NEVER SAW A TRAIN,
TOWN OR CIRCUS

Rip Van Wrinkle has rival in Dunn
county. And even though the famed
Wrinkle had a record of twenty years
TO his credit, he was also "bested' two
years by this Dunn county boy who
loves seclusion. Only the other day
the editor learned that a boy living
near Vance Greek, some twenty miles
northeast of town, had spent his TWEEN
ty-tWO years on the home farm, not
even visiting the neighboring towns
in this section. He was visited about
a week ago by a resident of our city
who was driving TIN ough that part
of the country. and who desired TO
know how far it was to Royceville.
II guess it is about twenty miles, said
this modern Wrinkle. but I've never
been there although father has visited
that town many times"
Although the family have Il car, the
boy drives only about The farm and is
determined not to stray beyond the
place of his birth Here is a boy that
has never seen Il passenger train; a
motion picture; Il vaudeville show !;
never played a game OF pool: never
heard jazz never saw an aeroplane
and what is dearest to a boys heart
"A circus. 1t is hard to believe that
within Il community that enjoys all
rcccat inventions and comforts, we
have Il young man who is as much a
stranger to us as if he lived ON the

BURNING SANDS. BY Arthur Wei

EFT US say all the good things
that can be said truthfully
about this novel; it has dis
1inct purpose and achieves that pur-
pose by legitimate story means and
without preaching. 1t tells a good
and holding story by means Of char
acters one can become interested in,
all Of them lively il not living
persons.
The defects OF the book are as ap-
parent as its pronounced merits. 1t
offers an impossible idea when it tries
TO make q sophisticated reader be-
iieve that a father IN dying would
write letter confessing that his ac-
knowledged son was born six months
before he married the boys mother.
Lady Muriel (heroine) has a .'mon-
key" face, but we forgive her that
since she couldn't be held responsible.
but we doubt if any girl in England
grew up even in what the author
calls IAN epidemic of adultery" with
out ever meeting one woman with
a chaste thought; the author might
have allowed her one such acquaint-
ance. Then she might have doubted
the gossip which said Daniel Lane
kept a harom in the desert and this
doubt would have prevented her
from yielding TO her passion for him
and scheminG to make one of that
jolly party for Il hidden fortnight.
Even Kate Bindahe. freeSt talker
for q white woman we have met in
fiction, was shocked by Muriel's PLAN
These are details. however, that do
not affect the interest of the novel
and may enhance it. The counts that
20 deeper are these: An utter lack
of the sense of place on the part OF
the writer. The publishers insinuate
that he is a Sahara habitue and he
has, in truth, written previous
desert novel, Yet his burning sands
might as well be the burning sands
of Cape May for any impression they
give of the anticipated loneliness and
terrible grandeur another author,
Hichen-not n great writer by any
mcans-seems to be able TO impart
almost casually.
And the Grass vulGarity that shines
its way over every page! This. this
is the count that counts out, Rarely,
even in this frank period, has ap-
peared such published specimen of
utter lack OF good taste. All Muriel
could see when the drowned body of
her lover was restored TO her were
his Greenish- white feet" This is an
example of what this reviewer finds
detestable and untrue to the expert
ence Muriel would have had at such
Il moment.
a little more thought resulting in
the exclsion of such passages would
have wonderfully improved this ex-
tremely interesting book. In it's pas
