EARS

Our ears are all wrong.
They got up on the side Of our
heads in the first place because there
wasn't room for them anywhere
else. And there they sit, wide open
all the time. The worst of it is, they
will listen to anything - insurance
agents, Sunday sermons, bum jokes,
bill collectors, wrangling cats or
peevish wives. It's all the same to
them.
There's no escape. If you don't
want to listen, go deaf. And even
then there are trumpets.
Elephants have all the luck. They
can let down the flaps.

the alley that led to the stage door.
I'm going to my ROOM l ex-

completely UnneTved by meeting that
darling baby and her sweet mother.
You certainly aren't going to
turn us down, are you, Paula?' spoke

both hands outstretched, forgetting
my flowers, which fell to the side

time to pick them up and our heads
came together with such an impact
that think we both saw stars.
Here, here, you children, get up
and let Alma introduce me to Miss
Newton

said: I'll do nothing of the kind for

and classmate to you, Paula, my

And is Jeff your best friend, too,
Miss NewtOn?'
" Nothing of the sort, Tom,'
broke in Jeff. I'm just the red-head-
ed, freckle-faced grocery boy who
used to deliver meat and vegetables
to the area gate of the wonderful
house that belonged to Paula's ia
ther.
I wonder if you remember the
time, Paula continued jeff, when
you snubbed me so numerically by
telling me that unless I stopped de-

Poor Jeff, I should think you

Just then I noticed a splendid

Jeff and off we started.
DO you know, Margie, such is the
unconscious unconcern of youth that
l forgot from that moment that was
anything but Paula Newton out with
other young people for lark.
Honestly, Margie, really think
we made that ten miles in fifteen
minutes. Jeff did not say much and
l was so happy just to be with these
joyous spirits that l was perfectly
content to be silent.

good that simple dinner of chicken

Non-Pa Partisan Leader
Will Leave Fargo

e Fargo, Dec. 21.-The Nonpartisan
Leader, the official organ Of the Ma
tional Nonpartisian League, which
has been in Fargo over two years,
will be removed to st. Paul.
Announcement was made today to
the effect that the mechanical depart
ment Of The Leader would be taken
to st. Paul within a few days,
The change has beenmadeneces-
sary because. of: the growing circula-
ton, and the necessity for establish
ing an entire new plan if we were to
continue publication in Fargo" said
a league leader today.
'sIn St. Paul, we will maintain our
own mechanical department, to the
extent that we will set up the paper
and make up the forms. It will be
printed on magazine presses in a ST.
Paul printing office.
"All mechanical work on the ma
tional edition, as we'll as on the sew
eral state editions, will be done in St.
Paul. We will retain in Fargo, how
ever, the eitorial Offices of the North
Dakota edition of The Leader, just as
we maintained state Offices Of the

Expert U-Boat Trapper.

There is a Gordon Campbell who is
the mystery man" Of the British navy.
He has been given the %. s. o. and the
V. c., and now he has five silver bars
on his ribbons. But not word Of ex-
PLANTATION has ever appeared in the Of
fetal gazette. His name and his new
honors have been printed, and that is
all, writes correspondent.
The explanation is that he IS en-
gagged in U-boat trapping. The stories
told of his exploits are intensely inter-
esting and amusing, but must not be
repeated as yet. In a general way 1t
may be said that he is almost lab
surdly without fear, and that the de-
vices by which he catches the Han are
immensely clever.
"He came in the other day from a
cruise" said a navy man. "One-third
of his crew was on strike. They said
they would never put to sen again with
such an absolute mailman.
"The remaining two-thirds said they
would not put to sea with anyone
else"

Overcoming Camoufage.

An American physicist believes that
the advantages of camoutlage- al
least certain kinds Of camou1age-
can be overcome by an opposing army
by providing it's airmen and other
scouts with colored glasses or screens
Of contrasting colors to use with field
glasses, notes Popular Mechanics
Magazine. When the colors of these
screens are properly selected, uni.
forms and other objects may be made
to appear in contrast, instead of IN
harmony, with their surroundings, he
claims. Camouflage as practiced In
many cases is accomplished largely by
the use If paint, objects being given
shades, that blend with the landscape.
In spite Of certain difficulties that
would arise, it is believed that such
efforts at concealntent could be rem.
dered quite Intellectual by the means
stated.

By the exercise of strict economy,
the northwestern states hope to get
along for the next three months with

Naval Supremacy.

Sir Cyprian Bridge has said cone of
the functions Of a fleet is the defense
of commerce. There is. no more. i'm,
portant function for a fleet than this,
writes John Hays Hammond, Jr., In
I've Atlantic Monthly. A nation may
subjugated by direct invasion, or it
may be isolated from the world by
blockade. If the blockade be suffi-
GENTLY long, and effectively maintain-
ed, it will ruin the nation as effectual-
~ as direct invasion. Thus, in the
