An editorial writer states that wo-
men have advanced and made camp
on new front. Men have lost an
other fort. When men lost the ex-
elusive privileges of the barber shop
they believed they had given up their
last domain. Not so. The hardware
store remained. Now comes the lead
ing hardware dealers of the Middle
West and say that, with the excep-
tion of few lines, women make IS
per cent of the purchases in hard
ware stores. There are few worlds
left for women to conquer.

FARM MECHANICS

The prosperity of the Northwest is
based on successful farming.
Successful farming has become
more and more of mechanical trade.
The truck, automobile, and tractor
are in some measure responsible for
increased efficiency, increased produc-
ton, and greater efficiency on the
farm.
Dunwoody Institute of Minneapolis,
is attempting in its own small way
to be of service to farmers by offer
ing instruction in farm mechanics,
tractor work, and similar lines.
This institute was a gift to the
residents of the state and a sincere
effort is being put forth to develop
the facilities of the school to be of
use to all residents of the state.
Each year many boys and men
from the farm take training during
the winter months at Dunwoody in
some mechanical line and return to
the farm in the spring better quail
fed to do their work.

Americans are not so jazz-mad as
some critics would have us believe.
A QUESTIONABLE sent out recently by
large monograph company brought
1890 replies from radio listeners who
named Beethoven as their favorite
composer and the overture to Wag-
ner's ''Tannhauser" as among their
favorite selections. Only 35 of those
Intercepted had any use for jazz mu-
sic, while 1876 others denounced it.
The monograph and the radio ap-
parently have done something to ele-
vate the standard of musical taste in
America.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

RETURNING LEGION
VISITORS TELL OF
PARIS CONVENTION
Natives Pleased When Gophers
Understood Marching Order
Given in French.

AS Minnesota Legion and Auxiliary
members returned from abroad, they
tell of many interesting incidents con-
nected with their national convention
trip. They say the great parade was
memorable. Hundreds of thousands
of French folks all along the line of
the procession shouted 'Vive l. Amer
ique" and Bravo. Kisses were
thrown, tears wiped away, visitors
made to feel honored guests.
Captain Arnold Shutter, command
ing Minnesota section, received cheer
would announce EN- Avant lMarche -
as the parade was resumed. This
knowledge of their language brought
joy to the men, women and children.
Minnesota had some French officers
in its ranks, and they were fairly en-
braced by the affectionate glances of
the French people.
1t seemed to please the French
people very much to see the American
Legion Auxiliary women marching
in the parade; Miss Blanche Scallen,
Minnesota department secretary, re-
lates. With the Legionnaires, they
passed under the historic Arch de
Triomphe-the third time in history
that this has been allowed. AS they
passed the Unknown Soldiers Tomb
near the center of the arch, they laid
upon it their tribute to the brave SOL
diers of France who died for liberty.

A VILLAGE BLACKSMITH

st. Paul Pioneer-Press.
1t is not stated whether John Sol
berg, S3-year-old blacksmith of Twin
Valley, Mimi, stands under a chest
nut tree as he yields his hammer and
plies his bellows, but man who
spends his eighty-third birthday at
the forge, as Mr.. Solberg did the
other day, may be presumed to pos
sess all of the physical attributes of
Longfellow's blacksmith.
The blacksmith is not the pictur-
esque figure he once was. Modern
machinery, which is supplanting Old
Dobbin, has robbed him of many of
yet fulfill his description in the Flori-
da Times-Union:
Beside the filling station now
The village smithy stands,
And many dollars fall into
His large and sinewy hands.
Not yet, for as long as there are
horses to be shod and certain other
tasks of his trade to be performed,
the old-time blacksmith will survive.
Blacksmiths are a sturdy lot, as
well they must be, to perform their
heavy tasks. John Solberg, for exam
pie. For 60 years he has labored at
the forge and still is "going strong"
Had he followed an occupation re-
quiring little physical exertion the
chances would have been against his
attaining his present age and against
his having the vigor to do heavy labor
if he had reached it.

Won HINDENBURG, THE MAN
tChristian Science Monitor)

tChristian Science Monitor)
At a time when the eyes of the
world are upon President Won linden
burg, it is interesting to examine the
grounds of his popularity. Of his
service to his country in the war
there is no question. In supreme
command of the armies during a criti-
cal period, he became the idol of his
countrymen. OF his work after the
war, sticking to his post under defeat
and helping to bring the armies back,
there can be no doubt. What then has
prompted the recent outburst of en-
thusiasm for a man avowedly a mon
archist, yet respected as the head of
the Republic?
The Germans unqualifiedly assert
that it is his straightforward charac-
ter. 1t is that which endears him
to the hearts of the people. Closely al
lied to the imperial regime for many
years, it was undoubtedly bitter ex-
perience for him to see the monarchy
crumble. Yet he refrained from dis
turbing the development of the Re-
public, and the fact that he kept. and
is keeping, the oath of allegiance to
the Republican observation-disclosures
at heart still a servant of his former
monarch-has won him the respect
of the nation.
Not only has he given every evil

the school children next day why he
