With the same thoroughness with
which they investigated the automo.
bile industry before acquiring owner

brothers have been endeavoring to
ascertain what particular motor car
features appeal to the greatest num-
Der OF motorists.
Not content to rely solely on

ence Of the American public.

dent that a movement back to
the farm must be started soon
if indeed, it is not already under
way. Since the war, this movement
has been the other way and small
wonder, at that. Jobs appeared
plentiful in the industrial centers
where a, man could work eight or
ten hours day, for eight or ten
dollars. These chances are no
longer so plentiful, and every city

parading the streets job hunting.

hard work on the farm. Peace and

Farming, not only here, but in
every agricultural section, has
been in a trough of depression.
Observers are Of the opinion that
it has now reached its lowest

THE tent show which openet

THE tent show which opened
the season here last week was
benefit to this town. Owing to
our early season they found it an
ideal place to gather, rehearse
their plays and get their outfit in
shape for the summer season.
Coming late in the fall, they stor-
ed their outfit here and the actors
for the season came several weeks
ago to perfect their parts and ar
range for the stage fittings. It
was bit disastrous for the show
that they had to run into the week
Of the big frost and winds, but
their shows each night helped ma
terially in dispelling the cloud of
gloom which settled over the COM
munity. The money their eighteen
employees spent in their stay here
was no small item. They Iare all,
from the managers down to the
lowest paid of the tent |crew, a
fine clean bunch of people, far
above what one would expect from
such an aggregation, and their
plays were high class, clean enter
tainment. We shall be glad to see

WE remember fable read once
~ years ago when in grade
school about fellow who was
seeking a good man. They way he
went about finding one was to
place large stone in the middle
of the road and from a secluded
spot watch until traveller, realiz-
ing what trouble the stone might
cause to other persons like him
self, stopped and laboriously rolled
it out of the way. Now we believe
there are few, if any, tourists of
today who would stop and roll a
stone off the highway, that is I'M
less it was impossible to get by
without moving it, but it certainly
doesn't seem that it would be ask
ing a great deal Of people to re-
quest that they refrain from
breaking glass or leaving broken
glass on busy thorofares. It is hard
to understand how anyone could
be SO utterly Indifferent to the
welfare of others. Broken glass
is a menace to horses and stock
as well as automobile tires and
has been unduly prominent in this
vicinity of late. It would only re-
quire a moment for the person
breaking it to brush it out of the
way, but flat, when you are in
a hurry, is something to really
"cuss" about.

The fourth dimension is a type of
geometry, which conceives hyper

space is conceived not of points. but
of lines. Under such division, space
has four dimensions, since four de-
