list A FRANK DAY DREAM.

FRANK Day of Fairmont must have IN
r hailed a niff of Asnow," or taken
yip of yen when he wrote this one
Starting out with wet campaign fund
of $4,000 for each county in the district,
here is the rose-strewn pathway OF Joe
Reynolds to seat in Congress, as planned
by those who are making a preliminary
survey of the field: Practically the solid
German vote of the district on the per-
sonal liberty issue; ninety per cent OF the
newspapers with Fred Hadley as cam
paign manager; A. O. Moreaux, Secretary,
Senator Ward, Treasurer, Herb. Hotalng,
A. M. Welles, Phil. Liesch, Charley Dill
man. Bess Wilson, Will Curtis and Alfred
Torngren, advisory committee, to be in
creased as campaign progresses" and so
on for about half q column.
Outside of the fact that none OF the
above is going to handle any wet cam
paign; that Joe Reynolds is not candl-
date for Congress and that we are salts
fled with Congressman Ellsworth, the Day
dream is substantially correct. Roll over
on your side, Frank, you're snoring. Win
nebago Enterprise.
If Frank doesn't wake soon, it should
certainly become the duty Of this "cam-
paign committee" which he has SO kind
ly appointed, to rouse him. This vision
looks to us like bad case Of D. Is, or
something like that.

SENSIBLE. VERY; BUT

One of the most sensible things we have
heard of any school faculty doing Of late
was that of Redwood Falls school officers
insisting that only plain white dresses be
worn. by Redwood girl graduates and only
plain suits worn by the boys. Now if they
will also take hand in the school enter
tainments and banquets they will be en-
titled to vote of thanks and banquet.
Their example should then be copied by
all neighboring schools and the foolish ex-
pense and the worry of commencement be
relegated to the discard Morton Enter
prise.

DOESN'T AMOUNT TO MUCH.

There is a philosopher who says that a
man, is after ALL of no very great account.
There are three important times in his
life-when he is born, when he marries,
and when he dies. But even then his per-
sonal Importance is overshadowed by the
curiosity to know whether he is a boy or
a girl, what the bride wore, and how much
he left in his will-Ex.

THE MASK REMOVED.

(From The Minneapolis JournaD
TN their debate at Long Prairie last Sat
urday Mr.. N S. Randall and Mr.. Ru-
I do-ph A. Lee did valuable public SER
vice to all the people Of Minnesota and es-
pecially to the farmers of the State. Mis-
sionaries of the Nonpartisan League such
as Mr.. Randall, who comes to Minnesota
from Seattle by way of North Dakota,
have been infaming the minds of Mime
sofa farmers by recital Of real or fancied
wrongs to the point where they would sub
scribe sixteen dollars apiece for member
ship in the new League, and sign away
their political independence by agreeing
to vote only for candidates indorsed by
the League.
Until the Long Prairie debate the
Leagues organizers had made their ap-
peal with no one to check them up. 1t is
not to be wondered at that the League has
made some headway. But Mr.. Lee in the
Long Prairie debate set out some facts
for farmers to consider before joining the
League. Some questions he propounded
were:
Why should the State lend it's credit
to vast socialistic enterprises and wipe
out all that the farmers have achieved
by cooperative effort?
Why should such a vast campaign
fund be necessary to win victory for
righteous cause?
Why have the Leagues leaders
preached pure democracy and run its
finances as a close corporation?
Why have they played politics in or
dering the defeat of certain legislation
desired by the farmers?
Mr. Lee also made the positive state
ment that the controlling heads of the
new League are Socialists, and their pro-
gram nothing but socialism disguised un-
der another name.
IN putting these questions before the
farmers of Minnesota Mr.. Lee performed
a valuable service to them. Mr.. RandalPs
part in the affair was no less important,
for it was his challenge that brought on
the debate.
Most important of all, it was Mr.. Ran.
dali, State organizer for the new League
in Minnesota, who admitted that they
have been feeding the farmers socialism,
sugar-coated by another name. He frank
ly stated that he is and has been a socia-
list in belief, though not member of the
Party, and that the program he has been
preaching is socialism. The Long Prairie
debate dissolved the sugar-coating from
the Nonpartison pill, and hereafter, if the
farmers of Minnesota take Socialist medi-
cine, they will take-it straight.
The Nonpartisan League program is So
cialism as far as it goes, but it is not all
of socialism. 1t has the earmarks of a
private money-making enterprise for a
few men. Why the mo accounting" pro-
viso?

two years old, but there has never been
a meeting of members, an election Of
officers, and no constitution, bylaws,
rules or regulations have been adopted
by the members. The thing started out
with Townley as boss of everything,

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greasless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it in. One or two tea
sponfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroly. The lather
rinses out easily. and removes every
particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last every one in the family foc
months.-Advertisem

1T SPRINGS NEW ONE
1.-THE Other Mans Wife" Plays on
Imaginative Infidelity.

The problem play The Other Mans
Wife," appearing at the Majestic FRI
day evening and Saturday matinea
and night is credited with originating
a new phrase, imaginative Infidel-
ity." The word is ased in connection
with a discussion in the play of the
increasing number of divorces.
Mine of of ten divorce cases
would be eliminated" one of the
characters says, .'if the husband or
wife were not so anxious to uneaTth
errors in one another's past lives; {
they would cease to listen to, the
whisperings of scandalous hearsays'
Lambert's handling of the world-old
theme is forceful and clever in the
extreme. The play has received COM
mendation from the eastern critics for
it's sincerity and dramatic vigor.
