A boy at Lake Crystal lost both legs the
other-day just by the world-old boy-trick OF try
ing to sneak ride on a freight train. How many
generations of boys is it going to take before
bows learn that the penalty is too great for the
fun.
The Farmer-Labor party has evidently vast
ed away to just shadow of its former healthy
self. The vote split between Tom Davis and
Magnus last Monday hardly a respectable
sized vote for one good sized man to carry
to say nothing of two.
We used to think that the only thing we
really had against ex-governor Eberhart was the
song he wrote while in the dentists chair. But
we have discovered something else Someone re-
minded us the other day that it was he who call
ed a special session of the Legislature to pass
the primary law and 'sot down" his signature
at the end of said law after its enactment. Ad-
olph is even less friend to Minncsotans than
we at first thought. him.

Once again has the Primary Election proved
its purpose! All the people who have howled the
loudest for it stayed at home and forgot to use
it now that they have it. The results of the
Primary were satisfactory to the Gazette editor
in the last particuar-but just the we can
see no reason for having an ms tuition that
less than one voter in ten uses. Last Mondays
election was certainly an excellent example of
minority rule.
"What are the vets going 20 do in :.
the coming state election? They side
stepped Christensen and voted for
Leach, who gave it out on the quiet that
he was against the Volstead act. Mag
nus is dry, and Jacques, the democratic
candidate is not expected to cater to the
wet element, in view of his past activity

Minnesota. Brown County Journal.
Well give anyone three guesses! What ARE
the vets going to do?

The Duluth Herald says "The figure of the
irrepressibe julius will be welcomed back to
public life by his many friends" ''Irrepressible
julius is good. "Welcomed back is also good
If ever anyone got cordial welcome back
that person was julius who slipped onto the tic
ket by of his od-time majorities after alb
of six years from political otfice-seeking.
Every vote was literally handshake Of welcome.

Once in while change of view is good
for the soul. Here's one-a decided one!
It's easy to blame the banks for
troubles but have you ever stopped to
think what the banks have had to face
in the past few years in the way Of COM
petition. With the federal land tank and
rural credit system in the income of
the banks has been cut tremendously.
In the meantime they continue TO carry
our little ten dollar balance accounts
and take care of our other needs without
cent of compensation. Well have to
give them credit for that.-Windoni Citi-

Bob Forest gives this bit of timely advice
to anglers and the friends of anglers.
If you have any friends OF relatives
visiting you this year from other states
than Minnesota and they crave to go fish
ing, even for the humble bull head, see
that they secure fishing license for nom
resident anglers. They may not know
| that license is needed it is up to
every Minnesotan to tell them 1t will
save them a fine or Jail sentence. Here
tofore the game warden has marched
that they secure a fishing license Cor nom
resident license could be secured. This
season they will not have the opportunity.
So tell your friends.

| It's queer! We mean the number OF things
certain Redwood Falls business find to do
around home about five o'clock good golf
ing days. Almost any sunny afternoon about
that time the boss" may be heard saying to his
employees, well, I'm leaving now. There are
a lot of things the wife wants done around the
yard and garden" And about fifteen minutes
after, if one happens to take drive over the
north side road into old Ramsey, there will be
seen about ten of these "round home" fellows all
ready to tee off. Sail right, boys. That's what
the golf course is for. But why not be honest
about it? You really don't bluff anybody, YOU
know-the wife least of ALL She goes ahead ano
trims the hedge and thins the carrots just the
same as she would if you were toiing away il
office shop.
