FARMERS SIZE UP HUGHES
AS "PRETTY GOOD FELLOW"

Fargo, N. D.-Charles e. Hughes
campaigned for the first time among
the sturdy farmers Of the eastern part
of North Dakota and left behind him
the reputation of being a "pretty good
fellow"
He was forced to undergo a critical
scrutiny before the verdict was given.
Mr.. Hughes preached the doctrines
of government efficiency, Americanism,
tariff as protection to the farmers and
preparedness, and in each instance won
applause, despite the fact that the
farmers are not the strongest advo-
Gates of the last named issue.
They cheered for preparedness the
loudest when Mr. Hughes told them
that it meant not militarism, but abil-
ity to uphold national honor.
AS they cheered for Mr.. Hughes one
broad shouldered old farmer said, "It's
because there's something about him
that makes you believe he's telling the
truth"

LATEST OF ALL THE BIRDS
Feathered "Weary Willie" Sleeps All
Day and Absolutely Refuses to
Go After Food.

LATEST of birds is the frogmouth.
He sleeps all day, and instead of flying
about in search of food he sits still on
limb and literally waits for the in
sects to come and feed him. He's
such sound sleeper that you can
knock him off his perch with a club
and he'll not wake up. He inhabits
the islands Of the Indian ocean and
Australia.
He's about the size of the whippoor-
will and gets his name from his wide
mouth, which also serves as his insect
trap. Too lazy to fly for his food, like
other birds, he crawls along the limb
of tree, opening his wide mouth and
swapping it shut, catching what flies
and gnats come within his range.
At night he's found perched with
his mate on the roofs of houses, on
fences or stumps. Only after the sun
goes down does he show any inclina-
ton to move about. All day he sits,
feet glued to the limb of gum tree,
Indifferent to rain, tropical sun or the
call of the woods.
One species of frogmouth has tufts
of hair rising from the top of his head
like ears.

PRETTY GIRLS AND OTHERS
After All, the Ono Who Is "Nice" Is
Apt to Be the Most Popular
With Everybody.

We all know the old joke OF the
pretty girl who is presented as saying
to the homely girl TITS too bad not to
be good-looking, isn't it?" and the
homely girls response: Eyes, because
one has to be nice, and that's hard;
did you every try it?"
OF course we enjoy the reply, espe-
cially as we know how much greater
the impression that is made by being
nice, the Milwaukee Journal observes.
The pretty girl who doesn't think this
necessary Is away behind the homely
girl who has really learned to be what
we describe so satisfactorily and in
definitely by the word nice"
But do we ever think of this as one
of the definite accomplishments of life
that can be acquired, not so easily per-
haps as knowledge Of algebra or his
tory, but just as surely? Every day
we meet someone, often several per-
sons, whose lives exemplify the beauty
of being nice. Very soon we learn
to know them and we are ready almost
without thinking to go little out of
the way to see that we do meet them.
They are not all homely girls some
of them are pretty, and many of them
aren't girls at ALL Most of them al
ways seem to be mice" by nature.
But anyone with an atom of justice in
his reasoning knows that at some time
and probably often, there has come
to these persons who make life bright
er the question, Does it pay?" Maybe
they never really proved that it did
That doesn't matter so much, for
they have kept on with the CHEEKY
look, the pleasant greeting, the friend
liness and graciousness that are the
worlds greatest Joy bringers. And
that is enough to make them far better
remembered and far more beloved
than if they had been named the reign
ing beauties of their day.

ON CONFlSCATION.

One Of the arguments against pro-
hibition is that it confiscates property.
1t has been we'll pointed out that this
argument overlooks the fact that pro-
hibition does not take from the brew
ers, distillers and saloon keepers
foot of ground that they own or a
single brick out of any of their build
ings. They have their property just
as they had it before, but they cannot
use it for the same purpose. However,
there are other purposes for which it
can be used. When the saloon is
driven out the building can be used
for the sale of things that are helpful,
and the buildings now used for distil-
leries and breweries can be utilized
for other business enterprises, as they
have been in states that have adopted
prohibition, with distinct profit to the
property owners.

Birds Cannot Understand Glass.

1t has been frequently noticed that

ATTRACTS BUSINESS MEN.

Mr.. Hughes has not tried to scare
anybody, but has merely portrayed the
errors of the present administration
and set forth certain principles on
which the affairs of the country should
be managed in the future.
There is a political logic in his pors
trayal, the elimination of which in the
mind of the voter is expressed by the
frequent remark:
''He is the kind of man we want to
steer US through"
This has been said by many bust
ness man. The qualities seen in Mr..
Hughes are poise, a strong, sane mind,
sincerity and a willingness to sacrifice
life, physical or political, to the good
of the country. Nor is there any
question as to the quality of nerve to
meet the emergencies of the four years
beginning March 4, 1917.
