 The Play
 While North has bid nve dih- monda and holds eight of them. don't forget that South was the first for his side To bid diamonds. and therefore becomes the de- oarer and must play the hand without holding a diamond.
 West opened the king of clubs. which is Inc proper play when holding acc and kiDg~~the king iB led to show tho ace.

Court in the land. Notable among these is
Charles Evans Hughes, now chief justice. He
was, it was true, associate justice of the high
court prior to 1916 when he resigned to be-
come the Republican candidate for the Pres
idency.
1t is quite generally admitted that the
large corporations are not enthusiastic over
the candidacy of Mr.. Michels. He hasn't any
corporation background. His every affilia-
ton has been with middle and poorer classes.
Senator Schal returned to Minnesota
last week and gave very long list of District
Judges and prominent lawyers of the State
who had recommended Mr. Michel.
There are strong forces, newspaper and
otherwise, who are in about the same posi-
ton relative to Mr.. Schall that Senator Nor
ris is with President Hoover. They will OPP
pose every recommendation made by Mr..
Schall
Mr. Michel has also been Endorsed by
Senator Henrik Shipstead, and every mem

ERNEST MICHELS, STRONGLY INDOORS.
ED FOR FEDERAL DISTRICT JUDGE

For nearly year Minnesota has been
entitled to an additional Federal District
Judge.
Months ago Senator Thomas Schall re-
commended the appointment of Ernest
Michels, formerly of Marshall, Mimi, and
now well known Minneapolis attorney.
Opposition soon developed against Mr..
Michels, largely, the Herald believes, because
the candidate is law partner of Tom Davis
The appointment has failed to receive
the recommendation of Attorney General
Mitchell, Minnesota man.
Recently the claim that Mr.. Michels has
not had previous judicial experience has been
one of the strong arguments used against his
appointment.
The records in Minnesota and the Fed
eral government, hardly bear out this con-
tention. Sam Wilson, chief justice Of Min
nesota, was appointed without having served
his apprenticeship as District Court Judge
He has made an efficient officer. Practically

BUILDING-LOAN GROWTH

This month marks the Tooth anniver-
sary of the first building and loan associa-
ton in America, which was organized on the
evening of January 8, 1881, by group of
citizens in Frankfort, Pa, now suburb of
Philadelphia.
The institution then formed took the
name Oxford Provident Association, and the
house on which it's first loan of $500 was
made is still standing.
During the century which has elapsed
since the idea was first put into practice,
building and loan associations have had a
remarkable growth, especially in the last
few years. There are now more than 1000
such associations in the United States with
nearly 13 naillion members, and assets of
more than eight billion dollars Total assets
are eight times as great as they were 20
years ago.
These associations have been generally
very successful, and have enabled many
thousands of people to own their homes who
would have been unable to finance them 9TH
erwise.

Advises Use of Slogan
to Overcome Detection

Slogans are advocated as an aid
to healthy mental outlook by
James D. Weinland, who considers
their effect and lists a number In
an article in Hygeia Magazine.
A good slogan can brighten our
whole horizon, fill us with courage
and be an enormous stimulus. It
directs and holds the attention to
q bracing thought. For instance,
when a man is down In the dumps
It Is comforting to think that "the
men who try to do something and
fail are infinitely better than those
who try to do nothing and succeed"
or that 'there are more chances and
opportunities in life than we know"
There are slogans hidden away
In the worlds literature that fit al
most any mood or desire, says Mr..
Weinland. Proverbs are rich In
them. Poems are jeweled with
them. Each person must select the
ones that mean most to him. Used
at the right time the words can
penetrate like sharp dart into
mood and dissipate It. They act
like a bugle call marshaling the
forces Of resolution and ordering
them into action.

One Of them. pale child who
looked as If sunlight and vege-
tables were not part Of her daily

logue. In a high pitched, excited
voice she was describing bed

gift to the child's mother.
"It's so beautiful, like sunshine.
All smooth and golden. It's like
that. Look here!"

asked.
The woman had visions of a poor
back apartment into which the sun
never peeped. To its occupants
that golden bedspread stood for
every luxury of life. The Woman
looked from the happy face of the
child to the spread. Perhaps it was

French Enjoy Fishing

No fewer than 10000 fishermen
took part in competition and con-
gress which was held at Vichy,
writes the Paris correspondent Of
the London Sunday. Observer. The
number is not only sufficient to
show what a placid person the
Frenchman really is-at least when
he reaches a certain age-but also
that he has a natural passion for
sport. I do not mean sport as he
understands the word, for he does
not really care about names, but
sport in the sense of shooting and
fishing. Game shooting Is far more
a pursuit Of the whole people Of
France than in England, and there
Is hardly a middle-aged Frenchman
who is not fisherman.

So the old year just gone is liable
to prove in the long run a mighty
beneficial year after all. It may
