It might be noted in passing that Miss Callahan has een out of “practical politics” for the last ten years and during that ‘time the meaning of the expression thas altered somewhat.

Where newsboys organ- ize a municipal republic of their own, with a mayor and alderman to Tegulate their behavior and a bank- er who puts $2.50 in the bank of each newsie and offers prizes to stimulate saving, prosperous com- munities are built up and the right sort of citizens fashioned. One good effect about the speeches and writings about the constitutional @roplems brought up at Columbus and Toledo is that it will set some People to reading the constitution of the United States who otherwise would have gone to their graves with out knowing what it really is. It ‘would do every citizen of the na #ion good to put half an hour into acquainting himself with that mar- velous instrument of government, the frue charter of American democracy. A commendable move is the ap- pointment by H. J. Maxfield, missioner of immigration, of one man to re- com. in each county of the state Port crop conditions and other in- formation relating to Minnesota’s de- velopment. The information will materially aid in the collection of data which will be used to advertise Minnesota to prospective immigrants. | Supt. A. J.

Two recent incidents that add emphasis ‘to the good roads movement are the -@nnouncements that Coleman Dupont, “a Deleware millionaire, will bequeath ‘his fortune for the construction of Toads and the adoption by the ‘Ohio constitutional convention of an «wamendment authorizing the state ‘legislature to issue bonds to the mount of $50,000,000 for the con- ‘struction and upkeep of wagon roags in the rural districts. Each of thes @nnounceMents means that not only ‘the individual, but great bodies of ‘men are coming to realize the vital mecessity of missionary work for good roads.

Because when one has a faraway look in their eyes— through trying to decide whether the cut steel buckle or the pink rosebuds will look best—it can easily be mis- taken for devout meditation. Hon- estly, though, I don't blame women for losing their heads these days. And if a man had a chance to wear all the pretty, frilly, flower and lace-trimmed things he would be just as crazy about them as we are. They tell me that men used to wear all the pretty clothes; that it was from the 14th century cavalier that we got our fetching millinery styles, and that the tunic skirt was only the old Merovingian fighting skirt of the fifth century. Of course, that may be true, but I don’t believe that any of our fighting ancestors ever wore anything like the present day mod- els—because shoe horns weren't in- vented then, and nothing short of a shoe horn would help the owners to climb into some of the extremely tight skirts one sees, don't you agree with me? Talk about repenting!

Introductory musical numbers were‘ given by the school children and a | delightful duet by. Mrs. Paul Stan- ton and Mr. Davis.
