DEEAcINa THE LANDSCAPE.
unslahtIy Advertising Doomed by New
York Law.


York Law
Louisville Courier Journal: The
crusade against unsightly advertising
has resulted in the passage Of New
York law. making it a rnisdemeanor
to erect signs within the limits OF
the public highways. Under the new
law axrnen representing the Automo-
bile Club Of America are chopping
down old signs.
This law cannot remove all adver-
Using from the vicinity Of public
roads. 1t does not affect signs upon
private property, but 1t win do good
deal toward the Improvement OF rural
landscape to keep advertising on OF
fences, signboards and buildings that
hank the highways.
Advertising within sight OF roads
and railroads defaces great deal of
scenery in America, OF course America
is not alone suffering this nuisance,
and the more foreigners learn about
American advertising methods the
more the scenery lis defaced In other
countries. Japan is hardly behind
America, and England is catching up
with Japan in the matter OF exploiting
medicines and their beneficial effects
upon immense sign boards that blaze
In red. white and blue against green
landscape. But that such advertising
Is nuisance, and with the rapid In
crease OF motor travel grows to be
considered more so, Is indisputable.
The time may come when the present
New York law may be referred to as
having been the beginning OF good
work. In the meantime New York
highways win present an improved
aspect.

The Rubber Canoe.

from The HickeyvfIle Ciarion Hav.
ing nothing else to do one bright after
noon, Rem Purdy and Hank Virgins
got together and thought out an in
vention which would reyolutionize
water traffic throughout the world. IL
was nothing more nor less than a rub
Der canoe. They had seen tin canoes.
birch canoes, sheet iron canoes and
veneer canoes, but never rubber ca
noe. The advantage OF q rubber ca
noe was that It would not hurt 1t to
get wet Then again when the rubber
canoe turned upside down, as canoes
will, at the most unexpected moments.
1t would not be necessary to turn it
over again The man who had been
spilled out of the canoe would merely
nave to jump on it as it lay upside
down in the water, turn it inside out
and so on his way rejoicing.
They could see almost as many adj
vantages to the rubber canoe as 10 the
rubber hot water bag, the rubber nurs-
ing bottle, the rubber automatic tire.
the rubber suspenders or the rubber
collar, and so they got down to work
with will. Within the fortnight the
nrst rubber canoe had been completed.
and the two inventors started from
Hickeyville up the river to Peavey
Junction In II.
They padded as happy as two school
boys, but they noticed that the pad
ding was hard. They were obliged to
dig In for ali they were worth to make
any Roadway at all. It sometimes
seemed as though they were at a
standstili. Finally. after several hours
OF terrible exertion, they reached Pea
vey Junction and jumped out on the
dock. AS soon as they landed on the
dock they looked down at the water
70 see their canoe. and 1t had disap-
peared.
II was deep, dark mystery, but the
explanation came later. 1t seems that
shortly after they left Hickeyvllle the
stern OF the rubber boat had caught
on q snag and held. The padding was
very hard, for they were merely
stretching the canoe out. Neither had
had time TO look back They had man
aged, by strenuous padding, to stretch
the canoe out until the front end of 1t
reached the Peavey Junction dock.
When they had jumped out the canoe
had snapped back four miles to the
snag where 1t was later found floating
peacefully on the water.

DEM. NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN.


with the hope the next president
will be q democrat the members Of
that party IN North Dakota are max
ing quite fight for the position Of
national committeeman. Should there
be a democratic president--and both
the senator's and congressman from
North Dakota be republican--the
democratic national committeeman In
this state VIII be the whole process
sion. He win be the man to dispense
the pap. Several aspiring members
OF the party see the point and the bar
kis class looms up big and strong.
II Ia claimed that Charlie Mitchelrs
quondam friend and attorney wants
the place. It IL also stated that Far
go has two other men in II. e. Cole
and ID. n. Macarthur who would not OBJ
ject to being the selection.
Up at Grand Forks George W. Duis
is q favored candidate, Still closer
to the international boundary is Ed
itcr Wilson of The Bathgats Pink Pa
per. AZ Devils Lake Joe Kelly is
named and further west are Dank
Greenleaf Of Minot and Colonel White
head and Colonel Bruegger.
II IL said that Governor Burke
wants George w. Duis of Grand
Forks picked for the place. All the
men mentioned have more or less fol-
lowing-although Joe Kelly Of Dew
lis Lake is said to be the general fav-
orite. II is claimed that he is the
man who does things and Is entitled
to the honor. One instance Is cited
during the last campaign, when the
local democratic sheet was about on
Its last legs, just prior 10 election,
Kelly stepped into the breach and
with his own money saved the day
and incidentally, II is thought Burke's
scalp. II is insisted Colonel Kelly
doesn't want the position--but the
rank and file OF the party appears to
believe he is entitled to IL.
II IL counting chickens a long ways
before the eggs are laid-to get up
big scrap for democratic national
committeeman-with the hope that a
democratic president win be chosen
but there is no doubt about the power
OF the man who lands the job in
North Dakota-should there be DEM
ocratic prexy.
