We had the pleasure of attend
ing the st. Louis County Fair at
Hibbing Sunday and will say in all
candor that the show put on by Con
Kepple and Dick Giffin compared
with anything we have ever seen at
the State Fair with one exception
quantity. The st. Louis County ex-
hibition had everything. The dis
play of blooded cattle was superior
to anything ever shown in the
county and the poultry exhibit left
nothing to the Imagination. The
farm and garden products surpassed
in every item as did also the canned
goods and ladies' handiwork. The
Public Health booth, the Child We'll
fare booth, the Model Home booth
and the Chisholm broom factory
maintained by the blind people,
were particularly attractive and the
entertainment provided was of the
best. ST. Louis County should feel
proud of it's fair, considered the
best county fair in the state. Con-
sidering the fact that Duluth went
"blooey" on the fair proposition
years ago and that Hibbing has
made a success of the institution
after the Duluth blow-up, the range
management deserves all credit for
its success.

Irregularities of the ground. Special
care is needed in such localities.
The danger is particularly marked
where these roads are narrow as
they are in many rural and billy
sections. On many of these roads
there is barely room for two cars
to pass under any conditions. It
seems almost crazy for drivers to
tear along on such narrow and
curving roads. If they meet an
other car, they ought to go quite
slowly anyway, even if there were
no curves, to make sure that they
would pass without hitting.-Ex-

CONSIDER OUR ADVANTAGES

Practically every home in this ma.
ton has advantage Of modern con.
veniences resulting from develop
-ment of electricity, telephone, radio
gas and quick transportation.
If service rendered by these util.
tiles had not been made nation wide
and their output figured on guam
tity basis, not even kings could
afford to pay for a fraction of con.
veniences which the American home
has today for few dollars a month.
Electricity, gas and telephone are
the greatest servants Of American
housewives.
In France, the American Com
mercial Attache at Paris says tele.
phone and telegraph service are
causing proposals to take operation
out of hands of the government and
turn it over to private companies.
In Austria, telephone operators
on the government system are re-
ported to deliberately slow up calls
when refused passes on the govern
ment railroads.
In London the telephone is a lux
ury only for the rich, while in
Czecho- Slovakia it is a case of buy
government telephone bonds or lose
your phone.
And so it goes, while here in the
U. S. there is telephone in almost
every home and it is connected with
every other phone in the United
States.
What we call household neces-
sites in the u. S. are considered
Injuries in Europe. What a monu-
ment to American initiative and en-
terprise.

We have always been led to be-
lieve that the down-state farmer was
in the insolvency class simply be-
cause the government did not guar
antee the selling price of wheat,
potatoes, etc. Now comes the Long
Prairie Leader with the assertion
that there have been 178 autos sold
in Long Prairie this summer and
only half dozen grain binders.
This would not be so bad, but the
Leader makes the claim that nearly
all the cars were bought on time
and that the banks have had to in
crease the size of the clips that
hold the past due notes. The Lead
er also makes the statement that last
years gasoline sales in it's town
amounted 10 more than the total
output of the creamery (the COM
munity's largest productive enter
prise) for six months and that the
garage bills on the unpaid cars will
amount to more than the entire
potatoe crop of the county. Sure.
Let the government guarantee the
price of wheat for the farmer. Also
while in the guaranteeing business
let's have a guarantee on printing,
blacksmithing, mining, numbering,
merchandising, doctoring, dentistry
and a hundred or two other neces-
sary callings. A guarantee of the
farmers notes for cars might also
be in order.

A motor trip over trunk highways
in different parts of the state quick
ly bears out the contention of Com
missioner Babcock that the most
economical move for the state to
make in its highway program is a
bond issue to take care of the re-
naming needed improvements as
fast as possible. Gravel highways
carrying heavy traffic such as No.
from the Twin Cities to Duluth will
not stand up under ordinary main
tenance unless carried on in a man.
ner that makes the cost prohibitive
and from a money saving standpoint
alone, the sooner they are paved the
better. In other parts of central
and southern Minnesota where traf-
fic is not so heavy gravel highways
are answering the purpose admir-
ably and ordinary maintenance
keeps them in a condition that
makes driving a joy. With these
facts fast sinking into the minds
of the people of the state, jockey
ing with the highway program such
as took place in the 1923 legislat-
ure will prove decidedly unpopular
again in 1925i-Biwabik Times.

