FAMOUS MEN.
RLurARcH


 Although the period of years dur ing which Plutarch the great Greek writer of biographies and miscella- neons works, lived is somewhat shrouded in mystery, yet he tells us that he lived to ripe old age and that he did not begin the study of Latin until he was eighty years of age He was horn about the year 50 A D. but he did not begin the writ ing of the work that has made his name famous, Parallel Lives" until he was past fifty, and then he was number of years in its preparation, and he did not publish it until very late in life.
 The reason that Piutarch began the study of Latin so late in life was be- cause of his great activity as a lec- turer in Greek, on philosophy. and he 1 had no time to devote to Latin and Roman history until late in his life. 1 For this reason it seems unusual that 1 he should have given to the world the best biogr aphies of the great Italians of the Christian era and thereafter.
 Anyone familiar with Pl1tarch's S Hives" will recognize the great amount of learning and research re- quired in their production. And for that reason, as well as for their con siderable length, it must have taken | Plutarch many years in their compi- ! lation.
 1 It Is true that many of the lives of the Romans that he wrote do not show such an extent of research or such a wealth of authoritie sas do ] his biographies of his own country men. But P1utarch must have possess ed or had access to a great store of books. and his diligence as an histori- an canno tbe questioned. if his accura- cy is in some points impeached.
 The reason for Plutarch's long life and his activities at an advanced age may be found in his own ideas as to the preservation of the body, as shown in his "Precepts About Health In this work he says:
 ~Milk should be taken for food rath CT than for drink, and wine should not be indulged in after hard work or mental effort, but if does not tend ] to increase the bodily disturbance. Better than purges or eIneties is a temperance diet, which induces the bodily functions to act of themselves ' Another of his wise sayings in this book is: 'Idleness does not conduct to health" and still another; "A mar should learn by experience his bodily capabilities without always consulting a physician"
 In one of his famous orat!cns Plu. taroh indicates that he was somewhat of vegetarian, for in this he makes a touching appeal to men not to de- stroy life for mere giuttony.
 Plutarch visited Rome more thar once late in life and enjoyed thu friendship of prominent men, durint which he gathered material for hi. historical works. But a real master, of the Italian language and genera
 insight Into Roman institutions ht never attained.
 Our knowledge of antiquity owe more to PlEtarch than the any othe
 one writer, and his Hives" became ou
 primary authority for countless fact
 of history of score of centuries aga l Plutarch is generally credited witt . having been born at Chaeronea, Il ! Boeotia, in 4s A. D. and his death oc ) I cured in 158 4. D. at the advances LaEe Of elghty-for years.

"Day,ixht wasting D


 MT. Editor: If there was a proposi- tion to run the days of the week hack ward instead of forward there would he found in Norwich enough people to ad- voeate and champion it. and to keen the public nerve on edge as to how 1t would come out.
 The prorosition to turn the clocks backward and forward to accommodate the whims of a few who caug91t the com plaint during our late war and who are suffering their annual relanse. seems to he now the uppermost question before the public.
 This writer is not late riser, any, wav-eets uu at o'clock a. m. in order to follow his daily calling which requires eight hours performance, less lunch hours. consequently. he is averse to any alterations Of the clock which will obliee him to get up at 6. n.. but he has no objection to offer if others of his neigh bors prefer that hour fer their own con venience.
 In looking ever the list of advocates for the early hour. however. he finds a big ma iority who. for any reason he sees might as well rest in their beds until 2 by standard time. excent perhaps for some unknown consideration. Now. Mir Editor. much ingenuity, skin and expense has been expended to make clocks and watches accurate tinnA-kekp. CTS but that goes for nothing with the "dayiight saver" who sees in the best chrononeter only very worthless piece of mechanism that shows accurate sun 1 time only on four days in the twelve month Perhaps 1t is information fol him to know that if the clock stood still 1! 1t would yet give accurate time twice 1T the tyyenty-four hours. which Is a trfht better accounting than he gives the cloc5 credit for.

