An hour it seemed the two moose had battled, neither appearing to gain a point of advantage. Their sides showed red gashes from the savage ripping of horn points.

Continuing she said: “Education in the West is more ad- vanced than education in Boston. We have lost our leadership. Nowadays it is the West that is typically Amer- ican. Boston is English; New York is Frenchy.” This impression is without doubt held by a large per- centage of the visitors to the West this year. Senator Gore, of Okla- homa, is quoted as saying that the middle West will dominate political and commercial America in the next decade; that it will dictate the gov- ernment policies and the East will meekly take what is given it. The West is just really learning its pow- ers. Its problem will be to use these powers for the good of all people and so wipe out the sectional lines more ‘lar less in- evidence in the past.— Farmer and Stockman. Grand Lodge A. F. & A.
