THIS IS ANOTHER DAY

THIS is ANOTHER DAY
I am mine own priest, and shrive myself
OF all the wasted yesterdays. Though sin
And sloth and foolishness, and all i'll weeds
OF error, evil and neglect grow rank
And ugly there, dare forgive myself
That error, sin, and sloth and foolishness.
God knows that yesterday I played the fool;
God knows that yesterday played the knave;
But shall therefore cloud this new dawn DER
With fog of futile signs and vain regrets?
This is another day! And flushed hope walks
Adown the sunward slopes with golden shoon
This is another day And it's young strength
Is laid upon the quivering hills until,
Like Egypt's Memnon, they grow quick with
song.
This is another day! And the bold world
Leaps up and grasps it's light, and laughs,
AS leapt Prometheus up
And wrenched the fire from Zeus.
This is another day! Are it's eyes blurred
With maudn grief for any wasted past?
A thousand thousand failures shall not daunt!
Let dust clasp dust; death, death; / am alive!
And out of all the dust and death Of mine
Old selves / dare to lift singing heart
And living faith. My spirit dares drink deep
Of the red mirth mantling the cup of morn.
Don Marquis.

There's an old newspaper yarn about youth
who thought he wanted to become reporter.
To try him out the city editor assigned him to
cover wedding. Some hours later the young
man returned and reported in disgust that the
assignment was frost-there wasn't any wedd-
ing to write about. At tn last minute the bride
had backed out and didn't show up.
Some merchants who have smiled over this
story are just as ignorant of news values as
was the green reporter. There is news under
their noses, in their own establishments, which,
if communicated to the public, would help to at
tract customers and sell their wares, and they
don't know it.
It's mighty dull store in which there are not
daily happenings of great interest to customers
that ought to be spread forth in the advertising
columns of the newspapers to stimulate patron
age.
You may not be able to make buyers sit up
and take notice by telling them buntly that you
have a certain article for sale at such-and-such
a price; but it's poor article if you can't give
some valuable information about its quality, its
uses, its appearance its service ability, that will
make the people for whom it was made want to
own it Such information is news.-Duluth Her

HE DESERVES REELECTION

FTER much less than year in office,
n Governor Christianson finds himself with
a real fight on his hands. He has dar-
ed to attempt a reorganization which of neces-
sity Topped off many political job holders and
they clamoring for his scalp. 1t is notice
able however, that most of the bowling is being
done by the political job holders. There is little
complaint being done by the voters. Grarting
that the governor has made mistakes in some OF
his appropriation cuts and in his reorganization.
he deserves a second term, if for no other reason
than he has played fair with the people who
elected him. He was elected a tax-reduct-
ion platform and he has honestly tried to re-
duce taxes in the only way that taxes can be re-
duced, by reducing expenditures. An effort
will no doubt be made to offer some other can
didate at the next election. But long as the
governor continues to play fair with the voters
he can have the reelection he deserves.-Anoka

The days Of the private marked auto trail
are over. Before the state and national govern
ments began marking roads, the private marked
trails rendered a service and were necessary.
That day has passed, however. The community
that is chipping in to keep the private trail or
ganization going, is not making much Of an in
vestment. All one has to do to learn that this
is the fact is to observe travel. Long Prairie,
for instance, is not privately marked trail
There are couple of paper" trails through
here but in no sense they marked trails
There is more traffic going through the town
this year than ever before and the cars seem to
represent every state in the union. From tour
list talk they evidently pay but scant heed to the
private marked trail. They go where the roads
are" and the state markings show them the
way The announcement by the government
that it will mark interstate trails is the last
thing needed to make private trails useless.
Five years from now unless the paint with
stands the elements better than usual, there
won't be private trail mark observable in Min
nesota.-Long Prairie Leader.

whistlng gently, tunefully he approached

was in boyhood days when he marched in the

THESE YOUNGSTERS AGAIN

" hiding fault With young people IS no.
II only favorite sport today, but is one OF
the inexcusable sins of the time" Sc
says DIR. w. E. J. Gratz, editor of the Epworth
Herald, and formerly well known Methodist
minister in Minnesota. He declares that the
answer to "Why young people not as good
as they used to be-" is "They never WERE" He
points out that the generation now in power Is
responsible for the questionable movies, bad
books and other influences dangerous to youth.
Dr. Gratz is probably right in saying that the
present generation is no worse than the last
one. Criticisng the young is one way OF try
ing to forget own shortcomings. 1t is in
finitely better to guide them by precept and ex-
ample; to encourage them by understanding
sympathy, and to help them toward better
things by glad and willing comradeship.-Slay
