Seizures of town halls, baths and other
buildings in the suburbs of London have
been going on for more than two months.
These seizures were generally attributed
to the acuteness OF the housing shortage
and to unemployment but there has
been no effort TO conceal the fact that
they were prompted by radicals. Several
hundred men seized the town hall In
Edmonton on December l. and the day
before the town hall in Tottenham was
seized. simultaneously a crowd OF men
seized the baths in the suburb OF wal
thamstow, and in Jackney mob clashed
with the police while attempting to

number of unemployed in England at
500, 900, while labor circles placed the

BERLIN, JAN I'm. Schwartz of San
Francisco, Socialist leader, recently
released after four months imprison-
ment in Moscow. when asked to-day to
give his opinion whether the United
States should begin trading with Soviet
Russia replied:
Frankly, l cannot form an opinion on
that subject. II would undoubtedly save
hundreds of thousands of lives to raise
the blockade. but 1t would also
strengthen the Bolsheviki. afford them
greater war supplies and give them an
opportunity to boast that they had
achieved q great victory in their effort
to create a world revolution.

Government as government at all, and

It's true that times are hard when we compare
them to the almost-opulence of the last few
years; it is true that there is overproduction and
underproduction and too much labor and not en-
ough labor and that things seem out of joint more
or less But this old world has wagged along
for several hundreds of thousands of years now
and somehow it seems always to have conducted
itself pretty we'll. Of course the pre5ent gener-
alton has never been asked to run affairs before
and we are all bit inexperienced but there is no
reason for thinking that the ultimate job we shall
do will not be good one. What we need is more
of us showing an anxiety to hit the trail and few
er of us anxious to hit the other fellow for mis-
takes we judge him to have made. 1t is always
safe to be sane-and sanity is just ordinary COM
nonsense literally applied.

HOW HE DID IT.

WHEN I was young man, l tried very
M hard to save money, for knew that l
w should never be success until had
saved So, every month watched the pennies
spent as little as could-and saved the rest.
It wasn't easy; and it didn't amount to much
either There was always something unexpected
coming up to take the money, and "the rest was
disappointingy small. Besides hated to think
about money all the time-yet when didn't think
about it there wasn't any "rest' at all for the
saving bank
One day tried new plan. Just put definite
amount in the bank when I first got my pay
and lived on the rest. From that time on be-
gan to get ahead rapidly the money in the bank
grew regularly and surprisingly-and l didn't
have to think and skimp all month We just spent
what was left.L. F. Loree, President, Delaware

Minnesota still has room for many farms, and
the soil and conditions offered for them is as good
as may be found anywhere for certain kinds OF
farming. Even the newer sections of the northern
part of the state form paradise for the man in
terested in dairying and there is vast field open
to him. Minnesota as whole can look forward
to bright future in it's industries and the great
est of these industries is farming. What the state
needs now as it's need has always been, is more
boosters-more men and women who will cheer
fully spread the propaganda of the opportunities
that abound on every hand in this great common
wealth of ours.

THE BOOK SHELF.

~ VERY home should build for itself book
II. shef-deep enough and long enough and
1 wide enough to hold those precious volumes
which make for themselves place in every home
The be-skimmed- through book we can borrow
from the public library or from trusting friend
who believes us when we say will return it, Or,
if we really feel we must read it in order to take
our place among the real "literators," we can
even steal it without too bad a hurt to our con-
science, feeling that we probably did the owner
more good than harm by getting it out OF his
way. But with the real BOOKS of our real &C
uuaintance we can not proceed in so makeshlft
fashion-when one Of these has proved itself
friend we must make for it place by our fireslde
where it becomes one Of the family-to be relied
on when mere humans treat us coldly, and to grow
mellower and kinder and richer as the years go
by
1t is no simple problem the choice of these books
that are to be our friends Day after day we must
see them on our shelves; must make them the IN
Inmates Of our lives For these tried and true
friends there must be substance, thought ana
style-these qualities must we find before book
is placed upon the Shelf just within reach OF our
easiest chair, to be read and re-read to be unused
over and loved. Wasn't it simple, gentle Charles
Lamb who said "What sense of security in an
old book that time has criticized for us. I'VE
believe simple, gentle Charles was right and we
who have this sense of security about some ten

