NANT AT BIG STATE MEET:
: ING; BOYS DRAFT SET OF
PRINCIPLES.


Armed with knowledge gained from,
discussions with boy leaders from
every section in Minnesota, and in

Minnesota Y. NJ G. A. older bows were
back in their homes Monday, pledged

we strive toward the common goal
when all nations will be brothers. and
that in accordance with this we send
delegate from this conference 70
represent Minnesota at the World
conference to be held next year at
Helsingfors, Finland.
We recommend that since the OBJ
jective of the church is to bring the
Kingdom of God on earth that older
boys should associate themselves with
it, to help and to be helped.
I'VE believe that Christian ideals
/ try should be conducted on the basis
try, that personality in industry
should be respected and that indus
try should be conducted on the basis
i of service instead of profit.
I'VE recommend to older bows the
Jesus way of life as the right way an |
that it be taken as the basis of our
own living.
1--WE recommend that in the use of
our leisure THE and in the choice of
our recreation and amusement we d.
only those things which will heir
ourselves and others develop a Christ
ian personality.
1--WE believe that the home is the
very foundation of American life, and
to be complete it must have reli.
gious basis.
THAT Young men and young w.
men should safeguard their future
home life by thorough knowledge and
understanding of each other.

Superstitions
INSTRUCTED CRESCENT
BY H. RIDING KING

TT is general superstition through.
= out Europe and the United States
that If you see the new moon through
trees or shrubbery you will have trou.
BILE all that month. In some parts OF
the country they have rhyme which
goes:
See the new moon through q glass
See sorrow while 1t lasts.
That is, you will have bad luck for q
month. The reason is easy enough to
see. The new moon, the crescent, is
the favorite form and symbol of the
Isoon-goddess; call her Isis, Artemis,
Diana or what you wifi. From the
mOon-goddess in her crescent form
emanate the benefcent Influences
which mean good luck and prosperity.
Now, If when you first see the new
moon in the sky. first hail the crescent
goddess in the monthly beginning of
her manifestation, there interposes be-
tween you and her the boughs of trees
or the branches of bushes, or the bar
rier of glass it is evidently a sign that
while that pQo4 lasts for that month.
In short-y0u are cut off from the
heneficent Influences Of the goddess
Consequently sorrow and bad luck.
This is the survival of very ancient
idea and in this connection it may be
well to quote the words of-Wiiliam
Wells Newell with regard to suryivals.
'sThe modern survival exhibits those
fundamental conceptions out Of which
grew the complicated rites and eIab-
crate mYthologies Of ancient religions.
.In this manner. as from height Of
observation. we are able to look back
beyond recorded history and to tracs

ADVERTISING THROUGH THE AIR.

Radio advertising may be called the medium
de luxe. By the side of the cost of it, the
juciest rates of the highest-priced printed
media, pale to comparative insgnifcance. And,
advertisers do not indulge in luxuries. If the
investment does not pay, the advertiser does
not invest. So, the continued temperance up
on the air of those who have resorted to it to
sell their wares, together with the constant
appearance of new customers, seems to settle
once for all the question as to whether it pays.
AS matter of fact we like it. 1t is an OBJ
trusion into an hour of recreation, if it at
tempts to bring anything but recreationcto US,
but the trusty, dials stand inexorably between
us and annoyance. At that, it is not so much
of an obtrusion as are the blatant, if artistic
objurgations concerning the immediate pur-
chase of various motor cars and toilet articles
we have to wade through like an unending
maze, trying to find the last end of thrilling
sentence in the midst of compelling romance
as now made up in the current magazines
While the frantic hunt is on, we earnestly
swear-that we will never buy burned thing
that stands between us and how Hortense came
out-but when we want shaving cream we take
what the druggist gives us without asking him
whether it was on that index expurgatorious
or not. We hear people talk with great en-
thusiasm about never buying anything the adj
vertsements of which despoil the landscape
And if they didn't the signs would disappear
But the signs are still there. And SO with the
air. Those to whom it is an affront--or who
think it is, will continue to buy the records
that work best on the photograph they own,
and the breakfast food we are accustomed to
will not be driven from our tables by radio
broadcast t ao
Quite another question is presented by what
the radio bug calls the hog hook-up. 1t is not
that it is advertising, but it is that the hunter
for new thrills has SO many avenues of ex-
ploration closed to him by the multiple broad
cast. 1t is no answer to say that be couldn't
possibly expect to find anything better. That
is not the point He doesn't want something
better--he just wants something different.
1t may be that this feature of the sudden devel-
opment of the radio into very largely, and i'm
portantly, an advertising medium will call for
some expert engineering before final adjust
ments are arrived at.

