The cause of the accident is UNI
known. The most plausible explain
alton seems to be that the heavy pole
was loosed at the base by the wind and
worked its way through the age-weak-
ened timbers which formed its sup
port. 1t has not been used as flag
pole for more than ten years.
The board of education met Tues
day evening and decided to close the
building until its structural safety has
been investigated and vouched for by
a competent engineer. The building
appeared to be perfectly sound and
ought to be serviceable for another
thirty years with minor repairs; but
the members of the board prefer to
make sure of this before the building
is again taken into use in the belief
that the public will be better pleased
knowing that every possible precau-
ton has been taken to insure the chill

has been sent here by the state in

''HOPE LIES WITH YOUTH"

~ RESIDENT Lotus D. Coffman, of the
University of Minnesota, has made an in
tensive study, great educator, of the
ends, aims and purposes of true education. This
study has had many results and brought many
conclusions of which one of the most valuable
is President Coffman's decision that the saliva
ton of the world lies with its youth and con-
sequently all the resources Of education, princi-
pally church, home and school, must unite to
fit youth for it's high purposes.
In public address upon one occasion Presi-
dent Coffman said
81 appreciate the fact that the prob
lem of training the present generation in
righteousness and in higher regard for
social and civic obligations is accentu-
ated enormously by the failure of the old
er generation to exemplify these quail
tiles. But if hope lies anywhere it lies
with youth; if opportunity is to be found
+, anywhere it is to be found through the
process of education. The lessons which
we need to teach and to learn today are
not the lessons of individualism, but the
lessons of learning to live together with
our neighbors. This means more self
sacrifice and less self-expression 1t
means new emphasis IN education. If
our education in self-expression had pro-
duced great leaders or great art or
great literature, it might even be con-
doned, but apparently it has done none of
these.
"Now come to the conclusion of the
whole matter Learning alone is not the
object of the university education. More
recently has come deep sense Of re-

There were various objections to these laws

"In some sections of the state,
pheasants have become so numerous as
to be declared a nuisance. Though they
are plentiful here, they are not present in
such numbers as to justify an open sea-
son this year. In fact, if the season it
not closed by executive order, there is
grave danger of their determination.
Moreover, other game birds here are sure
to suffer through an open pheasant sea-
son. Hugarian cartridges have been
planted in the county at considerable ex-
pense and for the first time in many
years coveys of quail have been seen.
If all of these birds are protected for an
other two years, we may approach
somewhat the wild life that lived here
years ago. If pheasants are permitted
to be killed here this fall, with the result
ing dangers to partridges and quail, We
shall probably have to start all over
again"

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING

newspaper advertising is of vital Importance to eveyy
ma Or woman who spends money for the necessities OF luxuries
Il h1e. by making a daily practice of reading the newsnanar
aoVertsments, you keep in close touch with the latest offerings
and lowest prices.
well advertised brands of merchandise m NOT only demand
able In quality, but are also, as a rule, the most economical
Here is a very concrete case of why this is true:
MIR. Warren Wright, President of the Calumet Baking Pow
DER CO., is the authority for the statement that they spend
millions of dollars in newspaper advertising. This tremendous
volume II advertising creates a gigantic demand for Calumet
AS demand grows, manufacturing costs are reduced and the price
OF Calumet, to the user, is brought down to the low point
of economy.
Calumet advertising, like all other advertising back of a
merltorlous product, goes on record in black and white as to
the value of Calumet Baking Powder. 1t promises the housewife
better bakings a lower baking costs and the Calumet Company
must live up to their printed pledge.
Newspaper advertising is localized advertising. Consequently
1t benefits the dealer as well as the consumer, because it
reaches buyers who can transact business with him. 1t moves
the goods from his shelves. 1t keeps his stock fresh and clean.
1t enables him to sell the highest quality merchandise at the
lowest possible prices.
The very fact that a dealer carries and features heavily
advertised brands is clear evidence of his sincerity in serving
make a bigger profit through the sale of unadvertized brands,
but he could not give his trade the values made possible by
advertising that decreases costs through increased demand.
If you want reliable merchandise at reasonable costs-if
you want goods that are BACKED by the faith, the integrity and
the printed pledge of the manufacturer-read the advertisements
and remember that the millions of dollars spent by prominent
manufacturers is a mighty factor in giving your money greater
buying power.

WORTHY LEGISLATION

One of the bills passed by the House this week was spon.
sored and guided through by Representative A. Piatt Andrew
Republican. 1t provided that if the government made overpay-
ment to a man in the service during the war, and there was
no evidence of fraud or of guilty knowledge of the overpayment
by the veteran, the government shall not attempt to obtain
redress by legal steps. Congressman Andrews opinion is that
in practically all such cases the veterans receiving the money
considered it their just due, and promptly spent it or dis
posed of it in some other way. Many of these men would be
seriously embarrassed if called upon to repay the government
After Congressman Andrews lucid explanation of the measure
it was passed by unanimous vote.
