ISTEN to the following! 1t isn't disserta-

Gunnar Bjornson of the Minnesota Mascot ad-
roitly(?) handles the situation when he finds
himself put in a position to choose between the
two feminine candidates for superintendent OF
county schools lover in Lyon Cu-ty. llever
Well we should say so! Gunnar has both OF the
"girs" positive now that he is for "Me'- and
everything is lovely Talk about diplomacy
the Icelandic gentlemen of Lyon has everything
we ever saw backed clean off the boards. Just
listen to him
"Well at any rate, both girls are plucky, en-
thusiastc, pretty and vivacious-a1d let US tip
this off to you, gentle reader each one of them
told us that the other was fine type of a wo-
man and thoroughly qualified to hold the office!
What do you think of that!
"And they are "women in politics" too
"Darn the luck, girls, wish we could vote
for both of you.
"If we are to have universal suffrage and n
iversal running for office by women, then we
would like to suggest that a law be passed pro-
hibiting more than woman to run for one and
the same office at one and the same time.
eve should demand the enactment of a law
like that on purely constitutional grounds. The
preamble to our constitution says that man has
a right to the unhampered pursuit of happiness"
and when it comes to two women running for
the same office where is there the voter who
does not feel: "How happy could be with 'ther
were the other dear charmer away"
We defy anyone to tell from the above effu-
sion whether Gunaar is for women's suffrage
or merely for the women.

PAT ON THE BACK

PAT on the back is wonderful thing,
~ Il gives man courage to whistle and sing;
a When hope is departing the outlook IS grim
nat on the back then says volumes to him.

Just dig in your toes and get busy and fight,
There's one man behind you-go to it, old man;
One pal who is true that you can, that you can
nat on the back from stranger or friend
When your jaw starts to sag and your knees start
to bend
Will bring you right up with courage and
grit
And you'll keep in the fight when you were go
ing to quit.
You'll feel it, you'll hear it-yes, actually hear
For hours saying, "Dig in old fellow. Don't
fear it;
That isn't as hard as it looks Be man;
There's a fellow back there who believes that
you can
Just pat on the back And for days and for days
No matter how far you may roam, it still stays
Bv YOUR side and no matter how hard be your
fight
It's whispering always: you'll come out alright
There's a fellow back there who's believing IN
you,
Expecting each minute to you come through
With YOUR colors still flying and eading your
clan!"
And the first thing yu know you are saying u

Oh, pat on the back is wonderful thing.
The touch of it's magic; I've known it to bring
Back hopes that were fleeti1g and strength that
seemed gone
And smiles that had vanished, and urge man on
When it seemed that he couldn't step advance
more
Till he conquered. And that's what Pm singing
this for;

"JUST AMERICANS"

FAVE we unconsciously been exaggerati1g
n the part our boys are playing in the turn
= of events in France? Possible; at any
rate the Herald had letter the other day from
a soldier abroad who said that American news
papers were making it very embarrassing for our
soldiers there by playing them up too vainglori-
ousy in the 'front.' page headlines.
Certainly we have every right to be proud OF
them, and probably little exaggeration of the
proportions of the situation may be forgiven us.
And it is no exaggeration whatever to say that
our boys have met most manfully every active
duty that has come to them, and have done it in
an irresistible spirit of unquenchable valor that
ranks them with the best fighters of all nations
and no war in all history ever developed braver
fighters than those of France and Great Britain
and her colonies. IA
However, those who are beginning to feel that,
in justice to the gallant fighters Of France and
Britain and Belgium and Italy, we ought to re-
strain jubiations little, might take note
of what others than Americans are saying about
our boys. No prettier tribute has been paid them
than this little rhyme by "a. W." in the London
Chronicles:
You must not call them Sammies,
You should not call them Yanks,
And if you call them doughboys,
Loud laughter splits their ranks;
You will not call them Buddies,
And when on Kultur's track
You need not call them forward,
You cannot call them back.

Fred Wise says that if every farmer who plant
ed barley next year were to be fined certain
amount for every acre he planted, the problem
of wheat raising would be automatically taken
care Of Fred says something more about bar
ley attaining it's proper place and being diverted
to it's proper use, otter the war is won and the
wheat need isn't so great But we leave just
what that was to TIE readers imagination. Any
way his idea about the barley fine isn't at all
a bad one-only will it be necessary next year
for the government to resort to compulslon with
American farmers? Afer this years experience
it surely ought not to be.
