Melrose, Minnesota. - Opening
his campaign for the Republican NOM
ination for United States senator in
the heart of Democratic Stearns coun-
ty, Congressman Charles A. Lind
bergh was given an enthusiastic hear
ing here. Basing his candidacy on his
desire as the peoples agent to help
meet the forces planning to lay tribute
on the country at the close of the
war;" Mr.. Lindbergh devoted himself
largely to a discussion of the eccnom-
ic and social system which he says 10
responsible for the nations ills.
Says Trusts Still Exist.
His theme was livened by a singing
reference to Frank B. Kellogg. HE

Those trusts still exist and their stock
is worth more than ever"
Mr.. Lindbergh was introduced by w.
F. Donohue of this city, the unopposed
Democratic candidate for Congress in
this district.
The audience which greeted the
Sixth district congressman was thor
oughly representative of the county;
political leaders coming from almost
every town and village. An unex-
pected interest was manifested by the
farmers, who are almost solidly Ger
man.
E. l.. Rogers of Walker, Republican
candidate for Congress to succeed Mr..
Lindbergh, was present.

NORWAY,

The pure language reform move
ment is playing havoc with old party
lines. This was exemplif1ed most
strikingly the other day when the
storthing voted on the proposition to
establish chair of pure Norwegian
for the theological students at the uni
versity. The Socialists have been in
the habit of indorsing the language re-
forn. But on this occasion they voted
soEdly against the necessary appropri-
alton on the ground that the language
reformers are tjnctured with reaction
arg ideas. In other words, the Social
lists voted with the Conservatives. But

SAVED THE DAYLIGHT IN
INDIANA THIRTY YEARS AGO
Cement Mills Started at A. NJ, and
Men Got In Ten Hours q Day
Even In Winter.

New Albany, Ind.-Germany, Austria
and other war rent countries of Europe,
which have begun to conserve day
light; are thirty years behind Indiana.
A cable dispatch from Berlin recently
spoke of the daylight conservation idea
as having been adopted there. The
tenor of the dispatch created the i'm
preston that it was something new,
when, in fact, the idea was adopted
thirty years ago at the Speeds Cement
mills, north of this city.
1t was about 1886 when David Cook,
manager, who still has charge of the
plant, which produces Portland cement,
realized it was a sin to waste the fine
daylight which permits work at a. m,
even on most winter days. He studied
the matter, and soon the whistle for
going to work sounded at 6 in the
morning. 1t took some time for the
men to get used to the change, but
now they would not swap back to the
old system. They begin an hour earlier
and quit an hour earlier, and even dur
ing the winter the ten hour day can be
made.

mouth Of the cavern two pigeons built

never troubled to enter It and search.
Ever since then the Turks have held

PREPAREDNESS,

On the eve of the preparedness pa
rade of Chicago, and in these times
of preparedness propaganda all over the
nation, let US not forget the funda.
mental fact upon which national pre-.
paredness must rest. There can be
no preparedness that does not mean in
dividual preparedness. The individual
multiplied a hundred million times
makes the United States nation. We
could have perfect nation if the hun
dred million were prepared. It is nee
essary that the individual be healthy
to be prepared; it is necessary to be
safe from Ignorance, filth, persecution,
prescription and depressing conditions
generally for the individual to be pre-
pared. A nation to be prepared, then,
must look after the individual, for OBJ
vious reasons. The individual is not
always able to discern or divine what
is best for the individual; the collec-
ton of the hundred million individuals
should have anxious care about every
individual for national self preserva-
ton. Nations rise and fall just in
proportion as the component parts of
nations rise and fall.
As the nation is composed of a hun
dred million persons, so the individual
is composed of millions of other divi-
sions called cells. Each cell is micro
scopical in size but bears the same re-
lation to the body of the person as the
person does to the nation. Just as the
nation should have anxious care for