RECOGNITION OF RUSSIA.

Continued discussion of the recognition of
Russia by the United States is evidence that
there are interests which would be served by
such recognition. 1t is not apparent, and no
concrete statement has been made that we
have seen, just how this recognition would af-
feet the United States except commercially.
Though frequently referred to as dollar chas-
ers, principally by those who have large num-
Der of our dollars where it is becoming appar-
ent we will have to chase them if we ever get
them, this nation has oftener sacrificed dol
lars to principle than it has ever sacrificed prin-
cipe to dollars.
The financial phase of the recognition of Rus
STA is not one Of dollars; it is purely one of prin-
ciple. The present Russian regime took over
millions of dollars of property represented by
bonds and other obligations into which the
money of our citizens had gone in good faith.
Until there is Russian government willing to
assume these obligations and able to pay them,
there is nothing in the way of nation for US
to recognize.
The arguments advanced with great Wig
or and increasing persistence that we can
afford to sacrifice this fundamental principle
because other nations have, in order that we
may participate i'll the commercial advantages
which they have secured, do not make a very
compelling appeal. We are, and for many years
to come will be, the principal creditor nation
of the world. The more business they do the
more money they must have to do it with, and
there is but one place where they can get it.
We do not need Russia commercially-but
those who deal with her commercially need us
financially,

Daily Health Hint
ANoTHER GERM CARRIER.

Mrs. Mann related another story of
typhoid fever carrier.
A farmer in Wisconsin had typhoid
fever in 1864. He recovered, and
moved to Camden, N. j., where he set
up in the milk business.
In 1878 his daughter had typhoid.
In 1886 his son-in-law had typhoid.
In 1898 another daughter had it, and
in 1897 another daughter, and in 1908
and 1909 two hired hands had it.
Meanwhile Camden, N. j., became
notorious for its high rate of typhoid
fever, and three-quarters of the cases
were of persons using the farmers
milk.
Finally in 1909 some of the farmers
milk was sent to New York and caused
an epidemic of $50 cases.
This was enough, and too much. So
an investigation was started and the
man was found to be typhoid fever
carrier.
'"WelB did they stop the man from
selling milk?' Mr.. Mann asked when
his wife had completed her story 81
should think they would have been
doing some checking up long before
he invaded New York"

for at Madison-and evidently find.

for at Madison-and evidently find.
If the business of the Wisconsin corporations
were confined to Wisconsin, they could equalize
the burden by passing it on to the consumer
that is, SO far competition from states where
the producers are not SO taxation-ridden as
they are here, would permit. But a large part
of their business is in competition in their own
states with producers whose local governments
believe in fostering industry and who have no
undue tax burdens to pass on to the buyer.
The whole trouble with the Wisconsin taxa
ton system is that it rests upon the six-gun
principle of taking it from the fellow who has
it, whether it should come from him or not
And, having found it SO, easy to take it, the
sky's the limit on the amount to be taken.
The place to reform Wisconsin taxation is
in the amount collected, before valuable time
and effort is wasted on the detail of methods.
No good system can be devised for bad re-
suit. The economical administration of the
state, even under the present iniquitous sys-
tenn of spreading the tax, would be more toler-
able than the present spoliation system, even
under the fairest and most equitable spread of
the burden. 1t is the hogs with their feet in
the trough who spoil more food than they eat,
that raise the cost of pork.

NEW YORK.

