Hutchings, sits in . a room at Harvard University. For three hours 13 professors direct at him a ‘rapid-fire of ques- tions in the form of an examination in “Romance languages and literature.” 1 Hutchings answers every question—promptly, * accurately. w. It is such a phenomenal showing that the tele- graph wires carry his victory to newspapers all 4 over the country. : Hutchings, it is, disqlosd, is an expert in 15 ? languages. That is ‘interesting news, for most of + us have difficulty handling one language. wae Without disparaging Hutchings’s admirable feat, few people need envy him, for the very sim- ple reason! that, few people ever have occasion to use 15 languages. Life is short. It is a hard and constant strug- gle for most ‘pedple to keep away from the bread- line. The limited time available to the average person for study must be devoted largely to prac- tical things. 3 Later, if automatic machinery frees man from slavery of muscles, concentration and time, pure- ly intellectual or cultured pursuits will be desir- : able for all. ‘ * It used to be that all education was akin to pumping 15 languages into the individual brain. Steadily we shift to the goal of teaching people = how to find knowledge when they need it—where . to look for it and how to understand it—rather than attempting to cram the brain with informa- ? tion rarely used. wee If some one asks you where Liberia is, it affords a thrill to be able to answer. More important is the ability to know how to ascertain Liberia’s geographical location quickly, when there is occa- + gion to use the information. Obviously, theré are exceptions, the greatest ? being science. No man can get into his brain too much knowledge about astronomy, biology, psy- chology, dimensional mathematics and other ‘forms of original truth. Those are the great messages worth receiving and retaining. Language is merely the box that holds them. Learning’ two languages is like learn- ing penmanship and typewriting, which are ‘mere- ly two different systems for conveying the same = pieces of information. Thinking comes with knowledge. But the abil- ity to think and to locate information when it is needed is more valuable than having the brain “cluttered with what, for all practical purposes, is --useless information. This is materialistic philosophy. But it’s a ma- “terial wor Se NN sane i = CORKSCREWS ss Some on€ brings out a bottle of liquor. The “crowd waits impatiently whlie there’s a search for. a corkscrew. 2 Corkscrews, once as plentiful as. sparrows, seems to be. graduallysgoing out of circulation. “Their scarti otgmared with old-time saloon <adays, indicates t! hibition is steadily getting in its work. Any one who has ever been on a camping trip, with a bottle of hooch and no corkscrew, will agree that the quickest. way to make the country dry --would be to destroy all corkscrews. 4 The passing of the humble corkscrew is as sig- “nificant as the vanishing of jazz bands. HEALTH _ Sawyer, physician to President Harding, pre- dicts that future doctors will be paid “for keep- ing people well rather than for caring for them when they are sick.” That is the Chinese system. Over there, a doc- tor is paid so much a day as long as the patient is well. On days when the patient is sick, Doe gets no pay, which gives Doc an incentive to do his work thoroughly and not overlook any bets. It wouldn’t work in our country, where people usually stay away from the doctor until they are afraid of making the undertaker’s acquaintance. We cure, the Chinese prevent. 4 FREIGHT RATES : Barron, financial expert, says: Kresge Bldg.

AND REVOLVERS— America depends largely on the railroads. High freight rates have had the same effect on middle west wheat growers as if they had been moved 1000 miles farther inland from seaboard. That is why there is so much discussion about freight rates. Economics may be a dry study, but it is as vital as sleep. OVERLOOKED Have you ever done a piece of work, conscious at the time that something was vitally wrong with it, but unable to figure.oyt the defect until the job was finished? The “feeling that something is wrong” floats up vapor-like from the subconscious mind, one of avery person’s two brains. A Toronto doctor toiled evenings for two wint- ers, building in his cellar an 18-foot motorboat for Muskoka Lakes. All that time, he was conscious that something was wrong, but could not figure it out, though he pondered in detail everything from engine to paint. When it came time to take the boat to the freight train, he abruptly learned what had both- ered his subconscious brain: There was no way of getting the boat out of the cellar, except by tearing a big hole in the foundations of the house and digging a deep opening to the outside. LENIN Leading German doctors grab their pill satchels and rush to Lenin, who is bothered lately by acute gastritis “ This means, that at some time or other Lenin has abused his stomach. A hyper-thyroid of his type usually eats too much, in the attempt to gen- erate excessive energy. i : “Three-fourths of our sickness is due to what we eat. Many health rules.in-this world. The best is: Find out what foods do not agree with you. Then never touch them. One man’s meat is an- other man’s poison. Good rule for Lenin — for all'of us. WHISKEY * Haynes, head of the rum sleuths, reports that 2,627,333 gallons of whiskey were withdrawn from government bonded warehouses in nine re- cent months. This-was at the rate of:only 26 gallons for each 97 gallons withdrawn in the corresponding period a year before. The abrupt falling-off is another. illustration of how “prohibition is a failure.” -It will not be many’years, at this rate, until the little old United States will be as dry as a mouthful of chalk. NERVES A jail prisoner in New York is found dead and his cellmate tells police that he beat him to death because “He was making too much noise and I |wanted to sleep.”: Some of the rest of us have had a similar im- pulse on such occasions as when a neighbor plays his phonograph “after hours.” How much worse is the actual deed than com- mitting a crime or transacting evil mentally?

