financial need was not a determining
factor and because she chose her pro-
fession AZ so early an age.
Miss Jones made her debut in New
York along with other girls Of her
class. She did not care much for the
usual Young girls gsyety, and after a
short season her search for some in

Several years spent at Cornell and in
foreign study fitted her for her work
and then she plunged into activity in
one OF the most fascinating yet most
exacting OF professions.

that she can lightly take up this work
because she loves flowers or has a
taste in shrubs. Il means study and
hard work. The landscape architect

injured by overwork and abuse.
The beginning of the next school

eyes are expected to do a great deal
of close work to which they are not
at all accustomed. The early atten-
tion of the eyes may obviate lifelong
annoyance and possibly injury to
physical health. DR.. J. T. Koth-

ond choice votes Rines. gained 10,
and Preus 3, making as stated net
gain Of Is for Rines There was also
one vote that will be referred to the

counted for Rines.
The law provides that vote for
one person only shall be counted as
a first choice vote whether the voter

A County Option Size-up.,

Advocates of county option in
Minnesota scent victory in the air.
A resume of the legislative situation
has just been issued by advocates of
the cause Of county option, and if
their figures and calculations are
anywhere near correct they have
good reason to feel elated Here is
the county option size-up of the
situation ~: "a 80 .>,@s- ?. -
Upwards of l, 1000 filings occurred
for the two houses. Of this number
373 were successful in the primaries,
and from these will be chosen the
men who are to serve in the 1877 leg
islative positions to be filled, 1873 of
the 373 represent the 'drys' and 1856
the 'wets.' Of this same 373, 1922
are nominees for the senate and PSI
for the house. Out of the l22 senate
nominees, IS are dry and 81 fwet,'
while 1923 are dry and 1928 wet of
the PSI nominated for the house.
"a review of the senate situation
discloses that the dry forces are, at
this stage, absolutely certain OF 20
senators in as many districts, in six
of which the dry candidate has no
opposition of any kind, while in ID
both contestants are dry, so that
irrespective of outcome we are safe.
In the same way the wet forces are
sure of l6 d1stricts-6 where the wet
candidate stands unopposed and 10
where both nominees represent. the
opposition. There" will thus be no
contest in the final election for IS
senate seats, the issue in these, in
stances being settled in the primary.
Eliminating SO from the 81, senators
to be elected, we will still have 81
around whom the fight will center.
In 81 senatorial districts, therefore,
this great conflict for mighty prin-
ciple will be waged. In each the
two opposing candidates indicate
clearly the line of cleveage, the issue
is plain, and the lines are j clearly