Eyes, WE HAVE NO BANANAS. y

The most popular song of the
moment has this silly refrain, which
threatens to become a classic of in
sanity. 1t is so utterly nonsensical
that bare repetition of the words
is a signal for unrestrained hilarity.
But real explanation of the popu-
larity of this vegetarian jazz tune
, may be found in the state of the
public mind, which is assailed on
every side by emphatic negative de-
clarations.
The world seems suddenly to have
gone bankrupt of alternatives. Those
to whom we might ordinarily look
for guidance have nothing definite
to offer. Even demagogues who
peddle panaceas find their stocks
low, but they keep up the hawker's
cry. They have no panaceas today,
but they have nice overripe toma-
toes that may be thrown at the
other fellow.
It is an old business trick, this of
CLOSING over the Deficiencies in a
given line by offering something
"just as good" But more recently
the practice has been less success
full than formerly. Those who
have standard products to offer
brand them SO there can be no
mistake, and the public has been
educated to demand the original and
accept no substitutes. Some meas
ure of this kind should be adopted
to end the traffic in political neg
atives. If pushcart politicians haven't
any bananas they should be COM
PEELED to stop agitating the other.

For many years the press of the
United States has fought the free
distribution of garden seeds by Con-
gress. This paper, this past spring,
urged it's readers to beware of gov
eminent garden seeds. Disregard
ing the advice of the World, several
sent for government seeds, and this
is the first year or first time we ever
knew Congressional seed to
sprout. This year they, or some of
them, did splendidly, the seeds sown
for radishes terminated and brought
forth healthy sprouts which de-
veloped into a fine quality of must
ard. Of all the dirty CRAFTS of
which the United States congress is
party to, and there are many, this
free seed distribution is the vilest.
There is only one redeeming feat
ure about the whole thing and that
is the opportunity it gives the seed
houses to unload their worthless
seed to the government at big
price. Again we sound the warning,
beware of Congress at all times but
more particularly when they write
you and offer free garden Seeds

DRIVING AROUND CURVES.

Laws and rules for automobile
safety usually require operators to
drive slowly around curves and to
sound horn where you can not see
ahead. Yet many drivers persist in
driving rapidly around twisting
roads where they are unable to
look ahead, and they rarely sound
their horns.
Such drivers have an easy going
feeling that they could stop in
season if they saw a car approach
ing. They might be able to do so
if one was coming around a curve
very slowly. But if another car
was coming at anything the same
rate as their own, it would be al
most impossible to avoid a smash.

dents occur as the result of such

LINCOLN'S TRUST IN THE TOLL.
Err

"The prudent penniless beginner
in the world labors for wages, a
while, saves surplus with which to
buy tools or land for himself, then
labors on his own account another
while, and at length hires another
beginner to help him. This is the
just and generous and prosperous
system which opens the way to all,
gives hopes to all, and consequently
energy and progress and improve
ment of condition to all. No men
living are more worthy to be trusted
than those who toll up from poverty,
none less inclined to take or touch
aught which they have not honestly
earned"
The United States offers the op-
portunity for the humblest man or

A WONDERFUL OBJECT LESSON

" 49, oSS-~A AIooStN.
The law of supply and demand
works slowly but with irresistible
force.
A few months ago we were told
by political prophets that gasolene
would be dollar gallon unless
the oil industry was placed under
political control. But high prices
resulted in undreamed of crude oil
output and stored supplies of petrol
cum products.
Old man Supply and Demand
must sit back and laugh. He knows
that present low prices will discour-
age output of crude oil and when
our reserve supply is low the price
will begin to clumb in order to en-
courage production.
The politicians will cry out that
the oil combine is robbing the con-
sumner and that government control
is necessary to stop the outrage.
And then how Old Man Supply and
Demand will laugh.
It's a great life for those who
have sense enough to learn the les
sons that nature teaches but it's
easy to fool those who pass the les
son by.
