An exchange says "Use both your dollars and
sense in buying at home." Not so rotten!

The last payment you make on a car is the
amount you pay the dealer to let you trade it in
for nothing on new one. Watch yourself and
see if this isn't so.

President Coolidge, in the Bruce Barton in
terview, indorses marriage unequivocally. What
other visionary project will this reckless radical
advocate next?-Emporia Gazette.

No less person than United States Senator
Copeland makes the statement that Half of
what we eat keeps us alive. The rest keeps the
doctors alive" All of which goes to prove that
most of us are running up too many grocery bills.

About all the advertising some men ever do
is when they print announcement that they
are starting up business, and then an advertise
ment announcing a closing-out sale. And then
they wonder why the in-between season was un-
successful!
Larry Ho refused to wear silk hat when
Queen Marie came to Saint Paul. Wise Larry!
He had probably looked in a mirror sometime or
another when he tried on of these atrocities
belonging to one of the fastilious members of
his family. "High-Hat and Larry Ho' are just
not one and the same in any sense.

We need broader, firmer, deeper faith in
the people-a faith that men desire to do right,
that the commonwealth is founded upon right
eousness which will endure reconstructed faith
that the final approval of the people is given
not to demagagues, slavishly pandering to their
selfishness, merchandising with the clamor of
the hour, but to statesmen ministering to their
welfare, representing their deep, silent, abiding
convictions. Coolidge.

Frank Eddys congratulatory note to Frank
A. Day, following the latter's recent election to
the State Senate, was extremely characteristic

My Dear Senator: Permit me to
extend you my most hearty and sincere
congratulations. do not think your pre-
sence in the senate will improve it any in
righteousness and rectitude, but it will
make it d sight more interesting

Bob Forrest remarks in The Lake Wilson
Pilot: "In passing we want to say that there is
still money in this section of the middle west.
At sale last week sheep sold for $3.50, common
everyday cows brought $50. Hens went high
as $1.27 and second hand kitchen stove brought
$1O2, and the funny part of it is that most of the
buyers paid cash. In fact $1,000 in currency was
paid at the farm that day for livestock purchas-
ed. The sale amounted to $1,000. There seems
to be some money in circulation"

We hear lot of talk these days about eff
fciency. That's why it struck us very pat
the other day when we heard speaker say that
efficiency is nothing in the world but common
sense dressed up in silk hat-nothing but old
fashioned shrewdness under fancy title" And
yet for the last few years efficiency experts"
have tried to make US believe that theirs is
brand new discovery and brand new profession.
Truly there is nothing new under the sun.

In view of the fact that the reforestation
amendment passed and that Minnesota is gradu-
ally waking up to her needs in this connection,
the following little paragraph written by Fred
Hadley of California is both timely and true:
This country learn something
from Sweden. More than so per cent of
the land area in Sweden is forested, and
the Swedes are endeavoring to conserve
the trees. Over here, the vast majority
of the people do not know and do not
care anything about the value Of forests
to the nation.
