE ONYO NOL, MISSUS LAONY TOO0 STARVED T0 BE HUNGRY? There Comes .a Final Stage in the Horror, When Taste for Food Is ‘Lacking. I cannot quite bring myself to tell tales of famine horrors—the monkey- faced, pop-eyed babies tugging hungrily | at the cold breasts of dead mothers ly-] ing on the frozen ground; the piteous old women and the stoical men; the in- credibly deformed starving waif whom I picked up outside of the city of Tsing- kiungpu; the boy on the wall of Chin- ang who was carrying home a starved cat for food, and in response to a query, tried so hard to sell it to me as u delicate morsel, and such general concomitants as the incidence of smallpox plague with the famine, One of the unexpected aspects of work in the famine camps came when I was accompgnying Mrs. Paxton of Chinkiang as she made rounds to dis- tribute medicine to the sick among the hungry. As a matter of fact, relatively few. persons ever die in a famine directly from actual hunger, but rather from diseases induced by malnutrition. Obligingly, Mrs, Paxton freely trans- | - lated for me as we went along, and we found, in pathetic paradox, that the commonest request of these starving creatufes was for medicine to give them an appetite! Even when they succeeded in getting a bowl of food from the relief station, ran the re- peated tale, having no taste for food. To us this mennt, obviously, that the sufferers had reuched the final stages, where craving for food had passed away. They. were not hungry, be- cause they were starving!—William T.

The latest toy which Parisian chil- dren are buying, and which threatens to displuce the scooter in popular fa- vor, is a modern form of the old “Jumping stick.” The new “jumping stick,” which is | called a “pogo,” is more scientific than 1ts predecessor, which was nothing more elaborate than a single stilt with two rests for the feet. VL) It is made with an india rubber pad and ‘with o ‘strong spring; whi¢h' éna- bles its possessor to take a series of leaps without jar. o The'pogo‘ was first found in: use, in a primitive form, among the Dyak na- tives of central Borneo, 'who gave it that name> It was a stick with a cross-plece, on which certain’favored young men used to perform a kind of | dance at sacrificial ceremonies. As the chiefs took charge of the pogos after the ceremony, hiding them until the next occasion for their use, it was very difficult to obtain them, but a French traveler who saw the dance in progr his return to Paris. From his rough sketch the new Paris toy has been made. Immunity of Teak and Cypress. Of the many timbers tested in a Japanese investigation, only teak and cypress pine esfcape attack by ter- mites.

Midway between Norway and Spitz- “bergen, ‘Bear Island thrusts its head, known as Mount Misery, above the cold waters. The whole island, save for moss and lichens, is almost des- titute of vegetation. Long ago, it was joined with the Spitzbergen archipela- o; the continental shelf upon which the island sits shows a drowned valley deepening to 200 fathoms; this marks the course of an ancient river system that must have drained an area larger than the present basin of the Yolga—Scientific American.
