A dentist by trade. but . politician
BY inclination and instinct. this son Of
Norwegian immigrant holds . posi-
ton of power and influence now in the
councils Of the Nation. With party lines
in the Seventy Congress drawn
so closely, 1t may be that he win hold
the balance Of power.
His position is unique. A Farmer
Laborite he Is his own party IS far rs
the Senate is concerned
He has been called radical but
his record as q Senator fails to prove
the charge to many persons.
When he was seriously III two years
ago, his Republican colleague, the blind
Senator Schall. called on the whole
State to pray for his recovery.
He is not Republican" said SchaIl,
but he has been q fighting Senator
for Minnesota and Is one OF the ablest
men in Congress"
A big man physically, more than
feet tall. he has blue eyes and his light
hair is almost entirely gray. Before HIS
illness, which has stubborniy handi-
capped him, he weighed 1876 pounds.
He is serious in manner and IN
thought. His somewhat lAharieAs
speeches in the Senate reflect his sober
attitude.

One Of the great advantages Of a
soiourn of six months or more in a
tuberculosis hospital or sanatorium for
any patient Is the knowledge of this
aseptic technic the patient acquires
there. This knowledge goes back home
with the patient and 1t serves to pro-
tect all those who come into intimate
association with the patient and with
out this valuable knowledge the patient,
even though he be ever so conscien-
tious, could not Pive his friends this
assurance.
In the incipient or beginning stage
of hung tuberculosis there are no tu-
bercle bacilh given of, and hende
the patient cannot spread the disease.
But who can tell when incipiency has
passed and the second stage arrives,
in which the germs are constantly
given of, and the patient may infect
others?

Everyday Psychology
Fictitious Self.

Very few people. know themselves.
In all probability, no one actually does
know himself. Self-consciousnesS is the
feeling person has when the fictitious
picture he has built up of himself is
thrown upon the screen of public scru-
tiny. Those who have stage fright are
aware for the moment that their ficti-
tious selves are being exhibited and they
fear that some of the fiction may be
exploded. SO 1t appears that the most
important factor in persons fictitious
self is his so-caled social self" what
he wants others to think of him.
DR.. Alfred Adler is author of the
theory that every person lives f1cti-
tious life. He. pictures the individual as
unconscious of the aims and urges
which shape and determine his con-
duct He calls them imaginary goals"
and fictitious guiding lines" He says
that these goals are set up very early
IN life; that the individual, as a child,
realizes he Is weak: that he cannot make
his adjustments alone. So the child
makes up for the facts of reality by as
Stunning abilities he does not possess. A
fictitious picture of the self Is the re-
suit.
There is a great deal to be said in
favor Of the Adlerian theory of the fic-
tttfous self Weakness and compensa-
ton for it have a lot to do with what
people think of themselves. His theory
will account for all sorts of class dis
tinctions which people try to make.
The curious fact about the fictitious
self lis that it has three dimensions. It
exists in the present, refers to the past
and projects into the future Success
full people pay little attention to their
past. Paint your picture of yourself out
of present materials and you will come
close to representing yourself as you
are.

PARASOL ANTS.

v you should see q procession OF
" parasol or umbrella ants, each
with her leaf banner, marching
4 two by two and guarded on
each side by soldier ant They
march sedatsly along a beaten path
from the source Of supplies, usually
live oak tree, back to the entrance
gates of their own city.
These ants build mounds at the en-
trance to their homes, something like
huge pound cakes. But the reason for
the unusual amount of sand or dirt at
their doorway is that it is simply the
result of excavations carried on several
feet below.
Great hordes of workers set forth day
or night from their home and climb
the trees to get the leaves they need to
start a bed CT fungus growth. These
ants are the famous mushroom grow
ers This is their staple food and all
partake of 1t. Sugar and other foods
viii not be refused by them. 1t is evil
IDENTIFY enjoyed greatly. but mushrooms
that they know so well how to grow are
the serious business of the day.
After the worker reaches the tree
she climbs it at once, and with her very
sharp jaws she works around the base
of the leaf, turning her body as she
works until the last snip is taken.
Sometimes she comes down the tree
trunk with her leaf and starts for home
with it. Always workers are ready at
the same time to march along with at
tending guards.
At other times the leaf cutter will
drop them and her assistants will either
pile them In a neat little pile at the
base of the tree or take them home.
There are no loafers, that is sure.
When an ant picks up the leaf to
walk home with it she picks it up in
her curved jaws and gives her head
toss. It not only falls over her head
but rests in a tiny furrow along the
center of her face and back. Upon
reaching the city gates she goes right
in and down the long covered roadway
to the mushroom beds. Here the leaves
are deposited. You may see gray pile
in one corner of the great chamber or
large, sponge-like patches.
Experts chew the leaves and mix them
with juices from the ants bodies or
take some of the growth from one bed
and pat it carefully into the fresh
leaves with front feet. Later clusters

The armory was filled to compacity
with the friends and relatives of the
graduates, when the seniors marched
in. The Rev. Lorenzo Johnson gave
the invocation which was followed by
a song entitled Good Bye Old High
sung by a senior octet. The Valedic-
tory was given by Eleanor Benda
whose high average in her four years
work entitled her to this honor.
Professor T. E. Rankin, of Carleton,
college, gave the Address of he eve
ming, and it was very scholarly dis

the Importance of books and stated
that there were very few really good
books. He condemned the modern

his listeners to read good books and
promote their reading by others.
Superintendent Jones presented the
class and the diplomas were given
out by Clifford Perkins of the school
board. The salutatory honors were
evenly divided between three mem
