THE historian, Seeley, once re-
marked:
when hear a man say, His
tory teaches u.s. / say to myself,
That man is going to tell lie
and he always does"
The truth is history doesn't
teach.
History is like a lake or a land
scape. There it is. You look at
it. If you get a lesson from it, it
is the result Of your own reaction
to it. There are no cut and dried
deductions apparent, no absolute
lesson ending in a final 20. Z. D.
History is a panorama, not a
philosophy"
Two men looking at this same
panorama Of events deduce there
from entirely opposite lessons.
One man looks and declares the
lesson Of history is to prepare for
war in order 10 have peace.
Another man looking at the very
same things points out that the
lesson is that building up arma-
ments ends in destruction.
In the sixteenth century, Ma
chiavelli looked at history and de-
clared in his Prince" that it
clearly taught the lesson that
princes should be all-powcrful and
that failure is the objectionable
sin Of a ruler, and 10 gain his
ends he may resort to any means.
Accepting grccdiIy this lesson as
the true Interpretation, there came
the bloody Borgias, Catherine de
Medici, Henry VIII and the blood
and iron" Bismar@L

broaden a man.
humble: Yes, and aesp she
broadens him she leaves him fiat.
Mutter: Still, it wouldn't hurt
your boy to go back to college for
another term, you want him TO get
a diploma, don't you.
humble No.
Mutter: Why not?
humble: We have no parlor for
him to hang it in.
Mutter: Then he could tack it
up in the dining room.
humble I'm afraid his mother
would object. Ny wife is against
Shcep-skins.
Mutter: Why is that7
humble: Because she's a vege-

Mutter: Your son should have
something for his pains, shouldn't
he?
humble: Sure. I'll buy him a
bottle of arnica.
Mutter: Well he wants some
thing to hang up.
humble: He's got something
Mutter: What is 1T
humble: A hat.
Mutter: Hanging up hat doesn't
signify that he's got an education.
humble: You're crazy, II shows
that he's learned enough to take
it off in the house.
Mutter: Then you don't think
you'll let your son pursue his
studies another term?
humble: No. He's been pursuing
them for three years and hasn't
caught up with them yet.
Mutter: Well. I'm certainly going
to educate my children. The day 1
was born my father made up his
mind that when 1 grew up I'd know
something.
humble: That's too bad.
Mutter: What's too bad?
humble: That you had to change
his mind.

DRIVE FOR FUNDS
BY LEGION BEGUN
DISABLED VETERANS AND OR,
PHANS OF VETERANS GREAT
EST SUFFERERS.

minnesota is ready to hear the
appeal of The American Legion FOL
the two great classes of sufferers OF
the World War-the disabled men
and the orphans of fallen veterans, :
declared Edwin Lindell, commander
of the Minnesota department OF the
Legion.
The American Legion campaign
for a 100000 Endowment Fund
for rehabilitation and child welfare.
which has been going on in several
states, is now under way in Mime
sofa. II will eliminate in an inten-
sive drive probably about the last
of May. -.
.sThe American Legion wants the
American public to have the oppor-
tunity of helping the Legion help the
disabled veterans and the children OF
men who rave up their lives as a re,
suit of their service TO the country,
Commai der Lindell said. "Rehabll-
station and child welfare are the two
greatest postwar problems. They
are SO closely related that they are
almost one. What disabled father
has not looked down upon the faces
of dependent children with terror
lest they suffer the pangs OF prava-
ton which his restoration to health
alone can prevent? Does not ms
mental anguish over the fate OF lit
tie children erect material bar to
his own reconstruction!
"There are $4,000 war orphans,
and many times more sick, alhng
and disabled ex-service men whose
lives the war blighted. We can not
do too much for them-our debt can
never be fully repaid. The Amerl-
can Legion has assumed the obliga-
ton of seeing that these two conse-
ouences of the war receive full
measure of justice, but we need the
pubic's assistanc to the limit.
Everywhere the e n % w m n t
movement has spread, it has met
with a hearty reception. l know 1t
will meet with that same response In
Minnesota"
President Coolidge is chairman II
the national honorary committee for
the endowment fund and all mem
bers of his cabinet have endorsed it.
Leading men and women of the
country in all lines of endeavor are
members Of the national endowment
fund committee.
Already the work of organizing
state and local endowment fund Cum
mittees has been begun. These
committees win contain the names
and members of the Legion and LIE.

Review of Swimming Season.

Although the local high school
tank team failed to win a dual meet
they pushed their opponents hard
and laid the foundation for strong
team next year. Considering the
fact that this is the first year Of the
sport here the boys and Coach Her
seth should be congratulate ! All
of Ely's opponents were experienced
and had received training for num-
erous years.
Eveleth, last years state cham
pions. won the first meet by a COM
Portable margin as was expected but
Ely gave promise of better things.
The next meet with Eveleth was
also lost. Jenko won first place in
the plunging and Thompson second
in the backstroke. Gilbert narrow
ly escaped a beating 371a to 3Oh.
Nappa won first in the dives, and
Jenko, Thompson and Hokkanen al
so were leaders in their events. In
the meet against Chisholm the score
see-sawed until the last two events,
which Chisholm won. Virginia, this
years champions, had the best we'll
balanced team on the range and had
little difficulty in capturing two dual
meets from the inexperienced locals.
Gilbert, Chisholm and n;wabik de-
feated Ely in the fir contests but
Nappa; Hokkanen, Thompson and
Paappanen. all came through with
first places. The four entered the
state meet at Minneapolis. Here
Nappa placed eighth among nine
teen divers and Thompson was elm
mated through faulty judging after
he had apparently qualified for the
finals.
OF this years squad only Graves,
breaststroker, viii graduate SO
with better material to work with
Herseth will probably place a win
ming team in the pool next year
It is not often that schools are able
to win any meets in their initial
years of competition.
w. Nappa led the point scores
with SO points, Hokkanen followed
with 29h, Thompson had 81 and
Paapancn 17k These four viii
