The farmers between Duluth anu
st. Paul have applied to State Elk
ecutive Agent Sam Fullerton asking
permission to use their guns in pro-
tecting their crops from the deer
that are particularly numerous IN
these parts. Complaints are pour

some time. The farmers say the
deer are destroying their crops OF
sugar beets, and have requested
Agent Fullerton to allow them to
protect themselves.
A writer who evidently has had
more or less experience in the news
paper profession discourses as fol-
lows on the requirements of coun-
try editor: ''To run a successful
paper in a small town an editor
must have as much nerve as game
rooster and be as tender hearted as
spring chicken. He must be as
sympathetic as an old woman and
as hard hearted as a mule driver.
He must be stubborn and he must
not be. He should be kind and he
should be cranky. He should dis
play much learning and he should
display ignorance. He must please
the farmers and also the town.
people. He should attend to his
own business and also to other
peoples business. He should boost
everything that pleases the public
free of charge. Some people say
that an editor must have brains but
that is a mistake we can prove. If
an editor fills the above require
ments brains are not necessary.
