Little Mack, editor of The Stanley

urday afternoon, bringing with him all
the glorious sunshine of his nature
the happy little philosopher of life. Lit
tie Mack has been a country editor for
more than twenty years; he has thrown
many a rainbow of promise athwart the
skies of depression during the hard
times of the pioneer days in the Mouse
river valley; he has pumped confidence
into countless souls and defined the
points of the star of hope as it burns
above the unrisen morrow" in the
thoughts that have flown from his old
HfiJh To
of gray dawn to tallow-tip, and has
spent the best years of life boosting
and building in the country where he
pinned his faith SO long ago. And while
others have grown rich and have prof
tied through his teachings, Little Mack
has been too busy pushing the clouds
away to do very much for himself; he
is today just what he was twenty years
ago-a country editor.
Little Mack's visit to Minot Satur-
