FRENCH FARMERS MUST
REBUILD THEIR HOMES
One Object of Red Cross Membership
Drive is to Help Them.-BOy
Gives Pet Fowl

THE French people are just as
much our neighbors as the family
which lives next door. We are poor
neighbors if we will not give a dollar
each for membership in an organiza-
ton which is helping to rebuild
homes which have been utterly de-
troyed."
This was the comment of John
Leslie, Northern Division chairman
of the Christmas membership drive
committee after he had read cable
gram received from the Paris head
quarters of the American Red Cross,
telling of the reconstruction work
being done by the organization
there.
Red Cross workers who have just
returned from the devastated regions
found no building covered by a roof"
the cablegram read. "In many places
farmers born and raised on the land
bequeathed by their fathers are COM
ing back to begin anew. Repair
work has begun at three places
where the Red Cross helps farmers
to roof at least one room and give
it window and door.
Zone man asked for such assist
ance to fix the roof of his stable, the
only building still standing on his
farm, that he and his family might
live through the winter and in spring
recommence tilling the soil. 1T is
hard to begin all over and we will
appreciate your help said this man.
This farm is all we have left. It
seems good to be back"
This is the spirit of all returned
farmers to the devastated regions.
To give these indomitable people the
chance to till their own land again
and rebuild their homes is one thing
the Red Cross is trying to do.
Gerald Mccormick, II years old,
living near Mitchell, S. D., has two
pet guinea fowl, the only possessions
he can call his very own. When a
solicitor seeking contributions for
the Mitchell Thanksgiving day auc-
ton for the Red Cross, called at
Gerald's home, the lad insisted on
giving the two fowls. The solicitor,
who remembered pets he had trea-
sured when a lad, attempted to dis
suade the little fellow but Gerald
would not hear of it. He insisted

failure. That is lie. Dave died
from drinking too much of very
poor grade of mail order Ticker. This
paper prints the truth.
Married, Miss Susie scruggs and
Horace Gruff1n, last Saturday at the
Methodist parsonage, the Rev. James
G. Williams officiating. The bride is
a very ordinary town girl who f1irts
with all of the travelling men she
meets and never helped her mother
three days all put together in her
whole life. She is anything but a
beauty, resembling a gravel pit in
the face, and the groom is natural
born loafer and bum. He never did
lick of work until his stepfather
ran him away from home last fall.
He went to the county seat and just
before starving to death accepted a
job as chambermaid in livery
stable. AS soon as his ma found out
where he was she got him and
brought him home. He now resides
at the home of his wife's father and
says he has no definite plans for the
future. Susie will have hard row

Auto Tags Cost More

All auto licenses in Minnesota run
out by January /, and it will be up
to the car owners to see that they
have other tags to take their places
or they will suffer the consequences
of such neglect.
In order that everything shall be
in line with the times, there has been
a raise in the licenses too. The old
price was $3.50 for the three year
tag, and that tag was made of alumni
mum, but the new tags will cost SIS
and will be made of steel with white
raised letters and a black back
ground.
The reason for the raise in the
price of the license tags is given out
as being done in order to get more
funds for that department of the
state government.
The secretary of state is already
receiving applications for licenses
and those who desire their old num-
bers back may have them by so stat
ing in their application. Motorcycle
tags will be worth So and will be
good for three years the same as the
auto tags.
Some autoists complain of SIS for
these tage, but in most other states
auto licenses are. charged at the rate
of forty cents per horse power, which
brings the average cost up to some
thing near SIS.

advice sometimes ladled out. But
the boy who cries over split milk
shows more sense than the boy who
doesn't care. Milk is split in good
many ways, and carelessness usually
has considerable to do with it. Milk
is split when the COW is not MIXED
dry, when the separator is left dirty.
when the hogs get out, when feed is
wasted, when the weeds get the. start
of the corn. Those things happen
once in while even in the best regu-
lated families, but where they are
cried over-or cussed-they don't
happen the second time. But they
keep happening all the time to peo-
pie who don't cry over them.

EDITOR DECIDES TO
TRY TELLING TRUTH
Here's What Happened When a
Newspaper Doesn't Smooth Edges
for the Public

A west Texas editor got tired of
being called liar" because of an
occasional typographical error or a
slight disarrangement of the facts in
publishing commonplace news items.
In his wrath he announced in bold
face type:
"a lot of people in this town fall
out with the editor and brand him
a liar when the ordinary human mis-
takes of life show up in a newspaper.
You have a little charity feeling for
every man in town but your editor,
facts and ID if 1 don tgive them
to you. Read next issue of this sheet
and you will see facts with the bark
off. I'll admit that 1 have been a
liar, an editorial liar, ever since 1
have been editing this sheet, but 1
have never printed a lie in these
columns except to save somebody's
feelings from being hurt. Pm not
agraid of any of you and I'll be dad
blamed if I don't print the truth
from now on or until you get out of
the habit of calling me a liar every
time I make some little unavoidable
typographical error. Just watch my
smoke"
Here are some paragraphs culIed
from the next issue.

chant in town, made trip to Belle

last Sunday night at the Christian

of William Ebert Munsey's sermons
and had the gall to palm it off as his
own.
