THIS, THAT, and THOSE
BY x. C. Dingpoor
(Philosepher)

words, words. words this
repetition is Shakespeare's. Let US
apply a few of them to
A SCIENTIFIC HUMILIATION
Dunn went upon railroad train
For many weary miles and
more;
He left his sweetheart, Madge
Muraine,
Behind him as he went before.
By four-and-twenty towns he
passed,
Pest-houses, too, and not few;
The Smallpox then was raging
fast,
Which made considerable ado.
"Arieu! Adieu my natal landp
He cried, and yet he did not
cry;
With tear and wear in vocal band,
No tear was there within his
eye.
His sigh was passing hard to
hear
Two here were better far than
one,
For grief unshared, or joy, or fear,
Are like a corn-cake halfway
done.
For cen doth pleasure find a gain,
When laughter shakes your ach-
ing rib,
To knew there is a sister pain
Beneath some other fellows
bib.
And when your hair upright doth
go,
And your two knees are knock
ing too,
IT'S sweet, surprising sweet to
know
Some other one s scared as you.
He reached at length his journeys
end;
"Nay send a message first
Will
70 Madge;" he said when urged
to wend
His way to rest by Uncle Phil
Dunn knew a thing or two, or three
Of science, and telegraphy-
The wireless kind-weli verseC
was he
In radio activity.
He flung his message in the air,
Alas, it took the hither route;
Twas captured by a Chinese fai,
Who had her new receiver out.
Alas! A lass, Chinese lass,
Away across the salty sea;
She caught the love-word ere
could pass,
! And she has found her affinity
And so, kind friends, we well ca
mourn,
Morn, noon and night the naples
date
That made of Madge a maid TO,
lorn
To face scientific fate.

WHY GIRLS LEAVE HOME

The title of this newspaper talk
which is the eighth of series that the bus
mess men Of Sank Centre are sponsoring as
expression of their interest in the problems
of agriculture the name of popular mu-
steal comedy, but there is not much comedy
about the real question and it's answer.
Girls, and boys, are leaving the farms, and
the homes in the smaller towns, because the
large cities afford them better opportunities
better wages for work. The farms and the
towns educate them. The bg cities swallow
them. This is more serious state of affairs
than may appear on the surface. The loss
to the farms and the farming communities
is all out of proportion to the gain which the
big cities derive. Agriculture, the industry
which has hewn homes out of the wilderness
and made America what it is today, must not
be allowed to recede to position of perma-
nent unattractiveness. Agriculture must
have such place in the economic structure of
the nation that the younger generation grow
ing up on the farms will desire to continue
in that field of work. There are fundamen-
tally better reasons why farming should be
remunerative and compromising vocation
than that it should be able to afford only the
returns absolutely necessary to make liv-
ing. The immediate present, the now of to-
day, affords ample reasons for giving our
best endeavors to bring about a proper
Strengthening of agriculture's position. AS
agriculture grows better and better as bus
mess, so will the towns grow and prosper.
Small industries of the smaller cities and
towns can grow bigger as the communities
needs develop. Employment for our girls
and boys will be had in the sections that have
contributed to their education and business
equipment. Assured everything is to be
gained and nothing to be lost by our stand
ing together to bring and keep agriculture
at par with the rest of Americas business
The business interests of Sank Centre are
willing if the neighbors on the farm point
the way in which they can help.

in this country and heavy arrivals
of foreign butter.
Arrivals of foreign butter for
the past week included two London
steamers and one direct boat from
New Zealand, unloading 1876
boxes or approximately 945,000
pounds.
Withdrawals of storage butter
are fairly satisfactory as will be
indicated by the following report

Boston and Philadelphia:

