SMALL TOWN TALK


1--WE have plenty of money" says Secretary of
the Treasury Andrew Mellon. Seems to us Andy
is bit too liberal in his use Of that word "we!'

A Saint Paul girl ate ten tacks the other
day. She said it didn't hurt her; she apparently
didn't even feel "tacky."

President Coolidge is just like all other hus-
bands-his wife wouldn't believe he caught the
'big fish" either.

And now we learn that soft-bolled eggs are
not considered a health food. We don't care
they weren't so terribly good anyway

An economist has suggested thet We "tell
our dollars where to go instead of asking where
they went" More to that than just clever twist
of words, we surmise.

Every once in awhile some Of the kids in our
neighborhood overjoyed when they find
firecrackers that they had overlooked. Bless (?)
their little hearts! Such nice BIG bangs!

There is only one answer to all these argu-
ments about the why and the whence and the
wherefore of high taxes and that answer is,
"Quit voting bonds.'
Everybody get out to vote at School
Meeting this year because it comes on a Tues
day evening. Everybody can, but will-well that's
another'matter.
1t is reported that there are only one hundred
men of the United States employed in the MAX
ing of buggy whips. Its a safe bet that not more
than five-sixths of these are employed in De- |
troit, Mich.

Billy Sunday says: "Try praising your
wife, if it does brighten her at first" That's
pretty sentiment. 1t is even a worthy one, but
remember that if you start you will have to keep
it up.-Grove Patterson.

Grand Rapids merchant, who writes sur
prisng and always readable news letters as his
weekly advertising in his home town paper, ad-
vises his readers, after recent buying trip to
the East, that "the knee that used 20 be used as
joint will hereafter be used as an ornament
That was terrible blow to the dress reformers.

Down in Waseca County they have started
the playful little trick of stealing cans of cream
while the dairy cow and her boss are asleep. We
hope enterprising Redwood Falls hardware
man takes the tip, and begins to advertise pad
locks before this little thing becomes habit in
this vicinity
Strange that supposedly intelligent men
spend much money billboards Publicity
experts know that newspaper advertising is far
more effective than billbroad advertising. And
in the second place, billboards making COM
plete ruin of the landscapes of Amerca.-Duluth

Someone has asked what has beccme of the
old-fashioned voter who always kept his torch
well oiled and ready to march in political parade
of his party? We don't exactly know-we sus-
pect he is using that torch in his search for
party with which to parade. If there is anything
scarcer in these old United States than distnc-
tive political parties have it yet TO discover

Grandma Prejean, Lafayette, La.

Billy Noonan who lives in the mosquito-in-
tested lands of the Canadian border finds it hard
to believe that Noah took only one pair of mos
qutoes into the ark with him. We have always
had the same disbelief when we think of saxa-
phone players. Sometimes it seems rather a
! pity that there wasn't bit of a wreck to that
ark-just enough to seriously injure that side
of the boat which the wise old Noah must
have had the sense to herd all of the nuisances-
such mosquitoes, players and the like.

Comments on the recent primary election has
become passe that it really is longer in good
taste to so comment. But the Hokah Chief makes
the following little remark which gives an inter-
esting slant the late lamented.
The union labor folks of Minneapo-
lis, ST. Paul and Duluth carried those
three cities for Magnus Johnson, the
dirt farmer. The country districts
| gave majority to Tom Davis, Min
neapolis lawyer. What do you know
about such foolishness, except that it is,
like many other things in political
| elections, mexplainable?
