But before you apply the strap think of Tom Edison. When that great inventor was 6 years old he was missing from home. him sitting on goose eggs trying to hatch them. Before he was 10 he had burned a barn—‘just to see it burn,”—chopped off a finger, was nearly drowned, and had administered a liberal ‘dose of seidlitz powders to another boy, confident that the gas generated would cause the lad to fly. Tom Edison was what they called a “bad boy.” Once he was publicly whipped in the village square as a warning to other boys. And now look at him! Don’t be too sure your boy needs a whipping just because he has done something you wouldn’t have done. You may deprive posterity of a Tom Edison by curbing too severely the boy’s desire to experi- ment, to try out things, to explore, to discover. ! WHICH? Girls, which would you choose: week? She chose—Elroy L. Powers! “I am going to make keeping and mending my career,” she said. -,“I think it is what a woman should do.’ A wonian myst be fair to the man she marries. If businesg is her first love and her highest interest, she should not mar- ry.” _ Seventy years ago pioneers blazed the ‘path to what is now: Orange township,.in the state of Iowa. After them came their sons and daughters, and still other settlers. Now there are some 800) men, women and children living on farms of the township. But that isn’t the remarkable thing to’ men- tion. Orange to ry about. They built and have held their organizations together by patronage. And by’ controlling. thus the economic fortunes of their followers they have been able to command loyalty and obedience. . Their office-holders have comprised the so-call- ed vest-pocket vote that is always dependable. These, together with relatives and friends anxious fo help them hold their jobs, have TOO GOOD? whship never has had a’ Saloon, a drunkard, a pauper, a dance hall, a justice of the peace, a crime, a constable, a lawyer,.a lawsuit, or a neighborhood quarrel. ‘There fever was a fight in the township, and no citizen ever was accused of cheating another, or refusing to,pay his debts, nor of speaking an untruth of another. _ Orange township covers 36 square miles. Peo- ple who live there insist it is the nearest approach to Heaven to be found on earth. And yet, accord- ing to the latest census statis@ics, Orange town- ship has made'no appreciable gain in population. One Michigan town gained over a thousand per’ cent. How do you account for. that? Can it be that the human beings would rather live in a high-wage locality where they have crimes and policemen,; dance halls and /lawyers, than in a close approach to “Heaven on earth?” PUBLIC JOBS The declining value of the public job should be -giving political bosses in cites something to wor- erable voting unit. Until recent years a city job paying $1200 to $1500 a year was regarded as a highly desirable plum. Indeed, minor jobs at city halls generally paid better than any job a man of the average small office-holder’s ability could get in private industry. emendinbdedaycegnditions are reversed.

The seventieth anniversary of Mrs. Stowe’s classic finds a generation of readers to whom Uncle Tom is but a name and who have never wept for Little Eva at her death-bed. “The large blue eyes unclosed—a smile passed Jover her face; she tried to raise her head, and to speak, ; “Do you know me; Eva?” “Dear papa,’ said the child with a last effort, throwing her arms about his néck.

Record Catches Being Made Most Every Day in Lake Reg- ion—Fish-story Club in for Great Session in the Fall Wonderful | fish stories are. being told in. Bismarck: these days. From the haunts of the city’s sum- mer colony on the lakes of Minnesota come stories of:skill of the anglers’ and remarkable. aquatic feats. Not, a few ot these come of the lake region of Detroit, where many Bismarck peo- ple are summering. State. Treasurer, Obert Olson has just returned to the city with’ his fam- ily after an enjoyable time with friends at Detroit. Mr. Olson, being somewhat new to the fishing game, is rather modest about his own achievements, but he is mighty proud of the fishing ability of many other Bismarck people at the lakes. One, Who Stars Senator C. W.,McGray, who is dis- porting in the. waters about Detroit, stands out as. the champion fisherman of the Bismarck summer colony, That is, Mr, Olson stands readyto pro-, claim him the champion. No visible evidence is obtainable, But Mr. Ol- son’s veracity can not be, questioned. As before stated, he is rather new to the fishing game. One. of Senator McGray’s feats was the landing of a pike of questionable size after a: terrific fight in which skill with the pole and line won. out against the gamtness of the fish which remonstrated with the ferocity! ot any tenant being deprived of his home. .The best ‘estimate of the size of this particular fish is nine pounds. O. N. Dunham and H. P. Goddard are among the Bismarck residents who have proved their ability as fish- ermen, and a Bismarck party met Adjutant-General Fraser out in the middle of the lake fishing for the big- gest in the lake. Mr. Olson admits, that he would like to have remained in the boat with Senator McGray right along and of steering the boat naturaily fell to him.

