From Larry Ho comes these Beatitudes fro'
the pen of DR.. Edgar Whitaker of New York
Larry insists that these are worth printing an
we agree with him.
Blessed is the Christian whose calendar
contains prayer-meeting night.
Blessed is the man who is faithful on a
church committee.
Blessed is the man who will not strain at a
drizzle and swallow downpour.
Blessed is the man who can endure an hour
in place of worship well three
hours in place of amusement.
Blessed is the church officer who was not
born pessimist.
Blessed is the man who loves the church
with his pocket well as his heart.
Blessed is the man who is generous in ev-
erything but criticism
Blessed is the man whose watch closes
without snap.
Blessed is the man who drops criticism
the sidewalk.
Blessed is the man who loves his church and
praises it.
Blessed is the man who has patience as well
as piety.

This is the season of the year when, to MANI
of u.s. Minnesota puts her best climatic foot
forward.
The softness of midday in October has some
thing indescribable in its charm, Sd that one
wonders why convention has not decreed the
general vacation period for this time instead
of an earlier and far less allurng section OF the
calendar.
But for some reason, the holiday season Is
expected to coincide with time when mosque
toes, poison ivy, and electric storms are at their
most profuse; when ice refuses to keep over
Sunday, and the encroachment of insect life gen
orally calls for fierce and unremittng warfare.
1t seems much more sensible 20 endure hot
weather through the combined graces of steady
occupation and an easily available bathtub,
then to enjoy the loneliness of outdoors in aut

Some of us have often wondered bit abor
that Tower of Babe story. Bertram Bloch, writ
ing for Life. explains it this way
Once upon time, when all the world
was very young, a big corporation was put

Everything was going along well
enorgh, when one of the firm VINO believed
in new methods came to the conclusion that
things could be much better.

us one ~ efficiency expert who will in
struct US in the process of speeding up"
Which he did straightway.
The efficiency expert examined the sit
uation scornfully and then spake as follows:
Gentlemen, your workmen waste 416 normal, !
or lightweight plumbers, hours in useless
conversation every day."
"But how can we prevent that" asked
the firm.
"That is very simple" said the eff
cheney expert. Employ no two men who
speak the same language"
And that, dear children, is how the
Tower Of Babel cure not to be built.

The Gazette was pleased to see the flags
out last week when the Womens Relief Corps of
the Third District honored the city by holding
it's annual convention here. We shall be glad
to see them out again on Armistice Day and on
for the display of colors. But let's be bit
chary about those same flags. Let not make
the mistake that some towns have made, of us
ing them for decoration upon every and any oc-
assion no matter how slight it may be- There
are several reasons why we should not overdo
this matter of flag display. In the first place
the flag is patriotic symbol and it should never
be confused with the mediums of ordinary de-
coration 1t has no place in the decorations for
street fairs, for Chautauquas, for ordinary con-
ventions nor for other meetings of similar kind.
To use it thus promiscuously cheapans it and
renders its beauty monotonous and common
place: A second reason, quite Interior, is that
constant usage of these flags make them appear
worn and faded and quite unfit for use when a
legitimate reason for their display does come.
Members of the Grand Army of the Republic and
the American Legion are, for obvious reasons,
best versed in the matter Of flag etiquette. It
is not unseemly that these organizations should
be permitted to dictate the fitness or unftness
of flag display upon OCCASION. We believe the
purchase of uniform flags on uniform mount
ings by the business people of Minnesota towns
was good thing, but we also believe that unless
they are used with discretion it would be bet
ter not to lave them. The temptation to over
display them presents itself to every town hav-
ing made this purchase.

Billy Noonan, editor of the Baudette Re-
gion, is tremendously interested in getting the
farmers of his community to raising cows Of
a real kind to eat the clover that groweth as
a weed in Billy's neck Of the woods. He is con-
stantly saying things more or less apropos of
this cows-clover-and-cash proposition on which
he has his heart set. His latest effort is to the
effect that making money out of scrub cows is
about as difficult as going east on westbouni
train. The farmers who have Old Man Hard
Times licked are the ones who have good cows -

THE THOUSANDTH MAN
By Rudyard Kipling.

One man in thousand, Solomon says,
Will stick more close than brother.
And it's worth while seeking him half your days
If YOU find him before the other.
Nine hundred and ninety depend
On what the world sees in you,
But the Thousandth man will stand your friend
With the whole round world agin you.
IT'S neither promise nor prayer nor show
Will settle the finding for 'ee
Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em go
By your looks or your acts or your glcry.
But if he finds you, and you find him,
The rest Of the world don't matter;
For the Thousandth Man will sink or swim
With you in any water.
You can use his purse with no more shame
Than he uses yours for his spending;
And laugh and mention it just the same
As though there had been no lendings
Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em call
For silver and gold in their dealings;
But the Thousandth Man, he's worth 'em all,
Because you can show him your feelings!
His wrongs your wrong, and his rights your
right,
In season or out Of season.
Stand up and back it in all mems sight,
With that for your only reason!
Nine hundred and ninety-nine can't bid
The shame or hooking or laughter,
But the Thcusandth Man will stand by your side
To the gallows-foot-and after!

why she should help to sell the October oath

maintain that anything said prior to its sale

CLIMBING

It's the feel of the rocks and the turn OF the pain
And the vista now and then;
It's the flower in the rock, or the call OF the Dlro
That bids you leave the glen
It's the cool of the air, and the steady CLIMB
That makes you feel alive;
And the view at the top is the best OF the iot
When you at last arrive.

Nothing makes a man more ridiculous and
less efficient in the world than to assume a posi-
ton of superior virtue, and especially when he
seeks to advertise his superiority to the extent
of voluntarily telling all other folks how to live
If anything disgusts good people with man it
is to see him act as if God had called him to
one side and said: "Now you keep eye on
my other children" The world will never re-
volve .around any one humble individual. The
man who really tries to be right himself will
have mans size job on hand. If he tries also
to make all other folks right he will fail with
his own life, and only repel other people. Folks
follow the man who has proved his virtue by
his clean and radiant living, and not the man
who sets up as an example Of what all men
should be.

THE BUSY LEAGUE

The sixth session of the Assembly OF the League
of Nations opens the first Monday in September. The
Council of the League in June completed its Saith
sion Month after month, all through the year, small
groups, investigating committees and conferences
established by the League carrying forward work
of which the public hears little but which is of vital i'm
portance in widening and deepening international un-
derstanding and cooperation.
ALI of this should be of great interest to all Amer
leans, whatever their political attitude toward the
League may be. At the time of the Leagues forma-
ton and our national discussion to entrance,
it looked at chiefly onesided organization
Its chief purpose thought of simply settling
trying to settle disputes between nations which might
lead to military conflicts Whenever the League fails
to do this any specific instance that fact is heralded
rather widely as proof of the Leagues incompetence.
1t is therefore we'll to note occasionally that the
League is functioning all the time and that il is
complishing great deal OF useful work To many
persons who believe that the foundations of peace go
deeper than military control and rest solid basis
of mutual understanding and helpfulneSs, all of this
international cooperation in intellectual, educational
an sociological affairs is very hopeful
