The paint tip campaign will go on until tin' job is finished. We needed the rains this week worse than we needed the paint but we will sure go on with the work of brightening the Store fronts aud making this the best appearing city in the middle west. We congratulate the members of . the senior class of the high school j on lite publication of an annual that i excels anything of the kind ever before put out in this city. It is a story of the final year in high school for| these youngsters, well told in verse and picture and will be treasured j even more in twenty years than now. Senator Samuel M. Ralston will de-1 liver the graduating lecture to the Berne high school seniors and their friends at the commencement exercises to be held next Friday evening. He is a broad man who will bring a message of worth while common sense to the class and to those who attend the important event. We can't see any more sense to an "invisible government" than we can to a man having two wives. They! are certain to clash and cause a turmoil which will result in trouble

Was he a suit-id'', mordol' d, or was ho a victim of a band of hazing students? Young Mount’s niol.her believes he was killed. President Scott of Northwestern university believes Mount killed himself. Young Mount vanished iu the height of a hazing season—September, 11121. A few week ago his skeleton was found buried under a ton of rocks below a pier in Michigan. Authorities say the body w-as in such a petition that it. must have been placed there. Bitter feeling has developed as a result of the various attitudes. • Mrs. Mount charges the univefsitv covered up” to prevent any sensational inquiry. A student told the grand jury that Proxy Scott ordered him to lay off searching for Mount pud not to talk about Mount’s disappearance. Scott denied this.

and disaster. A community pulling together is like a smooth running machine. It produces to the best advantage and is always more kitisfaclory. Tomorrow is an important date— Mothers Day—when we all pay ottr re pects to those dear women we call by the sweetest name in all the world —Mother. Say it with flowers, bit better yet, say it with words. If mother is living, see her if you can and if not give her a message of love. We are sure that means more to her than anything else and when accompanied by flowers or a gift is just that much sweeter. This community will extend a hearty, sincere and continued welcome to Gideon Gerber and his sons . ie will build and operate a ladder factory in this city. Mr. Gerber and i s sens are the kind of men who do tilings. There is no blustering or v id promises on their part. They' v ill start sinall and build, the kind ,' a concern which eventually makes a community. We hope for them erything good and confidently beI've they will soon be a real part i; fliis city. They will begin building within two weeks and expect to I ■ ■ operating by September Ist. The National League of Women Vot-

ers, evidently out of something to do, devoted considerable time to picking who they believe to be the twelve greatest American women. We don't agree with them in their choice, neither do you. The greatest American women arc those who have struggled through years of poverty and raised a family often without the aid of a husband, have cheered those children, educated them, taught them religion and made good citizens of them. You don't know their names but you do know they have accomplished more than those who have devoted their years and talents to a study of the stars, politics, the stage and other forms which gain more publicity. Men and women who were lured from one job to another in 1920 when there wks such a turn-over in labor and some factories did not know from one day to another how much help they would have, arc not likely to make the same mistake now that was made then in many cases. But memory Is short; and besides there are those who had no experience in that period, and may care for a word of counsel now. Wages are high i and in some cases cities are bidding for labor. If a man has a good job he had bettor keep it. Let those who are unemployed, if there be any such, take the new jobs and establish themselves. Those who flit from one job to another every time an intease in wages is offered are likely to find that such wages and employment are temporary. All-the-year round, steady employment is likely j ■n the end to prove more profitable i than half a dozen temporary jobs. I Unfortunately, in many cases, experience alone will be the only acceptable teacher; but there arc many cases where the lesson can be learned, without experience, that the fellow that sticks, and becomes even a wall flower, "gets there" in the cud.

inventor believes be will be able to control a small airplane flying without n pilot, as is now does for a distance of about seventy miles, right around the globe. French aeronautical engineers, while admitting that Americans have done a lot to make the "pilotless airplane" a practical success, insist that it was in France that the first experiments were made and they do not intend to giVe up their title to pion errs. Toward the end of the war Captain Boucher sent up Urn first of these airplanes guided by means of Hertzian waves. On September 11 of the same year an airplane thus guided remained in the air fifty-one minutes, covering a total distance of 100 kilometers, or sixty miles. It was guided from another airplane flying in tire ordinary way. Since that time enormous progress has been made. The “pilotless air plane" is now almost entirely automatic. The hands of the pilot have been replaced by a mechanism someIhlng like that of an automatic elevator. with buttons marked “Up,” “Down "To flic Right'" and To the Left.” By pushing these buttons two experts Who recently made a long flight were able to dispense entirely with the balancing and directing apparatus. The next step will be to send tho airplane on its flight without having this mechanism or any persons aboard, everything Ireing directed from a fixed station on the ground. Besides the main idea of guiding i the airplane from a distance, the machine in which the experients have been made combines several features any one og which would be regarded as an enormous advance in the science . or flying. As tlfe airplane comes to ihe ground a trailer strikes the stir face first, cutting off the motor ami acting as a brake for an easy land- ! ing. There is also a delicate piece of mechanism which prevents the air , plane from taking the air if the motor power is not sufficiently developed. Sfill another sends the machine to a determined height and will not per mit it to mount higher. Captain Perchcron, aided by another veteran aeronautical engineer. Captain Boucher.
