The people of Olivia showed at the recent
spirited school election there that they are not
to be bossed when it comes to standing up for
one of their honored citizens. The Journal print
ed lot of piffe about Jim Landy the candidate,
who happens to be the Journals competition in
asmuch as he is editor of the good old Olivia
Times. Everybody turned out to show Jim how
much they love him for the good staunch old
Irishman he is and he won over the Journals
candidate by hundred, fifty votes. When an
upstart and rather unsavory paper like the
Journal tries to dictate against man who was
serving Olivia while the Journal man was still
"deviling" in some out-of-the-way print shop, it
is time the citizens speak up and vindicate their
chosen one. Jim has his faults, the chiefest of
which is that he is rantin' rarin' Democrat but
he is as honest as it is possible for man to be,
The Journal man has probably found out that
Jim's townspeople had much the same opinion of
him that we have.

The St. Paul Dispatch is of the opinion that
there is no need to worry about vote Stacking in
the coming elections, that the three-cornered
presidential fight will bring all the voters upon
their toes and out at the polls. We wish we
could think the Dispatch has grounds for this
faith in the voting citizenry, but we can't find
much precedent to go on. For the past twenty
eight years the proportion of men and women
voting at each election has been steadily de-
creasing, and there have been some good stiff
contests on in that time The Dispatch is fail
ing in it's purpose real newspaper if it
doesn't sense the danger in this lack of interest
and do it's outmost to arouse voters to a sense
of their polling duty.

There was visitor from Nebraska in Win
dom last week and Minnesota will get along very
well if he never comes back to fish in our lakes
and enjoy our good roads and beautiful scenery.
Dudley Brady, game warden of this district, who
is always on the job, politely asked the man
about his Minnesota fishing license, and the man
chose to call the request an insult and created a
scene that was by no means complimentary to
himself. The writer was pleased on a recent
short fishing trip to see how quickly he was
checked up on by game warden who thought
he might be nonresident. People from out
side this state who are not willing to pay two
dollars to help Minnesota restock her lakes that
are being depleted by thousands of out-of-stat
fishermen every summer are not welcome in Min
nesota. They are not the sort who will do the
state any good by travelling through Window
Citizen.

Up North they urging that the closed
season on deer be continued for at least one more
year and that this season also be made closed
season on pheasants. Why not! One year or
two or ten is a mighty short time to make up
for all the slaughter that has been committed
in the past in the name of craftsmanship. If
you are among those interested in seeing the
game of Minnesota exist for future generations,
you will write to Governor Preus and to Game
Commissioner Gould and ask them to carefully
consider the matter of the closed seasons. The
hunters in your family may not approve of your
action, but you will have done real good TO
future generations

Thank goodness the recent Democratic con-
vention in New York has made it good form to
again sing "The Sidewalks of New ork'-same
tune and words 'neverthing, just as we sang it
years and years ago when all of the present
colder generation" were singing such frivolous
things and getting real kick out of it. 1t was
sung with lot of the time swing and vigor
by the old-time singers at the convention, and
like most old things that have had pep enough
to "come back" it must have sounded fine. Too
bad AL. Smith wasn't nominated song would
then probably have been real campaign song,
and maybe even Republicans would have been
allowed to join in on the chorus.

ACCUMULATED JUNK

I climbed up to the attic, yesterday,
To put some just-discarded stuff away,
And poking round among the rubbish heap
1 stirred some dusty memories from sleep.
Game of Bean Bag! Yes, upon my soul,
That sloping board with the skew-geed square
hole;
A Pigs-in-Clover Puzzle! Oh the hours
I wasted with it-and the nervous powers
A Ping Pong Set! Some discs, reds, blues and
pinks,
We used to use in playing Tiddley Winks!
A game of Crokinole-with little cues
For those whose fingers were too soft to use
For swapping. And deck for playing Pit!
Halma! Parches! At the end of it
A Pogo Stick on which we bounced and scared
But yesterday-and, last, Ouija Board!
Upon the heap the Nah Jongg set flung,
Sneezed, "Chow!" and went away. The door
slammed, "Pung!"

Contradictory Remedies

Oregon is given to bold brain
throbs, to virginity in thinking.
More than once she has turned from
the stale political tripe, offered by
secondhand minds, to prescribe for
herself.
Lately she has done some snappy
mental setting-up exercises on the
problems of agriculture. For, like
every other farm state, she has farm
trouble. Her fruit, stock and grain
growers are men of sorrow, acquaint-
ed with grief Also, these farmers
have the earache, and are bewild-
cred. Many voices are in the air.
To Oregon, as to every farm state
from coast to coast, has come an av-
alanche of advice-wise and other
wise.
Culled from this chorus of contra
dictions, here are a few of the cries
that bothered Oregon, just as they
bothered Kansas, Kentucky, and &C.
orgia. See how confusing they are,
paired and posed, the ayes against
the nays-and who is to say wheth-
er the ayes or nays shave it,"
Congress must act to save our ag-
riculture.
Laws can't save the farmers.
Grow more of what Europe wants.
Grow less of everything.
Give more farm credits.
Give less; too much hurts-look at
the Northwest!
Cruelty the middleman; everybody
cooperate.
"You can't" says the economist,
"He's a part of the works; he brings
city skill and capital. How could a
farmer growing onions in Texas drive
delivery wagon in Chicago?"
Raise the tariff!
Lower the tariff-the farmers
sugar costs too much.
More duty on Canadian hard wheat.
Yes-and your bread will cost you
more, objects the baker.
Back to the land!
Back to the city!
RAISE the import duty on cat.
tle," Texas cries.
"Take it off," urges Iowa-so we
can import feeders from Canada.
Millions for irrigation-more open
spaces for would-be farmers.
Stop it-too much land is already
plowed.