 States, is at the present time chairman
 of the executive board of the Union Pa cihc railway system. But from 1908 to 1913 he held not only this ofice but also was acting president of the same road and also of the Southern Pacific having been called to these important posts In connection with the Harrison system of railroads following the death of Mr. Har- , rirnan Ills choice for this important duty was natural, inasmuch as for five years previous he had been general cOrn-

had it not been a fact that the neighbor- hood gossiped because she made no se- cret of the fact that she carried large suals about on her person.
 There is such thing as showing 8 wise regard for the protection of hard earned money, but the policy of telling the world where your valuables is placed when it happens to be where 1t is easy to get in and steal even though it means the taking of life constitutes one of the greatest mistakes. Those whose idea of safety is so easily destroyed by fire, rob Der CT assassin can hardly be favorably

TAXING ALIEN PURcHAsERs.

A new question in taxation seems to have been raised by the action of collec- tors in New York city informing busi- ness visitor to this country from London that he could not leave until he had paid an income tax for the period of thres weeks that he had been here. He hadn't come here for the purpose of featuring, he hadn't come for the purpose of selling goods. he hadn't come with the idea of acquiring big roll to take back to the other side, but had come here for the purpose Of purchasing . certain cuan- tity of machinery which he needed in his
 business. He found what he wanted and closed the deal and because he was going to take out of the country manufactured l goods which we are quite anxious to sell he was asked to pay the government an l income tax for the period of his stay. He didn't nay the&s3.5a which was as-
 sessed against him when the collector ar-
 bitrari'y took $17.oOo as his yearly sal ary, though he maintained that he had
 no salary. but a friend gave security as- surfing it's payment in case 1t was held l by higher authority that 1t should be paid.
 | This seems 60 be case of killing the
 goose that lays the golden egg. If we are to impose tax upon those who come here for the purpose of looking over and purchasing American goods we
 can exnect to drive business away. It is
 a provision of the law that compensation 1 for labor or personal services in the United States is subject to an income tax
 in the case of nonresident aliens but the
 reasonable interpretation would he thai this covered income from goods sold here or from services rendered here rather than for the sDendine of money in this country. It Is one of those taneies whicf seems to go beyond the intention Of tl1s law.

CANDO EDITOR
IN AUTO SPILL

The editor of the Cando Herald
and his estimable wife came near los
ing their lives when their car turned
turtle while on their return trip from
Devils Lake, and the editor in the
following interesting manner tells
just how it happened:
"The herald editor and his esteem
ed better half are now in posi-
ton to know all about the excruci-
ating sensation that comes with an
auto turnover-in the ditch. We
had taken load of Boy Scouts to
the encampment at Devils Lake, and
were on our way back home about
noon last Saturday. About mile OF
more east of Grand Harbor we came
On soft spot in the graveled road
loesened up by the hard rain, the
car started to skid and headed for
the ditch and R. R. embankment. In
trying to avoid a head-on with thu
right-of-way, we turned a little too
sharply, the wheels sunk in a soft
bed Of clay, and the Studebaker turn
ed over, with the wheels in the air,
and the both Of us fastened under
meath. The editor extricated Kim
sek thru the rear of the car, only IA

of superhuman effort we managed to
raise the car sufficiently for her to
work her way out. Neither was SER
iously hurt although badly bruised
in spots. 1t was a mircle of good
fortune that both were not crushed
to death. The car itself was badly
smashed in front-but that is minor
matter, considering the way both
occupants escaped. 1t is an exper-
ience that to have once is once too
often. We know more now, and we
share with those who have been thru
similar experiences the shocking
horror of the whole terrible sensa-
tion. Cando is thinking of forming a
select organization of those who
have been thru it, Mrs. D. and
ourself herewith apply for charter
admission. No-dear, kind and in
quiring friend-the driveA Of that
ill-fated Studebaker was perfectly
sober, and was not driving at racer
speed. Thank you for asking US
about it,"
Miss Mary Hilgendolf left Sat-
urday for her home at Bowbells, N.
D., after spending the past three
weeks here as guest at the home of
her friend Beatrice Stefonowicz. She
was accompanied to Bowbells by Mis-:
Beatrice, who will spend a short
time there visiting with old friends.

