An exchange notes that when you
see man digging laborously in his
garden, stopping often to rest. and
cussing occasionally. it is safe to say
that his wife has him at work. But
if he is digging like good fellow.
never stopping to rest, and whistling
a popular air, yon can bet that he is
digging fish bait. It's all in the
mind.
The Sanborn Sentinel reports the
tragic death of the little 6-year- old
daughter of Chas. Raddatz, who
went too near bonfire Of rubbish,
allowing her dress to catch fire.
The little girl died soon after in
great agony and the incident should
be warning to parents and others
against allowing children too great
liberty in playing about bonfres.
Saturday Evening Post: The
simple fact is, of course, that there
is no good argument in favor of the
liquor traffic any more than there
is good argument in favor of tu-
berculosis. The only question is
how best to deal with it. That the
surgery of prohibition is effective
only where local sentiment strongly
supports it seems to be the net re-
suit Of experience at the present
time.
How will Editor Rea of the Tracy
Herald like this shot at his idol, from
one Of our contemporaries? Gilbert
Hubbard recently sent out pamph-
let he has just written in defense of
Standard Oil, which ought to win
the case before the United States
Supreme Court and entitle the long,
haired philosopher from East
Aurora to feed upon the foundation
for the rest Of his unnatural life.
How the mighty have fallen! At
one time an earnest advocate of high
ideals this gifted man has become
the subservient defender of the
money god. Hubbard's creed is:
In this S sign thou shalt conquer and
to-the four winds with ideals, if
they don't fetch the cash."
LIE Sueur Sentinel: On last Sun
day while Earl Schmotter of Ottowa
was fishing in the river with throw
line he pulled in a rare fish that
made him sit up and take notice.
He at once examined his bait bucket
to see if the fish could be accounted
for in that way but there was moth
ing in the basket but some delicious
sandwiches Mrs. Schmotter had pre-
pared, there was not even bottle
of cold tea, so he looked again at
the fish and discovered that he
caught a big spoon-bill catfish, one
of the rarest fish of many varieties
that abound in the river. The fish
weighed about three pounds and
was 20 inches long.

der if it is appreciated that the in
creased cost of living effects news
papers. In three years the number
of newspapers in Minnesota has de-
creased over 100. One sixth of the
newspapers of the state have gone
out of existence in three years be-
cause they could not make a living.
During the past few years newspa-
pers have found their payrolls in
creasing from fifty to one hundred
per cent, while prices charged for
advertising, job work and subscrip-
tons have remained practically the
same. Prices should be advanced at
least one third to yield the country
paper as much profit as it made ten
years ago on given amount of bust
ness. Instead of doing this the
weaker papers have been permitted
to die.
