Job was a patient man as Fred Hadley
so often and SO aptly tells us, but he never had
to answer four telephone calls while he was
making the crust for apple pie If he had
not even Fred would be able to find this pa

Nearly one hundred thousand women are at
tending high school classes in the city of London
alone Who said the girls make up the giddy
members of the human race! 1t would be in
teresting to know how our own New York COM
pares with the English metropolis in its boast of
ambitious women and girls.

We not worrying so much as some about
this tariff French goods, American made
hats, coats and dresses have served for 10,
these many years-and should worry about
higher price on the imported ones. What wor-

sneak up too-in price mean, of course!

Redwood County and Redwood Falls well
comes Judge A. B. Gislason of Marshall as the
District Judge of the Ninth Judicial District.
1t is not welcoming stranger but old friend
one who has served the District in this capac-
ity before and who returns to the bench bring
ing with him valuable past experience as we'll
as much native and acquired ability.

learned man of Chicago recently speak
ing to an audience of Duluth women on the SUBJ
ject of Boneheads, defined a bonehead as zone
who has allowed his spirit to become so morbid
through the influence of the negative emotions
that it has completely dried and turned to bone"
We like better the defining rhyme which it is
reported Aristotle spoke to Plato-which
report gives a good background even though it
may be trifle untrue. Here is the rhyme:
IF anger, envy, fear and hate
Enter into my own head,
| Then just as sure as any fate
I'll become bonehead."

We do hope you know right where to put
your hand on your Second Liberty bonds, for
after November 18th these bonds no longer draw
interest-and it is time to cash them in and in
vest your money in something else. The reason
we anxious to have yours looked up is that
some folks have been exceedingly careless about
those bonds which have matured in the past. For
instance, more than three million dollars of the
Victory Loan, which matured in 1928, have not
yet been presented for redemption. 1t is unim-
aginable that these hard bought bonds should be
lost or forgotten, but how else is the above fact
to be explained The lost interest on the Victory
issue alone is appalling-also bit disgusting
when We stop to remember the awful crouch
some United Statesians developed when they
were asked to put little money into those
bonds Having developed their crouch, and put
their money into a good investment they straight
way forgot about it. Surely the way of a man
and his nickes unexplainabe.

Every Minnesota woman Will want to read,
and that Immediately, Alice Ames Winters new
book The Heritage of Women. For several years
past, since Mrs. Winters retirement as Presi-
dent of the General Federation of Womens Clubs,
she has been writing for the entertainment and
education of the Womens Home Journal with
its more than a million readers With the un-
derstanding and sympathy of one who knows
women thoroughly and loves them well, and with
a broad and dashing sweep of her brush of words
across her canvas Of print paper, Mrs. Winter
has made the women of whom she writes live
as vivid, vital, living creatures with faults and
oveableness and all the other traits of the every
day woman of America. This she has been able
to do in her general articles appearing from
in the new book which is presentation of wo-
men-types since the world began. In the process
sion which marches gracefully and boldly before
the readers eye march gallant ladies of intel
lect, charm and beauty, from the early Hebrew
woman down to our own day-each generation
OF women, as seen by Mrs. Winter, leaving it's
priceless contribution to the progress of the
world. To the disillusioned, to the somewhat
weary, to those a little uncertain whether the
modern woman is filling her place as well as
did the woman of the past-to all those who
need little resellng on the idea of woman as
power, Mrs. Winter brings word of assur
ance and reinsurance which is gratifying and
should be gratefully received. That Mrs. VIM
ter is herself q Minnesota woman should increase
the value Of The Heritage Of Women to the Min
nesota student Of things as they are.