There has been some increase
in the supply of fresh eggs es-
pecially from, the middle western
and southern sections and selling
prices have declined. The Chica-
go market on Firsts today is quot
ed at Al to 43 cents, one cent low
er than a week ago, while the New
York market during the same per-
iod declined a to 5 cents a dozen.
The future of the egg market at
this time is very uncertain, as it is
largely a weather proposition,
which will have direct effect up
on the production and receipts of
eggs, on the consuming markets.
The Receipts of live poultry on
the New York market this week
are estimated at 307 cars. With
these heavy receipts, trading has
been quiet and arrivals have not
been clearing satisfactorily. The
sale of fowls has been only fair,
but chickens have been working
out quite satisfactorily. The Chi

PRIMARY POLITICS DO NOT PURIFY

After ex-senator A. J. Beveridge's eX-
posture in the Saturday Evening Post OF tne
evils and corruption of the old convention
system and the Improvement made by the prl-
mary we wonder how many OF these lead
ing republican editors" of Minnesota will have
the effrontery to go on pleading Tor lt-rer-
gus Falls Tribune. 80
The Herald editor has watched the work.
ing of the Primary election law in Minnesota
from the time when it was first tried out on
the city of Minneapolis, and regardless of the
conclusions of Mr.. Beveridge or Harry
Wheelock, we have never been able to kid,
ourselves into believing, that it has improved
political conditions in Minnesota.
Before the legislative and county officers
were placed on a non-political basis it was
quite the proper thing for members OF one
party to 90 into the polls and try and noml-
nate a "weak sister" as candidate of the
opposing party, hoping to beat him at the
General election.
The Herald editor has always been old
fashioned enough to feel that it was none
of our business whom a political party to
which we did not belong, nominated for any
given office When general election date
rolled around, well-that's different matter.
With all it's faults, and there were many
things to criticize more capable men served
Minnesota in public office, except, for few
notable exceptions, under the much cussed
caucus convention system, than since the
adoption of the Primary Election law.
If Mr.. Voter had attended the caucus
of past days he could have controlled. They
really have but little to say at Primary Elec-
ton time as they fail to exercise their right
of suffrage.
The people of Minnesota never really
wanted Magnus Johnson for United States
senator; but he was elected with % per
cent vote of the state.
The Herald editor has, in spite of Mr..
Beveridge, "the effrontery to go on pleading
for the old convention system"

Washington Letter

Washington, Dec. 29-The ex-
change of social amenities among
government officials and members
of the Congress during the holiday
season may bring results. The hol-
iday season is regarded as propit-
ious for political trading and no
secret is made of the fact the par
ty leaders are taking advantage of
the occasion to patch up political
fences. 1t is obvious to all OBJ
servers that halt must be called
upon the growing spirit of dissen-
sion, which is breaking down party
solidarity and building up factions.
1t is reported that Republicans
and Democrats alike are concerned
over the possibility of an extra
session, resulting from the i,
creasing number of squabbles,
particularly in the Senate. 1t is
only strategy of the highest order
that can prevent a special session
biting called to provide appropria-
lions necessary for the conduct of
the Federal Government during
the fiscal year beginning July l.,
1927. A fillibuster or protracted
delay will leave the President no
alternative.
The Senate and House have
passed two appropriation bills for
the maintenance of three Federal
Departments. 1t is expected that
the conferees will bring out ia
vorable report on the Interior De-
partment bill, which passed the
Senate last week. The House Com
mittee on Ways and Means Com
at work on appropriation bills and
concern is manifested over their
fate if the Senate opens the dis
cussion on political corruption at
the primaries and other issues,
which will leave little time for the
consideration Of fiscal measures.
1t is reported that the admins
tration is gravely concerned over
the radio situation. The Depart
ment of Commerce has advocated
a measure, and Memberse of Con-
gress have offered substitutes with
the result that the proponents of
the various measures have not
reached an agreement. The radio
controversy is of far greater po-
litical significance than the sur
face view indicates. It is insep-
abably "hooked up" with alleged
electrical monopolies and nation
wide propaganda concerning pub
lie utilities and the Muscle Shoals
project Il

