To Keep Phone Cord Straight.

A new conrtivance described IN
Scientific American promises to keep
the kinks out of flexible telephone
cords. The device consists of "two
small composition parts turning on a
central spindle, all inclosed in two
brass shells or covers. Between the
two rotating parts are two ball races
that serve both as fractional bearings
and as conducting means. The cord
terminals are easily connected to the
binding screws on each part and there
is ample room for strain knot within
each shell. The freedom Of the swivel
ing of the two halves eliminates the
snarling Of the cord"

the great armadillO Of south Central

fact we'll known to most people that
the normal Or average number Of teeth
in mammals is thirty-twO-sixteen

exception, having from 90 to 100. He
has from twenty-four to twenty-six in
each side of the upper jaw and from
twenty-five to twenty-fOur in each side
of the lower jaw. Another popularity
lies in the fact that they are all molars

LOYALTY MEETINGS

Secretary Tumulty Will Bring Mes
sage from President-Secretary
Houston and Others

Representatives of the Govern
ment are back of the Northwestern
Loyalty conventions to be held at st.
Paul November 18th and Mime
apolis, November 18th.
Robert W. Hargadine, secretary
of the committee, has received tele-
gram from George Creel, chairman
of the Committee on Information at
WASHINGTON, advising him that al
though President Wilson cannot be
present in person, he will be repre-
sented by his private secretary,
Joseph P. Tumulty, with personal
message from the President, and that
Secretary of Agriculture, David
Houston, will deliver ringing mes
sage to the Northwest.
Arrangements have been COM
pleted to accommodate delegates as
we'll as all who attend from the dis
tricts throughout Minnesota outside
of St. Paul and Minneapolis, and
these will be seated before other
delegations are taken care of at the
St. Paul and Minneapolis auditor
iums.
Some idea of the immense size of
these gatherings may be CLEANED
from the fact that practically every
county in the state has held a large
and enthusiastic local meeting to ar
range to send delegations, and all
will participate in the monster 10y
atty parade. More than half of the
delegations will bring their own
bands for this purpose.
The French Government will be
represented by NJ. Eduard de Billy,
Delegate General at Washington, re-
presenting the French Republic.
Others who will speak at the conven-
ton include Otto Kahn of New
York; Clarence barrow, noted cOun-
sci for organized labor, of Chicago;
John P. White, President of the Uni
ted Mine Workers; MOnteVille Flow
ers, President Of the International

"and that is Americanism."
The Students Club

On Monday afternoon of this
week the Students Club met at the
home of Mrs. F. A. Hancock. Each
member was privileged to invite a
guest and a large number of ladies
we're present.
The meeting was in charge Of the
President, Mrs. J. G. Morrison. AS
the secretary was absent. Mrs. L.
C. Spooner was secretary protein
pore.
The usual preliminary business
was transacted and a letter read
which had been received by a friend
from Master Howard Higbie, the son
of the former Supt. of the Agricul-
tural School. The young man wrote
that he was seeing things" and
learning much. He closed his letter
with a postscript saying that he was
knitting a scarf for a soldier boy"
and he tried to clean up his plate
each time"
Mrs. Stebbins was leader of the
program for the day and conducted
a drill in patriotism and food con-
servation. In order to help our coun-
try we must fight, farm, give, invest,
conserve and boost.
Miss keenan, of the faculty of the
Agricultural School was introduce
and gave talk on Efficiency in the
Home" She was listened to with
close attention. Among the factors
which would contribute to the de-
sired result we're the use of a budget
system for the expenses, a schedule
for the kinds of work and allotted
time for each.
Routing the work was a third
factor. If possible have a kitchen
arranged so that the receiving, the
preparation and serving of food each
should have it's particular place and
order so that time and steps might
be conserved. If the hOusekeeper
kept before her an ideal and worked
to that end not only she herself
would be benefited but her home,
and also the community in which
she lived.
Mrs Stebbins then discussed
Booth Harrington and his writings
and read two humorous selections
from his book, "Penrod."
While the program was being car
ried on the ladies were busy hem
! ming towels for the Red Cross work,
about fifty being made.
At the close of the days work the
hostess served dainty lunch which
Melted goodly sum, which will help
purchase the articles for the Christ
mas boxes which the club expects to
send to the soldier boys who have
gone from the county.

Until a century and a half ago Eng

archery, the then sport of kings. The
law against it was vigorously enforced
and every person convicted Of playing
the game was fined E1O or sent to pris

HeIqoIand.

Centuries ago Helgoland, in the
North sea, was at least five times its
present size, and a place Of no little
Importance. Like so many islands, it
had a peculiar attraction for the peO-
pies of the surrounding mainlands.
They stood in awe of it, and mythology
early claimed it for it's own. Here the
Forset1, the god of justice, had tenn
pie, as had also, according to another
tradition, the goddess Hetha, a special
object of veneration among the Angles
of the mainland. Later on it was the
realm of the pagan king, Radbod, and
it was hither that st. WilEbrod came,
in the seventh century, preaching
Christianity.
