We wonder how much the infusion
of pep into the editorial columns of
the st. Adams Messenger is due to
the presence of Congressman Greene in
his home city. We also expect to hear
the question asked pretty soon just how
(no pun is intended) active a part Mr..
Greene is taking or expects to take in
the contest under way for the Repub-
lean nomination for governor. Hands
off " might be good politics and good
Burlington News.
Frank L. Grcene's presence in "his
home city" was due to the fact that
his wife went to hospital for a surgi-
cal operation and that her condition
for several days after it was performed
was very serious. We do not believe
that Mr.. Greene has had any connec-
tion with the editorial policies of the
Messenger in a long time, or that he
is working in behalf of any candidate
for the governorship, although he
would naturally have a personal pref
erence. There is one word which fits
the innuendo which the News has hand
ed out. That word is nasty.

New OYak Fashions.

Dyak is a word which conveys to
most folk the idea of q people whose
tribal pastime consists in cutting off
the heads of their neighbors and p
serving the dried skulls as ornaments
for their homes. When the first mis-
sionaries went to Borneo, where the
Dyaks live, they were fortunate if
they kept their heads on their shoul-
ders. Today the Dyaks have ceased
head hunting. have given themselves
to farming and have taken on clothes
and other evidences of civilization.

Ono of the important matters to be
considered in August by every family
with children in school is to see that
the children are in proper physical con
ditiou before the session opens. Each
child should be given a thorough going

three weeks before school begins lie
should be asked whether he thinks the
child needs an examination by an ocu-
