Little Bobbie Jones was told to write
an essay on Doors" and the effort
which he sent in was as follows:-
"Most houses have all the doors
that they need, and no house is COM
plete without at least one. The two
main differences between door and
a gate is, first, their opposite location !;
and, second, that people have much
less respect for gate, and would
rather kick it than knock on it.
But gate is more useful than a
door because it does everything that
a door can do, and, besides that, it
can be climbed over, and often is.
1.-THE doorhandle Is small but i'm
portant part of the door which people
never appreciate until it comes off.
Most people never notice the door
handle unless it is brought to their
notice on account Of having jam spread
all over it.
"Doors are great things to give peo-
pie privacy, and would give them still
more If it wasn't for the keyholes."

AUToCRAT HAD UNHAPPY LIFE
Mighty Gear Could Find No One In
His 0ominions That Would
Tell Him the Truth.

A dramatic little story that illu-
mines in a flash the strangely I'M
wholesome life that the czar Of Rus
sIa had to live in the old days is to be
found in Mr.. James L. Ford's book,
''Forty-Odd Years in the Literary
Shop" Mr.. Ford had an intimate &C.
Quaintance with Baron de Grimm,
whose father had been the tutor Of
Alexander II Of Russia, and who him
self had been an intimate friend Of
the czarevitch.
From De Grimm. he writes, gained
an idea OF the isolation Of an autOcrat
and the atmosphere of dread, suspi-
cion and uncertainty that surrounds
an autocratic court. When the Gar
Alexander II sent his son to the
Riviera for the sake Of his health he
received from the young mans at
tendants only vague reports in regard
to his condition, although couriers ar
rived daily with letters. On one occa-
sion the soldier who brought the post
bag was ushered into the presence Of
the czar, who after hasty glance at
his correspondence exclaimed: "There
Is no letter from my son, and it is
some days since I have heard from
him!"
But, SIRE" exclaimed the soldier,
The Is no longer able to writer
mot able to writer exclaimed the
sovereign Of all the Russias. "Win
nobody ever tell nae anything" And
It may be remembered that Nicholas
II uttered 4 like despairing cry when
the news Of the January massacre,
which his courtiers had sedulously
kept from him, finally reached his
ears.-Youth's Companion.

A London magazine once published

A London magazine once published
in its "Curiosities" photograph OF
an Indian boy who was born without
arms, and was giving exhibitions in
England of shooting with a bow and
arrow. This number Of the magazine
actually reached the boys father,
Red Indian dwelling somewhere in his
camp in the wilds of North America
and he recognized In the picture his
son, whom for years he had lost sight
of. The joy Of the boys family, on
learning that he was alive and making
a career for himself, may be mag
ined. It is difficult to say which Is
the more extraordinary-the fact OF
an English magazine reaching so very
unlikely a reader, or the almost incred-
ible coincidence of his finding his sons
portrait in 1t.

SULPHUR and the Soil.

In certain parts Of France the resi-
due from gasworks Is extensively used
as q fertilizer. Analysis Of several
samples Of the material show that 1t
contains about 40 per cent Of sulphur
and from l to 8 per cent Of nitrogen,
! in the form of ammonia or its salts.
Experiments in garden soil prove
that the value of this unusual fertiliz-
ing agent is due in part to the large
amount of sulphur In 1t. Flour OF
sulphur is said to promote the growth
OF both roots and leaves, and to give
the plants a deeper green color than
they would have without it. Probably
it helps them to form chlorophyl. More
over, some Of the sulphur is oxidlzcd
and becomes sulphate in the soil.

TRUTH AND RESEARCH
,~Bv Professor Daniel Starch
Graduate School of Business Administration,

Graduate School Of Business Administration,
Harvard University.
First, in my opinion, the most important devel-
opment in advertising during the past twenty
years, has been the movement for Truth-in-A dver-
tising The Associated Advertising Clubs Of the
World, acting through the national and local vigil
lance committees and the better business bureaus,
have been the chief and guiding force. The work
already accomplished represents probably the most
important development in the entire history of ad-
vertisng.
The second outstanding development is the one
just now beginning, namely, the application of
scientific research methods in making and carry
ing out advertising plans Real research methods
are Just beginning to be worked out and applied.
Next to the truth movement, this will be the most
potent factor in reducing waste and in making ad-
vertising more effective.

NOLAN FILES

w. l. Nolan, speaker of the Minnesota House of
Representatives at the last session, has once more
filed as candidate for the legislature.
Mr. Nolan is one of the few city members OF the
state law-making body who has shown himself to
have a statewide vision. His home is in Mime
apolis, but as public servant he has been able
to place Minnesota above his city.
In his important capacity as speaker, Mr.. Nolan
was fair, just and busness-ke in directing and
maintaining to degree of surprising efficiency
the work of the representatives.
With these facts in mind, can assure w. l.
that there will not be cast against in Bemidli
and also that there would be many cast for him
if he were running in this district
Public agitation has been started against young
men driving automobiles with while out

OUR SYSTEM OF ROADS is BEST
IRudolph L.. in The Long Prairie LEADER


The report of Commissioner Babcock showing
the results of the first years administration Of the
road system under the Babcock law is indeed
an interesting article. 1t is report in which ev-
cry citizen can we'll take pride.
It. indicates the successful way in which our
state road system is administered and calls atten-
ton once more to circumstance authorities from
other states coming to recognize, and that is
that Minnesota has the best state road system OF
any state in the Union. The work is efficiently and
economically done, and hundreds of miles of good
roads are being built in permanent way
1t will be only question of three or four years
at the outside when the great 7,00Omle roadbuild-
ing program undertaken by the state will be COM
pleted, after which the state road work will be
largely a matter of maintenance and then the add
ing of other mileage to the system.
It was never the intention to have the state inn
mediately pave big mileage of state roads. The
plan was to grade and gravel the system so as to
bring good road to every section of the state,
and then to pave on those sections in which travel
was unusually excessive and of character such
that the ordinary gravel road would not stand up
under it.
1t looks as if Minnesota had at last adopted the
proper system and there is every reason to be-
leve that within ten or fifteen years many miles
of state road will have been completed, and so
many additional miles added to the system, that
Minnesota from end of its to the other
will be state of good roads.
