of which Mrs. e. c. Bennett is the
chairman. This committee did splen-
did work all during the winter in
meeting and entertaining the tourists
and winter visitors to the city and
the work of his committee resulted
in SO much good that it will of course
become permanent committee in
the club work.
Mrs. G. r. Tydings read the annual
report of the president in which she
made number of communications
to the club, all of which were unani-
mously adopted, the principal ones
being that a number of the minor
committees will be incorporated in
the more important committees, thus
eliminating several chairmen and do
ing away with so many reports along
lines so similar.
Mrs. Tydings also put before the
club for discussion the proposition
made to the club by Mr. A. A. Winer
Mr.. Winer offered to deed to the club
seventeen and one-half feet of his
property just north of the club house
for a distance of five hundred feet
to be used for widening Tuscawilla

house direct to the property to be
made into a beautiful park by the
Woman's club The provision thai
Mr.. Winner made was that the clut
should build a cement sidewalk il

correspond to the walks already or
said street. By the acceptance OF

1t is planned that the trees down the
driveway will be in honor of the
boys who went overseas and th)se

other soldier boys who went from
us to answer to the country's call
and who did their duty just as gal

After some discussion of Mr.
Winer's proposition it was accepted
and the members of the club will
go Immediately to work to raise the
fund for this splendid project that
they now have in view and which
will require the expenditure of quite
a large sum of money; but where
there's will there's a way" and
the members of the Ocala Woman
club expect to let nothing deter them
from this plan
Mrs. Tydings also reported for the
special committee appointed to pre-
pare and serve the Rotarian banquet
that the members were greatly de
lighted with this affair and in appre
citation of their pleasure sent the
club a very substantial check for
their work in serving the said ban
quet.
The musical numbers for the af
ternoon were furnished by Annie
MacKay, who rendered two piano
solos; Carolyn and Babetta Peyser
who played piano duet and by lit
tie Lucie Johnson. who sang and
danced most delightfully."-.
The clubs new officers were then
presented to the club and eacn one
spoke few words in assuming their
Office.
These new officers will be for
mally installed at the last meeting
of the club, May seventeenth,
which will be musical and silver
tea and will be meeting open to
the public.
The hostesses at the social half
hour Saturday were Mrs. e. c. Ben
nett, Mrs. Fanny Anthony and Mrs.
w. D. earn. On account of illness
neither Mrs. earn nor Mrs. Anthony
were able to be present so Mrs. Ben
nett was assisted in serving iced
punch and cakes by Mrs. H. L. Bor-
land, Mrs. H. w. Henry and Mrs w.

WITH THE EDITORS
REGRETS AT FEDERAL LAW SUIT

Regrets have been expressed that the law suit
started in the U. S. Federal court to hold up all
the legislation known as the industrial laws of the
state, has been undertaken at this time. The suit
is based on the claim that the state is prohibited
under the constitution of the United States from
engaging in private business, and an injunction
was asked from the Federal court to restrain state
officials of North Dakota from attempting to put
into effect the several laws passed at the last
sion of the legislature and what are generally
known as the industrial program of the Nonparti-
san league. The injunction is asked against the
expenditure of any of the public moneys author
lied by these laws or the investment of state
school funds in state bonds. Seven laws passed
by the legislature are attacked in the suit. The
laws being the state industrial commission act
the state bank law, the two million dollar bond
issue for state bank capital, the terminal elevator
and flour MILL the five million dollar bond for ter
minal elevators, the home builders act and the ten
million dollar real estate bonds The defendants
are the governor and various state officers,
charged by the law with the enforcement of the
acts. The compliments are residents of the state
from various counties. The case will be tried by
Judge Amidon but there is no indication of when
the hearing will be held
Under the process of referending these laws and
initiating others, now underway in the state the
same questions involved in this federal law suit are
now being settled by the people of the state them
selves. It seems as if this is the right way that
it should be done. The settlement will be fairly
brought about and the people of the state will be
better satisfied with the solving Of their own
problems in their own way, than in the manner
contemplated in the action brought in the federal
court Jamestown Alert.

A CORRECTION

A CORRECTION
State Historical Society Of North
Dakota. Trustee of the State,
Bismarck. N. d. April 8, 1919.
Bismarck Tribune:
Dear Mr.. Price: In this evenings
paper again see mention OF the four
storey History Building" This ex-
preston "four-storey, building" has
been used in every reference made In
the Tribune relative to the proposed
new building. Now the fact is that
the act of legislature which authorizes
the building does not say how many
storeys it is to be,-whether one storey
or ten. That is properly left, as it
should be to the committee in charge,
taking under advisement plans submit
ted by the building architect. You can
see that if the law prescribed the num-
Der of storeys it would be fatal mis-
take. The act leaves the building to
be constructed according to the best
and most suitable available plan, just
as it should.
If you will take the trouble to glance
at the bill YOU will find there is not
word in it to say that the building
is to be -four storeys'' in height, nor
is Al word said as to the number OF
stOreys.
Yours truly,
MELVIN II. GILMORE.

HOUSEPAINTING TIME

Man, Man, what a horrible time it is for us
mere males when the home is being painted over
again, inside and out. The glorious springtime
seems hardly worth while at all when the painting
season is in full sway. You sure do wish the fuss
ing and fretting was over and your old arm chair
was back in it's usual place and your tobacco jars
and pipes were where you could fin dthem in
stead Of being scattered hither and yon in out OF
the way corners and all clogged up with putty and
paint. e -
But the wife says it's all for the best and what
the wife says, goes, when it comes to household
matters Consequently you sleep in the bath tub,
dress in the cellar next the coal bin and comb your
hair by instinct because the mirrors are swathed
in bandages and stored away until the paint 81
moon shall have ceased from troubling and the
odor of benzine is no more.
The worst Of it is you won't like the job when
it's finished.
You'll think the rooms that are red should be
green and the rooms that are green should be red
and you'll be growing for months because you
can't locate your pet penwiper something like
that.
But that's because you're mere man and your
opinions don't count and you're nothing but
pest and nuisance around a house anyhow!

