DIZZY TEMPO OFLIFE
BRINGS UNHAPPINESS

HE neurosis Of hurry, the urge
i TO be someplace else, in short,
the general tempo of the times are
largely responsible for the world
unhappiness of today, according to
Benjamin DeCasseres, writer phil
osopher. Many people feel that the
unhappiness is DIE to the times. Mr..
DeCasseres feels that the times are
due to the unhappiness.
"The trouble with people is that
they have no Fairgrounds in their
souls. They are emotionally meat
less, wine-less and often nearly SEX
less" writes Mr.. DeCasseres in the
March Cosmopolitan.
"The first thing the art of enjoy
ment teaches is slow motion. The
faster you travel the less you will
see. The less we see, the smaller the
intake in our emotional life. Enjoy
ment consists of slipping, not in
gulping. Nowadays, we bite off
chunks of pleasure instead of
nibbling."
Unconsciously, people have al
lowed themselves to be caught in
an ever-increasing-in-speed kaleido-
scope. To get off the erry-go-round
that is whirling the world into dis
aster will require conscious effort.
Taking ones business problems into
ones play or leisure hours is habit
that must be abandoned before the
benefits Of enjoyment may be felt.
Inversely, taking play hours into
business cuts down on business eff
ficiency, robs people of the solid
enjoyment to be derived from a good
job well done. People are apt to
exclaim over old works of art and
comment that such objects only
have been produced by some one
who loved his work; concertgoers
tell each other earnestly that only
a violinist who lived for his art could
produce such unexcelled virtuosity.
Yet they 60 on in their daily lives,
fretting that each action is delaying
the process of taking up the next
action.
"The tragedy of most people,"
continues Mr.. DeCasseres, "is that
they are bored, always seeking
something beyond the newness of
the passing moment. There is no
other moment bur that passing mo

ADVERTISING'S
NO MYSTERY

He continued to advertise In the
newspaper. His business continued
to grow. He couldn't know all his
customers by name now, of course,
but they felt that they could buy
from him with confidence because
he had been recommended to them
by another friend whom they had
always trusted.
This other friend who recommend
ed John Slattery was the newspaper
which carried his advertising.
Whatever you read in the news
paper you naturally feel you can be-
Heve, because you know that repu-
table newspaper will not accept ad-
vertising from any but honest and
reliable concerns.
Because this young man starting
in business made use of that aid he
built his business. AS his business
grew he was able to give his Gus
toners better service and more for
their money.
Although few of the persons read
Ing his advertisements and becom-
ing his customers realised II, they
were all indebted to the Newspaper
for its service In bringing to their
attention An opportunity Of getting
more fer their money by publishing
advertisements Of this enterprising
young man.

same way every day. by bringing
information Of where we can buy
most advantageously. by helping us
to find what we want at the lowest
possible prices.

Pine City To Build
New Grade School

The voters of Pine City school dis
trict No. 3, last Friday evening, Jan
uary 26, authorized the school board
to proceed with the erection of a grade
school building to replace the build
ing destroyed by fire on January g.,
1889. The vote was SO for and only
six against. At the time the build
ing burned, $4,000 was collected in
insurance. Later a grant of $37 500
in WPA funds was secured and late
in December the state allotted SIS, 1000
SO that a total of $92, 500 will be avail
able for the project. Four thousand
dollars of the insurance money was
expended by the district for furni-
ture and fixtures to equip rooms for
grade classes during the emergency.
The vote, although required by
law, was not vote involving bond
issue and it is thought that no fur
ther bond issue will be necessary
to construct the new building. Plans
for the new building call for rooms
to care for the eight grades and a
part of the junior high school, with
the necessary shops and laboratories
to accommodate classes under the
present junior high school arrange
ment.

Uranium Is By-Product
In Processing of Radium

While the mineral resources of
Canada seem ineXhaustible, the en-
terprise with which she is develop
ing those resources and applying the
fruits of research to the more varied
uses of the minerals are equally i'm
pressive. An example is provided
by uranium, of which Canada is now
an important source. It is used,
among many other purposes, as a
coloring agent in the production of
certain shades of yellow and deep
orange in glazes and glass.
Uranium is obtained as a by
product in the processing of radium
from pitchblende, and after the dis
covery and development of the rich
deposits of pitchblende in the Great
Bear lake area and the erection of
a refinery at Port Hope, Ontario,
it entered the world markets, says
Canada's Weekly. Its entry into the
ceramic field was achieved by the
cooperation of private research
workers and the laboratory experts
of the department of mines and re-
sources.
In recent years the popularity of
the bright orange color which it pro-
duces has increased considerably,
particularly for such articles as bun
galow tableware, tiles, jugs and
bowls, and art pottery.
The new chemical plant for the re-
covery of radium, at Port Hope, was
erected by the Eldorado Gold Mines,
Ltd. There the ore from the mine
is treated. Recovery for uranium
was about 80 per cent.

Price On Cattle
HitLower Levels
Most Killing Classes Csc
Off; Hogs Up and Down;
Lambs 4Oc to SOC Down.

South st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 80,
1910: Slightly increased supplies of
marketable cattle and the fact that
prices of beef products stand rela-
lively high as compared with some
competing meats, such as pork and
lamb, together with recent weakness
in other lines of business brought
fresh declines in the cattle trade this
week. Most killing classes, accord
ing to the Federal-State Market News
Service, lost around Csc and the I'M
dertone remained weak at the de-
cline. Few good finished steers and
yearlings arrived. Replacement stock
sold about Csc lower, but vealers held
at steady levels. Most killing steers
and yearlings were kinds selling at
$500 to $3.50, best yearlings up to
1925. Very few heifers were good
enough to get over $3.50, with COM
mon lots ranging down to $3.50 Good
cows made $500 to $3.50, Gamers and
cutters $3.75 to $4.75. Practical top
for sausage bulls dropped to S625.
Medium to good stock steers sold at
$3.50 to $3.50. Good and choice veal
ers made $3.50 to $11.OO, strictly
choice $11.50.
Hog prices advanced substantially
Monday due to broad local demand,
but the upturn caused top-heavy
position here and the market sagged
on Tuesday. Compared with Friday
of last week, current levels are steady
to 10c lower, but the trade is still
fully steady to a little stronger than
Saturdays weak finish. On Tuesday
shippers paid $40 for choice light
hogs while packers went to S5.35 on
good and choice 16O to $50 pound
weights. Sows also rose and fell, but
declines outdistanced advances and
current sales at S4.15 to $4.2O were
fully 15c under last Friday.
Fat lambs suffered a 4Oc to SOC
price decline as result of liberal
marketings and fresh declines in the
wholesale trade. Slaughter ewes and
feeding lambs were steady to slightly
lower, with the demand for replace
ment lambs broad. Good and choice
