The Widows Card

DEAR MRS. BEECkMAN:
NV mothers name was recently
taken from the city directory. Her
husband has been dead for a great
many years. and she has been
signing her name Mrs. Mary
Brown. 4 The man insisted, how
ever. that 1t should be Mrs.
George Brown Is he right or
wrong in this? 1T seems strange,
after all these years. that his
name should be resurrected and
appended to her name. Please
let me know regarding this.
READER.
am very much interested in
the point OF view Of the man who
was taking the names for the
city directory, for he certainly had
the correct social point of view.
The rule is that a widow Uses the

same form Of her name that she
used when her husband was liv-
ing. And he was right when he
said that the really corfect form
for your mother to use is Mrs.
George Brown. Please do not mis-
understand me. do not mean to
say that your mother should not
use the form Of name that she
wishes to use--We all have that
privilege, and others must bow

THE PATHFINDER

No man liveth unto himself alone. All need path

anything in science it is because have stood on the
shoulders Of giants"
The young student takes it as matter of course that
he shall follow the old masters. If music he sits the
feet Of great gudes-Bach Beethoven, Chopin If art
he works FOR hours before copies of the great masters
Raphael, Michael-Angelo. Murio. The student not
only knows the value of the pathfinder but is happy to
acknowledge the debt he owes these mmortals
So it is in business. The man who FORCES to the
front in industrial commercial life is the man who is
closely in touch with everything the leaders his line
doing. Businessmen are not ashamed to follow the
pathfinder.
The greater the man. the frankly does he &C.

Plato sat at the feet of Socrates Aristotle at the feet

Corregio from Raphael.
None but fool feels himself to be elfsufficen The
best of man must acknowledge their masters. Few
there in the galaxy of world stars that shine by
themselves without the added uster of borrowed glory
It is not weakness to have pathfinder but rather
mark of good sense.

Editorial Comment
TWO SIGNIFICANT PRIMARIES
(Grand Forks Herald)


While Rev. F. S. Mcbride, superintendent Of the
Anti-Saloon League is somewhat inclined to look at
matters in connection with prohibition, through rose
glasses there appears to be real basis for his
exultation the result Of the primary elections
Ohio With one exception the candidates endorsed in
both the Democratic and Republican primaries were
dry" and the victory Of the lone "wet is still very
much in doubt 1t should also be noted that in the Mis-
souri, primaries week ago practically similar results
occurred.
1t may be contended that votes for "wet" or "dry"
candidates do not necessarily reflect accurately the
tments of the voters the wet dry issues and in
support Of this argument the vote in the recent North
Dakota primary may be cited 1t is quite true that
this state the vote for the elimination of the prohibition
clause from the state constitution far in
that cast for the candidates who sponsored this
But it must be remembered that in North Dakota there
other issues in which the interest of the public
was largely conferred and the chances of the wet
candidates were considered by nearly everyone to be
practically negligible
No such situation existed in either the Ohio or the
Missouri primary far see, prohibition ap-
pearing to have been the main issue in both
Another significant point in connection with both
elections that in neither Ohio Missouri is the vot-
ing population predominantly rural There are some
mighty big cities in both states which must represent
good sized percentages Of the votes And large cities
are generally regarded the chief strongholds Of we
sentiment.
So taking it all in all it would seem that the dry lead
ers are rather well justified in their ubilation over
these primary results.

SIMPLIFYING THE CENSUS


For future federal the house committee on
the census recommends that congress leave to the dis
creton OF the director the question to be asked
by enumerators and that there be considerable dmi.
mutton in the number of questions Both suggestions
have merit.
Too many useless statistics have been compiled in
former When the 1920 was taken there
were twenynine columns in which enumerators had to
make entries Perhaps half that number would have
been enough.
The standard questions age SEX nativity, marital
state and occupation essential and the
may have some real need for statistics relating
to such fields agriculture irrigation drainage in
dustry and distribution But farther than this the CEN
sus law and bureau should 60. 1t is certain that in
the taking Of the next there will not be asked
as there was in at least former census questions of
SO personal and private nature that many people felt
justified in fatty refusing to answer them.
Congress and the census bureau should not applv
their genius to thinking up new census questions but
to discovering ways and means of expediting ANALYSIS
and publication Of census figures. It is not unknown
for the census data to be wholly out of date and useless
by the time it has been analysed and published.
