Old Romans Used Wells
as Their RefriRerators

Deep wells, which are supposed to
have been the primitive iceboxes or
refrigerators used by the ancient
Romans for icing drinks, were dlscov-
cred during archaeological excavations
In Rome, according to the Italy Amer
lea society
Naturally the refrigerators, which
were not operated by either gas or
electricity, were very elementary.
They consisted Of an underground de-
posit of snow which played a very
valuable role In the ritual Of drinking
at Roman banQuets. Trimalcion, the
typical new rich and after-dinner
speaker of the day, represented by
Petronus In his famous novel, "Saty-
ricon," had iced drinks ut all his BAN
quets. OF course he was not bothered
by prohibition agents and he was
looking Cor publicity when he dis
played before his guests the great
frozen amphorae In his magnificent
home which was not speakeasy.
In regard to this discovery It Is
worth recalling that history tells OF
EllOgabaIus, the effeminate emperor
In the period Of the empires decline,
who used to employ numberless slaves
to fill his "lceboxes" with snow during
the winter In order to have plenty OF
cold drinks for even the warmest
days of summer. ..E

at the young pair gazing at each

Indian, 135, Is Located by
Minnesota Census Taker
Located in st. Louis County Near
Indian Border-May Be
Oldest Man

An Indian, Joe Robinson, who
claims to be 135 years old and to
have been born two years before
George Washington completed his
second term as president of the
United States, has been placed on
the census rolls of the Duluth dis
trict, Clarence o. Tormoen, census
supervisor stated Saturday.
"Old joe" as the ancient abort
CINE is known, was enrolled by Will
liam Henley, of Duluth, enumerator
in the townships which abut on the
Canadian border in st. Louis coun-
ty. Henley returned and reported
discovering the Indian, who may
prove to be the oldest living per-
son in the nation.
Robinson was found in township
6S-15 living on a small island in
Lac Croix through which lake the
international boundary runs. He
told the enumeration through an in
terpreter that he was a Sioux and
had lived on the island for 60 years.
He is blind and almost deaf. Ac-
cording to Henley he saw two
scalps, apparently those of white
men, hanging in Robinson's birch
bark wigwam. The border Indians
still live in bark tepees and use
bark canoes for fishing and travel.

A NECKTIE FOR FATHER
Grand Rapids Herald Review

We that fathers day is scheduled for June Is.
It is perfectly proper that fathers day should
come after mothers day. Mother is first all of the
time
When her day comes we wear flower. That
is nice tribute. Mother has natural connection
with flowers. More of them ought to be worn in her
honor.
Nothing can be said about mothers Some
times they play bridge. Sometimes they talk about
the neighbors. But how much mother knows? She
knows how to cook and sew, how to make one dol
lar do the work of two In these days she knows
much more. She applies science to the art of rails
ing family. She knows all about the Boy Scouts
and the of activities in which children are
engaged. Mother is very, very wise.
Thus it is that fathers day comes sort of an
anti-climax.
Father is good old scout. He does lot for
the family. He gives mother and the children most
of what he and the older he gets the less he
for himself. But he is not two three with
mother. He understands his boys only in rather
half hearted sort of way His interest in the home
is quite likely to be much concerned with his own
comfort. When night comes he thinks that he had
done days work
But father has some real virtues He is good
old scout, deserving little thought. Give him q
necktie

THE DEMAGOGUES

Although this is an 'off year" in politics,
so-called because there is no national cam
paign for president and vice-president, there
will be plenty of interest in contests for state
offices and for membership in both houses of
Congress. All members of the House and
one-third of the Senate will be chosen in cleo
tions this year.
Politicians of every sort will make their
appeal to the "dear people" for support on
one preteXt or another. And, as always, the
den1ag ogues will be out in full force.
Webster defines a demagogue as zone
who plays an insincere role in public life for
the sake of gaining influence or office; a
poser in politics, especially one who panders
to popular prejudice or seeks to infame rea-
sonless passions in the advancement of his
personal interests"
1t is reflection upon the intelligence
and judgment of a great percentage of voters
that they are apparently unable to size up
the demagogue for what he is. They listen
to his rawlings and swallow his insincere
promises with avidity. His widest state
ments and most irresponsible representations
are often accepted at face value-and he gets
the votes.

MERCHANTS WIN BY FIGHTING FOR
BUSINESS
st. Peter Hera

In commenting recent Herald editorial
which told of a Southern Minnesota Independent
groceryman having done 100000 business last
year. the LIE Sueur Herald has the following peril
nent remarks to make: "Some merchants too
easily frightened, but others fight and put UP good
fight too. They let the public know what they
have for sale, and what the price is. The average
man always trades in his town, and goes to the
merchant that offers the best inducement There is
no sentiment in buying goods, it's a cold-blooded
business transaction, that's all. But most men will
go to the store that makes the greatest effort to get
business they like that trait in firm for it draws
trade from a long distance. AS rule people are
more interested in their town than they are in indi-
viduas, therefore the most popular business man is
the one that works hardest for his community, his
town. There are some who work "a hours day
boosting their town and making effort to get more
trade and there who do not put in "a hours
in "a years working for their community, they just
lay low, and grab something others have pulled in.
They call that being thrifty.
