What is knowledge?

(Copyrght. ls2i.)
What is knowledge?
Thomas A. Edison, stimulated
by his ingenious press agent, who
knows the value of publicity, has
raised the question usefully.
He has caused thousand news
papers to talk, and these news
papers have reminded twenty mil
lion readers that we know little.
Some newspapers print replies
70 Edison's questions. Thus some
information, not important, but
better than nothing, is scattered
widely.
!, Edison knows well how unim-
portant his questions are, how lit
tie knowledge Of real value is hid
den in the answers.
Edison himself could not have
answered one quarter of the ques-
tions when he was young, doing
his really important work, in
specting one of his first extensive
electric light systems, in Harry
Hills Dance Hall, Houston street,
New York, where this writer first
saw him.
Where was Napoleon born?"
asks Mr.. Edison. The answer is
"Aiaccio. on the Island Of Cor
sica, in the Mediterranean, off the
coast OF Italy" But to possess that
information is absolutely unim-
portant. A better question would
"What did Napoleon answer
when SYCOPHANrS praised his
courage in taking an army over
the Alps in winterT
Napoleon saidi ~ deserve no
praise, for winter, when SHOWS are
solid and do not slide, is the safest
season for crossing the Alps.
II deserve credit only for not be-
ieving fools that said it couldn't
e done"
Edison also is the kind that re-
fuses to believe fools who say it
can't be done. That's why he sent
several messages over one wire.
Fools had said it couldn't be done.
The vast majority-ninety per
cent at least--of one hundred and
forty-six questions attributed to
Edison in his test of college grad
nate intelligence are unimpor-
tant, have little to do with pro-
ductive use of human intelligence.
From what States do we get
sulphur? What States have the
largest copper mines?"
The answers mean nothing, rs
long as we have the copper and
sulphur.
A French boy would be expected
to. answer, "What department has

But it doesn't matter to other

and serving in various ways for the
city's good. Together with his excel
lent wife, Mr.. and Mrs. Chaffee have
taken large part in the religious and
social work of the city and as member
Of the Methodist church, they have
been tower of strength to that in
stitution. They have a son, Homer,
and a daughter, Helen, who have
grown up here and who have also
been active in the city's social life, all
of them will leave US followed with
the sincere regret of large circle Of
friends who have lived and dwelt with
them for these many years. At the
present time we are not able to di-
vulge what will be done with the bus
mess here but in short time we hope
to be able to give these. facts. In leav-
ing Valley City Mr.. Chaffee feels that
the country out at Everett, a city of
$4,000 people, offers larger opportun-
tiles for service and not only that
but the climate is much milder and
that will give he and his family more
opportunity to enjoy outside pleas
ure the year around. Another very
important reason for this move is the
fact that Mrs. Chaffee's mother,
brothers and sister live in Everett,
which makes it very desirable indeed
for her.. .,.-
It is possible that after he has dis
posed of his business here he will re-
main until after the close of the
school year and the family will then
wend their way to their new home to
again take up the burdens and pleas
ures of life in a new field, but field
of great opportunity and pleasure, as
the city of Everett is beautiful place
and beautiful country surrounding
it. The Times-Record joins with the
host of friends of, the Chaffees in ex--
pressing regret at their going but

It is with genuine regret today that
the editor of the Times Record has
to chronicle the fact that G. C. Chat
fee has purchased business property
at Everett, WASH, and in the very
near future will leave for that city to
take up his residence and open up a
similar business to the one in which
he has been engaged and made such a
great success in the past years. Sew
enteen years ago C. C. Chaffee came
to Valley City and opened up a small
business on Main street in the same
place where the Fair Store now is To-
Gated only in small building instead
of the nice store that now stands on
that location. He was not gifted with
much capital but with lot of common
sense and good business ability. He
used both and treated his patrons
fairly and squarely and by strict at
tention to business and hard work he
built up paying and prosperous bus
mess. He was burned out in that To-
cation and went into the dry goods and
read-to-wear business at his present
location where he has been the past
fifteen years. By the same square ap-
plication to business and his indomit-
able hard work and good business
judgment he has built up, especially
in the past few years, one Of the larg-
est and most thoroughly modern and
equipped stores in the northwest. None
better in the state. He has carried a
wonderful line of goods. At this point
we might add that Mr.. Chaffee has
been one Of the largest advertisers in
the state, and he says he attributes a
large share of his success to this ju-
dicious advertising. He has been a
great success as a business man and
the name of Chaffee is known all over
this state. Not only has he been a
successful business man, but he has
been leader in the doings of the city
in a community way, occupying posi-
tions of trust, such as city alderman

