Competition or Socialism?

Regardless of whether Towney is honest of purpose

Passing of the Pioneer

(By Gunnar B. Bjornson in the Minneota MascoD
How new is not that community that point to
people still living in it and They are pioneers
of this locay! All through this section of the state
we do that.
There are still with and women who came
here forty and fifty years ago. upon the threshold
of manhood and womanhood
All these people came here young. Many of them
came from different parts this country but most of
them probably from foreign lands All of them came
because they thought that they could better their
living conditions
How little do the children, the young people of
today about the life of the pioneers! True they
have heard their parents tell about the early days and
they have probably read accounts of the life on
the prai:es fifty But to them it is all dream
story A thrilling of the frontier!
The young farmer of today puts in his seed with
a drill cuts his hay with mower gathers it with
leaders, stackera and hayork3. His grain he cuts with
sef-binder, his field he plows with tractor. His
threshing he does with as-propelled separator He
haus his rloduce to market in automobile truck and
he to town, to do his shopping in that cost
than all the equipment thar his father and mother
had when they began farming. lights his home with
electricity and his barns even og-houses
studded with electric bulbs
And many of the pioneers have lived to see it oil!
Surely the Lord has blessed til: people wis came
here in those early days to build bones upon the
praires!
But to most of these pioneers there are but few
days left.
The sun is fast sinking in the west and soon they
will carried-n automobile hearse-to the little
ground that probably they themselves helped
and haow, Death paid his first visit to the
little community of which they formed part.
Do you remember pioneer funeral-not the present
of pioneer, but funeral of the pioneer days?
If you do, it probably where yoke of oxen
drew old lumber wagon in which was a homemade
coffin, blackened with burnt cork followed by small
procession consisting of the household of the dead
the few neighbors who constituted the community al
on foot Probably there a minister along-but more
likely not.
Then again you may remember funeral something
like the one that impressed itself child-mind
in those early days. 1t was not an imposing one

there but few roads in and in winter
The scene is the interior of small farmhouse On

the night before make this mysterious box. We had
the little form laid into and the lid nailed down
Now to start its last Journey Father, mother
the carpenter and one two others stood in a row
the floor and sang hymn. Someone read prayer.
Then the carpenter and the father each end of
the bier picked the little black box and carried it
out through the door and deposited it within the hearse
rather they placed it upon little hand sleigh that
stood at the door, ready for the Journey The distance
to the graveyard several miles The father bid the
wife and the family goodbye, threw the sleigh-rope
his shoulder and followed by the carpenter started
off on the weary trudge to the cemetery.
That pioneer funeral
But those days are gone-and the men who figured
in them bravely, and the who watched and
waited and worked and suffered during that period of
stress and loneliness, also going. Soon it will all

Truthfuy and justly do say that this country
has done much for these newcomers" But it also

must attest who the barren, and wild praries of
Minnesota generation ago-that these same "new-
corners" have done lot for this country.
So much of the progress and achievement that
about is the work of their hands. Against the
promise that the soil they staked their lives
They not only planted grain but they planted them
selves their lives in the SOIL How is not Of
them: Except of wheat fall into the ground
and die it abideth aone if it die it bringeth

Year by year. from the day of their first coming
here the pioneers have fallen into the ground
and there has been much fruit.

Political Slander Rebuked

The Minnesota corrupt practices law has teeth in
it, after all. The Supreme Court has approved the

the District Court in the Volstead-Kvale case.
1t appears that candidate for Congress, any
other Office cannot circulate falsehoods about his
ponent and get away with it. There is legal penalty

candidate.
While the Supreme Court did follow the lower

the same. either the Congressional Committee will
meet and Volstead the nominee, failing
that the nominee under the provision of

The judicial rebuke to Mr. Kvale for falsely accus
ing his opponent of being atheist is thus severe
But under our defective primary law he Pot estopped
from running independently by petition. The Non
partisan League will doubt put him forward in this
way the primary battle between Volstead and Kvale
will be fought again.
The result, however, may we'll be reversed Mr..

Hard Boiled Eoos.

]. Lester Hyman, farmer near Lo-
gansport, says that on Easter morning
he heard one of his Black Langshan
hens cackle in the hennery Of his
farm. He hurried to the place. and
there on the floor lay nice brown
egg. 1t was still warm. The man pro
ceeded to the house to fry the egg for
breakfast.
Giving 1t to his wife, who was at
the stove frying other eggs, he asked
that this fresh one be cooked for him.
On attempting to crack the egg to
place the contents in the skillet 1t was
found to be hard-boiled. Hyman's
hopes Of having hen that laid lard
boiled eggs were shattered when his
wife remembered that she had just
placed egg shells taken from boiled
eggs In the hennery and that the hard
boiled egg found had undoubtedly been
left among them.-Indianapolis News
