1t Is interesting to note
that MANY of our great
inventions have come
while in search of some
t h ing entirely different
from that which resulted.
Wondering what caused
the lid of the tea kettle
to jump up and down gave
US steam to drive our en-
gines.
Tying to discover the
stuff of which lightning
is made led to the use Of
electricity.
The apple falling from a
tree brought US the law of
gravitation.
Now all these and many
more things existed for
thousands upon thousands
per aps millions - of
years, but were passed by
unnoticed.
Every day we see with
unseeing eyes attibutes of
nature and of science
which will be just as revo-
lutionary to our modes Of
life when discovered as
those mentioned above.

Those famed circle dinners are still
we'll patronizsd and no wonder. Such
ample, sppetizing meals at Is cents are
cheaper than a dinner at home of cold
potatoes and herring. Not much money
in it for those who furnish the feed, but
a good social, enjoyable occasion, pro-
ductive of good cheer and an appeased
appetite. A good remedy for disquietude
and bolshevistic tendencies. A well
filed stomach of good digestible food
promotes peace and harmony better than
Hooverism.
