touted as the coming Industrial cen
ter of the northwest. which same
lots they afterward learned could be
duplicated for $50 each, was the. way
several business men of this city got
rid of some of their spare change.
AS the story is told. well dressed
and affable stranger dropped into
Anita some moons ago and gained
the ear OF several OF the leading busi-s
ness men,. He depicted the wonder
full possibilities Of International Falls,
Mimi. OF the almost unlimited water
power in the river there and of the
probability Of the town becoming the
manufacturing metropolis Of the
great northwest. 1t sounded good and
when he said that lots in this bound
to be- the greatest town on earth"
could be had for the modest figure
OF $3.50. he found his hearers reach
ing for their check books. Fifty doll
lars down and a note for the remain
der made the proposlt,on seem doubly
alluring.
He OF the smooth tongue and affa-
BILE ways succeeded III cisposlng OF
eight lots to about as many men. He
pocketed the $50 each, ecashed the
notes and lett. Later one OF the men
wrote to an attorney in international
Falls, making INJURY as to the prob
able value, OF the lots. He received
q letter offering him all the lots he
wanted at $50 each. as good lots as
the Anita man had bought from the
stranger, said the letter.

was badly cut and bruised, but con-

Thursday evening at the home of
the groom's uncle and aunt, Mr.. and
Mrs. J: G. Reidesel, was celebrated
the marriage of Phillip Orchard, son

LIGHTER. Mr.. and Mrs. Orchard,
parents of the groom, and Mrs. Lich-

at the wedding. The couple left next
day for Council Bluffs.
Mrs. Grace Molsbee, of Marine, who
is now visiting Glidden friends, tells
the following about the recent at
tempt to rob her fathers bank at that
place. He had recently warned all
the banks patrons who had liberty
bonds in their safety deposit boxes
to place them in the banks money
chest for security, and to get the
benefit of the burglar insurance. AS
far as known this advice was followed
which was fortunate. as the burglars
broke open nearly every one of the
boxes and scattered their contents
over the floor, in their search for
bonds.

NO OLD MAIDS IN BABYLON
Ancient City Had System Which AS
sured the Marriage Of All
the Females.

The first known auctions of the
world were held in Babylon many
centuries before Christ. The articles
auctioned consisted of all the virgins
in the city, and the sale was held once
a year. On the day selected the girls
were brought to the market place ana
there ordered to remove their gar
ments. All the young men of the city
were also gathered and the maidens,
one by one, were led to block where
the youth of the city could inspect
them. The beautiful girls were sold
first and every effort made to get as
much as possible for their charms.
The young men Of those days were
as eager to win the fairest maid pos
sible by bidding as men Of a later age
were to win them by brave deeds or
pleadings. As a result fortunes were
In the hands Of the auctiOneer by the
time the homely girls were reached.
This fortune was then divided up and
the auctiOneering took new life. Inc
homeliest girl was given the largest
part of the money collected from
beauty and many a poor man found
himself with a very homely wife but
a comfortable start in business. The
system at least did away with old
maids and bachelors and insured a
steady growth Of population and few
dependents on the state.

the Progressive party in that
year, affirmed that the Republi-
can party had come to "a shame
full end" and the election re-
turns seemed to sustain his state
ment. Mr.. Taft, the Republican
nominee, carried only the States
of Utah and Vermont; the Pro-
gressive vote vastly exceeded
that of the Republicans. But
we all know that the Republican
party did not die. The Demo-
Gratis came into office; an opposi-
ton party was necessary. The
Republican party lived and the
Progressive party died.
The Democrats have in 1920
met a defeat far less sweeping
than that which came to the
Republicans in 1912. And the
Democratic party goes into OPP
position united. 1t will begin to
gather strength from the day
the Republicans take Office.
Whether it will be able to carry
the country at the Congressional
election of 1922, or will have to
wait until 1924, or later still. no
one can say, but any man with
any experience should know that
the Democratic party has met
nothing but a defeat.
In our judgment the Demo-
cratic party is in only one dan
ger, although that may prove
serious. The new President is
presumably a Conservative with

Abolish Emblem Voting"

During the last session of the
Legislature, Mr.. W. A. Perry, of
Louisville. offered a bill in the
State Senate providing for the
abolition of party emblems upon
official ballots in the State of
Kentucky, the result aimed at
being that all voters would have
to be intelligent enough to find
the names of the persons they
wished to support. and could not
escape all responsibility for Sc
lection by voting a straight tick
ct by simply placing a stencil
mark under a. party emblem.

When Diners Ate Their Plates.

The word fritter, which with cooler
weather will become popular once
more. originates from an old French
word meaning to fry, which comes
from the Latin past participle OF the
verb frigere, frictus.
Similarly, fricassee takes its name
from the same Latin verb or from the
French "fracasser," meaning TO break
into pieces, or, as some experts be-
Iieye. from the Latin "fricare," to rub.
ANY meat fried in pan is fricasseed.
according TO French culinary detini-
tiOn.
Another word of French and Latin
birth is tart. Tart is a culinary cor
ruption of the word ''tOurte" (French).
derived from "tartine," a slice Of
bread. This comes from the Latin
"toraueo." to twist, hence the word
"torta" means twist or roll of bread.
In the middle ages there was de
ficiency in plates. and so, for a sub
stitute. an undercrust Of bread served
as a plate. For a long time in France
this undercrust of the "tOurte," or
"tarte." was the most common of
plates. After everything had been
served diners ate even their pilates. "
In time these dinner plates, made
of dinner rolls. came TO he prepared
specially and developed into a cake
like batter, which was filled with dain-
ty food. A1d so they. were called tarts
and tartIettes. and were served as a
distinct dish.-Gas Logic.

Mr.. Peary's bill was rejected
by the Republican majority in
the Senate, but we are convinc-
ed Kentucky will hear more of
this plan in the future. In the
meantime it may be said that the
tendency to get away from "em-
blem voting" is nation wide.
State after State is providing for
exactly the things the Perry bill
would have provided in Ken
lucky, and. as an incident of the
movement, States are getting
the short ballot much more quick
ly than might otherwise have
been the case.
In Kentucky our official ballots
are much too long. In State
elections we call upon the people
to elect a large body of subordi-
nate State officers, who should
be appointed by the Governor.
And it would be much better if
in the matter of county officers,
the people were only called upon
to elect the County Judge and
Sheriff. and leave to the County
Judge the authority to name the
County Attorney, County Clerk,
and County Jailer.

concentrations to the voters at
the primary. But, even after
conventions and primaries are
held, it is obvious that not one
voter in ten will know anything
about one-half of the men he
will be asked to support on either
party ticket. Louisville sorely
needs shorter ballot in her 10
cal politics, and both Louisville
and Kentucky stand to gain by
the disappearance of emblem
voting. There is nothing I'M
reasonable in a law that requires
voters to be able to find the
names of the men they wish to
vote for.-LouisviIle Post.

a big c. It seems strongly prob
able that the policies of the Re-
publican party will be so conser-
vative as to approach the line of
Toryism. The radicals will, of
course, be busy, and will try
hard to stampede the Democrat
ic party into the camp of radical
ism as took place in 1896. This
happening the Democratic party
must avoid if they hope to win
the country again in the near fu-
