sicians. OF the day performed. To a
love Of music Britton Joined a knowl
edge Of bibliography. which brought
him into contact with Harley. earl OF
oxford. and other collectors. But he
continued until his death In 1714 to
sell coal in the streets Of London and
would frequently Join his noble pa.
irons on a book hunting expedition at.

coal sack he bad been carrying all day

ITCHING EVERY MOMENT
DISTRESSING ECZEMA MAY BE
QUICKLY BANISHED.
Try This Ramedv nj 0ur RisE

Eczema is seen in so many forms
that any itching eruption is almost
certain to be this disease. In the
acute stage the itching is almost mad
dening. as Il does not give one a
moments peace.
Our new skin remedy. Saxo Salve,
was devised to meet the need for a
really trustworthy and scientific treat
ment of skin troubles.
Saxo Salve not only stops the ter
rife itching at once, but also pene-
trates the skin pores, reaching the
very root OF the disease with its heal
ing. germ-destroying power.
You will be both surprised and de-
lighted to see how the eruption be-
gins to dry up and disappear after
the first few applications.
II is splendid for children as well
as for adults. and we give back your
money II Saxo Salve does not satisfy

BEHIND THE POLITICAL SCENES.

1t looks as though Sam Y. Gordon
had drawn the draperies of his couch
about him and laid down TO uneasy
political slumber.
It's too bad. Sam was a good
fellow, sincere, honest. courageous
but he could not be saved from his
friends. He forgot that |. A. Cas-
we'll is the man with the brains.
Second place on the ticket may
now look good to Gordon, according
to the reports being circulated, 1t
is not impossible that the circum-
stances of the king for day" bust
ness may have been exaggerated.
1t is not impossible that George L.
Simpson double-crossed Mr.. Gordon.
Still there are a good many who feel
that each of these possibilities is by
the way as the essential fact that
Gordon thought of taking charge of
things and calling an extra session
has not been denied.
AS lieutenant governor Gordon
made good. He could do the same
thing again and doubtless could have
his old place if he asked for it. and
would again make good. being mold
ed of that kind of stuff.
His fall has set the bee buzzing
in good many heads. L.C. Spoon
er who is really big, brainy man,
has been suggested as a possible
candidate for Egovernor. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful if Spooner could
make much Roadway in that fight.
His position on good many ques-
lions has estranged practically every
interest in the state. and in some
cases has aroused the bitterest an
tagonism. These are forces with
which he would have to reckon at

Former Iowa People Unite in Christmas
Festival

A most enjoyable affair. which
was in harmony with the Christmas
spirit throughout Redwood Falls and
vicinity. occurred Monday at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Leonard
Griggs, five miles north vest of Red
wood Falls when thirty-five Of their
relatives aud friends, all former res
idents Of Marshall County, Iowa. and
well known in the vicinity of Mar
shalltown and Albion, gathered at
their home in remembrance of the
day.
The guests assembled at the
Grigg's home at an early hour and
made merry the moments spent in
conversation and exchanging the
seasons greetings. At | o'clock a
sumptuous dinner was served by
Mrs. Leonard Griggs. Mrs. Roy
Leonard and Mrs. Eugene Ulery.
Characteristic features of this dinner
were the roast goose, escalloped oys-
tiers, cranberry sauce and old fash
toned pumpkin pie. The little folks
were unusually interested at this
hour as little table was prepared
especially for them. Those seate d
at this table were: Mildred, Harold
and Donald Leonard; Floyd Ulery;
Paul Griggs, Maurice Griggs; Milo
Hockett and Robert and Clifford
Garten.
Later in the day music was fur
nished by the young people. Candy
nuts. and apples were served and the
men enjoyed hunting trip after
which the guests dispersed to their
various homes with spirits fully in
keeping with that of the day.
Those present on the occasion
were: Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Leonard

as Judge O'Brien there is no reason

dorsement of the Republican con-
vention.
This may open a way for Judge
Homer B. Dibell. of Duluth, than
whom there is no ADLER jurist in the
state. It is remarkable that Judge
Dibell, recluse. is admired and
loved by practically every man, wo-
man and child in st. Louis county.
The secret is: He is a big man. If
his consent can be secured st. Louis
county will send delegation to the
next state convention solid for Dibell.
There will be none of the complica-
tons of last year to defeat him and
his nomination seems assured unless
Minneapolis insists upon naming the
man to succeed Simpson.
1t would seem that Duluth is en-
titled to this place. Dibell is excep-
tionally able and has the support of
the best, brainiest and most enthus-
iastic bunch of boosters in the state.
Such combination should be ire
sistable.

Rightly speaking the beginning of
a new year is no different from the
dawn Of new day. Each morning
you rise to new duties. new worries,
new obligations, new resolutions,
new determination, new patience,
new love, new hope. Through the
centuries all of these things have
come to be emphasized at the New
Year.
Yet the dawning of yesterday
morning was no different from the
dawning of the day before or the
week before or the month before.
He who can walk out into the early
glow and behold the sun in crimson,
cardinal ard lavender splendor rise
and feel in his heart that it is not
the first time the sun ever shone up
on the earth or his eye ever looked
upon its glory is quite dead and fof
him there are no sunrises.
Set your face to the future that it
may be radiant with the smile of a
great hope. Make your resolutions,
break them and make them and
break them but every time you
make them feel with growing fer
vor: This time | shall hold stead
fast" So may you grow old, ami
mated with constantly rejuvenated
confidence. and at the last fall
asleep believing in yourself.
Before all else you must become
convinced that the past is dead. 1t
is only in your mind that it has post
norton existence. Wipe it out.
Cease to cling to it. Forget it.
Remember: There is no power
in the universe to change the
past. All the waters of the sea
cannot wash clean this little hand"
What you were is as irrevocably de-
termined as the law of gravity.
What you shall become is in your
own hands.
Go forward into this new year as
though there were no past. Cling
to those things that are good. Be
friendly with all men. Let the love
of your heart flush over into deeds
of charity and kindness. With Sc

ED. SMITH. The MAN

Constancy, either in politics or
private life. is the one particular
jewel of the human heart.
The politician who throws his
frienos passes into an early and
timely grave.
Ed. E. Smith, chairman of the
Minnesota state Republican commit
tee is not that kind.
Ed. at least is constant.
A great many things may be said
against this man Smith. A good
many people have said them. But
why not be as ready to give praise
as blame?
A certain little man named George
7. Simpson has made public a pri-
vate conversation, evidently hoping
thereby to hurt Ed. Smith, for
whom he processes friendship, a
dealing quite characteristic of the
aforesaid little man.
Simpson wanted Smith to desert
Eberhart and help land the attorney
general in the governors chair.
why do you want to be governor"
asked Smith. ITO help the people
and the interests, replied Simpson
who has never helped the people and
who has consistently done his ut
most for the interests. Said this
much cried down Smith:
If | am the last man in the state
to go down with Eberhart | am go
ing to stick by him."
Does that raise Smith in your esti-
nation? If not you better inquire
into some ofNthe extremely private
motives that are fiuttering around
in your head.
As to the little man Simpson the
real reason for his pique lies in the
fact that Smiths estimation of
Simpsons oratorical powers didn't
coincide with Simpsons opinion.
The attorney general was side-track-
ed not infrequently during the last
campaign and it was bitter pill.
Now he is trying to ''get even.
Such are the ways of little men.
Peace. peace. He has already
passed into the paths of private life.
May the success he deserves attend
him.