Mr. Kvale had disqualified himself for candidacy for congress on the Republican ticket in the Seventh district, by: uttering and circulating statements about his opponent, Mr. Volstead, that were prov- ed to be false. Mr. Kvale is a minister of the gospel.’ That very fact laid upon him the .obligation of speaking nothing but the truth about Mr. Volstead, for his cloth carries with it the implication® that’ he. is scrupulous ‘in truth-telling as in other Christian qualities. The people of the Seventh district were naturally far more inclined to accord belief to any statements that Mr. Kvale might make than to assertions of other men not so strongly commit- ted by profession to strict adherence to the truth. Thus when Mr. Kvale falsely charged that Mr. Volstead not: only spoke sneeringly of the Bible, but was in fact.an atheist, he must have carried |” conviction to many strict believers in)the doctrines of Christianity. He might with no greater moral obliquity have paid out money for votes. In qual- ity his offense was as heinous, his crime as repre- hensible, as would have been the corrupt use of money. Indeed, it might be argued that he had ‘done worse, for he attempted by falsehood to blast Mr. Volstead’s reputation among a people so, large a share of whom hold to a strict and reverent faith. ~ 8 Mr. Kvale ‘failed entirely to substantiate his charges. : : Been eating grapefruit or ‘A woman dest hope is to stay young.

WHY Collegiate Gowns Differ in Color and Design Just before the commencement ex- ercises of one of our universities two graduates: were standing apart from the crowd of gowned men’ who were assembled ready to march,’ The men in gowns were of all grades of dis- tinction from young bachelors of art to doctors of philosophy. ji “What is ‘the significance of all those stripes find colors, anyway?” asked one. “Really, 1 don't know,” was the re- ply, “and I have seen them every year for, nine years.” If college men do not know what the’ various gowns and hoods stand for the person who fs not college bred is likely to know less, and the In- crease in number of students in our universities make things academic of wider and wider importance, ‘University gowns are different In different institutions, but all over the country and Indeed all over ‘the Eng- lish-speaking world -certain distin tions hold. Most of these fundament- al distinctions may be pointed out as follows: ; The ordinary bachelor’s gown, the first that the college’ youth owns, Is of unadorned’ black with polpted sleeves and is usually of serge or some other simple black stuff. The master’s gown is like it In that it is plain black, but the sleeves are differ- ent, -being made with long pendants shaped not unlike fishtails and hang- ing from the elbow nearly to the bot- tom of the gown: It may ‘be made of silk, as also. may be the bachelor’s ,gown, It may be worn by a man of long academic standing who has hap- pened to ‘receive no- higher degree; but the ordinary youth would not display himself *in_ silk. Most ‘doctor’s gowns, especially in | —_—___—_} | England. and Scotland, have hoods iWhich, give them distinction and, mark jn the difference of: color one kind of doctorate from another, “Some years ago a commission was formed to establish a regular system ‘in American universities. Their ef- fort was somewhat successful, this in general is the result of their attempt to é¢odify the different hoods, The department of faculty of learn- ing is shown by a trimming of color round the hood, arts and letters are represented by white, theology by scarlet, law by purple, philosophy by blue, ‘science by gold-yellow, fine arts by brown, music by pink, and medicine. by. green. In some institu- tions ‘these colors are ‘displayed in bars ‘across the sleeve. This is true at Harvard, where few. of the gowns have hoods.—New York Sun and Her- ald. PLEA FOR THE HOME GARDEN Why (Every..Citizen Should Grow His Own Vegetables, If It Is at All Poss:ble. Food prices are high, but food grown In home, gardens costs’ comparatively little more than before prices began to ascend. ‘The additional reason for home gardening in. 1920 fs ptt forward ; by specialists of the United States de- . partinent of agriculture, They quote a letter from a New York business tan. He wrote: “Food cogts today ‘are: :practically double. those of 1914, but the cost to plant and care for a home garden has not, increased to”uny considerable ex- tent. The clerk, salesman or profes- sional man who grows his own vege tables and small fruits reduces the fam- fly food bill. More important still, he increases the total food supply of the country. He enters the producing class. To a very appreciable extent the home gardener ‘can solve the high cost of living.” How can the man who never gar- dened learn to garden? One good way is to write fo the United States de- partment of agriculture, Washington, or to his state college of agriculture for a bulletin that describes every step tn making a back yard or vacant lot help feed his family. How Wind Spreads Seeds. If all the seeds carried about by the wind were to find favorable sur- roundings and grow to maturity, in a surprisingly short'time the earth would . be overwhelmed with certain forms of ' plant life. It has been estimated, for instance, that a single frond of a cer- tain fern turns loose to the wind four thousand million spores. Each spore floats with the slightest breeze, and | will, produce. a whole plant if condi- tions are favorable. These are enough to cover 2,000,000 acres of land. Few of us realize the productivity of the common mushroom. A thousand acres could be covered by the spores of one single fungus. Why Birds Should Be Protected. Human life on -ttis planet is one unending war with the tnsect “world In this war the birds are our allies. Without their help ¢he insects would win in a very few campaigns. Wher ever bird life is diminished a swarm of insect pests arises at once, which all man’s sprays and powders can barely hold in check. Cut the bird4 "off altogether and it {s virtually cer tain that all our protective devices weuld not save our crops. When we kill an insect-eating bird-- and that includes nine-tenths of all those we know—we are guilty of base folly and baser ingratitude. How Auto Is Displacing Horse. It has been computed:that during the past three vears the number of farm horses which have been disptaced by tractors foots up at 3,740,000.
