uCoIDIER OF FORTUNE!" What does it
- mean and who is he? Why, 1t means,
take it, something individual and different to
every man and woman in whose blood the leap
of adventure runs.
So in a sort of preparatory minute, sit down
to make my own Soldier of Fortune" Old
history lessons contribute heroes of great
wars" Chivalry offers a shining knight, bent
to the succor of beauty in distress. Religion
advances the crusader upon his errand Of holi-
ness. Patriotism. the Iberator, engrossed in
human freedom. Old sea rovers assemble pirate
and buccaneer and marauder. All these I
gather up In my hand, to blend and knead and
mould into a man Of the day who might, just
possibly, qualify for the role pictured in my
mind for him. discard as untimely the clear
solicitation of shining armor and q "capari-
soned steed" and waving banner. I turn
deaf ear to the music of clanking saber and
silver saddle chains. These, quite out Of date.
Yet all told, I've in mind and eye a quite pleas
ing soldier of fortune.
Only then do I open this book, to meet at
the door of 1t the very straight glance of a
quiet-seeming gentleman who. save for some
slight concession to military mode Of dress,
might have been, WELL just anybody, caught
by the ubiquitous camera Of the moment. If
this be the true Soldier Of Fortune" certainly
have gone a romancing clear over the moon.
I have my doubts-of him, to be sure One
never doubts himself. And so sit down with
Gen. de Nogales by way of his memoirs. And
that unassuming picture turned out to be the
man himself. In the face, too of a good right
to be at least a bit expansive in the recital
Of his own adventures in life.

all over the world. Not in a mere uneasy row.

AGAINST THE SKY. BY Konrad Bercovici,
author OF THAT Royal Lover" New York:
Covici- -Friede, Publishers.
THE passion of this Rumanian Bercovici for
! the gypsies, their ways Of life and lore, is
common property. Readers already know how
these landless and houseless tribes have served
him. have been served by him, in many a
characteristic scene, incident, moving picture.
But here is this writer's first full novel on
the broad Romany motif.
Summer-long wanderings about the Empire
State, Winter quarterings in an East Side eel
lar of New York This, for background, across
which moves the love of Lol, daughter Of
Chief Petru, for the gorgio young Albert Van
Roehm, musician. An outlaw love, carrying
the deepest curse OF Romany tradition and
law story Of doom.
Readers generally know, in JOY, the vivid
and vigorous deliveries OF Bercovici upon
theme wherein his keenest dramatic sympa-
thies lie. This novel serves to emphasize anew
that gift Of his In turning words to things
that move bodily, coherent and ordered, into
the partaking consciousness Of the reader.
The first half-page of this novel exemplthes
that power. Reading, one wishes that all the
boys and girls, now writing best sellers" with
silly titles, would go to school to Bercovict-
No more than this haI-page lesson would open
up the true economy Of the man, his outstand-
ing sense of drama. Bercovici spends words
like a miser. He picks them like an expert
lingering precious gems He orders them to
precise bodies Of advance, to definite goals Of
fulfllment
Here, none Of the long and rambling pages
called descriptions and designed for settings
Here, never that jumbling together of vapid
personalities whose colorless behaviors are
made to stand for action advance culmina-
tion, but which, instead, keep the reader busy
untangling Jim from Joe and Mary from
Mabel So busy, indeed, that the whole to-do
seems not worth any more of effort
I call Konrad Bercovici a good scholar
upon whose attendance many a new writer
many an old one for that matter, might gain
a definite wherewithal OF vigorous and vivid
direction Of inventive writing.
However, after this long walk away, I come
back to say that Against the Sky" as dra-
matte invention alone. suggests the shadow

quite real. No matter. If it looked like 1t,
that was enough Away he went. II had to
pursue life lest life pursue me-" or in some
such words does this man open his philosophy
in pastial accounting of the deeds imposed
upon him by it.
Born on the Andean slopes. the young Rafael
early left his Venezuelan birthright-with the
ready consent of the government-to go world
faring. Up along the Rio Grande, cattle rust
ling, on to Alaska, gold hunting back again
to fight in Mexico. Adventures in China and
Africa. The World War, leading forces in
Armenia, directing deges there-but this is no
Homeric naming of the ships" so why pile
up names to indicate the number and variety
of this mans encounters with nfel An ad-
venturer? He says 'No"-but in the big and
thrilling sense of that term, advent.lrer Is
exactly what Rafael de Nogales is-,just as
every one of us would like to be-if only!
There is positive JOY in listening to this
he tells about it all. That is the i'm
preston of the memoirs Not reading at all
Listening instead. Sitting at the table, we
two, and the voice, quiet, pleasing, tolls off
the lists Of adventure and achievement as II
he were telling the tale of another. Humor,
quiet too, plays along with the accounting in
observations life and men-today's life and
today's men-in an indescribable effect of ripe
wisdom and sane thinking. AS much as he
is high adventurer in many field of strenuous
and daring life, so much is Rafeal de Nogales
a great writer. A scholar of discriminating
taste
An amazing book. If you want danger deep
and varied-here it is. If you love the hazards
of escape here they are. If you find added
joy in writing that measures up to the adven-
ture itself, here is your chance to gather it.
I'm not being extravagant. Quite the op-
posite, I'm being conservative, actually.

vocacy of the income tax but we now
have a governor who champions 1t.
We have been passing the buck to
future generations with bond issues
instead of adopting an income tax and
conducting our affairs more on a
basis of pay-as-yOu-go. If there was
any truth in the propaganda OF in
dustry moving from states that have
income taxes to states that have not
adopted such tax reform, where then
will they be going in the future when
more and more states adopt the in

One of the most important votes
at the general election in the state
of Minnesota on Nov. Sth, is to eX-
press a choice on the constitutional
amendment for the income tax, and
with that adopted by the voters the
legislature can pass law that will

After the Czech department was

PLEA OF A DISABLED
VETERAN
Friends and Fellow Voters:

Friends and Fellow Voters:
Do you remember in 1917 when
two days after war was declared
and the 3rd division of the Ma
val Militia left Pine City under
command of Robert Wilcox, you
all said, There's nothing too
good for our boys" Now, friends,
here is a chance to show you
really meant that, and when you
go to the polls to vote November
9Th, cast your vote for Robert
M. Wilcox, for Judge of Probate.
Past experience has proven to
you that he is the man most eff
ficient, most qualified and best
fitted for that office.
In 1917 when the married men
were mustered out at Phi 'adel-
phia, he did not ask for exemp-
ton but stayed with his boys
for more than thirty months and
let me tell you, fellow voters, he
has been with the boys" ever
|since-assisting the disabled vet
eran, helping the worthy to get
their compensation and netting
out justice where it belongs.
Many papers has he certified
for the veterans and when asked
the fee he always refused with
this little reply, The county
pays me salary"
If you will read through the fl
nancial report of years gone by,
you will note that Robert Wilcox
has had scarcely any expense con-
nected with his office other than
the salary due him. Friends, that
alone is an important item to con-
slider.
Now | can't get out and cam
paign for Bob" the way I'd like,
to because, you see, l gave the
best I had, namely, my health
for Uncle Sam during the war,
so l am asking you to carry out
the campaign for me, fellow vo-
tiers, and cast your vote for Rob-
ert M. Wilcox on Tuesday, No
vember 9Th, for Judge of Probate.
