The party label stuck on these gentlemen is not nearly so important as their own characters and ability. There are a num of estimable gentlemen who came to the Northwest from’ the South. They used to be democrats. They are the same gentlemen; their political beliefs are the same; their abilities are the same; they have only changed names. | No party is perfect.

The rural resident, tho, cannot 80 readily accept the advice The nearest library is miles off, and he has rfread every book in bis neighborhood. ‘The answer? Traveling Ubrariest .

Only they weren't sheaves. They were fruit, canned, dted, and in barrels, They were turnips, potatoes, pumpkins They were nuta, bopeorn, and cider, They were the winter's food supply. But until within the year past, the cellar had gone quite out of fashion. One kept his fruit and vegetabies tn the groger’s cellar, his bacon and lard in the butcher’s shop, and tmrely alloted to the cellar a ton or two of coal Then, suddenly, folks renewed conversation about “wellstocked cellars.” This had to da with drinkablex and was an aftermath of the 18th amendment. ; Now comes the department of agricuttare enfi exhorts the nation te “get the cellar habit.” Meaning the storing of food in cellars—tase- menta, if you will call "em that—for the winter table = By putting in your winter's supply in the fall you broaden the market. You compete with the commercial storage concerns. The result @ higher price for producera. Having the food tn your cellar you decrease the demand for food later on. This creates a emailer market for the storage plant, and lower prices for those who cannot store any food tn their cellars. The “well-stocked cellar” should mean this winter what !t meant in grandfather's time Busy Handkerchief The Twenty years ago young people were adept In the wee of the hand- kerchief as a means of silent communication, one with the other. But only mental mastadons mastered the intricacies of the code, so that 90 per cent of the folks who tried talking that way usually got their| balied things up so that thelr conversation was not intelligible. : “The Lover's Casket,” a printed gem for the guidance of youth of the 1900 crop, tells us all about it But even it warns persons| trying to use the code that “many a lady may make a signal entirely unawares, becagse tt is almost impossible to use the handkerchief at all and avoid every nrotion indicated in the code.” As @ result some timid girls left their noses untouched for fear they! might be inviting rome one to “follow me.” And, thru misinterpretation mantic citizens, It 1s @ pleasure to learn, after so many years, that “drawing the handkerchief across the lips” meant “desirous @f an acquaintance’; that taking It by the center meant “you are too willing”; drawing across the cheek, “I love you*; drawing thru the hands, “I hate you folding it, “I wish to speak to you"; flirting it over right shoulder, “follow me”; drawing across forehead, “we are watc hed"; letting it re main on the eyes, “you are cruel”; putting in the pocket, “no more at present”; crumpling in the hand, “I am impatient,” and tying a knot in the corner, “don’t tell too much.” . Who’s Who It takes 3,302 pages to recite the virtues of the 22,443 people biographed in this American biennial publication, Who's Who. The! men and women included because “of special prominence in creditable lines of effort,” undoubtedly were rightly chosen. But—to it seems—so many, so very many, were left out. One would like to see some day a Who's Who containing the names of @ lot of people who are doing @ great share of ‘the world’s work, heroes and heroines in all lines of human endeavor who as yot have never had a chance at a “look in” in anybody's Who's Who. Take soldiers, crippled for life, who, after reconstruction, are making g00d in @ thousand different lines; take mothers, who gave their sons in war; take the plain, patient strugglers, who, work as they may, for some reason or other, get nowhere except a day by day living; take men and women—a@ hundred of whom everybody knows—such a compilation would be a real Who's Who, wigp a human appeal greater than fine gold. After all, ft ts just ordinary people who get the work of the world done. Responsibility Sir Auckland Geddes, the British ambassador, declares that the ques- tion of whether the last great wir has been fought is in the hands of the newspapers. Especially can the English laiguage newspapers control the issue of peace or war, he aanerts. Never bas a diplomat more unerringly detected the mainspriag of great actions. This is a newspaper age. Government in a democracy is operated not only by three constitutional branches—legislative, execu- tive and judicial—but also by the newspapers, The English-speaking nations are now dominant tn the world.