FINGERS FOR EYES

FINGERS FOR EYES g.,
Wouldn't it be strange if you had
to learn everything through your fin
gers? They are teaching classes of
blind children in the American Mu-
scum Of Natural History in New York
and it's all finger work. They feel the
mountains, valleys and oceans with
their fingers on. relief maps. When
an arctic explorer ,lectured, he brought
sledge dogs and all the children petted
the dogs and rizzled their fingers thru
the crinkly, lcrisply hair. What life
making fingers do the work of eyes!
Frank Trautloff, Atchison, Kas., left
a widower Is years ago, brought up
his family of nine children without
the aid of a woman. He did all their
mending as well;as the housework and
cooking in addition to having success
fully managed the farm.
In the Spring
A young mans fancy turneth to
thoughts of love. Now there's Ken
meth Swan, two and q half years old,
of Evanston, Ill.,, and Miss Lille Dove,
one and a half, also of Evanston. They
eloped!
Lilies mother asked the cop to call
a policeman quick.
"My little. girl has run away!"
Eight blocks away they found the
elopers. Kenneth was peddling away
for dear life on the latest model tri-
cycle, with Lille hanging on behind.
HOWEVER,
Love is just as transitory when one
is older. James Harvey Hart, Brook
lyn, N. Y, aged 81, is being sued by
his 18-year-old wife. They parted i'm
mediately after their three week
honeymoon.
World coal supply Is little over A. IL
trillion tons. And now reckoned, it
will run out about 1000 years from
now, -sE.
For our part, we reckon there is one
thing most of us are sure about. That
is, if they don't find a substitute for
coal as a fuel, then excuse US if we
should refuse to be head of the fuel
administration 1000 years hence.

HEROES ARE HUMAN

When we realize that heroes are human, with
the same desires and aversions, the same weari-
ness and weaknesses, the same anxetes, troubles,
temptations and necessities the rest of us, there
may be less high talking but there should be more
real doing. s.-,. @ .....> ........ -..,..
That the man who crept across No Mans Land
target for all the many devised deaths, to rescue
q pal, may become a homeless tramp is simple
fact. He may have been one before he went on
AG'Great Adventure: Or he may not. ~i
/. The hero has been we'll fed, sheltered, clothed,
medically cared for trained to act with others, to
disregard danger and to die for ideals with little
talk about them He was sent away with profuse
promises and plaudits, told that he was going to
save the world, to make it better and to be well
coined back to the bounty of grateful nation. He
has returned to be reminded Of these promises
through momentary outburst of fulsome flat
tery then told to look for job and scolded if he
does not take the first one offered.
He finds that while he was collecting souvenirs
and experience some of those at home were accu-
mulating most substantial emoluments. He hears
it said that all this talk about dying for democ-
racy" was bunk" and sometimes feels little as
if he had been buncoed. While he may not have
taken all the pre-war promises seriously he does
not feel that there should be unseemly haste in
repudiating them. ,~ -z -. u r.,
Subjecting millions of ordinary human beings
to such extraordinary experiences produces great
results n - '".
The soldier learned the possibilities of united
action. He saw what could be done when men and
money are spent without stint. He knows that the
impossible has been moved far beyond its pre-war
boundaries. -
He has learned to respect organization, practice
discipline and fear nothing. He has learned to
choose and follow leaders or to act, when neces-
sary, without them. He can do and dare things
in his daily work that were once beyond his
dreams. &
Instead of wondering what we will do with
and for the heroes we had better wonder what
they will do to and for us. Politically and econom-
ically they are the largest compact, commonly ex-
perienced, and, therefore, on many points COM
monty minded mass this, or any nation ever knew
They will run our industries carry our cleo
tions, control our society for generation. They
will do this the easier because the things they
want are what we all want.
They want better jobs, with as good food cloth
ing, care, education, amusement and other privi-
leges as they enjoyed in uniform. They want
security against war, poverty and injustice
1 Being human as well as heroes they will will
insly work with all of us to secure these things
peaceful1y. But they will not be easy to bully,
decisive or defeat.

Her growth can be checked only by delicate

NJ Henrion estimated that Eve was 118 feet 9
inches tall. If Adam was like us, he had to climb

Other scientists disagree-claim that man has

tary gland for that. Century after century it re-
mains normal. Diseases of it are rare.

Old European cities have statues Of legendary
giant inhabitants of the past. In Douai, one Of
Gayant, reputed to stand 22 feet in his socks.
Antwerp had Mr.. Antigonus, 40 feet tall. London
has effigies in the Guildhall, of Cog and Magog,
l4-foot giants who once terrorized the southwest
ern coast. -.n.'. >}n-@ "
All these are mythical. ..
The tallest man in history about whom we have
reliable figures was Machnow, a nine-foot-three

in 1905. Machnow had other things wrong with

An operation on his brain in childhood would
have kept him normal.
The smallest man in authentic history was
Phetas, intellectual valet of Ptolmy Phiadelphus,
Egyptian king. So tiny was Philetas, according
to historians of his day. that he had to wear great
leaden shoes to keep the wind from blowing him
away. Maybe the historians had sense of
humor.
