THE PHILOSOPHERS STONE

Sir Ernest Rutherford. the dis
tinEuished scientist cables the an
nounccment from Paris that the secret
OF transmutation Of matter has been
solved. Ever since man began to e1-
pertinent with material elements he has
sought some method Of Transforming
tn. baser metals into the hner. TO make
iron and lead into gold and silver. The
dream Of the philosophers stone was
cherished through the Middle Ages. and
more than one Of the old e1perimenters
followed the dream until insanity or &C
cident ended their earthly labors.
Science has been doing 50 many won
derful things during the past half cen
,ury that no one Is prepared to say with
absolute gertrude that the transmuta-
ton Of metals is not possible We have
learned how, for instance to manufac-
ture diamonds. and many other precious
stones; 10 produce pearls as beautiful
and more perfect than those produced
by the oyster, and from crude materials
to manufacture rubber quite as good as
that taken from the rubber tree.
Sir Ernest Rutherford's transmuta-
ton of enc metallic form TO another
may be- and probably is. only scten-
,ifc experiment at the present time. a
study in the breathing up Of complex
materials into their component ele-
ments. and their reassembling in an
other form.

PLAN WINTER MENU.

The plan now for the right feed
ing of Minnesota dairy COWS next win
ter is to be wise in time" to use a
favorite phrase coined by Theodore
Roosevelt, who used to say "Nine
Tenths of wisdom is being wise in
time" Successful dairy feeding in
Minnesota, says C. H. ,Eckles, head of
the dairy husbandry division at Uni
yersity farm, means either corn sill
age or roots for succulent feed, and
clover or alfalfa for hay. The impor-
tant thing, adds Mr.. Eckles is to have
a silo full of silage wherever corn
is a safe crop, or root cellar stocked
with mangels where the corn is uncer-
tain. With this and plenty of good le-
gume hay, the cows will scarcely know
when they change from grass to their
winter ration. So to provide for dairy
cows is to "wise in time"

out, and receptive candidates to stay

men of the party-chosen because of
heir standing as men and as Republi-
cans rather than on account of their
preference for any certain candidates
for governor consider what gu
bernatorial material there is in the Re-

the man who would make the best
governor, whether that man be one of
those who have been mentioned or not.
That might eliminate the self-ap-

Urges Christensen
DAWSON REPRESENTATIVE AND
EDITOR WARNS ASPIRANTS
FOR GOVERNORSHIP.

An appeal to all Republicans to ''let
the party at the next election to run
for governor at the next election has
been sounded by Representative The
Odore Christensen, chairman of the
Appropriations committee in the Min
nesota House and one of the Repub-
lican leaders.
Mr.. Christianson's appeal is pub
lished in his paper, the Dawson Senti-
mel He points out the danger of aspi-
rants for gubernatorial honors getting
into the race now only to have to con-
sent to an elimination convention later
on. He emphasizes clearly the danger
that will result if the Republicans are
divided and the Townleyites go into the
Republican primaries organized.
Conference Held Certain.
The Dawson representative takes the
position that there is certain to be a
voluntary conference to select candi-
date. He believes that seekers should
await the dictim of that conference
rather than get into the game this
early and then have to submit to elimi-
nation.
Mr.. Christensen sums up his argu-
ment in this manner:
"The only way to insure that a Re
publican be nominated for governor on
the Republican ticket next year is for

STOP, LOOK, LISTEN!

Aligning class against class is con-
sidered one of the chief causes for un-
rest, for discomfort and for strife. At
best, it is deplorable. Because this
is true this paper is promulgating this
writing.
At meeting held Sunday, the local
branch of the paper makers union pass
ed resolutions censuring the local COM
mercial club for sending certain work
out of town. At whose behest, wheth-
er the action was taken with full
knowledge of all the facts in the mat
ter, this paper is not prepared to state.
However, one thing is certain: The
principle of sending out of town for
services, goods or other needful things
that can be obtained in town is wrong.
The point which it is desired to make
however, is that it is intensely more
wrong for a newspaper which claims
to have the best interest of the town
at heart to foster between the men III
business in the village and the journey
men working In the community feel
ing of antagonism.
And that is what was done this
week by local newspaper. The news

of the bad scamp, as an example of
the fellow who follows the bell wheth-
er of the flock as an example of men
who are doing their utmost to tear
down the town all have joined in build
ing.
In an editorial the newspaper refer
ed to charged directly that an action
of the commercial club in letting a
certain job was taken as result OF
''the Industrious efforts of local as
pirants to political bossism"- the
majority of two to one of the CONNER
cial club membership-includ
some of the foremost business men
of the village-was led around by the
nose by these alleged "aspirants."
It's really too bad that the sound
ness Of the intelligence of Grand Rap
ids business men has been thus at
tached.
It's pity that the honesty of these
men who are doing what they can for
the community has been questioned.
There is cause to regret that the

church large Sunday evening audiences
is advertisements which compel peo-
pie to think and talk. 1t carries in
the newspaper with the largest cir
tculation in he city an advertisement
eleven by six inches in size. These
advertisements do not say in small let
tiers in single line: Sermon on Re-
pentance at $50 p. m" They spread
across eleven inches in great, black
type, so it cannot escape the eye, some
thing like this: IA Dancing Girls
Tragedy" When there is to be SER
mon on healthy amusements the
church does not slip in little line
which no one will see, saying: "Ser-
mon on Amusement. Come and bring
your friends" The advertisement
runs across the top of the page: "Mo-
vie Girls, Dancing Boys and Card
Playing Women" The former would
not have drawn ten people to the
church; the latter fills the church.
Here are some of the eleven-inch black
type lines. Betting Your Life That
There Is God" a sermon on faith;
"'What Kind of Girl Not to Marry"
sermon on making home; "The Fats
Young man." sermon on the prodl-
gal son.
The First church is surrounded by
motion picture shows open on Sunday
evenings. Crowds flock to them. The
church can never make these people
want to come to it's services unless it
first gains their attention. Unless
preachers surrender their false notions
of dignity the church will be passed
by these people.

seeds of misunderstanding between
the men in business and the laboring
men have been soWn.
And that is what the editorial re-
ferred to did.
Insulting the intelligence and judg-
ment of a man or body of men is a
mighty poor way to get him or them
to continue the gratis and mappreci-
ated work of helping to boost the COM
munity. Questioning mems honesty in
public undertakings will not encourage
! them to continue contributing of their
i time and money for the betterment of
the community. Aligning business
even if it is the little business man
against labor is bad medicine, especi-
ally>at this time where there is more
need of cooperation business and Ia
Dor than ever before.
| This paper has no quarrel with union
labor. AS matter of fact, the writer
is member of the Typographical uni
on, and the Independent was the lead
er in the movement to organize the
printing industry in Grand Rapids i'll
order to enable itself to secure the
best men in the printing trade. The
local organized labor's contention that
home firms should be patronized in
every instance where the product de-
sired can be secured at home is well
taken
On the other hand, however, the ac-
ton on the part of any individual or
firm in heaping abuse on the local
business men accusing them of be-
ing dominated by political and other
Interior motives, intimating graft"
on their part, is anything but a help
to community building, and is deserv-
ing of censure.-Itasca County indie

church announcements. Most of them
are obituary notices of dead churches.
They may be perused by few saints
who have formed the habit of looking
over the death notices, but they would
never attract'the attention of any man
who was not in the habit of going to
church. If theaters and stores adj
vertised as churches do they would
close their doors in six months. 1t is
a great testimony to the power of re-
ligion that churches can live and pur-
sue their present methods.
