From Nancy to vosaes they

Further west the German de-

According to the Tracy Herald Geo.
Falk, Minneota tailor, man some
over fifty years of age, was found
dead Wednesday morning in the base
ment at the depot and an investiga-
ton was at once started to ascertain
the cause of his death. At first it
was thought he had fallen down the
stairs which lead from an outside
door on the south side of the depot
but at the inquest the evidence that
such was the case was far from con-
elusive.
In the opinion of the doctors who
examined two or three bruises on the
dead mans head the same had been
inflicted some hours before he could
have entered the depot They were
not fresh abrasions and there was no
blood about them or on the floor

to go to the entire year don't start
him until he is older. The child will
be better off if he doesn't start till

PunCtuaIity And
Attendance Are
Most Important
Ralph Towne. Superintendent of Daw-
son Schools, Gives Splendid Ad-
vice To Parents

Punctuality is something that
should be cultivated by everyone. One
of the best places to learn it is in
the public school. The habits which
a child forms in regard to school at
tendance will follow him all through
his school days. If you allow the
child to stay out for minor reasons
he soon begins to feel that ne can GO
to school just when he feels like it.
Irregular attendance is the result, and
this is probably the greatest cause
of failures.
Each days work is fully planned be-
forehand. If a child is absent he
misses this work. The only way for
him to get it is by special work on
the part of the teacher. It is ask
ing a good deal of teacher to give
her time to a child to make up work
that the child missed by indifference.
Sometimes it is necessary to keep
a child out of school for a day. I'm
der such conditions teacher will be
glad to help the pupil make up his
work When you stop to consider
that each teacher in our schools has
about forty pupils you win see that
she does not have great deal of time
to waste.
In the primary or first grade good
attendance Is really r,ora ,r.r,-<.rx
than in almost any other grade. Two

WHY EDITORS ARE skEPTIcs.

One of the greatest trials of the
newspaper profession is that its
members are compelled to see more
of the shame of the world than in
any other profession. Through every
newspaper office day after day, all
the wickedness of the world, church
chickering's, and all the mistakes that
want to be corrected, all the dull
speakers that want to be thought elo
quent, all the meanness that wants
to get its wares noticed gratis in
the editorial columns in order to
all the cracked brain philosophers,
whose stories are as long as their
hair and as gloomy as their finger
rails in mourning because bereft of
all pap, all the bores who come to
stay a few minutes but stay hours.
Through all the editorial and repor-
torial room all the follies and shame
eff the world are seen day by day
and the temptation is to believe
neither God nor man, nor woman.
1t is no surprise to tell me that in
his profession there are so many
skeptical men | only wonder that
Journalists believe anything Tai
mage.

a MODERN NECESSITY

The value of advertising is felt al
three ends the merchant, the con.
sumner and the publisher.
Through the medium of his adver--
tisements, the merchant acquaints
the consumer with the wares he has
for sale, with their values and their
attractive features, and is himself
constantly in touch with the con
sumner.
The consumer reads of the goods
he wants, learns where to find them,
and saves the time of fruitless hunt
ing from place to place.
The publisher is the go between, the
medium of communication between
the buyer and seller, sort of pub.
lie convenience. Strange as it may
seem, he, too, has his uses.
Advertising aocomphshes more
good and better results for all peo--
pie than any one feature in COM
mercial life.
1t is a modern necessity, made
so by the constantly increasing de-
mands of a discriminating public.

GEOGRAPHY AND THE WAR

About the only way most people
learn geography is by travelling, or
| through being interested in a war.
| AS the majority of people travel lit,
| tie, and wars are exceptional, most
people know little about geography
The comments one hears ON the war
in Europe show surprising ignorance,
considering that every one has stud
led the subject in school.
1t is rather remarkable that the
Old fashioned schools did give so
much attention to geography. The
Three Rs" we're distinctly practi-
cal. People studied, ''Readin, "
''Ritin," and 'Rithmetic,' because
otherwise they could not engage in
business or earn living.
But lit is perfectly possible to
earn a good living. and be useful,
popular, or successful, and yet to
know practically nothing about geo.
graphy. Here, for once, the Little
Red-School-House looked at life
in a broad hight 1t taught geo.
graphy, not as a money earning study
but merely for it's value in wider
intelligence.
Geography is easy enough to learn,
but hard to remember. 1t is a string
of unrelated acts, bound together by
no ties of logic and drops out of
sight in the mind like a pebble in
the ocean. Was there one person in
a hundred, who previous to the re-
cent fighting, could have located the
Vosges mountains? Or was there
one in a hundred, who could have
placed correctly the city of Louvain,
now destined for a fiery Immortality?
Geography is a broadening study,
and it ought to be taught so that
people will remember more about it.
Mere lists of names of rivers, noun
tains, cities, are as elusive as the
morning dew If its main facts can
somehow be connected with a hui
man interest feature, they may stick
longer in the mind If young peo-
pie can be helped to associate a city
OF a river a mountain with certain
dramatic events of history, it would
be helpful to memory

HOW LABOR DAY is OBSERVED.

When the editor reads in his ex-
changes the story of how Labor day
has been observed his impression is
that people had a mighty good time.
Wherever the weather is good, peo--
pie flock to the ball park or the
picnic ground. The crack of the bat
ted ball, the pounding of the big
base drum, and the laughter of chill
dren, are the keynotes of the day.
thus Labor day is not what it was
originally supposed to be- 1t was set
apart as a holiday, primarily for re
Election upon the Labor question. The
projectors of the plan evidently felt
that the public would gather in
thoughtful asesmblages, and hear
| addresses upon the cause of the
workingman and the problem of Sc
curing his advance.
Occasionally there are on Labor
day such public meeting, but they
are few and are incidental Just
as Thanksgiving day, once a relig
ious rite, has now become a social
and epicurean festivity; so Labor
day, originally an economic event,
has now become a day of sport and
athletics.
The parade of trade unions held
in many cities is the principal fea-
ture left from the original pro-
gram A foreigner seeing one of
these professions would be struck
by the fine appearance made by the
workers. In his own country, he
may have been taught to think of
| carpenters and masons and plumbers
as an inferior type of men. Rugged
up in their Sunday clothes, the A
merican artizans make a very good
appearance Many are former high
school students or graduates, many
are prominent in fraternal orders
and churches, adj bear themselves
with dignity.
"A good many churches also, are
observing the Sunday before the holt
day AIS Labor Sunday. This too is
fruitful The founding of Christian
ity proclaimed his gospel primarily to
the workers. If Christianity is not
touching the lives of the every day
aoilers, it is failing in it's mission.

PRAYER FOR PEACE

Even the man VINO looks at life

that President Wilson has set apart
for prayer for peace. There are more
things in heaven and earth than are
dreamt of in the philosophy of some
of us
The nationalist finds the older con
ceptions of prayer difficult to har-
monte. Yet any thoughtful study of
the literature of the subject will re-
veal a host of striking and we'll at
