PAGE EIGHT ws* gfOfifimi Twentieth Century UHlTEtf r.p .1^' At First Sigh^-. "Half-Million to See World's Greatest Fair" reads the headline of a recent Minneapolis Journal. At first glance it might be construed to mean that it might cost a fellow that much to see it. But if it did, we'll bet it would be worth it. Only A Small Bet, Though Birds of A Feather A couple married in England re cently bore the names of Willing and Wise.. After reading the first name, we can see why they did it, but after reading the second name we still wonder why. What's In A Name? Postmaster Surprised A woman called at the post office in a Maine town the other day and surprised the postmaster with this announcement: "I am going away and don't know how long I shall be gone. If ariythmg comes for me you will please tear it up." And from that we would judge that the post office in that town would be a poor place for a fellow to go looking for her. Can You Beat It?

You Tell 'Em It Wont Be Lons Now!! CREAMERIES MAKE BIG SAV1NCS ON FRflfflT (Farm Bureau News Service) Savings in freight rates on 1,266 carloads of butter, shipped through the Minnesota Co-operative Creamr eries association in its first year of active marketing wdrk, amount to $180,000. The association announced today that economies in freight charges, brought about by shipping in carTdtS, amount to more than twice the total cost of operating the organization. In other words, according to A. J. McGuire, general manager, the say ings in freight rates already have paid back to the co-operative cream eries and their patrons more tlian the cost of the state agency, so that the other activities of the organiza tion actually cost the farmers hdth ing at all. The membership of the association totals 335 co-operative creameries. The state agency, launched last year, already covers all but five of the 86 counties in Minnesota. Four teen expert field men are at work helping creameries to improve the quality of their product to command higher prices, and to market in car load lots at lower transportation costs.

She thinks herself very Clever, but as a rule she is the baby of the pair, and If it comes to a struggle where one must outwit the other, the man will usually prevail if he puts his mind to anything so futile. If women often beat men at the game of intrigue, it Is mainly because men can't be bothered they're generally thinking of something else. "That Is the central point. Most men, when they reach the shadow line, are infinitely more interested in their am bitions, in their career, in the making of money, than in the quest for love. They have passed through all that, if they are lucky, and If .they have not passed through It, love encounters for midable rivals. I am sure that this day many lonely women are bitterly say ing, 'What's a woman by the side of a career?'"Harper's Magazine.

In t&e Day's News George Gavan Duffy, one of the triumvirate which for the time being is to direct the affairs of the Irish Free State government, is the grand son of the famous Sir Gavin Duffy, one of the brilliant galaxy of 48 men who became famous in Irish affairs during the 19th century. George Gavan Duffy first came into notice when as a member of the le gal profession in London, he took charge of the defense of Sir Roger Casement. From that time he began gradually to associate himself with the Republican movement in Ireland, and through his friendship with De Valera received an appointmeht as ambassador to Paris. He came into the front rank of Irish affairs when the French government requested nim to leave France. Duffy return ed to Ireland when the truce was es tablished and plunged deeply into the affairs of the Republican move ment. He, was a prominent figure in the negotiations with Lloyd George and one of the signers of the Treaty of London bir which the Free State was estab'lfsned. Sewer System 3,500 Years Old. In the palace of the Cretan kings of Knossos (about 1500 B.C.) were bathrooms and a drainage system that astonished the excavators. When we reinember that even London and Paris hid no sewage systems in the days of Queen Efizaheth, we certainly should hot expect such a thing in a forgotten civilization of thirty-five hundred years ago. Yet experts tell us the drains of this ancient palace were superior to anything known afterward in history until the middle of the Nineteenth century.Joseph McCabe Id "The Evolution oi Civilization."

SAYS TREES WILL THRIVE IF GIVEN PROPER CARE Fargo, Sept. 1.Because nature did not scatter trees generously, over the North Dakota prairies is no proof that the plains cannot be relieved by cultivation, A- F. Yeager, horticul turist at the Agricultural college, points out, speaking from experi ments. Trees do well in all parts of the state if given proper care, Yeager has discovered. Becatise of the comparatively light moisture the proper care of trees dates back two years before planting, at which time the soil should be broken. Willow wind breaks on the north and west are advisable, and cultivation in early stages essential," in order that weeds and grasses do not steal the mois, ture, all of which is needed by the young trees.
