p 2 PAGE EIGHT | THURSDAY EVENING, NOV. 16, 1922 Twentieth Century LIMITED Must Be Mistaken “William! William!” whispered Representative W. T. Noonan’s room- mate. “Wake up! I'm sure there are robbers in the house?. “Robbers in the house? he mutter- ed sleepily. ‘““Absolutely preposter- ous! There may be robbers in the Senate but not in the House.” —Not Yet, He Meant— Statistics Are Wonderful A statistician claims that about 50 per cent of the persons who go into a bank, go in to fill their fountain pens. Another statistician ‘declares that the other 50 per cent,even if they did go in, would have nothing to draw but their breath. - Even at that we saw a man come out.of a bank the other day and just as he got to the sidewalk he lost his bal- ance. —You Can Bank On That— Toeing The Mark ' Gertie: “I told dad the other night that Robert was the mark of all my affections.” Ne'p:: “And what did your father do then?” Gertie: “He toed the mark.” In other words, we suspect that Robert made a belt for the door. —And Made It Quick— =~ With Apologie’u To Easter Eggs We have been informed that they don’t cal! them Flappers any more. They call them Easter eggs now. Why? Because they are colored on the outside and hard-boiled on the inside. —Aint It A Fact— The Tenth Wonder In the. United -States there are 13,000 girls, 15 years old, legally married. A.young lady of 36 calmly asks how they get that way. Its not curiosity; it’s advice she’s looking for. —You Tell Her!— A Ncw One On Us Miss Ethel May Bradford is the director of the course in bee hus- bandry recently established by the University of Sackatchewan. Really, we have always heard a lot about queen bees, but that’s the first time we ever heard them come right out and talk about the bees’ husbands. —That’s The Bee’s Knees— NATIONAL EDUCATION SUBJECT OF ARTICLES BY NICHOLAS BUTLER (Continued from Puge 1) sense a state monopoly. Schools, coleges and universities tlourish and are encouraged to flourish in the field of liberty as well as in the fiela of government. The former are not supported by public tax, although their property used directly for edu- cation is exempt from taxation. This is the state’s way of encouraging private initiative to develop educa- tional institutions in tne field of lib- erty. By this unusually happy com- Lbination of tax-supported schools, colleges and universities, every pub- lic interest is met, while provision may readily be made for every shade of opinion and belief. In this way the American people keep their ed- ucational system free, elastic and adaptable to their every need, and avoid the hard and fast government- made and government-regulated ed- ucational systems of continental Eu- rope. 5! “Every American who understands the fundamental principles which un- derlie American education and justi- fy the, faith/of the American people in it, wHFigesist gll atempts to break id8e principles, to substanti- 1 or central regula- pitiative, to displace dity, or to:compel “Prussian fashion in- stead of upholding liberty in Amer- ican fashion. “From one.point of view, the faith of the American people in education is sublime, while in another it is pa- thetic. It is sublime in that it shows the American people at their best, in the full expression of their faith in the progress of mankind, in their unshakable confidence in the power of intellizence and disciplined char- acter. Their faith is pathetie in that schools, cclleges, and universities, do what they will, fall so far short of their own ideals and of what the American people have a right to ex- pect of them. o “Education: Week should be a time for re.examining the foundations of American education, for increasing N | Mr. wur understanding of those founda- tions, for strengthening our conti- dence in them, and for resolving to do all in our power to make our schools, both higher and lower, better able to justify the nation‘s faith in them and their influence. Schools, colleges and universities cannot be made by money, but only by personalities; sufficiently broad, sufficiently staple and ample enough to invite and to retain the consecrated service' of the ‘highest type of Ame¥i¢an®men “and women. HEYE : “Judged by the standard of his- tory democracy is still an experiment. In its short life it Has accomplished marvels, but its steady. march has developed many ‘and grave difficul- ties. Let me repeat the sentence which I first wrote years ago: The difficulties of democracy are the op- portunities of education.” The program for American Edu- cation week, Dec. 3 to 9, and the subjects that will be especially con- sidered each day, follows: Sunday, Dec. 3—Ministers of all denominations are urged to preach a sermon on education.

Slogan: “Patriotism is the basis of a happy nation.” Wednesday, Dec. 6—School and Teacher day. The necessity of the schools. The Teacher as a nation builder.

Dec. 7T—TIlliteracy Day. Illiteracy a blot to our nation. No illiteracy in 1927. A citizens duty toward the uneducated. No immi- gration until illiteracy among native and foreign born is removed. Slog- an: “Let every citizen adopt and teach an illiterate to read and write.” Friday, Dec. 8—Equality of Op- portunity. Equality of opportunity in education for cvery American boy and girl.

SUPREME COURT TO HEAR APPEAL ON CONTEMPT (By United Press) Bismarck, Nov. 16—The state sup- veme court is scheduled to hear today the appeal of Harry Dunbar, former chief license inspector, under former attorney general Lemke, covicted of contempt of district court and sen- tenced to serve thirty days. The contempt charge was prefer- cd by Judge Nuessle when he asked Dunbar to produce liquor he siezed from a whiskey runner in Stuttsman county. Dunbar reported the liquor destroyed under orders of Judge Lowe of Minot. Asked if the liquor was in Minot when the order to destroy was issued, Dunbar refused to answer saying he would incrimi- nate himse!f if he did. CLEVELAND NOW HAS TWO WOMEN METHODIST PASTORS (By United Press) Cleveland, 0., Nov. 16—Cleveland has two full-fledged women Metho- dist pastors. Miss Jeanette Whetro and Miss Della Howard are no more. They are now “the Rev. Whetro” and “the Rev. Howard.” They are ministers under authority granted at the 1920 Methodist conference in Des Moines for women to take out licenses to preach. MAN REPLACES WOMAN ON POLICE FORCE AT RACINE (By United Press) Racine, Wisc., Nov. 16—Racine, one of the first Wisconsin cities to appoint a policewoman now leads in the opposite direction. At a meeting of the aldermen the office of police woman in Racine was abolished and they voted unanimously ' to give Police Chief H. C. Baker an extra man to handle juvenile cases, dance halls and other work formerly as- signed to a woman officer: NORTHEN BREAD CO.