A WORTHY MOVEMENT

The prompt response of many lead
ers in various communities to the call
for aid in securing employment for
disabled former service men is suffi-
Gent to indicate that there are many
who have not forgotten the services
of those who went into the firing
lines across the sea. Wounds of war
left many soldiers unable to resume
their accustomed vocation when they
returned to civilian life. They must
either become objects of charity in
most cases or must be aided by the
government. The United States Vet
Grams Bureau trained many of these
former soldiers for new occupations
factory worker who could not re-
turn to that life because of weakened
lungs was trained for an open air
occupation, a blinded man was train
ed in broom making or similar oc-
cupation. Having trained the men
the Veterans Bureau was confronted
with the problem of securing employ
ment for them, and in doing this the
Bureau is appealing to the patriotic
impulses Of leading citizens and or
CARNATIONS in all parts Of the coun-
try.
The Veterans Bureau is able to
point to many instances where dis
abled men have been trained to new
occupations and have made good.
A veteran who has been through bat
tie fire, has touched the depths of
despair from wounds which appeared
to blacken his whole future, and has
pitched in with the governments help
and fitted himself for a new occupa-
ton in all probility will tackle his
job in civilian life with the same in
defatigable spirit which manifested
his service during the war. While
rendering aid to the disabled as a
patriotic duty, many business firms
may gain unusually faithful employees
by cooperating with the Veterans
Bureau in placing these rehabilitated
former service men.-From an editori-
al in the Bismarck IN. d. Tribune.

Alienists have stated that Loeb and Leopold
are capable Of distinguishing between right and
wrong but are incompetent mentally to choose be-
tween them. That is certainly hair splitting
distinction. By the same judgment every cri-
minal should be excused when he playfully
murders boy something equally trivial-just
as pastime while he is trying to make up his
mind whether to choose the attractive right or
the perfectly beautiful wrong.

Here in the country's heart,
Where the grass is green,
Life is the same sweet life
AS it e'er hath been.
Trust in a God still lives,
And the bell at morn
Floats with a thought of God
Ger the rising corn.
God comes down in the rain,
And the crop grows tall
This is the country faith
And best of all!

Consciously unconsciously Redwood Falls
has become the City of Hollyhocks. few
years ago the garden with a row or two of
these stately and multi-colored blooms was the
exception. Now it is rarely that passes a
yard where there is any pretense of flower rails
ing but what he says perfect groves of the tall
plants, with flowers of every shade from the
deep maroon vergng on the black, to the dainty
and frilly pale pink and salmon shades and
white. The effect is altogether lovely, and one
upon which the city may well congratulate it
self.

The editor of a Kansas paper states that
he borrowed Winchester rifle recently, and
started up the street to deliver the weapon to
it's owner The delinquent subscribers got it in
to their heads that he was on the warpath and
everyone he met insisted on paying what he
owed him. One man wiped out a debt of ten
years. standing On his return to his office he
found a load of hay fifteen bushels of corn, ten
bushels of apples, twenty-five bushels of pota-
toes, cord of wood and barrel of turnips that
had been brought in. All the country editors are
now trying to borrow Winchesters.

THE NOMINATING BEE

->"AKE my advice, and, if you ever get
the money-making bee, don't let 1T
get YOU" Lester T. Barker, wealthy
and retired st. Louis business man, is talking
The bee got him and it's sting has made him
unhappy, he candidly admits.
AS a "kid" Barker was like other boys He
read books and he found joy in the companion
ship of his playmates. Then he grew up and
went into business. He made his plans deliber-
ately and observed them rigidly. He would
make his pile and then play. His business be-
came his life. He avoided society and social re-
laxations. He read no books, save those whose
pages were filled with black and red figures
figures that told the daily story of his trade and
the profits thereof. Always he worked And
rches-great riches-at last were his.
Then he stepped out of his business and
sought the happiness he was sure his money
would buy. Came now the jolt of raw discovery
that money is not all and everything-that hap
piness is not commodity to be easily purchased
with dollars laid on a counter He discovered
that he had forgotten how to play, that he could
find no pleasure in book, that he could not sit
out good play, that he did not even know how
to mix agreeably with people. He discovered
that he had sacrificed quite all of the elements
in his character to the pursuit of money.
And now that money makes him unhappy.
81 worked too hard" says Barker, sadly, "but
not hard enough to kill me wear me out, but
too hard to form taste for the things that
money can buy. The lesson my experience has
taught me is that keeping your shoulder to the
wheel and pushing ahead, looking neither to right
nor left, and so forth, is not complete set of
directions for making success of life."
Barker is right. Others in his pathetic posi-
ton would admit it were they as honest as he
is. Money is nothing if it be thief of the head,
heart and soul and fellowship of human beings.
Many poor rich men attest this truth by conduct.
Barker frames its bitterness into words.-Ex.
