HAVING ON THE FLAT

One bright morning in last August
We assembled on the fiat
With our horses, rakes and hayracks,
And our p~itch-forks, and all that.
"You can run the sweeprake Skinner.
Slim can rake and bunch the hay.
Pete, you can NOV that piece down
Yonder;
Bill will help me stack today"
Then Dad and Bill squared up the hay
To make a thirty-foot stack.

 A small boy was learning to skate. Having no one to help him, he fell again and again. A kind-hearted lady standing on the bank said: "Why, son ny, you are getting all bumped up. I wouldn't stay on the ice and keep falling down so; I'd just come off and watch the others" With tears rolling down his cheeks, the child looked from his advisor to the shining steel on his feet and answered half indignantly: q didn't get a pair O new skates to give up with.

HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
 MINING DEVELOPMENT

Supporting the long held view of the Herald that stock ex- change trading in mining is of little benefit to the mining industry, if not actually detri- mental thereto, the Mining and Industrial Record (Vancouver) has the following to say on the subject:
 Mining Truth, of Spokane, criticizes the statement in these columns that the Stock Exchanges function has noth- ing to do with mining develop. ment and operation, merely providing a means by which shares can be conveniently traded. As we have before stated, it's great use is that it provides a means for making shares serve as liquid assets. in that they can be disposed of readily for cash. There have been a very few cases in which the Vancouver Exchange has been used for selling Treasury Stock to the public. A com- mon procedure has been the underwriting of an issue by a brokerage firm: this has been passed on to the firms clients at a profit of 100fd and up- wards: as soon as it had been so disposed of the stock would be listed and traded on Ex- change, early sales being at a price higher than it had been sold to individuals for.
 This method of financing meant that not over half the money paid by the public for stock went into the ground. While exchange trading, dur ing the past two years, was ac- tive and millions of dollars were invested in stocks, prac- tically not a dollar of this mon ey went into development. Where prices were boosted the future was discounted to a hopeless extent.
 The sole benefit mining re- ceived was that, when a brok- CT was looking for a new pro- motion, it was easy to get a block of stock underwritten. It was in few instances indeed that the local stock exchanges were used for financing.

MIRROR REAL AMERICA

Iufnlng rom the big city newspapers to the small town press exchanges that come to the Herald's desk is like step- ping from the -slums, full of vile, into an old-fashioned gar den sweet with lavendar and thyme and the scent of peren- nial flowers. The pages of the big dailies are so full of mur- der, thievery, immortality and selfishness, that the better news is obscured by these glar- nig shatterings of the Deca- logue. One puts the papers aside with a feeling of depress- ion and heartache that the world is SO full of terrible and unhappy things.
 Then picking up the papers that record the happenings of the small towns, one gains re- newed faith in life and human ity. Here are set forth only
 hat which uplifts a commun- !ty; the activities of the busi- ness men, the church news, he civic good accomplished cy the women, school items, he happy social gatherings of he people, the marriages, births, and deaths, and all the thousand and one daily occur cences that make up the simple annals of the great common people, who are really the foundation of this great coun- Try of ours. Scandals are sell dom published in the country newspapers, but if it so hap pens that decency demands it,
 he uglier details are omitted or given kindly touch that is wisely different from the un- feeling publicity of the city press. The offenders may be our neighbors, or people we have rubbed elbows with all our lives. They are real hu- man beings to their home town paper, while to the great city dailies they are merely grains of a sort that are ground out hourly in their newsmill.
 People sometimes speak light ly of the country newspaper, but it is one of the most potent and uplifting factors in our national existence. The great dailies have their mission, but their scope is too big to touch

if Defeated.

BY the Associated Press.
~ HICAGO, January 23.-Second
place in the Western Confer
ence basket ball scramble will
be tossed up for grabs tonight
at Bloomington, Ind, were Wisconsin
and Indiana will meet.
Indiana started the week in a tie with
Purdue for first place, but returned
from an invasion of Michigan with a
As to 20 defeat. The Hoosiers, by win
ming, would go into sole possession of
second place, but defeat will send
them down into tie with Michigan
and Northwestern for fifth position.
The contest promises to provide Wis
consin's toughest test since It lost to
Northwestern in the first game Of the
season. The Badgers will be at dis
advantage in size, and probably in re-
serve power. Coach Walter Meanwelrs
reserves have failed to fit into his tricky
offensive system, and he has been
forced to work his regulars throughout
almost every game. The battle also
will bring together Bud Foster of the
Badgers, leading scorer of the league,
and Branch McCracken of Indiana,
who is close up in point collecting.
After Saturday nights card which
includes a little civil warfare at Chicago
between Northwestern and Chicago,
and Minnesota's journey to Ohio State,
examinations will cut down activity.
Three games are scheduled for next
week, Michigan meeting Minnesota and
Chicago, and Ohio State playing its
engagement at Minnesota.

runners are out on their feet from
about the fourteenth to the twenty
first mile. Then, with the cool of eve
ming, your powers return and you can
go busting along with new energy II
you have gagged your pace right.
II don't see how that Dorando ever
got anywhere near the finish line. He
must have followed the English runners
when they shot out in front at an I'M
heard-of pace soon after the start, only
to sprawl by the wayside before they
had covered Is miles. But Dorando
kept going and at 20 miles he was still
up ahead of me somewhere, and not far
behind him was the Irish policeman
from South Africa, Hebron.
II could hear the crowd yelling, Look
at this Yank, as fresh as q daisy. He
will go on and catch them sure, and
before long did pass Hebron. He was
running straight up and down in his
tracks with the look of a dead man on
his face.
you know how Dorando dragged
himself into the stadium and fell five
times before two officials helped him
not even injections of drugs which
were given to keep his heart going could
carry him across under his own power
and I was declared the winner.
at will never forget the cheer that
went up from the American stands as
trotted into the stadium. 1t sort of
bucked me up and carried me along to
the finish like a breeze.
Far from hurting me, think the
effort of that and other marathon races
built up q. reserve of stamina for me to
draw upon the quieter days, when my
athletic activity consists of stepping
around to sell canned foods. Life is
largely business now, but like to keep
