Small Town Talk


You may be victim of hard times
but ten chances to one you are just
the victim of laziness.

1t only takes about six real hard
working knockers to put a perfectly
good town on the hummer. Time for
six people in this town 20 check up on
themselves!

$50 many troubles are imaginary"
is a nice, comfortable, trite and tight
little saying, but anyone who tries to
handle all his troubles on that theory
is bound to run amuck.

Miss Abbie Sucker of Minneapolis
has bought St. Peter beauty par
lor. Gawsh! We hope it won't
prove that the dear girl is one of
the kind that lives up to her name.

1t is extremely hard to believe
stories that float to one on whiskey
breath, no matter how much conf
dence one may have in the veracity
of the speaker when he has not been
inbibing.

An exchange recently commented
on the fact that Ted Christianson's
pictures are not smiling enough. We
can't imagine any one being very
grinny who has tackled the job Ted
has-that of putting over an economy
program in Minnesota.

Fashion has decreed that plump
girls are to be again the fashion.
Which is very agreeable to the girl
Just at the beginning of the straw
berry sundae season-but pretty
darned bad news to their 'boy
friends"
Magnus Johnson promised "Ma"
Magnus and the other members of the
family that he would not file for
campaign for governor unless he
could be sure it wouldn't cost him
good money. Magnus has filed!
Whence cometh the spondulux

Joe Reynolds went to the hospital,
had something or other removed and
came back to his work on the editor
ial page of the Mankato Free Press
Just the same poppy, snappy, love-
able, ornery, Acknowledged old cuss
that he was before. Praise be!

A recent press notice says that the
boom for bananas, started in London
by the song, eyes, we have no BAN
anas," has collapsed. We didn't sup
pose there was enough to that song
to start anything-not even collaps-
ible boom in England.

IT'S rumored that Maude Donahue
Hall of Cokato will run for the legis-
lature. If Maude is a candidate we
are going to move into her County
in plenty of time to vote for her
there isn't anything that would give
us more pleasure than that.

The home of Bobbie Burns, the
Scotch poet, was recently destroyed
by fire. That is real loss not only
to Scotland and to those of the same
nativity as Bobbie, but to every one
who loved him everywhere. And who
shall say where the lovers Of Robert
Burns are not to be found!

Gaylord is still getting much and
favorable comment because of the
proves of her basketball team. We
hope the village doesn. try to high
hat us the next time we drive through
on our way to Minneapolis 1t has
always been friendly sort of town
wouldn't it be pity t. it went and
got stuck up and naughty?

The modern children are extremely
modern-and also rather intelligent.
For instance one small boy recently
remarked that he was glad he had the
kind of a mother who could cook
good things to eat and talk about
something else. One more argument
for these mothers to make an effort
to keep up with the times.

"Pay as you go" says the public
I financiers; "Pay as you ride" says
the automobile salesman; "Pay as you
can" say the installment house. All
of which, as the Stephen Messenger
points out, is one of the very best
reasons why all the average sized in
comes are mortgaged for all they will
stand for one or several years ahead.
"Pay cash." is the only solution.

Magnus Johnson says he doesn't
believe in practicing economy in its
strictest sense, but he is thoroughly
prepared to go before the people and
campaign on the basis of reduction of
taxes. Ever since we heard of Mag
nus at all we have heard him touted
as a man of good, plain, everyday
common sense" Suppose. this is a
fair sample of that commodity.

Sam A. Rask is contemplating run
ming against Congressman Furlow
down in the First District. It's going
to be mighty hard for the women OF
that District to decide for whom to