His father was killed in the Border war if, Kan- sas, which lasted from 1854 to 1859. Cody was a pony express rider in 1860 and 1861. For the next four years he served as a government scout and guide and as a member of the Seventh Kansas cavalry, His name, “Buffalo Bill,” originated lfrom the fact that he furnished the Kansas- Pacific railway with all the buffalo meat required to feed the laborers engaged in its construction. In 18 months, in 1867 and 1868, he killed 4,280 buffaloes. From 1868 to 1872 he was again in government service, serving as scout and guide in cperations against the Sioux and Cheyennes.

Cob’s knocker on the basement door. But no answer. “He’s too sound asleep to hear us,” said Nancy. “We'll have to go to his other door upstairs.” So they wished themselves up the old Oak Tree in their Green Shoes. Cob had his second story door open for air and his bed close to the door- way. There he was, all cuddled up and snoring like everything. “Ahem!” went Nick loudly. Cob woke right up. “Who’s there?” he called sharply. “Just us,” laughed Nancy. “Did we scare you?” “Sort of,”.. yawned Cob. “But what’s wrong, folks?” “We just came to see if you’d seen anything of Peerabout, the Man-in- the-Moon. He’s lost,” said Nick. “Hee, hee, hee” giggled Cob, clasp- ing his hands joyfully, “That’s just fine! Now I ‘s’pose the nebby old Moon will be stored away in camphor balls and not bother me any more. “Why, look at it tonight. Bright as a sky-rocket!

Robinson) June 16, 1922, The press report is that Mr, Stegner, candidate for Gov- ernor, avows that if clected he will use every effort to undo the abomin- able tax bondage and to go back te the conditions wh‘ch prevailed severa: years ago. That is precisely what we attempted by means of initiative pe- titions, to submit to the voters at the June Primary, but as the petitions were not given circulation by Mr. ‘Stegner or by‘ other politicians they were not signed by.ten thousand vot- ers. Most everyone seemed, disposed to bear h’s share of th? burden rather than to make the least effort to throw it off. The “investors,” the twelve per centers, and some tax receivers made a special effort to. prevent the submission of the measures. But why await the long deforred and and uncertain action of a legis- jature or a constitutional: convention? Now is the accepted time; now is the time for relief, The available and practical. means of reform is by the submission of good init‘ative measures to the voters at the November elec- tion. For the submission of such Measures Mr. Stegner and a few pub- lic spirited citizens should be able to “secure the signatures of ten thous- and voters dur'ng the month of July, :Petilions must be filed ninety days before the election. Mr. Stegner wants to scrap, undo or put on a different footing the bank and state enterprises.: It does seem that under a proper law, similar to the Federal Reszrve Act, it is pos- sible to incorporate the Bank of North Dakota and any state enterprisc with a union of public and private capital and control and d‘rectors chosen by the stockholders the same as the directors of \the Federal Re- serve Banks. Those banks make money for the Government as well as for the stockholders. They are not tainted with Socialism or public in- fluences. They pub‘ish a daily report of their doings, They do not love darkness rather than I'ght. In all matiers of state, under any adminis- tration, there is commonly too much darkness, too much squandering of both time and money. By all means let us have some good initiative measur’s for the November election. Let us go. back to the-constitutional system and levy no tax only on as- sessed valuations made to assure a ret annual profit of six per cet.

Chums for years, they had worked, played and lived to- gether. Sometimes they quarreled, But it was a.ways a.-friendly titt which was soon forgotten. One day the friend was found mur- dered in a rice field. By his side were Boynton’s pistols, The authorities rushed. to the boys’ room. Boynton was asleep.
