in so distinguished list is a great
and illustrious achievement.
John Albert Johnson, whose stat.
ne is unveiled today, was born in
Minnesota but a few years after it
was made a state. He grew up in
| it and with it.
His parents came from Sweden.
The America they knew, the Ameri-
lea they loved, was the America
| they learned about in this state.
Here they were married and here
their children were born. They ex-
perienced all the harships common
| to those who live on the frontier.
They toiled through the long and
weary hours of the day for bare
subsistence. Their pleasures were
in anticipation of brighter and bet
| ter days in the future. They could
give to their children few of the
| comforts and few Of the advantages
that we deem necessary for the
children of today. The commonest
of food the humblest shelter and
little clothing were necessarily all
the boy could have. Cold as were
the winter days, biting as were the
icy winds of the northwest, the fu-
ture governor of Minnesota had no
overcoat to project himself from
them until he had reached his four
teenth year.
''The privations and the sufferings
of his youth gave him, however,
that intimate acquaintanceship with
poverty and sorrow that made him
appreciative of modest prosperity
and in sympathy with the toiling
poor. 1t is said his great heart went
out to the unfortunate and the in
digent. 1t was because he knew
them; he had been of them; their
griefs he had experienced; their
hopes he had known. Their loves,
their joys, their sorrows, were loves
and joys and sorrows with which he
had been familiar. He knew that
strong and honest hearts beat be-
meath ragged jackets and that love
Iof God and neighbor and country
were the dearest possessions of
those who had little of the worlds
wealth. He learned that some of the
choicest spirits, some of the purest
minds and some of the greatest
hearts were among those to whom
wealth and power and station were
unknown. He learned to prize the
value of American citizenship and
to rejoice in the freedom and the
liberty enjoyed by the people of the
). United States.

operation of her theories. It is unusual
in this day of unrest to find a woman quail

Corner? I promise to be short, 1t not sweet.
Ito GET RID OF THAT GREASE
SPOT: Brush out the dust that inevitably
settles upon oily substances and, once
there, sticks. This done, sponge with pure
chloroform. I have yet to see the grease
that was obstinate under this simple treat
ment.
ITO CLEAN AND WHITEN PIANO
KEYS: 1 note that you advise sleeping
strips of canton flannel in oxalic acid and
laying them upon the ivory. You add very
sensibly that care must be taken not to let
the powerful acid drip upon the wood of
the instrument Let me tell you of safer
method: Make a pretty stiff paste of equal
parts of olive oil and household ammonia
thickened with pulverized chalk, and cover
the keys with it. There is no danger of
dripping. Let the paste remain on the keys
all night. Then wipe off and polish the
ivory with damp chamois skin. You may
clean the ivory handles of knives in the
same way.
ROASTED POTATOES: May be made
more palatable and nutritious if the skins
are CREASED well before they go into the
oven. Wash and wipe perfectly dry and
rub with slightly sailed grease or butter.
