PASSIVE SUPPORT USELESS.

The Fairmont Sentinel has suggest
ed that Charley Babcock be crowned
governor ten years hence. The St.
Cloud Journal-Press states: "What
would suit Charley even better than to
be president is to have Minnesota
legislature with sense enough to give
him chance to serve the people with
greater efficiency, give them smooth
and permanent roads and save them
money" That is more to the point.
If the state Of Minnesota is really in
terested in the construction and MAIN
tenace of a fairly complete system
Of good roads, let it's voters elect rep
resentatives to the legislature who are
also interested in that subject. Men
who have but a passive interest in
good roads are Of but little use in
showing any progressive program.
The only progress that has ever been
made in road construction in this
state is due to the efforts of real

You will find, if you analyze your
SELF, that you take a deep interest
in very few people yourself.
Mind and dispositions differ as
widely as do human countenances.
Two minds that can think alike are

And only minds that think as your

What Is a Friend.

Whenever you hear a man boast
ing about the number of friends he
has-take his statement with a
grain of salt.
Make an inventory of your own
friends or those you think are real
ly friends. How many of them will
stand up to specifications?
What are the specifications, the
real tests of true friendship?
Not necessarily the standard of
friendships established by Damon and
Pythias and other classical exam
Piles of unselfish amicablity; but
just the ordinary, enduring garden
variety of friendship, something that
is more precious than diamonds.
A Duluth gentleman, w. E. Nc
Even, recently wrote out formula
for ascertaining how many true
friends anyone has. Want to try it
out on yourself? Here it is:
Sit down with pencil and paper
someday and count your friends.
When you have counted them,
classify them.
Put in one class those whose COM
pany you enjoy, and with whom you
like to spend play hours.
Then subtract those Of this class
to whom you would hesitate to go if
you were in trouble.
When you have that subtract again
those of whose help and kindly sym
pathy you would be absolutely sure
if you were in difficulties-the peo-
pie who would really put themselves
to serious inconvenience to help you
You will find that the number re-

10 names you will be lucky.

The Last Match Missed.

One day there was traveller in
the woods OF California, in the dry
season, when the trades were blowing
strong. He had ridden a long way,
and he was tired and hungry, and
dismounted from his horse to smoke
pipe. But when he felt in his pock-
Ell, he found but two matches. He
struck the first, and it would not
light.
Here is pretty state of things"
said the traveller dying for smoke;
only one match left; and that certain
to miss fire! Was there ever
creature SO unfortunate? And yet"
thought the traveller, suppose light
this match, and smoke my pipe, and
grass-the grass might catch on fire,
for it is dry like finder; and while
snatch out the flames in front, they
might evade and run behind me, and
seize upon yon bush OF poison oak;
before l could reach it, that would
have blazed up! over the bush / see
pine tree hung with moss; that too
would fly in fire upon the instant
to its topmost bough, and the flame
OF that long torch-hoW would the
trade wind take and brandish that
through the inflammable forest; /
hear this dell roar in moment with
the joint voice of wind and fire,
see myself gallop for my soul. and
the flying conflagration chase and out
flank me through the hills; l see this
pleasant forest burn for days, and
the cattle roasted, and the springs
dried up and the farmer ruined and
his children cast upon the world.
What world hangs upon this mo-
ment!"
With that he struck the match, and
it missed fire. THANK Cod" said the
traveller, and put his pipe in his
pocket.-Robert Louis Stevenson.

The Campers Return.

