one-half cent an hour this modern
convenience can be provided in
most farm homes. "The average
farm laborer earns from twenty to
thirty cents an hour; why then
should the farmers family work
at the rate of a half-cent an hour?"
Broaddus said.
"The first step in installing farm
water system, where electricity is
available, is to put in an electrical
pump with at least one outlet to the
kitchen sink, and another outl't to
the barn for watering the stock.
After this is done the farmer can add
to his water system as his finances
permit. Within year or two a hot
water tank with facilities for heating
water can be added, and the next
addition, within year or two,
would be the installation of COM
plete bathroom, with a concrete tank
for sewage disposal"

Cooperative Vocational
Program Seen By Douglas
AS Solution For Youth

Cleveland, Ohio, March Alike
the pariahs of India, one-third OF
American youth between l6 and %
years OF age are educatonally ano

place in present day American life
DR.. Harl r. Dougless, kenan PrOfc5-
sor of Secondary Education and head
of the Division Of Teacher Educa-
ton at the University of North Car
DINA, said in address here today be-
fore the American Association OF
School Administrators.
DR.. Douglass pointed out that a
large group of underprivileged Am
erican youth today are meeting "a
firm unyielding resistance as we'll as
indifference on the part of groups
of adults which prevents them from
entering upon their rightful estate
There is no place in the schools for
the youthful untouchableS because
school people cling blindly to the
curriculum Of an earlier day which
is not intended for the needs and in
terests of this group of American
youth Union labor is opposed to com
petition from these young people,
The employment policies of business
and industry are based in no man.
ner upon any consideration for the
need of young people for employ
ment."
A cooperative vocational program
in which young people spend half Of
the day in school and half of it in
a business office, factory, or shop,
or half year in school and half on
the farm, is one solution for the edu-
cational implications of the present
social Embellishments that affect
youth, DR.. Douglass said.
Such plan, which is now in OPP
Grafton in more than 800 American
cities, would contribute to a safer
transition from school to vocational
and civic life, would provide a type
of training suited to the needs and
interests Of this particular group of
youth, and it would enable financial
ly rnderprivileged youth to continue
their education while earning some
money for self-support and for max
ing participation in normal social life
available to children of the poor, he
said
Work experience is as desirable
in the lives of most youths as book
experience. Many can no more be de-
prived of it safely than they can be
deprived of vitamins. In fact, one of
these times we are going to really
use our brains and work out a plan
Of gradual and safe induction of
youth into adult responsibilities
which will involve gradually expand

munity activities.
He went on to insist that 'employ-
ers, labor groups, schools, physicians,
dentists and all youth-serving agen-
cies must be made to face their re-
sponsibilities for developing in every
community adequate opportunities
for all youths to enjoy facilities for
continued education, participation in

Story of a Dream

The ruins of an ancient monastery
and the skeletons of three monks
have been discovered in a field at
the village Of Smirdon, near Vidin,
through a peasant woman's dream.
The monastery was burned by Turks
in the Fourteenth century. Behind
this discovery lies a story Of TRACE
dy. When the woman, stranger to
the village, first revealed her dream
the villagers jeered and the owner
of the field forbade excavations. In
revenge. she cursed him and his
family. She predicted that they
would die within a month, and at
the end of that time she would re-
turn and search for the monastery.
Everything happened according to
her prophecy. The landlord, his
wife, and his children died one by
one-then she returned. The villag-
ers, awestricken, obeyed her orders,
and the ruins of the monastery were
found exactly as she had described
them. The three skeletons were un-
earthed near the ruins, and various
iron implements and pieces Of pot
terry are still being brought to light.

made to destroy the ideals origin
ally setup by the members of the
legislature who promoted the board
of control act.
From the testimony produced be-
fore the committee it is quite evil
dent that there is general cause
for lamentation that the former
state administration descended to
such deplorable depths as to invade
the institutions for the unfortunate
and in SO doing penalized those
unable to defend themselves.
From all this tragic mess we
trust such public sentiment will
have been aroused as will cause
emulators Of such practices in the
future to be wary of invading these
sacred precincts on similar racket
eering missions.
We can see no reason why the
board of control act should be eth
err changed or modified, but may
hap we could draft such laws as
would make it a criminal offense
for those intent on destroying it's
high ideals and detectives.
Surely an intelligent electorate
can and should protect the states
unfortunates from the rapacious-
ness of designing and INSCRIPTIONS

