WHOSE FROZEN WASTES? YES SIR, RATHER FIGHT. HINDENBURG'S ELECTION. Massachusetts considers a propo sition interesting to other States. The idea is to oblige railroads kill ing competition annexing to them, but useful to the public, hy inter fering with omnibus lir.es. The scheme is cleverly worked out. I First, owners of dmnibiis'-s using public roads would be compelled to get certificates of public necessity i —ami-urgency * * That isn't so very dangerous, be cause public opinion which would demand a convenient omnibus ser vice could bring pressure to bear en the Legislature. But it would also be neeesaary for an omnibus line to get a per mit from the local authorities of •very little town and village through which It might pass. With such a law in force it would only be necessary for the railroad to buy one or two little local bodies— and that wouldn't be difficult. The railroads need something to wake them up, and they ought to be grateful for mild omnibus com petition. By and by they will have real competition in the airplane routes. And even railroads will hardly suggest that the people haven't a right to fly through their own atmosphere without special permission. The omnibus line as a medium of long-distance transportation la an established fact. You may ride by bus all the way from San Diego 1 to Seattle, the whole length of our Western coast. If buses wear oat the roads, part of their earnings should be ased to k»»r the roads In repair. But "It Is The Best" The surest method for im proving and increasing* your pea nut yield is to use "The Best Land Plaster".

Attest: j/sAM GETSINGER, Register deeds and ex-officio clerk to the — m 8 41 w . ..* omnibus lines should be encouraged everywhere. Four nations are racing to reach 1 the North Pole. MacMifion hopes to arrive first with the American flag and his two airships. Anyhow, whatever happens in this race, the United Statea reached the Pole first. 'As to "owning" that territory, there need be no quarrel. There u oil there, within the Arctic. The Rockefellera have actually proved it and produced it, although they do not mean to bring it out. And as the Pole shifts, the dif ferent star* one after another be oome our Northern star, which ia not at all "fixed and unchanging." Today'* Polar lands will lose their carpet of ice, men wflTlive there, on fertile fields, and "Polar night" will be located elsewhere. But what, by that time, will have become of the nations now claiming Polar lands? They will have vanished more completely than the 22 separate kingdom! that met the Conqueror when he landed in Britan. And what we call civilization will then be part of a disagreeable past, studied, as we now study the Bush {nan, African pygmies, and the "head hunters" of Borneo. Man by nature delights in struggle. At Columbia, —South — Carolina, beside the railroad track, four barefoot colored boys from fifteen to six years of age ealled out, Thrown a nickel in the air and well fight for it" The suggestion that the smallest boy would have little chance founn no favor. All four boys were dis appointed when each received his nickel without a struggle. Even the smallest boy said, "Yes, dr, w»*d rather flght for it." There is a moral for employer*. Give your men on salary a chance to make something extra by "fighting" for extra business and extra, profit. Only profit sharing gets the best out of a man. A salary, no matter how big, seeme like an insult after a few months. The French declare the election of Von Hlndenburg to be Germany's challenge to the world and to France especially. But the French should be the last to criticise the Germans In this selection. When Napoleon waa shamefully beaten and ran home from the Germans to save his akin, as the Kaiser ran away from Germany to save his akin, the French elect ed as President Marshal Mae- Mahon, the l*eet imitation a military hero within reach.
