Fling At Two-Legged Hogs.
There is going to be an invention
at the state fair to make four-legged
hog work to get his own feed. An
invention to prevent the two-legged
ones working to get somebody else's
would make more of hit in the
world.-Quentin in MINNEAPOLIS

Record Is Very Accommodating.
When Congressman Tawney told the
house that a magazine had turned
down an article he had written the
representatives at once ordered it
printed in the Congressional Record.
Thus are fields opening every day for
the ambitious amateurs in the world
of tters.-Duluth Herald.
Better Stay on the Farm.
Secretary Meyer says he wants the
farmer boys of the middle west to
enter the navy. To be bossed, pre-
sumably, by the sprigs similar to the
ones who are performing the star acts
in connection with the Sutton inquiry?

1t Would Be Popular Levy.
A constitutional amendment allow
ing a road and bridge levy of one
mill would create fund that would
give each county in the state $4,000
a year. Bob Dunn has started the
agitation and there are few counties
in northern Minnesota but what will
second the motion for an amendment
of that kind.-Brainerd Dispatch.

Misplaced Trade Mark?
1t is claimed that the Standard Oil
company is using the refuse to make
butter out of nowadays, and the writer
has almost come to the conclusion
that it is a fact, because we got butter
at one of the local grocery stores the
other day that would make kerosene
taste sweet. The Standard oil trade
mark had evidently gotten misplaced.

Winding His Own Business
A st. Paul daily claims NO one is
shrewd enough to ascertain Just what
Robert G. Dunn of Princeton is doing.
politically. We know what Bob is
doing. he is attending to his own
business. Try it and see how long it
will be before the busy bodies will be
trying to pry into your affairs and
wondering what in hades you are up
to.-Bricelyn Sentinel.
Must First Amend the Constitution.
Bob Dunn is on deck with something
good for the farmers as usual He
advocates a one mill tax for the road
and bridge fund instead of the quarter
mill tax now in force. This would
insure an average of $4,000 to each
county and few bunco steerers from
the cities could not puncture an ap-
preparation bill from this fund so full
of holes that it would be unconstitu-
tional.- Royalton Banner.
The All-Interesting Question.
The all interesting question before
the people OF the state of Minnesota
at present is: ''What constitutes a.
pork barrel?" After that question has
been settled it would be interesting
too, to know, if the constitution is
greater than the supreme court or the
supreme court greater than the consti-
tuition? The people who are at the
foundation of both and all of it, are
awfully much interested in these
