City Manager Guessing

The city manager stepped out Of
the City hall and started towards
his office. A man carrying two
heavy grips addressed him.
Pardon me-" he said, show much
do you know about this town.
'Why, I am fairly familiar with
It," the city manager replied. "Why
do you askT"
swell, I've asked three police
men how to get out to an address
In Ingleside, and they told me
to take q bus on this street." the
stranger said. He was perspiring
somewhat, and it was evident that
he was not little peeved. 81 got
on bus and the driver told me he
didn't go that way at all. l want
to know just where I stand, any
how"
"All right, sir."' the city mana
ger replied; "you come with me"
And the city manager took one grip
and started down the street. He
stopped at the health department,
called an inspector and told him to
lget car. "'Take this man where
he wants to CO." he said.
When the car had gone the city
manager confided to bystanders
that as matter of fact he couldn't
have told the man how to get TO
the Ingleside address, either, and
that he'd look it up right away

Great Writers Worked
Under Odd Conditions

A new game for the students Of
the history of literature, writes the
Paris correspondent Of the London
Observer, is to examine the physi-
cal conditions under which famous
writer's did their work. For some,
tobacco was indispensable. Yer
laine used TO smoke almost inces-
sanity. So did Francois COppee,
and Huysmans was a great ciga-
rette smoker. Both of these men
also found the society of cats
stimulant to their inspiration, as
did Theophile Gautier and Bau-
delaire. The sturdy and vigorous
Jean Richepin, who reproached
Paul Bourget for drinking nothing
but water, used to do twenty min
utes of gymnastic exercise before
sitting down to work, and Mistral
could only write poetry after
sharp walk. Ernest Renan used to
stare. into the palm of his hand as
If his ideas came from there. Bal
zac, who could eat with gargan-
tuan appetite when he had finished
working, needed the help neither
of wine nor tobacco, which he de-
tested, although Lamartine falsely
accused him of showing teeth black
ened by the nicotine of cigars.
Chateaubriand, when he dictated
to his secretary, used to walk bare
foot, up and down the cold stone
floor of his room.

Getty Grove School News
(By Adolph Wiener.)

(By AdOlph W1ener.)
We didn't have many days of
school this week as our teacher
was sick.
Friday we enjoyed making
Christmas decorations for our
school and it's appearance now
makes us think of Christmas.
The Third grade pupils have
finished four booklets and the
Second grade three booklets.
We received our Christmas
stamps but have not sold many
vet. But hope we will have bet
ter luck.
Lucille Gregory and Sylvester
Wiener have had perfect attend
ance since school started.
We are going to have a Christ
mas program in the afternoon,
the Goth of this month. We wish
to invite school boards and par
ents.
The Eighth grade pupils thought
we knew a little in arithmetic,
but find we know only a small
part of it.
We enjoy going out and having
a few snow ball battles at noon
ard recess.
We wish to tell the school board
that our best friend at school
these days is our new stove.

GoLD FISH INDusrRY

The CLINT of the goldfish is more
symbolic of the metal from which
it takes its name than is generally
supposed. Propagation of these
drawing room ornaments in the
United States has reached value
Of nearly $1,000,000 for the current
year, says the Bureau of Fisheries
of the United States.
Breeding goldfish in this coun-
try can scarcely be called an infant
industry, since it was begun in 1878
when Rear Admiral Daniel Amen,
U. S. N, presented the United
States Fish Commission with a
number of the little creatures that
had been brought from Japan. Fish
breeders in the country were at
tracted by the possibilities of the
goldfish trade, and their efforts
along that line proved increasingly
successful until 1928 they produced
q, 100000 goldfish, valued at $942,-
600. From Japan there came $780,.
600 more.
Persons who have had difficulty
keeping goldfish alive and healthy
would do well to hearken to the

Druggists as Opticians

In these days Of optometrists, oc-

ing to recall that not so many
years ago eyes were cared for by
druggists, as is evidenced by an

Legion Indentifies Towns
From the Air

To the Minnesota Legion post
which during the IL months pre-
ceding the Crookston state conven.
ton in August, 1880, does most to
foster aviation, Colonel L. H. Brit.
tin, general manager of Northwest
Aairways, will award a special
aeronautics trophy.
Gopher Legionaires" says vii
liam Mitchell, of Tracy, Minnesota
Legion aeronautics chirman, care
lending their influence and energy
toward establishment of regular OF
emergency landing fields.
"They are also fostering identifi.
cation of their home towns from
the air, by placing the name on
building roofs in huge letters OF
paint, or wood, with an arrow
pointing north, to help orient lost
aviators.
"Some are lighting these signs al
night, by foodlights, or by spelling
the name with electric bulbs or with
neon lights. The smaller the com.
munity, the greater the need for it,

small town has little to identify il

"As their Louisville national con

in bill introduced in congress by
Senator Thomas D. Schall, Mime
sofa Legionaires are urging pas

for more federal aid for civilian fly

Napoleon No Scholar

Napoleon did not distinguish
himself in school. AS one writer
puts it: Napoleon's scholastic
career was not brilliant and he re-
Iceived his commission in The ar
Etillery in 1855 without having
given evidence Of any marked abil-
ity, except, perhaps, that of hold
ing his own counsel and to carry
ing through to the end any attitude
adopted. These traits. which after
ward made him feared equally In
the council chamber and on the bat
.tlefield, he inherited from his
mother.

Authors Who Despised Books

While it is natural to assume
that all authors are devoted read
ers and advocate reading for
others, 1t is pointed out that de
Maupassant said books "made one
narrow, they misrepresented life, in
dulged in deception and gave the
mind false direction" and Rousseau
declared that he "hated books they
teach people to talk about things
they do not understand" Further,
Emile Zola compared authors in
general to "sausagemakers who pre-
pared their stuff for others while
sedulously not eating any them
selves"

Cucumber Long Delicacy

De Candolle says that cucumbers
were originally from the East In
dies, but other botanists ascribe
them to Asia and Egypt. Litera-
ture proves them to be more than
5000 years old in Asia, and it is
known that they were brought into
China 140-S6 B. G. They were
known to the Greeks and Romans
and were mentioned by Pliny, who
says they were grown in Africa,
and that they were such favorite
with Emperor Tiberius that he had
them daily on his table. Charlie
magne ordered them planted on his
estate in the Ninth century, and
they were grown by Columbus in
Haiti in 1494. Capt. John Smith
mentions them as being cultivated
In Virginia in 1884.

Cleaning Steel Pens

The bureau of standards says the
deposit left by the drying of ordi-
nary writing ink on steel pens con-
sists of iron sulphate, gallic and
.tannic acids, dye, phenol and per-
haps some gummy matter. There
may also be substances formed by
the oxidation and palymerization
Of the gaIifc and tannic acids. No
one liquid will remove all Of these
