THE SONG OF THE ENGINE.

When an automobile runs perfectly
it always sings a song. Some proud
owners of a perfectly healthy car will
joyfully ask their friends to Histen to
it 'purr'."
At night, with such, a car, when
ones attention is not distracted by
passing things, and there is q feel
ing Of being at peace with the whole
world, one listens to the. rhythmic
beat Of the engine and sub-conscious-
ly catches the words Of its song, as it
reports again and again: 20! mag.
neto ignition is certain, it ne'er causes
worry or plight, an tits comfort to
know, when a-touring you 60, that
you won't be hung up all night"

Hand Picked T0wnley's
Man Proves Unfit Fill
Position He Was Given
Especial to the Daily Worldl.

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 24.-At least
one hand-picked Townleyite, c. E. Ca
vett is not fit to held the Office and
one duty of which she has been shown
will be returned to State Superlntend-
ent of Public Instruction, Miss Minnie
Nelson, or else the state will have to
come through wit ha couple of thou.
sand dollars additional each year.
Federal agents have declared c. +.
Cavett, present director of vocational
education, to be absolutely unqualified
to hold the position. This position is
comparatively created by the federal
and state governments, each paying
half Of the $4,000 Il year salary and
the expenses of the office.
Under the qualifications in the
estate plans Of operation of vocation
at training" the director must be a
graduate Of an agricultural college, OF
must have had so many years study
in farm work and be a graduate of a
normal school or university. Cavett
is neither according to federal reports.
Under the Smith Hughes federal
act the superintendent of schools in
various states becomes the executive
officer of the government for the state.
Miss Minnie Nelson under this law
appointed Charles G. Carlson who met
all requirements
When the new board of administra-
ton began to strip Miss Nelson of all
duties, the vocational training depart
ment was among the first to be grab
bed. Carlson was relieved of duty and
Cavett named not only director of vo-
cational training, but state executive
officer as well. Cavett was one of the
Lonesome two county superintendent
who supported Neil C. Macdonald
yes he had a farm-he also was a Non
Partisan Lacquer, which was qualified
enough.
But the government says when quail
lfications are set forth, a mar must
meet them and MI. Cavett is through.

Bismarck, N. D., 24.-That take.
this year will be increased over dou'
BILE last years on an assessed valuat,

Tie state assessed valuation of al
property is placed at 4,514,0O0,0Ot
as compared to $402.422,25S last year
There will be a total of $2.98 mills
levied for state purposes to provide
$~4,511,760 for expenses of running
the state as compared to $1,713,AO8.11
the total last years expense. OF

Dear Aunt Polly:

Dear Aunt Polly:
Why don't they have any big
vaudevilles any more?-EM.
Dear E. M
Probably the reason that there
have not been any big vaudevilles
in Richmond for SO long, is that
people are more interested in
movies or musical shows, called
musical comedies, and do not care
so much to see a vaudeville show.
War has hit the stage, too, for the
last two years, and many of the en-
tertainers have been serving their
country in one way or another, so
that there is not as much talent as
there used to be, on the show mar
ket (for you know people buy and
sell talent, just the same as you
buy eggs. But the biggest reason
is probably that vaudeville isn't as
stylish" now as it was for a long
while, simply because the people
want something else for variety

Part One

The doors to the castle were
opened by two tall men dressed il
velvet suits with fancy trimmings
The party entered a large hall
with high ceiling from which
hung giant chandeliers. The cell
ing and walls were covered with
paintings. On one side of the hal
was a wide marble stairway which
led to The upper floor, and huge
arch on the other side led into the
main reception room of the castle
This room was awfully large, the
children thought. The costly paint
ings and elegant furniture, made il
a wonderful room. But even after
seeing this room the children were
startled when the king led them
and queen entertained their people
at affairs of state. This room
was three or four times as big as
the chi'dren's whole house at home,
they thought, and was lined with
mirrors. The ceilings were COW

the dOOrways were hung with tap

The floor was inlad with what
seemed like hundred different
kinds of marble in fancy patterns,
and was highly polished. Large
rugs were scattered about the
floor Every one of the rugs, Jane
thought, would more than fill an
ordinary room.
The children would have been
awed by the size and magniflcence
of the castle had not the king and
queen made them feel at home i'm
mediatcly.
The little folks and their friends
were shown to the rooms they
would Occupy in the castle, and
these, too, were magnificent.
Each one of the little folks had
big room. The walls in James
room were papered with brOcaded
blue satin-the windows hung with
satin CT the same shade. The bed
had a canopy over it, just like Jane
had seen in pictures of castles, and
the little furniture was all white
with blue rOsebuds scattered over
it. The carpet was of blue velvet.
