JUDGE MILLER
ASSUMES DUTIES
Long Fight is Over and New. Federal
.! Jurist Says He is Now Out
of Politics q.
CHOICE UNPOPULAR IN STATE
Independents Win Try to sGet" Nc
Cumber at Coming Election

Judge Andrew Miller, recently ap-
pointed on the federal bench in North
Dakota by President Harding on the
Recommendation Of Senator McCum-
Der, took the oath of Office in Mime
apolis Monday before Judge Wilbur
F. Booth. Judge Miller left for Bis
marck Tuesday, where he will sit in
chambers. :
The appointment was fought by
former judges Of the North Dakota
supreme court, N. G. Young and Bur
leigh Spaulding, leaders Of the Inde-
pendent Voters league.
Judge Miller announced that the
fight was over as far q he was con-
Fcerned, and that he was. out Of poll
tics for good: -
II am willing to forget the whole
thing" he said, "and hope they will
do. the same" T.. ~,
His appointment was proposed. ten
months ago by Senator p. ]. McCum-
Der Of North Dakota in congress. As
the result Of this, leaders Of the Inde-
pendent forces, it is said, are going
out with the avowed determination to
defeat McCumber in the coming elec-
tion.
."They won't be able to do it, tho,'
Judge Miller declared. "Senator Nc.
Cumber will be reelected"
ut is difficult to say, however, what
will be the outcome in the primaries
June g." he added. Nobody can say
with any authority at all which side
is stronger, the I. v. A. or the Non.
partisan league. The fight will be be-
tween the two-the Nonpartisans and
the I. v. A., or the irregular republi-
cans, as I call them. So far as am
concerned, however, the issue will be
the same. l am regular republican
myself but I'm out Of politics"

wooDMEN TO CLEAR ALL ROADS
Work Of shoveling Snow Will Start
ts Tomorrow Morning

The Woodmen are making extensive
preparations for their big Monte Carlo
days Of ,49'' dance to be held here
Feb. IA and everything possible Is
being done to insure the success Of
the affair. ,...a ....... .@ -. VI
At the regular meeting Tuesday ev-
ening some one suggested that it
might be difficult for many people to
reach Cakes the night Of the dance
because of the huge snow drifts now
blocking traffic in all directions To
think is to act with the Wdodmen, so
it was at once decided to select three
men to act as road bosses and have
charge Of the snow shoveling brigades.
Every member Of the lodge is re-
quested to meet at the Leader cloth
ing store Friday morning Of this week
at 8 o'clock, armed with any sort Of
instrument that may be used to, re-
move snow from the middle Of the
road and deposit it on one side where
it will not interfere with the progress
of people desiring to come to town.
Spades, shovels, picks. wheel barrows,
axes, hoes, wheel and slip scrapers
and plentiful supply of good old
elbow grease are among the require
ments, and no drones are wanted.
It might be well to add that. one
need not be a member 81 the Woodmen
lodge in order to be eligible for the
work Of shoveling snow. The roads
leading out Of town in all directions
are in bad shape just now, and busi-
ness 10 suffering as . result, because
people find it practically impossible to
get here. Every business man in the
city should be interested in this pro-
ject and either send q man. or 60 him
self and operate the business end of
q shovel II possible. :.
Besides being mighty good adver-
tising for the dance, it will serve an
other useful purpose in making it cas-
ier for people to come in from the
country to do their trading.
In fact, we really think the mayor
should come out Of his overcoat and
take a hand in the demonstration. -
He could wade drifts that would be
over the head Of the average man. By
all means give him shovel and en-
courage him all you can. It would be
inspiring to see Mr.. Knox bucking
snow and the example would certainly
put pep in the gang. "
Later: It is reported that Harry
McGrew and Gene Naylor are going
to help out on the job. II this proves
to be true we're going out To see it
if we have to lock up the shop.

Scientific Reason Alleged rs That
Blondes Are Less Resistant Than
Their Darker Brothers.

Scientists tell us that blonde hair liz
dying out, the reason being that
blondes, being less resistant, die soon
er than brown-haired persons. The
cities, too, show smaller proportion
Of light-haired and light-eyed persons
than the country. Variety of cOlors in
the hair of population Is sure sign
of civilization and culture This vari-
ETY. Is never found in pure races, like
indians, Africans. negroes and the ASH
atics. The Maltese and the Hebrews
have the largest proportion of brown
haired people, and the Danes the
smallest. But the Danes make up for
Il by having the largest percentage of
blondes. When the hair comes down
.lose on the forehead, forming peak,
that is sign of strong constitution
and Il long-lived ancestry. The man is
also credited with having a short,
sharp temper, great honesty of pur-
pose, excellent observation, and perse-
verance. Stiff derby and opera hats
are responsible for much of the bald
ness found among young men in large
cities. The unyielding rims of these
hats interfere with the circulation in
those veins which return the blood
from the scalp.

Charles Dickens Didn't Admire Boat,
and Pilot Had Little Use for
the Novelist.

When the Connecticut river was
more navigable than it is today Dick
ems rode by steamer from Springfield
to Hartford. We are to suppose he
got little pleasure from the trip. for in
describing the steamer in his Ameri-
can Notes he wrote:
Il am afraid to tell how many feet
short this vessel was, or how many
feet narrow. To apply the words
length and width to such measurement
would be a contradiction in terms.
But | may state that we all kept to
the middle of the deck lest the boat
should unexpectedly tip over"
But If Dickens was critical of the
boat. says a writer in the Springfield
Republican. the pilot was no less crit
ical of Dickens In venting his opinion
of the novelist he characterized him
as a "fussy dude who was afraid to
step up on the gangplank fer fear II
would break, who kept his head out
of the window for fear the boat would
run against something. and who w0r-
ried for fear his baggage would he
lost" In fact the pilot declared thar
he was so di>gusted with the novelist
that he never would read any of his
stories.
