The Boston public schools had the pupils
write essays on the topic "The Greatest Woman
in History" The essay that given first
prize, began with this paragraph:
'The greatest woman of history is the wife
of a man of moderate means, who does her own
cooking, washing, ironing, sewing, and who brings
up a family of boys and girls to be useful men,
bers of society, and finds time for Intellectual
Improvement This woman is well known. She
lives in many communities, and in the hearts of
many sons and daughters who had their chance
in life through her efforts and guidance"

St. Louis County, has sold to farmers thirty
thousand young evergreen trees, grown at the
Cloquet forestry station, these selling at the rate
of two cents apiece. Up north they sense more
than we of the southern section ever can what de-
forestation means-and they out to correct
in the future the mistakes made in the past.
These trees are very tiny and they mean years
of care and attention by the farmers interested
enough to set them out. And they are worth it.
Let US imagine, if we doubt whether they are
worth it, what forest of thirty thousand ever
greens will look like ten years from now!

The Hennepin County Review, published at
Hopkins, is asking for letters from people who
will have to travel a considerable distance to
register vote in the June primaries in that
County. 1t would be just as interesting in Red
wood County as in Hennepin, and the Gazette in
vites similar correspondence. Its funny
thing-but at every election word comes OF peo-
Pile who go miles in some rural district for the
sake of exercising their right of American cit
and yet have 'em right here in town
who won't walk as many blocks. Amt humans
HUMAN!
"This," said the able citizen as he looked over
the columns of his home paper, "is what l call
spicy sheet; it seems to be absolutely fearless,
and whenever it sees the head of a wrong doer,
it gives that head crack. Such paper illus
trates the true mission of Journasm-lt is to

Dorothy Dix says:
Many girls are IN hurry TO marry
because they are lazy and self-indulgent.
They don't want to earn their own bread
and butter They want husband for
meal ticket. They don't want to punch
the time clock in the morning. They
| prefer to lie abed and snooze along un-
| til noon. They don't want job in which
they will have to be efficient They
want one on which they can loaf and
from which they cannot be fired"
! And the difference between what the dear
girls want and what they actually get constitutes
the Universe's grimest jokes.
