It has come at last. DR.. Parsegan
of New York has perfected device
by which he can sew hair upon shiny
pates and eastern papers say it is a
success. The doctor uses an electric
needle and female hair-the latter be-
cause it is of finer texture than that
of the he human being. A fortune is,
of course, in store for the inventor of
the device, but we could never under
stand why people object to being
baldheaded. They save both time and
money by possessing hairless dome
time in combing tangled locks and
money that would go to the barber
For our part we have often prayed
that our nut were as bald as a billiard
ball, but the Lord invariably failed to
answer our prayers.

1t is encouraging to note that May,
always month of strikes, lockouts
and industrial discord, is this year un-
usually peaceful compared with the
past. Factory wheels are turning in
big plants in every part of the coun-
try faster than in any May for many
years. Slightly more 'than 100000
men are idle through strikes and lock-
outs, according to conservative esti-
mates, which includes in the total
marine workers, printers and paper
makers. In other years May has
usually found from 100000 to 400 900
men and women idle through strikes.

So J. W. Bragdon, the Minneapolis
clubman, who gained notoricty about
five years ago, when he was tried and
convicted on charges involving his as
sociatioh with young girls, has been
paroled from the state penitentiary.
In consequence of strenuous opposi-
ton by women's clubs repeated efforts
by Bragdon's friends to secure for
him a pardon proved of no avail. He
had served about four years and, with
the usual ''good-timc" allowance,
would have been entitled to an abso-
lutte release in June, 1922. However,
the parole board turned him loose up
on the ground that he had served
longer than the average prisoner con-
victed Of a like offense. The law
should require at least rs years i'm
prisonment for a crime such as that
committed by Bragdon.

1t has been decided by the allied
high commissioners that Constanti-
,nople, the Bosphorus and Dardenelles
be proclaimed neutral while the war
fare between Greece and Turkey is
in progress. AS consequence Greece
will no longer be able to use Constan-
tinople as base, which is of momcn-
tous Importance. One disposition of
Constantinople would be to place it
under the mandate of Christian pow
er which would do away with the SER
aglios and other bcastly institutions
maintained by the Turks. Following
the war tentative agreement was
entered into between the allies to
GUST the Turks from Constantinople,
but, for some reason or other, nothing
came of it. To drive the Mussalmans
into Asia, where they actually belong,
would, in our mind, be the best solution
of the question. It is an outrage on
civilization to permit these polyga-
nous Asiatic beasts to occupy this
most picturesque of all European
cities.

1t has been proposed that Texas be
divided into five states. There is no
question as to the sufficiency of ter

such division without having at least

cactus plains or pampas prairies with
a population of about dozen persons

During 1920 newspaper advertising
increased from $150,0OO,OOO to over
$200,000,000, an advance of $5O,oOO,-
900 or over SO per cent more than in
the previous year. These figures are
given out by the bureau of advertising
of the American Newspaper Publish
ers' association, and are undoubtedly
authentic. They are significant of the
trend of the times. More and more
newspaper advertising is being rccog-
nized as the best medium of determin-
able results and sure economy to which
the advertiser can turn when he wishes
to place his product squarely before

Just Celebrating a Bit.
The Brown County Journal points
out that Sam Gompers let himself in
fora lot of trouble when the old chap
married at past 70. Not the usual
trouble, however; but trouble from the
labor unions, of which Mr.. Gompers
has been chief for so long. They say
he forget himself, stopped at a wide
open hotel, that himself and wife were
served by non-union walters and fed
by cooks who did not put the label on
the beefsteak and onions! Editor
Liesch says that the boys ought not
be too hard on the old man, because
almost anyone will go forget himself

Don't forget This.
Don't forget the fact that this coun-
try is not out of danger from radical
ism. Ever bear in mind that there are
those within our borders who are
openly advocating revolution. There
are many radical reds in the United
States today who are secretly and
sneaklngly plotting and planning death
and destruction. They would overturn
our form of government and replace it
with that of the soviet of Russia.
These are not idle words. It is the
truth we are telling you, believe it or
not as you will. Every American
should be alert. To imagine that we
are secure from the bomb and the
torch of the revolutionists is but to
dwell in a, FOOLS Winnie
bago Enterprise.

FORGET THE
WRESTLERS!
BY NORMAN E. BROWN


There Is one branch of sport this
country can do without.
It Is wrestling.
1t Is the one sport that. apparently.
cannot be put on the level.
The latest effort TO place the mat
game on decent plane-to purge 1t
of the crookedness and framing"
that has killed 1t a dozen times-has
failed Intserably. The attempt was
made in New York. Same old story.
The men whose financial interests
were at stake and the men who stood
to win really desired fame in the
game IL it could be conducted proper
~, were easy victims of the shrewd
brooks. The public paid its good
money in an earnest desire to help re-
establish the sport and got stung
The sooner the American press and
public forget that wrestling-as prac-
ticed In the modern days-ever exist
ed the better off sportdom in general
and the public in particular will be.
The one or two men connected with
the game who may be straight owe it
to themselves to get QUITO leave the
jailbirds, gamblers, common and
four flushers who always have been
in the game for one thing alone-to
grab the coin.
Enough of this -rassling.-
