know anything about it. And she picked out the funniest piece she
 could find.
 She told those who were arranging
 the entertainment to put down on the program that there would be a reef tation by Willie Reed. She would
 simply call 1t recitation. They would soon hear how extreme
 ly clever and funny piece 1t was.
 How her father would laugh! Her father loved funny pieces, and her sis ter, Jessie, would be sure to remem- Der most of it and laugh about 1t aft
 erward.
 "Yes, they would chuckle over 1t
 indeed. And so would all those in the audience.
 In fact the whole audience would be
 in fits of laughter, as the saying was.
 They would be, without a doubt, hold ing their sides, as they laughed. It was easy for Willie to learn the
 piece by heart She learned 1t in no l time at all and she recited 1t aloud in her room until she was sure, without l a doubt, that she would remember 1t
 on the day of the entertainment. The great day at last came, and all of the relations and parents and
 friends assembled together. Willie's
 mother and father, her two brothers | and her twin sister, Jessie, were all there.
 They sat proudly in their seats and
 as Willie's turn came they sat a little ! straighter and felt even more proud. uroS n1op fn Soo Willie She was very pretty and had most engaging manners. And everyone l could see that her legs were quite steady-she was not shaking with nervousness. She was as calm as calm | could be!
 All was very quiet as Willie began | to recite.
 She recited the first line clearly and
 distinctly.
 Then-she began to laugh. She was l thinking how extremely funny her piece was. Oh, 1t was such a funny l piece. And as she thought about 1t she became convulsed with laughter. She tried to stop laughing, but she only thought of what she was to say next and it merely made her laugh | harder.
 l It was impossible to stop laughing
 now. And, in fits of laughter, Willie ! was led from the stage. 1 The entertainment went on, but Will
 lies piece was never heard.
 To this day-and Willie Is really
 almost grown-up now-her one regret
 is that no one heard that piece, for
 as Willie says, Tt was such a funny
 piece"
 And even as she thinks of 1t now
 she laughs. She cannot remember the
 piece to recite it, but she can remem-
 Der 1t we'll enough to still have 1t make l her laugh.
 But, alas and alack, no one ever
 heard that piece and no one has ever | had a laugh over it, except Willie
 and maybe, maybe she has had more | than her shareI

OPEN SHOP" ISSUE IS BAD FOR NATION,
 SAYS BIG BANKER

"I question whether 1t Is fair or will prove lastingly worth while to force the issue of the open shop If that is to be translated in practice into an effort to subjugate or discrimin- ate against unionizcd working men, at time when they are down; and l fear a lasting vic tory for democracy in industry can not be won If the fight for the open shop, commonly view ed by those affected as a cam paign against labor organiza- tions, is pressed when the men are begging for bread"
 So declares F H. Golf, presi- dent of the Cleveland Trust Co.,, who expresses his belief in col lcctivc bargaining and in the right and necessity of labor organizing for its bcttermcnt and protection.
 The nation is facing a seri- ous situation, says this banker, and he regards as unwise and perhaps destructive those en- ploycrs who have complicated matters by sowing bitterness in the ranks of the workers, up on whom so much depends if the country's business is to be returned to a normal and pros porous basis"

The Story of
 Our States
 By JONATHAN BRACE
 XXXII.-MINNESOTA
 ~ AMI N N E.
 MSAW2sasM M SOFIA Is NSZ4S- NSNNM formed part NHA ly from a DOT llA ttS S2zSIl tion of the MsSASE gs&NM Mort h W est
 W DAW territory and
 %192e: partly by the
 Northeast section of the Louisi
 ana Purchase. It was the Mis- sissippi river which was the di-
 viding line between these two
 large territories.
 The Eastern section was ceded
 by France to Great Britain in
 1763 and became a part of the
 United States at the end of the
 Revolution by the Treaty of Par
 is in 1783. 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 a part of
 the Louisiana Purchase, which
 was bought from France by the
 United States in 1908. AS this
 region became subdivided, 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 a fort on Lake Super for 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. But 1t was not un- til the Nineteenth century that permanent settlements were made. In 1922 the first mill was built at the Falls of St. Anthony, where were destined to arise such important successors. In 1841, Father Galtier built a 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 it, which in the Dakota Indian language makes the words "Minne,' meaning Water" and "Sotah" meaning "Sky-colored." Some times the state Is called the North Star State" from the motto on it's coat-of-arms. Minnesota was admitted to the Union in 1858. Its area Is S4,- 682 square miles and it is the most important of our wheat producing states. It has twelve presidential electors.