national capital. At $3.50 on this our
last day at Washington, Congressman
and Mrs. Young entertained us at
very nicely served dinner in the din
ing room of the house Of representa-
tives, the other guests at this little
function being Congressman and Mrs.
Champion, Of one of the Michigan dis
tricts, and one of the congressman who
is forging ahead as a prominent leg
islator at .the national capital. Mr..
Champion is a newspaper man and
our host and hostess very thoughtfully
imagined that being such he would
be fine company for us-and he was.
They are mighty fine people and this
dinner party was one abounding in
neighborly conversation and sociabil-
ity. The Champions are old time
Michigan friends of the Youngs. Mr..
and Mrs. Young are delightful enter
tainers doing it unostentatiously, but
thoroughly, simply and graciously,
making their guests feel perfectly
free and easy and all the more enjoy
able because they were good friends
from the old home town. The day was
not done after this fine dinner. Mr..
and Mrs. Young insisted that they
again take us to leading theater and
this time we had the great pleasure
of witnessing the poetic and romantic
opera entitled Monsieur Boucaire"
one of the prettiest operas we have
ever seen. The leading roles in which
there was much solo work was very
finely put on and the costuming of the
large ensemble and the play of the
many colored electric effects, pre-
sented most charming and pleasing
effect, and we confess that it was one
of the finest evening entertainments
we had attended in our sojourn here
among men-we expect to sojourn
with the angels by-and-by. This con-
cluded our visit to Washington and it
was with feeling of deep reluctance
that at late hour we had to say
those words that so. many of US hate
to say "good-bye" to these very kind
friends and neighbors of ours who
had for several days used every effort
and every agency to make our visit
pleasant one while visiting the capital
city of the nation. They certainly full
filled their desires and Mr.. and Mrs.
Trubshaw have nothing but the warm
est praise and memories to those
friends for giving them the greatest
time of their lives. Not only did we
enjoy the entertainment afforded but
the benefit derived at seeing so much
that we had read in history but up to
this time of our visit had had no
chance to see in reality has this trip
left in our memories more than we
can tell. It would be fortunate indeed
could all our people visit this great
city, but they cannot of course, but we
left impressed by its beauty and great

derful in themselves and of great
value to the student in historic things
in geology, in the mineral world and
| in natural history. The mammoth
building is great place to visit. One
Of the most beautiful buildings ir
Washington that we visited with
Mrs. Young and Mrs. Cowen was the
Pan-American Union Building, the
home of the Pan-American republics
in the capital of the United States
The building was erected at cost OF
one million dollars contributed by An
drew Carnegie and the 21 nations
forming the union. On the front are
groups representing North America
and South America and panels repre-
senting Washington's farewell to his
generals and the meeting of the two
great South American iberators, Boil
ivar and San Martin. Two notable
features within the building are the
typical Lati-American patio, with
fountain and tropical foliage, and the
magnificent Hall of the Americas, an
assembly room unsurpassed in this
country and we doubt if there is any
more complete, more magnificent in
its simplicity of architecture and
splendid lines in the world. The sunk
en- gardens are a wonder around this
magnificent structure. We must say
that Washington in the summer time
when flowers and shrubbery are in
full foliage and flower, is a most beau
tiful city. Its wide boulevards, hand
some buildings and homes, together
with the beautiful surroundings GER
tainly make the capital city of the ma
ton a place we'll worth visiting. In
the afternoon of this particular day
the writer and Mrs. Trubshaw put in
the time shopping and visiting around
and taking life easy. We were much
delighted with the beautiful statues
and the surroundings Of prominent
citizens who have passed on, but whose
work for their country is kept to the
fore by these monuments erected to
their memory. There are so many
great institutions here that it would
take too much space and time to tell
of them all. The government printing
