ISN'T IT STRANGE?

To sue city official for SANDER, be-
cause he reports an alleged violation of
state law, is queer way to ascertain
whether the law really is violated or not.
Generally city officials cooperate in an
attempt to ferret out lawbreakers and in
securing convictions, but that is not the
way it is accomplished in New Ulm. In
this city constable, who has the temeri-
ty to report law attractions to other Off
Gals is encouraged" by SANDER suit,
under the statutes, and forced to secure
witnesses to prove his contention. Verify
the way Of lessening crime in New Ulm
by law enforcement is peculiar-Brown

READING NOTICES
HOLD FAST YOUR DREAMS

Hold fast your dreamSi
Pain waits for you,
And care and fear are near
They are very near
There is death, too
Death comes to every dream and death
Will come to you.
Within your heart
Keep one still, secret spot
Where dreams may go,
And, sheltered so,
May thrive and grow
Where doubt and fear are not.
Oh, keep place apart
Within your heart
For dreams to go!
Think still of lovely things that are not
true.
Let wish and magic work at will in you.
Be sometimes blind to sorrow-make be-
lieve.
Forget the calm that lies
In disillusioned eyes.
Though we all know that we must die,
Yet you and |
May walk like gods and be
Even now at home in Immortality.
We know so many ugly things
Deceits and wrongs and qiarrelings,
We know, alas! We know
How swiftly go
The color in the west,
The bloom upon the flower,
The bloom upon the breast
And Youths blind hour
Oh, keep within your heart
A place apart
Where little dreams may go,
May thrive and grow,
Hold fast your dreams!

JUST PLAIN BUNK

THE present price of gasoline will
hardly convince the average voter
that Frank Kellogg busted" the
Standard Oil 'trust.-Waseca Herald
AS Mr.. Kellogg has about as much to
do with fixing the price of gasoline as the
Democratic editor of the Herald we are
surprised to see such fair-minded editor
as Brother Coughlin stoop to such subter-
fuge, adopted by a few pp-Republican
editors also.
Frank B. Kellogg was selected to prove
the governments case against the STAN
dard Oil company and showed his mettle
by winning his point when pitted against
the best legal talent in the country. For
the subsequent effect on prices, if there
is to be any criticism, play the game
square and direct it against Congress for
not repeating or amending the law now on
the statute books, which it is the duty Of
the executive branch of the government
to enforce.
It is because Frank Kellogg can be de-
pended upon in presenting Minnesota's
case in the United States Senate, to exer-
else the same ability that brought him vic
tory in the celebrated Standard dissolu-
ton suit that The News is enthusiastical-
ly for him in his campaign for the Repub-
lican nomination.
Minnesota is to be congratulated upon
having an opportunity to retain SO able
an advocate Mortified News.
Guess probably that made the Waseca
Herald shrink Bit

STEALING STATE TIMRER

Of late there has been some talk in the
papers about alleged stealing of timber on
state lands, through a collision of en-
ployees Of the state and certain lumber
companies. Result: Some of the state
employees have been dismissed from the
service and lit is reported" that the lum-
Der companies caught in the act have
agreed to make satisfactory settlement.
1t is the old story. Timber stealing is not
called stealing, but is given the less Of
fensive title of "trespass," and the Ium-
Der thieves caught "trespassing" are per-
mitted to pay up and go scot free from
punishment. 1t has always seemed to us
that stealing state property in the form
of timber was just as much Of a crime as
stealing state property in the form of
school funds. Walter Smith and Pickit
have been sent to state prison, although
the state has not lost dollar by their
transaction, but the timber thieves have
robbed Minnesota for the past fifty years,
and they all go free.-Sam Gordon.

Swat The Rooster.

Merchants complain that they cannot pay good prices for eggs in the summer because the eggs will not keep and that the city dealer destroys one half the eggs they ship. It has been proven beyond a doubt that hens will lay as many eggs with no roost- CTS in the flock as if the roosters are there. It has also been proven beyond a doubt that the eggs, so produced, called infertile eggs, will keep fresh for table use for many days, even in sum- mer. The rooster is absolutely useless except for breeding pur- poses. Therefore when the hatching season is over farmers should separate the roostere from the hens, fatten and sell them. Six or seven days after separa- tion the eggs will infertile and can be marketed as fresh eggs even three or four days old, whereas in the summer a fertile egg is not really fit to eat after it is two days old. Ask the coun- ty agricultural agent or the home demonstration agent about mar keting infertile> eggs. The Ex- tension Division of the Agricul- tural College, cooperating with the U. s. Department of Agri- culture is naming the second week in May as the week for selling old roosters from the farm Separate them from the hocks a week or ten days ahead of time and let everybody sell old roost- CTS the week beginning May, 8.
