So says Lord Leverhulme, one of England’s greatest manufacturers. “Look at me,” says Leverhulme. “I’ve always; worked like a horse. That’s why I’m 70 and still going strong.” | There’s food for thought for you, if you hope to| get enough money ahead that you can retire when you are 50 or 60. Many a retired man would have added 10 years to his life if he had never retired at all. LOST? | That money we loaned to Europe—will we ever'| get it back? If we do, it’ll wipe out about half of our war debt. Great Britain, for one, apparently is in better financial condition than most of us realize. Although Great Britain has sold a lot of her foreign securities during the war, she still has $15,000,000,000 invested abroad—$3 for every $1! it owes. The British national income is about’ $22,000,- 000,000 a year. That’s 83 per cent more than in 1913. The average banker would call that pretty good security. SPEED A Cincinnati woman has just received from Dayton a post-card that was en route 16 years. And Charles Boston, of Lorain, O., has just re- ceived a card that started from Cumberland, 0O., July 15, 1910. Some will say that Will Hays is stirring up the postal service. Others will pounce on these in- stances of late delivery and lambaste the whole postal system. Says : Yet for every letter that gets lost in the mails, think of the millions that are delivered promptly. But that’s the way it goes. The world often judges a man by his mistakes ‘and overlooks his good points. QUEER Twenty-six inches of rain fell in South Africa} during June. It was the wettest and coldest month ever known in that part of the world, says the Capetown weather bureau. About halfway between Bismarck and the North Pole, this summer there has been an unusually hot belt running around the world. Trappers re- port that a temperature as high as 110 has been common as far north as the southern end of Hud- son Bay. . 7 Weather this year has been peculiar every- where. If Einstein. can explain why, we'll believe he knows something worth while. RECOGNIZE VALOR The United States, alone among the nations) that fought in the great war, has failed to recog- nize, officially, the great part that the officers | and men of the merchant marine played in win- ning the war. | _ Every other nation, including little Siam, has given medals to its brave men who “went down to the sea in ships,” heriocally defying German mines and submarines. The movement which has been started to have Congress. repair this slight by authorizing the striking of a proper medal, ought to succeed. The expense would be slight and it would be an act of simple justice to thousands of men. NO DIVORCE The agitation for more uniform and stringent, laws to gtop the rapid increase in divorce through- out the nation, has thrown South Carolina into bold relief as the only state which has no divorce “evil.” In this southern state a divorce cannot be ob- age of persons getting divorce elsewhere is for- bidden by law.

COME ON, LET’S PLAY George F. Baker, multimillionaire head of th | ‘First National Bank of New York, never smoke ja cigar or played golf until his seventieth birth. day. “Now he is regarded as a nut on both,” says a writer in the Boston News Bureau, a financial! newspaper. The big leaders of Wall Street all have hobbies |— something at which they can play like boys.} |No matter how busy they are, they periodically ‘thrust all work aside and relax in some favorite sport or fad. That refreshes them—keeps their bodies young, heir brains keen and alert. > It’s said in Wall Street that the financial giant who refuses to give a part of his time to recrea- tion doesn’t last long. He can’t stand the pace. Something for you to think over. Have you a) hobby—some way to play? If not, you’re prob- | i | i i i | | physical. The favorite sport of Wall Street operators is golf. Some millionaires have their private links.| Others prefer the public grounds. S. R. Guggenheim’s hobby is hunting. He al- ways shows up in Scotland during the grouse’ season. Many Wall Street men, including J. P. Morgan, | go in for yachting. A. C. Bedford, chairman of the board of Stand- ard Oil, gets his play in horseback riding. Harry Sinclair and J. S. Cosden, two other big oil men, ; have a string of race horses. Harry Davison, of the Morgan bank, is another horseman—and | seems to enjoy horses as much as big business. A. B. Hepburn, chairman of the Chase National Bank, gets his play in fishing and running a farm. Samuel Untermeyer raises prize chrysanthe- home rival, in numbers, any small-town flock of mongrels you ever saw. All very, fine, you say, but I haven’t.a yacht or} a stable of horses or money to get into a golf club. Shucks! The millionaire doesn’t get any more| fun out of his yacht than a backwoods settler gets; out of his row-boat. Te doesn’t matter what kind of tools you play; with. A pole cut from the woods catches as good fish as a fancy rod of split bamboo. / Play is the thing that counts. It relaxes you, freshens you, makes you fit and eager for another tussel with work. Besides, if you don’t find time: to play, you’re missing most of the real joy of life. | EDITORIAL REVIEW | not Cmments reProton of The-tribune, They ars || Beene peracl, enw ase, ae See | cussed in the press of the day. * | [Reece cacao ie nia ee || TWO DAUGHTERS OF UNREST ~~ Mary MacLane, you may remember, once sued | Butte, Montana, for divorce — or words to that | effect—on the grounds$of incompatibility.