ANNUAL TURKEY SUPPER TO BE SERVED NOVEMBER 22 The Annual Turkey Supper given by the men of the Presbyterian church will be held Wednesday night, November 22. The usual prepara- tion is under way, and the commit- tees are at work to make this the best supper they have ever given. .best on sirup in winter, because the; PROTECTION FOR FARM MACHINERY Many Valuable Implements Are Left in Shelter of Broad Skies All Year Around. LIKE THROWING AWAY MONEY Few Farmers Following This Prac- tice Realize Great Loss They Sus- tain—Covering of Common Axle Grease Is Good. How many farmers would leave $25, $50 and even $100 in bills out in the open during an entire winter? Sounds absurd, but scores of such bills, in their equivalent of farm implements are left in the shelter of the broad skies all the year. Few farmers who follow this practice do so with a realization of the great loss they are sustaining on the money invested. A $100 machine left out of shelter over winter, means a loss of from $5 to $15. At this rate it is quite evi- dent that a machine shed would be paid for in two or three years, even at present building costs. Store Implements Properly. A suitable shelter having been pro- vided, 1t is now essential to store the fmplements properly. If the shed hasy a dirt floor, keep the machinery from resting directly on the ground. Place a board at least under all supporting parts. In order to prevent rust, thor oughly cover every polished surface, such as plowshares, mold boards, cul- tivator shovels, power knives and the Hke with common axle grease. All adjusting screws and nuts should be thoroughly olled with ordinary ma- chine oil. Every wheel hub and bear- ing, after a careful cleaning, should be packed with hard grease and replaced. Drills In which lime or fertilizer ara Poor Way to Treat Valuable Machinery used must be carefully cleaned, kero-| sene ofl being liberally applied to all | parts exposed to the fertilizer. Binder | canvases should be hung up by wire to prevent damage from mice. Liberal use of paint is the next step | in keeping machinery in the best con- dition. Of course all parts must be, freed from dirt and grease. 'Then paint the wood with a good grade of] paint pigment mixed with linseed oli. ! All metal parts, except those greased, | must be well covered with the best | metal paint; this applies especially to | steel parts. Note Parts Needing Repairs. When the cleaning, greasing nml} painting is being done, one can nlsni muke note of each broken or worn; part that needs to be replaced. These can be secured during the winter, and when the spring and summer work | calls for the various implements, they will be ready for duty. How much! more satisfactory than to be com- pelled to sacrifice a day or more for repairing at a time when the machine | is needed most! Any farmer who has | followed the abdve suggestions will | gladly affirm that dollars are thus| saved on each and every Implement. Try it and you will heartily agree. BEES THRIVE ON SIRUP DIET Every -Colony Should Be Given Ten Pounds of Pure Material—Honey Is Not Favored. “After the breeding season is over; and there are no eggs or larvae in flle; hive, bees should be winter fed,” says| Francis Jager, chief of the division of | bee culture at University farm. “Ev-| ery colony should receive ten pounds; of pure sugar sirup, no matter how!' much honey they have. Those that | are light should be fed more. Bees do| Dbest of honey contains pollen grains which fill the intestines of the bees in' ‘\\'lnter‘ causing dysentery if they eat {oo mueh or if the winter is too long.

MERGER IS DISCUSSED ‘Washington, Nov. 16—J. Ogden Armour of the Armour Packing in- terests conierred at length with Pres- ident Harding regarding the propos- ed :merger of the Armour. interests withi'the Morris & Co. at the White Hous Armour refused to discuss ature jof his conference with vesident, say he had present- ed ‘to him the same information he had laid before Secretary of Agricul- tureiWallace. Wallace is expected to ask the De- partment of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission for an opinion as to ‘whether the proposed merger will be legal under existing laws. The opinion prevailed that if it ~were shown that the merger would in‘any way effect commerce, it would not have the approval of the federal gov- ernment. Final decision must be made by Secretary Wallace, in charge of the administration of packers and stock yards act, but it is not expect- he will act before a month. | Rumors were current that if the Armour-Morris merger were approv- ed, a combine of all the big compan- ies would be sought by packing in- terests. SECOND NUMBER OF BIG COURSE NEXT THURSDAY (Continued from Page 1) Jean de Reszke, Elie Tequi of Paris, Shakspear of London, and Piccoli of Milan. An extensive concert exper- ience, in American and abroad, has ‘added to the completeness of her musical education. N Miss “Farner is a member of,the Chicago Grand Opera Company, the first wémap to appear in Bemidji from | that “jorganizcrion. * Lpuis Kreidlér, who is-a baritone, with th same company, delighted the colleg: students of the summer school with a program -of exceptional worth. That concert was private, but on this oceasion the general public has a real opportunity to hear a member of the famous Chicago company. The Chicago Grand Opera com- pany and the Metropolital Grand Opera company of New York are the two greatest musical organizations in the United States and any artists affiliated with either needs no fur- ther recommendation. Plans are bing made for a large attendance at this concert and there is every indication that it will prove even more popular than did the op- ening number of the course.
