BOOESELLING

~ NE of the best known and most
~ successful retail sellers of books
i'm this country went on record recent
ly. in a speech made before the Wom-
ems National Bookselling association,
as believing that an era of great eX-
pansion for the small boOkshOp Is at
hand. and he added that he thought
women were particularly suited to
take large part in this expansion.
"I think that many women who have
worked as librarians would make first
class booksellers, and / think that
good business woman could not do
better than put her money into
small book shop in any Of the thou
sands of towns throughout America
where there is no such shop at pres
ent." He added that there was al
ways a better chance of succeeding
with q bookstore in town that had
n public library, than in one where
there was no such institution.
Yet II is possible for a clever woman
to so arrange things that her little
store will become an attraction even
in a neighbOrhOod that has not yet
acquired a taste for reading. Special
programs and lectures could be ar
ranged for in the shop; there should
be a carefully thought out plan by
which to attract the children; there
might be poster displays that would
strike the popular fancy. The thing
to do is to get people to come to the
store in the first place, by any means
that will seem effective. The actual
buying of books would come later, but
it would come.
LET the women get I'm now" said
the speaker, "for we are at the begin
ming of an important and interesting
expansion of retail bOOkselling. The
more bookstores there are, the better
each will do, for book buying Is a
progressive disease. Once you catch
it. you can ,never shake 1t off. The
field is tremendous, and there isn't a
more interesting profession In the
world"
The line forms at the right-dont
crowd, please.

EVERYDAY FOODS.

A NICE way to cook pork chops
N for busy day is TO place them
over a pan of thinly sliced potatoes,
seasoning well with salt and pepper,
bake until the chops are well done,
and serve from the baking dish. The
moisture in the potatoes and the fat
I'm the pork will be sufficient to make
the dish of the right consistency.
Even small family may enjoy q
dish of sauerkraut by covering a
quart Of kraut with a slice of nice
pork stesk; usually there is very lit
lie salt needed; bake until the steak
and kraut are well cooked. Long, slow
cooking of at least three hours makes
a fine well seasoned dish. Another
way Of cooking kraut is to roll a nice
spare rib around 1t and bake long and
slowly, adding salt II needed, and
pepper to taste.

BACK ON THE JOB.

THIS is the time Of the bust-up,
i This is the end of the trail;
Though your icin you do,
Still the ground will come through
An your icin' an cussin' will fail.
The caves are a-drippin' at midnight
An out of the south comes a sob;
You kin talk about loss
All you like, Mister Boss,
But Spring has got back on the Job.
You kin rave all you like Of the timber
Thet lays In the woods at the stump,
You kin swear you will haul
Ev'ry stick of it all
To the road an the bank AN the
dump,
But she's got all creation ag'ln you.
The sun an the wind an all that.
An she'll bust ev'ry road
An she'll stand ev'ry load
An your timber will stay where
it's at.
You ought to know somethin' Of
IOu VIC SCCD DCi DOlh SAhSiS oh WV .
You know you can't stir
Any notion In her
When once ii gifts into her head.
But, of all of the contrary women,
Miss Spring is the worst of the lot (;
When you want her to freeze
She will thaw, if you please,
An she'll freeze when you're wantin'
1t hot.
No use to dispute with heifer
Err argue case with skirt;
If Spring wants TO thaw,
Neither reason ner law
Will keep her from dom you dirt.
It's will er it's won't with woman
She says when she won't er she will.
You kin talk till you're black
In the face, but the shack
Win be bossed by the petticOats still.
We think we're her lord an her
master,
She swears she will love an obey,
We think we're the head
OF the house, as she said
We would be when we bore her
away.
But a month or so after the weddin',
When honeymoon season Is flown.
She quits sayin' dear"
An she gifts on her ear
An she kicks US plumb OF Of the
throne.
It's likewise up here in the timber;
We think we are runnin' the thing
We're falling the trees
An we're maxim II freeze
But all of a sudden it's Spring.
Then It's mix up walk fer the
swampers
An can the whole macklnaw mob
No use fer the boss
Err the crew er the boss
Miss Spring has got back on the Job,

