mind they rushed through the calls
for doctors, nurses, garage men and
then began sending messages to
neighboring towns and cities for
help. The six operators remained in
the telephone office all night sending
messages for passengers of the ill
fated train. The office was crowded
with hysterical men and women, but
the girls insisted on quiet and order
so that they could attend to their du-
ties which they performed most ef-
ficiently. The account of the AMMAN

fact that our American girls like our
boys can rise to an emergency and in
hours of stress and danger those

things, and slipshod methods Of deal
ing with students who do not keep up
to the mark are not wholly unknown
even in some of the most famous
homes of higher learning. Failure in
this respect on the part Of the govern
ing body is the cause of much Of that
mediocrity Of which the Dartmouth
head so justly complains.
One Of the reasons for this 1axity is
the mistaken idea on the part Of the
public and even Of some educators
that the true test of the success Of an
educational institution is the crowded
state of it's classrooms and dormi-
tories. This is the fallacy that leads
to the fatal preference Of the guam
tity rather than the quality product of
graduates.
If the remarks Of DR.. Hopkins will
lead to a little retrospect1on on the
part Of the presidents and authorities
of other colleges and to determina-
tion to look more to the essential
things in education in the future, he
will have rendered real service to
the youth of America and, through
them, to the whole nation.- Washing

Do You Know

1
That the farmer is considered oul
most thrifty citizen?
That he is a close buyer on every.
thing he purchases for home, farm
and personal use?
That as a rule he buys the best OF
that which is represented to be the
best?
That he is a grea. reader of all
merchandise offerings in newspaper
and catalogue?
! That he likes to read about the new
and better things in merchandise and
know the goods he buys?
That he feels safer in knowing that
his money will be, refunded promptly
if he is not satisfied?
That over ninety-fve per cent of
the mail-order buying of the country
is done by the farmer?
That the secret of the mail-order
houses success is simply persistent
follow-up advertising?
That this persistent follow-up ad-
vertising is the life blood of the mail
order business?
That it will pay every home mer-
chant to study the mail-order cata-
logue thoroughly?
That the mail-order catalogue is
full of valuable pointers in regard to
attractive advertising copy?
That the mail-order method of fea-
turing leaders is one which the home
merchant could easily and successful
lily adopt?
That the home merchant who wants
to compete successfully with the mail
order house must learn to advertise
persistently?
That persistent newspaper advertis-
ing, together with good descriptive
copy, is the only proven means of
combating mail-order competition in
your community?
By a continued use of advertising
you keep up constant acquaintance
with the buying public; you popular
ize your store and the goods you sell;
and you verify the good business judg.
ment OF persistent advertising any
time you care to look at the figures in
your bank book and compare them
with the period in which you did not
advertise.
Remember: The mail-order houses
have no better bargains than you have
yet they will make sales by their per.
sistent advertising, as against yor
wont if you don't.-Bemidji Sentinel.

Scrapping SUSPENDED.

Secretary DENLY announced recent
ly that there would for the present be
no further scrapping Of battleships or
other naval armament. AS there had
been no scrapping that amounts to
anything, it can hardly be said that
there will, as the result of the an
nouncement, be any change of policy.
All powers, including the United
States, have been holding on to their
really effective vessels, only ships that
were practically obsolete having been
dismantled. Even certain old ships
that is, old by the navy standards,
ships that are far from being up to
date, such as the connecticut and Ver-
mont t-are being retained, while work
on two of the most powerful ships in
the navy is being rushed. Thus far,
then, there has been little or no result
from the conference of last winter.
The American policy, as announced
recently, is also the policy of the other
powers.
Several reasons are assigned for the
decision of the secretary of the navy.
It is feared that, in view of the critical
situation in the Near East, Great
Britain may find it necessary to with
draw, for time at least, from the
conference naval agreements. Indeed
it does not seem likely that any of the
powers will just now, in view of the
unsettled state of the world, consent
or dare to weaken themselves on the
ocean. Our government has also been
influenced by the fact that neither
France nor Italy has ratified the naval
treaties.
So we seem to be back pretty much
! where we were before the conference
assembled. There will, it is said, be
no scrapping by our government till
other governments begin the work
! and even then our government will be
careful not to move in advance of the
others in reducing naval STRENGTH

