The State Fair Association did q
wise thing Tin our humble judgment,
the other day when it reelected Her
man Roe of Mortified as its presi-
dent. Herman can do more thinga
and do them well than cry two othei
!; men Of his size in Minnesota. Cap.
ably heading the State Fair Board is
! only one Of tho public and civic en-
terprises at which he "shines," and
: he does it all while editing the North
field News, one Of the states best
weeklies as q side issue. We are
stronger than horse radish for just
the type Of American citizen that
; Herman is, and we are glad that the
State Fair Association has the same
good judgment we have!

The Industrial Commission of Min
nesota made its report last week and
the first paragraph Of this repor.
states that illegal employment of
children is constantly diminishing If.
Minnesota, but many technical viola
tions of the child labor law and the
compulsory education law still occurs
in RURAL COMMUNITIES! And
yet we have people right here in Min
nesota who become incepsed-some-
times just plain mad-every Tina
there is an insinuation that the state
still has child labor problem. So
long as a single child Is deprived Of
his inherent right to an education and
good physical start in life that prob.
lem stin exists.

/. The most understandable bank
statement we have ever seen-in fact
the only one that ever meant any
thing to us-was published in recen.
issue of the Wheaton Gazette. THIS
statement was quite different from
the usual one that can be deciphered
only by one versed in banking; it
made things so plain that even a
feminine person whose sole banking
knowledge consists of speaking a.
quaintance with sight drafts, over-
drafts and interest could tell what
it was all about. Really it was as
simple and easy to get as the annua!
statement of grocery store or any
other similar business. 1t told how
much the bank owed its depositors,
how much it owed in notes, mort.
cages, bonds, credits with other bank
and its cash, with its surplus simply
set forth. One felt after reading it
that the banker had nothing to con.
ceal, that he was taking the public
into his confidence as it is entitled to
be taken, and that the bank could not
fail to get the confidence of its COM
munity in return. Incidentally it
took page of space in the paper and
was so arranged and placed that it
was the most conspicuous thing about
the paper except the front page. Tha.
bank has started something has
planted seed which may in the long
run result in the average citizen
knowing what and how bank is
conducting the financial trust of its
community. Editor Jim Morrison of
the Morris Tribune, in speaking of this
same advertisement says: "Such
statements and advertisements beget
confidence and confidence in ;fs ho nlrS
