The, canine species has been re-

statement often heard made by men.
and also women.
The members of the Mankato fire

Before the wonders of the radio
were set before the public, the dos

in meeting incidental expenses. With
the arrival of the radio, Chief Fan
gerter, began building a radio set
and the money for the material was
taken from the dog fund. The chief.
built the entire set at the station,
and it is said to be one of the larg

the city.
Members of the department re
ceive great enjoyment while on duty
at the station in hearing all of the

probable that the local station will
sometime in the near future receive
a fire call by radio.

The best indication of c,ty's 20
sition as q retail and marketing

over a hundred miles, both by mail

large department stores that are en-
tirely as complete in their service

some. These stores are those bear.
ing the name of George z. Brett &
Co., j. c. Penny CO., Fred w. Kruse
Co. and Salet's Department Store.
These four stores do an enormous
volume of business and as a great
majority of the money taken in by
these firms is immediately put
into circulation within the limits

are as low as they can be made,
consistent with good merchandising.

fair occurred at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs L. Taylor. who reside north OF
Amboy, last Tuesday morning. Mrs:
Taylor was very badly burned about
ing one of the children near an air
tight stove. when in some manner her
clothing caught fire from. the stove
and before the fire on her clothing
could be extirguished she was quite
badly burned. In the effort to extin-
guish the fire on her, much of her
clothing was torn Off. Mr.. Rose, the
mail carrier on route four happened
along at this opportune time and gave
assistance in getting help from the
neighbors and in getting a physician
as soon as possible. II is hoped that
the burns will not prove too serious
and that she may soon fully recover
from her injuries and the effects OF
her frightful experience.

An independent Region
Blue Earth county is one of the
most progressive independent coun
ties in the state OF Minnesota,
There have been no business 1atI-
ures of any consequence In ats his
tory which have affected business
generally. There are very few poor
or dependent families and these are
we'll cared for and the present eco
nomic conditions have not caused
their adverses. In the main every
one is able to pay his bills or has
assets which will far more than
equal his Indebtedness. Monthly
collections OF current accounts are
made regularly and no one Is ask
ing to be carried over. .. g.
Mankato is made up of class OF
progressive, optimistic BUSINESS
men, all of whom are imbued with
the spirit of progressive advance
ment which is the true Characters
tic of the Westerner. They believe
in CO operation and have builded a
commercial center with an enviable
reputation for doing things. IT
From a general standpoint In
Mankato and Blue Earth county the
outlook for winter, spring and sum
mer of 1923 is exceptionally bright
What is needed in the main is the
fright psychology" ''As a man
thinketh in his heart, so is he," is
potentially true. One may think him
self into an era of depression, even
into sickness Of the body. But il
he conscientiously believes thai
things are going to be right they
will be right. Business conditions
here are sound at heart and an era
