explained, there is a marked similarity
for about 900 miles in the customs of
these Indians. who live near Rainy
Lake in the region northwest of Lake
Superior, although their dialects are
different.
Powers of divination claimed by these
Indians were described by DR.. Cooper
who spends his Summers in field work
among them. Typical of these asserted
powers, he said, were the customs of

NEWSPAPER INACCURACIES

Newspapers contain many inaccu.
racies, said Frank B. Noyes, presi-
dent of the Associated Press, speak
ing at a conference of the major in
dustries, "since they are the pro-
duct of human beings, but the in
tention is to fairly and accurately
depict the situation described"
There is scarcely anything that
worries an editor more than mac
curacies in his sheet. The chief diff
ffculties in the way of such accuracy,
are the inaccurate habits of the gen.
eraI public, and second, the lack of
time in newspaper offices to do the
most careful kind of work. The pa
per has to go to press at certain
hour, regardless whether informa-
ton is complete.
One of the first principles taught
in newspaper Office of any standing
whatever, is accuracy, precision, eX-
actness. The novice reporter is told
that he must get things right down
to the least detail. But the way
things work is often like this. The
reporter seeking after information
on a certain event, will very fire.
quently find that the people who
could give the most accurate infor-
nation are away from home, or can
not be located except after long
search.
If the reporter spent all the time
necessary to round up these people,
then he would neglect large part
of his work. Frequently then, he
will be almost forced to depend for
his information on people who
should know all the facts, yet may
not be the ones from whom he
would choose to get this informa-
ton.
The great majority Of people who
never had newspaper training are
apt to be inaccurate. They can not
things straight. They get
names and dates and amounts twist
ed. The reporter is often forced to
take information from such people,
and then when he carefully prints
what was It'd him, the information
proves wrong. And the newspaper
gets blamed.
The good editor fights everyday of
bis life for 100 per cent accuracy,
ind comes as near it as he can, and
S never satisfied with the degree of
t he has attained. |

Mother, why do you beat the

she watched her mother making a

I'm too busy for questions this
morning." her mother replied. run
outdoors and play"
The too busy" mother failed to
notice the wistful look in Marys
eyes as she closed the door.
In the next yard, Helen and her
mother were busy together.
Come and see our garden" called
Helen.
| Glad of the invitation, Mary quick
ly Joined them. Helen proudly
showed her the small patch of
ground that was her Every own"
garden, all ready for the seeds.
Helen's mother placed a small stick
at each end of the garden and tied a
string to them.
why do you put a string there,
Mother?" asked Helen.
'It helps us to keep the row
straight" she answered as she
showed them how to make a tiny
trench for the seeds.
The girls took turns helping her
to drop in the seeds and cover them
with earth. To every question-and
there were many-she gave care
full and satisfactory reply.
When the seeds were planted
Mary expressed a wish that she
might have a garden, too, but she
added with sigh, Mothers too
busy"
In later years, Mary's mother was
to find that Mary |
showed little interest in housework. !
Even her association with Helen,
who still lived next door, did not
awaken in her the desire to be of
service in her own home. Her moth
er secretly envied her neighbor be-
cause of Helen's ability and love of
home duties and openly lamented
the lack of these qualities in her
own daughter.
The "why" of Mary's early years
had been too often unanswered and
ignored. The beating of a cake, the
planting of a seed-such trivial
things to her mother-had been
sources of wonderment to the child
sh mind. Her imagination, unassist-
ed, could not determine the causes
5or doing certain things in par
ocular, approved manner. Her
mother had failed to realize that her
questions were not mere idle curios-
ty but evidence of an active and in
luiring mind.

ome extent, she thus gained indie

means enough to compensate for the

On the other hand, Helen's mother
vas repaid thousandfold for the
ime and thought given to her small
aughter's numerous inquiries. No

IT MAY BE SAID that the day of
the metropolitan newspaper is at

as true that the day of the local
newspaper is here too.
The metropolitan daily with its
worldwide news, it's comic sheets
and it's magazine supplements, while
of course essential in our modern
civilization, cannot take the place OF
the home newspaper. The very fact
that the big city daily must cover a
broad field forbids it's becoming 10

cal field where the home newspaper
dominates and where it finds its true
For, after all, it is the home news
which is most important to most of
us. We have the greatest interest in
the community in which we live, and
in the people who are eur neighbors
and friends. And it is the local

penings of the folks at home, and in
addition fosters the civic pride and
spirit of the community
We frequently hear it said that
he old time Independent spirit of
he newspaper is gone, that its edi
orial policy is now subservient to
he business Office. Yet this is not

he average business man will do or
an do.
Of course the local newspaper is
ow on a firm business basis. This
why it is improving from year to
ear, why it is giving its readers a l
instantly better newspaper, and
hy it is increasing its influence for

ELECTRICITY IS SOLVING many

ELECTRICITY is SOLVING many
farm difficulties. BY doing away
with slow, expensive and inefficient
physical labor, it is today bringing
about an agricultural revolution
similar to the great changes that
| took place during the period when
power was introduced into industry.
A practical experimental farm es-
tablished in Illinois is a good augury
for the future. 1t is of 80 acres,
stocked with COWS, hogs and chick
ems, the three great enthusiasms of
those who advocate diversified far
ming
All of the cows needs are supplied
cheaply and quickly by power. The
hay is pitched by an electric motor,
and the water pumped into automat-
ic drinking cups. Electricity cuts
the feed and lifts it into bins. Elec-
trio mixers do the arduous milking
job and electric refrigerators cool
the milk.
Flies are kept away from the cows
by an electric killer that attracts
them with bait, and when they touch
it, electrocutes them.
The feed for the pigs is likewise
electrically prepared and their house
is warmed by an electric stove.
Electricity operates the incubator
and young chicks are treated with
ultraviolet rays to prevent sickness.
By use of electric light the hens
working day is heightened tc as
much as Is hours, increasing winter
egg production.
The farm house is equipped with
almost every known and perfected
electric labor saving device.
This farm, established as an ex-
pertinent, is proving an outstanding
practical success. Unless all signs
fail, it is model for the future.

Of these, As were not indicted, as
% committed suicide, Is have never

cause of lack of evidence.
Sixty-nine, in all, were indicted.
Of these, 16 were acquitted, II were
mo trial" cases and one was a mis-
trial. Forty-one were judged guilty
of murder.
Of these, 35 are in prison serving
sentences, six have been appealed,
three have been granted new trials,
one was paroled, one escaped with a
fine, and just one of the murderers
paid the death penalty.
If these statistics are generally
applicable, it means that in this
less than one per cent of
ever receive the most Sc

ces are about even for their never
receiving any punishment at all.
