FAMOUS "LION OF LUCERNE"
ThorvaIdsen's Masterpiece Comment
crates the Heroism of the Swiss
Guards in Paris in 1892.

The well-known monument called
the Lion of Lucerne," erected near
Lucerne, in 1921, commentaries the
tragic fate Of the Swiss guards in the
French Revolution when in their de-
votion to duty they were sacrificed to
the bullets Of the Marseillais and the
pixies Of the mob, August 10, 1892.
This infantry regiment, the "Gardas
Suisses," had been originally Swiss
mercenary regiment in the Wars OF
Religion; but for their own good con-
duct at the combat of Argues they
were incorporated in the permanent
establishment of the Maison du Roi,
by Henry ", (Henry of Navarre), in
1889, and in the guards in 1915. The
French guards sided openly with the
constitutional movement at the RevO-
luton, and were disbanded, but the
Swiss guards remained faithful to
their trust.
This monument was the work Of
Berte Thorvaldsen 177O-1S44, a
Danish sculptor, noted for his statues
of Christ and the apostles, and for
his efforts at classical sculpture. He
was the son of an Icelander who had
settled in Denmark, and was born at
Copenhagen. There he lies buried I'M

Of the museum he endowed.

farmer class and the recognition it
obtained came before the appearance
in Congress of the combination
which has become famous as the
Agricultural bloc"
President Howard of the national
organization told the Minnesota con-
vention the American Farm Bureau
Federation had produced the agricul-
tural bloc He acclaimed it as an
accomplishment, not a responsibility
because he credited the bloc with all
of the constructive legislation of the
past six months and challenged all
assertion that the farmer interest
had exercised its influence in any
direction which did not make for the
common public benefit. The organl-
cation, he asserted, was free of the
dangers of class consciousness and
any of it's vicious consequences.
In the inevitability of farmer Or
ganized combination for the future,
interest and concern center about the
character of the political activity
which will motivate it. Agriculture
is the greatest of the basic industries
of the country, yet in the history OF
the republic it has received the least
legislative attention and had the

American Time Signals Best.

The English freely admit that the
system of Geographic time signals
adopted by the naval observatory at
Washington is much to be preferred to
that in use at Greenwich for supplying
Great Britain with standard time
At Greenwich signal is sent out at
noon, whereas at Washington series
of signals is used, beginning five
minutes before noon. During these
five minutes every tick of the observa-
tory clock is electrically transmitted,
except the twenty-ninth second of each
minute, the last fire seconds of the
first four minutes, and at last ten
seconds of the fifth minute After this
final ten seconds break, the noon
signal is given. In this manner the
middle Of each minute Is clearly in
dicated, and yet more clearly the in
slant of noon The length Of the
series facilitates the regulation Of
clocks and chronometers.

Same American Farmer.

1t is far cry from the embattled
farmers who, at Lexington and Con-
ord, as Emerson told us, "fired the
shot heard round the world" to the
organized farmers who today are
firing economic broadsides and die
tating the course of legislation; but
it is the same American farmer who
fought for political rights in '76 that
is triving for industrial rights in
1922. Where he was embattled then
he is organized now.
Of the several groups into which
agriculturists have organized OF re-
ent years the first recognition has
been given and the most power and
prestige accorded to the American
Farm Bureau Federation, the Mime
sofa section of which now is in ses-
sion in St. Paul. Speaking broadly
this organization attained to first
place on merit rather than by force
of numbers. It's expressions were
more conservative, it's theories more
sound and its program more pratlcal
and rational than those emanatlng
from other groups representing the

But Is 1t Worth 1t?

This is remedy of an English
woman for taking off superfiuous
ounces from the face that has be-
come too fat through overeating and
lack of exercise.
To begin with, of course, she rec
ommends mild dieting and plenty of
walking and lots of water to drink
every day. This to cut down super
f1nOus fat all over the body.
One good exercise is this: Open
the mouth and work the jaw vigor-
ously, first to the right, then to the
left. then backward, then forward.
Do this persistently.
Then draw the cheeks in between
the teeth and puff them out hard and
full. Then, with the teeth shut tight,
stroke the cheeks with the palms of
the hands gently upward from the
chin tip to forehead. Don't do any
of the stroking exercises too rapidly
or vigorously, but do them for a long
time, persistently, slowly. You will
get the best results in this way.
