'Tell him I'll be delighted" he
said.

MARTEN EXTINCT

Although the marten is not protect
ed by the Minnesota laws relating
to wild animals, the species has be-
ONE so scarce in Minnesota that the
need for such protection probably
will be urged during the coming SEES
sion of the legislature.
Replying to a letter of inquiry from
the Bureau of Biological Survey
Thaddeus Surber, biologist and sup
erintendent of fish propagation, Game
and Fish department, said it is posi-
BILE the marten still exists in the
northern tier of counties, but there
is no record of any having been TAX
en- in recent years.
In the spring Of 1917, DR.. Surber
attempted to take one alive, which
he found freed at Wolf Lake, IL miles
east of Bemidji, but it escaped. That,
he said, is the last authentic record
of one having been observed. If the
species still exist in Minnesota, it is
extremely rare, he said, and should
be protected.
w. C. Henderson, acting chief Of
the Bureau of Biological Survey
agreed that the animal is almost ex-
tinct, and recommended protection
under the Minnesota laws.

Two Villages to
Have Electric Service

With the march of progress the
smaller communities are taking adj
vantage of the opportunities offered
to secure electrical energy for light
ing and power purposes. Not only
are the smaller urban communities
arranging for electricity, but num-
Der of rural districts have already
hooked up with high lines and farmers
are enjoying the convenience Of cleo
tricity. The movement is just in its
infancy, and with coming years, it is
certain that not only the smaller
villages, but the rural districts, as
well, will enjoy the convenience of
electricity.
The residents of Golden and Evan,
small villages in Brown county, will
soon press button and enjoy the con-
venience of light and power. The
contract has been let to the Donovan
Construction Co. for the erection of
4 distribution system and line to
Sleepy Eye to convey current to the
village of Golden.
At the recent election the residents
of Evan voted $4,000 bonds for the
purpose of defraying the expense of
erecting an electric distribution sys-
tenn. The vote was 48 to and the
bonds bear IA per cent interest.
1t is understood that it is the plan
of the Evan city council to interest
the Northern States Power Co. and
that an extension will be erected from
Morgan to Evan.
A number of farmers east of Nor
gan are interested in securing electri-
cal energy, and if the line to Evan is
constructed, this will give them an
opportunity.
The Evan system, if built, will be
similar to the Clements extension now
under construction, from Morgan.
The village of Clements and farmers
along the route, are to be supplied

in detail, which its readers desire, and
when its editorial comment on the
news is intelligent and as fair as
newspaper comment can be under the
handicaps of haste and restricted
space. But the real value Of Ameri-
can journalism to America is that
its advertising columns are on the
whole as clean and free and fair az
its news columns. 1t stimulates the
desire for honest people.
1t whets the appetite of the average
reader by showing him day after day
and year after year what useful and
lovely things he can buy with MS
what profitable savings he
can make in his income, how he can
get ahead materially or spiritually
by patronizing the advertisers in its
columns. Books, food, music, fur
niture, houses, clothing, cults, creeds,
investments, all are displayed in the
vast bazaar that is the American
through which as the year
rolls around the millions pass in re-
view.
The changes that come out of the
advertising columns of the American
where decent goods are
truthfully advertised, are dynamic
changes. Every year, the old world is
torn up and new world established,
not by the news, not by the editor
ials, but by the advertising columns of
the American newspapers.

The work of this department is
composed chiefly in giving legal ad-
vice to the persons who are wards of
the United Charities, and in being
general counselor for the officers of
the Charities. There is case work
er and juvenile court assistant in the
office, who work under the super

came very suddenly, with a request
that she start, if possible, on Decem-
Der LIST.
Miss Sphinx is well qualified for the
position. She was graduated with
honors from the College of Education
of the University of Minnesota in
1923, after studying for two years at
Hamline and two at the University,
and took her degree in law from the
University Law School in 1925. While
in college and the university she was
on the staff of the Hamline Review
and contributed to the magazine, a
member of Kappa Beta Pi law soror-
ity, a member of the executive COM
mittee and a contributor to the Min
nesota Quarterly, member of Delts
Phi Lambda, honorary sorority fol-
distinguished work in creative writ
ing, and for a short. time student
assistant in the English department
of the University.
Miss Sphinx passed the examina-
tions for admittance to the bar and
was admitted to practice shortly be-
fore she came to Franklin, in Septem
Der, 1925. She was associated with
John A. Dalzell until his illness fore
ed him to withdraw from active work,
and after that time engaged in the
practice of law Independently.
She has been active in political
and organization work for the past
few months, both in the cities and in
Renville county, acting as Vice-chair-
man of the Renville County Republl-
can Committee and the Republican
Congressional Committee. She was
recently appointed Chairwoman of the
Legislative Committee of the Seventh
District Federated Clubs.-Franklin

THE ADVERTISING COLUMNS

The American newspaper is be-
ginning to function socially and POI
ticaiy more through its economic
phases than through the formal So
cial and political side. Put in plain
language, that means this, claims
The Emporia Gazette. The adver-
Using columns of a newspaper affect
The American people more directly
and powerfully than the news col
INNS and editorials of the American
newspaper. Through the advertis-
ing columns the standard of living
in America is raised every year.
The newspaper is an Archimedean
lever which is lifting the living stand
ards in America higher than any
other living standard in the world.
Delete advertising in America and an
economic and social revolution would
occur. People, no longer stimulated
by advertising to desire material
goods, would stop buying and the jolt
to American business would precipi-
tate political reaction that might be
catastrophe.
1t makes little difference what the
newspapers preach in their editorial
columns about the distribution of
wealth. 1t makes no vast difference
how they policy the news; so long as
the advertising columns create an in
satiable hunger on the part of their
readers for better things than their
fathers had or than even the readers
themselves had the day before the pa
per was printed.
Any newspaper is a civilizing in
fluence even when it prints the news
