bark from a stump a salamander was
found and there was a wonderful

tainence of copntys agent, but he
was certain that because of the size
of Stearns county, this appropria-
tion would be doubled if two county
agents were maintained here. To do
this it would cost the tax payers
$1.OO on every $500 in taxes raised.
M. A. Nye, Farm Service man of
the Blue Valley Creamery Company,
told briefly of the alfalfa campaign
carried on by the Blue Valley this
year. He said he was certain that
the alfalfa was the crop to bring the
greatest profit to the farmers. Mr..
Nye said his organization was con-
vinced that Is acres of alfalfa could
be successfully and profitably grown
on the 1900 farms in territory adj
jacent to Sauk Centre. There was
between 600 and 700 acres of alfa-
alta raised in this vicinity in 1924.
He said last spring the Blue Valley
had sponsored the planting of % two
acre plots and that 23 of them were
very successful.
DIR. ]. F. Dubois was called on and
said that he was very much interested
in meetings of this kind but he be-
lieved that county fairs could be run
without so much foollShness. He
commended the suggestions made by
Mr.. Boerger and said that the busi-
ness and professional men should be
as vitally interested in the success of
the fair as were the farmers.
The setting of the dates for the
1925 fair were quite freely discussed.
The sentiment for late fair was al
most unanimous and a motion was
finally made and carried that the 1925
fair be held in the last week of the
month of September, the definite
dates and days to be selected by the
officers of the fair.
At this meeting it was intended to
elect officers for the coming year
but because of the lateness of the
hour this was postponed until later
meeting.

INSULARITY AND THE WORLD

England has been described as that
tight little isle" Forever, the peculiari-
ties of its geographical location, cut off
as it is from the rest of Europe, are adj
vanced for its insularity. but its wide
flung empire has corrected this, in part,
and made for interest in an international
point of view.
But America is even more cut off from
other nations than England, though on a
larger scale. Ocean to east of t; ocean
to west of it. An English speaking race
that differs not too radically from the
English speaking American to the north.
A turbulent gulf and an equally turbu-
lent nation of mixed Spanish and Indian
descent TO the south. race that the aver
age American either does not or does not

UNITY

Definite steps have been taken in Chi
cago, ILL.,. for the establishment of
station for broadcasting religious unity.
Bishop Thomas Nicholson of Chicago
has proposed a national, Protestant, non
scctarian broadcasting station to pro-
vide religious, ethical, and educational
matter OF high order, with no creedal
propaganda or requests for money to
support movements or the church. APP
proximately fifty thousand dollars may
be appropriated for this work.
Evidently, this is to offset the effects
of the controversy which has been rag
ing in the Protestant churches between
the modernists and the fundamentalists,
whom John Dewey, philosopher and psy-
biologist, maintains should be called
''literalists" instead. They cannot prove
their stand fundamental one except
by declaring that it is, he says, while
they cling to a literal Interpretation of
the Bible as the final truth. But how
ever that may be, the Methodist bishop
in Chicago wishes to emphasize unity
in the midst of dissension and strife.
Unity is an excellent quality and
much to be desired, but on the other
hand, the 50 called "war in the churches"
is not utterly to be dcplored. What
ever it may show, striving for spiritual
truth and distrust OF all dogma. Oh dis
loyalty. utter Haunting of the truth and
rank heresy, as individual opinion may
decide, at least it shows this. Religion
is not a dead issue. 1t is vital, alive,
significant. 1t is an active principle
in life.

AMERICA COMING OF AGE

For long time, America has been con-
sidered land for the very young. 1t
has been claimed that young men stand
the best chance, that the older ones are
pushed aside when they might be Of
most value. But recently published
article upon longevity in America took
exception to such sweeping conclusions.
1t was shown that the greatest men this
country has produced, great statesmen.
financiers, war generals, presidents, in
ventors, scientists. and writers have been
men advanced in age. Many OF them
lived to ninety years or more.
To thoughtful people, this is not sur-
Drising, but there was another angle
70 the article that was more significant
still. Attention was called to a recent
scenario contest with $1,000 authors com
peting in which the judges were vastly
surprised to discover that the average
age for all the heroines, and this in popu-
lar fiction, was twenty-eight years. That
age would have condemned any woman
to hopeless spinsterhood decade ago;
so the judges declared that this is too
general to be accidental, and represents
undoubtedly countrywide change in
ideals"
In the seventies, girl of sixteen or
seventeen was considered romantically
perfect. Youth was then the sole con-
sideration. But since that time, if one
may be allowed the expression, women
have become human beings. Activity
and experience in many fields, in indus
try, education, business, the professions
and all the arts, have enriched the gen:
era1 life of womankind and kept her
alive and young.
But she does not discount youth nor
does any one, for youth is a gift of the
gods ard one which the gods Withdraw.
Still, youth without experience is cal
low and raw. 1t lacks subtlety and poise.
While, on the other hand, experience
without youth is often bitter and final,
repressive and lacking a forward glance.
It is what one calls age.
Age may not be matter of wears or
wrinkles. In country. declared land
of the young, where the great men and
great women grow greater with age,
the active secret must be a youth in
age that keeps the country Young. Young
\once perhaps, actually, in all its ideals
and demands, it remains young with
advancing years in proportion to its de-
sire to probe life's mysteries, to work
and to live actively and well.

"vITALS FOR EXPORTATION."

The tendency on the part of some
of the moderns to look upon litera-
ture chiefly as means Of getting even
with relatives has been strikingly dra-
matized in a recent ~enlsode. That
school which tells the awful truth, the
whole of the awful truth and nothing
but the awful truth has fostered a
certain frarkness, the brutality of
which the reading public has ample
reason to know. The climax has been
reached in an incident involving a hus-
band and a wife both of whom are nov
elists. In a book called ''Don Juan"
the man retold experiences from life
which did not scrupulolIsly protect the
pride of HIS lady. She. rot lacking
the means of revenge, now plans to
publish a volume called Don Juan's
Wife which is obviously intended to
tell the same story from different
point of view. In this competitive
publicity. neither of the contestants
shows tendency to shrink from the
public gaze. 1t is simp.S further evil
ueHce tnaC MIX beerDO"m was right
when he described the mania of the
age as being expressed N a willing
ness to draw out ones ''vitals for
expectation"
Making literary capitsl of ones rel
atives is not new in he history of
letters. The poor taste Cf Dickens in
burlesquing his father in one novel and
his mother in another IS the classic
example of this sort of thing. Ever
that, however, is pardonable as COM
pared with the new indelicacy which
makes not the slightest effort to pro-
tect the original of the portrait but
rather advertises the Fact that the
drawing is from life. For noyciists
of the future who are looking for some
means of adding a more piGuant sem
sation to the sensatiOnalism of the
day the suggestion nigh. be made that
a glossary be appended to the volume
in which the real names and the adj
dresses Of those who figure in the
story might be found opposite the
names given them by the author. For
anyone so unfortunate as not to know
the whole of the preri1ls group APP
pearing in the novel this would be a
real boon.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.