C|LbERTSON'S
PRODUCTS Win
PRIZES AT FAIR

E. w. Gilbertson, undertaken and
furniture dealer, is without doubt
the modest fellow to be found in the
city. Anyone who knows him will
admit that, and although he has
several carloads of purebred Hol-
stein cattle, Duroc Jersey cattle and
poultry on his farms he did not ex-
hibit any of them at the fair, not
because he was afraid he could not
win premiums, but simply because
he preferred that such premiums go
to the active farmers Of the Lake
Region. He doesn't believe that it
wer''d be the light thing to do to ex-
hibit his exp !nsive registered stock,
most Of. which WAS shipped in from
the east, agains.. stock raised he.e
by farmers. but what we started to
say is that C. o All eson, one of our
prosperous farmers, who came here
a few years age f.tm Iowa, ard is
making GOA, woc the Garnd Gam
picn prize at the 1; ir last W lex with
a Duroc Je.sey which he purchased
Las: winter from NJ. Gilbertsor. This
animal was six months cid when
Mr.. Arneson bought him, and a nicer
porker would be harder to find on
the American continent.
The first Duroc Jersey of this
strain that Mr.. Gilbertson shipped
in came from Sullivan, Ind, where
the highest grade of registered pork
ers are raised. They are winning
the admiration of everyone who sees
them, and the amount of pork they
are producing right along from the
amount of feed they are getting is
surprising even to Mr.. Gilbertson.
Mr.. Ameson was formerly an Iowa
farmer where hogs are raised on a
large scale, and it did not take him
long to get possession of one of G's.
boars as soon as they were offered
for sale. The pig which won the
premium here is fully as good as any
ever exhibited at the fairs of Grand
Forks and Fargo, and we learn that
Mr.. Arneson is thinking seriously Of
exhibiting the animal at these fairs.
Another exhibit that came from
Gilbertson's farms which won a first
prize is Rhode Island hen owned
by Mike Axtman. This hen was pro-
cured from a setting of eggs gotten
at the Gilbertson farms by Chas
Peterson in the spring Of 1921, who
later sold the bird to Mr.. Axtman
The hen is a pure bred bird, and
came from flock of Rhode Islands
shipped in by Mr.. Gilbertson from the
Willow Grove Stock Farm near St
Cloud, MINI. The bird exhibited was
easily the best of its kind at the fair
and all poultry fanciers spent con.
siderable time at the pen where
she was enclosed,

CITY LOT SALE
HERE next week

H. j. Halvorson and j. M. Miller
are in the city for the purpose of
conducting monster auction sale of
city lots here next week. The 49,
acre tract just east Of the city which
was formerly owned by Mrs. Moore
of Owatonna, Minn., has been sur
veyed into city lots which will be
sold at public auction commencing
on Wednesday of next week. Col.
F. Bockelman, the famous real es-
tate auctioneer, will cry the sale.
The lots are all 25x140 feet in
size, and not less than two will be
sold to each customer, though any
number over that amount will be
disposed of at each sale. The site
is located in one of the most desir-
able building places in the city, where
the drainage is good, and is not so
far out as to be inconvenient. The
site is only half block from the city
water sewer, and these utilities will
be extended just as soon as building
commences.
For a number of years there has
been a big demand for lots on this
site, but the former owner refused to
cut it up, and for the first time in
the history Of the city the tract may
now be purchased in city lot tracts.
At the present time it is the only
available building site in the city
and we predict that the lots will go
fast at the sale, and at good price
The surveying of the tract took
place last week, and the streets were
graded on Monday and Tuesday Of
this week. The site now presents q
very neat and attractive appearance
and all who pass it cannot help but
admire it's desirability as building
place.