1t cost 429 million dollars to run
the city of New York in 1928, accord
ing to Department of Commerce fig
ures just released.
This means about $72.Ss for each of
New York's six million citizens.
In 1922 the per capita cost was S67;
in 1917 it was SAL. The more we grow
the more it costs to keep the ma
chinery going.
You get more or less of line on
comparative costs of living in a big
city and living in the country from
the percapita tax levy for 1929 in New
York state New York City included)
This was $4,000.

Liberalism Is Needed.

The pending split in the British La
Dor party further illustrates the need
of keeping alive the almost extinct
Liberal party.
Macdonald and his associates are
being driven by their own radicals
into a practical position scarcely dis
tinguishable from Liberalism. Their
philosophic differences became academ-
ic.
It is much the same in America.
Reckless radicalism has driven Pro-
gressives largely into union with, but
not into agreement with, the Conser-
vatives.
They DO not belong permanently
there, and it is not best for the coun-
try that they stay there indefinitely.
We still need, if not Liberal party,
a liberal movement in one or both the
existing parties.
1t is the radicals who have, for the
moment, prevented this. In their pres
ent quarrels is perhaps the best hope
of its revival.

THE TAX BILL.

The lively political battle between factions
and parties at Madison over the pending tax
bill is of only incidental Importance to the peo-
pie. In the end they will pay-it is mere de-
tail, how they pay. The great question is that
however the tax,is spread, there is too much of
it. The fundamental dereliction at Madison is
that no intelligent effort is being made to re-
duce it.
the producing corporations of the state is not
the real question. 1t is not good politics, but
that we do not look for from Madison. 1t is
not sound economics but again Madison is not
where we look for that 1t is a makeshift,
which looks good to the man on the street and
therefore makes votes. That is what we look

Experts or PoIitics-whieh?

The two schools of farm policy have,
for the time being, apparently peu-
tralized each other into inaction, and
the farmer will be left, as usual, to
look out for which, in the
long run, and with much individual
tribulation and injustice, he always
manages to do.
One school wants to "pass a law
about it." and the other wants to
help the farmer to tools to do some
thing about it.
One would put the government back
into wartime artificial measures, of
purchase, guarantee, or political ex-
port bureau, with the result, inevitably,
Of encouraging reproduction in pre-
cisely the commodities of which we
have already surplus, leaving US to
import the things which might have
been raised in their place.
The other would help the farmer,
by organization, to solve his own mar
keting problem.
The second school has the experts

What's in a name, as the poet once
remarked? Surprisingly little, if you
take seriously some of the answers in
recent examination given goods al
the University of Chicago.
Benito Mussolini, for instance, was
described as an "Irish radical" and
"Bolshevik agitator." Feodor Chali-
apin, the Russian opera singer, was
can impersonator of Charlie Chaplin"
Charles Eliot, president emeritus of
Harvard, was column conductor for
local newspaper" Knute Rockne,
Notre Dame football coach, was de-
scribed as Scandinavian author
and as Norwegian jockey"

stated that more than 70 per cent of

have been rather notifying to the

tor, DR.. Eliot. One feels they had
right to expect every college student

1t seems only a little while ago when
the first young men who had not serv-
ed in the Civil War began to come to
Congress.
They were invaders of the rule that
all officers, elective and appointive,
must go to the veterans, and were the
harbingers of a new generation.
Now the last of the veterans, Cen
eral Isaac Sherwood, says his valedic-
tory, and the Civil War disappears
from the public life of the nation.
1t is the end of an age, which be-
gan in heroism, exaltation and graft,
descended into sordidness, intolerance
and barrenness of soul, expanded into
great material progress, and culmi-
mated, morally and politically, in the
Roosevelt era.
Then came let-down, partial recov-
cry, the exaltation of the great war
and the spiritual collapse that follow
ed-and the last of the veterans sur
vived only to see the first and most
discouraging stages of the long cycle
through which his own generation had
also gone.
Perhaps, having lived through it
once, he is equipped to look with more
charity than the rest of US on its cy-
clio repetition.
