Mercury BeIOlD Zero;
Boy Goes Through Ice.

Breckenridge-Virgil Matheson will
never believe in the thermometer as a
gauge for the strength of the ice in the
Red River after his experience. Virgil
is a student of the North Dakota State
School of Science at Wahpeton and
thought he would make short cut from
school by walking across the Red River
at the Wahpeton Park. He had reached
the center of the river when the ice
gave way and he sank in the cold water
up to his waist. 1t is believed that the
sewers which empty into the river were
the cause of the thinness of the ice.

Grove Wills, Eveleth, named co-chair-
man of the range campaign against the
per capita bill, declared that long
time study of the complete range situ-
alton, including unemployment, relief,
and industries, is necessary to fair,
equitable legislation. Grove made a
hit with his statement and it may have
the effect of diverting the argument and
the appointment of longtime COM
mittee to study the subject.
Six range legislators in st. Paul, after
a conference Monday issued q state
ment in which they claimed an unlimit-
ed boycott has been organized against
business firms and merchants in Min
nesota where they believe house men,
bers and senators are supporting the
Weber arley bill.
A joint statement signed by Senators
George Lommen and Richard Kelly and
Representatives william Berlin, Oscar
Widstrand, w. j. Hutala and Thomas D.
Vukelich issued Monday at st. Paul,
reads:
"Never in the history of the range
have people of all factions and politi-
calls beliefs banded together in such
units a sthey have in the past week,
seeking to defeat the Weber-Ca per
capita limitation bill. Practically every
citizen in this wide area has taken up
the fight to make his power felt where
ever his dollar is being spent in Min
nesota. Approximately 100000 people
who make up the ranges have in the
last few days organized an unlimited
boycott against every establishment
jobbing and wholesale, in the state
where they believe house members and
senators are intending to vote for the
bill

seen evidence of substantial cancella-
tions of merchandise orders effected by
the range merchants and number Of

Already Republican women's club
and other conservative groups art
flooding us with demands that this bill
be stopped and that the governor full
fill the promise made in his campaign
that he would veto any measure of Thu
kind which would injure the economic
status of range citizens.

Lord: the humble shall hear there

Bridges'?"
He got a response signed "Style-
sie."
Since then Senator Bridges name
has appeared in the congressional di-
rectory as "Styles Bridges" Look in
the last directory and you'll see it so.
Three-Barrelled Names.
For some reason or other this rule
seems to hold pretty good generally.
A middle initial isn't so bad; it
isn't so conspicuously unusual and
tony.
A three-barrelled name also will
pass muster.
Nevertheless Franklin Delano
Roosevelt hasn't the punch to it that
Theodore Roosevelt had, and Frank
lin D. Roosevelt isn't as satisfactory
to the White House as Franklin
Delano or mere Franklin.
By the name token Vice President
Garner prefers John Nance" to
"John NJ"
This pair got their middle names
SO effectively incorporated into the
record that they can't get them out
at this late day; they would if they
could manage it.
Two names seem to have more pep
in them than a larger plurality.
Woodrow Wilson originally was
"Thomas Woodrow" but he succeed
ed in unloading the 'Thomas" be-
fore he became nationally promi-
nent Herbert Hoover was Herbert
Clark Hoover" T. Woodrow Wilson
would have been an anti-cllmaX.
Herbert G. Hoover wouldn't have
been so gingery, either, as Herbert,
minus a middle name. AL Smith
means more than AL E. Smith. "E.
takes the individuality out of it.
How would w. George Washing
ton sound? Or ]. Thomas Jefferson?
Or H. Abraham Lincoln? U. S. Grant
got away with it, but he was an eX-
ceptiOn.
Up-tO-Date Initials.
l think Styles Bridges was well ad-
vised to eliminate "H'' from his Of
ficial designation.
Once we had an assistant secretary
of state named A. A. Adee.
One day he had occasion to call
up another government functionary
on the telephone.
''This," he said, "is Adee speak
ing"
''Who?" said the other, II don't
catch the name. How do you spell
it,"
"a" said Adee.
"Yeah?"
a." continued Adee.
COX. What next?"

ooh, -!'' yelled the other
functionary. And hung up in fury.
So initials are quite significant.

state, city and individual, grown soft.
There is evidence aplenty that the
country is becoming "reactionary"
enough to accept the conditions pre-
cedent to an 80 billion dollar income.
Popular polls indicate a desire to re-
turn to the common sense policies
and practices that gave us, not only
an 80 billion dollar income, but, along
with it, that sense of the dignity and
worth of the individual, to which the
historian Morley referred, that made