RETAIN THE DUNN ONE MILL TAX LAW

oils Taxpayers Association has started
movement to repeal the Dunn one mill road
tax law.
This law stands as monument to the
far-sightedness of the late Robert Dunn of
Princeton, father of the better highway
movement in Minnesota.
Under the law the three big counties of
the state do not participate in the distribu-
ton of the funds. Every rural county in the
state receives annually several thousands dol
lars more back from the state than they pay
in.

spring chickens and prices have
made net advance If from one
to two cents on the very top quo
tations.
Receipts of dressed chickens
have been very heavy and market
dull, large quantities of chickens
finding their way into storage,
rather than being moved at poor
sales and lower prices. The sup
ply of dressed fowls also has been
Liz eral and difficulty is being ex-
perienced to move the larger sizes.

ton warrant, while the faster
growing communities like Califor-
MO, New York, Michigan, Illinois
and Iowa are at a disadvantage.
Proposals is made in certain quar-
tiers to delay reapportionment I'M
til after the 1880 census is COM
pleted. The complaint against un-
fair representation is growing, and
Congress will undoubtedly discuss
the problem next year.
Few people realize the tremen-
dous growth of population in this
ciuntry. For instance, the latest
report of the Census Bureau sub
mitted to Congress last month
shows that Gin continental United
States, approximately 100000
births and 100000 deaths occur
annually, producing an annual in
crease in the population of 1,400,-
900. To this must be added the
net increase resulting from immi-
grafton and emigration. On July
l, 1926, the population of the
United States as thus estimated
was 117,136,000." Proposals has
been made by Government officials
to take census every five years.
There are one or two measures
pending in Congress concerning a
National divorce law. The ques-
ton of divorce has been revived of
late, and the Census Bureau has
presented some interesting figures
based upon a study completed last
June. On the basis of reports
from 80 per cent of the country
"the number of marriages so far
reported shows a slight decrease,
as compared with the number re-
ported from the same States and
counties for 1924, but the number
of divorces shows an increase of
not quite 8 per cent, or about
twice the percentage of increase in
the general population of the
United States" On June 80 the
available reports showed for 1925
916,361 marriages and 153, 646 di-
vorces, as compared with total
of 1,178,318 marriages and 17O,-
952 divorces reported for the year
1894" Romance still lives de-
spite these discouraging figures.

The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1926-12-30

The rumor is current in Wash
ington that the debate on these
measures will provide startling
sensations dealing with the activi-
ties of the so-called electrical COM
bine and Federal Government. The
Federal Trade Commission has al
ready instituted an investigation at
the request of the Senate and de-
mand is now made for an early
report. The story is current in po-
litical circles that the Federal
Trade Commissions report on the
activities of the alleged electrical
trust" will be withheld until af-
ter the adjournment of Congress,
March A. There are some who be-
lieve the findings Of this Federal
agency will carry political "dyna-
mite" and as a consequence are
demanding a speedy report. The
Special Senate Committee is al
ready iquiring into the scope of
the so-called "bread" trust, and
has questioned officers of the Fed
eral Trade Commission. The fail
ure of the farm groups to obtain
legislative relief at this session
may force a widespread discussion
on the Government and "big bus
mess" Reports have it that the
Administration is cognizant of
this situation, and has the Depart
ment of Justice engaged in inten-
sive study of combines in industry,
etc.
The patronage issue, especially
the case of Cyrus Woods, form
er diplomatic, appointed by the
President to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, has brought
with it an issue which Senate
leaders believed for time could
be postponed until the next ses-
sion, that is, an open debate on
Pennsylvania primary expendi-
lures. Mr.. Woods halls from
Pennsylvania and has been active
in political affairs. His confrma-
ton to a Federal post is opposed
and the controversy has opened
the primary expenditures issue
somewhat prematurely. Nowadays
an appointee to a high Federal
Post has to pass an acid test.
Though the question of reappor-
tionmentis being agitated in the
East and far West, little encour-
agement is given to the proposal
to change representation based on
population in Congress. Statistics
show that many localities have
more legislators than their popula-
