TOUR IeeC VIDE on exhibition IN a New YOrE
store. We haven't any doubt that some young
Jade in New York will insist that her best beau
have it set in white gold for ring for her-its
really none too large for the modernist girl

Yes, farmers, there are lot of you that
aren't paying single bit of attention to those
weeds growing along the roads. We hope you
are as ashamed Of yourselves as you should be-
Use part Of next Tuesday to go to the polls and
vote and another part of it to cut the dead weeds.
Both are marks Of good citizenship

We can't for the life of us see that Queen
Marie's approval Of smoking changes the status
of feminine smokes in America. The women of
this country are still competent, we assume, to
make their own judgments and thus far the ma
| jority Of women of mature minds have not put
the stamp of their approval upon smoking.

If you haven't yet made the acquaintance of
little Amendments One, Two and Three right
now is the time to do it. Next Tuesday you will
stand looking at ballot on which are printed
those amendments. And being good American
Citizen well as a thoughtful citizen of Mime
sofa you will want to cast an intelligent vote.
Preparedness is necessary.

The most unexpected has happened. Judge
Ben. Lindsey is now writing advertising state
ments for Pellmanism. We expect movie queens
to endorse toilet articles and male authors to
tout the virtues of cigarettes of various brands,
but to have Judge Ben. develop such wanton
commercialism is unbelievable

T Good for the bishop of Liverpool! He would
abolish hell. He says that hell is symbol out
of date. We must have model for wicked
ness. The good bishop is doubtless right in be-
lieving that most folks have left behind, with
their nursery rhymes, the idea that hell is a lake
OF fire perpetually burning. But he can't abol-
ish hell. In some form it awaits, here and now
in this life, the individual who will not live in
accordance with the best he knows-Grove Pat
terson.

The Luverne Herald is CARRYING full page
"a seven-column at that--of political adver-
Using. And it makes interesting reading since
each candidate comes out with more or less
detailed statement of his platform" We notice
there is considerable trend toward Economy in
State Government and Farm Relief. The Rock
County politicians are nothing if not unique and
original! But so few of them seem to tell just
how they are going to set about these highly
desirable things for their constituents.

One of the most interesting things about
the election next Tuesday will be to see how big
majority julius Schmahl will get At the June
primaries Mr.. Schmahl staged the biggest come
back Minnesota has ever seen and now his
friends are wondering how far he will co. every
agreeing that it will be some considerable
stretch We heard man say not so long ago
that "a fellow can work bet of some sort
on every candidate under the sun but julius.
When you try to get him the other fell
low just smiles and says oh, Julius-why talk
about him He's got everything right now!' y
Nobody is anxious about julius, but everyone is
interested

Negro Spirituals by Brother johnson start
ed the services off with laugh" says writer
in telling the story of one of the Aimee Nc
Pherson services in Los Angeles. We can un-
derstand audience being interested and thrill
ed and moved and made thoughtful by negro
Sprituals but that the singing of these old songs
with so much of the race tradition and race
tragedy in them, should move any congregation
to laughter is entirely beyond our comprehension
If that is the sort of congregations Aimee is at
tracing we doubt if her ministry has been as
far reaching, rather as deep-reaching as we
had been led to believe

Otto Kahn has recently published a new
book entitled "Of Many Things" and one of the
very worth while passages in this book says;
II have long felt and believed that
every man who has attained material
wealth should look upon himself as an in
vestment, so to speak, which the COM
munity has made. In return for the OPP
portunities given to him and for the fl
nancial results which they have brought,
it is "up to him" to yield dividends in
service and in other things of value to the
community. In proportion to whether,
in this sense he turns out good or
bad investment he merits the commenda-
ton or the disapproval of his fellow
citizens"

Alexander Pope was a grand old poet but
mean old thing at that. Away back in the six
