A Credit Bureau.

The first meeting taking action up
on the matter of organizing a credit
association in Blue Earth, was held
at the Commercial club rooms last
Friday evening, at which time c. C.
Hanson, secretary of the Albert Lea
association accompanied by president
and one director were here and placed
before those behind the movement in
Blue Earth, the methods and manner
of operation at April Lea. The sue
cess of the organization at Albert Lea
convinced those present of the desir-
ability Of such an organization in Blue
Earth, and steps will be taken at once
to perfect permanent society here,
which will be affiliated with the Al
bert Lea company. A committee was
appointed to solicit local membership
and a meeting is called for this even
ing when steps looking to permanent
organization will be launched.
1t isn't an organization having for
it's object the establishment of a
strictly cash business, but to more
successfully protect the business man
against the professional dead beat.
And the man who pays cash or his ac-
counts promptly, is just as much in
terested and benefited by this as the
business man himself. Blue Earth

 The commission appointed by President Harding is only working along independent lines but is cooperating with the of congress which have in charge needed legislation.
 There is every to believe that official Washington thoroughly appreciates how remiss the government has been in caring heroes and is making sincere and intelligent to right the wrong.

 What is the truth about it all?
 The truth is they do and they do not tell the truth Or to put the paradox differently they tell the truth about the single incident and misleading evidence as to the general
 Newspapers spend enormous sums, in the aggre- gate get actual facts. And rule they report only actual facts. If for other reason because it would be too vast and impossible task to lie.
 The newspaper is the institution that is closest to the people, It sells for very small and depends won't read paper they think lies regularly, and paper nobody reads is doomed.
 For all that, the newspaper is not safe organ of generalization. It tells the unusual. And the unusual is on the whole, and in the long run, not
 It is the ordinary and commonplace that is widely true. Yet who wants to read it?
 Alexander Black brings out the point in The Gen. tury If what you on the first page of the news paper is unusual then, he says, people in general % not punishing thinkers not dissatisfied with their land lords not fevershly interested in clothes and not rotic about sex."s
 The items in the paper are not safe basis upon which generaize. The only safe facts to go those published in the tables of life insurance panies in the long pages of fine print in the Congre

 To read newspaper intellgently needs a heavy ballast of common sense. Else he sumps into panic and pessmism. For pessmism is due simply to an incapacity unwl ngness to to general conclusions, which are the only kind. I Science as MT.

Waass and Lixina

The railroads mistaken when they declare that the basis for last increases of wages has been wiped out. The basis the high cost of living which had existed for time before the later increases allowed. Up to that allowance the employees who had not shared in the earlier i'm following the enactment of Adamson law. had received the of it.
 It is true that there been . reduction of the of living-some reduction but the most of the reduction hear of is statistics and statistics prepared paper The consumer has yet been brought into touch with greatly lowered cost of living. certainly not with figures remotely ap- preaching those of the pre-war period.
 Generally there has been throughout the country a very slight if any, diminution of Meats nowhere prices. Sugar. beans. potatoes, rice and few other articles which scared dinarily during the far from before the prices but they constitute but small part of the cost of living.
 We think it may be said that on the average the toll of living about fifty per higher than it above before the and probably not more than twenty per below the basis on which the wages raised.
 In an interview with Milton Bronner corre- spondent of the Newspaper Enterprise Association. printed by The Republican the other day, Lord Haldane championed the cause of working people of the word-ther efforts maintain and improve their standard of living.
 Lord Haldane deprecates the hue and cry raised by certain reactionary business interests which de- mand that labor give all it's gains part the of reconstruction that going throughout the world
 He admits that some temporary establishments Of wages and conditions may necessary but points out that too people when they talk of labor and wages and standrds of living to overlook the fact that the old social order is passing and that better state is in process of chevement most of the civilized nations
 This better be founded on a more equitable distribution of the good things of life.
 Haldane made the challenging statement that if there is industry unable competition while paying decent wages, it would better off for the nation that that industry exist.
 At first blush. this may pretty radical doc trine especially those who still cling to the old theory that labor is a commodity.
 But, fortunately for the future well-being and happiness of worlds workers theory pretty thoroughly discredted
