—i Twentieth Century LIMITED Printed April 1st We have before us a portion ‘of the St. Paul Dispatch of April 3, bearing a large portion of its news under date lines of April 1, and prom- inent on the front page is the “first picture from the South African re- volt area.” Under the picture appears the following: “Constables, mounted and unmounted, are shown charging and scattering crowds during a dem- onstration by gold mine_ strikers in the market place at Johannesburg, South Africa. Rebellious strikers were defeated and the strike was called off after many had been killed or wounded.” But one look at the picture itself shows the reader only a couple of commonplace buildings and two auto- mobiles. No doubt “it was midnight on the ocean and not a landlord was in in sight.” —The oddities_of News— Point Was Weil Taken The angry subway user, climbing the stairs, demanded that the man in front of him be more careful, complaining that he had stuck his umbrella in his eye. The other bird apparently did not have a grouch on that day and count- ered by declaring that he did not strike the other man in the eye with his umbrella. It wasn’t his. He had| borrowed it. | —Then He Beat It— Playing Safe He cautiously: “Would you sav ‘yes' if 1 asked you to marry me?” She (still more cautiously) : “Would | you ask me to marry you if I said I would say ‘ves’ if you asked me to marry you?” = Chances are that he wouldn't if he knew that she would say ‘yes’. —He Tool; No Chances— Husband And Wife Husband: “Where is my hat?” Wife: “On. the wringer, dear.” Husband: “What! On the wringer? I wonder what ridiculous thing I shall find it on next?” i Wife: (sweetly) “On your head, dear.” — Heads He Lost— That's Out as Editor: “What kind of poetry do you call this? ‘Her eyes were blue as skies, her teeth just like the stars.’ What kind of teeth could be like stars?” Shabby Poet: * Her’s were the kind that come out at night.” “—Every Night— NOT VERY FAR FROM CORRECT Marjorie’s “Theme” Short and to the Point—Had at Least the Merit .. ‘The teacher had assigned a task to the children that was causing them considerable trouble. They were to write a short theme on “What Makes Great Citles,” having 13 minutes to devote to the subject. Marjorie sat chewing the end of her pencil, her mind upparently a blank. Five min- utes passed, and still she had not writ- ten a word. Then minutes went by and Marjorie’s paper was still a blaak. Twelve minutes. Fourteen. “Only one minute more, children,” the teacher announced. “Fold your papers lengthwise and write your name and the subject on the outside.” All at once Marjorie came to action. She wrote frantically and. when the final minute was up she, hunded her paper in with the rest, correctly fold- ed and labeled. i Curiosity. got the better of the teach- er, and at the first opportunity she slipped Marjorie's paper out of the plle on her desk. “Marjorle Jones,"” svas written boldly on the outside. “Subject—What Makes Great Citles.” f The teacher opened the paper and found therein one written word—cov- ering the subject more or less ade- quately. That word was: The budget of the soviet govern- ment for 1922, presented to the con- gress of soviets by M. Krestinsky, the | commissar of finance, and finally adoptea by it, carries appropriations aggregating 1,871,000,000 gold rubles. The estimated income from railways, licenses, leases, cusroms, 1s 575,000,000 gold rulles, leaving an expected deficit of 1,802,000,000 gold rubles.

OPERATORS MAY REFUSE OFFERS TO END STRIKE (Continuea From Fage 1) operators is not bright. Non-union production in the ~West Virginia fields is especially heavy. Chicago, April 5.—A meeting of the [llinois coal mine operators will be held here tomorrow to discuss the invitation of the house labor commit- te to confer with union heads on the coal strike settlement. The invitation will be rejected,' it was _virtually agreed on before the mecting.' (By United Press) Washington, April 5—The house labor committee, which invited op- erators of the central ¢pmpetitive fields to a conference in Washington April 10 to end the coal strike, gave notice to the country today that it would not. limit its effort until settle- ment is executed. “We are going to stick to this thing until we reach a solution,” Represen- tative Bland, Republican of Indiana declared today. Representative Nolan, Republicgn of California, chairman of the com- mittee expressed a similar declara- ticn. He was the originator of the plan toward which the country is looking today for a solution. If all plans to bring about an early ending of the strike fail, the house probably will fall back on the federal commis- sion of investigation, provided by the Bland resolution. , PARENT-TEACHER CLUB OF COLLEGE TO MEET FRIDAY The Parent-Teacher club of the Bemidji State Teachers college will meet Friday, April 7, at 8 p. m, at the college. A splendid program is assured and all members and others interested in the college are invited to be present. President . M. W.

It had been found in general that one-third of the number of tele- phone subscribers used two-thirds of telephone employes’ time, while the other two-thirds were engaged in get- ting their wrong numbers about one- | third of the employes’ time. The telechrometer will also work a hardship on the “listener-in.”If Mrs. Housewife has a habit of listening to Mrs. Crosslot’s '~ conversations with Mrs, Upstreet, Mrs. Houxewife will henceforward pay for hér pleasure. The moment she picks up the receiver to steal g march on Mrs. Grundy, the telechrometer will start ticking away merrily and she will pay as much as if she were doing the talking. It's all very simple.

EARLY SETTLER HERE (Continued From Page 1) Last August he began to complain of not feeling well and in Januayy he went to Texas for a change of cli- mate and reported feeling better. Last Friday on reaching Minneapolis he went to St. Mary’s hospital to see his old friend.G. E. Carson, where he was taken seriously ill and passed away about 6 P. M. He was a member of the Woodmen lodge and the Methodist church. ‘When he located on the present farm home he picked out a spot that would make a good site for a church some day and three years ago aided in organizing a little Methodist class to which he gave his membership and an acre for a church site. The church was erected last fall and is now being finished for use. He leaves his wife and three sons, clvin, who is married, and Roy and ohn who live at home. One son died in infancy. Four brothers also are living, T. S. Wright of Winnipeg; S. H. Wright of the old home at ‘Markdale, Ont.; Bartholomew of Chesley, Bruce county, Ont.; and S. P. Wright of Portland, Oregon. Wes Wright was cordial and ener- getie, active in' all the interests of the community, and wil be much missed by his neighbors and a host Friday afternoon at her home, 1000 Mississippi avenue as the result of a paralytic stroke while eating her breakfast, ‘was laid to rest in Holy Cross cemetery Tuesday forenoon fol- Jowing services at. 9 o’clock ‘at St, Philip’s Catholic church.

Instead of placing the conerete on a nearly flat subgrade, trenches will be dug in the subgrade running parallel to the edges of the road and also across the road. These trenches will be filied with con- crete, giving the slab downward pro- Jjection of concrete, end presumably strengthening it.
