fashioned, close homo life of seventy-five
years ago, in comparison with the rela
tively unhomcllko homes, of today. Ho
eald the existing condition was a neces

trial development of the world, ' but
should and could bo improved by parents
and children opening their hearts to each
other and growing toward Instead of
away from one another.

REPUBLICAN PRIMARY
Benson held Its primary election yester
day, jh preparation for the city election
to be held Tuesday, April 7. There was
no contest on tho democratic ballot, con
sequently th6 democrats flocked to the
republican camp and participated In the
heated contest for mayor, engineer and
councllmen.
About 450 votes were cast all told, out
of a total voting strength of over COO.
Because there was no competition for
places on the democratic ticket, the
democrats,' who total over one. third of
all the voters, are said to have thrown
many of their votes onto the republican
side, so. as to control' tho list of candi
dates against whom their men will have
to run In tho final election.
Goorgo Hill, tho present mayor, was
chosen again to head - the democratic
ticket, only fifty-nine votes being tallied
for him. Edward Sorenson received tho
republican nomination with 243 votes, as
against 156 for Fred Bailey. Thus 399
votes wero counted republican against
fifty-nine democratic for mayoralty nomi
nations, whereas It Is said that out of
tho total of 45S yotes cast, fully 150 wero
deposited by men who are really demo
crats.
The results, other than for mayor, were
as follows:
REPUBLICAN.
City clerk, Dan Westergard.
City treasurer, Guss A. Wulff.
City engineer. C. IC Bramble.
Councllmen, First ward, Andrew lie-

City clerk. F. W. Melchlor.
City treasurer, A. P. McCarthy.
City engineer. Peter Chrlstensen.
Councllmen, First ward, W. S. Wright;

that of mayor, were John McQulre, who
ran for tho nomination for city engineer.
and William Yarton and C. I Mather,
who ran for the nominations. for council

of Humor in Bible
"I would rather havo tho young people

all," raid Thomas W. Blackburn In his
talk nt tho brotherhood meeting ot the
Hanscom Park Methodist church last
night. Ho read a paper, "Tho, Wit and
Humor of the Bible," which, ho said, he
prepared a number ot years ago after
teaching a Sunday school class for a
number ot years and thus had an oppor
tunity to study tho richness of biblical
literature. He reviewed tho troubles of
Job and ot Adam and Eve, traced many
ot the funny and ludicrous points
throughout the Old Testament and fin
ished by saying he had only skimmed the
Book at that. Ono of the interesting
points was the peculiar kinship that
must havo existed among tho grandchil
dren and great grandchildren ot Adam
and Evo when these began to Intermarry.
wheroln the least of a man's troubles was
that his aunt was his .mother-in-law.
