LETTER FROM SYDNEY CARLE-
TON TO PAULA PERRlER
CONTINUED.

Are you afraid to marry, Paula :?
Or are you bound down by one Of
those mid Victorian compleXes that
makes you feel you are not worthy
to marry any man? For heavens
sake. if you have this sort Of an OBJ
session. snap out Of it as soon as
possible.
| have said many times that any
woman is good enough for any man,
and certainly. Paula. if I had not
been in love with some other woman
most of my life. am sure | would
have fallen in love with you and con-
sidercd it a great honor if you would
have accepted me.
There! There's almost declara-
ton for you. 1t is the first time I
have ever been so foolish as to make
it, but know, my dear girl. it is as
safe with you as though l had kept
it in my heart which has been aching
with its burden lately.
Write me what you decide upon
doing. for | am quite curious to
hear: and remember that I am al
ways your friend and as such will
stand bv you in whatever decision
you make.
BY the way. Paula. when is Mr.
Atherton coming back? think Jack
needs her very much. She keeps all
the minor annoyances Of his business
away from him. and besides she is
some one for him to talk to.
Isn't it strange that man will
talk to some woman and tell her
secrets that he would not tell to an
other woman that he might love
more?
Mrs. Athcrton is a most peculiar
woman and | think she is a splendid
antidote for Jacks egotism.

The people have more sense than
the politician thinks. Consider the
position of President Coolidge, at
the end Of his second year as prcsi-
dent. Harding, with his curious
two sided mind, had appointed
Hughes, Hoover and Mellon, to pla-
cate the idealists. But we must be
practical, and elections, after all.
are won by votes and business sup
port. So he also appointed Daugh-
erty, to suit the practical politicians:
and Fall, to satisfy the practical
business men. Thus practical vote
getting was to be combined with
ideal purpose.
The result was that it was pre-
cisely these idealists who supplied
the only practical vote-getting ca
pacity that the administration had
left The vote-getters, by them
selves, would have lost all the votes
there were.
Then came Coolidge. Whatever
difference of opinion there may be
as to the qualities Coolidge possesses
there is no dispute as to those he
lacks. These include everything
that the politicians think necessary
to win in their game Of bluff. By
their standard he is below zero. And
yet he has the confidence Of the
people as no other man Of our time
has it.
Even if there are cynics who
think that he has gained this conf
dence by making the people think
that under his undramatic exterior
there are qualities which really do
not exist, they will concede that his
lack Of the bluffing qualities have
helped, not hindered him in thus
impressing the people.
The people at least want the
things which they think Coolidge
has. And these are the genuine, not
the SNOWY things Of life. Except the
few cynics. we all agree that the
pres dent has them.

The same morning that Colonel

under his door in Dixie Land, Pouch

a big yawn and rolled out of bed.
What did he see before his aston

note that Colonel 'Possum had re-
ceived. A little piece of white birch
bark with message written on it.
"Hey no! What's this?" cried
Poucher Pelican holding up the note
with one foot while he tried to keep
his balance with the other.
Then he read: "Dear Sir: If you
see a round, shiny, white thing
around here anywhere, will you
please bring it to Will o. the Wisp's
house, Dixie Land. Reward"
SWELL, we'll, well!" said Poucher
in pleased voice. "A reward! I

The Two-Dollar Bill
(Grand Forks HeraldN


1t seems strange that in this age superstition
should play any part in such practical and pro
sale thing the circulation of currency, but it
appears that superstition of the siiliest kind is
responsible for the non-circulation Of two-dollar
bills. We are told that for this or that reason
the two-dollar bill is considered unlucky by very
many people. and that therefore there is no d..
mand for the circulation Of these bills The larger
bill is convenient way of breaking the jump from,
one dollar to five dollars and if these bills were in
general circulation there would be material saw
ing in the wear and tear the smaller bills, Of
which the treasury department complains. Speak
ing quite informally and extenlporaneously we
should say that two-dollar bill is Just twice as
desirable as one-dollar bill and that the theories
Of bad luck which are attached to 1t are all bunk.

