The United States has been establishing
new hospitals at the rate Of 100 a year since
1920, the American Medical Association
finds In series of tables of hospitals
and clinical statistics for 1925, compiled by that
organization, it is estimated that 60 per cent of
all physicians in the United States have immed-
late hospital connection. Even in the rural dis
trcts the sick are being better cared for, for 341
counties have been supplied with hospital SER
vice, which were without in 1920.

IS funny thing! A man who will stand at the
strictest sort of attention while the band wheezes
out the Star Spangled Banner will do all sorts
of things while the choir is singing the Doxol-
ogy. He'll help the baby down off the pew, as
sist his wife to put on her coat, turn around and
shake hands with the man behind him and do all
sorts of things Now isn't that inconsistent
Certainly if he be reverent to the national air
he can be ditto to the most sacred bit of music /
ever written.

Claude Atkinson, the grand old of Hib- |
bling is even capable of posting Post Here is
his latest suggestion in table etiquette which
should give the astute Emile Pause
liable are changing with
lOC Oh OIner CniHSS. IL is now permlS-
sible in correct society circles to swiffle
bit while eating corn off the cob. 1t
has been found that the person who
doesn't swiffle during the pleasant ex.

Abraham Lincoln's advice on how to
live was quite simple. 1t was: "Do not
/ worry. Eat three square meals day.
Say yours prayers. Keep your digestion
good. Be courteous to your creditors.
Steer clear of biliousness. Exercise. Go
slow and go easy"
It's good advice all right, even if only few
of Lincoln's countrymen do follow it. But we have
always wondered about that courteous your
creditors" clause. Our trouble has always been
to keep them courteous to

We have often thought that God was to be
found in Ramsey State Park and recently one of
the clergymen of Redwood Falls told us how he
had discovered Him in the Black Hills of South
Dakota. Now comes Billy Noonan of the Bau-
dette Region with another suggestion on the same
subject.

strike him dead. Now he is at Rainy

you imagine anybody living at North

the presence of Supreme Being?

1t is not cheering thought that the United
States is the largest per capita user of dope of
any nation in the world. Arthur M. Smith, in
e.. ~
says that the nation is in "the throes of gen.
eral disregard for law such afflicts no other
country in the world today, and such as this
try never before experienced-a condition which,
makes fertile soil for the extension of any ins1
Iious form of lawlessness." There seems ts5be
only one means of handling the situation and
that is to stop the importing of opium. And
that is an international question with which Am
erica has, as yet, unsuccessfully COPIED.
Herm Haislet has sold his good old sheet,
the ST. James Independent and will take rest,
hoping that his eyes will be benefited thereby.
Herm hasn't always beensA kindly editor but he
has always been an inteyjsting one and his paper,
which was independentall the while, will be miss
ed many exchange tables. There is one nice
thing about Herm bhe could always get into a
most interesting I8Idp Will HIS anu OH TIE very
shortest notice. JAS newspaper man he was a
good friend and better enemy Here's hoping
he comes backto the craft-and that without too

/ VIM. E. Vanderburgh of Minneapolis visited
Redwood Falls recently and told anyone who
would listen that he is candidate for Justice
Homer Dibbell's position on the State Supreme
bench Mr.. Vanderburgh frankly admitted that
his chief argument for his election was that his
FATHER had been on the Supreme bench for long
term of years. Aside from the fact that he was
a graduate of Princeton and had made num-
Der of unsuccessful political campaigns before,
he had nothing to say of himself, but talked long
and loud of what his fathers record meant to the
State. We wish to detract nothing from the re-
cord of the father--it is good one and should
| be left intact. But why should any man be elect
| ed to any office, to say nothing of the important
one which Vanderburgh wants just because of
what some other man has done in it before
Blood ties are strong, but they frequently do not
carry brains and ability from one generation to
another. We should say Homer Dibbell is safe
and should bel
