WANTED: A GENIUS!

There is not a single genius in the
world today. A storm of comment
and some protest have greeted that
flat declaration of university presi-
dent. Many to refute his inference
of present intellectual mediocity have
rushed into print with extensive lists
of men still living who can well be
rated as geniuses, they contend.
Sir Oliver Lodge has taken up the
cudgels for Great Britain and has
nominated DR.. James Hopworth STAN
ley Eddington, Plumian professor Of
astronomy at Cambridge. They may
be virtually unknown to newspaper
readers in this country, but Sir Oliv-
er insists that they are ''as any one
who ever existed; as great as any IA
nous man of the past"
Others have nominated Rudyard
Kipling, Bernard Shaw, Thomas Edi-
son, Henry Ford, Marconi, Wilbur
Wright, Sir Austen Chamberlain and
outstanding men in other lines. Fame,
talent and genius, obviously, are mix
ed up in these nominations. Lind
bergh, Dempsey, Chaplin, Babe Ruth
and Helen Wills are famous for the
time being. 1t is doubtful if history
will record any of them permanent
ly as geniuses.
webster's dictionary defines |
genius at length as person of exalt
ed, often supreme, power, frequentl!
working through the imagination, in
tuitively and spontaneously, in al
inexplicable, unanalyzable manner
as though inspired. The definition il

REV.F.W.SCHENDEL
DIESATBELLINCHAM
BORN NEAR DANUBE. EVAN.
GELICAL PASTOR FOR EIGH-
TEEN YEARS. INTERMENT
MADE AT OLIVIA.

Rev. Frederick w. Schendel, pas
tor of the Bellingham. Evangelical
church, died at the Madison hospital
Monday morning of last week. He be-
came sick Saturday and was immedi-
ately taken to the hospital. Acute in
digestion is given as the cause of his
death.
Frederick Schendel is son of Mr..
and Mrs. Michael Schendel. He was
born on a farm between Danube and
Renville May %, 1879. Here he spent
his youth until after he was gradual
ed from high school. He then attend
ed North Central College at Naper-
vile, Ill.
In June 1905 he was married to
Miss Lydia Bethke. Six children
Verla, Mae, Florn, Stanley, Lyndon
and Betty were born to this union.
Reverend Schendel was licensed to
preach in 1909. In 1915 he was re-
ceived into the itinerancy. The same
year he was also ordained as dea-
con, and two years later he was or
dained as an elder.
From 1913 to 1914 he served as
pastor in the Morristown and Le-
Sueur evangelical churches. From
there he was sent by the conference
to Luverne where he served until
1920. From 1920 until 1924 he was
in charge of the church at Rochester
whore he served until the time of his
death.
Funeral services were held Wed.

BREAKFAST, DINNER AND SUP
PER.

Is the New England supper on the
verge of disappearance? We doubt
it very much. Though substitution
of dinner for supper has been grad
ually developing in the past quarter
of a century, supper" still persists in
old New England families in name
and in character.
In the old days in all New England
there were three meals on weekdays
and two on Sundays. Approximately
breakfast came at 6 a. M, dinner at
noon and supper at p. m. On Sum-
day breakfast was served-no, no,
breakfast was "ready"-at about 8
o'clock and dinner at almost any time
between 2 and p. m. If the chill
dren started "fussin'" along about
bedtime they stood a fairly good
chance of getting a cookie, a dough-
nut, or a cracker.
There are probably a great many
of today's New Englanders who speak
of dinner with mental reservation
that 'it's supper just the same" and
no amount of revision of the customs
of their forefathers ever will make
Supper time" anything else but "sup-
per time," even though dinner may be
served.
The "late suppers" which prevail
today were unknown to the early gen.
erations of New Englanders. How
could they have "late suppers" when
tradition required of them that the
kerosene lights be "blown OUT
promptly at o'clock in the evening ?
1t makes little difference to the New
Highlander who traces his lineage
back to pre-revolutionary days wheth-
er modern society shall insist upon
advancing dinner to supper and sup
per to a midnight luncheon or not, the
real, old-time, traditional supper at
or about 6 o'clock in the evening will
continue to be supper" even though
it may be tagged dinner" and to all
intents and purposes be dinner

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 9.-The
Canadian government is besieged
with messages today, from one end
Of Canada to the other, asking for
action that will prevent future

been inspected by government air
board officials and have had hours

similar to those encountered over
the Atlantic.
The, protests also ask that the
government, If it allows the flights
from Canada to continue, see that
the flights are made in seaplanes
instead Of land aircraft so that the
element Of risk would be cut down.
Paying heed to the storm of pro-
tests, Premier King has announced
that at the next session Of parlia-
ment he may bring in legislation
that will have as its aim, the
hating from Canada of flights

Foremost Canadians favor flights
between Canada and the United
States, from one given point in one
country to a given point in the

It Is possible, even probable. that
no details of Old Glory's disaster
will ever be known. The stricken
plane may have stayed in the air
a full hour or more after the
distress signal had been broadcast
with its radio crippled, and perhaps
crashed into the sea a hundred
miles or more away from the spot
where the search of the ocean
liners was concentrated.
Hope for Old Glory's safety was
maintained until late hour yester.

perhaps the trouble which caused
