OFFICIAL COUNTY AND OITY TAKING THE AIR For more than 26 continuous hours in the cold and snow and wind at Mineola, two American avia- tors winged their way through daylignt and dark- . ness to a new record for non-stop performanze cf an airplane. What a world of possibilities can be visualized by reason of this test. i A speeg of 100 miles an hour is an easy enough - accomplishment for these man-made birds; of the air. In 24 hours, at that rate, the Atlantic ocean could be crossed. Or, getting closer home, a trip to the cities could be made late in the afternoon, a visit to the theatre and the return trip afterward, with time left for several hours of sleep. ... ) 1t all sounds foolish_enough now because the im- perfections of the airplane have kept t! (\t machine " - back to a point where its real accomplighments re- main a novelty. § LA Some day, before long, the continent will be det- ted with landing fields and ;planes, builk; to'do the business, will be winging their way in daily flight for commercial and pleasure purposes, attainkg bursts of speed not yet developed.

WHAT EDITORS THINK | A'BUSINESS MEN’S CLUB 2 3 Up at Bemidji, way up where the jackrabbit. sav- ages play tag with the deer, there was formed a few, years ago an organization, the object of wh.lch was to promote the welfare of the Bemidji district. To “promote the welfare” came to cover an as- tonishing number of activities, and,: wl;lilq many towns have similar organizations, Bemidji is cited because the movement was successful despite handi- caps not to be encountered by older and better settled communities. - We are hoping that the Bemidji idea may be ap- plied to Slayton. The first thing the business men of the north- west town did was to_make it plain that they were interested in everything that would make their town 2 desirable trading point and not only were farm- ers permitted to become members, but they were especially invited to do so. Free junch was served, the use of the clubrooms for the farmers and their wives was extended and farmers were asked to tell the business men in open meeting what, if anything, was wrong with the town. “P'll say there is something wrong with your. town when I can buy for $68 from the mail house people identically the same gas engine you hard- ware men want $125 for,” was a typically frank expression to be expected from the farmers. . When that soft of a statement was made,”the business men threshed” the matter out-then: and trées, There 1571 DON'T SWALLOW THEIR YOUNG 19 his offica.not. later than [ ) ment wis' ‘the cordial asiin ToF T having 5 I:' en now, flying in the air is safer than any other means of rapid transit. In Europe, hundreds of phssengers are daily conveyed from one place to an- - other ‘and the percentage of accidents per travel mile as compared with the railroad is insignificant. A little more confidence on the part of the pub- lic, a little more interest on the part of congress and the-art of flying will become increasingly popular in the United States, where, thanks to the Wright brothers; the success of a -heavier-than:air machine was. demonstrated to all the world.

Whatéver may be political conditions in Russia, there are economig influences which.niust be taken into consideration. and whatever bitterness and hat- red may have been engendered from the war against Germsny, it is a sensible conclusion that a crushed Germany is of no benefit to anyone. Germany has her place in the family of nations, and the friend- ship of her honest citizens is to.be desired; she can do much toward bolstering up the weakened indus- trial »éouditions which prevail everywhere. Far- sighted, right-thinking persons will welcome the coming conference and will see in it at least a par- tial panecea for the woes of the world.

Price-cuttiny .. .unfair competition and a hetter system of credits resulted, but the one overshadowing accomplish- d relationship “established \throughout the rural districts, and when the Be- Jwidji merchants learned-that the all too few farm- ery, of their territory were sending away $680,000 a year for -goods that they could. sell, generally speah\ng, ‘as: cheaply as anyone, they. appreciated .bettdr than ever the necessity of halting this need- less joss.> . - X . -Sl?yton lehb well organize for _the same pur- pose..

Once when Popular Idea Concerning Snakes s Not. Borne Out by the Observations of Scientlats. Snakes don't swallow their young. The ventral scales on a female snake are controlled by a muscle just belind the head. Ordinarily they are horl- zontal, but when the mother snake acents danger she contracts the muscle on the back of her neck, which im- mediately brings the scales to a ver- tical position. This opens a slit under the bottom jaw, and at the same time loosenis the abdominal skin, thus forming a-pouch. 'The younger ones dart through the slit and into the pouch, and this is what has led peo- ple to think they take refuge in the wother snake's stomach. 1t requires careful and skilled dis- section to detect the pouch, because the skin shrinks when a snake is killed. When the poison gland is re- moved it tighténs the skin under ‘the neck, and the. youngsters cai’t get into the pouch. In | between the pharynx and the gulet, there is a peculiar, Tid-like vulve, and anything passing-this valve can't possibly returd: © 1 A CHRISTNAS TREES WILL LAST | FEFNETERY.Y Little_Danger That in Years to Come. the Ghildren Will;Be De- prived of.Joy.

A lady, having taken ' the- rest of the company into ler. confidence, told Swinburne that ghe would render on the piano a very anclent Florentine ritornello just dis- covered.
