PLACE GUARD OVER TONGUE
For Evil 10 Wrought by Want Of
Thought as Well az Want
Of Heart

Whether we give occasion or not
there are those who In certain moods
will speak spitefully Of anybody, and
there are some who 20 about speaking
evil OF everybody.
Yet these very people, even those
whose lips rarely open but to utter
something malicious, may have good
ness in their hearts which would pre-
vent them from malicious action. II
we Judge them by their deeds we may
ind them no worse than their neigh
bors-perhaps better; IL We judge
them by their words we have TO con
denim them severely.
But In reality the least part Of the
Inatter is that which concerns our
selves; the serious part is that which
concerns the character OF the back
bitter. The whole character Is vitiated
and perverted by this unhappy habit !:

restraint, and can only grow from bad

GREAT ARTISTS IN DISC0RD
Famous italian Painters Evidently
Were Not Easy Persons to
Get Along With.

In the golden age OF art In Italy
Michelangelo. Leonardo and Raphael
painted side by side in Florence foI
a short time. There was continual dis
cord between Leonardo and Michel
angelo causing the latter to leave
Florence. Not to be outdone In cour.
tesy a. discourtesy, Leonardo departed
for France Although we should like
to think of the masters living In har-
mony. II would seem that considerable
friction existed among them.
Michelangelo, say his commentators
had particularly caustic tongue. He
could not brook criticism. Francia, the
painter and goldsmith, who went to see
a bronze statue of Pope Julius III, or
dered by that pontiff and which the
master had just finished, was thought
to have censured II. After calling him
a Ounce before the people standing
near, Michelangeio remarked to a son
OF Francia, noted for his beauty: "The
living figures made by the father are
than those he paints"

Certified Potato Seed
Bringing Nice Profits

Growers of certified potato
seed in Minnesota in 1922 are
making some money in spite of
low market prices for potatoes
generally. Minnesota certified
seed stock is in strong demand
and will be planted this year in
Long Island and Pennsylvania on
the east and in Florida and New
Mexico on the south. Ohio, Indi-
ana, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska,
Iowa, Michigan and many other
states are buyers of Minnesota
seed. Prices have ranged from
so cents to $l,30 per hundred
weight.
According to A. G.. Tolaas, of
University Farm, state Inspector,
all certified stock grown in the
Red river valley was sold some
time ago. the supply failing to
equal the demand. These pota-
toes were mostly Early Ohios and
Cobblers. The demand for the
Green Mountains has not been so
great because certified seed of
this variety has generally been
supplied by growers in north
east states. However, a Minneso-
Ia county agent reports the sale
of car of certified Green Noun
tains to Pennsylvania to be
grown in competition with seed
potatoes from Maine, Vermont,
and New York.
Increased acreages of potatoes
planned for certifcation are pre-
dicted this year by Mr.. Tolaas and
all potato men at University
Farm. More inquiries and appli-
cations for the work are being re-
ceived than ever before.

kNUTE NELSON

Minnesota has lost one of its
greatest citizens.
From a very humble beginning
coming to America from Nor,
way with his parents as immi.
grants, when a small boy Knute
Nelson rose TO become one of the
great men of the country.
Twenty-eight years in the
United States Senate, governor of
Minnesota, member of legisla-
lures of two states Wisconsin
and Minnesota public servant
for over 80 years is a record that
but few attain. Mr.. Nelson also
served his country in the Civil
war and wasone of the real pio-
neers of Minnesota's prairies.
Minnesota paid homage to its
great citizen when thousands of
friends and admirers viewed the
body of this venerable old man
when it lay in state at the capi-
tol rotunda Tuesday. A special
train carried the body accompa-
MED by prominent state officials
and friends from various parts
of the state to the old home at
Alexandria where the funeral
was held yesterday, attended by
thousands of plain everyday
folks and friends of the Senator.
Knute Nelson's name goes
down in history as one of the
big men of the country self
made man-o who has worked
his way up from the bottom rung
of the ladder. He has set a good
example.

WHY NOT HALLAMs

The names of several men
have been mentioned as possible
successors to Knute Nelson as
United States Senator from Min
nesota-among them former Sem
ator Frank B, Kellogg, Governor
J. A. o. Preus. State Supreme
Court Judge Oscar Hallam and
julius II. Barnes.
II is up to the Governor to
make the appointment and
much as he would undoubtedly
like to fill the higher position
himself he will most likely APP
point some one else. This would
also be good grace on his part.
As for Mr.. Kellogg it would
hardly seem possible that the
Governor would appoint him. he
having Just been turned down by
the voters last<fall when Henrik
Shipstead was elected TO the
Senate. II is not probable either
that Mr.. Kellogg would accept
the office were il rendered him.
There has not been much talk of
Mr.. Barnes so he is probably not
in the race.
Should the Governor appoint
Mr.. Hallam il will surely please
many throughout the state
most likely a majority of the vo-
tiers. Mr.. Hallam has been state
supreme court judge for about
10 years and previous to that
was district judge in Ramsey
county for several years. AS
such he has had much good ex-
perience that fits him well for
the high office of United States
Senator, He is a plain everyday

Optical illusion.

Motion pictures are in reality a com.
bination of still pictures. The first
picture Of the automobile shows the
spokes Of the wheels In one position.
II the next exposure of the film were
made when spoke number one had ad-
vnnced far enough to be In the posi-
ton Of spoke number two. the picture
would show no motion, as spokes are
Identical II spoke no one had ad.
vanced less than half way to position
of spoke two, the forward motion
would be noticed. II, however, spoke
ono advances more than half way. to
the observer II would have the effect
OF spoke two moving backward, as
that distance would be shorter and the
apparent motion would be in that di.
rection.

ORCHARD AND
GARDEN NOTES

A rich, friable, deep. well
drained soil will grow good vege.
tables.
Schwaben. Mrs. Pendleton
Prince of Wales, Panama and
loneliness are all good varieties
Of gladiolus.
Locate the family garden near
the house. 1t is easier TO care for
and to harvest its products.
Careful grading pays. whether
the product to be marketed is
fruit, vegetables or flowers.
Red radishes, like Scarlet Globe
are more popular than white
sorts. Bright colored fruits or
vegetables always seem to sell
easiest.
Most birds are friends of the
plant grower. Special efforts
can well be taken to encourage
the nesting of quail, pheasants
and song birds on every farm.
First or second paintings of
vegetables should be made now.
Grow a large variety Of vege-
tables, at least Is or 20 kinds.
1t is easy to keep children in
the home if there is something
to interest them. Pleasant sur
roundings, a garden, an acre of
corn, a calf, chickens, or a hog
all their own often is deciding
factor in making young folks like
