Our idea of heaven is place that will have
all the conveniences of big modern hotel with
out any of the noise all the good points of an
apartment house in a good section of the city
with no radios or monographs or Saturday night
parties.
The Seventh Congressional District is out of
luck. Laura Volstead positively declines to even
consider becoming a candidate for Congress at
this time But it would have been mighty

DR.. Joseph A. Hill, assistant director of the
United States census bureau states that while
the population in 1910 was los, 71O,62O he pre-
diets that in 1880 it will be 1928, 1925. The
race suicide and birth control worries should
cease to worry.
There many compensatons for living in
small towns. Not the least of these is the fact
that there aren't quite so many city government
scandals so much after-election mud to clean
up. Recent rather startling revelations of what
may easily happen in the larger places have
just been made in the Twin City papers.

One more autmobie driver has paid bitter

Elmer Colvin of Indiana killed himself and al
most killed his wife and baby by shutting off his
power when going down a dangerous hill. This
method of Saving gas" may be economical so
far as the gas tank goes, but is pretty expensive
in other ways.
And learn that thus far man has
learned to use only the thin little top crust of
his brain and that underneath this crust are
many, many brain cells as yet are uncultivated.
Scientists say it may take millions of years to
develop the use of these cells so that the human
being may get the fun use of his BRAIN All of
which makes US realize how pigmy and under
done We are-and is perhaps answer, after
ALL to those drasticly opposed to evolution.

Carlton Miles is doing lot to take the rom
ance and the picturesquences out of life in the
they actually exist at Hollywood For instance
in one of his stories in the Minneapolis Jour-
nal last week Mr.. Miles told of girls earning
$4,000 year as extras in the firms, being re-
quired to spend $500 of it for clothes to wear
while at work. Much of the glitter has gone
from the movie profession and tales of the actu-
al suffering from lack of work and lack of
money doing much to put the movie field
where it belongs-among the poorly paid and
badly overcrowded fields of industry.

He had heart! The Ironwood Globe says
as man grows old, he is likely to become intol-
Grant of little children. But Hans Christian
Jorgenson of Duluth had not reached the stage
where intolerance gripped him. When he died
a few days ago a crudely drawn will let it be
known that he left an estate of $4,000 for
new swimming hole for the kids at Lincoln
park" Jorgenson was only lumberjack but
he had heart and love for children. For
years he followed the work of a woodsman.
Careful of his earnings over a long period of
years, he accumulated small fortune. And all
of this he left to the children. The world has
room for many of Jorgenson's type.-Olivia

This, from the Grand Forks Herald makes a
very simple matter of what we have always sup
posed would be a very difficult one;
If Senator Frazier succeeds in hav-
ing the Mississippi fixed up as he pro-
poses, SO that ships Of the size of the
Leviathan can run up to ST. Louis, and
ships of slightly smaller size can navi-
gate the Mississippi up to the Montana
line, and Governor Sorlie has the Red
river made navigable to Hudson bay,
and we touch up the st. Lawrence in
couple of places, there will remain only
the little job of cutting cash of few
hundred miles through the Rocky
mountains to make the whole continent
navigable in every direction
