A ROAD FROM MERRILL

For a number Of years past

Before granting an applica-

commissioners say.
The new railroad would be

DRAINING the zuxder Zee.

At the inland shipping congress
held at Rotterdam recently the drain
age of the Zuyder zee formed the most
important subject of discussion. 1t
was pointed out that the drainage
would make necessary the construction
of a number of new canals. One
speaker pleaded that the building of
new villages and factories of the
polders should not be left to mere
chance. villages with churches should
be built near the canals. but industrial
works near the dykes. Such an ar
rangement would prove of advantage
to shipping and would prevent any
pollution of the polder water. A
number of the waterways connecting
the Zuyder zee ports are to be pre-
served, but wherever polders form a
continuation of the existing land, new
harbors will have to be made.-Scien-
tific American.

Mr.. Splndler never uses anything ex-
cept wood in its natural colorg he has
to know a great deals about trees. In

kind of wood found in Europe and
many pieces from other countries. He
pictures clouds, rain, and every
thing that an artist can picture with
paints. Some of his veneer takes him
hours of study and fitting. and some
of 1t is as fine as hair. Mr.. Spindler
has wood of every shade of yellow,

LINE OF FUTURE PRESIDENTS
Time May Come When Movie Fans
Will Elect Their Particular Heroes
to High Position.

Who Is TO be the first movie candi-
date for president Of the United
States? Don't laugh or scoff. Do you
know anybody who has a bigger fol-
lowing than a popular, good-lookins
movie starr Consider the voting
strength Of those who patronize the
movies; would they rally round one
of their idols If he were nominated
for high office? The vote of the movie
fan, male or female, is as good as that
of any other voter, and If he faneied
Reid Wallace or Ray Charles for pres
ident because one or the other of them
had a mice smile" or a love OF a
curl" the reason which determined
his vote would be just as well consid-
cred and just as weighty as many of
the reasons which prompt voters now
in the choice of q candidate.
All a man needs to be elected to
high office is reputation for honesty.
"a strong face" and a well-circulated
report that he is good to his wife"
And movie star should be able to
command these assets, Arthur H Fol
well writes in Leslie's. There are
probably 100000 movie fans in the
United States. Who will be the first
political boss astute enough to capt.
.alize this following? Think Of the
adoring fiappers Of voting age, thous-
ands upon thousands of them, who
would take their first interest In poll
tics were one of their screen favor
ties to be nominated for the presi-
dency. They'd vote him into the white
house because of his adorable eyes
or the twist of his hair at the temples.
Don't laugh. They would. And some
day they. will.

BALM or GILEAD LOVE GIFT

and falling suggested the busy bee and
gave the wine its nickname. It's. cor
rect name is 'Balm Of Gilead," and
there is an old superstition that it
must not be sold but always passed
on as love gift. Our soldiers, re-
turning from Mesopotamia, brought the
balm (Which is procured from an
Eastern tree) with them. The fungus
doubles in bulk with every brew. Balm
Of Gilead is actually yellowish, arc

medicinal qualities. In fact, the trees