It’s heen done by three Euro- pean scientists, Dr. G. Geley of Paris, Dr. A. von Schrenck-Notzing of Mun- ich and the late Dr. W. J. Crawford of Belfast, Ireland. Investigations by these three men have been in progress for twenty years, but the current issue of Pop- ular Science Monthly only now throws real light on the importance of their discoveries. The scientists have found that phantom faces DO appear in spirit- ualistic seances, that tables CAN be lifted, that bells CAN be rung and that supernatural messages CAN be received. All this done, they say, through the agency of a mystcrious lacelike material thrown out from the me- dium’s body which they call plasma. What Plasma Is Plasma, they say their experiments show, is a material substance, highly sensitive to light but which can be felt and photographed, although it ig normally invisible: It is a substance that can assume the shape of a hand or face or even an entire figure; a substance that can move an object. And it is thrust from the bodies of ni¢diums? Dr. Von Schrenck-Notzing is quot- ed as describing one scance with the Polish medium Stanigiawass “She would keep her hands about six inches apart, fingers cxtended. and wrists. on the table. She would BY THE POT BOILER This week “The Pot Boiler” had a very interesting’ visit with R. A. Nes- tos, recall candidate for governor. The writer has known the Minot _ poli- tician for-thirteen years. Nestos got most of his schooling in Wisconsin and absorbed in his early career the Wisconsin jdea as expounded by Sen- ‘ator La Follette and the late Mc- . ‘Doubtless he has discarded many of his collegiate theories of government. The rough and ready school of politics usually squeezes out much of the.theory. i The Wisconsin Idea, has been large-, ly discounted in ecent years becat Carthy. Neither of ’em—the lady of fact or the lady of; fiction—could shake off the terrible unrest that; seized them because they regarded the town as a! hick town. Neither of ’em had vision for any! good in life about her. Both yearned passionately for the city, for the hectic or the artistic life of| greater centers, where they would be understood. | Funny, isn’t it, that Mary MacLane came orig-| inally from Fergus Falls and Carol Kennicott, or} her creator, from Sauk Centre? And though! Mary dealt with Butte, not Fergus Falls, and| though Sinclair Lewis has disclaimed writing Sauk/ Center into Gopher Prairie, still, both these Min-' nesota towns should pause and reflect a bit, and; jlook about them. There appears to be cause to} | wonder whether there isn’t something lacking in \the attitude of the people in both places — some failure to appraise those about them. May be if; 'Fergus had done the right thing by Mary Mac- ‘Lane, or Sauk Center had risen properly to higher things, neither Mary zor Sinclair would have jgone out into the world and boiled that unrest! lover into the pages of books. {t should be a les-| |son to all the other towns, and to all people. The : jshy, sensitive young souls abaut us may be braod-! tained on any ground whatever. And re-marri-'ing, nobody knows how bitterly, over the failure] jof the folks next door to understand what is irk- ling their inmost spirits. They may even be mis-| ‘understanding themselves. | Fergus Falls, |Mary and Sinclair? We might not have read “The iStory of Mary MacLane,” which pleaded for) \beauty some years before Carol Kennicott took ‘up the noble work. And we might never have had ‘a “Main Street.” Like as not, we have both towns to thank for a real service, to say nothing of the jernmental state government has beer divorced of: the expense of its maintenance.

It was in this atmosphere then that Mr. Nestos received his education and he came as a young lawyer to Minot. He plunged into welfafe work there and interested \himsef# intensely in church affairs \and / was always a strong advocate of advanced ideas in government, reflecting to a great ex- tent his Wiscorisin training. His leristative record indicated the same trend. aie oe During the visit with “The Pot Boiler” the Wisconsin days were not referred to. Mr. Nestos gives the im- pression of a very earnest man who like Hamlet feels that the political world of this state is out of joint but he does not curse the fate that se- lected him to set it right, and is will- ing to accept the job and move down lto Bismarck next December and set up bachelor quarters in the executive mansion. \ No, fair voters, Mr.. Nes- tos is not married. He is a good look- ing, upstanding unmarried man. Whether this is a political asset, now that equal suffrage has arrived, can be reflected best in the returns. Mr. Nestos intimated that he will not enter the campaign actively until after September 19 when the peti- tions are filed. The publicity depart- ment or some of the I. V. A. papers announced the date for filing the pe- er” took this date from the Jamestown Alert in an earlier discussion of the recall. So the date now set is Sep- tember 19 and the election must be icalled not less than 40and not more ithan 45 days after the names are ‘iled. : ‘ | So the earliest date the election jcould be held would be about October |renown for Minnesota.—Minneapolis Tribune: 26 and the latest about Nov. 1.

