Still there are cynics who keep on
parroting the familiar refrain: "You
can't stop warfare because man is
fighting animal, and human nature
never changes" Yes, we will fight;
but people who used to fight each other
are beginning to fight armament and
taxes and poverty and ignorance and
disease.-Red Wing Eagle.

Sure Thing, O'Brien.
The photographers have been Won
dering what the men of Ireland will
do when they can't fight against Eng
land. See what happened in st. Paul
when Mr.. Gibbons debated with Mr..
O'Dowd with no talking aloud. Don't
worry about the Irish, they'll get
along peaceably even if they have to
fight for it.-Edcn Valley Journal.

Cheerfulness in the Air.
Looks as if the 'deflation" process
is nearing it's end and that more busy
times may be expected in the coming
year. Interest rates are dropping,
industries are employing more people
and activity in building is increasing
everywhere. 1t may take year or
two yet to get back to the steady
progress before the war, but it is
coming.-Warroad Pioneer.

Back to Old Dobbin.
1t is highly probable that Roscau
county will abandon the use of ma
chinery driven by gasoline and go back
to horsepower driven by oats in it's
road work the coming year. Horse
power and oats have gotten cheaper,
while gasoline is still much higher
than before the war; And, besides
that, it is desirable to keep the money
spent on road improvements within
the county-Warroad Pioneer.

Young Blood to the Farm.
One of the great lamcnts in agri-
culture has been the tendency of the
young to leave the farms and seek the
towns. Now the tide has begun to
flow the other way, and agriculture is
in fair way to get the young blood
which it needs. A grange lecturer
recently told his hearers that he had
noted a marked "back to the soil"
movement. What struck him particu-
larly was the high percentage of
young people who were taking up and
starting to develop abandoned farms.
This is very likely true in many states,
and it is one more proof of the sense,
intelligence and courage of the coun-
try's young men and women.-Rcd

Good! Hadley Loves the Movies.
We confess that we like the movies.
We don't mind telling the whole world
that We enjoy seeing hero Peerless.
Pete foil the attempts Of A1kali Al to
make way with the conveyed heroine.
We yearn to see the fearless hero dive
off the cliff, and come up from the
depths with pocketfu1l of gold with
which to ransom Kittic, the Kareless
Kid, from the clutches of the pirates.
And we also crave to see the comedian
plaster the Innocent Old Party in the
whiskers with an over-ripe custard ric,
and to see the fussy cop stop a dissi-
pated tomato with the end of his nose
is to reach the very acme of delight.
And thus we confess to an eager and
expectant popu1ace that we are a low
brow, and crude, coarse, and even
Grass person. We like to see these
things in the movies because they
drive dull care away, and relieve the
tension of the everyday grind. And if
this be against your cultured class,
make the most of it!-Winnebago En-
terprise.
