OTHER EDITORS OPINIONS
Aitkin Independent: John Melin Of
the White Star laundry is much pleas
ed with his new boiler installed by G.
j. Kordes and gives him credit for
thorough work. 49,:
. Anoka Union: just as relief, the
Union would like to read of one min
ing or one oil company, paying divi-
dends on the money invested by stock
holders. What suckers these mortals
be?
Mora Times Governor johnson has
announced the appointment of the new
members Of the state board of equaliza-
tiOn for this year. With the retirement
of the nine old members the board be-
comes solidly democratic.
. Chatfeld News. Democrat: Merrill
Thurber exhibited Buff Plymouth
Rocks, Buff Wyandottes and Barred
Rocks at the. Austin show last week
and in the fercest competition yet met
with this season won several firsts and
other premiums.
Wykoff Messenger: The fifth annual
show of the Mower County Poultry
Association, held in Austin January 2
to 5, was the most successful ever held
by the association. Over 800 birds were
on exhibition, and the competition was
very strong. As an indication Of the
competition a 96 pullet in the White
Wyandotte class failed to get in the
ribbons.
Stanley. N. D., Sun: Mrs. n. E. Pace
and daughter, of Belden, were visitors
in Stanley last week. Both ladies are
splendid entertainers, and true-blue
North Dakotans. Geo. Felch one Of
Belden's young and progressive farmers,
was in town to-day, and commenced
the good work by sending the SUN to
Midway News: Why is it that in the
state legislature of last winter, and
with state administration composed
mostly of editors, all the bills looking
to the advancement Of publicity, even
with the solid support of the Minnesota
Editorial Association, were secretly de-
feated, but all the measures looking to
legal mystiication and confusion were
safely enacted and promptly approved
by the governor? ~
Jackson Republic: Rural mail
carriers have received orders from head
quarters to refuse to take unstamped
mail from boxes. Heretofore, patrons
have dropped unstamped mail in the
boxes; also deposited pennies for post
age. Hereafter, such methods will not
be permitted and stamps must be pro.
cured from the carriers or elsewhere
and be properly affixed by the patron
to insure the service desired.
Winona Republican Herald: In ap-
pointing the state board of equaliza-
tion Gov. johnson could only find a
place for one Republican All other
members are Democrats, and it is pub
lie taxation board. For pernicious
partizanship this takes the biscuit.
The governor is evidently playing for a
democratic denomination upon ''non-
partizan" platform to fool republicans.
Rochester Democrat; Many there are
in Rochester who have not missed a
service at the tabernacle. There are
hundreds who have been seen in the
audience at every meeting. And there
are members of the, choir who have not
failed once in attending the meetings.
A large audience greeted Mr.. Sunday
Saturday night to hear his sermon on
Naaman, the leper. But the record
breaking house was Sunday night when
$500 crowded into the tabernacle and
gave earnest attention to the recital Of
the deplorable social conditions that
surround present day boys and girls.
Iowa State Register: We saw a
funny thing the other day-an old gray
haired man smoking cigarette; It
was funny because cigarette smokers
hardly ever live to get gray. This old
fellow must have started late in life,
or else he was an extra tough old pro-
position. 1t is good thing that death
cleans out this sort Of trash when
young, for the old world has no use
whatever for the stinkers.
Red Wing Republican: In many Sec
tions of the state tho accommodating
farm wealth is being devoted more to
enlarging the area of the farms than it
is to improving them. On the theory
that farm land will constantly rise IN
value and that now is the time to get
the area and improve it later this may
be wise; but the best results in quality,
quantity at minimum amount of labor
required to care for crops and stock
cannot be realized without good build
sings and good machinery we'll cared
for, -.:,
Cannon Falls Beacon: If the farm.
ers of Minnesota could be brought to
an understanding of the value to them
of their market towns the mail order
houses would go outrof business in less
than sixty days. The building up of a
strong market town in q farming COM
munity means increased value to every
farm, to every head of stock, to every
bushel prod on the farm; it means
the best of educational advantages for
the children close at hand; it means the
satisfying Of the natural desires of the
young people to see something Of life
and to. acquire something Of. culture
without leaving the farm home to seek
for 1t. .s.s 1 5's u 4
