The world is full of people with good right and left
many of them do not know what helping

Happiness is comparative state. The small boy
with his penny whistle is often full of the joy of
living than the millionaire with his Kaxon.
Ananias and Baron Munchausen were pretty fair

Wanted-A Minnesota statesman who find some
thing talk about besides efficiency and economy and
the sale of the bonds of other states owned by Mime
and the renvesment thereof in Minnesota municipal
bonds. The trouble with efficiency and economy is
that not statesmen agree what should be
done and the trouble with the sae of foreign bonds is
that is going to pay than the market value
of three per cent bonds If statesman really wishes
perform service to the state in connection with these
bonds instead of talking about SELLING Them let him
offer BUY them at nice premium. Talk is cheap,

chaser able and willing to pay the state enough to
make the sale business proposition.

Nearly every merchant in Morris
states that Christmas sales this year
exceeded the volume last year. This
not only shows that there was more
money in circulation, but proves that
people no longer deem it necessary to
squeeze every cent they may get their
hands on in order to provide against a
threatened shortage. 1t also proves
that people are Influenced by what
they read. Practically every merchant
in Morris used considerable space in
the Morris Tribune this year wherein
they set forth prices and descriptions
and made Christmas suggestions worth
while. People shop in the newspap-

Users of choral hydrate, if there
are any in Morris, will be unable to
get further supplies. If caught with
any of the drug in their possession
they are liable to prosecution accord
ing to the provisions of the MINI
mock's law which went into effect
Monday. The law is designed as an
aid to the Harrison law regarding the
sale of narcotics and drugs, but is
even more stringent. Morris drug
gists say choral hydrate is seldom
asked for in this city. Physicians
use it sparingly in their prescriptions.
In the larger cities dope artists use it
and crooks administer it to their vic
tins as Knockout drops. The drug
produces sleep.

made by Adolph a. Weinman and the
quarter dollar by Hermon A. MacNeil.
Both are sculptors of note.
The face Of the new half dollar bears
a full length of Liberty, with a back
ground of the American flag flying to
the breeze. The goddess is striding to-
ward the dawn Of new day, carrying
laurel and oak branches, symbolic of
civil and military glory. The reverse
side shows an eagle perched high upon
a mountain crag, wings unfolded. Grow
ing from a rift in the rock is sapling
of mountain pine, symbolic of America.
