CHAUTAUQUA CIRCLE

A regular meeting of the Pierian Chau-
tauqua Circle was held in the school room,
Sunday afternoon, December 4th, Pres. W..
J. McC., presiding Attendance thirteen,
absent three.
The usual routine of opening meeting;
roll call, reading and approval of minutes
and exchange of library books, etc, was
somewhat delayed owing to the stupidity
of "the custodian of the cabinet keys"
which necessitated trip down the corri-
dor for the missing keys. With apologies
to the Circle and to Deputy Utecht, as
surance is given that such negligence will
not occur again.
Pres. McC., in calling the meeting to
order, gave lucid. extemporaneous ad-
dress covering various subjects, for the
benefit of the Circle as whole, and its
members as individuals. For the ensuing
term as critic Mr.. NJ. l. was appointed
and an expression of thanks given to Mr..
M. G. for his splendid criticisms during
the term just ended. A handsome oil
painting was presented to him, by Mr.. c.
H. S., as an extra token of the Circles
esteem.
Owing to the absence of some members
and the unpreparedness of others, the de-
bate arranged for was postponed and the
three following papers were read before,
and discussed by, the Circle: "The Val
ley of Scenic Beauty" by Mr.. E. A. L.;
"Gold-One way to get it," by Mr.. H.
H. NJ; "What Qualifications are Essential
to the Successful Farmer" by Mr.. P. J. B.
Each of these papers showed careful
preparation and readers of THE MIRROR
will find them interesting and instructive
when they appear.
The critics report being called for Mr..
NJ. l. gave such an ideal summary of the
session that the Presidents wisdom in
making the appointment became instantly
apparent-"we alp didn't know it was in
him.
Announcement that a victrola concert
had been arranged for the Dec. 18th meet
ing was followed by adjournment.

GOVERNOR PREUS ENDORSES SALE
OF CHRISTMAS SEALS

Governor ]. A. o. Preus in letter to
the Minnesota Public Health Association
strongly urges the people to purchase
Christmas Seals. The Governors letter
is as follows:
DR.. William F. Wild, Executive Secy.
Minnesota Public Health Assn,
800 Shubert Building
St. Paul, MINI.
My Dear Mr.. Wild: When we stop to
consider the progress that has been made
in the fight against tuberculosis in the
last few years, we should consider it not
only privilege but an obligation to do
everything within our power to bring this
fight to successful conclusion. In view
of the fact that the death rate in Minneso-
ia from tuberculosis last year was lower
than it has ever been in the history of the
State, cannot too strongly urge the people
to aid the Minnesota Public Health Asso-
citation and the County Public Health As
sociations by purchasing Christmas Seals,
which is the sole means of financing these
organizations.
Permit me to take this opportunity of
congratulating you on your splendid work
in the past in Public Health Education,
and extend to you my best wishes for a
successful sale of the Christmas Seals!
Very truly yours,
J. A. o. PREUs.

AERIAL TRANSPORTATION
Continued from page I


amenities of our life in country home?
Commercially, our outlook should be
wider. 1t is in the big undeveloped lands,
and in long journeys over countries now
regarded as almost inaccessible that the
aircraft will show their supremacy. Pic
ture mail leaving San Francisco, making
Los Angels, New Orleans and Atlanta, by
the Southern route, and arriving in New
York in some 80 or a 100 hours, with the
route lights reflected in the waters of the
Atlantic, and the GODDESS of Liberty re-
garding with untroubled gaze, this defiance
of the ancient laws. Picture again the
group of New York millionaires whose
urgent business in London, or Paris, calls
for sudden flight across the Atlantic.
The huge aeroplane shoots forward with
its human cargo, just before sunrise, to
pick up the Western Irish lights an hour
or two after sunset, awaking the waste of
Atlantic waters with the long-drawn
drone of its triple engines, and sighting
maybe, one or two of its slower rivals
laboriously blowing the sea. This may, or
may not, become reality, but it is just
glimpse of possibility, in the very near
future.
AT any rate, to whom do we owe these
possibilities? In the first instance to men
of the type of Lilienthal, Langley and
the Wright brothers, whose experiments
in theory and practice of flight, gave such
fruitful results, secondly to that band of
German, English and French pioneers
whose performances in the early flying
contests before the war filled us with won
der, thirdly to the host of scientific engi-
neers and designers who have been able
to evolve, not only the marvellous efficient
wing-section of the modern aeroplane, but
also a powerplant of extreme lightness,
without which flying at least in heavier
than-air machines, could scarcely have
passed the experimental stage. But if an
attempt is made to allocate fairly the
praise which is due, to those whose work
will have insured the final success of
aerial transportation, we must not omit
from our regard the airmen of the Ger
man, and the Allied fighting forces. These
men held their lives cheaply in carrying
on a military service, both over land and
sea, and had it not been for them, the
whole theory of flight, the strength of
machine, and the power of engines would
have been unknown. The problem of
aerial navigation has been tested by stan
dards of performance unknown to any
peace condition. To them, the promoters
of commercial aerial transportation we
owe a debt, the magnitude of which, it is
hoped will be duly paid in the near future.

OILS there seedless apple?-H. S.
A-A seedless apple resembling ba-
mana in form has been produced by an
Oregon fruit grower. 1t is said to have
a delicious flavor.
OILS Alaska territory? Can it be-
come state ?-H 0.
A-Alaska, although usually spoken of
as territory, is not one in legal sense.
1t is an administrative and judicial district,
and not fully organized according to the
customary form of territorial government.
Its government is at present of tentative
character and all of its Officials are ap-
pointed by the president. The general
laws of Oregon are administered in Alas
ka. Territories are subject to congressional
control and are usually admitted as states
upon attaining sufficient population. AL
though there is some difference in the
status of Alaska in comparison with other
territories, there is no reason why she can
not become state like the others at any
time that congress may elect to admit her.

Standard Launches Fight

The Standard Oil company OF In

OF gasoline three cents per gallon
and Kerosene also received the same
dose.
Following this the most drastic
cuts In price in the history Of oil II
is announced that the Standard has
reduced the price In Kansas, Mssou-
ri and Oklahoma four cents on gas
olinc and three cents on kerosene.
II Is very evident that the big people
are looking for "A scrap and this time

As Il was pointed out in this col
umn when the freight rates were
advanced TO point which confined
all shipments from refiners in the
midcontinent field to narrow limit
and thus deprived them of all the
long haul business that II meant the
beginning Of tho end for the inde-
pendent refiners.
And now It has developed that
there has been some price cutting
which will he used against the in
dependent operator aud be made n
cause of action" i'm his undoing ana
when the smoke screen has cleared
away It will bo found that the stand
ard has taken into camp and that the

ducts.
The situation could hardly be
worse although in the estimation OF
the oil producers there have been
times, for instance when the Prairie

connections that the situation was
even worse than now
The Independent refiner deprived

bad shape. There is perhaps a rem