The Story Of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE

aaT@S MI N N n

HsSz5- ESNTHM formed part
NEkA-A>lMM ly from a por-
lIzts,..lr}22lXlH{Sl ton Of the
WsSSN.s- 1kNM Northwes est
Wy&kkAvW territory and
I8se.e partly by the
Northeast section of the Loulsi-
ana Purchase. II was the Mis-
sissippi river which was the d.
vidlng line between these two
large territories.
The Eastern section was coded
by France to Great Britain in
1863 and became part Of the
United States at the end Of the
Revolution by the Treaty of Par
is In 1888. The Northwest ter
ritory was organized by con-
gress four years later. Then, as
this great federal domain be-
came settled and was gradually
divided into states, the Eastern
part of the present State Of Min
nesota belonged In turn to the
Territories OF Indiana, Michigan
and Wisconsin.
AS to the western portion of
the state, this was q part of
the Louisiana Purchase, which
was bought from France by the
United States in 1903. AS this
region became subdlvided, West
ern Minnesota formed a part
of the Territories of Louisiana,
Missouri and Iowa.
The first white man TO pene-
trate to Minnesota was the
French explorer, Duluth, who In
1878 built q fort on Lake Super
Tor and there established a very
extensive fur trade. Two years
later, Father Hennepin and two
companions were sent by La
Sale to explore the Upper Mis-
sissippi and reached the Falls of
st. Anthony, where Minneapolis
now stands. Bu' it was not I'M
I'll the Nineteenth century that
permanent settlements were
made. In 1922 the first mill was
built at the Falls OF ST. Anthony,
where were destined 10 arise
such important successors. In
1871, Father Galtler built
chapel dedicated to st. Paul, and
this was the foundation of the
present great city of that name.
AS TO the name Minnesota.
the state was so called from the
river that runs through 1t, which
in the Dakota Indian language
makes the words "AIinne,"
meaning water" and "Sotah."
meaning "Sky-colored." Some
times the state is called the
North Star State" from the
motto on its coat-Of-arms.
Minnesota was admitted to the
Union In 1858. Its area Is ST.
GS2 square miles and il is the
most important of our wheat
producing states. 1t has twelve
presidential electors.

SLASH AGAIN

Short skirts for women have been
vindicated.
Hurrah. Cut off another foot or
tWoi
Statistics gathered in Chicago show
that the short skirt is responsible for
reducing the number of accidents to
women in boarding and alighting from
street cars and trains.
Before the advent of the short skirt
mnumerable falls were caused by wo-
men stepping on their own skirts Now
the short skirts are cutting down the
number of accidents says the stats
tician.
Hurrah again! Off with still a little
morei

Good Roads Delayed by Politics.

A warning against state as we'll as
local Tammanys, which he branded as
Wreckers Of efficient work, by high
way construction commissions was
sounded by A. r. Hirst, state high
way engineer of Wisconsin, at the an
nual banquet of the Portland Cement
association in Chicago Mr.. Hirst
urged that citizens and taxpayers all
over the nation organize to prevent
politicians-and inefficient commissions
from wasting millions which have
been appropriated for good roads.
When state has from $50, 100000 to
SlOO,OOO.OO0 to spend for highway
construction it Immediately has the at
tention of the new Tammanys and
other political machines" he said.
when there were only a few thou
sands for road building these politi-
clans considered it chicken feed and
paid little attention to it. Now when
state has an immense sum poIiti-
clans cannot get to it quickly enough.
When a politician sets himself up as
sole arbiter of expenditures for high
way SouStIuCIIOIl, he is throwing
monkey wrench into the machinery of
a department which is operating on
an efficient and economical basis. The
governor who will do things like that
Injuries the cause of highway construc
ton. Highway work must be divorced
from politics. 1t is disgrace to any
state whose officials refuse to COM
plete a link of good roads between
Chicago and Milwaukee-and l am not
going to name that state-becauSe
they cannot have everything their
way" Mr.. Hirst added that when
state changes its political complexion
and with it the leadership in it's high
way department, the shock Is felt
throughout the commonwealth.

adopted the BOrah amendment to the
naval appropriation bill which for
time was opposed by the administra-
ton, and there is little doubt that the
house will accept its inclusion in the
measure and that the President will
give 1t his approval. The amendment
authorizes and requests the President
to invite the governments of Great
Britain and Japan to confer with the
United States for the purpose of
promptly entering into an understand
ing by which the naval expenditures
and building programs of the three
nations shall be substantially reduced
annually during the next five years
1t is believed President Harding will
issue the call for the conference at an
early date after the navy bill becomes
law
The senate rejected the plan of the
naval affairs committee for the estab-
lishment of a navy base at Alameda,
in San Francisco bay, to cost S10O, ,0OO-
0OO, the opposition including several
senators who asserted the plan was a
real estate deal. Later the regulars
regained control and the committees
amendment providing for an enlist
ment strength of 10000 for the navy
was adopted. The house bill reduced
the number to 100000. Altogether the
senate bill carries about $1O0,000OOO
more than the house measure, and it
maybe tied up in conference for some
time. One feature that may cause de-
lay is the restoration of the appropria-
ton for the navy yard at Charleston,
S. {. This apparently induced many
Southern senators to vote for the in-
crease in enlisted strength.