Dueling Once
.Con1moninU S.
Some Famous Meetings
Had Tragic findings,
Others Merely Comic.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-America's
swashbuckling past echoed family
in the news recently, when a Mis-
souri, college officially repealed,
among other outmoded restrictions,
the 1860 ban on student duels.
''Dueling has been outlawed in the
United States since post-Civil war
days when the various states pro.
hibited it," points out the National
Geographic society. But the habit
Of settling differences Of honor, love
and politics by physical combat was
slow to die out. AS late as 1883, a
duel was recorded in Virginia when
two editors of opposing newspapers
had 1t out with bullets. Missing
on the first shot, they fred again,
when one was badly wounded.
Hamilton Versus Burr.
MANY famous Gas well as quite
few obscure) duels have had more
tragic endings, although some were
merely anticlimatic. Fatal to Alex
ander Hamilton, in 1904, was the one
in which he met his political rival,
Aaron Burr, when the latter was
vice president The handsome and
popular naval hero, Stephen Deca-
tur, died 16 years later, after duel
with James Barron, who also was
severely wounded. This meeting,
finally arranged after months of for
NAL correspondence, settled mis-
understanding that might have been
cleared up by simple explanation.
There was the duel, in 1926, be-
tween Henry Clay and John Ran
dolph Of Roanoke, following a clash
over the governments foreign pol
icy. At the appointed place, on the
Virginia side of the Potomac, both
men missed on the first shot; on the
second, Clay's bullet went through
the skirt of Randolph's coat. Ran
dolph fired into the air.
Jackson Had Many.
among other national figures
who took their quarrels to the field
Of honor Andrew Jackson was
credited by one chronicler in 1928
with list of 103 battles, including
'duels, fights, and alterations.
''Due to the anticlimax of poor
craftsmanship as well as to the wit
sometimes expressed on these seri-
GUS occasions by the participants in
the drama, duels have frequently
had a comic aspect. Mark Twain
wrote humorously on the subject;
while another wit who once declined
the honor of the affair Of honor
and was threatened by his irate
challenger with exposure in the
newspapers, remarked that he
would rather fill two newspapers
than one coffin"

Poland's Mountaineers
Resemble u. S. Hillbillies

In Poland a hillbilly is called q
Hucul, which is pronounced 'Hoot-
zool." The Polish version Of our
southern momtaineers wear far
more picturesque costumes than the
American highlanders. they are as
much addicted to the music Of the
fiddle and they are even more "sot"
in their ways, which are very quaint,
indeed.
A good many American travellers
have been acquainted with the HUI
culs in the past few years. Some
Of them penetrated the eastern Car
pathians as members Of art study
groups who haunt those mountains
every summer, and others were
tourists who ride cruising trains
that carry ski parties on eight-day
trips from Cracow into the remote
and beautiful regions where the
mountaineers live.
The Huculs live in the extreme
southeastern corner Of Poland, and
the highest mountain peak In their
region overlooks sea Of tall pine
forests, rugged peaks and deep river
valleys in four nations. Poland, Ru-
mania, Hungary and Czecho-Slova.
kia.
Besides weaving Navajo-like rugs.
the Huculs also wear Indian mecca
sins and carry tomahawks. How
ever, no one suspects that these SIM
ilarities in equipment denote any
connection with the North American
aborigines, unless it is conceded
that the Indians crossed Behring
straits into Alaska while the Hucul
branch migrated westward into Eu-
rope from a common starting place
IN Asia.

How High the HAIR

There could be no trouble about
starting conversation about high
hats so generally worn a few years
ago and now rather rare except for
strictly evening wear in full dress.
Ask the question, "How high is a
high hat?" There will be various
guesses. Here" you say to some
one in the crowd, take this pencil
and mark on the wal your idea Of
the height of high hat when placed
on the floor resting on its crown"
Get one after another to make his
mark on the wall and then get a
high hat and compare it with the
marks that have been made. To
the amazement and amusement of
those present all the marks will be
far too high and some will be double
the height of the headgear.

tant thing business man has is
the good will Of his customers. Ev-
cry business which has that is sue
cessful; every business which does
not have 1t fails.
Good will is not a mysterious
quality like genius. It is a simple,
commonsense matter depending
upon doing simple, commonsense
things.
The first of these consists Of Civ
ing good value and service, that
the business may win and hold
friends. The second consists of max
ing the fact that the business is the
kind which wins and holds friends
known to its customers, by telling
them Of its ideals and its services
and its merchandise.
This telling process is called ad-
vertising. Whenever q manufacture
er or q merchant advertises in the
newspaper he informs you that he
Is the kind of business man whom it
would pay you to patronize. He
makes public the fact that he wants
good will and that he realizes the
only way he can keep 1t is by living
up to his promises.
You as a customer get more for
your money when you patronize a
concern with good will. Good will
is proof that the concern has done
something to warrant the friendship
and confidence of its customers.
You see, good will doesn't just
happen. It is created-by good
goods, by good service, by good ad-
vertising.

POLITICIZING THE
UNFORTUNATES-
Detroit Lakes Record)

(Detroit Lakes Record)
Perhaps the most tragic and lam
entable matter to come before the
special legislative committee are
the charges anent the political rack
eteering within certain state insti-
tutions for the care of the unfor-
tunates, specifically-the School for
the Feeble Minded, at Faribault;
the Soldiers Home, at Minneapolis !;
and the State Tubercular institution
at Walker.
The charges range all the way
from incompetent management, po-
litical appointments, chiseling on
food purchases, discipline, etc. 1t is
not within the province of this
newspaper to pass comment on the
truth or falsity of the allegations,
but rather to deplore the fact that
there is any necessity for their
presentation at all. That there
did exist some foundation in fact
as their basis, seems quite gener-
ally agreed by those best advised.
Certainly politics has been ramp
ant and, this being conceded, all
other events follow as a matter of
course.
It is a sad and shameful finale
of the high ideals set up in 1901
when the state board of control
was established on strictly non-
partisan lines to manage the var
ious institutions on a purely bust
ness basis" Perhaps we should
congratulate ourselves that not un-
