NORTH AND SOUTH POLE— The North Pole is nothing. There is no such place or thing, except in the imagination of geographers. The Pole is mereiy the theoretical point, where all the imaginary meridians running north and south around the earth, like the division lines of an orange, come together. It is as imaginary as the Equator or Tropic of Cancer. It cannot be exactly located or nailed down or marked with a surveyor's “monument." There its no land there —nothing but floating ice and a couple of miles' depth of ice-water. It can be found only by the aid of the sun and stars, and every explorer arriving there will have to figure out or guess at its position all over again, as if he were the first discoverer. During the Arctic winter, the Pole is regularly covered with ice. Peary • found ice there when he arrived, and so was able to make observations and set up marks. But it isn't likely that tourists will ever visit that point of interest much in the Arctic night, and whatever fixed ice may form there in winter becomes broken and floating ice as summer comes on. The South Pole is different. It is on high land in the middle of a big continent. So that point can be "nailed down" and identified by every subsequent visitor. In time to come, 1 therefore, we may assume that the , South Pole will be the popular one to visit on air excursions. The sudden death of James C. Patterson brought sorrow to his hundreds of friends here last evening. Mr. Patterson, who was affectionately and familarily known as “Tobey," was loved by all who came into contact with him. For thirty years he served as the accommodating manager of the Western Union Telegraph office and it was his daily desire to be of service to the public. He was always on the job. had a smile and a kind word for those he met and was as loyal to the company he served as he was 'accommodating to its patrons. He took an interest in civic and church affairs and was a splendid citizen. In his many years of service he ticked tidings, sad and glad, over the wires and sympathized and rejoiced with his patrons, as the occasion demanded. Without doubt, when the announcement of his death was sent over the telegraph wires last evening to headquarters those who knew arid had worked with ’‘Tobey,” felt the same way as his many friends here, that they bad lost one of the most faithful and best friends they had. His death removes one of the good citizens of this community and to his family we join in extending our heart-felt, sympathies. One of the things discussed at recent sessions of the county councillors of Yorke county, Ontario, in which Toronto lies, was an increase In the number of bird sanctuaries. The present plan is for the immediate setting aside oi" 500 acres in one township to be held as a bird refuge. Other townships will then establish their own separate bird reservations for the present. The ultimate goal is to convert the whole county into one great sanctuary. Here is a truly worthy plan. Imagine a whole pounty, x

The republicans of the twelfth and several other districts held a picnic, ’lovefeast and barbecue at Fort Wayne yesterday. Senator "Jim" Watson was the headliner and one reason for the meeting was to launch and get back of Watson's candidacy for the senatorial nomination next year. Joe Kealing, national committeeman from Indiana, who seems to be the man back of the gun, let it be known that he was for Watson and that he expected the regular members of his party to line up for Jim. Fine for Watson. However. Albert Beveridge was not invited to the picnic and things may not be so well among the followers of this former senator. A man from Huntington who has kept himself informed on road matters. states that the highway department will not take over the road between Decatur and Huntington until it is put in first-class condition. The road between Markle and Uniondale in Wells county is said to be in poor condition. There is also a bad stretch near Magley, we have been informed. The road in Adams county Is being repaired and no effort should be lost to keep it that way. The state will not take over the road for sometime and as it is a main traveled highway it behooves both counties to keep it in shape. o IBig Features Os < RADIO Programs Today < THURSDAY'S RADIO FEATURES.

There's something in a pansy's face So touched with beauty and with grace. So soft with lovely pity. I Can never heedless pass it by. The richer roses lure me on With countless charms to look upon. They seem to say with scornful pride: "Why for such weaklings turn aside? “Why waste your time with such as they? i We are the fashion of the day! Look, wg are roses! Yet you stand And hold a pansy in your hand!" Oh, richer rose, with all your pride. Something to you has been denied; This humble pansy seems to be