other day. Indeed, the mutterings Of
the storm are already heard, and the
indications are that a heated contro-
versy is about to- begin. President
Hopkins had at least the courage of
his convictions when he laid it down
as automatic that the opportunities
for securing an education by way Of
the college course are definitely a
privilege and not at all universal
right. Even that proposition is likely
to be disputed, but what will really
cause the descent of an avalanche of
hostile comment is his declaration that
facilities for obtaining higher edu-
cation should be increasingly reserved
to the "aristocracy Of brains, com
posed Of the intellectually alert and
eager, if democracy is to be quality
product rather than simply quantity
one and if excellence and effectiveness
are to displace the mediocrity toward
which democracy has such tendency
to skid"
That sentence is fairly bristline
with challenges, and doubtless many
of them will be accepted. The main
contention Of DR.. Hopkins, that re-
strictions, should be placed on the mum.
bers who seek to go to college, is
theoretically correct. That is why all
colleges and universities worthy OF
the name have fixed entrance require
ment with which all applicants for ad-
mission must comply. That, too, is
why college authorities reserve to
themselves the right of removing
from the rolls at any time any student
not only for infraction of discipline
but also for failure to keep up to the
intellectual standards set by the insti-
tuition. But the possession of right
and the exercise of it are two different

Another issue of the Minnesota

have also received free copies of this
publication. But for the information
of those who have not been so favored,
it might be we'll to state that the
Harpoon is in a class by itself, much
as is the Twin City Reporter. After
glancing through the pages of the

thanksgiving that we find in the
publication no word of commentator

probably almost too generous with its
praise of local enterprises, but on the

of making enough noise to awaken the

A STATESMAN SPEAKS.

Senator Kellogg's keynote speech
delivered at St. Cloud was the address
of statesman. It is only rarely that
the people of Minnesota have the
privilege of listening to so lucid and
concise a discussion of the big eco
nomic problems confronting this gov
ernment and the steps that have been
taken by congress to solve those
problems.
Frank B. Kellogg comes before the
people of this state after having rep
resented them in the United States
senate for period Of six years. Those
have been the most eventful six years
in the history of the civilized nations.
The great world war was fought and
a treaty was finally made. Then fol-
lowed period which has sorely tried
the peoples of all the nations, especial
ly those who were engaged in the
conflict. AS Senator Kellogg said,
during the war the country was unit
ed, but when the terms of peace were
being made and during the period of
reconstruction through which we are
just passing, party and class lines have
again been drawn too tightly. Never
since the days of the reconstruction
following the civil war has this ma
tion been in greater need Of real
leaders in the halls of congress, states
men with vision and with the ability
to build on firm foundations, construc-
tive leaders.
It was Minnesota's good fortune
to have had in the senate dur
ing this period two of her most able
citizens. One of them is a seasoned
legislator who long ago won his
laurels. The other is man of such
unusual ability who has so unre-
servedly given himself to the task at
hand that his record as senator has
attracted the attention of the whole
nation.
Frank B. Kellogg comes before the
people of this state to give an account
of his stewardship during the past six
years. If ever man served his state
and nation faithfully anu with all the
talents that he possessed it has been
Senator Kellogg. On every big public
issue he has been found fighting fol
the best interests of the common peo.
pie because he is of them and he
knows their needs. AS he said in his
address Wednesday evening: "On. the
stability and independence of the mar
who turns the wheels rests the hope
of this nation"
The voters of Minnesota have a high
privilege at this coming election
They have the privilege of casting
their ballots for one of the ablest
statesmen in the highest Legislative
body in the world, a man whose in.
tegrity is not to be questioned, mar