She would then make a few passes over a small alundnum box placed in front of her. This, she explained, was to make a connection. Her fingers still kept three-quarters of an inch from, the box, moving along, parallel with the table, when suddenly the box turned, trieddvto: rise on one side and then fell back. “At another time a celluloid ball was rolled away from the medium, a handbell was shaken, a teaspoon in a tumbler. rattled about and finally the tumber was upset.” Mechanical Test Dr. Crawford, an engineer, tested plasma” ‘mechanically. ‘He even weighed it. Dr..Von Schrenck-Not- zing photographed it, and ‘says he found it curiously like the human skin in cellular structure. The fact that these three scientists, working apart, have found that from mediums entirely unknown .to each other this substance they call’ plasma emanates, openes up a.marvelous new field of scientific research.

North Dakota voters have reversed selections as to throw a serious doubt ‘upon the efficacy of direct mass bal- ‘loting on laws as an expression of the popular will.

Persisted in, and the whole machin- ery of representative government must perish, But the political ball is about to be tossed in the air and we will see what we will see. * Mr. Nestos defends his optimism in regard to an I. V. A. victory on the theory that had it not been for a po- litical landslide: for Harding that O'Connor would have defeated Frazier. You can take this kind of political postmortem for what it is worth. It is not original with Mr. Nestos and doubtless the Harding landslide helped every man on the Republican ticket. That is one of the “jokers” in poli- tics. The League happened to benefit by this break in the great game of politics. -Doubtless there are many who feel the same way as Nestos. A Republican National Victory such as Harding's was, was bound/to help every man on the Republican ticket. ne ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS By Olive Barton Roberts * Mr. Woodchuck said to Mrs. Wood- chuck: “We may start at once on our vacation, my dear, for Mr. Sprinkle-Blow has promised to keep the weather dry. We shall go in the direction of blue mountain, and I may as well tell you that you were right about it being cake, as he says the white top that we see is frosting.” “My! My!” exclaimed Mrs. Woody. “Let’s be off at once.. I have the satchel all packed.” So they started. Sprinkle-Blow kept his word and made the weather fine. Not a Nuis- ance Fairy around anywhere—nobody but kind Mr. Sun_ and some little winds and a few beautiful fluffy white clouds in a very blue sky. “This is certainly great!” Wally said every now and then as they went along, mostly in gutters by the road- side where the high weeds threw a shade. “We must be nearly half way there.” But when they stopped and looked, the mountain seemed to be as far away as ever.! But Wally was not easily discouraged and he wasn’t go- ing to let a little thing like ‘dis- tance spoil his vacation. And he’d say, “Oh, well, our trip will last all the longer. But I do hope it doesn’t rain! Speaking of rain reminds me that I’m thirsty, Mrs. Woodchuck. Let’s hunt a spring.” Mrs. Woody said that she was thirsty, too, so they hunted one. They found it, back a little way from the ‘road, trickling out of a hillside. “Um, lyum!”” exclaimed Wally, drinking his fill. “That’s awfully good!” Mrs. ‘Wally thought it was, too, and dran! HER fill. They were great drinkers. Then back to the road they went again and picked up their satchel. “I hope it doesn’t ‘rain,” said Wally again. “I hope Sprinkle-Blow does inot forget his promise.” (To be Continued.) —(Copyright 1921 by Newspaper En- terprise.) t —— been | TRIBUNE WANTS—FOR RESULTS | EVERETT TRUE ~ BY CONDO| EVERETT, CAST NIGHT t FInsHeo Reaping THATS Nuce. rm ¢ ENJOY, ‘ READING SOOT: STORIES, MTSGCF,. 7 A CeRTAN GIRL THERE'S AN SHE DEciDes To & SECOND cHAPTE HMGARS OF -:- , Spirit moves him.
