1t pleases us to note that friend G.
B. Miller, former Congressman who
with Jim Tawney and j. Adam Bede
owned the distinction of being re-
sponsible for Minnesota's excellent
standing in Congress and who kept
the state OF the map, is being men,
toned as Governor General of the
PHILIPPINES, with almost assured ap-
pointment by President Harding.
Mr.. Miller spent much time at the
islands several years ago obtaining
data for the government and his re-
port is the most comprehensive
document on the Philippines eve given
out. His knowledge Of conditions
and keen insight fits him for the
position. We will further state that
as secretary of the Republican
National Committee he has further
demonstrated his work. He was a
Congressman who never lost sight of
his friends and his services were
always freely given to help his con-
stituents who now join the balance
of the country in hoping he lands
the honorable position. This appoint
ment would be but a small recogni-
tion for valuable services. A cabinet
position would be just about right.

this interesting region.
F. B. Spelman, who continues to
own interests in the Birch Lake dist
riot, both mineral and water power,
recalls that he was once lost for "a
hours on the Eastern Mesabi. He
was accompanied by a French Can
adam packer, who also acted as guide,
and who lost the old Syndicate trail
in some name and led the Duluth
man far into the muskeag. By use
of the compass they located the
Dunka river at a point where they
could hear the falls, and then they
knew where they were.

w. /. Nolan seems to have the pole
in the race for the speakership of the
house of representatives. Mr.. Nolan
was speaker of the last house and
so satisfactory was his stewardship of
this important position that his re-
election will probably be by accla-
nation and a unanimous vote. w.
/. has always been recognized as a
winner, he having captured the good
will of the people years ago when on
the lecture platform and his later
deeds in the legislature and on the
stump have added to his prestige. We
of northern Minnesota feel that the
legislature has a mar for speaker who
will do what is fair by both ends OF
the state.

Various Species of Asters.

About 100 different species of as
ters are native in the United States
and "a of these are found In north
eastern America. All but a dozen are
purple and blue and even botanists
find it requires patient study to dis
tinguish their many species. The New
England aster is the most striking or
the group. 1t has a stout. hardy stem,
sometimes eight feet high, and large
violet-purple and sometimes pinkish
flowers, and is found in the swamps
In the late summer Great Britain
claims only one native aster. Many
American species are cultivated In
English gardens under the name OF
Michaelmas daisies. The Swiss spe-
cies is the most beautiful purple aster
which is found in such quantities along
the New England highways in the au-
tumn, and which, with goldenrod,
makes a radiant display of purple n
gold.-Indianapolis News.

Isn't it awful just now to watch the
newspapers which espoused the cause
of the defeated candidates spreading
columns and columns of stuff telling
the successful ones what to do to
placate the defeated ones and their
party. The voter at the polls told
what was wanted by an overwhelm-
ing majority and as most of the can
didates had stated their policies, the
curse they are to pursue is clearly
s~ignboarded through to the end of
their political road.

Hawaii Claims Wettest Spot.

Hawaii now claims the wettest spots
on earth. From records covering a
long period. Cherrapunji, village at
an elevation of about $500 feet in the
Khasi hills in India, has established
a rainfall average Of 426 inches year,
with a maximum of 905 inches in the
questionable record for 1861. Short
period observations show that Mount
.Waialeae, the central peak of the
island of Kauai, with height of $3.50
feet, has a yearly average of 476
inches; while estimates for nearby To-
calities for the wet years of 1914 and
1s1o, when no records were kept, make
it appear that the rainfall then must
have exceeded 800 inches. Other parts
of Hawaii are scarcely less damp. Pun
Kukui, 5000 feet high, on the island of
Maui, has had seven-year average of
800 inches, with a maximum of 562
inches in 1914. At least a dozen other
spots, above 1000 feet of elevation, are
reported to have exceeded $50 inches
in each of the years 1914 and 1918.

"Rent Free" Houses.

AT Llewelyn, Pa, there are 60 empty
houses. which for years have stood un.
tenanted, a veritable deserted village
in the beautiful valley Of the West
Branch of Chester creek. Even the
war with its demands, failed to repeO-
pie the town About a month ago some
of the houses were rented and jitney
line was established between the town
and Chester. Still there remained 60
houses that were fast going into decay
by reason of not being occupied. The
owners conceived the idea Of having
the properties fixed up by giving them
rent free to workmen who would repair
them and takeicare of them. The only
stipulatiOns made in selecting tenants
are that they be respectable and thrift
ty people who will take pride In main
tanning and improving the houses and
that they agree to make all repairs at
their own expense.

Writer Brings Forward Arguments to

1t may strike the western reader as
simply funny. bur more than one Chi.

assertion by evidence other than the
way in which Japan has chung through

pie that thousand years ago the Jap

China that China has changed sew

rection of practical utility, of ingeni-

II is doubtless the most extensive in
the world in the variety of material
employed for food, and also the most
varied in its combinations. Academic
analysis may despise arguments drawn
from food clothing, shelter and fur

riety and ingenuity of the processes
and appliances used in daily life and In
the crafts, one is certain that the Chi
