HOW TO SEND A MESSAGE

The exciting life of movie" stars
isn't lightened in the least by their
directors. At least, this is Pauline
Fredericlx's opinion. after receiving a
message from Frank Lloyd. who di-
rected her in '+rhe Loves of Lefty,
her latest Goldwyn picture Shortly
after the picture was finished Mr..
Lloyd was called to the Pacific
Northwest to direct Rex Beach's The
Silver Horde" From Bellinghan,
Wash, he sent thrilling message to
Miss Frederick. He wrote a few words
on a card, inserted 1T in an empty sal
mon can, and then had the can SOLDER
ed. The unusual package was carried
south by a returning member of the
company, and when Miss Frederick
first saw it she was afraid to open it.
The card ratified in the can and made
peculiar noises.
go many people drop bombs in
ones rose bushes or send them
through the mail. Do you think 1t IS
safe2" she questioned.
"No one would send you a bomb,
retaliated William Parke, her present
director. "I'I open it," A can open
er was routed from its lair in the prop
room and the odd message unearthed.

A REVIEW or RHYME

tPauline Frederick IN The Loves OF
I.etty.D
BY Howard Diet1
The loves OF Lefty number three;
is pudgy money-roll,
2 is a knight Of royalty;
And 3, an ordinary soul.
Our heroine is proud. though poor
A struggling working woman, etc.
She feels that she cannot endure
Her hardships and her lodging
debts.
And so she heeds the suit of I.
Repeating that, she jumps to 2.
And when their dual course ia run.
She looks around for something new.
And then her heart is touched by 8,
Who is responsive to the touch.
A lowly cameraman is he,
Whose income doesn't count for
much.
Butts knows how to hold her hand,
And how to gaze into her eyes,
Which / and don't understand.
And that's where 3 outshines these
guys
The Moral of this little tale
(Since Morals always have to be)
Is this: when l and 2 both fail,
Why don't despair-try number 3.

Readinsting Taxation.

Few people will envy the lawmak-
ers tie job of revising the taxation
system. Congress has not got to raise
a sum four times as big as was
necessary SIX years ago, and satisfy
the people. Ones first thought would
| be that "it can't be done"
The popular definition of fair
tax, is tax that some one else
pays. Few people admit that the as
sessments levied on themselves are
right. The business community seems
agreed that the excess profits tax
discourages enterprise and leads pro-
Cucers. to add enough to their prices
so the people pay the tax. Theoret-
Iieally the tax is perfectly just, but
things that are abstractly right do
not always work out in practice.
The tax that discourages business
enterprise the least is the best, The
people do not mind high taxes so
much if the country is prosperous.
Luxuries should be taxed heavily.
Those who are unwilling to live the
simple life should pay for their in
.dulgence.

The Coming of Our Lady, 1921.

The New Year is close at hand.
The cartoonist and picture boys
generally will, represent 1921 as a
baby but we like to forecast it as a
WOMAN-we don't say a "beauti-
full" woman, because all women are
beautiful.
We would like to see '21 typify
WOMANHoOD for good and suffi-
.cient reasons. One is that the COM
ing year would have no interest
whatever in war, or the things of
war. This old world had its complete
fill of deadly conflict during the de-
.cade just closed and if the WOMEN
could have their way there'd never
be another on this footstool of the
lord.
If 1921 were a WOMAN, the
world would see more religion and
more of the good things that come
out of it. The cynics and Bolshevists
and exploiters of mankind generally
may sneer all they like at religion,
but God in the foIm we civilized peo-
pie know Him, or in some other form,
has been a comfort and high in7
spiration to untold billions of peoy
pie in the past and He will be again
to untold billions in the future. The
earth needs great revival of re-
ligion in 1921.
II our New Year is anything like
WOMEN, we viii see more cooper
alton in the real things of life and
much more gentleness and human
sympathy and love in 1921 than for
"a generation. The vice of hate has
encircled the world and inflicted it's
wounds on countless. hearts. Ouly
human sympathy, kindness and love
win heal the deadly hurts that the
human race has suffered.
We repeat; let's typify the New
Year as a WOMAN.

tWAUKON PRIEST ELEVATED,
Message From Pope at Rome Ele-
. Yates Him to Rank of Domestic
Prelate

| On Thursday last, Father Norton
of st. Patrick's church in Waukon,
was the recipient of high honors at
the hands of the Pope when lie re-
ceived message from Rome an
Inouncing to him that it had pleased
His Holiness, the Pope, to elevate
him to the rank of Domestic I'relate
in his household.
Father Norton has been a great
upbuilder in the church and promi-
nent leader in educational matters.
He has been in the priesthood for
almost forty years, twenry-seven of
which have been spent in Ailamakee
county, ten at Webster City and two
years in the vicinity of Storm Lake,
Iowa. He was at Lycurgus for per-
iod of iS years during which time
the beautiful new church was erect
ed there. Nine years ago he came to
ST. Patrick's church in Waukon and
since that time the church and
school have fourished. ST. Patricks
church building is one of the finest
Catholic churches in the state.
Father Norton has been a builder
and the honors bestowed upon him
by the Pope are we'll deserved.
Domestic Prelates are usually ad-
dressed by Catholics as Monsignor,
and in written documents as Right
Reverend. In otien times Monsignor
was title borne by those in civil
ranks. Today this application is no
longer observed in civil life. Solely
Domestic Prelates of the Catholic
church today are addressed with this
title.
The appointment comes from the
Pope alone and carries with it the
obligation on the part of the recip-
lent of wearing prescribed dress.
We are informed that at the same
time this signal honor was also con-
ferred upon Father Haxemeier of

