GOVERNOR APPEALS
FOR THE RED CROSS

Governor Burnquist is a hearty
supporter of the Third Roll Call of
the Minnesota Red Cross, and in his
proclamation to the people of the
state he asks every one to help, and
says:.
"The American Red Cross is plan
ming to make November second Red
Cross Sunday and the week Of No
vember third to eleventh, Red Cross
week. .~''
I'VE should at this time show
through contributions ohr% apprecia-
tion Of the wonderful work done by
this efficient organization, both at
home and abroad. Although the
World war is over, there Is much
work yet to be done. There are starv-
ing and suffering people in the war
torn countries to be cared for. There
are many problems of public health,
relief of poverty, preparedness for
possible calamities, and the like to be
solved in this country. No organi-
cation can perform this kind Of serv-
ice as capably as the American Red
Cross.
''Permit me, therefore, to urge that
on Red Cross Sunday special atten-
ton be given at all public meetings,
churches and elsewhere to the need
of funds Tor this purpose and that
the people of Minnesota cooperate in
every possible manner in the cam
paign planned for Red Cross week.
J. A. A. BURNQUIST,
Governor.

NUMBERS RULE
NATURES WORK
Miss Holbrook Lectures on
Teachings ofPythagoras,
Mystic Philosopher.

The Science of Numbers" was the
subject of an address by Miss Isabel
B. Holbrook. national lecturer of the
Theosophical Society. delivered last
evening at Theosophical Hall. 12l6 II
street northwest.
The lecturer dealt with the subject
from the viewpoint of the teachings
of Pythagoras, the mystic philosopher
OF the sixth century B. c.. who held
that number pervades all things. and
is the principle of rational order in
the universe.
According to the philosophy of the
Pythagoreans, said Miss Holbrook,
the word number does not cOnnote
the same idea as it does when used
in the common parlance of today: 1t
corresponds more closely to the idea
OF form, and is intimately associated
with the law of vibration.
The address was the first of Sc
ries on the subject of number and the
lecturer confined herself to the sig
nificance of the numbers one and two.
explaining that "one" represents unity
or oneness. and two" separation, or
duality. and showing how these num-
bers occur again and again in all
aspects of nature. The entire science
of number. declared Miss HOlbrook
is summed up in the Tetractys, a
mathematical design evolved by
Pythagoras for his pupils.

agents to be sent to the South for
the purpose OF persuading planters
there, especially In Florida and Texas
to the castor bean This appeal met
with excellent response. Some of the
orange planters in Florida began the
cultivation of the castor bean upon
a large scale. The government pro-
vided seed About one-third of the
seed that was planted came from
Mexico; the rest was imported from
the East Indies. What was the as
tonishment of the planters to learn
when the seeds germinated and the
vines appeared and harvesting began
that the Mexican seed furnished far
better plants than did the Bombay
seed. In fact, this Far Eastern seed
was discovered to be practically
worthless. Whether the experiment
is to he tried again this year or not
none of the planters seem to know.
But the amount Of castor oil that is
plants was utterly inadequate to meet
the needs of the American airplanes.
England. however. did use and is
now using an American formula for
lubricating her airplanes and appar-
emily with great success. When the
perfect lubricant is provided-and
some of the best authorities believe
that II Is now made in the United
States-then in all probability every
detail necessary for the successful op-

After their furlough ends, most of
