Just For Fun

 Home life is disappearing and country life is disappear ing, according to the Blueber- Try Kid. He thinks about all there is left is volta life.
 The Lord loveth a cheerful Igiver, but. not a giyer of, the measles. Somerset, Vt. went solid for Coolidge--eight votes, four men and their wives. The wives went solid and there was no argument.
 A certain Hyder lady is peev- ed at the idea that a woman cannot wear a pair of golf knickers in broad daylight and excite no more comment than a white mule with pink stripes running around him from end to end.
 Barber: Good morning, sir. I haven't seen your face for a long time"
 Customer: That's funny. I left most of it on your razor the last time I was here"
 Dad, what is an advertise ment?"
 An advertisement, my son, is a picture of a pretty girl eating wearing, holding, or driving something that somebody is trying to sell. Noel says ybu have to give some men credit for bringing home the bacon. If you didn't give them credit they couldn't get the bacon to bring home. mddav: nHave " you read To a Field
 No, how did you get 'em to Ilisten?"
 J. O's Ford has suffered a nervous breakdown. It's been shaking for two weeks and it broke down the other day.
 We don't see why they speak of standing engagements when you don't have to stand any thing until after you are mar ried.
 Customer "How much is this suit?"
 Yael Twenty five dollars"
 Couldn't you sell it to me cheaper?"
 Sure I could, but I wouldn't make as much profit" "
 But I do not know you, mad am," said the bank teller in his loftiest manner.
 The woman was red-headed and she got 'red-headed" in minute. She said: "Oh, yes, you do. I don't need anyone to identify me. Pm the red-head- cd 'hen' next door to you whose 'imps of boys are al- ways running across your gar den. When you started to town this morning your wife said: Now Henry, if you want a din- ner fit to eat this evening, you will have to leave me a little money. I can't keep this house on Christian Science"
 Here is your money" inter- 1upted the paying teller very faintly, as he showed out the coin.
 Business is a funny thing. The outcome depends on the income,

A typographical error in a Washington newspaper makes one statesman refer to his wife as his "bitter half" She prob ably will be so now if never be- fore.

ever be accomplished by any organ
ization without the team work of its
members.
1t is probably this aim of dramatic
work rather than the desire to put
on an artistic performance that has
brought about the Little Country
Theatre idea. Furthermore play
benefits those taking part, giving
them an opportunity for gaining self
confidence before an audience and
providing them with genuine whole-
some recreation. 1t benefits the whole
community by affording the best sort
of entertainment which has grown
directly out of the life of that COM
munity.
Fortunately for amateur actors the
modern idea of stagecraft is simplici-
ty of setting. Stage scenery, then,
need present no problems of difficulty.
1t is possible to secure good plays of
literary value, Astounding in fun, with
out payment of heavy royalty.
The many rural organizations of
Redwood County have been doing
splendid work in producing plays.
Anyone wishing to do so is invited to
write to Miss Katherine Kester at
University Farm, st. Paul, for advice
and assistance.

and who produce the necessities OF
life do so in silence. The brain that
plans the great things, the hand that
does the skilled work, withdraws into
the silence.
The men and women who have &C
complished along the line of the uplift
of man have not had their advent
heralded by brass bands.
Those who have healed the sick and
brought food to the starving have not
employed publicity agents.
The helpers, the saviors, the sanity
men and women of the ages have been
workers of the quiet and unobtrusive
kind.
1t is back to these people of sub
stance that the world must ever come.
The saviors of the race arc its silent
men.
Seldom are the great things done
by the great noise makers.
The loneliness of the wilderness, the
agony of the garden must be borne
in the silence before the triumph of
the cross is possible.
You remember that the Lord was
not in the storm, He was not in the
earthquake. He was not IN the fire
but there came a still small voice
when calm was restored and through
it the Lord spake unto his messenger.
1t is not more amplifers that we
stand in need of.
Rather do we need more men and
women who are willing to enter the
silence-who are willing to do the
work that the world needs to have
done without insisting on having a
brass band marching in advance.

Noise! That's the ticket!'
Years ago the telephone came into
use as noise spreader.
Now that much employed and great
ly serviceable appliance has been
found far too slow and so the radio
has come.
This last invention makes it possible
to spread noise for thousands of miles.
The speed craze and the noise craze
go hand in hand.
To travel the fastest and to be
heard the farthest is the ambition that
absorbs most men.
Speed in whatever is undertaken is
the one element that the age seems
to insist upon. 1t matters little about
other things, if only speed can be as
sured
Besides, someone has said that all
this projecting of the voice through
space, by telephone and radio, does
not do great deal of good unless
there is something worth while to
communicate.
We have instruments for amplify-
Ing Vic WIZ, says IflC SdIuC
but we have no instruments for ampli-
flying thought.
After all, we can transmit and
transmute and transfer and trans
cribe and translate and transport
thought, but there are no instruments
yet invented that will enhance the
value of that thought, intrinsically.
So what good does it really do to
have this rapid transmission when
there is so little improvement in the
quality of the thing transmitted?
Did you ever stop to think that the
silent people of the world are the ones
who accomplish things?
The men and the women who do the
worlds work are not constantly talk
ing into transmitter.
The thought forces that melt and
weld the ore of existence are not born
in the whirlwind-they come to us
from the depths of life.
Society may suffer from and be
shaken by various waves of sentiment
that pass over it. But there is dang
er only from the plot that is Matched
in the recesses of some sulien, cum
ming, silent mind

We say that this or the other man
was or is great man.
What do we mean when we say
that? Who, or what, is great man
The estimate of the world indicates
that he is great who has been able to
make "stir," as they call it.
The world makes its measurements
upon standard of action and noise.
If man has been sufficiently busy,
has piled up enough finished or unfin-
ished business to make the world take
notice of him, he is great.
If he has been able to make noise
enough, he is frequently elevated into
the company of the great, whether or
not he has accomplished anything.
After all it is the noise that counts.
This age, above all ages, is the age
of noise.
Governments are swayed by mass
meetings.
Statesmen who think have been re-
placed by politicians who talk.
