Listen to what Herman Rosenfield,
Adertivsing Manager of Sears, Roe
buck & Company, recently told the
members of the American AID Club at
a convention. "We have a bureau
whose duty it is to read each week
the country newspapers from all over
the country. There is noa a paper of
any consequence in our trade territory
that our bureau does not get. This

Every boy is interested more or less
in flying. That's why he makes kites.
In the October Woman's Home Com
panion, a writer says:
Model aeroplanes designed and built
by American boys have flown more
than a mile, sailing aloft by their own
power for over three minutes. Many
boys will remember the first model
aeroplanes, which would fly about for
only a few feet at a time. For sew
eral years a flight of one hundred
feet was considered a triumph. Thou
sands of boys in all parts of the coun-
try have been working at the prob
lem; countless models have been built
and flown, and every conceivable ma
terial used in their construction. The
recent models now seem to be practi-
cally perfect in their way.
"The interest in model aeroplane
building is widespread and there are a
surprising number of clubs devoted to
model building and flying. These
clubs, in fact, play a very important
part in the growth of the sport. They
enable the boys of any town or city
to come together and exchange ideas
and mutually assist one another"

And now the Non-Partisan League
of North Dakota has been found to
be dominated by I. w. w. and So
cialistic influence. No wonder the
North Dakota governor has not dealt
with the I. w. w. menace in the man
ner expected. And no wonder so lit
tie of actual good was ACCOMPLISHED
in the last North dakota legislative
session. It looks as though the farm
ers of that state had something slip
ped over them. It was their good
money which put into Office the league
candidates. It was not apparent then
that the forces of the political organ
ization were opposed to the farmers.
No wonder the Minnesota Non-Parti-
san society is averse to giving tae
North Dakota organization a chance
to dupe Gopher agarians.-virginia
