Washington. ID. c., October IL
The department of commerce an
nounces that provisional figures for
the first three months of 1923 show
higher death rates than for the cor
responding quarter of 1922. For the
states compared. the death rate for
the three months was 1873 in 1928
against 1879 for the first three
months of 1922. ....
Owing to differences in the sex
and age distribution of the popula-
tions; the crude death rates or
states may not be comparable. Bet
er comparisons. however,, can be
made if adjusted rates based on a
standard population are used. IL the
ratios of the crude rates to the ad-
iusted rates for 1922 be applied to

RUNNING FULL TIME
Industrial Plants Are Operating In
Mankato And Elsewhere

WdHNdkO SNhe
Richard T. Jones of Minneapolis,
district director Of the United
States department OF labor for the
states OF Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas, North and South Dakota
and Nebraska, has just issued a
statement of conditions of labor in
several of the states. Accarding to
statement of Mr.. Jones, general,
industrial and employment condft-
ions in Minnesota are excellent.
The situation with respect to un-
skilled labor is especially satisfying,
due to the volume of road con-
struction, demands for men in nor
thern lumber camps and the call
for general farm workers. A short.
age OF men to work on farms by
the month is apparent, however.
Building mechanics are plentiful.
due largely to the curtailment of
construction activities. Iron mines
in northern Minnesota still EN-
rloying normal forces with pros
pects-for continuation OF the
present activities until the middle
OF November.

WORDS DATE BACK
TO MERE SOUNDS
Speech a Development of Sign
Language of Primitive Times

Words are not the only means OF
communication between individuals.
Signs are used, and have been since
recorded history, among many of the
savage races. Sounds among animals
serve the same purpose. Even to
this day VIC have certain gounds
among the most civilized nations
that convey ideas OF our minds. For
instance, a laugh may indicate en-.
Joyment, amusement or derision. A
cry may be OF pain, OF establishment.
OF prohibition. OF assent, or OF suppl
cation. A cough. or any other sound.
articulate or inarticulatc, for tho
purpose OF attracting tho attention
OF another, is an act of language.
Probably, language began by In
articulate sounds and signs with
primitive man; and in tho instant
that sound or sign was first meant
10 convey an idea--in that instant
speech began.
A dictionary In the easiest medium
by which to increase word .knowl.
edge. We have chosen Tho New
Universities Dictionary for q general
distribution 10 our readers. believing
this TO DO tho most useful as we'll ms
acceptable gift within our power.
The coupon which wo publish daily
in this paper. explains the terms by
which everyone may possess this
trcasury OF knowledge.
