Tales of the Street

Those who know Sen. Jerry Stevens
of Northwood, Grand Forks county,
one Of the Oldest residents in the state,
must realize what fine, big hearted
fellow he is, and also what a good
example his staunch friendship is 70
the rising generation. And all who
know him fully appreciate his keen
sense Of humor and the dry, whimsical
manner in which he springs it.
Senator Stevens never allows him
self to be fused or hurried, and
should anybody try to get the best
of him by pulling off a joke at his
expense, he takes his own time about
retaliating. He simply drops his head
trifie and peers inquiringly over the
top rims of his spectacles and issues
a reply that is generally worth while
and one that is seldom, If ever, posi-
BILE of retort.
When the twelfth legislative session
convened at Bismarck last January,
the witty senator from Grand Forks
county dropped into the Northwest
hotel to register. Before affixing his
own signature he began reading down
the lines Of the guest book to see the
names of those who had arrived be-
fore him. A new clerk had just been
employed at the Northwest, and
when he saw the venerable statesman
taking his time about registering, he
became impatient, as there were 9TH
ers who had just arrived on the same
train waiting to register also.
Just sign your name, please" said
the clerk. 1.-THE other guests would
like to register"
Senator Stevens lowered his glasses,
looked deliberately over their rims in
his kindly way, before he finally an
swered:
Don't you try to hurry me. young
man. / never sign my names to any
thing that / haven't read over care
fully"

Z
problem Of poverty is Of interest to
this nation.
The plan OF the English chancellor
is to distribute the cost Of sickness
and unemployment among number
of agencies--who together are able to
bear it-but who singly would ind 1t
an overwhelming burden.
1t is to apply to workers whose an
nual income is below the income tax
minimum, or less than $500. Such
workers now bear in suffering and de-
privation all the cost Of sickness and
unemployment--and they are least
able to bear it.
The measure Of Mr.. Lloyd George
would have this cost borne jointly by
the worker--his employer-and the
government. In the case Of sickness
the insured pays cents week--the
employer cents-and the government
cents. The insured would receive
weekly benefit of s1.2O during the
period Of his illness. In the case Of
unemployment the employee and en-
ployer would each pay 5 cents a week
and the government would contri-
butte one-fourth of the total fund re-
quired. The insured would receive
weekly during his unemployment a
maximum of Is shillings and a min
imum of shillings.
Not the least interesting feature of
the measure is the fact that--when
1t was introduced in parliament it met
the instant approval Of all the many
factions in English politics.

RODS are necessary for the mental as

should be relaxation-a cessation of
effort-even If the period is brief.
Get out doors. There is a lot of

are places where the air Is better than

The sidewalks of this city are not