The Hi-Y Club and Donald Colds
Sunday School class returned last
week from Bigstone Lake after a
pleasant weeks outing. Those MAX
ing the trip were Lloyd White, Ed
win Wallin, Herbert Whittet, Leland
Laidlaw, Floyd Lewis, Gerald Haw-
ton and Thomas Dennistoun Of the Hi
Y Club and Victor Brewster, Jack
Parsons, Donald Peterson, Gordon
Bravinder, Leroy and Elmer Wood
ford, Carlyle Jaehning, Willard and
Willis Starr and John Krieger of the
Sunday School Class. The party
was chaperoned by W. H. Gold, D.
w. Gold and A. F. Dahlberg and the
outing was enjoyed at the J. A. Gold
Lakeside home.
The fishing in Bigstone Lake is ex-
cellent with silver bass and crappies
in abundance and besides the fishing
the messy sand bottom Of the lake
makes it excellent for bathing.
The daily program started at $3.50
A. M. and closed at $3.50 F. M. A
large bell announced each period Of
the program and campfire was the
wind-up OF the day. Wood was
gathered and the fire built on the
beach. At this time songs were sung
and everyone listened to the editor,
Tom Dennistoun proclaim the events
of the day in "The Evening Whang-
Doodle" Short talks were given each
evening by the leaders and at $3.50
everyone returned to quarters.
The boys all have reported won
derful time and that the time was
only too short; they are looking for
ward to next years camp. A fine
camp spirit was displayed and every
one returned feeling that he had gain
ed something worthwhile to add to
his makeup besides merely rest and
an enjoyable outing.-Contributed.

fighters who were pushing the issue.
Good roads leading to the market
towns are one Of the greatest bless
ings Of this day to the farmers. They
are just as essential to the welfare Of
a community as are churches and
schools. There is no one institution
in the whole state that gives the
average citizens and his family more
benefit and more pleasure than do the
well kept roads.
Providing e man is reasonably hon
est and has a fair degree OF intelli-
gence, one Of the highest qualifica-
lions he can have for seat in the
Minnesota legislature is an actual in
terest in the road building program
and 4 willingness to get up and fight
for it when the occasion arises.
The good roads advocates had far
better spend their energies on the
legislative material before the cleo
ton than after it. Public hearings
and literature of all forms is but of
little avail with g group of men who
have only a passive interest in the
subject: It would take more than
an earthquake to jar them into ac-
tion.-Princeton Union.

If you are a person of middle age,
think twice before you pull up stakes
and depart from the old home to make
new home in some other part of
the country, no matter how alluring
that new section may appear to you.
Moving means the making of new
friends, and that is not an easy thing
to do. 1t means starting out in life
all over again, and neither is that
an easy thing to do. This advice
doesn't cost you nickel, but it may
save you lot of money.-Fred Had

The friends of Frank B. Kellogg
during these days are having little
real enjoyment that completely offsets
the chagrin and modification that
they experienced in 1922. 1t seemed
incredible that the voters of this state
would actually reject a man Of Kel-
logg's calibre for Henrik Shipstead.
But that is all ancient history now,
and Minnesota is having the satisfac-
ton Of seeing one of her most
brilliant sons in high position where
he can make good use of his talents.
The voters of Minnesota foolishly re-
fused him second term in the United
States senate, but the good deed they
had done in sending him there in 1916
bore fruit. The chief executives of
this nation recognized his ability and
they felt that this country should have
the benefit of the service of such a
man.-Grace A. Dunn.

DISCOVERED by Accident

Sheffield plate was discovered by
accident in 1742 by Thomas Bolsover,
a Sheffield mechanic.
He was repairing the handle of a
pocket-knife composed partly of sill
yer and partly of copper, says Good
Hardware, and in making his repairs
accidentally fused the two metals. He
at once conceived the idea Of uniting
these two metals and used this as a
substitute for making articles which
hietherto had been made of sterling
silver only.
He seems to have specialized in
making small articles such as buckles,
buttons, snuff boxes and match boxes,
some of which were only half an inch
in diameter. He did not appreciate
how important his discovery was and
consequently did not reap the full re-
suits from his remarkable invention.

Showers of Stars

Great showers Of meteors or shoot
ing stars have occurred on number
of dates. One Of the most brilliant
was that of November 70 and ID, 1888.
On this occasion it was estimated that
stars to the number of 100000 fell in
the space Of nine hours, all from the
same part of the heavens. Another
great shower, though less intense, was
observed in November of the following
year. On November 13 and IA, 1866,
there were other abundant meteoric
showers, meteors falling at the rate of
about $500 an hour. Observers have
noted that these brilliant displays have
occurred at intervals of about one
third of century, the explanation be-
ing that a great cloud or distended
stream Of meteors revolyes around the
sun in that period, and that one por-
ton Of the elliptical orbit intersects
that of the earth.
