North Dakota, but one generation removed from the frontier, will view the activities of the anti-rodeo socia- tion with amusement. This state will not be persuaded that a rodeo performance is objectionable because it involves rough handling of animals. The movement against rodeo is based on sentimentalism. The same misspent emotion which organized a campaign against fur coats and feathered millinery because of the cruelty connected with trapping and hunting has declared war against the clean, hard sport of the plains. Emotional reaction against rodeo is wrong. It is wrong because it is exaggerated. A rodeo show admittedly works hardship on animals on exhibition. That hardship is far from criminal cruelty. It is not comparable with the cruelty to animals which goes on every day in Chicago but which} never comes to the notice of the ladies of the anti-rodeo| association. Let them take a trip through the Union Stock-! yards and watch animals undergo a lingering death under the knife or sledge. They will then realize that cruelty in rodeo is génerally the product of the spectators’ imagination. and County Newspaper) CONCERNING PIE The pie season is fully upon us now. To be sure, we have it with us all the year around, more or less. But pie made from canned fruit is one thing, and pie made from fruit which was on the tree—or bush—day before yesterday is another. The baking and eating of pie seems to have reached its highest development in New England. Entirely proper. Consider the luscious blueberries they raise there; consider the huge pumpkins, the juicy cherries, the rosy apples, the marvelously flavored mincemeat. Did you ever eat a New England blueberry pie? If you ever did, you'll understand perfectly well why the Bostonians got the habit of eating pie for breakfast. BANKRUPTCY The Boston Post, in a leading article, calls attention to glaring weaknesses in the federal bankruptcy law and as- serts that, in Boston at least, countless business men and creditors are actually victimized under its cloak. The Post is doing a public service. How often have we not seen similar situations elsewhere? In many cities the eagerness of certain law firms to “get in on” big receiverships and bankruptcy cases has bycome a byword among those who are familiar with the courts. All too often the major part of the assets of a struggling firm are swallowed up in big attorney’s fees, leaving the creditors and owners holding the bag. BEAUTIES The “prize beauty” season will be opening soon. Each city will try hard to find its most beautiful girl. Duly found, she will be given a bathing suit and sent to At- lantie City, to vie with others from other cities. if And finally some young miss will be dubbed the prettiest girl in America, and will be flooded, for a few weeks, with vaudeville and movie offers, Of course, there will be the usual objectors to all of this. A lot of people don’t like beauty contests and don’t care who knows it. It’s easy to see their point of view. And yet— Think how many dozens of pretty girls you see on the street every day. Sometimes it seems as if they’re getting prettier every year. So what would be fairer than a little contest to see who really is the prettiest? More power to the pretty girls. May the best one get in the movies. SALESMANSHIP The “high pressure” salesman is a product of the Amer- iean twentieth century. He sells his goods, not on their merits but by sheer force and adroitness. > ....He is not a blessing. Yet sometimes he is the one who waxes fat and prosperous while the salesman who is cursed ;, with a conscience remains behind him. Every city has something like this: a vast organization : built over night, occupying palatial offices and paying fabu- lous salaries, outstripping the soberer concerns, and built on nothing but salesmanship, of the high pressure variety. This outfit sails along smoothly for a while. But then, 3 gomehow, there is usually acrash. The high pressure gentry flit on to other fields, if they aren’t jailed, and the investors look. blue and it’s all over. Honesty and merit do count, after all, in selling.

(Copyright, 1925, NEA i i New York, July 14.—New Yorkers are the greatest talkers in the world. Anyone who has ever been here would readily believe that and con- clusive proof of the statement comes to hand in a booklet sent out by the American Telephone & Telegraph Co. According to the company’s data New York had 1,186, telephones, more than Great Britain and Ireland to- gether. In that year, 1923, there were ¥84 1-2 telephone conversations per capita in the United Stutes. At the beginning of 1924 there was a total of 15,000,101 telephones in this coup- try.

How lovely!” Impulsively I began to untie the ribbons with which the package was fastened. “I adore jade!” “Yes, I thought you were the kind of woman, Mrs. Prescott, who could feel more in jade than its mere in- trinsic value. You know, of course, that a Chinese artist can tell _ the value of a piece of jade just by feel- ing of it.” With some of these people this i: n absolute obs in, and among the Chinese { is a vice they call le vice au jade, It is the desire to feel jade all the while— to think and talk of nothing els “There is always a mystical ce in jade for me.

Her hair was wreathed with jeweled flowers—real jewels, small diamonds, seed peurls, and col- ored gems made into the flower pete als with leaves of emerald.

Doubtless Hoover is right—so long as the state commissions live pp to their responsibilities. But if one state commission is sub- servient to the regulated corporations and another to corporation-baiting demagogues, and another is stupid and another under-equipped, state regulation begins to break down. If you do not want the regulating power to go from the state to the nation, support your state commis- sions—put good men on them and keep them there; give them the nec- essary staff and equipment, and stand behind them when they deal justly, even if your personal rates go up. The People Ought To Be Informed Hoover further made the important suggestion that in the states where municipally-owned plants are not j subject to the state regulating body, they be at least held to a system of uniform accounting, so that the peo- ple may know the truth and do their own regulating. It almost never happens that ad- ministrators will tell the whole truth except under compulsion. This compulsion is already exer- cised on private managers, and is ut least as necessary for public man- agers, who are under the constant temptation of politics.

Peter was both a fact and a myth. Actually, he and a band of penniless irregulars who called themselves ‘pauperes” took part in the First Crusade, in the years just preceding the year 1100, But the legends grew with the cen- turies, until Peter became the in- spirer, as Godfrey was the leader, of a now almost mythical crusade. From the mediaevel songs to Tasso, he was a hero of the spirit, and one of the few names not born to die. Then came a generation that read newspapers instead of poetry, and forgot him. Now the finding of his bones makes him news, and so brings him back to the only notice the con- temporary world knows. Put hones back, and let him rest again.

GERMS tubercular germs very much like they treat any foreign substance that enters the body. They build a wall of cells around the germ so it may do no harm. Thus the germs lie’ almost dormant in the body for sometimes as long as 25 years before they get a chunce, be- cause of weakness of the body, to break through and cause serious trou. le. It is almost impossible not to be- come infected with tuberculosis. But to prevent serious results, one should keep the body fit at all times.