The tea .ier shortage and the fac
that teachers have been leaving ths
profession in large numbers foi
other lines of work will be the basis
of plea by the legislative commit.
tee Of the state teachers association
and others interested in educational
work for legislation which will helI
to restore normal conditions il
school affairs.
Better wages for teachers, ade.
quate equipment for schools, simpli.
fication of the school laws and other
problems will be put up to the legis-
lature.
Governor Harding will devote con-
siderable attention to the matter OF
improving the schools in his is>message
to the legislature. Not long since he
sent out letter to legislatures on
this subject.
In this letter Governor Harding
called attention to the recent state
ment of the National Education As
sociation thru its secretary with re-
ference to public schools and public
school teachers. The association
secretary declares that "more than
100000 teaching positions in the pub
lie schools of the United States are
either vacant or filled by teachers
below standard" and further said
that attendance at normal schools
and teacher-training schools has de-
creased Copper cent in the last three
years.
This report also shows that during
the past year 22 per cent of the
teachers dropped out of the public
school work and that particularly in
the rural districts schools have been
hampered because salaries are low
and conditions unattractive.
As to conditions in Iowa, Governor
Harding says that Iowa has approx
mately 27,000 teachers, one-third of
whom are new each year. One-third
change location each year.
Governor Harding recommends to
the Legislature, the following "addi-
tional helps to remedy the teachers
shortage
Adequate compensation for the
teacher. Adequate compensation for
the county superintendent. Making
teaching profession. That the dis
trict or community interest itself in
the housing of the teacher. Hire the
teacher for twelve months period.
Changing of the law to permit the
hiring of teacher for period long
er than one year,
The governor declares that "at the
present time teachers can not, in
many places, secure comfortable
quarters. This is an outstanding fact
at our mining camps. Consolidated
schools organized entirely in rural
districts have very serious problem
in securing teachers unlcss they
build teachers homes"

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF POW
81 Err. qso H-t
Aiillionaires and Profiteers Have
Been Strongly Entrenched.

Deserved retribution has been mea-
sured out to many mighty ones dur
ing the past few years, in return for
selfish and heartless conduct.
The downfall of the Russian nobil-
ity is an episode from which many
pople in this country have something
to learn. When the Cars authority
fell, it would have been the natural
thing for the aristocracy of that
country to have taken control of the
government. The mass of the peo-
pie were illiterate and untitled for
citizenship. If the aristocracy had
used their position to educate the
mass of the people and prepare them
for self government, they would to-
day be holding their lands and cas-
ties.
But this aristocracy had been so
selfish and cruel, that the masses of
the people drove them off their lands
and out of the country. They had
sealed their own doom by many
years of heartless oppression.
The future position in any nation
of the people who possess great
wealth and social RAsition, depends
on the use they make of it. If they
use their good fortune solely for
their own qualification, they will
arouse ill passions that will react on
their wealth and probably cause their
ruin. But if they use their wealth
generously and do their best to as
sist social advance, they are likely
70 retain their commanding posit-
ion.
The 'millionaires and profiteers are
mo more stongly intrenehed in this
country today than the Russian
mobiles were in their own land but
recently. The revolution has wiped
out this class in Russia, and probab-
ly they viii never come back. 1t
might be 50 here. No danger exists
here of a barbaric revolt after the
Russian manner, but laws and con-
stitutions might be so altered as to
obliterate great fortunes. 1t all de-
pends what use is made of this
wealth.

WILL PUT WOMEN IN OFFICES.
Goy.-Elect Kendall of Iowa Makes
the Announcement.

The Abba Republican, whose edit
or, s. w. Wilson, was one of the N.
E. Kendall's managers, announces
that as governor, Mr.. Kendall will
name women for important offices.
This may allude to membership
on the board of control, board of
parole, etc. The Republican says:
I'm considering appointments
that must be made Goyernor-elect
N. +. Kendall has determined to APP
point women to some of the import
ant offices.
There has been demand from
the women, and some of the men,
to- have the women represented on
some of the state boards for a num-
Der of years and now that they have
the full suffrage Mr.. kendall is con-
fident that such action will meet
with the approval of the majority of
the voters, both men and women.
This conclusion on the part of
the new governor is in line with his
other equitable decisions and opin-
ions. There is no reason that can
be offered why such representation
should not be given to the women,
they are perfectly capable, and in
some instances and in some lines,
they excel, so why not give the state
the benefit of their valuable assist
arce.'

What the American Farmer Wants

What the American Farmer Wants
There is support here and support
there for various other planks--
planks radical and pianks conserva-
tive-but we think that on the whole
the following is what the majority
of farmers AT THIS TIME want
from Congress.
Amendment cr Interpretation of
the antitrust laws which will make
lit legal for the farmer to engage
in collective marketing.
Strengthening of the Federal
Farm Loan System.
Interstate Commerce legislation
making compulsory the honest adj
vertising and labelling of wooden
fabrics, food and drugs.
Development of inland waterways
with ocean outlets.
Enactment of cooperative credits
plans to provide funds for farmers.
National control of packers.
immigration laws which will main
tain American standards of citizen
ship.
Operating of air nitrate plant by
government or lease for purpose of
providing cheaper fertilizer.
The appropriation of funds to per-
NIT Department of Agriculture to
make studies of cost of production
of farm products.
Disapproval of any system which
denies to the individual the right to
