GAINESVILLE Feels Safe.-JaneSville
Argus: Robert Bartelmehs, chief of
our local fire company, and Herman
KurZbein, one of the members, were
in Mankato Saturday last and while
there consulted the fire department
chief Of that city. It was found that
the fire apparatus of that town Is
similar to the one here so far as hose
and connections are concerned and
that no changes would be necessary
to unity the purposes of the two or
carnations in accordance with plans
of the state department. Mr.. Bartel-
mehs was assured that in case the
necessity occurred, the department at
Mankato would instantly respond and
render such assistance as might be
necessary under possible exegencies
that are liable to occur at any \me.
This settles the matter. Waseca to
the east and MankaS to the west
ought to serve as ample helps to our
already efficient home organization.

THE MORAL INFLUENCE
OF KINDERGARTEN TRAINING

Recently Judge Alfred J. Talley of
New York expressed the opinion that
corporal punishment at home and in
school would keep many young men
out of prison.
No form of punishment can of itself
develop the moral nature. Wrong
feeling and action must be checked;
but. instead of developing right mo-
tives, punishment merely stops action.
If all of the young men who are in our
prisons could have received the early
training in truthfulness, honesty, patri-
otism, and right habits of thought and
conduct which the kindergarten pro-
vides, they would now be happy, use
full members of society.
If no kindergarten has been provid-
ed for the children of your community,
you will be doing them great service
by working to secure one. The Ma
ton kindergarten Association, s West
10th Street, New York City, will fur
nish information and advise upon re-
quest.

A rough little pony in a coster's cart
stood near a mansion in Piccadilly
on a chilly morning. A pile of logs for
firewood was being unloaded and the
pony was enjoying the warmth of a
somewhat unusual loin-cloth flung over
his back. 1t consisted of a handsome
edging of fur attached to a musquash
coat, which was seen to belong to a
woman who was shifting the wood.
who was coatless while she worked.
So the little rough pony was sharing
what was known year ago as "mu-
milton veralls"-because these hand
some fur coats were the sign and
signature of the girl munition work
ers, whose sudden enormously in
creased incomes enabled them to real.
ize the ambitions of their life-a fur
coat as good as you please. And very
handsome they were, and very well
they became the Owners-and very
contented the pony looked.

New Vegetable Ivory.

A recent number Of the French bull
letin of the colonial Office gives a de-
scription of a new form of vegetable
ivory, which can be used in European
industry in place of the coroso. This
new substance is produced by the ker-
mel of an edible fruit growing upon a
palm of the upper Senegal-Niger ter
ritOry, the Borassus ethiapicum. The
kernel is seven or eight centimeters
long and five centimeters broad, thus
permitting the cutting of balls or
plates of considerable size to be used
in marquetry, or the making of dOmi-
noes; piano keys, buttons, ETC. The ker-
mel becomes extremely hard when
thoroughly dried. AS a proof of this it
is stated that it is at the present mo-
ment being used as building stones for
making of the houses of native chiefs,
while it is expected that the future
cathedral at Dakar will have tinted
pillars constructed of these same ker.

serblans Adopt EnaIIsh Words.

From an Oxonian in Belgrade, writ
ing to the London Spectator, we hear
of the excursions of English words into
Serbia. Some of them are slightly
Serbifed, but easily recognized. For
example, "aeroplan," budget" "klub," /"
uniting" shtraik," "drednot." Trans
port" has made its way unamended.
Submarine" has come in from the
French in the form of "sumaren." i"
Tanks are "tankOvi." No interpreta-
tion is necessary of the Serbian form
of a world word, "fordovi." 'What
region on the earth is not full of your
labor" These are war words, but
"djentlemanski" entered Belgrade be-
fore the war. So, as communications
between peoples increase, alien words
of many languages in many languages
are naturalized.-New York Times.

The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
KNEW YORK
j: !: ): j: !: J. J. ). J. ].
ASRaSS%M ! of New
w Atsss;y zA eighty five
WSL/ years before
ssss Henry Hud-
sons voyage in his little boat,
the Half Moon, up the river
which now bears his name. For
at that early date an Italian
navigator, Verrazano, exploring
for France, sailed into New
J York bay. This first visit to
New York made little stir and
was soon forgotten, and it was
Hudson's rediscovery which
tempted the Dutch to send over
cOlOniStS and obtain for the
Dutch West India company a
monopoly of the Dutch fur trade
in America. The new colony
which was started in 1923 called
it's territory New Netherlands,
after it's mother country, and
their principal city New Amster-
dam. 1t is interesting to reflect
that Manhattan island, which is
now New York city, was pur-
chased from the Indians for S24
worth of beads and ribbons.
Even in its earliest days the set
tlement on Manhattan Island
was cosmopolitan. In 1643 it is
reported that eighteen different
languages were spoken there.
In 1864 the English captured
New Netherlands, and King
! Charles II presented the colony
to his brother, the duke Of York,
who was later King James II,
and it's name was then changed
to New York.
New York played a leading
part in the formation of the
United States. 1t was Alexan-
der Hamilton who was New
York's representative in framing
the Constitution and it was New
York city which was selected as
the first capital of the new
Union, where Washington was
inaugurated the first president.
Ever since the Empire state, as
New York is sometimes called,
has held the deciding voice in
! presidential elections. Though
it's size is only 49,204 square
miles, not quite half way in the
list of states according to area,
its great population gives New
York forty-five presidential cleo
tors, the largest number of any
of the states.

NEW CRIMINAL APPEARING;
 MORE BOLD THAN THE OLD
PITTSBURGH, June 2o-A new

PITTSBURGH, June 20-A new and distinct type of criminal is supplanting the old class of out laws, detectives and criminologists representing $50 agencies, were told here recently when plans were per fected to form the International Secret Service Association.
 This new class, while far more bold and daring. lacks the ingenuity of the old-time criminal, it is said. Where criminals in the past indulged in counterfeiting, forgery and sure thing games that required patience to execute, the newer and younger generation, ranging in age from IT to 24, specialize in bank and mail robberies, train holdups. payroll thefts and other daring crimes.
 
 With the object in view of com batting these criminals the associa- tion, tentatively formed at Chicago last March, was organized formally here. The organization includes nearly every detective agency of importance in the United Sta.es and will maintain offices in foreign countries. A clearing house will be established at Philadelphia through which members may obtain laforma- tion gathered by individual effort and with the cooperation of state and municipal authorities.
