Jensen Is Confident.
John E. Jensen, chairman of the
Carss committee, is enthusiastic over
the reports he is receiving from every
portion of the district. There are
indeetavery few spots in this district"
he said, lin which Mr.. Carss is not
strong. The men and women voters
in the country seem to have first

ord Of our congressman
Mr.. Carss has been on the Mesaba
range for the past week. He spoke
at Hibbing Monday evening and at
Virginia Tuesday evening to large and
enthusiastic audiences. He will con-
cude his campaign on the range this
week and expects to devote the last
weeNsto work in Duluth.
. A big meeting of railroad employees
is planned for one day next week.
There will be speakers here repre-
sert.ng Is railroad labor organiza-
tions and they viii put in some good
licks for the labor congressman.
No Party Politics.
The fact that Mr.. Carss is running
for Congress as Democrat in dis
trict that is normally Republican or
dinariy would cause his friends some
concern. After all party politics are
not cutting very much of figure in
this election. People everywhere are
expressing a determination to vote for
the man. They know that few ques-
tions come before Congress to divide
the members on political lines. When
other matters OF national character
are being considered, such as those
affecting the social and economic we'll
being of the people, members of Con-
gress vote irrespective of"their party
affiliations. The Republican and
Democratic standpatters line up to-
gether against the Republican and
Democratic progEessives For this
reason they should return Mr.. Carss
to Congress. He can be depended
upon at all times to vote on the side
of the people.
Honest business men can unite with
honest labor and with other patriotic
voters, men and women, to help save
the nation from the plunderbund thai
is now robbing the people by extort
ing from these huge sums in excessive
profits. Mr.. Carss stands as the fore
. most champion of all the people IL
this section of the nation. His cleo
ton will give cheer to the. forces o.

 Thursday being April Fool day, we all had some pretty good jokes on each other. One had to be quite cau- tious in accepting gum and candy, as all the freshmen boys were quite gen" erous in the distribution of red pep per, etc. Miss Keever called a few of us to the telephone on "foney calls" and even told the most angelic of us to stay after school.

 There has been much sickness among the pupils and consequently much absence from school. After tkree days absence a pupil is dropped from the register until his return when he is re-enrol1ed.
 The expression dropped from the register" recalls a true story of a little girl who reported at home that her teacher said that any child who was absent three days would be dropped into the furnace" The sur prised mother found upon inquiry that what the teacher really had said was that in a such case the child in question would be dropped from the register" There's a moral to this little story, too Children often inter pret remarks very Queerly, and the wise parent always waits and investi- gates before becoming offended at some supposed remark teacher" has made, because the child necessarily interprets wholly in the light of his limited experience, just Gs older peo- pie often do.
