This is not the cathedral" said the
sexton. 'The cathedral is several
blocks above here. This is a Presby-

The Irishman sat up with a jerk
and looked about him. On the walls
between the windows were handsome
paintings of the apostles.
"Ain't that st. Luke over yonder?"
he demanded.

POLITICAL COMMENT


Minot voters should particula-
rly support the two out of town
candidates for the legislature,
Hans C. Miller of Ryder and j.
W Smith of Surrey, and then
choose two more from the three
Minot candidates in the field.
We owe it to the out Of town
districts to see that they are re-
presented and we believe that
those candidates will be- and
should be elected. Minot has
always been treated right by the
outlying districts, so let's get
busy and reciprocate.
Some of the candidates are
using as an argument against
others that there are 50 many
Minot candidates. This is true,
and yet if an outside candidate
for county office happens to be
elected and runs two years hence,
he will have developed into one
Of those 'measely Minot candi-
dates himself.

rat was black. Now, black rats dis
appeared from Brooklyn so years ago,
but are still common on the Isthmus Of
Panama. so there is little doubt that
the totem pole gathered in the rat in
its transit across the isthmus.
There are 100 different species Of
rats and mice, none of which are ma
tive in America. The black rat invad-
ed Europe probably from India, in the
thirteenth century and drove out tho
indigenous rats. 1t was one OF the
earliest immigrants to this country,
probably coming ON some Of tho first
ships-perhaps with Columbus.
By the eighteenth century the black
rat was the undisputed master Of the
vaults, the granaries and the GEL
lars OF Europe. But out Of Western
China suddenly appeared a horde Of
2 new species, the brown rat. Crossing
mountains and swimming rivers, they
arrived at Hanover in vast numbers
about the year 1928, whence the spe-
ciss is sometimes known az the Han.
overian Rat" Browning immortalized
the rats Of Hanover in the "Pied Piper
of Hamelin."
Within lees than two years after it,
drst APPEARANCE in eastern Poland, the
brown rat lad reached England. Cum
ming and bloodthirsty, it gave short
shift to the unfortunate black rat wher,
ever the two came into contact. Al .
result, the latter species was all but
exterminated in most parts Of Eu1
rope.
Antedating the Revolution by some
years, the brown rats arrived In Amer
lea via caravels. barques and frigatea
of our forefathers, and they succeed
ed in supplanting the black rats just
as thoroughly as the colonists sup
planted the Indians. Today black rats
are almost unknown In this country.
They still exist in small numbers inl
the Vermont hills and few are said
to hold out In parts Of New Jersey
but certainly their spheres Of suffer-
anco are limited. In short, South Amer

that with his ability and willing

perfectly honest and honorable,

Ger has done his work we'll, it
is usually customary to give him
another term. Mr.. Weatherwax
runs his office very economically,
often employing but his deputy
and no clerks, except in the

has saved the tax payers q good
deal Of money that in former
years went to the county, as

Sl00 in gold is offered to the Boys Corn Clubs of Arkansas as follows. S50 to the boy who makes the best record on one acre of corn: $50 10 the one making second best record; S20 to the one making the third best record
 This offer is made by H c. Hast ings X Company of Atlanta, Ga, and has been accepted and approved by T. II, JeifordS, State Agent in the Boys Demonstration Club W6rk. There are no strings whatever tied to this offer Every one of the 2000 members of the Boys Corn Club should 20 after these valuable prizes
 Members of the Corn Club should not be discouraged by the cold wet season. Corn planted as late as the middle of June will make a good yield if properly handled Remember that the season is backward all over the state. Other boys will be just as late getting in their crops. Observe these two things: Don't blow the ground too wet. Don't plant until the ground is warm.

ELECTIONS.

Arkansas has already had many elections this year, and still there are more to follow. There have been primary elections for every office on the calendar of every governmental division, national, state, district, county and municipal. The general municipal elections have already been held, and we have yet before us the general biennial election this fall, and We are we'll in the midst of the national campaign.
 There is however another election which must not be overlooked and which, in many respects, is of greater importance to the individual ielector than any of the other elections. THIS Is THE ANNUALaSCHOOL ELECTION, SATURDAY, MAY;ls.
 As the public school is the very basis, the foundation stone, of good government, so are the duties Of those who vote at the school election Of grayest importance. The divisions are s0 small, each Beighb3rho0d al- most being d separate unit, that each vote is an important factor.
 1t is important that good citizens, who are intelligently interested lin better public school conditions and who will devote their time and energy 10 the cause, be elected direc- tors. It is also important that a sufficient school tax be voted and in most instances this means the full seven mills, permitted by the consti- tuition.
 All citizens are urged to vote at the SCHOOL ELECTION SATUR- DAY, MAY IS.