BY DIR. II. S. CUMMING
Surgeon General, United States
Public Health Department

Prevention of hay fever by the
eradication of weeds that produce
the noxious pollens is more COM
plicated problem in the Pacific and
Rocky Mountain states than it is in
the eastern states.
This is due to the fact that the
fall hay fever is caused by the pollen
of a larger number Of plants. 1t has
already been pointed out that in the
east as rule the most prolonged
and most severe cases of spring hay
fever are caused by timothy pollen.
Timothy is, of course. a valuable
grass and while it stands in some
what the same relation to spring
hay fever as rag weed does to the
fall type of hay fever, it is doubtful
if it is possible or desirable to pro-
hibit the growing of timothy hay. It
is estimated that east of the state of
Kansas between 80 per cent and 80
per cent of fall hay fever is due to
the common rag weed. The rag
weed is in very different class from
timothy. So far as is known, rag
weed serves no useful purpose. 1t
and many other weeds which we
have mentioned should be extermi-
mated.
Many grasses have pollen of con-
siderable size and their pollen is not
carried to a great distance. On this
account, when cities have endeav-
ored to control early hay fever
caused by these grasses their efforts
have been attended with considerable
success.
At the other extreme, however, is
the pollen Of the rag weed, whose
buoyancy is so great that wind
velocity of twenty miles or more
will carry it several miles. The edu-
cation of the public in the noxious-
ness of these weeds from hay
fever standpoint is of the greatest
Importance. When this has been &C.
complished suitable legislation will
be enacted.
There are many people, sufferers
from hay fever, who do not realize
that common weeds are the cause of
their suffering. There are many
other people who allow weeds in
their back yards and vacant lots or
along their roadsides to go uncut be.
cause they likewise do not under
stand that by allowing these weeds
to grow unchecked they are bringing
suffering to many persons who may
be living even at distances consider.

Pittsburg that Jack seemed little
edgy--in fact, for minute l was
afraid he was going to be jealous Of
Leslie and Melville Sartoris. OF
course Sartoris is crazy about Leslie,
but to be jealous of a woman who
has shown her love for him in as
many ways as Leslie has, is absurd.

no misunderstanding in this world ?
If those we love could only see our
hearts just as they are and not
through eyes that are filled with the
smoke of foolish prejudices and jeal-

would be!
You see ! am moralizing more than
usual because | have seen death so

In titled land the most effective

Where this is not practicable,
weeds may be kept down by grazing

should be destroyed or cut before
they reach the pollen stage as this

If these methods are carried out
for few years the results will, it is
believed. justify both the cost and
the energy expended, at least in
many localities.
The most important hay fever
weeds, however, such as the rag
weeds have not been specified in
most of these laws because it has
been only recently that their noxious
character from health standpoint
has been recognized. Many of the
less active hay fever weeds are men
toned, however. particularly the yell

A number of cities have taken up
the matter of preventing hay fever
by the eradication Of noxious weeds
and have passed municipal ordi-
nances which have been helpful.
Health is one of mans most valu
able assets and every person has
right to ask that his health shall not
suffer because of carelessness or

grow on neglected premises, vacant

had mentioned.
"My, but I'm hungry" he re-
marked. "Tm very, very hungry! l
think I'll have my breakfast first"
So he padded himself out a little
distance on the water.
In about two minutes he had
caught and swallowed three fat
mackerel, fins, scales and all.
"Now I feel much better" he said
as he waddled ashore. He walked
along the sand, keeping his eyes
open for bit of brown looking
weedy stuff that was usually a sign
that clam lay hiding beneath.
At last he found it, and dug down
with his bill. There lay nice
round clam shell in the hole.
I'D like to have the clam inside"
said Poucher Pelican, "but l can't
break the she'll like the gulls do, by
dropping them down on stone.
I'll just tuck it away in my bill and
take it to Will O. the Wisp's house.
Maybe I'll get the reward"
The next thing Poucher Pelican
saw was scallop shell. "Ill take
'hIs aiong, ne Sald, and tucked IT
away, too.
After that he found all sorts of
lovely round shells. And he kept
tucking them away in his chin sack
until he had about dozen.
That's enough" he said II ought
to get lot Of rewards"
And off he waddled to the pond
where Will o the Wisp lived.
The Twins heard him coming and
opened the loor.

out all the shells. where is the

It's Well That Age
Cufs Our Resistance

There is no conservative so dan
gerous as the man who knows all
about it. Railroad men were the
chief opponents Of the Interstate
Commerce law and bankers the prin
cipal sceptics on the Federal Reserve
act. New methods of fighting had
to be introduced into the World
War literally over the dead bodies
Of generals who died for their UNI
beliefs.
The reform Of the law is obstruct-
ed mainly by lawyers. The medical
profession. while hospitable to new
discoveries in treatment. is violent
ly hostile to undermining the bust
ness aspect of medical practice. And
the clergy include the chief OBJ
structors to introducing the church
to life.
Doubtless it is a good thing that
as we grow old. we finally grow also
too decrepit for resistance. Other
wise the world could not move at all.

American membership in the court
without even the Hughes Harding
reservations. provided the other ad-

1t is all quibbling over buga-

necessary to satisfy senatorial hys-

in the statute of the court now to
involve America in the league; if

abundantly disavow it, and the Pep

New York's first high class apart

humans. The humans could move,
