Where Potato Bugs Came From.

Cortez, the Spanish explorer, is now
being given the credit by scientists
for introducing to us the potato bug.
Originally this bug lived on the high.
lands of Central America, where it fed
upon the sand bur plants, which are
distantly related to our potato plants.
In those days the insect never had
tasted potato plant. But when the
Spaniards invaded Mexico in 1919 they
brought horses with them, and as they
went north the sand bur plants grew
up where they had never grown before,
and with the plants came this striped
black and white beetle. This, say the
scientists, was the ancestor of the po
tato bug. When the potato plant be-
gan to be grown extensively by civili-
zation, the bug forsook the sand burs
and took up the potato and gradually
became the up-to-date potato bug,
known all over the United States
The Pathfinder.

A GOOD WORKING HYPOTHESIS.

Things Are Really Getting Better and
Scandals Only Incidents of Progress.
Another college president has ranged
himself on the side of those who be-
ieve that the world is getting better,
not worse President Nicholas Murray
Butler, of Columbia university, states
his view on the subject without equiv
ocation, says Century Magazine. He
thinks the feeling is growing that men
must be held strictly accountable for
Irregularities and overreaching quite
apart from the strict letter of the law.
This is a period of advancement. You
can see it, he says, by talking to the
men you meet while travelling, espe-
cially in the West, and with the aver
age American-the lawyers, the man
ufacturers, the shopkeepers and busi-
ness men, Some of the men whose
business methods are now being held
up to public criticism believe that they
came into their fortunes by fair
means. 1--WE were like other men,"
But" says President Butler, "we have
set up different and higher code. The
business tactics that were permitted
then are looked upon as unethical to-
day. We have advanced, ands advanc-
ing, we have changed our attitude to-
ward life." President Butler goes on
to declare that 1--WE have, also, more
exacting code of public life
Possibly our announced standards
are not SO very much higher, but pub
lie opinion does not now easily permit
departure from the standards. At any
rate, the doctrine that things are real.
ly getting better, Notwithstanding all
the exposure of scandals-that these
refer to exceptions and are incidents
of moral progress-it is very cheering
and encouraging doctrine, and an ex.
cellent working hypothesis"

EARLY CLOSING

The clerks of the city are pushing
a movement to secure the early clos
ing of stores in the evening. AS re-
lated in the last issue of The Her.
aid, most of the local merchants have
signed an agreement to close their
stores at $50 p. m. during-except
Saturdays-August and September.
The clerks now appeal to the peo-
pie to do their trading at an earlier
hour than that named for closing. This
seems to be a reasonable request
and while The Herald has no desire
to dictate to others as to what they
shall do, it believes that it will be
for the benefit of all concerned to
adopt the early closing plan.
In the first place, the merchant
owes it to himself to have the even
ings free from business cares. He
will live longer and enjoy life better
The worst form of slavery, in The
Heralds opinion, is that which chains
man to his business fifteen hours
out of the twenty-four. The employ
er owes something to those who work
for him. The Herald believes that
the employe will do better work On
reasonably long hours than he will
on hours that reach from early morn
ing to late at night. He will cer-
tainly do it more cheerfully, and
that will put him in a mood to ac-
complish more in touch with his en-
ployer. The Herald hopes to see
the business men of Sauk Centre stanc
together in the early closing move
ment. The thing can be done and
desirable results accomplished if all
pull together.
AS for the public, it can easily
adapt itself to the earlier hours and
The Herald predicts that it will be
better pleased to have all trading out
of the way by supper time, so as to
have the whole evening for recrea-
ton. Let's all lend a hand and helI
not only ourselves, but the merchant
and the faithful employe.

A mighty change is occurring in
the country newspapers of the state.
There is a disposition among the fra
ternity to withhold support from the
prominent candidates of their res
pective parties, and to allow their fit
ness for the positions they seek to
be exploited in different sources than
in the columns of their papers. The
country press is expected to loyal
lv support the regular candidate, but
when emoluments are to be distri-
buted, the daily press are the ones
altogether lovely and are rewarded
The country editor is getting wise.
He sees a disposition among the
leading politicians to ignore him at

to resent this treatment. When the
