HONK! HONK! HONK.HONK!

Johnny Is becoming advanced. He
no longer attends school primarily
to learn reading. writing and arith-
metic. with a little geography and
history thrown in. His teachers are
instructing him about cleaning his
teeth, in order that he may avoid
disease; what to do in emergencies.
in order to save life; what foods are
good for the body and which are not,
in order that he may avoid illness.
Safety First" has become the motto
Of the schoolroom.
While the motto is still popular,
Columbia Johnnies might be profit
ably instructed in the meaning of
honks Johnny is interested in honks.
II you don't believe it, give him
chance at the honking apparatus.
Johnny would feel more of a man If
he knew more about honks, especial
ly if he could instruct his elders
somewhat Also. Johnny will some
day grow up. after the manner of him
the world over. and he will view the
honk from the standpoint of honker
and not honk-ee.
With all this in mind, let Columbia
Johns and their Brother Bills and
Sister Sues be told that the motor
signals in Columbia are these: One
honk Indicates straight ahead; two,
turning to the right; three, a turn
ing to the left.
Such instruction will profit the chill
dren only as the drivers of the cars
also learn the signals and use them:
Scarcely a person in Colombia has |
missed the experience of standing at |
street corner and wondering just !
which way two or three cars intended
to travel. Many drivers signal with
the hand. which is entirely satisfac-
tory if the pedestrian can see the sig
nal. This is not always the case.
Neither is it always possible for
drivers of other vehicles to determine
the route of the vehicle following.
The poor motorist, already over
burdened with statutes and ordi-
nances. may object to any further
rules as destroying the advantages of

STATE ASKS AID.

Governor j. A. A. Burnquist has
sent out an appeal asking the citizens
of the state to aid the Minnesota Ma
tional Guard. A proclamation issued
by him is as follows:
It has again become necessary for
many citizens of our state to enter
military service in defense of our
country.
Why should not those who remain
at home be very willing to be of as
sistance to those who are to bear the
hardships at the front and are risk
ing their lives in the performance of
their duties?
While under the usual government
appropriations It is possible for the
national guard to receive, in case of
sickness or injuries, proper attention,
there are many things besides with
which they can be supplied and which
would add materially to their COM
fort In order to raise a fund to as
sist in securing for them such addi-
tional care, every mayor in the state
is hereby requested to appoint COM
mittee or one or more in his COM
munity to solicit and collect sub
scriptions, all of which are to be for
warded to A: C. Gooding, state treas
urer, at the capitol, St. Paul, and la
ter distributed by a commission Of
five to be appointed by the governor.
1t is hereby also suggested, if any
member of the national guard must
leave; those dependent upon him with
out means of support, that his COM
munity devise some way in which to
care for them until adequate provi-
sion is made by the government.
Our state organizations are in need
of more recruits. Minnesota will
now, as in the past, do her duty. Let,
therefore, all of our citizens cooper
ate for the purpose of securing addi-
tional enlistments and in the caring
for those of her sons whose patri-
,otism and layolty are shown in their
readiness to enlist in the service Of
their state and nation. ..-,. ..

COMING TO THE FRONT.

No matter what our beliefs may
be in the matter of woman's suffrage
candor compels the admission that the
feminine cause is making strides to-
ward the ultimate achievements Of
their goal.
A few years ago the mere idea of
woman voting met with ridicule up
on every hand. It was considered a
dream and joke.
Today, however, every party has its
strong and powerful defenders of
woman's right to the franchise, and
neither party cares to risk going rad
ically on record against it.
Politicians everywhere concede 9
