DROWNED

Arthur Hanson, 20 years old, was
drowned in the river near the North
western bridge Sunday afternoon while
in swimming with several other boys.
The fatal event happened at O'Clock
and although the Hanson lad was taken
from the river within five minutes after
going down and DIR. Max Staehle had
the pulmotor on the scene within fif-
teen minutes, efforts to resusticate the
young man proved futile. At the point
where the accident happened the water
is less than five feet deep
An old scow was being used by boys
as a raft and Hanson made dive from
it. When he came up his companions
noticed what they thought an effort to
call for help but because of the shall
lowness of the water at the spot
thought that he was joking. When Han
son disappeared again, however, and
failed to reappear they dived for him,
brought his body to the shore where re-
Suscitation methods were promptly en-
.ployed. While a number of the boys
were doing this one of them rushed to
the nearest phone and called the police
to bring the pulmotor and within a
short time DR., Staehle with the pull
motor and the police were on the
scene, but their efforts were all in vain.
The deceased was a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edgar Hansen, S52 North Four
teenth street and was one of family
of fifteen. He is the third member of
the family to die two sisters having
died five years ago from diphtheria. He
attended the public schools here and
since leaving school has been employed

of considerable diplomacy. Henry is

"Ihere are only three factors in the
production of wealth and wealth-pro-
ducing power of the people in any ma
tion, state or community" says Phil
ander ClaXton, former United States
Commissioner of Education. These
are natural resources Of the country,
the native ability of the people, and
education The first two factors are
practically Interchangeable Natural re-
sources can not be increased except as
the intelligence and skill of the people
may help them to lay hold of the nat
ural resources of other countries or
sections than that in which they live.
Native ability of people can be changed
only very slowly. The only changcable
factor is that Of education. The one
fundamental thing which we can do to
increase wealth and wealth-prOducing
power is to increase the quantity Of
education and change rs quality so as
to make It take hold more closely on
the life the people live and the work
they do. We may do many secondary
things for the increase of wealth We
may build roads, develop water power,
establish industrial plants and invent
Iabor-saying machinery, provided We
have the knowledge and the skill. But
these secondary agencies depend upon
the primary agency Of education,