It is rumored that there is again-as there was
upon at least one former occasion inclination
among the oncoming graduating class, to adopt
the collegiate cap and gown commencement
garb. We are also informed, by reliable author
ity, that there are high schools in Minnesota
which have adopted this garb for the annual COM
mencement dress and that this is done in COM
munities that rather pride themselves upon their
culture and knowledge. It hardly seems possible
that thinking people should adopt such practice
without realizing it's eternal unfitness and the
weak affectation and imitation of college life
which is so entirely untitled to the high school or
any of the other of the secondary educational in
situations. The cap and gown were originally in
changed, we believes insignia indicating
that it's wearer is entitled to scholarship degree
and such degrees are not yet meted out to our
worthy high school seniors. It would be quite as
fitting for a nurse who has had no training to
wear the white cap which signifies professional
training in her profession, for a layman who
teaches Sunday school class to adopt the bishops
collar Of the clergy-indeed why shall we not,
since the wearing of insignia is SO much-wanted a
thing. permit the members of the Bloody Ten" to
borrow the plumed hats of the Knights Templar?
The high school has its privileges and its own
attributes the students be too loyal to these
to steal any unearned perquisites from other IN
stitutions.

MAIN STREET.

"A ST Louis paragrapher notes, with something
akin to sarcasm that Minnesota papers are max
ing no comment on Main Street.-The novel OF
Sinclair Lewis which is written about Gopher
Prairie, Minnesota town of about three thou
sand persons. It has seemed to us, after read
ing Of the first half of Main Street 1--WE couldn't
persuade ourselves to spend more time on it than
that) that the Minnesota papers are quite Justified
in ignoring this story which has nothing of truth
or Justice to commend it to the citizens whom it
is supposed to portray. Aside from few apt
phrases and descriptions there is nothing about
the book to hold thoughtful attention and the best
thing about it are the things it doesn't prove. The
Outlook of January 5 makes the following COM
ment and criticism which seem to us to more COM
pletely sum up the shortcomings of Main Street
than any of the many book reviews and press pub
locations which we have read.
Gopher Prairie is untypical in human SYM
pathy, in generous instincts, in kindness Of
heart. It's people are not merely heavy in
mind ludicrously dead to art and literature
and world movements they are selfish,
grasping, SANDER loving, ignoble. Mr.. White
himself has given us close studies of the Mid
die West small town in his two major novels;
so has iona Gale; so for New England COM
munities have Alice Brown, Joseph Lincoln,
and others. But mark the difference! In
those stories the picture has light as we'll
dark; evil and ignorance are faithfully rem
dered, but there are also inspiration, forti-
tude, and sacrifice. In Gopher Prairie there
is no one to admire; the nearest to it is DR..
Kennicott, husband of the would-be reformer,
Carol; and he is a stolid doctor working hard
to get money easily tempted into intrigue
without love, coarse in feeling as we'll as in
taste.
"Carol herself is shallow sort Of reform
er; her mind is worried more because the
townspeople have ugly houses than because
they have ugly souls; she cannot forgive them
for not reading Shaw, for not knowing who
Kreisler is, or for not talking about Russian
dancers. She means to ''uplift' the town, but
it boots her aestheticism; she slowly yields to
the inevitable; she becomes captive to the
town, not it's liberator.
"This is the strongest criticism to be made
on main Street." Opinions may differ as
to the effectiveness of Mr.. Lewiss excessive
realism, which describes almost every store in
town down to the knot-hole and the condition
of the paint on every shelf Some readers
balk at this; others find it fascinating. At all
events the book is alive, and it's actuaty is
vital even if painful One is willing to go
further than this, and admit that the story
may be of value, but only half-complete
photograph showing the wrong side and
hiding the right side Of the truly typical AM
erican small town of the Middle West"
P. S. Don't make place on your book shell
for Main STREET. isn't worth it.

GET MAD.

By Strickland Gillian.
If the world don't do exactly you think it ought
to do,
Get mad;
If you meet with opposition, go and get rag 10
Get as mad as hops, and show it;
Feed your anger-fan it, blow it;
Pout and letthe whole world know it
Get mad.
If YOU step upon banana-peel and stand upon
your skull,
Get mad;
Never smile and make joke OF it, or folks Will
think you dull;
Turn and say things to the spot
Where the pavement quickly shot
Up and gave you such swat
Get mad
If YOU want to be comfort to the world we're
living in,
Get mad;
If you want to keep folks faces lighted always
with grin,
Get mad.
For there's nothing else so funny
In this whole wide world, my honey,
AS the man that's never sunny;
Get mad.

It is a self evident fact that when we are in
the right we can afford to keep our temper-and
when we are in the wrong we can't afford to lose
it. The only trouble about this philosophy is that
it only occurs to us when we in full possession
Of said temper with nothing bothering us-and
then we don't need its restraining hand.
