Constantly on the Job
Human wants are constant, hour-
ly, daily and continuous. Food,
clothing, shelter and theid infinite
subdivisions are every day needs.
There is not a clock that ticks that
does not register a million human
wants. The newspaper is the clos-
est thing in the world to the people’s
daily wants. It is an expression of
the ever-pressing desire for news.
The advertiser who uses the news-
paper reaches people with his mes-
sage exactly at the right moment.
There is no advertising medium on
the job so completely and so close
to the people as the newspaper.

In the growing of pineapples in
Hawaii, the tar paper covering is
used on a large scale, and is very
successful. Olson believes that the
practice might be applied to other
crops in this country in which the
labor is great and where the returns
per acre are large.
The cost of the paper to cover one

at least two years and with a little

Leacock Tells How to
Help Son Get Lessons
The greatest nuisance of all to the
schoolmaster is the parent who does
Lis boy's home exercises and works
his boy’s sums. I suppose they mean
well by it. But it is a disastrous thing
to do for any child. Whenever I
found myself correcting exercises that
had obviously been done for the boys
in their homes I used to say to them:
“Paul tell your father that he must
use the ablative after pro.” “Yes, sir,”
says the boy. “And Edward, you tell
your grandmother that her use of the
dative case simply won't do. She's
getting along nicely and I'm satisfied
with the way she’s doing, but I cannot
have her using the dative right and
left on every occasion. Tell her it
won't do.” “Yes, sir,” says little Ed-
ward.
I remember one case in particular of
a parent who did not de the boy's ex-
ercise, but, after letting the boy do it
himself, wrote across the face of it a

Not only is it being asked, but
one of the largest indemnity com-

Years Before Norsemen
So far as known, when the North-
men visited Iceland in the Ninth cen-
tury, they found no trace of an aborig-
inal race. However, the {sland had
been previously inhabited by Celts,
who settled there before 800 A, D.
Some Icelandic historians claim that
the Celtic colonists were still living on
the island when the Scandinavians
arrived. But the question is disputed
and the general belief is that these
Celtic settlers had disappeared be-
