armistice, and the preparation for, let
us hope, the enduring peace OF the
world
All Minnesota is proud of its native
son, Frank B. Kellogg. The highest
honor in the power of the French

Kellogg was a big man in Minnesota
when he ran for Congress but the
southern end of the state raised The

feated him. 1t remained for the peo-
pie of foreign lands and other states

Senator Brookhart of Iowa is re-
ceiving some boquetS and also some
brick-batS for bringing the matter OF

An editor is a person who is never
so silly as the typeSetter sometimes
makes him feel. He is also the person
who is supposed to know all the good
and bad of everybody and print the
good things and forget the bad ones.
He is supposed to publish free all
things pertaining to entertainments
and other money making schemes

paper and other expenses, and then
buy tickets for each and everyone of
them in order to give the affair

the tickets is working on commission.

There are only 100000 less human
beings in the world than 1000, ,000, 900.
The League of Nations statictical de-
partment tells us this. The most of us
cannot count to two thousand millions
and sometimes when caught in a foot
ball or circus crush might be led to
believe all the peopleof the country
were there. More than half of this
immense total live in Asia alone.
North and South America has the
rather small total Of 232,0O0,O00; all of
Europe has 514,000,000, only 64,O00,00O
more than China alone.
The editor of the Miner is perfectly
well satisfied with the rather insig-

North and South America and SINGER

creasing our population to any great
